BROOKFIELD HOMES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amounts)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
Brookfield Homes Corporation (the Company or Brookfield Homes) was incorporated on August 28,
2002 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Properties Corporation (Brookfield Properties) to
acquire as of October 1, 2002 all of the California and Washington D.C. Area homebuilding and land
development operations (the Land and Housing Operations) of Brookfield Properties pursuant to a
reorganization of its business (the Spin-off). On January 6, 2003, Brookfield Properties
completed the Spin-off by distributing all of the issued and outstanding common stock it owned in
the Company to its common stockholders. Brookfield Homes began trading as a separate company on
the New York Stock Exchange on January 7, 2003.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Homes and its subsidiaries
and investments in joint ventures and variable interests in which the Company is the primary
beneficiary.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information.
Since they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, they should be read in
conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been made.
The Company historically has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in
quarterly results. The consolidated statements of income for the three months March 31, 2006 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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.
(b) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 128. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including all
dilutive potentially issuable shares under various stock option plans.
(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) establishes
accounting standards for transactions in which a company exchanges its equity instruments for goods
or services. In particular, this Statement requires companies to record compensation expense for
all share-based payments, such as employee stock options, at fair market value. This Statement
became effective January 1, 2006 for the Company and did not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements. See Note 5, Stock-Based Compensation, for further discussion
on share-based payments.

BROOKFIELD HOMES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amounts)
(d) Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised Interpretation
46 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), an Interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaces the previous
version of FASB Interpretation 46 issued in January 2003 (FIN 46). The decision whether to
consolidate a VIE begins with establishing that a VIE exists. A VIE exists when either the total
equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities by
itself, or the equity investor lacks one of three characteristics associated with owning a
controlling financial interest. Those characteristics are the direct or indirect ability to make
decisions about the entitys activities through voting rights or similar rights, the obligation to
absorb the expected losses of an entity, and the right to receive the expected residual returns.
The entity with the majority of the expected losses or expected residual return is considered to be
the primary beneficiary of the entity and is required to consolidate such entity. The Company has
determined that it is the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs which are presented in these
financial statements under Consolidated land inventory not owned with the interest of others
included in Minority interest. See Notes 2 and 3 for further discussion on the consolidation of
land option contracts and joint ventures.
(e) Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the March 31, 2006 presentation. In particular, Treasury Stock, Common Stock and
Additional Paid-in Capital, which were previously presented in aggregate, have been presented as
separate items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Stockholders
Equity.
Note 2. Housing and Land Inventory
Housing and land inventory includes homes completed, homes under construction, lots ready for
construction, model homes and land under and held for development which will be used in the
Companys homebuilding operations or sold as building lots to other homebuilders. The following
summarizes the components of housing and land inventory:

The Company capitalizes interest which is expensed as housing units and building lots are
sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, interest incurred and capitalized by the
Company was $12.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Capitalized interest expensed for the
same periods was $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
Capitalized costs are expensed as costs of sales on a specific identification basis or on a
relative value basis in proportion to anticipated revenue. Included in direct cost of sales is
$84.7 million of costs related to housing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 (March 31, 2005 $101.6 million) and $7.0 million of costs related to land sales and other revenues
(March 31, 2005 $2.4 million).
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into a number of option contracts to
acquire lots in the
future in accordance with specific terms and conditions of such agreements. Under these option
agreements,
the Company will fund deposits to secure the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in
time. The Company has evaluated its option contracts and determined that for those entities
considered to be VIEs, it is the primary beneficiary of options for 577 lots with an aggregate
exercise price of $18.9 million (December 31, 2005 577 lots with an aggregate exercise price of
$22.1 million), which are required to be consolidated. In these cases, the only asset recorded is
the Companys exercise price for the option to purchase, with an increase in minority interest of
$12.2 million (December 31, 2005 $18.3 million) for the assumed third party investment in the
VIE. Where the land sellers are not required to provide the Company financial information related
to the VIE, certain assumptions by the Company were required in its assessment as to whether or not
it is the primary beneficiary.

The Company holds agreements for a further 3,763 acres of land that may provide upon obtaining
entitlements additional lots. However, based on the current stage of land entitlement, the Company
has concluded at this time that the level of uncertainty in entitling these properties does not
warrant including them in the above totals.
Note 3. Investments in Housing and Land Joint Ventures
The Company participates in a number of joint ventures in which it has less than a controlling
interest. Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis of the joint ventures

In reporting the Companys share of net income, all inter-company profits or losses from
housing and land joint ventures are eliminated on lots purchased by the Company.
Joint ventures in which the Company has a non-controlling interest are accounted for using the
equity method. In addition, the Company has performed an evaluation of its existing joint venture
relationships by applying the provisions of FIN 46R. The Company has determined that for those
entities for which this interpretation applies, none of these joint ventures were considered to be
a VIE requiring consolidation pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46R.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amounts)
The Company and/or its joint venture partners have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt in
its joint ventures. At March 31, 2006, the Company had recourse guarantees of $2.7 million
(December 31, 2005 $2.0 million) and limited maintenance guarantees of $61.7 million (December
31, 2005 $91.6 million) with respect to debt in its joint ventures. As of March 31, 2006, the
fair market value of the recourse guarantees was insignificant.
Note 4. Earnings Per Share

Note 5. Stock Based Compensation
Pursuant to the Companys stock option plan, Brookfield Homes grants options to purchase shares of
the Companys common stock at market price of the shares on the day the options are granted. A
maximum of two million shares are authorized for issuance under the plan.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option grants in accordance with APB 25.
Accordingly, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of options as a liability using variable plan
accounting. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R using the
modified-prospective-transition method.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the incremental charge to net income before taxes and net income
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The
impact of adopting SFAS 123R on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was an additional expense of $0.01 per share.
Compensation expense related to the Companys stock options during the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $2.8 million (2005 $5.5 million). If the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R in 2005, there would be no change to net income before taxes, net income or earnings per
share.
The fair value of each of the Companys stock option awards is estimated at each reporting date
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The
fair value of the Companys stock option awards, which are subject to graded vesting, is expensed
over the vesting period of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility
of the Companys stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock
option award is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity equal
to the expected term of the stock option award granted. The Company uses historical data to
estimate stock option exercises and forfeitures within its valuation model. The expected term of
stock option awards granted for some participants is derived from historical exercise experience
under the Companys share-based payment plan and represents the period of time that stock option
awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected term of stock options granted for the
remaining participants is derived by using the short cut method.

Note 6. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Other
(a) The Company is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that none of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
(b) When selling a home, the Companys subsidiaries provide customers with a limited warranty. The
Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under each limited warranty and records a
liability in the amount of such costs
at the time the revenue associated with the sale of each home is recognized. In addition, the
Company has insurance in place where its subsidiaries are subject to the respective warranty
statutes in the State where the Company conducts business which range up to ten years for latent
construction defects. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include the number of
homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company
periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as
necessary. The
following table reflects the changes in the Companys warranty liability for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005:

(c) The Company entered into an interest rate swap contract during the third quarter of 2004
which effectively fixes $60.0 million of the Companys variable rate debt at 5.89% until the
contract expires in 2009. At March 31, 2006, the fair market value of the contract was $2.4 million and is included in receivables and other assets. During the second quarter of 2005, the
Company entered into an additional interest rate swap contract which effectively fixes $50.0 million of the Companys variable rate debt at 6.54% until the contract expires in 2010. At March 31, 2006, the fair market value of the contract was $1.1 million and is included in Receivables and
other assets. Income of $1.4 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006
and was included in Land and other revenues (March 31, 2005 $1.3 million). Both interest rate
swaps are recorded at fair market value because hedge accounting has not
been applied.

Note 7. Segment Information (as restated)
As defined in SFAS 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, we
have five operating segments. Historically, the Company has aggregated its operating segments into
one reportable segment. Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statement for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, we have concluded that we should revise our segment disclosure for
all periods presented by providing disclosure for each of our four reportable segments: Northern
California, Southland / Los Angeles, San Diego / Riverside, and the Washington D.C. Area. The
Companys fifth operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate
disclosure. See below for the accompanying consolidated financial statements that the Company has
restated to revise its segment disclosures for all periods presented.
The Company is a residential homebuilder and land developer. The Company is organized and manages
its business based on the geographical areas in which it operates. Each of the Companys segments
specialize in lot entitlement and development and the construction of single-family and
multi-family homes. The Company evaluates performance and allocates capital based primarily on
return on assets together with a number of other risk factors. Earnings performance is measured
using segment operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with
respect to future events and financial performance and that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including risks discussed in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A Risk Factors elsewhere in this report and in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Overview
We design, construct and market single-family and multi-family homes primarily to move-up and
luxury homebuyers and develop land for sale to other homebuilders. Our operations are currently
focused primarily in five regional markets: San Francisco Bay Area; Southland / Los Angeles; San
Diego / Riverside; Sacramento; and the Washington D.C. Area. Our goal is to maximize the total return on our common stockholders equity over the long term. We
plan to achieve this by actively managing our assets and creating value on the lots we own or
control.
We operate in the following geographic regions which are presented as our reportable segments:
Northern California (San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento), Southland / Los Angeles, San Diego /
Riverside and Washington D.C. Area. Our other operations that do not meet the quantitative
thresholds for separate disclosure are included in Corporate and Other.
The 29,660 lots that we control, 12,855 of which we own directly or through joint ventures, provide
a strong foundation for our future homebuilding business and visibility on our future cash flow and
earnings. The lots we own directly or through joint ventures represent approximately an eight year
lot supply, based on 2006 planned home closings of 1,625.
Homebuilding is our primary source of revenue and has represented approximately 90% of our total
revenue since 2001. Our operations are positioned to close annually between 1,600 and 2,000 homes.
Operating in markets with higher price points and catering to move-up and luxury buyers, our
average sales price for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $634,000 was well in excess of the
national average sales price. We also sell serviced and unserviced lots to other homebuilders
generally on an opportunistic basis where we can redeploy capital to an asset providing higher
returns or reduce risk, in a market. We have previously announced the possible sale of 1,500 lots.
To date, we have closed 386 of these lots for net income of $13 million, or $0.46 per share.
In addition to our housing and land inventory and investments in housing and land joint ventures
which together comprised 87% of our total assets as of March 31, 2006, we had $64 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $92 million in other assets. Other assets consist of homebuyer receivables
of $12 million, deferred income taxes of $49 million, and mortgages and other receivables of $31
million. Homebuyer receivables consist primarily of proceeds due from homebuyers on the closing of
homes.
Since 2001, our revenues and net income have grown at compounded annual growth rates of 12% and
53%, respectively. Over the same period, we generated over $400 million in operating cash flow that
was used mainly to return cash to shareholders. At the same time, we believe we have positioned our
business for future growth through the selective optioning or acquisition of a significant number
of large projects and the level of lots controlled. Our recent growth is primarily the result of
strong economic fundamentals in the markets in which we operate and our success in acquiring

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Net Income
Net income was $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, consistent with the three
months ended March 31, 2005.
Results of Operations
Company-wide: Housing revenues were $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a
decrease of $21 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in housing revenue
for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was due primarily to a decrease in home closings.
The gross margin on housing revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $37 million or
31% compared with $41 million or 29% for the same period in 2005. The increase in the gross margin
percentage is due to a higher percentage of home closings in San Diego and the Washington D.C. Area
where our housing margins are the highest as we are building on land that we entitled and
developed.
Northern California: Housing revenues were $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a
decrease of $21 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in housing revenue
for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was due to a decrease in home closings, partially offset by an increase in the
average selling price. The gross margin on housing revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $2 million or 27% compared with
$8 million or 27% for the same period in 2005.
Southland / Los Angeles: Housing revenues were $14 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006, a decrease of $11 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease is
primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price. The gross margin on housing revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $3 million or 23% compared with $5 million or 20% for the
same period in 2005.
San Diego / Riverside: Housing revenues were $30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
a decrease of
$19 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease is due to a decrease in home
closings, partially offset by an increase in the average selling price. The gross margin on housing
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $10 million or 34% compared with $18 million
or 36% for the same period in 2005.
14
Washington D.C. Area: Housing revenues were $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
an increase of $23 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in housing
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due to an increase in home closings and an
increase in the average selling price. The gross margin on housing revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was $21 million or 33% compared with $12 million or 31%.
Company-wide: Land and other revenues totaled $21 million for the three ended March 31, 2006, an
increase of $12 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in land and other
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to an increase in the number
of lots sold. Our land revenues may vary significantly from period to period due to the timing and
the nature of land sales, as they generally occur on an opportunistic basis.
The gross margin on land and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $14
million compared
with $7 million for the same period in 2005. The increase is due to the bulk sale of 114 lots which
contributed $8 million to our gross margin.
San Diego / Riverside: Land and other revenues totaled $13 million for the three months ended March
31, 2006, compared to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in land and other
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due to the sale of 115 lots.
Washington D.C. Area: Land and other revenues totaled $5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2006, an increase of $1 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Equity in earnings from housing and land joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2006
was $1 million, a decrease of $6 million, over the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease
in earnings was primarily a result of the bulk sale of 41 lots during the three months ended March 31, 2005 in Southern California held in a joint venture, which contributed earnings of $5 million.
Other Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expense was $19 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. These expenses typically vary with
the level of housing revenues. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
selling, general and administrative expense included stock compensation costs of $5 million and $9
million, respectively.
Sales Activity
Net new orders for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 totaled 227 units, compared to 517 units in the
first quarter of 2005. The decline in net new orders was primarily in the San Diego/Riverside and
Washington D.C. markets with 251 fewer net new orders, when compared to the first quarter of 2005,
resulting from a slower, and more competitive market environment. The decline of 48 units in new
orders in the San Francisco Bay Area market is a result of fewer homes available for sale with only
one active selling community. In January 2006, the Company forecasted 3,125 home and bulk lot
closings for 2006. With the current San Diego/Riverside and Washington market conditions, it will
be mid-summer 2006 when a better assessment of the 2006 home closings will be made. The Company
continues to anticipate bulk lot sale closings of 1,500 units during 2006, of which 386 units have
been closed to-date for net income of $13 million or $0.46 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial Position
Our total assets as of March 31, 2006 were $1,235 million, a decrease of $95 million compared to
December 31, 2005. The decrease is due primarily to decreases in cash and cash equivalents and in
receivables and other assets, partially offset by an increase in housing and land inventory.
Our total debt as of March 31, 2006 was $672 million, a decrease of $19 million compared to
December 31, 2005. Total debt as of March 31, 2006 consisted mainly of project specific financings,
which represent construction and development loans that are repaid from home and lot sales
proceeds. As new homes are constructed, further loan facilities are arranged on a rolling basis.
Our major project specific lenders are Bank of America, Housing Capital Corporation and Wells
Fargo. Other debt comprises deferred compensation on which interest is paid at prime, loans
outstanding relating
to mortgages we originated that are repaid when the underlying mortgages are sold to permanent
lenders, and project specific financings related to our other operations. As of March 31, 2006, the
average interest rate on our debt was 7.9%, with maturities as follows:

Cash Flow
Our principal uses of working capital include purchases of land, land development and home
construction. Cash flows for each of our communities depend upon the applicable stage of the
development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development
require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, site approvals and entitlements,
construction of model homes, roads, certain utilities and other amenities and general landscaping.
Because these costs are capitalized, income reported for financial statement purposes during such
early stages may significantly exceed cash flow. Later, cash flow can significantly exceed earnings
reported for financial statement purposes, as cost of sales includes charges for substantial
amounts of previously expended costs. A summary of lots owned and their stage of development at
March 31, 2006 compared with the same period last year follows:

Cash used in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $87
million compared with
cash used of $84 million for the same period in 2005. We normally invest capital in the first half
of a year as we build out our backlog of homes. We also purchased 800 lots previously held under
option for $17 million.
Cash used in our investing activities in joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2006
was $8 million, compared with cash provided of $10 million for the same period in 2005. The
decrease in cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2006 is primarily a result of
contributions of capital in our joint ventures in San Diego during
the three months ended March 31,
2006 and the bulk sale of 41 lots in Southern California during the three months ended March 31,
2005.
Cash used by our financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2006 was $39 million
compared
with cash provided of $12 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in cash flow is
primarily due to an increase in share repurchases and repayment of debt.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Our contractual obligations and other commitments have not changed materially from those reported
in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
We generally fund the development of our communities through the use of project specific
financings. As of March 31, 2006, we had available project specific debt lines of $262 million that
were available to complete land development and construction activities.
A total of $626 million of our project specific and other financings mature prior to the end of
2007. The high level of maturities in 2006 and 2007 is due to our expected project completions over
this period. Although the level of our maturing debt is high, we expect to generate sufficient cash
flow from our assets in 2006 and 2007 to repay these obligations. Our net debt to total
capitalization ratio as of March 31, 2006, which is defined as total interest-bearing debt less
cash divided by total interest-bearing debt less cash plus stockholders equity and minority
interest, was 65% compared to 61% at December 31, 2005. For a description of the specific risks
facing us if, for any reason, we are
unable to meet these obligations, refer to the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
year ended December 31, 2005 entitled Risk Factors Our Debt and Leverage Could Adversely Affect
our Financial Condition.
In connection with our project specific financings, Brookfield Homes Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary, is required to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $250 million. In addition, our
project specific financings require
Brookfield Homes Holdings Inc. to maintain a net debt to capitalization ratio of no greater than
65% and a debt to tangible net worth ratio of no greater than 1.75 to 1.
16
During the third quarter of 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap contract which effectively
fixes $60 million of our variable rate debt at 5.89% until the contract expires in 2009. During
the second quarter of 2005, we entered into
an additional interest rate swap contract that effectively fixes $50 million of our variable rate
debt at 6.54% until the
contract expires in 2010. At March 31, 2006, the fair market value of these contracts was $3.5
million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we use lot option contracts and joint ventures to acquire
control of land to mitigate the risk of declining land values. Option contracts for the purchase of
land permit us to control lots for an extended period of time, until options expire and/or we are
ready to construct homes or sell the land. This reduces our financial risk associated with land
holdings. As of March 31, 2006, we had $81 million of primarily non-refundable option deposits and
advanced costs. The total exercise price of these options is $796 million. Pursuant to FIN 46R, as
defined in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A,
we have consolidated $19 million of these option contracts.
Please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A
for additional information on our lot options.
We also control 4,160 lots through joint ventures, formed to own housing and land assets with joint
venture partners. As of March 31, 2006, our investment in housing and land joint ventures was $61
million. We have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt in our joint ventures. As of March
31, 2006, we had recourse guarantees of $3 million and limited maintenance guarantees of $62
million with respect to debt in our joint ventures.
We obtain letters of credit, performance bonds and other bonds to support our obligations with
respect to the development of our projects. The amount of these obligations outstanding at any time
varies in accordance with our development activities. If these letters of credit or bonds are drawn
upon, we will be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or bonds. As of March
31, 2006, we had for these purposes $26 million in letters of credit outstanding and $265 million
in performance bonds. The costs to complete related to our letters of credit and performance bonds
are $21 million and $124 million, respectively. We do not believe that any of these letters of
credit or bonds are likely to be drawn upon.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the United States federal securities laws. The words may, believe, will, anticipate,
expect, estimate, project, future, and other expressions that are predictions of or
indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A
include, among others, statements with respect to:
|
|
expected home closings and project completions and the timing thereof; |
|
|
targeted lot sales and the proceeds thereof; |
|
|
estimates of revenues and cash flows; |
|
|
the visibility on our future cash flow and earnings; |
|
|
sources of future growth; |
|
|
the effect of interest rate changes on our cash flows; |
|
|
the effect on our business of existing lawsuits; and |
|
|
whether or not our letters of credit or performance bonds will be drawn upon. |
Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to differ
materially from the anticipated future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forward in
the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
|
|
changes in general economic, real estate and other conditions; |
|
|
availability of suitable undeveloped land at acceptable prices; |
|
|
adverse legislation or regulation; |
|
|
ability to obtain necessary permits and approvals for the development of our land; |
|
|
availability of labor or materials or increases in their costs; |
17
|
|
ability to develop and market our master-planned communities successfully; |
|
|
confidence levels of consumers; |
|
|
ability to raise capital on favorable terms; |
|
|
adverse weather conditions and natural disasters; |
|
|
relations with the residents of our communities; |
|
|
risks associated with increased insurance costs or unavailability of adequate coverage; |
|
|
ability to obtain surety bonds; |
|
|
competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry, including product and pricing pressures; and |
|
|
|
additional risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, referred to in our Form
10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our other SEC filings. |
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements unless required by
law, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further
disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be
consulted.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Exchange Rates
We conduct business in U.S. dollars only, so we are not exposed to currency risks.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to financial risks that arise from the fluctuations in interest rates. Our interest
bearing assets and liabilities are mainly at floating rates, so we would be negatively affected, on
balance, if interest rates increase. In addition, we have an interest rate swap contract which
effectively fixes $60 million of our variable rate debt at 5.89% and an interest rate swap contract
which effectively fixes $50 million of our variable interest rate debt at 6.54%. Based on our net
debt levels as of March 31, 2006, a 1% change up or down in interest rates would have either a
negative or positive effect of approximately $5 million on our cash flows.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of our fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2006, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Exchange Act)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon
that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of such fiscal quarter, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective: (i) to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As described in Note 7 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we have restated our
Note 7 to the
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements to disaggregate our operations into four reportable
segments. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, has re-evaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report to determine whether the restatement
changes their prior conclusion, and have determined that it does not change their conclusion that
at March 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The restatement
represents a change in judgment under current practice as to the application of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. The treatment of our homebuilding business as a single, national, reportable segment
was in accordance with the practice followed by substantially all the large, geographically diverse
homebuilders that file reports with the SEC. The change in the way we report segment information
did not result in any change to the Companys unaudited consolidated balance sheets, unaudited
consolidated statements of income, unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders equity and
unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for any of the periods presented.
18
It should be noted that while our management, including the CEO and CFO, believe our disclosure
controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that such controls and procedures
are effective, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls
will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are
met.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March
31, 2006, 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
We are party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. We
believe that none of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Not applicable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that allows us to repurchase in
aggregate up to $109 million of our outstanding common shares. Since the initial approval of the
program in February 2003, the following annual share repurchases have been made under the program:
2003 1,192,749 shares at an average price of $18.19; 2004 76,400 shares at an average price of
$25.39; 2005 707,500 shares at an average price of $47.81. In addition, during the first quarter
of 2006 we repurchased 199,500 shares at an average price of $48.58. At March 31, 2006, the
remaining amount approved for repurchases is $42 million. Separately, during the fourth quarter of
2005 we repurchased 3,000,000 of our shares through a fixed price tender offer at a purchase price
of $55.00 per share.
