COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT

“In spite of strong long-term demographics, the current housing market remains quite challenging.  The combination of a lackluster job market and high foreclosure activity is clearly having a dampening effect on the housing market.  The only silver lining is that we continue to find land acquisition opportunities which we believe will yield appropriate returns at today’s home prices and sales paces,” commented Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Even without a general housing recovery, we are optimistic that as the percentage of deliveries from newly identified communities increases, our overall performance should continue to improve.”

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 loss (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 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 fourth quarter of 2010, cash flow was negative $35.6 million, which was derived from $59.4 million from net cash used in operating activities plus the change in mortgage notes receivable of $23.7 million plus $0.1 million of net cash provided by investing activities.

Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges and Loss (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 Loss (Gain) on Extinguishment of Debt to Loss Before Income Taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.
