COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT

“We anticipated that our third quarter net contracts would decline as some sales were pulled forward into the second quarter due to the expiration of the $8,000 federal homebuyers’ tax credit,” commented Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Concurrent with the expiration of the tax credit, we saw consumer confidence take a step backward, as the lack of job creation, volatile stock market prices, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and general concerns about the health of the economy moved to the forefront.  These factors combined to produce slower than expected sales throughout our third quarter.”

“On the positive side, July sales were modestly better than June and we saw August sales improve even more significantly compared to June. However, we still did not reach the sales pace we saw in July and August of the prior year,” continued Mr. Hovnanian.  “While far from a normal sales pace, we are hopeful that the stronger selling environment will continue into September and October.”

“Long-term demographic trends of household formation point to housing starts eventually bouncing off of 60-year lows.  Nevertheless, job creation is the key to a housing recovery, which makes it difficult to predict how improvements in the economy and housing market play out over the short term.  However, we are confident that we are taking appropriate steps at the bottom of this housing cycle to replenish our land supply and optimize our cost structure so that we are well positioned to participate in the inevitable housing rebound,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

Consolidated earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs and gain on extinguishment of debt (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net (loss) income.  The reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

Cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net Cash provided by (or used in) Operating Activities.  The Company uses cash flow to mean the amount of Net Cash provided by (or used in) Operating Activities for the period, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, excluding changes in mortgage notes receivable at the mortgage company, plus (or minus) the amount of Net Cash provided by (or used in) Investing Activities.  For the third quarter of 2010, cash flow was negative $29.8 million, which was derived from $34.6 million from net cash used in operating activities plus the change in mortgage notes receivable of $3.4 million plus $1.4 million of net cash provided by investing activities.

Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Loss Before Income Taxes.  The reconciliation of Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt to Loss Before Income Taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.
