Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Shortly thereafter the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and all states and several municipalities subsequently declared public health emergencies. These declarations resulted in a wide-range of government directives impacting individuals and businesses beginning in late March 2020 to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The full extent to which COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the additional actions taken to contain it or treat it, as well as the severity and duration of the economic impact on local, regional, and national customers, suppliers and markets.

Commitments and Contingencies

At any given time, we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow.

On June 21, 2020, we announced an agreement to sell approximately 72,000 acres of rural timberland in Minnesota to The Conservation Fund for approximately $48.0 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments as defined in the agreement.
