For the second quarter of 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $9.1 million, or $0.49 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million, or $0.26 per share during the second quarter of 2010. The current quarter loss consists primarily of a $3.5 million adjusted pre-tax loss from operations and $5.5 million of asset impairments. The prior year second quarter loss consisted of $1.7 million adjusted pre-tax income from operations and $6.5 million of asset impairments. The Company reported a net loss of $26.2 million for the first half of 2011, or $1.40 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million, or $0.71 per share, for the same period a year ago.
  
New contracts for 2011's second quarter were 635, up 5% from 2010's second quarter of 602. For the first six months of 2011, new contracts declined 6% from 1,367 in 2010 to 1,289 in 2011. M/I Homes had 115 active communities at June 30, 2011 compared to 109 at June 30, 2010 and 111 at March 31, 2011. The Company's cancellation rate was 20% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 16% in 2010's second quarter. Homes delivered in 2011's second quarter were 590 compared to 790 in 2010's second quarter. Homes delivered for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were 1,029 compared to 2010's deliveries of 1,269. Backlog of homes at June 30, 2011 had a sales value of $214 million, with an average sales price of $257,000 and backlog units of 833. At June 30, 2010 backlog sales value was $200 million, with an average sales price of $267,000 and backlog units of 748.
 
Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Housing conditions continued to be challenging during the second quarter. While our new contracts improved over last year's second quarter, the spring selling season was not nearly as robust as many had expected. General economic uncertainty and caution by consumers, as well as tougher lending standards, are keeping many would-be homebuyers on the sidelines. Despite this year's challenging market conditions, we are encouraged by a number of performance metrics for the quarter, including a sequential improvement of 70 basis points in our adjusted operating gross margin from 2011's first quarter, a reduction in our selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter compared to 2010's second quarter, and our eighth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. We also continue to be pleased with the performance of our new communities."






Mr. Schottenstein continued, “Because economic conditions remain uncertain, we will continue to manage cautiously while taking advantage of opportunities, like our recent San Antonio acquisition, that we believe will improve our business. We ended the quarter with $114 million of cash, no outstanding borrowings under our $140 million homebuilding credit facility, and a 37% net debt to net capital ratio. Looking ahead, we will continue focusing on our core business strategies while maintaining tight controls on our expenses. We are confident that our strategy and market position should allow us to continue making progress as we strive to return to profitability."

The Company will broadcast live its earnings conference call today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Adjusted operating gross margin, adjusted operating gross margin percentage, adjusted pre-tax (loss) income from operations and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Management finds these measures to be useful in evaluating the Company's performance because they disclose the financial results generated from homes the Company actually delivered during the period, as the asset impairments and certain other write-offs relate, in part, to inventory that was not delivered during the period. They also assist the Company's management in making strategic decisions regarding the Company's future operations. The Company believes investors will also find these measures to be important and useful because they disclose financial  measures that can be compared to a prior period without regard to the variability of asset impairments and certain other write-offs and unusual charges. In addition, to the extent that the Company's competitors provide similar information, disclosure of these measures helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare the Company's financial results to the results of its competitors with regard to the homes they deliver in the same period. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in methods of calculation and charges being excluded.  Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA is also presented in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.
