During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported $26.6 million in revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other lands which generated $8.0 million in income to the Company, compared to $31.7 million in land sales which generated $3.6 million of income for the same period in 2011.
 
President and Chief Executive Officer Roger Cregg said the 12-month operating results point to improvements both within the Company and the industry.  “During the course of 2012 we continued to position AV Homes to take advantage of what we saw as improving market conditions.  Those actions resulted in increased sales, closings and backlog,” he said.  “We continued to make progress toward regaining profitability while managing the disposition of some of our legacy assets.  We are making important progress within many areas of our operations that will drive continued improvement throughout 2013,” he added.
