NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
(In thousands, except per share data)
1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of WCI Communities, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2003 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 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, 2002 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. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, amortization of previously capitalized interest and real estate taxes have been reclassified from interest expense and real estate tax expense to homebuilding, amenity membership and operations, real estate services, and land cost of sales. Equity in (losses) earnings from joint ventures and other income have been reclassified from real estate services and land sales to other income and expenses. Interest income and expense related to mortgage banking has been reclassified from other income and interest expense, respectively, to real estate services net revenue, which is included in real estate services and land sales. These reclassifications have no impact on net income. | ||
The Company historically has experienced and expects to continue to experience variability in quarterly results. The consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | ||
2. | Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company has elected to use APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation costs are recorded upon issuance or exercise of stock options. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense under the fair value method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, pro forma net income would be as follows: |

These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effect on pro forma net income in future years, since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized over the vesting period and additional options may be granted in future years. | ||
3. | New Accounting Pronouncements | |
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 145. In addition to rescinding SFAS 4, 44 and 64 and amending SFAS 13, SFAS 145 requires all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be included as an item of income from continuing operations in accordance with APB 30. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 145, the Company reclassified $3,282 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to expenses related to early repayment of debt. A tax benefit of $1,266 was reclassified to income tax expense for the same period. | ||
In January 2003, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), an interpretation of ARB 51. The Interpretation requires the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. | ||
Effective October 9, 2003, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position on FIN 46 deferring the effective date until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 if interests in a VIE or potential VIE were acquired before February 1, 2003 and financial statements reporting a VIE in accordance with FIN 46 have not been issued. The Company believes it meets these conditions and will defer full adoption of FIN 46 for all VIEs created before January 31, 2003 until the fourth quarter of 2003. However, adoption of FIN 46 is required to be implemented for all VIEs created after January 31, 2003. | ||
Based on the provisions of FIN 46, the Company has concluded that whenever it options land or lots from an entity and pays a non-refundable deposit, enters into a partnership arrangement or is contractually obligated under a community development district, a VIE may be created. The amount of community development district and improvement district bond obligations issued and outstanding with respect to the Companys communities totaled $148,521 at September 30, 2003. The Company has accrued $51,427 as of September 30, 2003, as its estimate of the amount of bond obligations that it may be required to fund. | ||
In accordance with FIN 46, the Company completed an analysis of its land option contracts and other contractual arrangements entered into on or after February 1, 2003. Based on the analysis, the Company has determined its interests in VIEs acquired on or after February 1, 2003 do not result in significant variable |

interests or require consolidation. The Company is in the process of assessing its interests in VIEs in existence prior to February 1, 2003. Depending upon the specific terms or conditions of such entities, the Company may be required to consolidate certain VIEs in subsequent periods. The Company will complete its assessment by December 31, 2003. See Note 7. | ||
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. | ||
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective for the Companys interim period beginning July 1, 2003. Effective October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred the provisions of SFAS 150 that impact classification and measurement of mandatorily redeemable minority interests that may result under the provisions of FIN 46 and the potential consolidation of certain joint ventures. See Note 7. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations; however, the Company cannot make any definitive conclusions until it completes its evaluation of its unconsolidated joint ventures under the provisions of FIN 46. | ||
4. | Segment Information | |
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 real estate brokerage, mortgage banking, title and property management operations. Land sales have been disclosed for purposes of additional analysis. The amount of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales of each segment, thereby reducing segment gross margin, is also presented for purposes of additional analysis. Asset information by business segment is not presented, since the Company does not prepare such information. |

(In thousands, except per share data)
There were no joint ventures entered into or modified after January 31, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating the unconsolidated joint ventures entered into prior to February 1, 2003 that may be potential VIEs, under the provisions of FIN 46 and require consolidation for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting FIN 46 for its joint ventures that were entered into prior to January 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 may require the consolidation of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain of its joint ventures. At September 30, 2003, the Companys maximum exposure to loss with regard to unconsolidated joint ventures was its $55,063 recorded investment in these joint ventures. Although the Company does not believe the full adoption of FIN 46 will have a material effect on its financial statements, the Company cannot make any definitive conclusion until it completes its evaluation. | ||
8. | Shareholders Equity | |
In addition to its common stock, the Company has 100,000 shares authorized of series common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 100,000 shares authorized of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. No shares of series common stock or preferred stock are issued and outstanding. | ||
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options and grants. For the third quarter of 2003, all stock options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. | ||
Information pertaining to the calculation of earnings per share is as follows: |

9. | Debt | |
In August 2003, the Company issued $125,000 of 4.0% contingent convertible senior subordinated notes (the 4% Notes) due 2023 in a private placement. The 4% Notes mature August 5, 2023 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears commencing on February 5, 2004. The 4% Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay $9,341 of mortgages and notes payable and approximately $111,900 of the outstanding balance of the senior unsecured credit facility. | ||
The Company has the right to redeem all or some of the 4% Notes under certain circumstances beginning in August 2008. Holders may require the Company to repurchase the 4% Notes in August 2008, 2013 and 2018 and upon the occurrence of certain designated events. The 4% Notes can be converted into the Companys common stock at a conversion price per share of $27.57 which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately 36.2713 per $1,000 principal amount of the 4% Notes under certain circumstances prior to the maturity date. The 4% Notes are convertible at the holders option prior to the maturity date under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Companys common stock price for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the quarter preceding the quarter in which the conversion occurs is more than 120% of the conversion price per share ($27.57) on the 30th trading day, (2) if the Company has called the 4% Notes for redemption and the redemption has not yet occurred, (3) subject to certain exemptions, during the five trading day period |

For the three and nine months ended 2003, we achieved a 40.1% and 15.3% increase in revenues, respectively. The increase in revenues for each respective period was driven primarily by (1) a 42.3% and 29.2% increase in single- and multi-family homebuilding revenues, (2) a 72.4% and 5.6% increase in mid- and high-rise homebuilding revenues, (3) a 26.6% and 26.2% increase in real estate services revenues, and (4) offset by a 21.1% and 12.4% decrease in amenity membership and operations revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended 2003 were also positively impacted by an increase in land sales.
The increase in gross margin and net income for the three months ended 2003 was primarily due to (1) a 58.4% increase in single- and multi-family homebuilding gross margin, (2) a 45.4% increase in mid- and high-rise homebuilding gross margin, (3) a 71.8% increase in real estate services gross margin, and (4) offset by a minimal loss occurring in the amenity membership and operations division. The decline in gross margin and net income for the nine month period was primarily due to lower gross margins in the mid- and high-rise homebuilding and amenity membership and operations divisions. Net income for the three and nine months ended was impacted by the increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, real estate tax expense and interest expense. The increases in SG&A were consistent with managements plans and are primarily associated with the growth in revenues. The increase in real estate tax expense was due primarily to the increase in land and finished tower inventory. The increase in interest expense was due to the increase in the effective interest rate due to the Companys increased reliance upon long-term fixed rate debt. The comparisons described above for the three and nine months ended 2003 were affected by the 2002 reversal of $35.4 million in mid-rise and high-rise revenue and $12.9 million of related gross margin due to the default of 5 and cancellation of 48 tower unit contracts.
(a) Our gross margin includes overhead expenses directly associated with each line of business. See the condensed consolidated statements of income for a reconciliation of gross margin to consolidated income before income taxes for each period.

Revenues increased 42.3% and 29.2% for the three and nine months ended, respectively, primarily due to increases in both the number of homes delivered and the average selling price. We recorded initial deliveries of 145 and 285 homes for the three and nine months ended 2003, in three of our communities located in the Palm Beach, Central and Southwest regions, offset by a 74 and 157 decrease in deliveries primarily in close-out communities, respectively. The average selling price per home closed in these periods increased as a result of closing a larger proportion of homes in our higher-priced communities. Lot revenues decreased 83.0% and 82.9% for the three and nine months, respectively, primarily due to the close-out of one community located in our Palm Beach region. For the remainder of 2003, we expect two new communities will begin delivering homes.
Gross margin percentage increased 250 and 150 basis points for the three and nine months, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the average selling price per home closed, which reflects the sale of larger homes with more features and, consequently, higher margins. The gross margin for the three months ended 2003 was also positively impacted by the initial delivery of high-margin units in a community located in the Southwest region. In addition, the gross margin for the nine months ended 2003 was positively impacted by the initial delivery of high-margin units in a community located in the Palm Beach region.
Contract values of new orders increased 48.8% and 18.9% for the three and nine months, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the average sales price. The 46.6% and 38.0% increase in the average sales price per new order for the respective periods was primarily due to sales in two recently introduced higher-priced communities and demand for higher-priced homes at certain existing communities. The 18.0% increase in backlog contract values reflects a 25.0% increase in the average sales price of homes under contract to $485,000 in 2003 compared to $388,000 in 2002.
Our ability to sell homes and raise home prices in the future may be adversely impacted by any significant declines in economic and stock market conditions or softening in the demand for certain new home offerings.

Revenues increased 72.4% and 5.6% for the three and nine months ended, respectively. The increase in revenues for the three months ended was due primarily to the incremental increase from towers recognizing percentage of completion revenues in both 2003 and 2002 and differences between periods in the timing of initial revenue recognition on towers commencing construction. In the three month period ended 2003, one tower containing a total of 38 sold units reported approximately $22.5 million of initial revenues, compared to one tower containing a total of 14 sold units reporting approximately $3.7 million of initial revenues in the three months ended 2002. The tower revenues for the three and nine months ended also were favorably impacted by a $12.7 million and $31.8 million, increase in the delivery of previously unsold tower units, respectively.
Gross margin percentage for the three and nine months ended declined to 24.5% and 27.6% from 29.1% and 36.5% for the same periods in 2002, respectively. In addition to the net $2.2 million increase to our allowance for collectibility of contracts receivable for the nine months ended 2003, the decline in the gross margin percentage in each period was primarily due to an anticipated change in the mix of units sold and in backlog toward lower-priced, lower-margin units, and a $2.8 million increase in warranty and completion costs recorded in the three months ended 2003 related to three recently completed towers.
In addition to the items noted above, favorable period over period comparisons of revenues and gross margin were impacted by the Companys business decision to grant recission on 48 tower units and the default by customers on closing of 5 tower units in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as previously reported. The resulting impact reduced 2002 revenue and gross margin by $35.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively.
Contract values of new orders for the three and nine months ended declined 17.0% and increased 33.0%, respectively. The decline in contract values for the three months ended was primarily due to four buildings converting to contract in 2003 compared to seven buildings in 2002. The increase in contract values for the nine months ended 2003 was favorable due to the conversion to firm contract of 121 units with an average selling price of $2.0 million in the Veracruz tower located on the Southwest coast of Florida.
22
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
The increase in backlog contract values was due primarily to the Veracruz tower contract conversion offset by reductions in both cumulative contract values and cumulative revenues recognized in the towers under construction, which reflects the completion and delivery of units in eight towers during 2003. The decrease in cumulative contract values reflects a 4.2% decrease in the average sales price of units in backlog.
Our ability to sell tower units in the future may be adversely impacted by market conditions that have slowed absorption of higher priced units.

Equity membership and marina slip revenues for the three and nine months ended decreased 39.6% and 12.5%, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended was the result of (1) a $1.8 million decline in marina slip revenues primarily due to the sell-out of marina slips at our Gulf Harbour community that occurred in 2002, and (2) reduced availability of equity memberships in our Southeast region due to the bulk sale of all remaining memberships at the Deering Bay Club that occurred in the second quarter of 2003.
The decrease in equity membership and marina slip revenues for the nine months ended was the result of (1) a $3.2 million decline in marina slip revenues primarily due to the sell-out of marina slips at our Gulf Harbour community that occurred in 2002, (2) a $4 million decline in luxury equity membership sales at our existing amenity clubs, and (3) offset by $5.2 million recognized on the bulk sale of all remaining memberships at the Deering Bay Club that occurred in the second quarter of 2003. The sale of luxury equity memberships continues to be affected by slowing demand.
Membership dues and amenity operations revenues decreased 6.6% and 12.4% for the three and nine months, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three and nine months, respectively, was primarily due to a $1.5 million and $6.3 million decrease related to the turnover of two clubs located in the Southwest region to its members, offset by a $1.0 million and $2.6 million increase in revenues from several new and existing club facilities.
The decline in total amenity gross margins was primarily due to the declines in sales of luxury equity memberships and marina slips, and increased start-up deficits associated with new amenity operations.
Future amenity gross margin may be adversely impacted by the reduced availability of marina slips, slowing demand for marina slips and equity memberships due to general market conditions and increased start-up deficits associated with new amenity operations.

Real Estate Services
Real estate services revenues, including real estate brokerage, mortgage banking, title and property management operations increased 26.6% and 26.2% for the three and nine months ended, respectively. The increase in the respective periods was primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions and an increase in the average sales price per transaction associated with our Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage operations. Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage transaction volume increased 18.3% to 2,539 from 2,147 in the third quarter of 2002, and 17.8% to 7,317 from 6,210 for the nine months ended 2002. The average Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage transaction price increased 12.0% for the three and nine months ended 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The increase in gross margins for the three and nine months ended was primarily due to the growth in volume of higher-margin transactions in the real estate brokerage and mortgage banking businesses and prudent cost management in general.
Land Sales
Land sales are incidental to our overall operations and are expected to continue in the future, but may significantly fluctuate. The increase in revenues for the nine months ended was primarily attributable to the sale of non-strategic parcels located in our Southeast and Palm Beach regions. Land sales gross margin percentage for the three months ended 2003 increased due primarily to the change in mix and location of the parcels. Land sales gross margins for the nine months ended 2003 were $13.8 million before adjustments of $5.3 million for community development district obligations and estimated costs to complete development activities in two closed-out non-homebuilding communities.
Other Income and Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes, (SG&A) increased 25.7% to $34.8 million and 19.0% to $107.6 million for the three and nine months ended, respectively. The increase for the three months ended 2003 was primarily due to a 15.2% and 39.3% increase in general and administrative (G&A) costs and marketing expenditures, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended was primarily due to an 18.8% and 14.3% increase in G&A and marketing expenditures, respectively. G&A for the three months increased due to a 7.3% and 39.9% increase in salary, wages and benefits and professional and legal fees, respectively. G&A for the nine months increased due to a 7.0%, 21.5% and 36.0% increase in salary, wages and benefits, professional and legal fees and insurance, respectively. The increase in G&A was expected with the planned growth in our business. Marketing expenditures increased primarily due to increased advertising in new and existing communities. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A for the three and nine months ended was 10.5% and 12.3% compared to 11.7% and 11.9% for the same periods in 2002. We expect that our full year SG&A rate will be approximately 10% - 11% of total revenues. Interest expense, net of capitalization, increased 15.1% and 14.9% for the three and nine months ended, respectively. The increase in the respective periods was primarily due to the increase in interest incurred and a slight
24
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
decline in the amount of interest capitalized. Interest incurred increased primarily as a result of the increase in the effective interest rate due to the Companys planned greater reliance upon long-term fixed rate debt as a source of capital.
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, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.6 million, $405.0 million undrawn under our existing senior credit facility and $20.6 million committed pursuant to letters of credit.
Net cash used in operations declined $71.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002. Net real estate 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, unsold tower and traditional homes, land and construction development activities, and land acquisitions. Land acquisitions were approximately $37.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $53.2 million in 2002. We expect real estate inventories will continue to increase as we are currently developing several master planned communities and towers and negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities. 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, 2003, we had non-refundable deposits and/or letters of credits on contracts or options aggregating $94.8 million to acquire approximately 760 acres of land that are expected to yield approximately 3,000 residential units. Of this amount, approximately $20.0 million of land under option is now under development and has been recorded in inventory and other liabilities.
Contracts receivable decreased $93.8 million during the nine-month period reflecting the collection of receivables from delivery of units in eight towers completed through September 30, 2003, a $2.2 million increase to the allowance for collectibility of contracts receivables offset by the increase in receivables related to tower units under contract that are now being constructed. We expect to collect additional receivables during the next three-to-nine months as five towers are planned to be completed, allowing delivery of units to residents. Historically, approximately 1% to 2% of firm contacts have resulted in default upon tower completion. However, the recent slowdown in the luxury tower market may indicate an increase in potential contract defaults for those tower units with a significant proportion of purchasers who intend to use those units for second homes and/or investment properties. Future defaults may limit our ability to deliver units from backlog and collect contract receivables upon the completion of towers under construction.
Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily consisted of $40.1 million of net additions to property and equipment compared to net additions of $26.9 million in the same period in 2002. We anticipate cash used in investing activities will continue to increase with development of current and future amenity operations.
Financing activities provided cash of $150.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to cash provided of $177.2 million in the same period in 2002. The net cash inflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was related to net borrowings of $144.7 million and an $18.0 million increase in community development district obligations, offset by the repurchase of 1.0 million shares of common stock for $13.0 million.
In March 2003, we amended one of our tower construction loans to increase the amount available for borrowing to $101.6 million and extended the maturity date to March 2005. The loan is collateralized by first mortgages on the tower properties and interest is payable monthly in arrears based on LIBOR plus a spread of 185 to 200 basis points or the prime rate.

In June 2003, we amended one of our tower construction loans to substitute a new tower for a completed project, decrease the interest rate by 25 basis points and extend the maturity date to June 2005. The loan is collateralized by first mortgages on the tower properties and interest is payable monthly in arrears based on LIBOR plus 200 basis points or the prime rate.
In August 2003, the Company issued $125.0 million of 4.0% contingent convertible senior subordinated notes (the 4% Notes) due 2023 in a private placement. The 4% Notes mature August 5, 2023 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears commencing on February 5, 2004. The 4% Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay $9.3 million of mortgages and notes payable and used the balance of the net proceeds to repay approximately $111.9 million of the outstanding balance of the senior unsecured credit facility. See the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures.
In September 2003, the Company issued $125.0 million of 7-7/8% senior subordinated notes (the 7-7/8% Notes) in a private placement. The 7-7/8% Notes mature October 1, 2013 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears commencing on April 1, 2004. The 7-7/8% Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. The 7-7/8% Notes indenture contains certain financial and operational covenants that may limit the Companys and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase capital stock and make investment acquisitions. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay $123.8 million of the outstanding balance of the senior unsecured credit facility.
Our senior credit facility provides for a $350.0 million revolving loan, which may increase to $425.0 million if certain conditions are met. In June 2003, the commitment amount was increased to $405.0 million. 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. The principal financial covenants include the following, as defined in the credit facility: (1) Minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $575.0 million plus 50% of positive net income after July 1, 2002 plus 75% of the aggregate proceeds of equity offerings after the effective date, (2) Total Debt to Adjusted Tangible Net Worth cannot exceed 2.25 to 1.0, and (3) EBITDA to Fixed Charges cannot be less than 2.0 to 1.
As of September 30, 2003, $17.6 million was available for borrowing under the $23.0 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 and outstanding with respect to our communities totaled $148.5 million at September 30, 2003. We have accrued $51.4 million as of September 30, 2003, as our estimate of the amount of bond obligations that we may be required to fund. We guarantee district shortfalls under some of the bond debt service agreements when the revenues, fees and assessments, which are designed to cover principal and interest and other operating costs of the bonds, are not paid. We may, subject to limitations under our various debt agreements, use district financing to a greater extent in the future.
We 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, 2003, we had construction loans in place for seven towers with $70.1 million outstanding and $266.4 million of remaining undrawn commitments. We released five towers for reservation during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Through September 30, 2003 we commenced construction of four

towers. We also plan to complete construction and begin the delivery of units to residents in one tower during the fourth quarter of 2003.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Companys critical accounting policies are those related to (1) revenue recognition related to single- and multi-family and mid- and high-rise homebuilding; (2) contracts receivable; (3) real estate inventories and cost of sales; (4) warranty costs; (5) capitalized interest and real estate taxes; (6) community development district obligations; (7) impairment of long-lived assets; (8) goodwill; and (9) litigation. 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, 2002. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the accounting policy for capitalized interest and real estate taxes was modified for the reclassification of the amortization of previously capitalized interest and real estate taxes from interest and real estate tax expense to homebuilding, amenity membership and operations, real estate services and land cost of sales.
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, cash flow 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.
These risks and uncertainties include the Companys ability to compete in the Florida real estate market; the availability and cost of land in desirable areas in Florida and elsewhere and the ability to expand successfully into those areas; Companys ability to obtain necessary permits and approvals for the development of its lands; Companys ability to raise debt and equity capital and grow its operations on a profitable basis; Companys ability to pay principal and interest on its current and future debts; Companys ability to sustain or increase historical revenues and profit margins; material increases in labor and material costs; increases in interest rates; the level of consumer confidence; adverse legislation or regulations; unanticipated litigation or legal proceedings; natural disasters; and the continuation and improvement of general economic conditions and business trends. If one or more of the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements proves incorrect, then the Companys actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this Report or elsewhere.

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 hedged a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into an interest rate swap agreement to lock in a fixed interest rate. The swap agreement effectively fixes the variable rate cash flows on approximately $50.0 million of our variable rate debt and expires February 2004. The swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 contains information about market risks under Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2003, the Companys debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market values. In addition, the table sets forth the notional amounts and weighted average interest rate of the Companys interest rate swap.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information 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 disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2003. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives.
In addition, there was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
