COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:
 

“The housing market remains challenging primarily due to uncertainty caused by general domestic economic and political concerns, stock market volatility and turbulent international economic conditions, all of which are taking their toll on consumer confidence” commented Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Despite this difficult backdrop, our deliveries, revenues, gross margin and cash flow for the third quarter were in line with our expectations.  However, we see very few indicators that any recovery in the housing market has begun.  As such, we are taking appropriate steps to run our business based on current market conditions, with a focus on maintaining adequate liquidity.”

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 net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 third quarter of 2011, cash flow was negative $76.2 million, which was derived from $83.3 million from net cash used in operating activities plus the change in mortgage notes receivable of $5.8 million plus $1.3 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 to Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges and Loss (Gain) on Extinguishment of Debt is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.
