8. |
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: |
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. |
Operating results, by industry segment, for the three months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004 are as follows (in thousands): |

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. |
Following is the Company’s warranty reserve activity for the three months ended February 28, 2005: |

Land
Purchase Agreements
In
April 2004, the Company entered into a rolling option contract to purchase
forty-one (41) developed, golf course lots in the Pointe West development
located in Vero Beach, Florida. If the Company does not perform under the
contract, its liability is limited to the deposit money held by the
seller. The full deposit of $300,000 was made during the year ended
November 30, 2004. Ten lots have been purchased under this Land Purchase
Agreement as of February 28, 2005. | |
In December 2003, the Company entered into a contract to purchase eight (8) developed lots in the Amelia Plantation development located in Vero Beach, Florida. If the Company does not perform under the contract, its liability is limited to the deposit money held by the seller. A net deposit of $12,000 remains as of February 28, 2005. Four lots have been purchased under this Land Purchase Agreement as of February 28, 2005. | |
The Company anticipates purchasing all of the lots it has under its existing land contracts. The estimated cost to the Company to perform all of its obligations under the existing land contracts is approximately $3.4 million. |

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. |
