TOUSA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
1. Business and Organization
Business
TOUSA, Inc. (TOUSA or the Company) is a homebuilder with a geographically diversified
national presence. We operate in various metropolitan markets in ten states, located in four major
geographic regions: Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, Texas, and the West. We design, build, and market
detached single-family residences, town homes and condominiums. We also provide title insurance and
mortgage brokerage services to our homebuyers and others. Generally, we do not retain or service
the mortgages that we originate but, rather, sell the mortgages and related servicing rights.
Organization
Technical Olympic S.A. owns approximately 67% of our outstanding common stock. Technical
Olympic S.A. is a publicly-traded Greek company whose shares are traded on the Athens Stock
Exchange. Our ownership could change if the holders of our convertible preferred stock exercise
their conversion rights. See Note 12.
Liquidity
Due to the continuing significant deterioration in the housing market, we have taken, and are
continuing to take, actions to maximize cash receipts and minimize cash expenditures. As part of
these initiatives, we continue to take steps to reduce our general and administrative expenses and
operations to increase efficiencies by reducing costs and
streamlining our activities including further reductions in workforce
of all levels and elimination of certain consulting arrangements and
indirect costs. However,
some of our efforts on reducing general and administrative expenses are being offset by
professional and consulting fees associated with the settlement of our Transeastern joint venture
(the Transeastern JV) and our current restructuring efforts. In addition, we are working with our
suppliers and seeking new suppliers, through competitive bid processes, to reduce construction
material and labor costs. We are analyzing each community based on profit and sales absorption
goals that include current market factors in the homebuilding industry such as the oversupply of
homes available for sale in most of our markets, less demand, decreased consumer confidence,
tighter mortgage loan underwriting criteria and higher foreclosures. We continue to review the
size, geographic allocations and components of our inventory to better align these assets with
estimated future deliveries. We have established inventory targets based on current market
conditions, existing inventory levels and our historical and projected results. If our inventory
exceeds these targeted levels, which is currently the case, we are and will continue to take
necessary actions to reduce our inventory level to these targeted levels. These actions include, to
the extent possible: limiting new arrangements to acquire land; engaging in bulk sales of land and
unsold homes; reducing the number of homes under construction and limiting development activities;
re-negotiating terms or abandoning our rights under option contracts; considering other asset
dispositions including the possible sale of underperforming assets, communities, divisions, and
joint venture interests; further reducing inventory target levels; and other initiatives designed
to monetize our assets including our deferred tax assets.
As a result of worsening market conditions since late July and our liquidity constraints,
during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we abandoned our rights under certain option
agreements which resulted in a 9,400 unit decline in our controlled homesites. Abandonment
decisions were made following in depth community by community analyses of all option contracts
based on projected returns, amount and timing of incremental cash flow, and owned homesites. In
connection with the abandonment of our rights under these option contracts, we forfeited cash
deposits of $166.9 million and had letters of credit of $91.2 million drawn, subsequent to
September 30, 3007, which increased our outstanding borrowings. We have entered into development contracts associated with our option contracts (which
development contracts include obligations of ours to develop property even if we abandon the option
contract). As of September 30, 2007 we recorded a $22.7 million loss accrual with respect thereto.
See note 3 to our financial statements included herein. As challenging market conditions
continue, we expect to continue to reduce inventory in an attempt to further align our inventory
levels to housing demand in those markets we serve, reduce our cost of sales relating to
construction and labor costs for the homes we build, and reduce our selling, general and
administrative costs to levels consistent with fewer home deliveries to operate within our
liquidity constraints. These or future actions may not be sufficient to allow us to continue our
operations.
The additional borrowings arising from the settlement of the Transeastern JV disputes and the
continuing deterioration of the housing market, including the worsening since late July 2007 due to
the mortgage and credit market crisis, has had, and will continue to
have for an unknown period of
time, a negative impact on our liquidity and our ability to comply with financial and other
covenants under our bank loans and indentures, including interest coverage, total leverage, and
tangible net worth covenants. All of these factors, and others which may arise in the future, will
adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
8
The reduction in our staff, combined with the challenges of implementing these initiatives,
has placed increased burdens on our remaining associates. We have retained consultants and are in
the process of developing and then implementing a structure to retain and incentivize the
associates who will be integral to our ability to successfully restructure our balance sheet.
Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have
$1.7 billion in borrowings, have experienced significant losses for the year ended December 31,
2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and continue to generate negative cash flows
from continuing operations. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we incurred a net loss of $817.7
million and had stockholders equity of $48.3 million at
September 30, 2007, which was a significant decrease when
compared to $774.9 million at December 31, 2006. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our
ability to restructure our capital structure including our attempt to exchange a large portion of
our outstanding indebtedness for equity. We have asked our bondholders to organize as a group in
order to discuss such restructuring and reorganization alternatives. Failure to restructure our
capital structure would result in, among other things, depleting our available funds and not being
able to pay our obligations when they become due, as well as possible defaults under our debt
obligations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
On July 31, 2007, we consummated transactions to settle the disputes regarding the
Transeastern Joint Venture (the Transeastern JV) with the lenders to the Transeastern JV, its
land bankers and TOUSAs joint venture partner in the Transeastern JV. Pursuant to the settlement,
among other things, the Transeastern JV became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours by merger into one
of our subsidiaries. The acquisition of the Transeastern JV (the TE Acquisition) is being
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the
Transeastern JV have been included in the consolidated results of TOUSA beginning on July 31, 2007.
See Note 4 for a full description of the TE Acquisition.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Those estimates and assumptions which, in the opinion of management, are both significant to
the underlying amounts included in the financial statements and as to which future events or
information could change those estimates include:
|
|
|
Impairment assessments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, long-lived
assets, including our inventory, and goodwill; |
|
|
|
|
Loss exposures associated with the abandonment of our rights under option contracts and
the relinquishment of our rights under certain joint ventures; |
|
|
|
|
Realization of amounts due from unconsolidated joint ventures; |
|
|
|
|
Insurance and litigation related contingencies; |
|
|
|
|
Realization of deferred income tax assets and liability for unrecognized tax benefits;
and |
|
|
|
|
Estimated costs associated with construction and development
activities, including warranty reserves, in connection
with our homebuilding operations. |
Due to our normal operating cycle being in excess of one year, we present unclassified
consolidated statements of financial condition.
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current year classifications. Certain operations have been classified as
discontinued. Associated results of operations and financial position are separately reported for
all periods presented. For additional information, refer to Note 14. Information in these Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted, does not include the accounts
of discontinued operations.

Interim Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting primarily of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results from operations, and cash
flows for the periods presented. Results of operations achieved through September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of those that may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 2007. The
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from audited financial statements
included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2006 audited financial statements in
our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included
therein.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we have eliminated inter-segment
Financial Services revenues of $3.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we have eliminated inter-segment Financial Services revenues of
$10.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options or
other common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market
prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when
inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share.
The
following table represents a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding:

earnings per share as the effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 12.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 66, Accounting for
the Sales of Real Estate (SFAS 66), at September 30, 2007 and 2006, we deferred approximately
$1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in profit related to certain homes that were delivered
for which our mortgage subsidiary originated interest-only loans or loans with high loan-to-value
ratios which did not meet the initial and continuing investment requirements under SFAS 66, and the
loans were still held for sale at the respective balance sheet dates. This profit will be
recognized upon the sale of the loans to a third party, with non-recourse provisions, which
generally occurs within 30 days from the date the loan is originated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 156,
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS 156), which provides an approach to simplify
efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This new statement amends SFAS No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with
respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
SFAS 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the
beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption
permitted in certain circumstances. We adopted SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. Due to the short
period of time our servicing rights are held, the adoption did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an interpretation of SFAS 109, (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes,
by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before it is
recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted FIN
48 effective January 1, 2007, and recognized a $1.3 million increase in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the retained earnings balance
at January 1, 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value,
10
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2008), and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the
effect of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2006, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 06-8,
Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyers Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66,
Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, for Sales of Condominiums, (EITF 06-8). EITF 06-8
establishes that a company should evaluate the adequacy of the buyers continuing investment in
determining whether to recognize profit under the percentage-of-completion method. EITF 06-8 is
effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after March 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for
us). The effect of EITF 06-8 is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for us). The adoption of SFAS 159 is not
expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
EITF Topic D-109, Determining the Nature of a Host Contract Related to a Hybrid Financial
Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share under FASB Statement No. 133, addresses the determination
of whether the characteristics of a host contract related to a hybrid financial instrument issued
in the form of a share are more akin to a debt instrument or more akin to an equity instrument.
EITF D-109 indicates that the determination of the nature of the host contract for a hybrid
financial instrument issued in the form of a share (that is, whether the nature of the host
contract is more akin to a debt instrument or more akin to an equity instrument) should be based on
a consideration of economic characteristics and risks of the host contract including all of the
stated or implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument. Although the
consideration of an individual term or feature may be weighted more heavily in the evaluation,
judgment is required based upon an evaluation of all the relevant terms and features. The
application of this guidance was considered and evaluated in light of
the Preferred Stock issued by us on July 31, 2007 (refer to
Note 12) but did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements as of September 30, 2007.

Included in interest incurred is the amortization of deferred finance costs
which amounted to $3.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, and $6.2 million and $2.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. |
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into option contracts to purchase homesites and
land held for development. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had refundable and
non-refundable cash deposits aggregating $82.0 million and $216.6 million, respectively, included
in inventory in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. Under these option
contracts, we have the right to buy homesites at predetermined prices on a predetermined takedown
schedule anticipated to be commensurate with home starts. Option contracts generally require the
payment of a cash deposit and / or the posting of a letter of credit, which is typically less than
20% of the underlying purchase price, and may require monthly maintenance payments. These option
contracts are either with land sellers or third party financial entities who have acquired the land
to enter into the option contract with us. Homesite option contracts are generally non-recourse,
thereby limiting our financial exposure for non-performance to our cash deposits and/or letters of
credit. In certain instances, we have entered into development agreements in connection with option
contracts which require us to complete the development of the land, at a fixed reimbursable amount,
even if we choose not to exercise our option and forfeit our deposit and even if our costs exceed
the reimbursable amount. As of September 30, 2007, we have abandoned our rights under option
contracts that require us to complete the development of land for a fixed reimbursable amount. At
September 30, 2007, we recorded a loss accrual of
$22.7 million, in connection with the abandonment
of these option contracts, for our estimated obligations under the development agreements. This
accrual is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
statement of financial condition at September 30, 2007.
In addition, certain of these option contracts give the other party the right to require us to
purchase homesites or guarantee certain minimum returns. As of September 30, 2007, we have
abandoned our rights under option contracts that give the other party the right to require us to
purchase the homesites. On some of these option contracts, we have received notices in which the
other party is exercising their right to require us to purchase the homesites under this provision
of the option contracts. We do not have the ability to comply with these notices due to liquidity
constraints. These option contracts were previously consolidated and the inventory was
11
included in inventory not owned and the corresponding liability was included in obligations
for inventory not owned. As we do not have the intent or the ability to comply with the requirement
to purchase the property, we have deconsolidated these option contracts at September 30, 2007.
Capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with these option
contracts are impaired and $14.0 million was written off during the three months ended September 30, 2007. In addition, at September
30, 2007, we recorded a loss accrual of $12.6 million, in connection with the abandonment of these
option contracts, for our estimated obligations under these option
contracts and $19.3 million for letters of credit which we
anticipated would be drawn due to nonperformace under such contracts. This accrual is
included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statement of
financial condition at September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the total required purchase
price under these option contracts was $52.3 million.
Some of these option contracts for the purchase of land or homesites are with land sellers and
third party financial entities, which qualify as variable interest entities (VIEs) under FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (FIN 46 (R)). FIN
46(R) addresses consolidation by business enterprises of VIEs in which an entity absorbs a majority
of the expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both, as
a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Obligations for
inventory not owned in our consolidated statements of financial condition represent liabilities
associated with our land banking and similar activities, including obligations in VIEs which have
been consolidated by us and in which we have a less than 50% ownership interest, and the creditors
have no recourse against us. As a result, the obligations have been specifically excluded from the
calculation of leverage ratios pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility.
In applying FIN 46(R) to our homesite option contracts and other transactions with VIEs, we
make estimates regarding cash flows and other assumptions. We believe that our critical assumptions
underlying these estimates are reasonable based on historical evidence and industry practice. Based
on our analysis of transactions entered into with VIEs, we determined that we are the primary
beneficiary of certain of these homesite option contracts. Consequently, FIN 46(R) requires us to
consolidate the assets (homesites) at their fair value, although (1) we have no legal title to the
assets, (2) our maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to the deposits or letters of credit
placed with these entities, and (3) creditors, if any, of these entities have no recourse against
us. The effect of FIN 46(R) at September 30, 2007 was to increase inventory by $16.5 million (net
of $2.2 million in impairments), excluding cash deposits of
$4.4 million, which had been previously
recorded, with a corresponding increase to obligations for inventory
not owned of $18.7 million in
the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition. Additionally, we have entered into
arrangements with VIEs to acquire homesites in which our variable interest is insignificant and,
therefore, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and are not required to
consolidate the assets of such VIEs. Our potential exposure to loss in VIEs where we are not the
primary beneficiary would primarily be the forfeiture of our deposit and/or letters of credit
placed on land purchase and option contracts. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our cash
deposits placed on land purchase and option contracts amounted to
$82.0 million and $216.6 million,
respectively, and our letters of credit placed on land purchase and option contracts amounted to
$146.7 million and $257.8 million, respectively.
From time to time, we transfer title to certain parcels of land to unrelated third parties and
enter into options with the purchasers to acquire fully developed homesites. As we have retained a
continuing involvement in these properties, in accordance with SFAS 66, we have accounted for these
transactions as financing arrangements. At September 30, 2007, $23.3 million (net of $2.6 million
in impairments) of inventory not owned and $25.9 million of obligations for inventory not owned
relates to sales where we have retained a continuing involvement.
As
of September 30, 2007, additional equity contributions in the
form of gap loans had been made to two unconsolidated joint ventures,
which are VIEs. The additional equity contributions constitute
reconsideration events under FIN 46(R). Based on FIN 46(R) analyses,
we will absorb the majority of expected losses and is the primary
beneficiary of each of these entities. Therefore, in accordance with
FIN 46(R), we consolidated these entities as of September 30, 2007,
resulting are additional assets and liabilities of $9.0 million
in our consolidated statement of financial condition.
In accordance with SFAS No.144, we carry long-lived assets held for sale at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value. For active communities, we evaluate an asset for impairment when
events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. Impairment is evaluated by estimating
future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating
impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of
interest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded an impairment loss
of $63.3 million and $112.7 million, respectively, on active communities which is included in cost
of sales inventory impairments and abandonment costs in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations, compared to $29.8 million and $35.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Included in the impairment charges on active communities for both
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is $63.3 million and $112.7 million,
respectively, of inventory impairments recognized on assets consolidated under FIN 46(R) or SFAS 66
for which we do not have title to the underlying asset.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we also recorded a charge of $441.2
million and $515.7 million, respectively, in write-offs of deposits and abandonment costs which is
included in cost of sales inventory impairments and abandonment costs in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations, related to land compared to $20.0 million and $22.1 million, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The following table summarizes information related
to impairment charges on active communities and write-offs of deposits and abandonment costs by
region (dollars in millions):

4. Transeastern Joint Venture Settlement and Acquisition
We acquired our 50% interest in the Transeastern JV on August 1, 2005, when the Transeastern
JV acquired substantially all of the homebuilding assets and operations of Transeastern Properties
including work in process, finished lots and certain land option rights. The Transeastern JV paid
approximately $826.2 million for these assets and operations (which included the assumption of
$127.1 million of liabilities and certain transaction costs, net of $30.1 million of cash). The
other member of the joint venture was an entity controlled by the former majority owners of
Transeastern Properties, Inc. We continued to function as the managing member of the Transeastern
JV through our wholly-owned subsidiary, TOUSA Homes L.P.
When the Transeastern JV was initially formed, it had more than 3,000 homes in backlog and
projected 2006 deliveries of approximately 3,500 homes. While management of the Transeastern JV
began to curtail sales in its communities at the end of 2005, these actions were taken not in
anticipation of a declining home sales market but rather in an attempt to address the Transeastern
JVs backlog until there was a balance among sales, construction and deliveries. Both our
management and the management of the Transeastern JV anticipated increased sales by the close of
the summer of 2006.
After experiencing several months of continuous declines in deliveries as compared to
forecasted amounts due to higher than expected cancellations and lower than expected gross sales,
in early September 2006, management of the Transeastern JV finalized and distributed to its members
six-year financial projections based on the build-out and sale of its current controlled land
positions. These revised projections from the Transeastern JV indicated that the joint venture
would report a loss in the fourth quarter and would not have the liquidity to meet its debt
obligations under the capital structure that was in place at that time. As a result of these and
other factors, in September 2006, we evaluated the recoverability of our investment in the joint
venture under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for
Investments in Common Stock (APB 18), and determined our investment to be fully impaired. As of
September 30, 2006, we wrote off $143.6 million related to our investment in the Transeastern JV,
which included $35.0 million of our member loans receivable and $16.2 million of receivables for
management fees, advances and interest due to us from the joint venture.
On October 31, 2006 and November 1, 2006, we received demand letters from the administrative
agent for the lenders to the Transeastern JV demanding payment under certain guarantees. The demand
letters allege that potential defaults and events of default had occurred under the credit
agreements and that such potential defaults or events of default had triggered our obligations
under the guarantees. The lenders claimed that our guarantee obligations equaled or exceeded all of
the outstanding obligations under each of the credit agreements and that we were liable for default
interest, costs and expenses.
On July 31, 2007, we consummated transactions to settle the disputes regarding the
Transeastern Joint Venture (the Transeastern JV) with the lenders to the Transeastern JV, its
land bankers and our joint venture partner in the Transeastern JV. Pursuant to the settlement,
among other things, (i) the Transeastern JV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours by merger into
one of our subsidiaries and became a guarantor on our credit facilities and note indentures,
(ii) the senior secured lenders of the Transeastern JV were repaid in full, including accrued
interest, and (iii) the junior and senior mezzanine lenders received securities of the Company in
satisfaction of the obligations of the Transeastern JV. In connection with the settlement, we
entered into Settlement and Release
13
Agreements with the senior mezzanine lenders (the Senior Mezzanine Lenders) and the junior
mezzanine lenders (the Junior Mezzanine Lenders) to the Transeastern JV (collectively, the Mezz
Settlement Agreements) which released us from our potential obligations to them. The TE
Acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5) and other authoritative
guidance, through June 30, 2007 we accrued $385.9 million for settlement of loss contingency
(determined by computing the difference between the estimated fair market value of the
consideration paid in connection with the global settlement less the estimated fair market value of
the business we acquired) of which, $275.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2006 and $110.9
million was accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2007 based on the final settlement terms.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007 we recorded an
additional $40.7 million upon
completion of the purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair market of the consideration
paid and the net assets acquired. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the
provision for settlement of loss contingency of $40.7 million
and $151.6 million, respectively, is presented as a
separate line item in our consolidated statements of operations. The accrual of $275.0 million is
included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidated statement of financial
condition as of December 31, 2006.
Settlement with Mezzanine Lenders
The Mezz Settlement Agreements released us from our potential obligations to the
Transeastern JVs mezzanine lenders. Pursuant to the Mezz Settlement Agreements, we issued to the
Senior Mezzanine Lenders the following securities: (i) $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of 14.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Election Notes due 2015 (the Notes); and (ii) $117.5 million in
initial aggregate liquidation preference of 8% Series A Convertible Preferred PIK Preferred Stock
(the Preferred Stock). We issued to the Junior Mezzanine Lenders, warrants to purchase shares of
our common stock. The warrants had an estimated fair value of $8.0 million at
issuance (based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and before
issuance costs).
Additional descriptions of the Notes, Preferred Stock and the warrants are provided in Notes 9 and
12.
Settlement with JV Partner
Pursuant to the settlement and mutual release agreement with Falcone/Ritchie LLC and certain
of its affiliates (the Falcone Entities) concerning the Transeastern JV, one of which owned 50%
of the equity interests in the Transeastern JV, we become the sole owner of the Transeastern JV and
have, among other things, released the Falcone Entities from claims under the asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which we acquired our interest in the Transeastern JV. The Transeastern JV
and we remain obligated on certain indemnification obligations, including, without limitation,
related to certain land bank arrangements. At closing, we agreed to purchase $50.2 million in
inventory that was controlled by the Transeastern JV through existing land bank arrangements with
an affiliate of our former JV partner.
TE Acquisition
To effect the TE Acquisition, on July 31, 2007, we entered into a (i) new $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility (the First Lien Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) a new $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term loan facility (the Second
Lien Term Loan Facility), (First and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities taken together, the
Facilities) with Citicorp North America, Inc. as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and
Book Running Manager. The proceeds from the credit facilities were used to satisfy claims of the
senior lenders against the Transeastern JV. Our existing $800.0 million revolving loan facility
(the Revolving Loan Facility) was amended and restated to (i) reduce the revolving commitments
thereunder by $100.0 million and (ii) permit the incurrence of the Facilities (and make other
conforming changes relating to the Facilities). Collectively, these transactions are referred to as
the Financing. Net proceeds from the Financing at closing were $470.6 million which is net of a
1% discount and transaction costs. See note 9 for additional discussion on the Facilities.

Summarized in the tables below is condensed combined financial information of unconsolidated
entities in which we have investments that are accounted for by the equity method (dollars in
millions). The results of the Transeastern JV are excluded in the tables below as our investment

We have entered into strategic joint ventures to acquire, to develop and to sell land and/or
homesites, as well as to construct and sell homes, in which we have a voting ownership interest of
50% or less and do not have a controlling interest. Our partners generally are unrelated
homebuilders, land sellers, third party financial entities or other real estate entities. Certain
of these joint ventures have third party debt that is secured by the assets of the joint venture;
however, we may be responsible for certain indemnity and completion obligations in the event the
joint venture fails to fulfill certain of its obligations and may be obligated to repay the entire
indebtedness upon certain bankruptcy events. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had
receivables of $42.2 million and $27.2 million, respectively, from these joint ventures, of which
$6.6 million and $1.0 million represent notes receivable, respectively.
In many instances, we are appointed as the day-to-day manager of the unconsolidated entities
and receive management fees for performing this function. We earned management fees from these
unconsolidated entities of $0.8 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively, and $9.0 million and $26.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These fees are included in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint
ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In the aggregate, these joint
ventures delivered 830 and 1,458 homes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
We evaluated the recoverability of our investments in and receivables from unconsolidated
joint ventures located in Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada and Baltimore, Maryland, under APB 18, and
recorded total impairments of $23.4 million and
$28.9 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Engle/Sunbelt Joint Venture
In December 2004, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Suntous Investors, LLC
(Suntous) to form Engle/Sunbelt Holdings, LLC (Engle/Sunbelt). Engle/Sunbelt was formed to
develop finished homesites and deliver homes in the Phoenix, Arizona market, and upon its
inception, the partnership acquired eight of our existing communities in Phoenix, Arizona. We and
Suntous contributed capital of approximately $28.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, to
Engle/Sunbelt and the joint venture itself
17
obtained financing arrangements with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $180.0 million, of
which $150.0 million related to a term loan and $30.0 million related to a revolving mezzanine
financing instrument.
In July 2005, we contributed assets to Engle/Sunbelt resulting in a net capital contribution
by us of $5.4 million. At that time, Engle/Sunbelt amended its financing arrangements to increase
the aggregate borrowing capacity to $280.0 million, of which $250.0 million related to a term loan
and $30.0 million related to a revolving mezzanine financing instrument. On April 30, 2007,
Engle/Sunbelt amended its $250.0 million term loan. The amendment reduced the aggregate commitment
of the lenders from $250.0 million to $200.0 million and extended the maturity date of the facility
to March 17, 2008. In addition, the amendment increased the minimum adjusted tangible net worth
covenant and reduced the minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. The borrowings by Engle/Sunbelt
are non-recourse to us; however, through our subsidiary Engle Homes Residential, LLC, we have
agreed to complete any property development commitments in the event Engle/Sunbelt defaults.
Additionally, we agreed to indemnify the lenders for potential losses resulting from fraud,
misappropriation and similar acts by Engle/Sunbelt.
Engle/Sunbelt is unable to borrow under its credit facilities due to certain events
with respect to us which are treated as a material adverse change. The joint venture is currently
engaged in negotiations with its lenders to obtain a waiver. As a result, we are likely to fund
critical cash needs to the extent permitted under our credit
agreements, and anticipate being repaid when the joint venture is again able to borrow.
In connection with the July 2005 contribution of assets to Engle/Sunbelt, we realized a gain
of $42.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Due to our continuing involvement with
these assets through our investment, for the year ended December 31, 2005 we deferred $36.3 million
of this gain. In March 2006, we assigned to Engle/Sunbelt our rights under a contract to purchase
approximately 539 acres of raw land. We received $18.7 million for the assignment of the purchase
contract and realized a gain of $15.8 million. Due to our continuing involvement with this
contract through our investment in the joint venture, we deferred $13.5 million of this gain. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we deferred an additional $5.1 million related to the
assignment of an option to purchase land. These deferrals are being recognized in the consolidated
statement of operations as homes are delivered by the joint venture.
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $23.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively,
continued to be deferred as a result of the contributed assets and contract assignments to
Engle/Sunbelt, and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated statements of financial condition. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007, $0.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of the deferred gain was recognized and included
in cost of sales-other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as compared to
$1.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006.
TOUSA / Kolter Joint Venture
In January 2005, we entered into a joint venture with Kolter Real Estate Group LLC to form
TOUSA/Kolter Holdings, LLC (TOUSA/Kolter) for the purpose of acquiring, developing and
selling approximately 1,900 homesites and commercial property in a master planned community in
South Florida. The joint venture obtained senior and senior subordinated term loans (the term
loans) of which $47.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, were outstanding as of September 30,
2007. We entered into a Performance and Completion Agreement in favor of the lenders under which
we agreed, among other things, to construct and complete the horizontal development of the lots and
commercial property and related infrastructure in accordance with certain agreed plans. The term
loans required, among other things, TOUSA/Kolter to have completed the development of certain lots
by January 7, 2007. Due to unforeseen and unanticipated delays in the entitlement process and
additional development requests by the county and water management district, TOUSA/Kolter was
unable to complete the development of these certain lots by the required deadline. On June 21,
2007, and in response to missing the development deadline, TOUSA/Kolter amended the existing term
loan agreements and we amended the Performance and Completion Agreement which remedied the
situation by extending the Performance and Completion Agreement development deadline to May 31,
2008. The amendment to the term loan agreements increased the interest rate on the senior term
loan by 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.25% and by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus 8.5% for the
senior subordinated term loan. As a condition to the amendment, we have agreed to be responsible
for the additional 150 basis points; accordingly, this will be paid by us and will be a cost of the
lots we acquire from TOUSA/Kolter. The amendment also required us to increase the existing letter
of credit by an additional $1.8 million for a total letter of credit deposit of $12.1 million and
place an additional $3.0 million cash deposit on the remaining lots under option which was used by
TOUSA/Kolter to pay down a portion of the senior term loan.
We evaluated the recoverability of our investment in and receivables from TOUSA/Kolter at
September 30, 2007 for impairment under APB 18, and recorded an
impairment of $16.9 million, which was offset by a deferred gain
of $12.8 million, resulting in a net charge to earnings of
$4.1 million.

Centex/ TOUSA at Wellington, LLC
In December 2005, we entered into a joint venture with Centex Corporation to form Centex/TOUSA
at Wellington, LLC (Centex/TOUSA at Wellington) for the purpose of acquiring, developing and
selling approximately 264 homesites in a community in South Florida. The joint venture obtained a
term loan of which $30.1 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The credit agreement
requires the joint venture to construct and complete the horizontal development of the lots and related
infrastructure in accordance with certain agreed plans. On August 31, 2007, Centex/TOUSA at
Wellington received a notice requiring the joint venture partners to contribute approximately $10.0
million to the joint venture to paydown the term loan in order to be in compliance with the 60%
loan-to-value ratio covenant. Neither us nor our joint venture partner have made the required equity contribution; however,
discussions with the lenders, joint venture partners and potential buyers are ongoing.
We evaluated the recoverability of our investment in and receivables from Centex/TOUSA at
Wellington at September 30, 2007 for impairment under APB 18, and recorded an impairment of $11.6
million based on our current negotiations with our joint venture partner, lenders and potential
third party buyers that would allow us to assign our equity ownership in return for a release of
all of our obligations. Additionally, as part of the negotiations, we have agreed to relinquish
title to certain homesites previously acquired in the amount of $14.7 million. Accordingly, we have
recorded an impairment of such amount at September 30, 2007 that is included in inventory
impairments and abandonment costs in the accompanying statement of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Layton Lakes Joint Venture
In connection with our joint venture with Lennar Corporation to develop, construct and sell
single family homes, townhome properties and commercial property in Arizona, we entered into a
Completion and Limited Indemnity Agreement for the benefit of the lender to the joint venture. The
agreement required us to maintain a tangible net worth of
$400.0 million. As a result of the decrease in our tangible net
worth, this covenant has been breached and the outstanding
$60.0 million loan to the joint venture is in default. If the
default is not cured within thirty days of notice, the lender, in its
discretion, may accelerate the loan, foreclose on its liens, and
exercise all other contractual remedies, including our completion
guaranty. In addition, the operating agreement of the joint venture
states that a breach by a member of any covenant of such member
contained in any loan agreement entered into in connection with the
financing of the property is an event of default. Under the operating
agreement, a defaulting member does not have the right to vote or
otherwise participate in the management of the joint venture until
the default is cured. A defaulting member can not take down any lots
from the joint venture. At September 30, 2007, our investment in the
Layton Lakes joint venture is $25.3 million.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we test goodwill for
impairment annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. For purposes
of the impairment test, we consider each homebuilding division a reporting unit.
During the second and third quarters, we
determined that the challenging housing market and the asset impairments taken in certain of our
homebuilding divisions were indicators of impairment. We performed interim goodwill impairment
tests as of June 30, 2007 and determined that the goodwill recorded in our Virginia ($6.5
million), Mid-Atlantic ($21.2 million), and Las Vegas
($10.5 million) divisions was impaired. We performed interim
impairment tests as of September 30, 2007 and determined that the
goodwill recorded in our Southwest Florida ($2.7 million)
division was impaired.
Accordingly, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $40.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007.

To effect the TE Acquisition, on July 31, 2007, we entered into the (i) $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility (the First Lien Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term loan facility (the Second Lien
Term Loan Facility), (First and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities taken together, the Facilities)
with Citicorp North America, Inc. as Administrative Agent. The proceeds from the credit facilities
were used to satisfy claims of the senior lenders against the Transeastern JV. Our existing $800.0
million revolving loan facility (the Revolving Loan Facility) was amended and
20
restated to (i) reduce the revolving commitments thereunder by $100.0 million and (ii) permit
the incurrence of the Facilities (and make other conforming changes relating to the Facilities).
Collectively, these transactions are referred to as the Financing. Net proceeds from the
Financing at closing were $470.6 million which is net of a 1% discount and transaction costs. The
Revolving Loan Facility expires on March 9, 2010. The First Lien Term Loan Facility expires on July
31, 2012 and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility expires on July 31, 2013.
On October 25, 2007, our Revolving Loan Facility was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Second
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. Among other things, the existing agreement was
amended with respect to (i) the pricing of loans, (ii) limiting the amounts which may be borrowed
prior to December 31, 2007 to $130.0 million, including draws under outstanding letters of credit,
(iii) modifying the definition of a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) waiving compliance with certain
representations and financial covenants, (v) establishing minimum operating cash flow requirements,
(vi) requiring compliance with weekly budgets, (vii) inclusion of a five week operating cash flow
covenant at the end of November, (viii) requiring the payment of certain fees, and (ix) reducing
the Lenders commitments by $50,000,000.
On October 25, 2007, the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement was also amended by Amendment
No. 1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement to amend certain terms including (i) the pricing
of loans, (ii) the definition of Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) waiving compliance with
certain financial covenants.
The interest rates on the Facilities and the Revolving Loan Facility are based on LIBOR plus a
margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin, at our option. For the Revolving Loan Facility,
the LIBOR rates are increased by between 2.50% and 5.25% depending on our leverage ratio (as
defined in the Agreement) and credit ratings. Loans bearing interest at the base rate (the rate
announced by Citibank as its base rate or 0.50% above the Federal Funds Rate) increase between
1.00% and 4.25% in accordance with the same criteria. Based on our current leverage ratio and
credit ratings, our LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.25% and our base rate loans bear
interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 4.25%. For the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the interest
rate is LIBOR plus 5.00% or base rate plus 4.00%. For the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, the
interest rate is LIBOR plus 7.25% or base rate plus 6.25%. The Second Lien Term Loan Facility
allows us to pay interest, at our option, (i) in cash, (ii) entirely by increasing the principal
amount of the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, or (iii) a combination thereof. The Facilities and
the New Revolving Loan Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries
(the Guarantors). The obligations are secured by substantially all of our assets, including those
of our Guarantors. Our mortgage and title subsidiaries are not Guarantors. The loans under the
Facilities may be prepaid at certain times (the Second Lien Term Loan Facility may not be prepaid
prior to its first anniversary), subject to certain premiums upon repayment. The Facilities and the
Revolving Loan Facility impose certain limitations on us, including with respect to: (i) dividends
on, redemptions and repurchases of, equity interests; (ii) prepayments of junior indebtedness,
redemptions and repurchases of debt; (iii) the incurrence of liens and sale-leaseback transactions;
(iv) loans and investments including joint ventures; and (v) incurrence of debt. The Facilities and
Revolving Loan Facility also contain events of default and have financial covenants, including but
not limited to the following covenants: (i) minimum adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; (ii)
maximum ratio of debt to adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; (iii) minimum ratio of EBITDA to
interest capitalized; (iv) maximum ratio of units owned to units closed; (v) maximum ratio of land
to adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; and (vi) maximum ratio of unsold units to units
closed. As noted above, on October 25, 2007, the Revolving Loan Facility and the First Lien Term
Loan Facility were amended to waive the financial covenants through December 31, 2007. The
Revolving Loan Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which includes a reserve for amounts
outstanding under the Facilities. The Second Lien Term Loan Facility contains a limitation on
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility and the Facilities based on a percentage of
inventory.
Interest
on the PIK Notes is payable semi-annually. The PIK Notes are unsecured senior
subordinated obligations of ours, and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by
each of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee our 7.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2015 (the Existing Notes). We are required to pay 1% of the interest in cash and the remaining
13.75%, at our option, (i) in cash, (ii) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the Notes
or issuing new notes, or (iii) a combination thereof. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2015. The
indenture governing the Notes contains the same covenants as contained in the indenture governing
the Existing Notes and is subject, in most cases, to any change to such covenants made to the
indenture governing the Existing Notes. The Notes are redeemable by us at redemption prices greater
than their principal amount. The PIK Notes contain an optional
redemption feature that allows us to redeem up to a maximum of 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes using the proceeds of subsequent sales of its
equity interest at 114.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes then outstanding,
plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, after July 1,
2012, subject to certain terms of our other debt agreements, we may redeem the PIK Notes at a premium to the
principal amount as follows: 2012-107.375%; 2013-103.688%; 2014 and thereafter-100.000%. The call
options exercisable at anytime after July 1, 2012 at a premium do not require bifurcation under
SFAS 133 because they are only exercisable by us and they are not contingently
exercisable. The redemption option conditionally exercisable based on the proceeds raised from an
equity offering at 114.75% of up to 35% of the aggregate outstanding PIK Note principal
represents an embedded call option that must be bifurcated from the PIK Notes; however, the fair
value of this call option is not material and has not been bifurcated
from the host instrument at September 30, 2007.
The PIK Notes provide for registration rights for the holders whereby the interest rate shall
increase by 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days of a registration default, as defined, which
amount shall increase by an additional 0.25% every 90 days a registration default is continuing,
not to exceed 1.0% in the aggregate, from and including the date of the registration default to and
excluding the date on which the registration default is cured. Registration default payments shall
be paid, at our option, in (i) cash, (ii) additional Notes, or (iii) a combination
thereof. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we have not incurred additional
interest expense as a result of such default.
We have been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that our stock is below the minimum
average trading price required for continued listing. We may receive additional notices of
non-compliance with certain other standards including market capitalization shortly. If our shares
are delisted from the NYSE, this will constitute a change of control under our credit agreements,
which is an event of default. The lenders may terminate our right to borrow and declare the loans
to be due and payable. We are currently in discussions with our lenders to obtain a waiver for this
event of default. No assurances can be made that a waiver will be obtained.
While the amendments provide us with temporary relief from certain credit agreement covenants,
we face many challenges including, among other things, our current level of indebtedness, which
challenge has become much further intensified based on
21
market conditions that have become materially worse for all homebuilders since late July 2007.
In connection therewith, and as noted above, we are pursuing a number of initiatives including
asset sales, the wind down of divisions, abandoning our rights under option contracts that no
longer provide acceptable returns based on changing conditions, further reductions in selling,
general and administrative expenses and are considering all available restructuring and
reorganization alternatives and processes including, among other things, restructuring our capital
structure including attempting to exchange some or all of our outstanding indebtedness for equity.
We may not be successful in achieving these alternatives and the alternatives, if achieved, may not
be successful. See further discussion in Note 1.
Our indentures also limit our ability to incur new indebtedness. Any new borrowings (other
than certain refinancing indebtedness) are limited to
$415.7 million.
As of September 30, 2007, we had $150.3 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility,
had issued letters of credit totaling $213.9 million and had $130.0 million in availability, all of
which we could have borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants considering the amendment
to these covenants made on October 25, 2007. In order to fund our future operations we may have to
draw additional amounts under our Revolving Loan Facility. Such amounts may not be available to us
if we are unable to satisfy our covenants and may be further restricted based on the fact that our
October 25, 2007 amendments extend only to December 31, 2007. Therefore, if we are not able to
successfully renegotiate new acceptable terms or refinance our current borrowings, we will be in
default.
On April 12, 2006, we issued $250.0 million of the 8-1/4% senior notes due 2011 for net
proceeds of $248.8 million. In connection with the issuance of the 8 1/4 % senior notes, we filed
within 90 days of the issuance a registration statement with the SEC covering a registered offer to
exchange the notes for exchange notes of ours having terms substantially identical in all material
respects to the notes (except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to
special interest or transfer restrictions). The registration statement has not been declared
effective within the required 180 days of issuance and, as a result, on October 9, 2006, in
accordance with their terms, the notes became subject to special interest which accrues at a rate
of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such default,
and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per
annum. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred $1.8 million of additional
interest expense as a result of such default.
Our outstanding senior notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, which are all of our material domestic subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and
title subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Our outstanding senior subordinated notes are
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The senior notes
rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt and
senior in right of payment to our senior subordinated notes and any future subordinated debt. The
senior subordinated notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future
unsecured senior subordinated debt. The indentures governing the senior notes and senior
subordinated notes generally require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and place
certain restrictions on our ability, among other things, to incur additional debt, pay or declare
dividends or other restricted payments, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates,
invest in joint ventures above specified amounts, and merge or consolidate with other entities.
Interest on our outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually.
Financial Services Borrowings
Our mortgage subsidiary has two warehouse lines of credit in place to fund the origination of
residential mortgage loans. The primary revolving warehouse line of credit (the Primary Warehouse
Line of Credit), which was amended on December 9, 2006, provides for revolving loans of up to
$100.0 million. The Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, expires on December 8, 2007. The
Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus a margin
of 1.0% to 3.0%, except for certain specialty mortgage loans, determined based upon the type of
mortgage loans being financed. The Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, also places
certain restrictions on, among other things, our mortgage subsidiarys ability to incur additional
debt, create liens, pay or declare dividends or other restricted payments, make equity investments,
enter into transactions with affiliates, and merge or consolidate with other entities.
On August 7, 2007, we amended our mortgage subsidiarys other $50.0 million warehouse line of
credit to reduce the size of the facility to $35.0 million (the Secondary Warehouse Line of
Credit). The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit is comprised of (1) a credit facility providing
for revolving loans of up to $20.0 million, subject to meeting borrowing base requirements based on
the value of collateral provided, and (2) a mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement which
provides for the purchase by the lender of up to $15.0 million in mortgage loans generated by our
mortgage subsidiary. On September 18, 2007 the purchase and sale agreement was expanded from $15.0
million to $30.0 million. At no time may the amount outstanding under this Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit, plus the amount of purchased loans pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement
exceed $50.0 million. The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR
rate plus a margin of 1.125%. The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit expires on August 8, 2008.
22
As a result of the Company breaching certain covenants in its Second Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement and First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2007, an
event of default occurred under the $20.0 million credit facility within the Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit. Although an amendment dated October 25, 2007 waived the default, the lender has no
obligation to make any loans through the waiver period which ends December 31, 2007.
Both lines of credit are secured by funded mortgages, which are pledged as collateral, and
require our mortgage subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios and minimums. At September 30,
2007, we had $13.1 million in borrowings under our Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, with the
capacity to borrow an additional $86.9 million, subject to satisfying the relevant borrowing
conditions. At September 30, 2007, we had $9.3 million in borrowings under our Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit. In accordance with the waiver obtained, we currently have no borrowings outstanding
under the Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit.
10. Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109) as interpreted by FIN 48. Under SFAS 109, income taxes are accounted for using the
asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the
anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. FIN 48, which became effective for us on January 1, 2007,
prescribed the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the
financial statements and provided guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and transition. FIN 48 also requires expanded
disclosure with respect to uncertainty in income taxes.
As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $1.3 million increase in our
liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction of retained
earnings at January 1, 2007. After giving effect to the adjustment above, we recorded a $5.1
million liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007, which includes interest and
penalties of $0.4 million. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is included as an offset to
the income taxes receivable which is included in other assets in the accompanying statement of
financial condition as of September 30, 2007. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related
to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for tax expense. Total unrecognized tax benefits
that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $5.6 million, including interest and
penalties at September 30, 2007.
Our policy for interest and penalties under FIN 48 related to income tax exposures was not
impacted as a result of the adoption and measurement provisions of FIN 48. We continue to recognize
interest and penalties as capitalized within the provision for income taxes in our consolidated
statements of operations. We have recorded a liability of $0.9 million and $0.4 million for
interest and penalties, which is included as a component of the liabilities for unrecognized tax
benefits at September 30, 2007 and January 1, 2007, respectively. To the extent interest and
penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced
and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax in multiple state
jurisdictions. We have effectively closed all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through
2002. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our consolidated tax return for fiscal
year 2004. Management believes that the tax liabilities recorded are adequate. However, a
significant assessment in excess of liabilities recorded against us
23
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
As of September 30, 2007, we have gross deferred tax assets of $320.1 million, resulting
primarily from deductible temporary differences. At September 30, 2007, we have provided for a
valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets of $320.1 million as compared to $42.1 million at
December 31, 2006. The valuation allowance has been established and maintained for deferred tax
assets on a more likely than not threshold. We have considered the following possible sources of
taxable income when assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets: (i) future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences; (ii) taxable income in prior carryback years; (iii) tax
planning strategies; and (iv) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences
and carryforwards.
Since all of the taxable income in the prior carryback years is anticipated to be offset by
2007 operating losses, the first source of taxable income listed above is not available to support
the recognition of our deferred tax assets. Additionally, due to our cumulative losses in recent
years, we have not relied upon future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences
and carryforwards for the realization of any of our deferred tax assets. Reliance on future taxable
income as a source is difficult when there is negative evidence such as in our situation where we
have cumulative losses. Cumulative losses weigh heavily in our overall assessment. We determine
cumulative losses on a rolling twelve-quarter basis. Income forecasts were considered in
conjunction with other positive and negative evidence, including our current financial performance,
the financial impact of the Transeastern JV settlement, our market environment and other factors.
As a result, the conclusion was made that there was not sufficient positive evidence to enable us
to conclude that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized.
Therefore, we have provided a valuation allowance on the entire amount of our net deferred tax
assets. This assessment will continue to be undertaken in the future.
Our results of operations may be impacted in the future by our inability to realize a tax
benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax assets. Our
results of operations might be favorably impacted in the future by reversals of valuation
allowances if we are able to demonstrate sufficient positive evidence that our deferred tax assets
will be realized. However, there could be restrictions on the amount of the carryforwards that can
be utilized if certain changes in our ownership should occur which likely would significantly limit
potential future benefit, even if we could demonstrate sufficient positive evidence that our
deferred taxes could otherwise be realized.
Primarily as a result of the change in our valuation allowance during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the effective tax rate applied to our losses for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 is significantly below the federal statutory rate of 35%.
We anticipate receiving refunds of previously paid income taxes for 2005 and 2006 through the
carryback of its taxable loss. From 2007, refunds of both federal and state income taxes as the
result of recently filed returns for 2006 and refunds of 2007 estimated taxes totaling
approximately $240.2 million. This amount, offset by the $5.6 million liability for unrecognized
tax benefits discussed above is reflected in other assets in the accompanying statement of
financial condition at September 30, 2007.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters are not expected
to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Warranty
We provide homebuyers with a limited warranty of workmanship and materials from the date of
sale for up to two years. We generally have recourse against our subcontractors for claims relating
to workmanship and materials. We also provide up to a ten-year homeowners warranty which covers
major structural and design defects related to homes sold by us during the policy period, subject
to a significant self-insured retention per occurrence. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at
the time of sale based on historical experience and current factor. Warranty costs are included in
accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the activity in our warranty cost
accrual consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
We are subject to the normal obligations associated with entering into contracts for the
purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. We are
committed under various letters of credit and performance bonds which are required for certain
development activities, deposits on land and deposits on homesite purchase contracts. Under these
arrangements, we had total outstanding letters of credit of $213.9 million. As a result of
abandoning our rights under option contracts, as of
September 30, 2007, we accrued $99.7 million
for letters of credits which we anticipated would be drawn due to nonperformance under such
contracts. Of this amount, $91.2 million of letters of credit have been drawn and have increased
our borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Loan Facility.
At September 30, 2007, we have total outstanding performance / surety bonds of $233.5 million
and have estimated our exposure on our outstanding surety bonds to be $151.5 million based on
development remaining to be completed. We have been experiencing a reduction in availability of
security bond capacity. In addition to increasing cost of surety bond
premiums there have been, and may continue to be, some
cases
24
where we
have to obtain a letter of credit or provide other collateral to secure
necessary surety bonds. If we are unable to secure such bonds, we may elect to post alternative forms of
collateral with government entities or escrow agents.
Exposure on Abandoned Homesite Option Contracts
As of September 30, 2007, we have abandoned our rights under option contracts that require us
to complete the development of land for a fixed reimbursable amount. At September 30, 2007, we
recorded a loss accrual of $22.7 million, in connection with the abandonment of these option
contracts, for our estimated obligations under the development agreements. This accrual is included
in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
condition at September 30, 2007.
In addition, certain of these option contracts give the other party the right to require us to
purchase homesites or guarantee certain minimum returns. As of September 30, 2007, we have
abandoned our rights under option contracts that give the other party the right to require us to
purchase the homesites. On some of these option contracts, we have received notices in which the
other party is exercising their right to require us to purchase the homesites under this provision
of the option contracts. We do not have the ability to comply with these notices due to liquidity
constraints. These option contracts were previously consolidated and the inventory was included in
inventory not owned and the corresponding liability was included in obligations for inventory not
owned. As we do not have the intent or the ability to comply with the requirement to purchase the
property, we have deconsolidated these option contracts at September 30, 2007. Capitalized
pre-acquisition costs associated with these option contracts are
impaired and $33.3 million was
written off during the three months ended September 30, 2007. In addition, at September 30, 2007,
we recorded a loss accrual of $12.6 million, in connection with the abandonment of these option
contracts, for our estimated obligations under these option
contracts and $19.3 million for letters of credit which
we anticipated would be drawn due to nonperformance under such
contracts.
Class Action Lawsuit
Beginning In December 2006, various stockholder plaintiffs brought lawsuits seeking class
action status in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. At a hearing held
March 29, 2007, the Court consolidated the actions and heard arguments on the appointment of lead
plaintiff and counsel. On September 7, 2007, the Court appointed Diamondback Capital Management,
L.L.C. as the lead plaintiff and approved Diamondbacks selection of counsel. Pursuant to a
scheduling order, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Complaint on November 2, 2007. The
Consolidated Complaint names us, all of our directors, David Keller, Randy Kotler, Beatriz Koltis,
Lonnie Fedrick, Technical Olympic, S.A., UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and JMP Securities LLC as defendants. The alleged class period is
August 1, 2005 to March 19, 2007. The plaintiffs allege that our public filings and other public
statements that described the financing for the Transeastern Joint Venture as non-recourse to us
were false and misleading. Plaintiffs also allege that certain public filings and statements were
misleading or suffered from material omissions in failing to fully disclose or describe the
Completion and Carve-Out Guaranties that we executed in support of the Transeastern JV financing.
Plaintiffs assert claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act against all defendants other than
Ms. Koltis for strict liability and negligence regarding the registration statements and prospectus
associated with the September 2005 offering of 4 million shares of stock. As explained above,
plaintiffs contend that the registration statements and prospectus contained material
misrepresentations and suffered from material omissions in the description of the Transeastern JV
financing and our related obligations. Plaintiffs assert related claims against Technical Olympic,
S.A. and Messrs. K. Stengos, Mon, Keller and McAden as controlling persons responsible for the
statements in the registration statements and prospectus. Plaintiffs also allege claims under
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act for fraud with respect to various public statements about the
non-recourse nature of the Transeastern debt and alleged omissions in disclosing or describing the
Guaranties. These claims are alleged against us, Messrs. Mon, McAden, Keller and Kotler and Ms.
Koltis. Finally, plaintiffs assert related claims against Messrs. Mon, Keller, Kotler and McAden
as controlling persons responsible for the various alleged false disclosures. Plaintiffs seek
compensatory damages, plus fees and costs, on behalf of themselves and the putative class of
purchasers of our common stock and purchasers and sellers of options on our common stock. Our
response to the Consolidated Complaint is due on January 2, 2008. No trial date has been set in
these consolidated actions.
Bondholders
On October 26, 2007, our Board of Directors received a letter from counsel to a group of
holders of our senior and subordinated notes (the Noteholder Group). The Noteholder Group claimed
that we had transferred approximately $422.9 million to lenders to the Transeastern JV on July 31,
2007. The Noteholder Group argued that the transfer may be avoidable under section 547 of the
Bankruptcy Code if we filed for bankruptcy protection on or before October 29, 2007. The Noteholder
Group urged that our Board of Directors take all steps necessary to preserve the section 547 claim,
including directing that we file for bankruptcy on or before October 29, 2007. The Noteholder Group
reserved its rights to file claims for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding breach of fiduciary duty
if we did not file for bankruptcy in time to preserve the Section 547 claim. We did not file for
bankruptcy protection as requested by the Noteholder Group.
12. Stockholders Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Under the TOUSA, Inc. Annual and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) employees, consultants
and directors of ours, our subsidiaries and affiliated entities, (as defined in the Plan), are
eligible to receive options to purchase shares of common stock. Each stock option expires on a date
determined when the options are granted, but not more than ten years after the date of grant. Stock
options granted have a vesting period ranging from immediate vesting to a graded vesting over five
years. Under the Plan, subject to adjustment as defined, the maximum number of shares with respect
to which awards may be granted is 8,250,000. At September 30, 2007, there were 169,359 shares
available for grant.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of the 2004-revised SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the
modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense
recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included: (a) compensation
25
expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006,
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS
123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006,
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Additionally, in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R we recognized a cumulative change in
accounting principle of $2.0 million, net of tax, related to certain common stock purchase rights
that were accounted for under the variable accounting method. The cumulative effect of the change
in accounting principle of $3.2 million, gross of tax, was not material and therefore was included
in selling, general and administrative expenses with the related tax effect of $1.2 million
included in the provision for income taxes rather than displayed separately as a cumulative change
in accounting principle in the consolidated statement of operations. The adoption of SFAS 123R
resulted in a charge of $10.7 million and $6.8 million to income from continuing operations before
income taxes and net income, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The impact
of adopting SFAS 123R on both basic and diluted earnings was $0.11 per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized compensation expense
related to stock options of $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Activity under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was as follows:

related to unvested stock option awards.
Convertible PIK Preferred Stock
The
Preferred Stock ranks senior to all of our capital stock with respect to liquidation,
dividends and has an initial aggregate liquidation preference of $117.5 million and accrues
dividends semi-annually at 8% per annum as follows: (i) 1% payable in cash; (ii) the remaining 7%
payable, at our option, in cash, additional Preferred Stock, or a
combination thereof at our option. The
Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on July 1, 2015 in, at our option, cash, Common Stock or
a combination thereof. The Preferred Stock is convertible into our Common Stock, at a conversion
price which initially equals the 20-trading day average Common Stock closing price commencing 60
days immediately after the closing of the settlement (the Measurement Period) multiplied by 1.40.
The Measurement Period has ended and the resulting conversion price is $1.61 per share. As a
result, if all of the holders of the Preferred Stock exercised the conversion feature, the Company
would have to issue approximately 73.0 million shares of its Common Stock. The conversion price
of the Preferred Stock will be adjusted for certain anti-dilution events including below market
price or below the conversion price issuances by us of our Common Stock, subject to certain
exceptions. We believe the Preferred Stock conversion feature is substantive.
Since the redemption of the Preferred Stock is contingently or optionally redeemable and
therefore not certain to occur and the conversion feature is substantive, the Preferred Stock is
not required to be classified as a liability under SFAS 150. The Preferred Stock is redeemable in
cash solely at the Companys option, except in normal
liquidation. Holders can not require the Company to settle the
instrument, including accrued and unpaid dividends, in cash. As there are no situations
whereby this option is outside of the Companys control, the Preferred Stock meets
the requirements of permanent equity classification pursuant to ASR 268. While the Preferred Stock
is redeemable for cash, redemption is not (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or
determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is
not solely within our control. We believe that cash would only be required to be paid to the
Preferred Stock in a liquidation event and, therefore, the criteria for permanent equity
classification pursuant to EITF Topic D-98 have been met. In addition, based on analyses of the
requirements of paragraphs 12 through 32 of EITF 00-19, the settlement of the conversion and
redemption features in shares are within the Companys control. Therefore, the Preferred Stock has
been classified as a component of stockholders equity. Further,
no other embedded derivatives require bifurcation from the Preferred
Stock under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19.
As of September 30, 2007, the Preferred Stock redemption amount includes amounts representing
dividends not currently declared or paid but which will be payable under the redemption features.
The Preferred Stock is currently redeemable because redemption of the instrument, absent the
existence of the share settled conversion option, is certain to occur at maturity. As of
26
September 30,
2007, $0.6 million of the redemption amount was accreted to the Preferred Stock
and recognized as a reduction to additional paid in capital, consistent with EITF Topic D-98.
The Preferred Stock contains a contingent dividend feature, which provides for an increase in
the dividend rate of 0.25% during the period in which the Company fails to register the underlying
common stock. This increase in the dividend rate becomes effective after 270 days. The contingent
dividend feature constitutes an obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer
consideration under a registration payment arrangement. In accordance with FSP EITF 00-19-2, the
contingent dividend feature should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS 5.
As of September 30, 2007, there was no amount accrued for the Companys obligation under the
registration payment arrangement.
In accordance with EITF 98-5, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature
required measurement at the commitment date by comparing the Companys stock price at date of
closing to the conversion price, as defined, which is determinable at the end of the 20 trading days commencing
60 calendar days after closing. In accordance with EITF 00-27, $84.0 million, representing the
intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (which is
limited to the fair value of the instrument), is amortized from additional-paid in capital
to Preferred Stock from October 26, 2007 to July 1, 2015. The value attributable to the beneficial
conversion feature will be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to
additional paid-in-capital and a discount to the Preferred Stock.
Dividends
of and amortization of the discount on the Preferred Stock are
recorded as charges to retained earnings or additional paid in
capital, if no retained earnings, and reduce net income in the
determination of income available to shareholders for the purposes of computing basic and diluted
earnings per share.
Also,
because the Preferred Stock allows the Company to chose whether
dividends are paid in kind or in cash, consitent with EITF 00-27, we will determine and, if required, measure a beneficial conversion feature based on the fair
value of its stock price on the date dividends are declared on the Convertible Preferred shares and
will be recognized as a reduction to retained earnings and the convertible preferred shares newly
issued if the fair value of the stock on the declaration date is below the contractual conversion
price. The discount on the Convertible Preferred shares issued as PIK dividends will then be
accreted through the contractual maturity of the instrument.
The Preferred Stock is not a participating security, as defined in SFAS 128 and EITF 03-6,
and, therefore, does not require the two-class method of calculating EPS. The Preferred Stock
provides for the adjustment to the conversion price for common stock dividends declared. The
Preferred Stock have not been included in diluted EPS at September
30, 2007 as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Warrants
The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years from the date of issuance. The warrants
had an estimated fair value of $16.3 million at issuance (based on the Black-Scholes option pricing
model and certain agreed upon inputs). The warrants were issued in two tranches with exercise
prices based on the Measurement Period multiplied by 1.25 or 1.50, respectively. The
Measurement Period has ended. As a result, the warrants are exercisable as follows (i) 5,045,662
shares of Common Stock can be purchased at $5.31 per share, and (ii) 5,045,662 shares of Common
Stock can be purchased at $6.38 per share. The exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted for
certain anti-dilution events including below market price or below the conversion price issuances
by the Company of its Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions. Upon exercise of the warrants by
the holders thereof, we may, in our sole discretion, satisfy our obligations under any warrant
being exercised by: (i) paying the holder the value of the Common Stock to be delivered in cash
less the exercise price; (ii) paying such amount in Common Stock rather than cash; (iii) delivering
shares of Common Stock upon receiving the cash exercise price therefore; or (iv) any combination of
the foregoing.
The Charter Amendment
In connection with the closing of the Transeastern JV settlement, we increased the authorized
shares of Common Stock in our Certificate of Incorporation to 975,000,000 to provide sufficient
shares for, among other things, the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon
full exercise of the warrants and full conversion of shares of the Preferred Stock. We currently
have approximately 60 million shares of Common Stock outstanding. We made the amendment pursuant to
the written consent of our controlling stockholder, which was effective on July 30, 2007.
13. Operating and Reportable Segments
Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments in accordance with SFAS No.
131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, based primarily upon
similar economic characteristics, product type, geographic areas, and information used by the chief
operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Our reportable segments
consist of our four major Homebuilding geographic regions (Florida,
Mid-Atlantic, Texas and the West)
and our Financial Services operations.
Through our four homebuilding regions, we design, build and market detached single-family
residences, town homes and condominiums in various metropolitan markets in ten states, located as
follows:
27
Florida: Central Florida, Jacksonville, Southeast Florida, Southwest Florida, Tampa/St. Petersburg
Mid-Atlantic: Baltimore/Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Nashville, Northern Virginia
Texas: Austin, Houston, San Antonio
West: Colorado, Las Vegas, Phoenix
Evaluation of segment performance is based on the segments results of operations without
consideration of income taxes. Results of operations for our four homebuilding segments consist of
revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint
ventures, and other income/expense less the cost of homes and land sold and selling, general and
administrative expenses. The results of operations for our Financial Services segment consists of
revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and other ancillary services less the
cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses.
28
The operational results of each of our segments are not necessarily indicative of the results
that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the
periods presented. Financial information relating to our operations, presented by segment, was as

The Texas region excludes the Dallas division, which is classified as a discontinued operation. |
14. Discontinued Operations
On June 6, 2007, we sold substantially all of our Dallas division to Wall Homes Texas LLC for
$56.5 million and realized a pre-tax loss on disposal of $13.6 million. Certain communities were
not part of the sale. We are actively marketing these communities for sale and it is our intention
to exit these communities within a year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we determined that the pending sale of our
Dallas division at a price below the carrying value was an indicator of impairment. We performed
an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2007 and, at that time, determined that the
goodwill recorded in our Dallas division was impaired; accordingly, we wrote off $3.1 million of
goodwill which is included in loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2007.
In accordance with SFAS 144, results of our Dallas division have been classified as
discontinued operations, and prior periods have been restated to be consistent with the September
30, 2007, presentation. Discontinued operations include Dallas division revenues of $1.1 million
and $34.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $44.7
million and $104.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
Dallas division had a net loss of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the Dallas division had a net
loss of $17.6 million (including an
$8.6 million after-tax loss on disposal) as compared to net income of $1.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006.
Included in the net loss of the Dallas division for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007 are $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of inventory impairments.
Assets held for sale, as shown on the consolidated statements of financial condition, consist
primarily of $10.1 million and $124.8 million of inventory at September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively.

15. Summarized Financial Information
Our outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are all of the
Companys material direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and title operations
subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is directly or
indirectly 100% owned by the Company. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements
for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, consolidated condensed financial statements are presented below.
Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not
presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this report.
As used in this Form 10-Q, consolidated information refers only to information relating to
our continuing operations which are consolidated in our financial statements and exclude the
results of our Dallas division which we have classified as a discontinued operation; and combined
information includes consolidated information and information relating to our unconsolidated joint
ventures. Unless otherwise noted, the information contained herein is shown on a consolidated
basis.
On July 31, 2007, we consummated transactions to settle the disputes regarding the
Transeastern Joint Venture (the Transeastern JV) with the lenders to the Transeastern JV, its
land bankers and our joint venture partner in the Transeastern JV. Pursuant to the settlement,
among other things, the Transeastern JV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours by merger into one
of our subsidiaries. The acquisition of the Transeastern JV (the TE Acquisition) is being
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the
Transeastern JV have been included in our consolidated results beginning on July 31, 2007. See
Recent Developments for a full description of the TE Acquisition.
Executive Summary
We generate revenues from our homebuilding operations (Homebuilding) and financial services
operations (Financial Services), which comprise our two principal business segments. Through our
Homebuilding operations, we design, build and market high-quality, detached single-family
residences, town homes and condominiums in various metropolitan markets in ten states located in
four major geographic regions which are also our reportable segments: Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Texas
and the West.

We conduct our Homebuilding operations through our consolidated subsidiaries and through
various unconsolidated joint ventures that additionally build and market homes.
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were
adversely affected due to worsening market conditions impacting the new home industry. Conditions
in all of our markets weakened due to a number of factors including: recent severe liquidity
challenges in the credit and mortgage markets, diminished consumer confidence, increased home
inventories and foreclosures, and downward pressure on home prices. For the three months ended
September 30, 2007, we had a net loss of $619.7 million compared to a net loss of $80.0 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a
net loss of $817.7 million compared to net income of $42.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
In
response to the worsening market conditions in the third quarter, we exercised our right to
abandon a number of homesite option contracts. Additionally, we reviewed our inventories, goodwill,
investments in joint ventures and other assets for possible impairment charges. Included in the
net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, are $571.6 million
and $203.9 million of inventory impairments, abandonment costs,
joint venture impairments,
goodwill impairments and the provision for settlement of loss
contingency. Included in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively, are $854.4 million and $211.5 million of inventory impairments, abandonment
costs, joint venture impairments, goodwill impairments and the
provision for settlement of loss contingency.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, Homebuilding deliveries decreased 18%,
Homebuilding revenues decreased 15%, and net sales orders decreased 33% as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Homebuilding
deliveries decreased 10%, Homebuilding revenues decreased 9%, and net sales orders decreased 17%
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30,
2007, our unconsolidated joint ventures had a decrease in deliveries of 73% and a decrease in net
sales orders of 22% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, our unconsolidated joint ventures had a decrease in deliveries of 49% and
a decrease in net sales orders of 14% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our
joint ventures experienced a more significant decline in deliveries and net sales orders than our
consolidated operations as our largest homebuilding joint ventures are located in Las
Vegas and Phoenix which have experienced significant market deterioration.
39
Our Homebuilding results reflect the continued significant deterioration of conditions in most
of our markets characterized by record levels of new and existing homes available for sale, reduced
affordability of housing, tighter mortgage loan underwriting criteria, the significant disruption
experienced by the mortgage markets which led to reduced investor demand for mortgage loans.
Potential buyers have exhibited both a reduction in confidence as to the economy in general and a
willingness to delay purchase decisions based on a perception that prices will continue to decline.
Prospective homebuyers continue to be concerned about interest rates and their inability to sell
their current homes or to obtain appraisals at sufficient amounts to secure mortgage financing as a
result of the recent disruption in the mortgage markets and the tightening of credit standards.
The deterioration in the housing market has led to increased sales incentives, higher
cancellation rates, increased advertising expenditures and broker commissions, and increased
pressure on margins resulting from the oversupply of homes available for sale and competition among
homebuilders. We expect our gross margin on home sales to continue to be negatively impacted due to
pricing pressures, competition, increased sales incentives and a product mix shift to markets with
historically lower margins.
We are responding to this situation by taking actions to maximize cash receipts and minimize
cash expenditures with the understanding that certain of these actions may make us less able to
take advantage of future improvements in the homebuilding market. As
part of these initiatives, we continue to take steps to reduce our general and administrative costs and operations to increase
efficiencies by reducing costs and streamlining our activities
including further reductions in workforce at all levels and
elimination of certain consulting arrangements and indirect costs. However, some of our efforts on
reducing general and administrative expenses are being offset by professional and consulting fees
associated with the settlement of the Transeastern JV and our current restructuring efforts. In
addition, we are working with our suppliers and seeking new suppliers, through competitive bid
processes, to reduce construction material and labor costs. We are analyzing each community based
on profit and sales absorption goals that include current market factors in the homebuilding
industry such as the oversupply of homes available for sale in most of our markets, less demand,
decreased consumer confidence, tighter mortgage loan underwriting criteria and higher foreclosures.
We continue to review the size, geographic allocations and components of our inventory to better
align these assets with estimated future deliveries. We have established inventory targets based on
current market conditions, existing inventory levels and our historical and projected results. If
our inventory exceeds these targeted levels, which is currently the case, we are and will continue
to take necessary actions to reduce our inventory level to these targeted levels. These actions
include, to the extent possible:
|
|
|
limiting new arrangements to acquire land; |
|
|
|
|
engaging in bulk sales of land and unsold homes; |
|
|
|
|
reducing the number of homes under construction and limiting development activities; |
|
|
|
|
re-negotiating terms or abandoning our rights under option contracts; |
|
|
|
|
considering other asset dispositions including the possible sale of underperforming
assets, communities, divisions and joint venture interests (see Recent Developments
regarding the June 2007 sale of our Dallas division and the September 2007 bulk sale of
homesites in our Mid-Atlantic and Virginia divisions); |
|
|
|
|
further reducing inventory target levels; and |
|
|
|
|
other initiatives designed to monetize our assets, including our deferred tax assets. |
As a result of worsening market conditions since late July and our liquidity constraints since
late September, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we have abandoned our rights
under certain option agreements which have resulted in a 9,400 unit decline in our controlled
homesites. In connection with the abandonment of our rights under these option contracts, we
forfeited cash deposits of $166.9 million and had letters of
credit of $91.2 million drawn,
subsequent to September 30, 3007, which increased our outstanding borrowings. As challenging market
conditions continue, we expect to continue to reduce inventory in an attempt to align our inventory
levels to housing demand and operate within our liquidity constraints. We cannot assure you these
actions or future actions will be sufficient to allow us to become profitable or continue our
operations.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding costs of professionals retained in
connection with the development of a long term business plan and evaluation of restructuring
options, have decreased 9.6% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This reduction has
been driven principally by a reduction in the number of our
associates from 2,420 as of December
31, 2006 to 2,097 at June 30, 2007 and 1,763 at September 30, 2007. The difficult home market has
resulted in a need to carefully review marketing expenses as the need to attract buyers must be
balanced with the goal of reducing expenditures. However, our expenses in this area have decreased
by 10.1% for the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We expect that our
professional and consulting fees will increase in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the
professionals retained in connection with the evaluation of our restructuring options.
The additional borrowings arising from the settlement of the Transeastern JV disputes and the
continuing deterioration of the housing market has had, and is likely to continue to have for an
extended period of time, a negative impact on our liquidity and our
40
ability to
comply with financial and other covenants under our bank loans and
indentures. We are also considering a number of alternatives
including whether a restructuring needs to be completed under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy code. All
of these factors, and others which may arise in the future, may adversely impact our financial
condition. Refer to our discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources for further information
concerning our borrowings and covenant compliance.
The reduction in our staff, combined with the challenges of implementing these initiatives,
has placed increased burdens on our remaining associates. We have retained consultants and are in
the process of developing and then implementing a structure to retain and incentivize the
associates who will be integral to our ability to successfully restructure our balance sheet.
Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have
$1.7 billion in borrowings, have experienced significant losses for the year ended December 31,
2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and continue to generate negative cash flows
from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
we incurred a net loss of $817.7
million and had stockholders equity of $48.3 million, which was a significant decrease when
compared to $774.9 million at December 31, 2006. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our
ability to restructure our capital structure including our attempt to exchange a large portion of
our outstanding indebtedness for equity. Failure to restructure our
capital structure would result in, among other things, depleting our available funds and not being
able to pay our obligations when they become due, as well as possible defaults under our debt
obligations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets.
We have asked our bondholders to organize as a group in
order to discuss such restructuring and reorganization alternatives.
On October 26, 2007, our Board of Directors received a letter
from counsel to this group (the Noteholder Group). The Noteholder Group claimed
that we had transferred approximately $422.9 million to lenders to the Transeastern JV on July 31,
2007. The Noteholder Group argued that the transfer may be avoidable under section 547 of the
Bankruptcy Code if we filed for bankruptcy protection on or before October 29, 2007. The Noteholder
Group urged that our Board of Directors take all steps necessary to preserve the section 547 claim,
including directing that we file for bankruptcy on or before October 29, 2007. The Noteholder Group
reserved its rights to file claims for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding breach of fiduciary duty
if we did not file for bankruptcy in time to preserve the Section 547 claim. We did not file for
bankruptcy protection as requested by the Noteholder Group.
Recent Developments
Transeastern JV Settlement
On July 31, 2007, we consummated transactions to settle the disputes regarding the
Transeastern JV with the lenders to the joint venture, its land bankers and our joint venture
partner in the Transeastern JV. Pursuant to the settlement, among other things, (i) the
Transeastern JV became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours by merger into one of our subsidiaries and
became a guarantor on our credit facilities and note indentures, (ii) the senior secured lenders of
the Transeastern JV were repaid in full, including accrued interest, and (iii) the junior and
senior mezzanine lenders received our securities in satisfaction of the obligations of the
Transeastern JV. In connection with the settlement, we entered into Settlement and Release
Agreements with the senior mezzanine lenders (the Senior Mezzanine Lenders) and the junior
mezzanine lenders (the Junior Mezzanine Lenders) to the Transeastern JV (collectively, the Mezz
Settlement Agreements) which released us from potential obligations to them. The TE Acquisition is
being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
To effect the TE Acquisition, on July 31, 2007, we entered into a (i) new $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility (the First Lien Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) a new $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term loan facility (the Second
Lien Term Loan Facility), (First and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities taken together, the
Facilities) with Citicorp North America, Inc. as Administrative Agent. The proceeds from the
credit facilities were used to satisfy claims of the senior lenders against the Transeastern JV.
Our existing $800.0 million revolving loan facility (the Revolving Loan Facility) was amended and
restated to (i) reduce the revolving commitments thereunder by $100.0 million and (ii) permit the
incurrence of the Facilities (and make other conforming changes relating to the Facilities).
Collectively, these transactions are referred to as the Financing. Net proceeds from the
Financing at closing were $470.6 million which is net of a 1% discount and transaction costs.
The consideration paid by us in connection with the TE Acquisition approximated $637.5 million
which included: (1) $400.0 million in cash to the secured lenders to the Transeastern JV; (2)
$117.5 million in convertible preferred stock and $20.0 million in senior subordinated notes to the
Senior Mezzanine Lenders to the Transeastern JV; (3) $16.3 million in common stock warrants to the
Junior Mezzanine Lenders to the Transeastern JV; (4) $50.2 million in cash to purchase land under
existing land bank arrangements with the former JV partner; and (5) $33.5 million in interest and
expenses.
Additionally, we entered into the Mezz Settlement Agreements which released us from our
potential obligations to the Transeastern JVs mezzanine lenders. Pursuant to the Mezz Settlement
Agreements, we issued to the Senior Mezzanine Lenders the following securities: (i) $20.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of 14.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Election Notes due 2015 (the
Notes), and (ii) $117.5 million in initial aggregate liquidation preference of 8% Series A
Convertible Preferred PIK Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock). We issued to the Junior
Mezzanine Lenders, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the Common Stock). The
warrants had an estimated fair value of $16.3 million at issuance (based on the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and certain agreed upon inputs).
Refer to the section entitled Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements for a detailed description of
the settlement.
Sale of Dallas Operations
41
On June 6, 2007, we sold substantially all of our Dallas division to Wall Homes Texas LLC for
$56.5 million and realized a pre-tax loss on disposal of $13.6 million. In accordance with SFAS
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), results of
our Dallas operations have been classified as discontinued operations and prior periods have been
restated to be consistent with the September 30, 2007 presentation.
Bulk Sale of Homesites in the Mid-Atlantic and Virginia Divisions
As part of our asset management initiatives, on September 25, 2007, we sold 317 homesites to
an unrelated homebuilder for a total purchase price of $26.1 million and realized a pre-tax loss of
$11.6 million.
Additionally, as part of the transaction, the buyer agreed to purchase an option interest to
acquire 250 homesites as well as 34 owned homesites from us once certain obligations associated
with such property are met. The total purchase price for these additional homesites and the
assignment of the option interest is $10.6 million. The transaction will close once we fulfill our
continuing obligations on these properties.
SEC Inquiry
We have been contacted by the Miami Regional Office of the SEC requesting the voluntary
provision of documents and other information from us relating primarily to corporate and financial
information and communications related to the Transeastern JV. The SEC has advised us that this
inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred, nor
should it be considered a reflection upon any person, entity, or security. We are cooperating with
the inquiry.
Total Controlled Homesites by our Homebuilding Operations (Including Joint Ventures)
We use option contracts in addition to land joint ventures in order to acquire land whenever
feasible. Option contracts allow us to control large homesite positions with minimal capital
investment. At September 30, 2007, we controlled approximately 39,500 homesites. Of this amount, we
owned approximately 23,500 homesites and had option contracts on approximately 16,000 homesites. In
addition, our discontinued operations controlled approximately 400 homesites and our unconsolidated
joint ventures controlled approximately 3,700 homesites.
As part of our land acquisition strategy, we have used our capital to control, acquire and
develop larger land parcels that could yield homesites exceeding the requirements of our
homebuilding activities. These large land transactions are characterized by low costs per homesite
where development will not begin for 3 to 5 years. These additional homesites are typically sold to
other homebuilders. We have confined these activities to selected land-constrained markets where we
believe land supplies will remain constrained and opportunities for
land sale profits may exist. Of the 16,000 homesites controlled through option contracts,
4,700 homesites are also part of this strategy. At September 30, 2007, the number of homesites controlled by our
consolidated operations, including our discontinued operations, has decreased by 24,800 or 38% as
compared to December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, of the 23,500 owned homesites, 6,300
homesites are part of this strategy. At September 30, 2007, deposits controlling
homesites under option approximated $14.7 million. We plan to, and are reducing, our positions in
these large land transactions in the future in connection with our asset management activities.
Controlled homesites represent homesites either owned or under option by our consolidated
subsidiaries or by our unconsolidated joint ventures that build and market homes. We do not include
as controlled homesites those homesites which are included in land development joint ventures where
we do not intend to build homes. These joint ventures will acquire and develop land to be sold to
us for use in our homebuilding operations or sold to others. As of September 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006, these joint ventures owned 3,000 and 2,900 homesites, respectively. Of these amounts, we
had options to acquire 700 and 500 homesites, respectively, which are included in our consolidated
homesites under option. Any profits generated from the purchase of homesites from these joint
ventures are deferred until the ultimate sale to an unrelated third party.
Due to worsening market conditions impacting the new home industry, we have applied
increasingly conservative standards to our land retention and option exercise decisions. We have
analyzed each of our communities to determine if they are aligned with our immediate and mid term
goals which are focused on our ability to monetize assets within a relatively short period of time.
As part of the analysis we have reviewed our construction processes including our bid procedures,
bid templates and engineering designs in an attempt to reduce costs from home construction.
Preacquisition costs, development costs and the number of home starts and speculative homes have
also been reduced in light of the new challenges facing the market.
In connection with our asset management efforts, as well as in part to our liquidity
constraints, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we abandoned our rights under
certain option contracts which resulted in a reduction of 9,400 optioned homesites. In addition,
the sale of our Dallas division and the bulk sale of homesites in the Mid-Atlantic and Virginia
divisions
42
reduced the number of controlled homesites by approximately 3,700 homesites. When compared
with the number of controlled homesites at December 31, 2006, the number of homesites controlled by
our consolidated operations, including our discontinued operations, has decreased by 24,800 or 38%.
The decrease in controlled homesites is a result of our asset management initiatives including the
sale of our Dallas division, the bulk sale of homesites in the Mid-Atlantic and Virginia divisions,
other land sales and the abandonment of rights under certain option contracts. This decrease,
however, was partially offset by an increase in the number of homesites acquired as part of the TE
Acquisition as reflected in the table below. In connection with the abandonment of our rights under
these option contracts, we forfeited cash deposits of $166.9 million and had letters of credit of
$91.2 million drawn, subsequent to September 30, 3007, which increased our outstanding borrowings.
The number of homesites controlled by our unconsolidated joint ventures, decreased by 17,000
homesites, or 82%, from December 31, 2006, primarily due to the settlement and purchase of the
Transeastern JV. The table below summarizes our controlled homesite supply as of September 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006.

Homebuilding Operations
Compared to September 30, 2006, consolidated sales value in backlog at September 30, 2007
decreased 32% to $1.1 billion. Our unconsolidated joint ventures
had an additional $37.0 million in
sales value in backlog at September 30, 2007. Our sales orders cancellation rate was approximately
47% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 33%, 29% and 49% for the three
months ended June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Cancellation rates
continue to be affected by worsening market conditions.
We build homes for inventory (speculative homes) and on a pre-sold basis. At September 30,
2007, we had 3,700 homes completed or under construction compared to 3,800 homes at December 31,
2006. Approximately 35% of these homes were unsold at September 30, 2007, an increase from 27% at
June 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, we had 452 completed unsold homes in our inventory, up 142%
from 187 homes at June 30, 2007. Approximately 52% of our completed, unsold homes at September 30,
2007 had been completed for more than 90 days. As part of our asset management strategy, we are
focusing our efforts on diligently managing the number and geographic allocation of our speculative
homes, addressing our inventory levels and timing our construction starts, together with other
actions, to strengthen our balance sheet.
Once a sales contract with a buyer has been approved, we classify the transaction as a new
sales order and include the home in backlog. Such sales orders are usually subject to certain
contingencies such as the buyers ability to qualify for financing. At closing, title passes to the
buyer and a home is considered to be delivered and is removed from backlog. Revenues, which are
net of buyer incentives, and cost of sales are recognized upon the delivery of the home, land or
homesite when title is transferred to the buyer. We estimate that the average period between the
execution of a sales contract for a home and closing is approximately four months to over a year
for pre-sold homes; however, this varies by market. The principal expenses of our Homebuilding
operations are (i) cost of sales and (ii) selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
Costs of home sales include land and land development costs, home construction costs, previously
capitalized indirect costs, capitalized interest and estimated warranty costs. SG&A expenses for
our Homebuilding operations include administrative costs, advertising expenses, on-site marketing
expenses, sales commission costs, and closing costs. Sales commissions are included in selling,
general and administrative costs when the related revenue is recognized. As used herein,
Homebuilding includes results of home and land sales. Home sales includes results related only
to the sale of homes.
Financial Services Operations
To provide homebuyers with a seamless home purchasing experience, we have a complementary
financial services business which provides mortgage financing and settlement services and offers
title, homeowners and other insurance products to our homebuyers and others. Our mortgage
financing operation derives most of its revenues from buyers of our homes, although it also offers
its services to existing homeowners refinancing their mortgages. Our title and settlement services
and our insurance agency operations are used by our homebuyers and a broad range of other clients
purchasing or refinancing residential or commercial real estate. Our mortgage financing
operations revenues consist primarily of origination and premium fee income, interest income, and
the gain on the sale of the mortgages which is recognized when the loans and related servicing
rights are sold to third party investors. Our title operations revenues consist primarily of fees
and premiums from title insurance and settlement services. The principle
44
expenses of our Financial Services operations are SG&A expenses, which consist primarily of
compensation and interest expense on our warehouse lines of credit.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 3% to 5% of the homebuyers,
including those in our unconsolidated joint ventures, that utilized our mortgage subsidiary
obtained sub-prime loans. We define a sub-prime loan as one where the buyers FICO score is below
620 and is not an FHA or VA loan. As of September 30, 2007, approximately 6% of our backlog that
utilized our mortgage subsidiary included homebuyers seeking sub-prime financing. During the third
quarter of 2007, the mortgage markets experienced a significant disruption, which commenced with
increasing rates of default on sub-prime loans and declines in the market value of those loans.
These events led to an unprecedented combination of reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities, tighter credit underwriting standards, reduced mortgage loan liquidity
and increased credit risk premiums, all of which affected the availability of nonconforming
mortgage products. The tightening of credit standards in the sub-prime market had an impact on the
Alt-A and prime loans and further negatively impacted current homebuilding market conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Income Taxes
We calculate a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising
from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We assess the realization of
our deferred tax assets to determine whether an income tax valuation allowance is required. Based
on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and the weight of that evidence to the
extent such evidence can be objectively verified, we determine whether it is more likely than not
that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In determining the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns,
judgment is required. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future tax
consequences could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes an interpretation of SFAS 109, (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income
taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before it
is recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted FIN
48 effective January 1, 2007, and recognized a $1.3 million increase in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the retained earnings balance
at January 1, 2007. In accordance with the transition requirements of FIN 48, results of prior
periods have not been restated.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Housing communities and land/homesites under development are stated at the lower of cost or
net realizable value. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. We
assess these assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the
carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues,
costs and expenses and other factors involving some amount of uncertainty. If an asset is
considered to be impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not subject to amortization.
Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based
test. For purposes of the impairment test, we consider each division a reporting unit. Our
impairment test is based on discounted cash flows derived from internal projections. This process
requires us to make assumptions on future revenues, costs, and timing of expected cash flows. Due
to the degree of judgment required and uncertainties surrounding such estimates, actual results
could differ from such estimates. To the extent additional information arises or our strategies
change, it is
45
possible that our conclusion regarding goodwill impairment could change, which could have a
material effect on our financial position and results of operations. For these reasons, we consider
the accounting estimate related to goodwill impairment to be a critical accounting estimate.
Results of Operations Consolidated
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
Total revenues from continuing operations decreased 15% to $501.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2007, from $592.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This
decrease is attributable to a decrease in Homebuilding revenues of 15%, and a decrease in Financial
Services revenues of 48%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a loss from continuing operations before
benefit for income taxes of $609.8 million as compared to a loss from continuing operations before
benefit for income taxes of $121.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This
decrease is due primarily to (1) $504.5 million in inventory impairments and write-offs of land
deposits and related abandonment costs, (2) $23.4 million in
impairments related to our unconsolidated joint ventures, (3) a $40.7 million increase in the estimated loss
contingency related to the settlement of the Transeastern JV
litigation, and (4) goodwill
impairments totaling $2.7 million.
Our effective tax rate was -1.0% and 33.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The 2007 effective tax rate was impacted primarily due to the recording of a
valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a net loss of $619.7 million (or a loss
of $10.42 per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $80.0 million (or a loss of $1.34 per
diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September
30, 2007, we had a loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $615.8 million (or a loss of
$10.35 per diluted share) compared to a loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $80.2
million (or a loss of $1.35 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Homebuilding
Homebuilding revenues decreased 15% to $492.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, from $576.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is due to a
decrease in revenue from home sales to $449.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007
from $563.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, partially offset by an increase
in revenue from land sales to $43.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from
$13.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in revenue from home sales, which is
net of buyer incentives, was due to an 18% decrease in the number of deliveries to 1,459 from 1,769
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The average price of homes delivered fell slightly,
decreasing to $308,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $318,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. We expect our home sales revenues to continue to decrease in 2007
as the number of home deliveries declines and the average price of homes delivered continues to be
impacted by increased incentives as a result of worsening market conditions for the new home
industry combined with diminished consumer confidence, the oversupply of new and existing homes
available for sale, increased foreclosures and downward pressure on home prices.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a homebuilding gross loss of $437.4
million as compared to a gross profit of $79.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
2006. This decrease is primarily due to an increase in inventory impairments and abandonment costs
to $504.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 in addition to the decrease in the
number of deliveries. Excluding impairment charges, our gross profit margin on revenues from homes
sales decreased to 17.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 22.8% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to higher incentives on homes
delivered in response to challenging homebuilding market conditions. For the three months ended
September 30, 2007, our incentives increased to $45,300 per home delivered from $23,700 per home
delivered for the three months ended September 30, 2006. We expect gross margins, excluding
impairment and related charges, to continue to decline in 2007 due to our expected continued use of
higher incentives to drive our sales rates and downward pressure on home prices due to challenging
market conditions. Excluding impairment charges, we had a gross loss on land sales of $13.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
SG&A
expenses increased to $86.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007,
from $80.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A expenses
is due to the following: (1) an increase of $4.7 million in compensation costs; and (2)
$4.5 million in and professional and consultant fees related to the Transeastern JV and the
evaluation of our restructuring options. The increase in expenses has been partially offset by a
reduction in direct selling and advertising expenses as deliveries have declined quarter over
quarter; reductions in overhead and related expenses, as we continue to improve our operating
efficiencies, reduce costs, and streamline our operations. Excluding the costs of professionals
retained in connection with the development of a long term business plan and evaluation of
restructuring options, our SG&A expenses were $81.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 2007, compared to $80.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales for the three months ended September
30, 2007 increased to 19.2%, as compared to 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
The 4.8% increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is due to the factors
discussed above. We expect our selling expenses as a percentage of our revenue from home sales to
continue to increase in 2007 due to the competition for homebuyers. Our ratio of SG&A expenses as a
percentage of revenues from home sales is also affected by the fact that our consolidated revenues
from home sales do not include revenues recognized by our unconsolidated joint ventures; however,
the compensation and other expenses capitalized by us in connection with certain of these joint
ventures are included in our consolidated SG&A expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a
loss from unconsolidated joint
ventures of $9.2 million compared to income from unconsolidated
joint ventures of $29.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in our earnings from unconsolidated
joint ventures is primarily due to reduced earnings in the joint ventures as our joint ventures are
experiencing similar challenging market conditions as our
consolidated operations. In addition, during the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded
impairment losses of $23.4 million and $148.4 million,
respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, our unconsolidated joint ventures
delivered 274 homes as compared to 1,020 homes delivered during the comparable period in the prior
year.
Net Sales Orders and Homes in Backlog (Consolidated)
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net sales orders decreased by 33% as compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in net sales orders is due to decreased
demand for new homes and higher cancellation rates. We expect these factors to continue to
negatively impact our net sales orders until the markets normalize.
47
Our cancellation rate increased to 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 33%
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Except for our West region, all of our regions
experienced increases in cancellation rates for the three months ended September 30, 2007 when
compared with the same period in 2006. Our Mid-Atlantic region had the largest increase in
cancellation rate to 59% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 24% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. Our Texas region also experienced a large increase in cancellation
rate to 43% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 23% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006. The cancellation rate for our Florida region was 56% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, which represents an 18% increase over the comparative period in the prior year.
The cancellation rate for our West region was 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2007,
which represents a 14% decrease over the comparative period in the prior year.
We had 3,485 homes in backlog as of September 30, 2007, as compared to 4,684 homes in backlog
as of September 30, 2006. The 26% decrease in backlog is primarily due to a decline in sales orders
and an increase in cancellation rates as a result of decreased demand. The sales value of backlog
decreased 32% to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2007, from $1.6 billion at September 30, 2006, due
to the decrease in the number of homes in backlog in addition to a decrease in the average selling
price of homes in backlog to $320,000 from $350,000 from period to period. The decrease in the
average selling price of homes in backlog was primarily due to increased incentives and a change in
product mix. We expect the average selling price of homes in backlog to decrease in the future as
cancellations remain higher than historical levels and higher incentives are offered to move home
inventory.
Net Sales Orders and Homes in Backlog (Unconsolidated Joint Ventures)
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net sales orders increased by 22% as compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in net sales orders was due to high
cancellation rates experienced during the third quarter of last year by the Transeastern JV. Sales
orders at our other joint ventures declined 33% due to worsening market conditions, decreased
demand and higher cancellation rates in the current year. We expect these factors to continue to
negatively impact our combined net sales orders until the markets strengthen. The decrease in net
sales orders at our joint ventures other than the Transeastern JV was also due to a decline in the
number of active communities. We intend to limit the use of joint ventures that build and sell
homes.
We had 135 homes in backlog as of September 30, 2007, as compared to 2,476 homes in backlog as
of September 30, 2006. The 95% decrease in backlog primarily is due to a decline in net sales
orders due to the factors described above.
Joint venture revenues are not included in our consolidated financial statements. At September
30, 2007, the sales value of our joint ventures homes in backlog was $37.0 million compared to
$766.5 million at September 30, 2006. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the number
of homes in backlog. In addition, the average selling price of homes in backlog decreased to
$274,000 from $310,000 from period to period.
Financial Services
Financial Services revenues decreased to $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, from $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This 48% decrease is due
primarily to a decrease in the number of closings at our title and mortgage operations. For the
three months ended September 30, 2007, our mix of mortgage originations was 5% adjustable rate
mortgages (of which approximately 76% were interest only) and 95% fixed rate mortgages, which is a
shift from 22% adjustable rate mortgages (of which approximately 89% were interest only) and 78%
fixed rate mortgages in the comparable period of the prior year. The average FICO score of our
homebuyers during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 731, and the average loan-to-value
ratio on first mortgages was 80%. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 10%
of our homebuyers paid in cash while approximately 8% of our homebuyers paid in cash during the
three months ended September 30, 2006. Our combined mortgage operations capture ratio for non-cash
homebuyers increased to 72% (excluding the Transeastern JV) for the three months ended September
30, 2007 from 71% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The number of closings at our
mortgage operations decreased to 1,087 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from 1,622
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Our combined title operations capture ratio was 98%
for the three months ended September 30, 2007, which is consistent with the comparative prior
period. The number of closings at our title operations decreased to 2,839 for the three months
ended September 30, 2007, from 5,745 for the same period in 2006. Non-affiliated customers
accounted for approximately 61% of our title company revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2007.
Financial Services expenses decreased to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, from $10.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006. This 25% decrease is a
result of reduced staff levels in response to a more challenging housing market.
48
Discontinued Operations
On June 6, 2007, we sold substantially all of our Dallas division to Wall Homes Texas LLC for
$56.5 million and realized a pre-tax loss on disposal of $13.6 million.
In accordance with SFAS 144, results of our Dallas division have been classified as
discontinued operations, and prior periods have been restated to be consistent with the September
30, 2007 presentation. Discontinued operations include Dallas division revenues of $1.1 million
and $34.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Dallas
division had a net loss of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net
income of $0.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Total revenues from continuing operations decreased 10% to $1,650.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 from $1,830.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
This decrease is attributable to a decrease in Homebuilding revenues of 9%, and a decrease in
Financial Services revenues of 36%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a loss from continuing operations before
benefit for income taxes of $835.8 million as compared to income from continuing operations before
provision for income taxes of $71.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This
decrease is due primarily to (1) a $151.6 million increase in the estimated loss contingency
related to the settlement of the Transeastern JV litigation,
(2) $28.9 million in impairments related to our
unconsolidated joint ventures, (3) $628.4 million in inventory
impairments and write-offs of land deposits and related abandonment
costs, and (4) goodwill
impairments totaling $40.9 million.
Our effective tax rate was 4.9% and 42%for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The 2007 effective tax rate was impacted primarily due to the recording of a
valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a net loss of
$817.7 million (or a loss
of $13.75 per diluted share) compared to net income of $42.6 million (or income of $0.72 per
diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September
30, 2007, we had a loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of
$800.1 million (or a loss of
$13.45 per diluted share) compared to income from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $41.4
million (or income of $0.70 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Homebuilding
Homebuilding revenues decreased 9% to $1,619.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $1,781.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily
due to a decrease in revenues from home sales to $1,542.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from $1,724.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, partially
offset by an increase in revenue from land sales of $77.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from $56.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in revenue
from home sales, which is net of buyer incentives, was due to a 10% decrease in the number of
deliveries to 4,833 from 5,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The average price of
homes delivered remained relatively stable, decreasing to $319,000 from $321,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in the average price of homes delivered is primarily
a result of changes in geographic and product mix. We expect our home sales revenues to decrease
in 2007 as the number of home deliveries declines and the average price of homes delivered
continues to be impacted by increased incentives as a result of decreased demand for new homes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a homebuilding gross loss of $339.7
million as compared to a gross profit of $384.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. This decrease is primarily due to an increase in inventory impairments and abandonment costs
of $628.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, in addition to the decrease in
revenue from home sales. Excluding impairment charges, our gross profit margin on revenues from
homes sales decreased to 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 24.9% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to higher incentives on homes
delivered in response to challenging homebuilding market conditions. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, our incentives increased to $40,400 per home delivered as compared to $17,900
per home delivered for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. We expect gross margins, excluding
impairment and related charges, to continue to decline in 2007 due to higher incentives being
offered to improve sales velocity. Excluding impairment charges, we had a gross loss on land sales
of $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
SG&A
expenses decreased to $262.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from
$274.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in SG&A expenses is due
primarily to a reduction in overhead and related expenses, including decreases in compensation and
severance in addition to a decrease of $4.6 million in stock-based compensation expense, as
49
we continue to improve our operating efficiencies, reduce costs, and streamline our
operations. The decrease in expenses has been partially offset by the following: (1) an increase of
$7.7 million in direct selling and advertising expenses, which include commissions, closing costs,
advertising and sales associate compensation, increased in efforts to spur additional sales; and
(2) $14.7 million in professional and consultant fees related to the Transeastern JV and the evaluation of
the companys restructuring options. Excluding the costs of professionals retained in connection
with the development of a long term business plan and evaluation of restructuring options, our SG&A
expenses decreased to $247.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, from $274.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 increased to 17.0%, as compared to 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
130 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is due to the
factors discussed above. We expect our selling expenses as a percentage of our revenue from home
sales to continue to increase in 2007 due to the competition for homebuyers. Our ratio of SG&A
expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales is also affected by the fact that our
consolidated revenues from home sales do not include revenues recognized by our unconsolidated
joint ventures; however, the compensation and other expenses capitalized by us in connection with
certain of these joint ventures are included in our consolidated SG&A expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a loss from unconsolidated joint ventures
of $8.8 million compared to income from unconsolidated joint
ventures of $94.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in our earnings from unconsolidated joint
ventures is primarily due to reduced earnings in the joint ventures as our joint ventures are
experiencing similar challenging market conditions as our consolidated operations. Additionally,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 we recognized
impairments of $28.9 million on
certain joint venture investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our
unconsolidated joint ventures delivered 1,569 homes as compared to 3,105 homes delivered during the
comparable period in the prior year.
Net Sales Orders (Consolidated)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net sales orders decreased by 17% as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in net sales orders is due to decreased
demand for new homes and higher cancellation rates. We expect these factors to continue to
negatively impact our net sales orders until the markets recover.
Our cancellation rate increased to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 28%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Except for our West region, all of our regions
experienced increases in cancellation rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 when
compared with the same period in 2006. Our Florida region had the largest increase in cancellation
rate to 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 26% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Our cancellation rate for our Texas region was 33% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cancellation rate for
our Mid-Atlantic region was 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which represents a 5%
increase over the comparative period in the prior year. The cancellation rate for our West region
was 36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which represents a 2% decrease over the
comparative period in the prior year.
Net Sales Orders (Unconsolidated Joint Ventures)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net sales orders decreased by 14% as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in net sales orders is due to challenging
market conditions, decreased demand and higher cancellation rates. We expect these factors to
continue to negatively impact our net sales orders until the markets recover. The decrease in net
sales orders is also due to a decline in the number of active communities in our joint ventures. We
intend to limit the use of joint ventures that build and sell homes.
Financial Services
Financial Services revenues decreased to $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This 36% decrease is due
primarily to a decrease in the number of closings at our title and mortgage operations. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, our mix of mortgage originations was 8% adjustable rate
mortgages (of which approximately 91% were interest only) and 92% fixed rate mortgages, which is a
shift from 20% adjustable rate mortgages (of which approximately 89% were interest only) and 80%
fixed rate mortgages in the comparable period of the prior year. The average FICO score of our
homebuyers during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 731, and the average loan-to-value
ratio on first mortgages was 79%. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
approximately 10% of our homebuyers paid in cash. Our combined mortgage operations capture ratio
for non-cash homebuyers increased to 69% (excluding the Transeastern JV) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The number of closings at
our mortgage operations decreased to 3,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 4,665
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our combined title operations capture ratio was 97%
for the nine months ended September
50
30, 2007 compared to 98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The number of closings
at our title operations decreased to 11,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from
18,082 for the same period in 2006. Non-affiliated customers accounted for approximately 58% of
our title company revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Financial Services expenses decreased to $26.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This 20% decrease is a
result of reduced staff levels in response to the decline in business levels.
Discontinued Operations
On June 6, 2007, we sold substantially all of our Dallas division to Wall Homes Texas LLC for
$56.5 million and realized a pre-tax loss on disposal of $13.6 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we determined that the pending sale of our
Dallas division at a price below the carrying value was an indicator of impairment. We performed
an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2007 and, at that time, determined that the
goodwill recorded in our Dallas division was impaired; accordingly, we wrote off $3.1 million of
goodwill which is included in loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2007.
In accordance with SFAS 144, results of our Dallas division have been classified as
discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated to be consistent with the September
30, 2007 presentation. Discontinued operations include Dallas division revenues of $44.7 million
and $104.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Dallas division had a net loss of $17.6 million as compared to net income of $1.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Reportable Segments
Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments in accordance with SFAS No.
131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, based primarily upon
similar economic characteristics, product type, geographic area and information used by the chief
operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Our reportable segments
consist of our four major Homebuilding geographic regions (Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Texas and the
West) and our Financial Services operations.
Homebuilding Operations
We have historically aggregated our Homebuilding operations into a single reportable segment,
but we have restated our segment disclosures to present four homebuilding reportable segments for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 as follows:
Florida: Jacksonville, Central Florida, Southeast Florida, Southwest Florida, Tampa/St. Petersburg
Mid-Atlantic: Baltimore/Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Nashville, Northern Virginia
Texas: Austin, Houston, San Antonio

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our Homebuilding operations primary uses of cash have been for land acquisitions,
construction and development expenditures, joint venture investments, and SG&A expenditures. Our
sources of cash to finance these uses have been primarily cash generated from operations and cash
from our financing activities.
Our Financial Services operations primarily use cash to fund mortgages, prior to their sale,
and SG&A expenditures. We rely primarily on internally generated funds, which include the proceeds
generated from the sale of mortgages, and the mortgage operations warehouse lines of credit to
fund these operations.
At September 30, 2007, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $75.6 million as
compared to $54.2 million at December 31, 2006.
The additional borrowings arising from the settlement of the Transeastern JV disputes and the
continuing deterioration of the housing market, including the worsening since late July 2007 due to
the mortgage and credit market crisis, has had, and will continue to have for an extended period of
time, a negative impact on our liquidity and our ability to comply with financial and other
covenants under our bank loans and indentures, including interest coverage, total leverage, and
tangible net worth covenants. All of these factors, and others which may arise in the future, will
adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Our income before non-cash charges generally is our most significant source of operating cash
flow. In past years, because of our rapid growth, our operations had generally used more cash than
they have generated. However, due to the continuing significant deterioration in the housing
market, we have taken, and are continuing to take, actions to maximize cash receipts and minimize
cash expenditures. As part of these initiatives, we have increased our review of general and
administrative expenses and operations to
57
increase efficiencies by reducing costs and streamlining our activities. However, some of our
efforts on reducing general and administrative expenses are being offset by professional and
consulting fees associated with the settlement of our Transeastern joint venture (the Transeastern
JV) and our current restructuring efforts. In addition, we are working with our suppliers and
seeking new suppliers, through competitive bid processes, to reduce construction material and labor
costs. We are analyzing each community based on profit and sales absorption goals that include
current market factors in the homebuilding industry such as the oversupply of homes available for
sale in most of our markets, less demand, decreased consumer confidence, tighter mortgage loan
underwriting criteria and higher foreclosures. We continue to review the size, geographic
allocations and components of our inventory to better align these assets with estimated future
deliveries. We have established inventory targets based on current market conditions, existing
inventory levels and our historical and projected results. If our inventory exceeds these targeted
levels, which is currently the case, we are and will continue to take necessary actions to reduce
our inventory level to these targeted levels. These actions include, to the extent possible:
limiting new arrangements to acquire land; engaging in bulk sales of land and unsold homes;
reducing the number of homes under construction and limiting development activities; re-negotiating
terms or abandoning our rights under option contracts; considering other asset dispositions
including the possible sale of underperforming assets, communities, divisions, and joint venture
interests; further reducing inventory target levels; and other initiatives designed to monetize our
assets including our deferred tax assets.
As a result of worsening market conditions since late July and our liquidity constraints,
during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we abandoned our rights under certain option
agreements which resulted in a 9,400 unit decline in our controlled homesites. Abandonment
decisions were made following in depth community by community analyses of all option contracts
based on projected returns, amount and timing of incremental cash flow, and owned homesites. In
connection with the abandonment of our rights under these option contracts, we forfeited cash
deposits of $166.9 million and had letters of credit of $91.2 million drawn, subsequent to
September 30, 3007, which increased our outstanding borrowings. We have entered into development contracts associated with our option contracts (which
development contracts include obligations of ours to develop property even if we abandon the option
contract). As of September 30, 2007 we recorded a $22.7 million loss accrual with respect thereto.
See note 3 to our financial statements included herein. As challenging market conditions
continue, we expect to continue to reduce inventory in an attempt to further align our inventory
levels to housing demand in those markets we serve, reduce our cost of sales relating to
construction and labor costs for the homes we build, and reduce our selling, general and
administrative costs to levels consistent with fewer home deliveries to operate within our
liquidity constraints. These or future actions may not be sufficient to allow us to continue our
operations.
Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have
$1.7 billion in borrowings, have experienced significant losses for the year ended December 31,
2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and continue to generate negative cash flows
from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
we incurred a net loss of $817.7
million and had stockholders equity of $48.3 million, which was a significant decrease when
compared to $774.9 million at December 31, 2006. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our
ability to restructure our capital structure including our attempt to exchange a large portion of
our outstanding indebtedness for equity. We have asked our bondholders to organize as a group in
order to discuss such restructuring and reorganization alternatives. Failure to restructure our
capital structure would result in, among other things, depleting our available funds and not being
able to pay our obligations when they become due, as well as possible defaults under our debt
obligations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash used in operating activities was $95.6
million, as compared to $179.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
improvement in the use of cash by our operating activities is primarily a result of a reduction in
the growth of our inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. On June 6, 2007, we
sold substantially all of our Dallas division for approximately $52.3 million in net cash proceeds
and on September 25, 2007 we sold in bulk, homesites in our Mid-Atlantic and Virginia division for
$26.1 million in net cash proceeds. Both of these transactions helped to offset a portion of the
cash used by our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Cash used in investing activities was $25.1 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2007, as compared to $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in
cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an increase in investments in unconsolidated
joint ventures to $28.0 million and reductions in the receipt of capital distributions from the
unconsolidated joint ventures to $12.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from
$32.3 million for the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net
additions to property and equipment to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
compared to $13.4 million for the prior year period.
Refunds
of Federal & State Income Taxes
The
Company anticipates receiving refunds of previously paid income taxes
for 2005 and 2006 through the carryback of its taxable loss from
2007, refunds of both federal and state income taxes as the result of
recently filed returns for 2006, and refunds of 2007 estimated taxes
totaling approximately $240.2 million.
58
Seasonality
The homebuilding industry tends to be seasonal, as generally there are more homes sold in the
spring and summer months. Because new home deliveries trail new home contracts by a number of
months, we typically have the greatest percentage of home deliveries in the fall and winter.
Accordingly, during the first half of the year we typically have a higher use of our revolving
credit facility.
Financing Activities
Our consolidated borrowings at September 30, 2007 were $1.7 billion, an increase of $0.6
billion as compared to December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, our Homebuilding borrowings of
$1.7 billion included: (i) $150.3 million of borrowings under the revolving loan facility which
bear interest at the reserve-adjusted Eurodollar base rate plus 1.90%; (ii) $199.5 million under
the First Lien Term Loan Facility due 2012; (iii) $300.0 million of 9% senior notes due 2010; (iv)
$250.0 million of 8-1/4% senior notes due 2011; (v) $125.0 million of 7-1/2% senior subordinated
notes due 2011; (vi) $185.0 million of 10-3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012; (vii) $200.0
million of 7-1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2015; (viii) $306.8 million under the Second Lien
Term Loan Facility due 2013 and (ix) $20.5 million of Senior Sub PIK Notes of 14-3/4% due 2015.
Our weighted average debt to maturity is 4.5 years, while our average inventory turnover is 1.0
times per year.
To effect the TE Acquisition, on July 31, 2007, we entered into the (i) $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility (the First Lien Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term loan facility (the Second Lien
Term Loan Facility), (First and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities taken together, the Facilities)
with Citicorp North America, Inc. as Administrative Agent. The proceeds from the credit facilities
were used to satisfy claims of the senior lenders against the Transeastern JV. Our existing $800.0
million revolving loan facility (the Revolving Loan Facility) was amended and restated to (i)
reduce the revolving commitments thereunder by $100.0 million and (ii) permit the incurrence of the
Facilities (and make other conforming changes relating to the Facilities). Collectively, these
transactions are referred to as the Financing. Net proceeds from the Financing at closing were
$470.6 million which is net of a 1% discount and transaction costs. The Revolving Loan Facility
expires on March 9, 2010. The First Lien Term Loan Facility expires on July 31, 2012 and the Second
Lien Term Loan Facility expires on July 31, 2013.
On October 25, 2007, our Revolving Loan Facility was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Second
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. Among other things, the existing agreement was
amended with respect to (i) the pricing of loans, (ii) limiting the amounts which may be borrowed
prior to December 31, 2007, (iii) modifying the definition of a Material Adverse Effect, (iv)
waiving compliance with certain representations and financial covenants, (v) establishing minimum
operating cash flow requirements, (vi) requiring compliance with weekly budgets, (vii) inclusion of
a five week operating cash flow covenant at the end of November, (viii) requiring the payment of
certain fees, and (ix) reducing the Lenders commitments by $50,000,000.
On October 25, 2007, the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement was also amended by Amendment
No. 1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement to amend certain terms including (i) the pricing
of loans, (ii) the definition of Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) waiving compliance with
certain financial covenants.
59
While the amendments provide us with temporary relief from certain credit agreement covenants,
we face many challenges including, among other things, our current level of indebtedness, which
challenge has become much further intensified based on market conditions that have become
materially worse for all homebuilders since late July 2007. In connection therewith, and as noted
above, we are pursuing a number of initiatives including asset sales, the wind down of divisions,
abandoning our rights under option contracts that no longer provide acceptable returns based on
changing conditions, further reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and are
considering all available in and out of court restructuring and
reorganization alternatives (including a potential Chapter 11
filing) and processes including,
among other things, restructuring our capital structure including attempting to exchange some or
all of our outstanding indebtedness for equity. We may not be successful in achieving these
alternatives and the alternatives, if achieved, may not be successful.
We have been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that our stock is below the minimum
average trading price required for continued listing. We may receive additional notices of
non-compliance with certain other standards including market capitalization shortly. If our shares
are delisted from the NYSE, this will constitute a change of control under our credit agreements,
which is an event of default. The lenders may terminate our right to borrow and declare the loans
to be due and payable.
In
addition, our indentures also limit our ability to incur new indebtedness. Any new borrowings (other
than certain refinancing indebtedness) are limited to
$415.7 million. We may be unable to meet the conditions
necessary for us to be able to incur such additional indebtedness.
The interest rates on the Facilities and the Revolving Loan Facility are based on LIBOR plus a
margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin, at our option. For the Revolving Loan Facility,
the LIBOR rates are increased by between 2.50% and 5.25% depending on our leverage ratio (as
defined in the Agreement) and credit ratings. Loans bearing interest at the base rate (the rate
announced by Citibank as its base rate or 0.50% above the Federal Funds Rate) increase between
1.00% and 4.25% in accordance with the same criteria. Based on our current leverage ratio and
credit ratings, our LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.25% and our base rate loans bear
interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 4.25%. For the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the interest
rate is LIBOR plus 5.00% or base rate plus 4.00%. For the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, the
interest rate is LIBOR plus 7.25% or base rate plus 6.25%. The Second Lien Term Loan Facility
allows us to pay interest, at our option, (i) in cash, (ii) entirely by increasing the principal
amount of the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, or (iii) a combination thereof. The Facilities and
the New Revolving Loan Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries
(the Guarantors). The obligations are secured by substantially all of our assets, including those
of our Guarantors. Our mortgage and title subsidiaries are not Guarantors. The loans under the
Facilities may be prepaid at certain times (the Second Lien Term Loan Facility may not be prepaid
prior to its first anniversary), subject to certain premiums upon repayment. The Facilities and the
Revolving Loan Facility impose certain limitations on us, including with respect to: (i) dividends
on, redemptions and repurchases of, equity interests; (ii) prepayments of junior indebtedness,
redemptions and repurchases of debt; (iii) the incurrence of liens and sale-leaseback transactions;
(iv) loans and investments including joint ventures; and (v) incurrence of debt. The Facilities and
Revolving Loan Facility also contain events of default and have financial covenants, including but
not limited to the following covenants: (i) minimum adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; (ii)
maximum ratio of debt to adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; (iii) minimum ratio of EBITDA to
interest capitalized; (iv) maximum ratio of units owned to units closed; (v) maximum ratio of land
to adjusted consolidated tangible net worth; and (vi) maximum ratio of unsold units to units
closed. As noted above, on October 25, 2007, the Revolving Loan Facility and the First Lien Term
Loan Facility were amended to waive the financial covenants through December 31, 2007. The
Revolving Loan Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which includes a reserve for amounts
outstanding under the Facilities. The Second Lien Term Loan Facility contains a limitation on
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility and the Facilities based on a percentage of
inventory.
Interest on the PIK Notes is payable semi-annually. The Notes are unsecured senior
subordinated obligations of ours, and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by
each of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee our 7.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2015 (the Existing Notes). We are required to pay 1% of the interest in cash and the remaining
13.75%, at our option, (i) in cash, (ii) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the Notes
or issuing new notes, or (iii) a combination thereof. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2015. The
indenture governing the Notes contains the same covenants as contained in the indenture governing
the Existing Notes and is subject, in most cases, to any change to such covenants made to the
indenture governing the Existing Notes. The Notes are redeemable by us at redemption prices greater
than their principal amount.
As of September 30, 2007, we had $150.3 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility,
had issued letters of credit totaling $213.9 million and had
$130.0 million in availability, all of
which we could have borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants considering the amendment
to these covenants made October 25, 2007. In order to fund our future operations we may have to
draw additional amounts under our Revolving Loan Facility. Such amounts may not be available to us
if we are unable to satisfy our covenants and may be further restricted based on the fact that our
October 25, 2007 amendments extend only to December 31, 2007. Therefore, if we are not able to
successfully renegotiate new acceptable terms or refinance our current borrowings, we will be in
default.
60
On April 12, 2006, we issued $250.0 million of 8-1/4% senior notes due 2011. In connection
with the issuance of the 8-1/4% senior notes, we filed within 90 days of the issuance a
registration statement with the SEC covering a registered offer to exchange the notes for exchange
notes of ours having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the notes (except
that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to special interest or transfer
restrictions). The registration statement has not been declared effective within the required
180 days of issuance and, as a result, on October 9, 2006 in accordance with the terms of the notes
became subject to special interest which accrues at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of such default, and shall increase by 0.25% per annum
at the end of each 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we incurred an additional $1.8 million of additional interest expense as a
result of such default.
Our outstanding senior notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, which are all of our material domestic subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and
title subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Our outstanding senior subordinated notes are
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The senior notes
rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt and
senior in right of payment to our senior subordinated notes and any future subordinated debt. The
senior subordinated notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future
unsecured senior subordinated debt. The indentures governing the senior notes and senior
subordinated notes generally require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and place
certain restrictions on our ability, among other things, to incur additional debt, pay or declare
dividends or other restricted payments, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates,
invest in joint ventures above specified amounts, and merge or consolidate with other entities.
Interest on our outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually.
Our financial leverage, as measured by the ratio of Homebuilding net debt to capital,
increased to 97.2% at September 30, 2007 from 56.7% at December 31, 2006, due to the loss for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and an increase in our Homebuilding borrowings. Our stated
goal has been to maintain our net debt to capital within a range of 45% to 55% and, as of September
30, 2007, we are outside of this range. In connection with the Transeastern JV settlement, we have
capitalized additional debt, and therefore further exceed our stated net debt to capital range. For
these reasons, as well as continued challenging market conditions, pursuing asset sales and are
considering all available restructuring and reorganization alternatives and processes including,
among other things, restructuring our capital structure including attempting to exchange some or
all of our outstanding indebtedness for equity. We may not be successful in achieving these
alternatives and the alternatives, if achieved, may not be successful.
Our homebuilding net debt to capital is calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

Does not include obligations for inventory not owned of $44.5 million at September 30, 2007 and $300.6 million at December 31, 2006, all of which are
non-recourse to us. Obligations for inventory not owned in our consolidated statements of financial condition represent liabilities associated with our land
banking and similar activities, including obligations in variable interest entities which have been consolidated by us and in which we have a less than 50%
ownership interest, and the creditors have no recourse against us. As a result, the obligations have been specifically excluded from the calculation of
leverage ratios pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility. |

** |

Does not include Financial Services bank borrowings of $22.4 million at September 30, 2007 and $35.4 million at December 31, 2006. |
Homebuilding net debt to capital is not a financial measure required by generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and other companies may calculate it differently. We have included
this information as we believe that the ratio of Homebuilding net debt
61
to capital provides comparability among other publicly-traded homebuilders. In addition,
management uses this information in measuring the financial leverage of our homebuilding
operations, which is our primary business. Homebuilding net debt to capital has limitations as a
measure of financial leverage because it excludes Financial Services bank borrowings and it reduces
our Homebuilding debt by the amount of our unrestricted cash. Management compensates for these
limitations by using Homebuilding net debt to capital as only one of several comparative tools,
together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our financial leverage. It should
not be construed as an indication of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity.
Our mortgage subsidiary has two warehouse lines of credit in place to fund the origination of
residential mortgage loans. The primary revolving warehouse line of credit (the Primary Warehouse
Line of Credit), which was amended on December 9, 2006, provides for revolving loans of up to
$100.0 million. The Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, expires on December 8, 2007. The
Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus a margin
of 1.0% to 3.0%, except for certain specialty mortgage loans, determined based upon the type of
mortgage loans being financed. The Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, as amended, also places
certain restrictions on, among other things, our mortgage subsidiarys ability to incur additional
debt, create liens, pay or declare dividends or other restricted payments, make equity investments,
enter into transactions with affiliates, and merge or consolidate with other entities.
On August 7, 2007, we amended our mortgage subsidiarys other $50.0 million warehouse line of
credit to reduce the size of the facility to $35.0 million (the Secondary Warehouse Line of
Credit). The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit is comprised of (1) a credit facility providing
for revolving loans of up to $20.0 million, subject to meeting borrowing base requirements based on
the value of collateral provided, and (2) a mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement which
provides for the purchase by the lender of up to $15.0 million in mortgage loans generated by our
mortgage subsidiary. On September 18, 2007 the purchase and sale agreement was expanded from $15.0
million to $30.0 million. At no time may the amount outstanding under this Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit, plus the amount of purchased loans pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement
exceed $50.0 million. The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR
rate plus a margin of 1.125%. The Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit expires on August 8, 2008.
As a result of the Company breaching certain covenants in its Second Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement and First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2007, an
event of default occurred under the $20.0 million credit facility within the Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit. Under an amendment dated October 25, 2007 granting waiver of default, the lender
has no obligation to make any loans through the waiver period which ends December 31, 2007.
Both lines of credit are secured by funded mortgages, which are pledged as collateral, and
require our mortgage subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios and minimums. At September 30,
2007, we had $13.1 million in borrowings under our Primary Warehouse Line of Credit, with the
capacity to borrow an additional $86.9 million, subject to satisfying the relevant borrowing
conditions. At September 30, 2007, we had $9.3 million in borrowings under our Secondary Warehouse
Line of Credit. In accordance with the waiver obtained, we currently have no borrowings outstanding
under the Secondary Warehouse Line of Credit.
At September 30, 2007, the amount of our annual debt service payments was $171.5 million. This
amount included annual debt service payments on the senior and senior subordinated notes of $91.2
million, interest payments on the revolving credit facility of $15.2 million, on the First Lien
Term Loan Facility of $19.1 million, on the Second Lien Term Loan Facility of $41.6 million and on
the Senior Subordinated PIK Notes of $3.0 million, and on the warehouse lines of credit of $1.4
million, based on the balances outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The amount of our annual debt
service payments on warehouse lines of credit fluctuates based on the principal outstanding under
the facility and the interest rate. An increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates will change our
annual debt service payment by $6.8 million per year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Land and Homesite Option Contracts
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into option contracts to purchase homesites and
land held for development. At September 30, 2007 we had refundable and non-refundable cash deposits
aggregating $82.0 million. Under these option contracts, we have the right to buy homesites at
predetermined prices on a predetermined takedown schedule anticipated to be commensurate with home
starts. Option contracts generally require the payment of a cash deposit or the posting of a letter
of credit, which is typically less than 20% of the underlying purchase price, and may require
monthly maintenance payments. These option contracts are either with land sellers or third party
financial entities who have acquired the land to enter into the option contract with us. Homesite
option contracts are generally non-recourse, thereby limiting our financial exposure for
non-performance to our cash deposits and/or letters of credit. In certain instances, we have
entered into development agreements in connection with option contracts which require us to
complete the development of the land, at a fixed reimbursable amount, even if we choose not to
exercise our option and forfeit our deposit and even if our costs exceed the reimbursable amount.
As of September 30, 2007, we have abandoned our rights under option contracts that require us to
complete the development of land for a fixed reimbursable amount. At September 30, 2007, we
recorded a
62
loss
accrual of $22.7 million, in connection with the abandonment of these option contracts,
for our obligations under the development agreements, based on our estimate of the excess of costs
to complete the development of the land over the fixed reimbursable amounts.
In addition, certain of these option contracts give the other party the right to require us to
purchase homesites or guarantee certain minimum returns. As of September 30, 2007, we have
abandoned our rights under option contracts that give the other party the right to require us to
purchase the homesites. On some of these option contracts, we have received notices in which the
other party is exercising their right to require us to purchase the homesites under this provision
of the option contracts. We do not have the ability to comply with these notices due to liquidity
constraints. These option contracts were previously consolidated and the inventory was included in
inventory not owned and the corresponding liability was included in obligations for inventory not
owned. As we do not have the intent or the ability to comply with the requirement to purchase the
property, we have deconsolidated these option contracts at September 30, 2007. Capitalized
pre-acquisition costs associated with these option contracts are
impaired and $33.3 million was
written off during the three months ended September 30, 2007. In addition, at September 30, 2007,
we recorded a loss accrual of $12.6 million, including
$19.3 million for letters of credit which we anticipated would
be drawn due to nonperformance under such contracts, in connection with the abandonment of these option
contracts, for our obligations under these option contracts, based on our estimate of the
deficiency of the fair value of the underlying inventory evaluated as available for sale under
SFAS No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144) compared
to our required purchase price under the option contract. As of September 30, 2007, the total
required purchase price under these option contracts was $52.3 million.
We are subject to the normal obligations associated with entering into contracts for the
purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Additionally,
at September 30, 2007, we had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $67.2 million
primarily related to land development activities. We are committed under various letters of credit
and performance bonds which are required for certain development activities, deposits on land and
deposits on homesite purchase contracts. Under these arrangements, we had total outstanding letters
of credit of $213.9 million. As a result of abandoning our rights under option contracts, as of
September 30, 2007, we accrued $99.7 million for letters of credits which we anticipated would be
drawn due to nonperformance under such contracts. Of this amount,
$91.2 million of letters of
credit have been drawn and have increased our borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Loan
Facility. We have entered into development contracts associated with our option contracts (which
development contracts include obligations of ours to develop property even if we abandon the option
contract). As of September 30, 2007 we recorded a $22.7 million loss accrual with respect thereto.
See note 3 to our financial statements included herein.
At September 30, 2007, we have total outstanding performance / surety bonds of $233.5 million
related to land development activities and have estimated our exposure on our outstanding surety
bonds to be $151.5 million based on land development remaining to be completed. We have been
experiencing a reduction in availability of security bond capacity. In addition to increasing cost
of surety bond premiums there have been, and may continue to be, some
cases where we have to obtain a letter of credit or provide other
collateral to secure necessary surety bonds. If we are unable to secure such bonds,
may elect to post alternative forms of collateral with government entities or escrow agents.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have entered into joint ventures that acquire and develop land for our Homebuilding
operations and/or that also build and market homes for sale to third parties. In the future, we
intend to limit the number of homebuilding joint ventures into which we enter. Through joint
ventures, we reduce and share our risk associated with land ownership and development and extend
our capital resources. Our partners in these joint ventures generally are unrelated homebuilders,
land sellers, financial investors or other real estate entities. In joint ventures where the assets
are being financed with debt, the borrowings are non-recourse to us except that we have agreed to
complete certain property development commitments in the event the joint ventures default and to
indemnify the lenders for losses resulting from fraud, misappropriation and similar acts. Our
obligations become full recourse in the event of voluntary bankruptcy of the joint venture. At
September 30, 2007, we had investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures of $80.9 million. We
account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. These unconsolidated joint
ventures are limited liability companies or limited partnerships in which we have a limited
partnership interest and a minority interest in the general partner. At September 30, 2007, we had
receivables of $42.2 million from these joint ventures due to loans and advances, unpaid management
fees and other items. The debt covenants under our new revolving credit facility contain
limitations on the amount of our direct cash investments in joint ventures.
We believe that the use of off-balance sheet arrangements enables us to acquire rights in land
which we may not have otherwise been able to acquire at favorable terms. As a result, we view the
use of off-balance sheet arrangements as beneficial to our Homebuilding activities.
Engle/Sunbelt Joint Venture
In December 2004, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Suntous Investors, LLC
(Suntous) to form Engle/Sunbelt Holdings, LLC (Engle/Sunbelt). Engle/Sunbelt was formed to
develop finished homesites and deliver homes in the Phoenix, Arizona market, and upon its
inception, the partnership acquired eight of our existing communities in Phoenix, Arizona. The
borrowings by Engle/Sunbelt are non-recourse to us; however, through our subsidiary Engle Homes
Residential, LLC, we have agreed
63
to complete any property development commitments in the event Engle/Sunbelt defaults.
Additionally, we agreed to indemnify the lenders for potential losses resulting from fraud,
misappropriation and similar acts by Engle/Sunbelt.
Engle/Sunbelt is unable to borrow under its credit facilities due to certain events
with respect to us which are treated as a material adverse change.
The joint venture is currently engaged in
negotiations with its lenders to obtain a waiver. As a result, we are
likely to fund critical
cash needs to the extent permitted under our credit agreements, and anticipate being
repaid when the joint venture is again able to borrow.
TOUSA / Kolter Joint Venture
In January 2005, we entered into a joint venture with Kolter Real Estate Group LLC to form
TOUSA/Kolter Holdings, LLC (TOUSA/Kolter) for the purpose of acquiring, developing and
selling approximately 1,900 homesites and commercial property in a master planned community in
South Florida. The joint venture obtained senior and senior subordinated term loans (the term
loans) of which $47.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, were outstanding as of September 30,
2007. We entered into a Performance and Completion Agreement in favor of the lenders under which
we agreed, among other things, to construct and complete the horizontal development of the lots and
commercial property and related infrastructure in accordance with certain agreed plans. The term
loans required, among other things, TOUSA/Kolter to have completed the development of certain lots
by January 7, 2007. Due to unforeseen and unanticipated delays in the entitlement process and
additional development requests by the county and water management district, TOUSA/Kolter was
unable to complete the development of these certain lots by the required deadline. On June 21,
2007, and in response to missing the development deadline, TOUSA/Kolter amended the existing term
loan agreements and we amended the Performance and Completion Agreement which remedied the
situation by extending the Performance and Completion Agreement development deadline to May 31,
2008. The amendment to the term loan agreements increased the interest rate on the senior term
loan by 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.25% and by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus 8.5% for the
senior subordinated term loan. As a condition to the amendment, we have agreed to be responsible
for the additional 150 basis points; accordingly, this will be paid by us and will be a cost of the
lots we acquire from TOUSA/Kolter. The amendment also required us to increase the existing letter
of credit by an additional $1.8 million for a total letter of credit deposit of $12.1 million and
place an additional $3.0 million cash deposit on the remaining lots under option which was used by
TOUSA/Kolter to pay down a portion of the senior term loan.
We evaluated the recoverability of our investment in and receivables from TOUSA/Kolter at
September 30, 2007 for impairment under APB 18, and recorded an
impairment of $16.9 million, which was offset by a deferred gain
of $12.8 million, resulting in a net charge to earnings of
$4.1 million.
Centex/ TOUSA at Wellington, LLC
In December 2005, we entered into a joint venture with Centex Corporation to form Centex/TOUSA
at Wellington, LLC (Centex/TOUSA at Wellington) for the purpose of acquiring, developing and
selling approximately 264 homesites in a community in South Florida. The joint venture obtained a
term loan of which $30.1 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The credit agreement
requires the joint venture to construct and complete the horizontal development of the lots and related
infrastructure in accordance with certain agreed plans. On August 31, 2007, Centex/TOUSA at
Wellington received a notice requiring the joint venture partners to contribute approximately $10.0
million to the joint venture to paydown the term loan in order to be in compliance with the 60%
loan to value ratio covenant. Neither us nor our joint venture partner have made the required equity contribution; however,
discussions with the lenders, joint venture partners and potential buyers are ongoing.
We evaluated the recoverability of our investment in and receivables from Centex/TOUSA at
Wellington, LLC at September 30, 2007 for impairment under APB 18, and recorded an impairment of
$11.6 million based on our current negotiations with our joint venture partner, lenders and
potential third party buyers that would allow us to assign our equity ownership in return for a
release of all of our obligations. Additionally, as part of the negotiations, we have agreed to
relinquish title to certain homesites previously acquired in the
amount of $14.7 million.
Accordingly, we have recorded an impairment of such amount at September 30, 2007 that is included
in inventory impairments and abandonment costs in the accompanying statement of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Layton Lakes Joint Venture
In connection with our joint venture with Lennar corporation to develop, construct and sell
single family homes, townhome properties and commercial property in Arizona, we entered into a
Completion and Limited Indemnity Agreement for the benefit of the lender to the joint venture. The
agreement required us to maintain a tangible net worth of
$400.0 million. As a result of the decrease in our tangible net
worth, this covenant has been breached and the outstanding
$60.0 million loan to the joint venture is in default. If the
default is not cured within thirty days of notice, the lender, in its
discretion, may accelerate the loan, foreclose on its liens, and
exercise all other contractual remedies, including our completion
guaranty. In addition, the operating agreement of the joint venture
states that a breach by a member of any covenant of such member
contained in any loan agreement entered into in connection with the
financing of the property is an event of default. Under the operating
agreement, a defaulting member does not have the right to vote or
otherwise participate in the management of the joint venture until
the default is cured. A defaulting member can not take down any lots
from the joint venture. At September 30, 2007, our investment
in the Layton Lakes joint venture is $23.5 million.
Transeastern JV
We acquired our 50% interest in the Transeastern JV on August 1, 2005, when the Transeastern
JV acquired substantially all of the homebuilding assets and operations of Transeastern Properties
including work in process, finished lots and certain land option rights. The Transeastern JV paid
approximately $826.2 million for these assets and operations (which included the assumption of
$127.1 million of liabilities and certain transaction costs, net of $30.1 million of cash). The
other member of the joint venture was an entity controlled by the former majority owners of
Transeastern Properties, Inc. We continued to function as the managing member of the Transeastern
JV through our wholly-owned subsidiary, TOUSA Homes L.P.
64
When the Transeastern JV was initially formed, it had more than 3,000 homes in backlog and
projected 2006 deliveries of approximately 3,500 homes. While management of the Transeastern JV
began to curtail sales in its communities at the end of 2005, these actions were taken not in
anticipation of a declining home sales market but rather in an attempt to address the Transeastern
JVs backlog until there was a balance among sales, construction and deliveries. Both our
management and the management of the Transeastern JV anticipated increased sales by the close of
the summer of 2006.
After experiencing several months of continuous declines in deliveries as compared to
forecasted amounts due to higher than expected cancellations and lower than expected gross sales,
in early September 2006, management of the Transeastern JV finalized and distributed to its members
six-year financial projections based on the build-out and sale of its current controlled land
positions. These revised projections from the Transeastern JV indicated that the joint venture
would report a loss in the fourth quarter and would not have the liquidity to meet its debt
obligations under the capital structure that was in place at that time. As a result of these and
other factors, in September 2006, we evaluated the recoverability of our investment in the joint
venture under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for
Investments in Common Stock (APB 18), and determined our investment to be fully impaired. As of
September 30, 2006, we wrote off $143.6 million related to our investment in the Transeastern JV,
which included $35.0 million of our member loans receivable and $16.2 million of receivables for
management fees, advances and interest due to us from the joint venture.
On October 31, 2006 and November 1, 2006, we received demand letters from the administrative
agent for the lenders to the Transeastern JV demanding payment under certain guarantees. The demand
letters allege that potential defaults and events of default had occurred under the credit
agreements and that such potential defaults or events of default had triggered our obligations
under the guarantees. The lenders claimed that our guarantee obligations equaled or exceeded all of
the outstanding obligations under each of the credit agreements and that we were liable for default
interest, costs and expenses.
On July 31, 2007, we consummated transactions to settle the disputes regarding the
Transeastern Joint Venture (the Transeastern JV) with the lenders to the Transeastern JV, its
land bankers and our joint venture partner in the Transeastern JV. Pursuant to the settlement,
among other things, (i) the Transeastern JV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and by merger
into one of the our subsidiaries became a guarantor on our credit facilities and note indentures,
(ii) the senior secured lenders of the Transeastern JV were repaid in full, including accrued
interest, and (iii) the junior and senior mezzanine lenders received securities of the Company in
satisfaction of the obligations of the Transeastern JV. In connection with the settlement, we
entered into Settlement and Release Agreements with the senior mezzanine lenders (the Senior
Mezzanine Lenders) and the junior mezzanine lenders (the Junior Mezzanine Lenders) to the
Transeastern JV (collectively, the Mezz Settlement Agreements) which released us from our
potential obligations to them. The TE Acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting.
In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5) and other authoritative
guidance, through June 30, 2007 we accrued $385.9 million for settlement of loss contingency
(determined by computing the difference between the estimated fair market value of the
consideration paid in connection with the global settlement less the estimated fair market value of
the business we acquired) of which, $275.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2006 and $110.9
million was accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2007 based on the final settlement terms.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007 we recorded an additional $40.7 million upon
completion of the purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair market of the consideration
paid and the net assets acquired. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the
provision for settlement of loss contingency of $40.7 million and $151.6 million is presented as a
separate line item in our consolidated statements of operations. The accrual of $275.0 million is
included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidated statement of financial
condition as of December 31, 2006.
In connection with the acquisition of the Transeastern JV, on June 29, 2007, we entered into
the Mezz Settlement Agreements which released us from our potential obligations to the Transeastern
JVs mezzanine lenders. Pursuant to the Mezz Settlement Agreements, we issued to the Senior
Mezzanine Lenders the following securities: (i) $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of
14.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Election Notes due 2015 (the Notes); and (ii) $117.5 million in
initial aggregate liquidation preference of 8% Series A Convertible Preferred PIK Preferred Stock
(the Preferred Stock). We issued to the Junior Mezzanine Lenders, warrants to purchase shares of
our common stock (the Common Stock). The warrants had an estimated fair value of $16.3 million at
issuance (based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and certain agreed upon inputs).
Pursuant to the previously announced settlement and mutual release agreement with
Falcone/Ritchie LLC and certain of its affiliates (the Falcone Entities) concerning the
Transeastern JV, one of which owned 50% of the equity interests in the Transeastern JV, we became
the sole owner of the Transeastern JV and have, among other things, released the Falcone Entities
from claims under the asset purchase agreement pursuant to which we acquired our interest in the
Transeastern JV. The Transeastern JV and we remain obligated on certain indemnification
obligations, including, without limitation, related to certain land bank arrangements. At closing,
we agreed to purchase $50.2 million in inventory that was controlled by the Transeastern JV through
existing land bank arrangements with an affiliate of our former JV partner.
65
To effect the TE Acquisition, on July 31, 2007, we entered into a (i) new $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility (the First Lien Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) a new $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term loan facility (the Second
Lien Term Loan Facility), (First and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities taken together, the
Facilities) with Citicorp North America, Inc. as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and
Book Running Manager. The proceeds from the credit facilities were used to satisfy claims of the
senior lenders against the Transeastern JV, and to pay related expenses. Our existing
$800.0 million revolving loan facility (the Revolving Loan Facility) was amended and restated to
(i) reduce the revolving commitments thereunder by $100.0 million and (ii) permit the incurrence of
the Facilities (and make other conforming changes relating to the Facilities). Collectively, these
transactions are referred to as the Financing. Net proceeds from the Financing at closing were
$470.6 million which is net of a 1% discount and transaction costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a result of our senior and senior subordinated notes offerings, as of September 30, 2007,
$1.1 billion of our outstanding borrowings are based on fixed interest rates. We are exposed to
market risk primarily related to potential adverse changes in interest rates on our warehouse lines
of credit and our revolving credit facility. The interest rates relative to these borrowings
fluctuate with the prime, Federal Funds, LIBOR, and Eurodollar lending rates. We have not entered
into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30,
2007, we had an aggregate of approximately $679.0 million drawn
under our revolving credit facility, term loans and warehouse lines of credit that are subject to changes in interest rates. An increase or
decrease of 1% in interest rates will change our annual debt service payments by $6.8 million per
year as a result of our bank loan arrangements that are subject to changes in interest rates.
On July 31, 2007, as part of the global settlement related to the Transeastern JV, we entered
into (i) a new $200.0 million aggregate principal amount first lien term loan facility which
expires on July 31, 2012 and (ii) a new $300.0 million aggregate principal amount second lien term
loan facility which expires on July 31, 2013. The interest rates relative to these borrowings
fluctuate with the LIBOR or Federal Funds lending rate.
Our operations are interest rate sensitive as overall housing demand is adversely affected by
increases in interest rates. If mortgage interest rates increase significantly, this may negatively
affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates also increase
our borrowing costs because, as indicated above, our bank loans will fluctuate with the prime,
Federal Funds, LIBOR, and Eurodollar lending rates.
The following table presents the future principal payment obligations and weighted average
interest rates associated with our long-term debt instruments assuming our actual level of
long-term debt indebtedness as of September 30, 2007:

To ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, we have
formulized our disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of September 30, 2007.
Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of September 30, 2007, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in our internal control
over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas v. Technical Olympic USA, Inc. and TOUSA Homes L.P., Supreme
Court of the State of New York, County of New York, No. 06/604118.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. v. Technical Olympic USA, Inc., EH/Transeastern, LLC, and
TE/TOUSA Senior, LLC, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, No. 600974/07.
These cases were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice on August 2, 2007.
Class Action Lawsuit
Durgin, et al., v. TOUSA, Inc., et al., USDC for the Southern District of Florida, No.
06-61844-CIV. Beginning in December 2006, various stockholder plaintiffs brought lawsuits seeking
class action status in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. At a hearing
held March 29, 2007, the Court consolidated the actions and heard arguments on the appointment of
lead plaintiff and counsel. On September 7, 2007, the Court appointed Diamondback Capital
Management, L.L.C. as the lead plaintiff and approved Diamondbacks selection of counsel. Pursuant
to a scheduling order, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Complaint on November 2, 2007. The
Consolidated Complaint names TOUSA, all of TOUSAs directors, David Keller, Randy Kotler, Beatriz
Koltis, Lonnie Fedrick, Technical Olympic, S.A., UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and JMP Securities LLC as defendants. The alleged class period is
August 1, 2005 to March 19, 2007. The plaintiffs allege that TOUSAs public filings and other
public statements that described the financing for the Transeastern Joint Venture as non-recourse
to TOUSA were false and misleading. Plaintiffs also allege that certain public filings and
statements were misleading or suffered from material omissions in failing to fully disclose or
describe the Completion and Carve-Out Guaranties that TOUSA executed in support of the Transeastern
Joint Venture financing. Plaintiffs assert claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act against
all defendants other than Ms. Koltis for strict liability and negligence regarding the registration
statements and prospectus associated with the September 2005 offering of 4 million shares of stock.
As explained above, plaintiffs contend that the registration statements and prospectus contained
material misrepresentations and suffered from material omissions in the description of the
Transeastern Joint Venture financing and TOUSAs related obligations. Plaintiffs assert related
claims against Technical Olympic, S.A. and Messrs. K. Stengos, Mon, Keller and McAden as
controlling persons responsible for the statements in the registration statements and prospectus.
Plaintiffs also allege claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act for fraud with respect to
various public statements about the non-recourse nature of the Transeastern debt and alleged
omissions in disclosing or describing the Guaranties. These claims are alleged against TOUSA,
Messrs. Mon, McAden, Keller and Kotler and Ms. Koltis. Finally, plaintiffs assert related claims
against Messrs. Mon, Keller, Kotler and McAden as controlling persons responsible for the various
alleged false disclosures. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, plus fees and costs, on behalf of
themselves and the putative class of purchasers of TOUSA common stock and purchasers and sellers of
options on TOUSA common stock. TOUSAs response to the Consolidated Complaint is due on January 2,
2008. No trial date has been set in these consolidated actions.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below is a discussion of the material changes in our risk factors as previously
disclosed in Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006 (2006 Form 10-K).
The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors
and other information disclosed in our 2006 Form 10-K.
Our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have
$1.7 billion in borrowings and have experienced significant losses for the year ended December 31,
2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We continue to generate negative cash flows from
operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we
incurred a net loss of $817.7 million
and as of September 30, 2007, had stockholders equity of
$48.3 million. Based on the foregoing, we
believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
continue as a going concern will depend upon our ability to restructure our capital structure
including exchanging a large portion of our outstanding indebtedness for equity. We have asked our
bondholders to organize as a group in order to discuss such restructuring and reorganization
alternatives and we have commenced discussions with their representatives, though these discussions
are at a very early stage. In connection therewith, we are actively pursuing asset sales and all
available restructuring and reorganization alternatives and processes including, among other
things, restructuring our capital structure including attempting to exchange a large portion of our
outstanding indebtedness for equity.
69
Failure to restructure our capital structure would result in depleting our available funds and
not being able to pay our obligations when they become due. No assurances can be made regarding our
ability to satisfy our liquidity and working capital requirements or our ability to restructure our
capital structure. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets.
Our substantial indebtedness has adversely affected our financial health.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness. In connection with the global settlement with
respect to the Transeastern JV, we incurred an additional $500.0 million of secured debt and
another $20.0 million of unsecured debt. Our substantial indebtedness will have important
consequences to you. For example, it has:
|
|
|
increased our vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive
conditions; |
|
|
|
|
required us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to
payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of property and other general corporate
purposes; |
|
|
|
|
limited our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the
industry in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
placed us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
and |
|
|
|
|
limited our ability to borrow additional funds. |
If the price of our shares remains low or our financial condition further deteriorates, we may be
delisted by the New York Stock Exchange and our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our
common stock.
Our common stock currently trades on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. The NYSE requires
companies to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed.
Under an NYSE rule that became effective on March 5, 2007, the NYSE has halted trading our
common stock when trades were reported at a price of below $1.05. Trading will not be resumed on
the NYSE until our common stock has traded on another market for at least one entire trading day at
a price at or above $1.10. While our common stock has continued to trade on other markets pursuant
to unlisted trading privileges, such unlisted trading may not continue and may not reach $1.10 per
share.
The NYSE has minimum continuing listing standards that it requires of its listed companies
including thresholds regarding stock price, market capitalization combined with minimum
stockholders equity and total market value. On November 12, 2007, we received notice from the NYSE
that we were not in compliance with NYSE continued listing requirements because the average closing
share price of our common stock over a consecutive 30-trading day period was less than $1.00. The
NYSE also noted that our absolute market value was, based on a closing price of $0.35 on November 9, 2007,
only $20.9 million and that it would immediately initiate suspension and delisting procedures if
the 30-trading day average was below $25.0 million. A third continued listing standard requires a
30 average trading day market capitalization of not less than $75 million and stockholders equity
of at least $75 million. We are now below this standard and we anticipate being notified by
the NYSE of such failure.
Finally we have been notified by the NYSE that delisting procedures may be instituted if out
stock trades at an abnormally low price.
We intend to take actions to re-attain compliance or request a review of the delisting
decision by the NYSE. We may not be successful with our efforts.
If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE, we may apply to have our shares quoted on
NASDAQs Bulletin Board or in the pink sheets maintained by the National Quotations Bureau, Inc.
The Bulletin Board and the pink sheets are generally considered to be less efficient markets than
the NYSE. In addition, if our shares are no longer listed on the NYSE or another national
securities exchange in the United States, our shares may be subject to the penny stock
regulations. If our common stock were to become subject to the penny stock regulations, it is
likely that the price of our common stock would decline and that our stockholders would find it
difficult to sell their shares.
If our stock is delisted from the NYSE, we will be in default under our credit agreements.
70
We have been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that our stock is below the minimum
average trading price required for continued listing. We may receive additional notices of
non-compliance with certain other standards including market capitalization shortly. If our shares
are delisted from the NYSE, this will constitute a change of control under our credit agreements,
which is an event of default. The lenders may terminate our right to borrow and declare the loans
to be due and payable.
