NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(In thousands, except share data)
1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of September 30, 2002 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by management without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2001 audited financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such financial information have been included. 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. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Certain amounts in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. | ||
The Company historically has experienced and expects to continue to experience variability in quarterly results. The consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | ||
2. | Changes in Shareholders Equity | |
During March 2002, the Company issued 7,935,000 shares of common stock in a public offering realizing approximately $138,201 in aggregate net proceeds. The net proceeds were used to repay approximately $51,095 of outstanding construction loans, $62,100 of the outstanding balance of the revolver portion of the senior secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. | ||
3. | New Accounting Pronouncements | |
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which supercedes SFAS 121 and APB 30. SFAS 144 retains the requirements of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of an impairment loss on long-lived assets, and establishes a single accounting model for all long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations. | ||
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. In addition to rescinding SFAS 4, 44 and 64 and amending SFAS 13, SFAS 145 establishes a financial reporting standard for classification of extinguishment of debt in the financial statements in accordance with APB 30. SFAS 145 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. | ||
In June 2002, the FASB approved SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. |

4. | Segment Information | |
The Company has reorganized its business segments to more accurately reflect its operational structure and, as a result, segment information for the prior period has been reclassified to conform to the current operating structure. The Company operates in four principal business segments: Mid- and High-rise Homebuilding; Single and Multi-family Homebuilding, which includes sales of lots; Amenity Membership and Operations; and Real Estate Services, which includes brokerage, mortgage banking, title and property management operations. Land sales and other has been disclosed for purposes of additional analysis. Asset information by business segment is not presented, since the Company does not prepare such information. |

8. Goodwill and Other Intangibles and Implementation of SFAS 142 | ||
Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 provides guidance on accounting for intangible assets and eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, intangible assets, including goodwill, that are not subject to amortization will be tested for impairment annually. The Company completed the required tests for impairment of goodwill and does not currently believe its goodwill is impaired. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has allocated goodwill to its operating segments as follows: |
Homebuilding |
$ | 16,097 | ||
Amenity membership and operations |
5,365 | |||
Real estate services |
7,359 | |||
$ | 28,821 | |||
Intangible assets subject to amortization had accumulated amortization of $1,509 and $1,152 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows: |

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreased 13.0% and increased 8.8%, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. During the first nine months of 2002, we achieved a significant increase in revenues and earnings driven primarily by a larger number and greater value of sold tower units under construction and higher margins and average unit selling price in traditional homebuilding operations. The decline in revenues, contribution margin and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the likely default of five tower unit purchasers on their contracts in one tower in the Southwest region and the likely cancellation of 48 contracts by purchasers in another tower in the Southwest region. The combined impact to revenues and contribution margin of the estimated defaults and cancellations on the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was approximately $35.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we recognized a $2.0 million (net of tax) extraordinary loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early repayment of our senior secured credit facility and Sun City Center Golf Properties promissory note. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we recognized a $2.0 million (net of tax) extraordinary loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early repayment of debt in conjunction with the offering of $250 million and $100 million in senior subordinated notes. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 61.0% and increased 11.4% as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. As of January 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 and accordingly, no longer amortize goodwill. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, amortization of goodwill was approximately $803,000 and $2.4 million, respectively.
In March 2002, we issued 7,935,000 shares of common stock in a public offering realizing approximately $138.2 million in net proceeds. Our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the issuance of common stock contributed to a 47.4% increase in shareholders equity to $617.9 million at September 30, 2002. The increase in shareholders equity and the use of initial public offering proceeds for repayment of existing debt contributed to a reduction in the debt-to-capitalization ratio to 54.6% at September 30, 2002 compared to 62.0% at December 31, 2001.

Revenues decreased 1.3% and 6.3% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the respective periods was primarily attributable to the decrease in the number of homes delivered during the periods partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of these homes. The decrease in deliveries is directly related to reduced sales as a result of the events that occurred on September 11, 2001, which contributed to a decline in the unit backlog at the beginning of 2002 compared to the beginning of 2001. The average selling price per home closed in the respective periods as compared to the same periods in 2001 increased as a result of closing a larger proportion of homes in our higher priced communities located in the Southeast, Palm Beach and Southwest Florida regions.
Lot revenues increased 232.5% and decreased 3.5% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The increase in lot revenues during the quarter as compared to the same period last year is primarily related to the sale of lots in close-out communities located in our Southwest and Southeast regions and the sale of additional lots in our Palm Beach region.
Home sales contribution margin percentage increased 210 and 470 basis points for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The increases were due primarily to our ability to raise home prices, higher margins on options and upgrades, and ongoing initiatives to reduce development and construction costs. Our ability to raise home prices in the future may be adversely impacted by the current economic and stock market conditions and softening in the demand for certain new home offerings.
The contract values of new orders decreased 0.8% and increased 1.1% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The increase in net new orders for the nine months was primarily attributable to the addition of three new communities in the Palm Beach, Southwest
18
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
and Central Florida regions, and increased sales at existing communities throughout other regions, offset by the sell out and/or reduced available inventory in four communities located in the Southeast, Southwest, Central and Palm Beach Florida regions. The average sales price per new order for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001 was down slightly due to the mix of units sold. The 13.5% increase in backlog contract values was primarily the result of an 8.4% increase in the average sales price of homes under contract to $388,000 in 2002 compared to $358,000 in 2001.

Towers under construction recognizing revenue |

Revenues decreased 40.9% and increased 23.4% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. Contribution margin percentage decreased to 31.4% from 45.3% and to 38.2% from 44.4% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The decline in contribution margin percentage was due primarily to the cancellation and default of contracts for 53 units described below and also reflects an anticipated decline compared to prior periods due to (1) a change in the mix of units sold and in backlog toward a greater proportion of lower-priced, lower-margin units and (2) the completion during August and September 2002 of two high-margin towers.
A portion of the decrease in revenues ($35.4 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 was due to the reversal of revenue previously recognized on a total of 53 units located in two towers in our Southwest region. The remaining decrease in revenues ($15.7 million) for the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2001 is due to changes in timing of initial tower revenue recognition between periods. In 2001, two luxury towers containing a total of 69 sold units reported initial revenues in the third quarter. Only one small tower currently under construction reported initial revenues in the third quarter of 2002.
During the third quarter of 2002, we were notified that the purchasers of five units with a contract value of $10.1 million in a tower located in our Southwest region intended to default on their contracts. We intend to retain the deposits totaling $2.9 million, securing performance of such contracts, but we also continue to negotiate to accomplish some of the closings for these five units. Based upon these likely defaults, we have reversed the
19
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
revenue and resulting contribution margin previously recognized on these five units, net of forfeited deposits, which had a $3.9 million impact on third quarter 2002 contribution margin.
Additionally, earlier this year during the course of construction of an 82 unit tower located in our Southwest region, we failed to include the proper notification required under Florida administrative rules when sending out amendments of condominium documents to purchasers. This required notice is now being given to the purchasers of the 48 units affording them a 15 day right to rescind their contracts. Of the 82 units, 48 were previously subject to sales contracts aggregating $31.0 million. Because of the deterioration in the economic conditions since mid 2001, we expect that most, if not all, of the purchasers of these 48 units will exercise their rescission rights and cancel their contracts. Based upon the foregoing, we have reversed the revenue and resulting contribution margin previously recognized on these units during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, resulting in a reduction of revenue and contribution margin in the amounts of $25.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, was primarily attributable to an increase in the cumulative contract values in those towers that qualified for recognition of revenue, offset by a reversal of revenue from the two towers discussed above. We delivered tower units or met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition in 17 towers in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 13 towers in the same period in 2001.
The contract values of new orders decreased 48.6% and 28.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001. The average selling price of new orders decreased 42.4% and 18.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001. The decrease in contract values of new orders and average selling price relates to the cancellation and default of contracts for 53 units valued at $41.1 million in two towers in our Southwest region and a shift in product mix toward less expensive tower units being sold compared to the same periods last year. While it was expected that the average selling price for tower units being sold during 2002 would be lower than the same period last year due to a planned shift of mix of buildings being initially marketed this year, the average selling price is also lower because market conditions have accelerated absorption of lower priced units and slowed absorption of higher priced units.
The decrease in backlog contract values is due to the increased amount of cumulative revenues recognized in the towers under construction, which reflects the advancing percentage of completion of those towers, offset by a 12.6% increase in the cumulative value of all units under contract with purchasers. This increase in cumulative contract values reflects a 35.5% increase in the number of tower units under contract at September 30, 2002, compared to September 30, 2001, offset by a 21.4% decrease in the average value of these units to $1.1 million as compared to $1.4 million one year earlier.
Amenity membership and operations
Amenity membership and operating revenues increased 28.1% and 15.3% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. Equity membership and marina slip sales increased 93.4% and 69.2% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively, while membership dues and amenity service revenues increased 1.1% and decreased 4.4% for the same periods. The increase in equity membership and marina slip revenues for the three and nine months was attributable primarily to marina slip sales at our Gulf Harbour community. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable primarily to the turnover of our Gateway Golf and Country Club to its members in December 2001, and the reduction in marina slip rental revenues at Gulf Harbour due to the slip sales program, offset by revenues from several new club facilities located in the Southwest Florida region.
Amenity membership and operations contribution margin increased 880 and 180 basis points for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The
20
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
increase in the respective periods was attributable to an increase in the sales of higher margin equity membership and marina slip sales offset by operating deficits associated with the opening of amenity operations at our new communities during the respective periods.
Future amenity contribution margins may be adversely impacted by the reduced availability of marina slips, increased operating deficits associated with new amenity operations and general market conditions.
Real estate services, land sales and other
As further discussed below, real estate services, land sales and other revenues increased 48.4% and 6.1% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively.
Real Estate Services
Real estate services revenues, including brokerage, mortgage banking and title operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, were $23.1 million and $67.6 million, respectively, compared to $18.2 million and $52.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2001. Real estate services revenues increased during the respective periods as a result of the increase in brokerage and title revenues, which was related to an increase in the volume of transactions and an increase in the average sales price per transaction from third-party, non-WCI homebuilding customers. Real estate services contribution margin increased 110 and 180 basis points for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively, as a result of the growth in volume of transactions and controlling overhead costs in the respective periods.
Land Sales
Land sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $7.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, compared to $660,000 and $19.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2001. The increase in land revenues for the three months ended was primarily attributable to the planned sale of several commercial parcels located in our Southeast region. The decrease in land sales revenues for the nine months ended was primarily attributable to the sell-out of the few residential parcels that were not designated for homebuilding, while commercial parcel sales decreased primarily as a result of fewer available parcels for sale. Land sales contribution margin increased 765 and 280 basis points for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively, as a result of the change in mix and location of the parcels sold.
Other
Other revenues, including equity in earnings of joint ventures, management fees and other non-operating income, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $193,000 and $3.8 million, respectively compared to $1.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively for the same period in 2001. The decrease in the respective periods is primarily related to the decline in equity in earnings of joint ventures. Certain joint ventures contributed to the decline in equity in earnings including a residential joint venture which is approaching sell-out and a timeshare joint venture which is in the process of marketing the first phase of development.
Interest expense, net of capitalization
Interest expense, net of capitalization, decreased 7.8% and 13.2% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. Interest incurred for the respective periods increased 4.7% and 3.1%. Amortization of previously capitalized interest declined 2.2% and 12.7% for
21
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
the three and nine months ended 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. The decline in amortization is due primarily to the decrease in homebuilding units closed in the respective periods. Interest capitalized increased 18.7% and 19.4% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively, due to a greater book value of new and existing properties undergoing active development.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes (SG&A), increased 8.5% and 18.6% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, respectively. The increase for each period was primarily due to (1) increased wages, benefits costs and administrative expenses associated with the increase in personnel to support our growth; (2) increased sales and marketing expenditures related to newly introduced communities, subdivisions and towers under development; and (3) increases in insurance premiums. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A increased to 12.0% from 9.6% in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, SG&A increased to 12.0% of total revenue as compared to 11.0% for the same period in 2001. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the respective periods is primarily related to lower tower revenues reported in the mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding section and the increase in SG&A expenses in the respective periods.
Liquidity and capital resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. We finance our land acquisitions, land improvements, homebuilding, development and construction activities from internally generated funds, credit agreements with financial institutions and other debt. As of September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $33.8 million and $273.9 million available for draw under existing lines of credit.
Net cash used in operations was $175.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to cash used in operations of $166.5 million for the same period in 2001. Excluding increases in net inventory additions of $196.6 million and $169.3 million and contracts receivable of $49.2 million and $95.9 million, net cash flows provided by operations were $70.8 million and $98.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Land acquisitions were $53.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $74.4 million in 2001. Net inventory additions are primarily related to single- and multi-family home inventories that are under contract for delivery during the next six to nine months, land development activities, land acquisitions and, to a lesser degree, tower inventories that have not yet qualified for revenue recognition. We expect real estate inventories will continue to increase as we are currently negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities.
Contracts receivable increased 12.3% during the nine month period reflecting the increase in the value of tower units under contract that are now being constructed and that have met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition. We expect to collect a substantial portion of these receivables during the next three to nine months as seven towers are planned to be completed, allowing delivery of units to residents. If we do not collect these contract receivables due to various contingencies, including buyer defaults, we may receive less cash than we expect. Historically, approximately 1% of firm contracts have resulted in cancellation or default. However, the recent events involving two Southwest region towers as described above may indicate an increase in potential contract defaults of those tower units with a significant proportion of purchasers who intend to use those units for second homes and/or investments. Future defaults may limit our ability to deliver units from backlog and collect contract receivables upon the completion of towers under construction.
22
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Investing activities for the period ended September 30, 2002, included $26.9 million of net additions to property and equipment compared to $21.3 million in the same period in the prior year. We anticipate cash used in investing activities will continue to increase with development of current and future amenity operations.
Financing activities provided cash of $176.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to cash provided of $168.8 million in the same period in 2001. The net cash inflow for the period ended September 30, 2002, was primarily the result of the issuance of 7.9 million shares of common stock in March 2002, ($138.2 million) and net borrowings of $38.0 million.
In April 2002, we entered into an amendment of one of our tower construction loans that increased the amount available for borrowing to approximately $121.2 million, and extended the maturity date to April 17, 2004.
In April 2002, we issued $200.0 million of 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes (the Notes) in a private placement and subsequently exchanged the unregistered Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes mature May 1, 2012 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1 commencing on November 1, 2002. The Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. Proceeds from the Notes were used to repay $174.8 million of the senior secured credit facility, $11.2 million of other debt and for general corporate purposes.
In June 2002, we repaid the outstanding balance of our senior secured credit facility. Simultaneously with the repayment, we entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Credit Facility) which replaces the previously outstanding senior secured credit facility. The Credit Facility includes substantially the same banking institutions as the senior secured credit facility. The Credit Facility provides for a $350.0 million revolving loan, which may increase to $425.0 million if certain conditions are met. The loan matures June 30, 2005, subject to a one-year extension, at our election, and allows for prepayments and additional borrowing to the maximum amount, provided an adequate borrowing base is maintained. The loan allows an allocation of the unused balance for issuance of a maximum of $75.0 million of stand-by letters of credit. The initial interest rate is the lenders prime rate or the LIBOR base rate plus a spread of 180 basis points, payable in arrears. The LIBOR base rate can be reduced by up to 30 basis points or increased by 20 basis points if the credit rating of the facility is revised. As of September 30, 2002, we had $270.4 million available for borrowing under the senior credit facility and $8.5 million committed pursuant to letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2002, $3.5 million was available for borrowing under the $18.0 million warehouse facility maintained by our wholly owned finance subsidiary, Financial Resources Group, Inc.
The amount of community development district and improvement district bond obligations issued with respect to our communities totaled $204.2 million at September 30, 2002. We have accrued $32.3 million as of September 30, 2002, as our estimate of the amount of bond obligations that we may be required to fund. We may, subject to limitations under our various debt agreements, use district financing to a greater extent in the future.
In October 2002, we entered into a $187.0 million construction loan agreement to finance the construction of two towers. The loan is collateralized by first mortgages on the properties and interest is payable monthly in arrears based on LIBOR plus a spread of 185 to 200 basis points. The loan matures in October 2005.
We released seven towers for reservation and commenced construction on four towers during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. We intend to use construction loans and customer deposits to construct high-rise towers. After the construction loans are repaid from the proceeds of closings with buyers, remaining proceeds will be available for general use. As of September 30, 2002, we had construction loans in place for 10 towers
23
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
with $83.0 million outstanding and $257.1 million of remaining undrawn commitments. We expect to begin construction on six towers and complete and begin the delivery of units to residents in one tower for the remainder of 2002.
During the course of future operations, we plan to acquire developed and undeveloped land, which will be used in the homebuilding, tower and amenities lines of business. As of September 30, 2002, we had contracts or options aggregating $91.1 million, to acquire approximately 680 acres of land that are expected to yield approximately 2,600 residential units.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Companys critical accounting policies are those related to (1) percentage of completion recognition of revenues and margins related to tower homebuilding; (2) real estate inventories and cost of sales; (3) community development district obligations; and (4) impairment of long-lived assets. These policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this document, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and some oral statements by Company officials to securities analysts and stockholders during presentations about the Company are forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, hopes, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future Company actions, which may be provided by management are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties about the Company, economic and market factors and the homebuilding industry, among other things. These statements are not guaranties of future performance.
Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements made by the Company or Company officials due to a number of factors. The principal factors that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to, the ability to raise capital and grow the Companys operations on a profitable basis, the ability to compete in the Florida real estate market, the ability to obtain necessary permits and approvals for the development of our land, the ability to pay principal and interest on outstanding debt, the ability to borrow and obtain surety bonds in the future, adverse legislation or regulation, availability of labor or material costs or significant increase in their costs, increases in interest rates, the level of consumer confidence, the availability and cost of land in desirable areas and ability to expand successfully into these areas, natural disasters, unanticipated litigation or legal proceedings, conditions in the capital, credit and homebuilding markets, the ability to sustain or increase historical revenues and profit margins, the ability to deliver homes from backlog and collect contract receivables upon the completion of towers under construction, risks associated with increased insurance costs or unavailability of adequate coverage, perceived risk of travel and changes in economic conditions due to recent events and the continuation of current trends and the general economic conditions.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or if
24

underlying assumptions provide incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this Report or elsewhere.
25
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on the variable rate portion of our debt. We hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into interest rate swap agreements to lock in a fixed interest rate. The swap agreements effectively fix the variable rate cash flows on approximately $90.0 million of our variable rate debt and expire February 2003 ($40.0 million) and February 2004 ($50.0 million). The swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 contains information about market risks under Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2002, the Companys debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market value. In addition, the table sets forth the notional amounts and weighted average interest rates of the Companys interest rate swaps.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys Board of Directors and management are cognizant of the importance of disclosure controls and internal controls and the necessity to file timely, complete and accurate reports as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In contemplation of the additional disclosure requirements imposed by the SEC and as required under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the Company undertook a formal review of its disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, management has established a disclosure committee with responsibility for considering the materiality of information and determining disclosure obligations on a timely basis. In September 2002, a matter was brought to the attention of senior managers related to a failure by certain managers to include the notification to condominium purchasers required under Florida administrative rules when sending out amendments of condominium documents. These managers have been terminated, and we have implemented additional procedures and controls designed to prevent these failures from re-occurring. This incident has prompted us to conduct a wider review of the effectiveness of our existing controls and procedures and to the extent that additional controls are determined to be appropriate, we are implementing such controls and procedures as promptly as possible.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES(continued)
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, together with other members of senior management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)). Based on this review, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this report, the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. There were no other significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
