On May 4, 2006, Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the Company) closed on a privately
placed 30-year, $30 million junior subordinated note (the Note) offering with a five year fixed
rate coupon of 9.72%. The Note was issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as
of May 4, 2006, by and between the Company and Kodiak Warehouse LLC and an Indenture, dated as of
May 4, 2006, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The proceeds were used in
connection with the May 5, 2006 acquisition of Capitol Homes, Inc. and to retire substantially all
of Capitols outstanding debt ( as discussed in further detail below).
On May 9, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding the junior subordinated debt
transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

|
|
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets; and |
Item 2.03.
|
|
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant. |
On May 5, 2006 (the Closing Date), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of Capitol Homes, Inc. (Capitol Homes). The transaction was consummated
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on May 1, 2006 (the Stock Purchase Agreement)
among the Company, Capitol Homes and the stockholders of Capitol Homes (the Sellers).
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company paid $7 million in
cash, paid off approximately $1.9 million in indebtedness and other obligations of Capitol Homes to
the Sellers and certain third parties, and paid or assumed approximately $12 million of
indebtedness of Capitol Homes in consideration for the stock of Capitol Homes. The Company also
acquired an additional parcel of real estate from an affiliate of the Sellers for approximately
$4.4 million. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, $2 million of the cash
consideration was deposited into escrow with a third-party escrow agent, to be held until March 31,
2009 (with portions of the escrow fund subject to release over time on an incremental basis on
March 31, 2007, May 5, 2007, March 31, 2008, and May 5, 2008) pursuant to an Escrow Agreement to
satisfy possible indemnification claims made by the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The indebtedness of Capitol Homes assumed by the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement consists of promissory notes payable to one lender. The Company does not believe that
any of these debt obligations, taken individually, are material to the
Company. The loan agreements evidencing the assumed debt obligations contain customary
default and acceleration terms.
On May 9, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding the acquisition of Capitol Homes.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
