Certain information included in this report and other Company filings (collectively, “SEC filings”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as well as information communicated orally or in writing between the dates of such SEC filings) contains or may contain forward looking information that is subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Among these risks, trends and uncertainties are the Company’s ability to raise capital, national and local economic conditions, the lack of an established operating history for the Company’s current business activities, conditions and trends in the homebuilding, Internet and technology industries in general, changes in interest rates, continued acceptance of the Company’s co-branded customer loyalty credit card program, the Company’s ability to acquire property for development, the impact of severe weather on the Company’s homebuilding operations, the effect of governmental regulation on the Company and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Segment Reporting
   
  The Company accounts for reportable segments using the “management approach”. The management approach focuses on disclosing financial information that the Company’s management uses to make decisions about the Company’s operating matters. During the operating periods presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company operated in four identifiable business segments as follows:

8

 
 
 
Homebuilding and Consulting
Homes by Calton, LLC constructs single-family residential homes in the state of Florida. Revenues and related profits from the homebuilding segment are recognized using the full accrual method, as the term is defined in Statements on Financial Accounting (SFAS) No. 66. Revenue is recognized under the full accrual method when the earning process of constructing the home has been completed as follows:
       
  · The Company recognizes revenue at the time of closing and title transfer. Prior to closing, the customer performs walkthroughs of the home and any other procedures that they consider necessary to accept the home. The Company attempts to remedy any issues with its customers prior to closing.
    ·
In all instances, the buyer’s commitment to repay financing obtained to purchase the property is between the buyer and the buyer’s lender. The Company does not provide customer financing and there is no recourse against the Company for non-payment by the buyers.
    ·
The risks and rewards of ownership of the home pass to the customer at closing and the Company has no substantial continuing involvement with the property.
       
  Internet Development
eCalton.com, Inc. provides Internet consulting services and develops comprehensive Internet-based solutions for its clients. Its mission is to help businesses and organizations optimize their competitive business advantages through strategic use of the Internet and related technologies. eCalton provides its services to medium and large size companies in various industries, as well as one prime vertical market - the homebuilding industry. Revenues are derived under short-term time-and-material and, to a lesser extent, fixed-price contracts with principally commercial business customers. Revenues under time-and-material contracts are recognized upon acceptance by the customer of the website. Revenues under fixed-price contracts are recognized as the contract progresses, using the cost-to-cost method to determine percentage of completion.
       
  Corporate
The corporate division provides senior management, accounting, human resources and investor relations services to all wholly owned subsidiaries of Calton, Inc.
       
  Credit Card Loyalty Business
PrivilegeONE Networks, LLC was formed to develop and implement the PrivilegeONE Loyalty Program. The patent pending program was developed to aggregate disparate entities under the PrivilegeONE umbrella to create customer loyalty and retention to the individual entity through the issuance of co-branded credit cards and membership cards. To introduce the program, PrivilegeONE elected the initial target customer base of automobile dealers throughout the United States. This segment recognizes revenue upon receipt of its proportionate share of finance charges incurred on existing PrivilegeONE credit card accounts and upon receipt of fees associated with new card issuances.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
   
 
Warranty Commitments on Homes by Calton
The Company provides a basic limited warranty on workmanship and materials for all homes for a period of one year. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and average cost per claim. Estimated future warranty costs are charged to cost of sales in the period when the revenues from home closings are recognized. Such estimated warranty costs are 0.5% of total homebuilding revenue. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
   
  Results of Operations for the Three Months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004
   
  Revenues: Consolidated revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2005 decreased slightly to $2,277,000 compared to $2,687,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2004. The homebuilding segment generated $2,126,000 in revenue (four home deliveries) in the quarter ended February 28, 2005 compared to $2,562,000 in revenue (five home deliveries) for the quarter ended February 29, 2004. The Internet development segment generated $151,000 in revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2005, an increase of over 20% compared to $124,000 generated in the quarter ended February 29, 2004.
   
  Cost of Sales: Cost of sales consists of cost of goods sold for the homebuilding segment, project personnel and expenses associated with the Internet development segment and direct expenses of the credit card loyalty segment. Homebuilding cost of goods sold was $1,612,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2005 compared to $2,041,000 for the quarter ended February 29, 2004. The Company delivered four homes in the quarter ended February 28, 2005 compared to the delivery of five homes in the quarter ended February 29, 2004 which resulted in the decrease in cost of goods sold. Cost of sales for the Internet development segment increased to $70,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2005 compared to $63,000 in the quarter ended February 29, 2004 as a result of higher revenues.
   
  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended February 28, 2005 were $624,000 compared to $564,000 for the quarter ended February 29, 2004. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to increases in sales and marketing and compensation expense as the homebuilding division continues to grow.
   
  Interest Income: Interest income is derived principally from interest on depository accounts and money market-type accounts. Interest income decreased to $1,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2005 compared to $2,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2004. The decrease was a result of lower average deposited balances as cash continues to be used in operating activities.
   
  Interest Expense: Interest expense amounted to $9,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2005 compared to $11,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2004. Interest is incurred on the Company’s real estate loans and, to the extent required under generally accepted accounting principles, capitalized in real estate inventory. During the three months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004, the Company capitalized $7,000 and $16,000, respectively.
   
  Litigation Settlements: The Company received $71,000 in a litigation settlement during the three months ended February 28, 2005.

General

As of February 28, 2005 the Company had $3,138,000 in working capital compared to $3,042,000 at November 30, 2004.

The current period’s cash usage reflects an increase in homebuilding inventory of $253,000 and a reduction of customer deposits (included in other liabilities) of $448,000.

SENSITIVE ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s critical accounting policies relating to certain of these items are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 2004. As of February 28, 2005, there have been no material additions to our critical accounting policies and there have been no changes in the application of existing accounting principles.
