Rewritten

The homebuilding industry has continued to experience a significant downturn as a result of [removed: declining] [added: low] consumer confidence driven by an economic recession, high unemployment levels, affordability issues and uncertainty as to the stability of home prices.

Rewritten

A continued downturn in the homebuilding industry could [removed: result in] [added: have] a material adverse effect on our sales [removed: (fewer] [added: either through fewer] gross sales and/or higher cancellation [removed: rates),] [added: rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our] profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.

Rewritten

We must, in the ordinary course of our business, continuously seek and make acquisitions of lots for expansion into new markets as well as for replacement and expansion within our current markets, which is [added: generally] accomplished by us entering fixed price purchase agreements and paying forfeitable deposits under the purchase agreement to developers for the contractual right to acquire the lots.

Rewritten

We sell all of the loans we originate into the secondary mortgage market generally within 30 [added: to 60] days from origination.

Rewritten

Our mortgage [removed: segment] [added: banking business] sells all of the loans it originates into the secondary market usually within 30 [added: to 60] days from the date of closing, and has up to approximately [removed: $100] [added: $25] million available in a repurchase agreement to fund mortgage closings.

Rewritten

In the event that [added: other] disruptions to the secondary markets similar to [added: this and to] those which occurred during 2007 and 2008 continue to tighten or eliminate the available liquidity within the secondary markets for mortgage loans, or the underwriting requirements by our secondary market investors continue to become more stringent, our ability to sell future mortgages could decline and we could be required, among other things, to fund our commitments to our buyers with our own financial resources, which is limited, or require our home buyers to find another source of financing.

Rewritten

In particular, approximately [removed: 37%] [added: 35%] of our home settlements during [removed: 2010] [added: 2011] occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, which accounted for [removed: 47%] [added: approximately 46%] of our homebuilding revenues in [removed: 2010.][added: 2011.]

Rewritten

Our [removed: homebuilding] [added: mortgage banking] operations are dependent in part on the [removed: availability and] [added: availability,] cost [added: and other terms] of [removed: working capital financing,] [added: mortgage financing facilities,] and may be adversely affected by [removed: a] [added: any] shortage or [removed: an increase in the] [added: increased] cost of such financing.

Rewritten

In addition, we have from time to time been subject to, and may also be subject in the future to, periodic delays in our homebuilding projects due to building moratoriums in the areas in which we [removed: operate.]

Rewritten

We are an approved seller/servicer of [removed: FNMA,] [added: FNMA mortgage loans and an approved lender/seller of] GNMA, FHLMC, [removed: FHA and] VA [added: and FHA] mortgage loans, and are subject to all of those agencies’ rules and regulations.

In October 2011, Bank of America discontinued their correspondent lending program.

New in FY2011

As a result, this reduced the number of investors available in our loan sale distribution channels, increasing the loan volume of the remaining correspondent investors and in turn lengthening the time period it takes for us to sell loans and increasing our inventory of mortgages held for sale at December 31, 2011.

However, [removed: current] economic conditions and the continued downturn of the homebuilding industry have exerted pressure on our developers’ ability to obtain acquisition and development financing or to raise equity investments to finance land development activity, potentially constraining our supply of finished lots.

Rewritten

Once we acquire control of any raw ground, we [removed: will] determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into a fixed price purchase agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots, or whether [removed: we will] [added: to] hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf.

Rewritten

As of December 31, [removed: 2010,] [added: 2011,] we controlled approximately [removed: 50,400] [added: 48,200] lots under purchase agreements with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately [removed: $174,300] [added: $202,300] and [removed: $6,600,] [added: $3,200,] respectively.

Homebuilding revenues for 2010 increased 11% from 2009, as a result of an 11%, [removed: or 988 unit,] increase in the number of homes settled.

Rewritten

[removed: The increase in the number of homes settled was primarily attributable to the impact of the] federal homebuyer tax credit which resulted in strong first quarter sales and increased settlements through the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Rewritten

Homebuilding revenues for [removed: 2009] [added: 2011] decreased [removed: 26%] [added: 12%] from [removed: 2008,] [added: 2010,] as a result of a [removed: 16%, or 1,699 unit,] [added: 15%] decrease in the number of homes [removed: settled and] [added: settled, offset partially by] a [removed: 12% decrease] [added: 4% increase] in the average settlement [removed: price.][added: price year over year.]

Rewritten

[removed: Since] [added: From] the first quarter of 2010, we experienced a consistent decline in the number of new orders across all of our markets in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010 compared to the respective periods in 2009.

Rewritten

The increase in the average price of new orders [added: year over year,] was attributable to a product mix shift away from our attached products to our detached product which generally sell at higher price points.

Rewritten

[removed: We expect to] [added: As discussed in the _Overview_ section above, we] continue to face selling pressure [removed: over the next several quarters] [added: in most of our markets] due to continuing economic [removed: uncertainties, including] [added: uncertainty, driven by] low consumer confidence and high unemployment [removed: rates, as discussed in the Overview section above.][added: rates.]

Rewritten

[removed: New] [added: Segment new] orders in [removed: 2009] [added: 2011] increased [removed: by 7%] [added: 5%] compared to [removed: 2008,] [added: 2010,] while the average sales price of new orders decreased [removed: 6%] [added: 5%] year over year.

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, new] [added: New] orders [removed: in 2009] were favorably impacted by [removed: higher absorption rates, offsetting] the [removed: 17% decrease] [added: increase] in the [removed: average] number of active communities year over year.

Rewritten

The increase in SG&A expenses was attributable to an approximate $13,500 increase in stock-based compensation costs in 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, due to the grant of non-qualified stock options and restricted share units under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, offset partially by a reversal of approximately $6,600 in stock-based compensation expense previously recorded to [removed: SG&A expense as we adjusted our stock option forfeiture estimates to our actual forfeiture experience.]

Rewritten

SG&A expense was also higher due to an approximate $5,600 increase in management incentive costs as 2009 incentive [added: plans were limited to payouts of 50% of incentive earned, while no similar restrictions were imposed on 2010 incentive compensation.]

Rewritten

Expressed as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the period, our cancellation rate was approximately 14% in [removed: both] [added: each of 2011,] 2010 and [removed: 2009, and 23% in 2008.][added: 2009.]

Additionally, we controlled approximately 6,700 lots through joint venture limited liability corporations with an aggregate investment of approximately $89,500.

New in FY2011

Of the lots controlled by the joint ventures, approximately 2,700 were not under contract at December 31, 2011.

New in FY2011

The sluggish economy and high unemployment rates continue to weigh on consumer confidence and in turn, suppress housing demand.

New in FY2011

In addition, new home sales and selling prices continue to be pressured by market uncertainty surrounding home prices and by a more restrictive mortgage lending environment.

New in FY2011

As a result, our new orders, net of cancellations (“new orders”), for 2011 were down 2% from the prior year while our average new order selling price of $304.1 remained flat year over year.

New in FY2011

Gross profit margins in 2011 within our homebuilding business were negatively impacted by pricing pressure and increased construction and sales incentive costs year over year, declining to 17.1% from 18.2% in 2010.

Consolidated revenues totaled $2,659,149 for 2011, a decrease of 13% from $3,041,892 in 2010.

New in FY2011

Net income declined 37% to $129,420 in 2011 from the prior year and diluted earnings per share declined 31% to $23.01 year over year.

New in FY2011

Further, our expectation of continued sales and pricing pressures has been factored into the impairment analysis of our homebuilding inventory, land under development and contract land deposits.

New in FY2011

We assess our land under development, including land under development held in joint ventures, and contract land deposits each quarter for impairment on a community-by-community basis by considering, among other items, overall market and economic conditions, and analyzing, as applicable, current sales absorption levels and recent sales’ gross profit.

New in FY2011

At this time, we do not believe that any of the land under development is impaired, and we consider the allowance for losses on contract land deposits reflected on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet to be adequate.

New in FY2011

Further, we believe that our homebuilding inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.

New in FY2011

Average settlement prices in the current year were favorably impacted by an 8% higher average price of homes in the beginning backlog entering 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

We expect to face continued sales and pricing pressure over the next several quarters until we see economic stability and improved consumer confidence levels.

New in FY2011

Gross profit margins in 2011 declined to 17.1% from 18.2% in 2010.

New in FY2011

As discussed in the _Overview_ section above, gross profit margins in 2011 were negatively impacted by pricing pressure and increased construction and sales incentive costs.

New in FY2011

SG&A expenses in 2011 increased approximately $6,900, or 3%, compared to 2010 and as a percentage of revenue increased to 10.1% in 2011 from 8.6% in the prior year.

New in FY2011

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to an approximate $10,500 increase in equity-based compensation costs in 2011 compared to 2010.

New in FY2011

The increase in equity-based compensation resulted primarily from the favorable impact in 2010 of a reversal of approximately $6,600 in equity-based compensation expense related to an adjustment of our stock option forfeiture estimates to our actual forfeiture experience, while there was no forfeiture adjustment recorded in 2011.

New in FY2011

In addition, the increase in equity-based compensation expense in 2011 resulted from incurring a full year of expense in 2011 for non-qualified stock options and restricted share units granted in the second quarter of 2010 under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.

New in FY2011

This increase in SG&A expenses was partially offset by an approximate $4,100 decrease in personnel costs, primarily driven by a $7,800 decline in management incentives year over year.

New in FY2011

SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of revenue due to the aforementioned 12% decrease in revenues year over year.

New in FY2011

The increase in backlog units was primarily attributable to the decreased settlement activity in 2011 as discussed above.

New in FY2011

Backlog dollars were favorably impacted by the backlog unit increase, offset partially by a 4% decline in the average price of homes in backlog in 2011 compared to 2010.

In addition, we controlled approximately 1,100 lots through joint ventures.

Dropped from FY2010

The market stabilization we had experienced toward the end of 2009 and into the first quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by the April 30, 2010 expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit.

Dropped from FY2010

After April 30, 2010, new home sales experienced sharp declines, providing evidence that rather than increasing overall demand, the tax credit may have merely accelerated existing demand.

Dropped from FY2010

The current home sales environment continues to be adversely impacted by high inventory levels, low consumer confidence driven by high unemployment rates, and a highly restrictive mortgage lending environment that has made it more difficult for our customers to obtain mortgage financing.

Dropped from FY2010

Our new orders for 2010 remained flat with new orders in 2009, however, new housing demand declined in both the third and fourth quarters of 2010 from the higher new order results experienced in the first two quarters of 2010.

Dropped from FY2010

In addition, cancellation rates increased to 18% in both the third and fourth quarters of 2010, compared to 14% and 15% in the third and fourth quarters of 2009, respectively, and 12% in the second quarter of 2010.

Consolidated revenues totaled $3,041,892 for 2010, an increase of 11% from $2,743,848 in 2009.

Dropped from FY2010

The increase in revenues was driven by increased home settlements primarily resulting from the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit in the second quarter of 2010.

The decrease in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to our beginning backlog units being approximately 39%, or 1,981 units, lower entering 2009 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2008, offset partially by a higher backlog turnover rate period over period.

Average settlement prices were impacted primarily by a 15% lower

Dropped from FY2010

average price of homes in the beginning backlog entering 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, coupled with a 9% decline in the average sales price of new orders for the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

The increase in new orders in 2009 was in part attributable to a 47% increase in new orders in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, a period in which we experienced a significant drop-off in new orders due to a sharp decline in overall economic conditions.

Dropped from FY2010

We believe new orders in 2009 were also favorably impacted by the first-time homebuyer federal tax credit as well as by a decrease in the cancellation rate to 14% in 2009 from 23% in 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

During 2009, to meet affordability issues in many of our markets, we altered our product offerings to provide smaller, lower priced products.

Dropped from FY2010

Gross profit margins in 2009 improved to 18.5% compared to 12.6% in 2008 primarily due to a favorable variance in contract land deposit impairment charges year over year.

In 2009 we recognized the recovery of approximately $6,500, or 24 basis points, of contract land deposits previously determined to be uncollectible.

Dropped from FY2010

In 2008 we recognized a contract land deposit impairment charge of approximately $165,000, or 454 basis points.

Dropped from FY2010

Gross profit margins in 2009 were also favorably impacted as a result of us exiting a significant number of poor performing communities in 2008 which were producing lower gross profit margins.

Dropped from FY2010

In addition, gross profit margins in 2009 were favorably impacted by lower lumber and certain other commodity costs as well as by cost control measures implemented to reduce subcontractor and material costs in prior periods.

SG&A expenses in 2009 decreased approximately $75,600 compared to 2008, but increased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 8.7% in 2009 from 8.5% in 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to a $36,300 decrease in selling and marketing costs in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a 17% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year to 355 in 2009 from 427 in 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

In addition, personnel costs were down approximately $26,900 due primarily to 24% decrease in average staffing levels year over year.

_Consolidated Homebuilding — Other Charges_

Dropped from FY2010

We reassessed our goodwill and intangible asset balances for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of the continuing declines in new orders and backlog in 2008, and the continuing deterioration of the homebuilding environment in each of our markets spurred further in 2008 by the credit crisis in the latter part of 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

As a result of that assessment, we determined that the goodwill and intangible assets related to our Rymarc Homes and Fox Ridge Homes operations were fully impaired and we wrote-off a total of $11,686 related to such assets in 2008.

Dropped from FY2010

The ROE requested that we correct or otherwise address the alleged violations and in some instances requested that we undertake an examination of all of our other loans in North Carolina to determine whether similar alleged violations may have occurred, and if so, to take corrective action.

Dropped from FY2010

We responded to the ROE by letter dated June 10, 2010, contesting the findings and allegations, providing factual information to correct certain of the findings, and refuting the NCCOB’s interpretation of applicable law.

Dropped from FY2010

On November 15, 2010, the NCCOB provided a written response to our June 10, 2010 letter

Dropped from FY2010

closing certain alleged violations while reasserting certain others.

Dropped from FY2010

On January 12, 2011, we responded to the NCCOB’s November 15, 2010 letter providing additional factual information to address the remaining findings and refuting the NCCOB’s interpretation of applicable law.

Dropped from FY2010

Accordingly, while the outcome of the matter is currently not determinable, we do not expect resolution of the matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
