EXPLANATORY NOTE: This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to provide additional segment reporting footnote disclosure related to our homebuilding operations. We have restated the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to revise our segment disclosure for all periods presented to disaggregate our homebuilding operations into regional reporting segments. See revised disclosures in Note 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Unless otherwise indicated, no information in this Form 10-Q/A has been updated for any subsequent information or events from the original filing.
For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the entire March 31, 2006 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only Part I Items 1, 2 and 4 of the March 31, 2006 Form 10-Q, in each case solely to be responsive to certain disclosure comments, relating to segment reporting, received from the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aforementioned changes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have no effect on the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 or its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

BEAZER HOMES USA, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (Beazer Homes or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Such financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the Companys opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. Certain items in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (the 2005 Annual Report).
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A discussion of the Companys significant accounting policies other than those discussed below is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Beazer Homes Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue and related profit are generally recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer. In situations where the buyers financing is originated by Beazer Mortgage, the Companys wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, and the buyer has not made a sufficient down payment as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 66, the revenue and gross profit on such sale is deferred until the sale of the related mortgage loan to a third-party investor has been completed.
The Company recognizes loan origination fees and expenses and gains and losses on mortgage loans when the related loans are sold to third-party investors. Beazers policy is to sell all mortgage loans it originates and these sales usually occur within 15 to 30 days of the closing of the home sale.
Stock-Based Compensation
In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. Prior to fiscal year 2006, the Company accounted for stock awards granted to employees under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. As a result, no compensation expense was previously recognized for stock options granted to employees because all stock options granted had exercise prices not less than the market value of Beazer Homes stock on the date of the grant in periods prior to fiscal year 2006.
SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date, as well as to the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the required effective date. The
8
Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value its new stock option grants under SFAS 123R, applying the modified prospective method for existing grants which requires the Company to value stock options prior to its adoption of SFAS 123R under the fair value method and expense the unvested portion over the remaining vesting period. SFAS 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS 123R requires the Company to reflect the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash inflow upon adoption and an operating cash outflow.
Nonvested stock granted to employees is valued based on the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. Performance based, nonvested stock granted to employees is valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method. The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18: Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Stock options issued to non-employees are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Nonvested stock granted to non-employees is initially valued based on the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant and is adjusted to fair value until vested.
Compensation cost arising from nonvested stock granted to employees and from non-employee stock awards is recognized as expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Unearned compensation is now included in paid-in capital in accordance with SFAS 123R. As of March 31, 2006, there was $35.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.5 years. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006, the Companys total stock-based compensation expense was $3.7 million ($2.7 million net of tax) and $6.0 million ($4.1 million net of tax), respectively. Included in this total stock-based compensation expense was incremental expense for stock options of $1.8 million ($1.1 million net of tax) and $2.9 million ($1.8 million net of tax) for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.
The following table summarizes nonvested stock awards as of March 31, 2006, as well as activity for the three and six months then ended.

The following table illustrates the effect (in thousands, except per share amounts) on net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 as if the Companys stock-based compensation had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards made prior to fiscal 2006, under those plans and consistent with SFAS 123R:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For grants issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, weighted average assumptions used to determine grant date fair value included a risk free interest rate of 4.51%, an expected life of 5.5 years and an expected volatility of 42.55%. Expected life of the options granted is computed using the mid-point between the vesting period and contractual life of the options granted. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock and other factors. Expected discrete dividends of $0.10 per quarter are assumed in lieu of a continuously compounding dividend yield. There were no option grants in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Homes under construction includes homes finished and ready for delivery and homes in various stages of construction. Excluding model homes, Beazer Homes had 632 completed homes (valued at $128.4 million) and 414 completed homes (valued at $72.2 million) at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively, which were not subject to a sales contract. Development projects in progress consist principally of land and land improvement costs. Certain of the fully developed lots in this category are reserved by a deposit or sales contract.
The Company acquires certain lots by means of option contracts. Option contracts generally require the payment of cash for the right to acquire lots during a specified period of time at a certain price. Under option contracts, both with and without specific performance provisions, purchase of the properties is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by us and the sellers. Beazer Homes obligation with respect to options with specific performance provisions is included on the Companys consolidated balance sheets in other liabilities. Under option contracts without specific performance obligations, the Companys liability is generally limited to forfeiture of the non-refundable deposits, letters of credit and other non-refundable amounts incurred, which aggregated approximately $351.8 million at March 31, 2006. This amount includes letters of credit of approximately $55.6 million. Below is a summary of amounts, net of cash deposits, committed under all options at March 31, 2006 (in thousands):

Certain of the Companys option contracts are with sellers who are deemed to be Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). FIN 46 defines a VIE as an entity with insufficient equity investment to finance its planned activities without additional financial support or an entity in which the equity investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Pursuant to FIN 46, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and must consolidate the VIE.
The Company has determined that Beazer Homes is the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. The Companys risk is generally limited to the option deposits that it pays, and creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Although Beazer Homes does not have legal title to the optioned land, for those option contracts for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, Beazer Homes is required to consolidate the land under option at fair value. The Company believes that the exercise prices of its option contracts approximate their fair value. The Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 reflect consolidated inventory not owned of $336.5 million and $230.1 million, respectively. Obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned totaled $244.4 million at March 31, 2006 and $166.2 million at September 30, 2005. The difference between the balances of consolidated inventory not owned and obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned represents cash deposits paid under the option agreements. The above disclosures of amounts committed under options include Beazer Homes obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned.
(4) Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company participates in a number of land development joint ventures in which Beazer Homes has less than a controlling interest. The Companys joint ventures are typically entered into with developers, other homebuilders and financial partners to develop finished lots for sale to the joint ventures members and other third parties. Beazer Homes accounts for its interest in these joint ventures under the equity method. The Company recognizes its share of profits from the sale of lots to other buyers. Beazer Homes share of profits from lots purchased from the joint ventures are deferred and treated as a reduction of the cost of the land purchased from the joint venture. Such profits are subsequently recognized at the time the home closes and title passes to the homebuyer.
The Companys joint ventures typically obtain secured acquisition and development financing. In some instances, Beazer Homes and its joint venture partners have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt of the Companys unconsolidated joint ventures. At March 31, 2006, the Company had a repayment guarantee of $10.7 million related to our portion of debt of one of our unconsolidated joint ventures and loan-to-value maintenance guarantees of $32.9 million related to certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures. The repayment guarantee requires the repayment of Beazer Homes share of debt of the unconsolidated joint venture in the event the joint venture defaults on its obligations under the borrowings. The loan-to-value maintenance guarantees only apply if the borrowings of the unconsolidated joint venture exceed a specified percentage of the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) securing the borrowings. The Company has not recorded a liability for the non-contingent aspect of these guarantees as such amounts are not material. In assessing the need to record a liability for the contingent aspect of these guarantees, the Company considers its historical experience in being required to perform under the guarantees, the fair value of the collateral underlying these guarantees and the financial condition of the applicable unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, the Company monitors the fair value of the collateral of these unconsolidated joint ventures to ensure
12
that the related borrowings do not exceed the specified percentage of the value of the property securing the borrowings. To date, Beazer has not incurred any obligations related to repayment or loan-to-value maintenance guarantees. Based on these considerations, the Company has determined that it is remote that it will have to perform under the contingent aspects of these guarantees and, as a result, has not recorded a liability for the contingent aspects of these guarantees. To the extent the recording of a liability related to such guarantees would be required, the recognition of such liability would result in an increase to the carrying value of the Companys investment in the associated joint venture.

Emerging Task Force Issue No. 04-8: The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share (EITF 04-8) requires that shares issuable upon conversion of contingently convertible debt instruments
13
(Co-Cos) be included in diluted earnings per share computations using the if-converted method regardless of whether the issuers stock price exceeds the contingent conversion price. EITF 04-8 applies to the Companys 4 ⅝% Convertible Senior Notes issued in June 2004. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 excludes the impact of EITF 04-8 and all stock options and non-vested shares outstanding (see Note 2) because the inclusion of such would be antidilutive. Options to purchase 230,653 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2006, because the options exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during that period. There were no anti-dilutive shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

* Collectively, the Senior Notes |

|
|
Warehouse Line Effective January 11, 2006, Beazer Mortgage entered into a 364-day credit agreement with a number of banks to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans (the Warehouse Line). The Warehouse Line provides for a maximum available borrowing capacity of $250 million to $350 million based on commitment periods as defined in the Warehouse Line and is secured by certain mortgage loan sales and related property. The Warehouse Line is not guaranteed by Beazer Homes USA, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Senior Notes or Revolving Credit Facility. Beginning in the current quarter, Beazer Mortgage finances a portion of its mortgage lending activities with borrowings under the Warehouse Line. Borrowings under the Warehouse Line were $28.1 million and bore interest at 5.83% as of March 31, 2006. Beazer Mortgage had a pipeline of loans in process of approximately $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2006 which may be financed either through the Warehouse Line or the third party investors.
The Warehouse Line contains various operating and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2006.
Revolving Credit Facility - In August 2005 we entered into a new $750 million (expandable up to $1 billion), four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with a group of banks, which matures in August 2009. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our former $550 million revolving credit facility and $200 million term loan. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $50 million swing line
14
commitment and has a $350 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Substantially all of the Companys significant subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 11). The Revolving Credit Facility contains various operating and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2006. The Company has the option to elect two types of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility which incur interest as applicable based on either the Alternative Base Rate or the Applicable Eurodollar Margin (both as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility).
Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are limited to certain percentages of homes under contract, unsold homes, substantially improved lots, lots under development, raw land and accounts receivable. At March 31, 2006, we had $136.6 million of borrowings outstanding, and had available borrowings of $481.6 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at 5.78% as of March 31, 2006. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2005.
Senior Notes - - The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior indebtedness. Substantially all of our significant subsidiaries are full and unconditional guarantors of the Senior Notes and our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, and are jointly and severally liable for obligations under the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility. Each guarantor subsidiary is a 100% owned subsidiary of Beazer Homes.
The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on payment of dividends. At March 31, 2006, under the most restrictive covenants of each indenture, approximately $221.3 million of our retained earnings was available for cash dividends and for share repurchases. Each indenture provides that, in the event of defined changes in control or if our consolidated tangible net worth falls below a specified level or in certain circumstances upon a sale of assets, we are required to offer to repurchase certain specified amounts of outstanding Senior Notes.
We periodically acquire land through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, we had outstanding notes payable of $73.3 million and $46.1 million related to land acquisitions, respectively. These notes payable expire at various times through 2010 at variable rates ranging from 5.0% to 10.3% at March 31, 2006.
(8) Contingencies
Trinity Claims Beazer Homes and certain of its subsidiaries have been and continue to be named as defendants in various construction defect claims, complaints and other legal actions that include claims related to moisture intrusion and mold. The Company has experienced a significant number of such claims in its Indiana markets and particularly with respect to homes built by Trinity Homes LLC, a subsidiary which was acquired in the Crossmann acquisition in 2002.
As of March 31, 2006, there were eleven pending lawsuits related to such complaints received by Trinity. All eleven suits are by individual homeowners, and the cost to resolve these matters is not expected to be material, either individually or in the aggregate. Additionally, a class action suit was filed in the State of Indiana in August 2003 against Trinity Homes LLC. The parties in the class action reached a settlement agreement which was approved by the court on October 20, 2004.
15
The settlement class includes, with certain exclusions, the current owners of all Trinity homes that have brick veneer, where the closing of Trinitys initial sale of the home took place between June 1, 1998 and October 31, 2002. The settlement agreement establishes an agreed protocol and process for assessment and remediation of any external water intrusion issues at the homes which includes, among other things, that the homes will be repaired at Trinitys expense. The settlement agreement also provides for payment of plaintiffs attorneys fees and for Trinity to pay an agreed amount for engineering inspection costs for each home for which a claim is filed under the settlement.
Under the settlement, subject to Trinitys timely performance of the specified assessments and remediation activities for homeowners who file claims, each homeowner releases Trinity, Beazer Homes Investment Corp. and other affiliated companies, including Beazer Homes, from the claims asserted in the class action lawsuit, claims arising out of external water intrusion, claims of improper brick installation, including property damage claims, loss or diminution of property value claims, and most personal injury claims, among others. No appeals of the courts order approving the settlement were received by the court within the timeframe established by the court. The Company sent out the claims notices on December 17, 2004, and the class members had until February 15, 2005 to file claims. A total of 1,312 valid claims were filed (of the 2,161 total class members), of which 613 complaints had been received prior to the Companys receipt of the claim notices. Class members who did not file a claim by February 15, 2005 are no longer able to file a class action claim under the settlement or pursue an individual claim against Trinity. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had completed remediation of 479 homes related to 1,770 total Trinity claims.
Beazer Homes warranty reserves at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 include accruals for the Companys estimated costs to assess and remediate all homes for which Trinity had received complaints related to moisture intrusion and mold, including a provision for legal fees. Warranty reserves also include accruals for class action claims received, pursuant to the settlement discussed above, from class members who had not previously contacted Trinity with complaints.
The cost to assess and remediate a home depends on the extent of moisture damage, if any, that the home has incurred. Homes for which the Company receives complaints are classified into one of three categories: 1) homes with no moisture damage, 2) homes with isolated moisture damage or 3) homes with extensive moisture damage.
As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the Company accrued for its estimated cost to remediate homes that it had assessed and assigned to one of the above categories, as well as the Companys estimated cost to remediate those homes for which an assessment had not yet been performed. For purposes of the Companys accrual, the Company has historically assigned homes not yet assessed to categories based on its expectations about the extent of damage and trends observed from the results of assessments performed to date. In addition, the Company refined its cost estimation process to consider the subdivision of the claimant along with the categorization discussed above. Once a home is categorized, detailed budgets are used as the basis to prepare the Companys estimated costs to remediate such home.
During fiscal 2004, the Company initiated a program under which it offered to repurchase a limited number of homes from specific homeowners. The program was concluded during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company has repurchased a total of 54 homes under the program. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company sold four of the repurchased homes. The remaining 44 homes were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $14.6 million. The accrual at March 31, 2006 includes the estimated costs to sell
16
homes that the Company has repurchased, and the Companys estimated losses on the sale of those homes, if any.

The accruals at March 31, 2006 represent the Companys best estimates of the costs to resolve all asserted complaints. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company adjusted its estimate of these costs and the related accruals based on historical experience in resolving such complaints. Actual costs to assess and remediate homes in each category and subdivision, the extent of damage to homes not yet assessed, estimates of costs to sell repurchased homes, and losses on such sales could differ from the Companys estimates. As a result, the costs to resolve existing complaints could differ from the Companys recorded accruals and have a material adverse effect on the Companys earnings in the periods in which the matters are resolved. Additionally, it is possible that the Company will incur additional losses related to these matters, including additional losses related to homes for which the Company has not yet received complaints. However, the amount or range of such losses cannot be determined at this time.
Warranty Reserves Beazer Homes provides a limited warranty (ranging from one to two years) of workmanship and materials with each of its homes. Such warranty covers defects in plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilating systems and construction defects. In addition, the Company provides a limited warranty (generally ranging from a minimum of ten years up to the period covered by the applicable statute of repose) with each home, covering only certain defined construction defects. Since Beazer Homes subcontracts its homebuilding work to subcontractors who generally provide the Company with an indemnity and a certificate of insurance prior to receiving payments for their work, many claims relating to workmanship and materials are the primary responsibility of the subcontractors.
As noted above, the Companys warranty reserves at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 include accruals for Trinity moisture intrusion and related mold issues. Warranty reserves are included in other payables and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company records reserves covering anticipated warranty expense for each home closed. Management reviews the adequacy of warranty reserves each reporting period based on historical experience and managements estimate of the costs to remediate the claims and adjusts these provisions accordingly. While the Company believes that its warranty reserves are adequate, historical data and trends may not accurately predict actual warranty costs, or future developments could lead to a significant change in the reserve.

Other Contingencies - The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions, including matters relating to moisture intrusion and related mold claims, construction defects and product liability. Certain of the liabilities resulting from these actions are covered in whole or part by insurance. With respect to certain general liability exposures, including construction defect, moisture intrusion and related mold claims and product liability claims, interpretation of underlying current and future trends, assessment of claims and the related liability and reserve estimation process is highly judgmental due to the complex nature of these exposures, with each exposure exhibiting unique circumstances. In particular, for construction defect liability there is a high degree of uncertainty relating to the extent of insurance coverage, when losses occur, the size of each loss, expectations for future interpretive rulings concerning contract provisions, possible recovery against other responsible parties, and the extent to which the assertion of these claims will expand geographically. In the Companys opinion, based on its current assessment, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Beazer Homes financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We had performance bonds and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $551.6 million and $70.1 million, respectively, at March 31, 2006 related principally to our obligations to local governments to construct roads and other improvements in various developments in addition to the letters of credit of approximately $68.7 million relating to our land option contracts discussed in Note 3. We do not believe that any such letters of credit or bonds are likely to be drawn upon.
(9) Stock Repurchase Program
On November 18, 2005, as part of an acceleration of Beazers comprehensive plan to enhance stockholder value, the Companys Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Companys stock repurchase plan to ten million shares of the Companys common stock. The Company has entered into a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Act of 1934 to execute a portion of the share repurchase program, and may also make opportunistic purchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 2,021,800 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $133.2 million or approximately $66 per share pursuant to the plan.
(10) Segment Information (As Restated)
As defined in SFAS 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, we have 31 homebuilding operating segments operating in 22 states and one financial services segment. Revenues in our homebuilding segments are derived from the sale of homes which we construct and from land and lot sales. Revenues in our financial services segment are derived primarily from mortgage originations provided predominantly to customers of our homebuilding operations. Historically, the Company has reported its
18
homebuilding operations in one reportable segment. Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we have concluded that we should revise our segment disclosure for all periods presented by aggregating our homebuilding segments into four reportable segments, described below, for our homebuilding operations and one reportable segment for our financial services operations. The Company has restated the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to revise its segment disclosures for all periods presented. The segments reported have been determined to have similar economic characteristics including similar historical and expected future operating performance, employment trends, land acquisition and land constraints, and municipality behavior and meet the other aggregation criteria in SFAS 131. The reportable homebuilding segments, and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, include operations conducting business in the following states:
West: Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico
Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia
Florida
Southeast: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee
Other Homebuilding: Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas and Memphis, Tennessee
Managements evaluation of segment performance is based on segment operating income, which for our homebuilding segments is defined as homebuilding and land sale revenues less the cost of home construction, land development and land sales and certain selling, general and administrative expenses which are incurred by or allocated to our homebuilding segments. Segment operating income for our Financial Services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with our mortgage operations and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the Financial Services segment. The accounting policies of our segments are those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report and Note 2 herein.

(a) Corporate and unallocated includes amortization of capitalized interest and numerous shared services functions that benefit all segments, the costs of which are not allocated to the operating segments reported above including information technology, national sourcing and purchasing, treasury, corporate finance, legal, branding and other national marketing costs. The three and six months ended March 31, 2006 include a $6.5 million reduction in the accrual and costs related to the Trinity class action litigation settlement. The three and six months ended March 31, 2005 include $45.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, of warranty expenses associated with construction defect claims from water intrusion in Indiana (see Note 8). The three and six months ended March 31, 2005 also include a $130.2 million non-cash, non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge to write-off substantially all of the goodwill allocated to certain underperforming markets in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Charlotte, North Carolina.
(b) Primarily consists of cash and cash equivalents, consolidated inventory not owned, deferred taxes, and capitalized interest and other corporate items that are not allocated to the segments.
(11) Supplemental Guarantor Information
As discussed in Note 7, Beazer Homes obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest under certain debt are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees are full
20

We intend, subject to market conditions, to expand in our current markets through focused product expansion and price point diversification and to consider entering new markets either through expansion from existing markets or through acquisitions of established homebuilders. Our business strategy emphasizes further increasing our market penetration in those markets in which we currently operate most profitably, while continuously reviewing opportunities to curtail or limit investment in less profitable markets.
Our homes are designed to appeal to homeowners at various price points across various demographic segments, and are generally offered for sale in advance of their construction. Our objective is to provide our customers at each price-point with homes that incorporate exceptional value and quality while seeking to maximize our return on invested capital. To achieve this objective, we have developed a business strategy which focuses on geographic diversity and growth markets, leveraging our national brand, leveraging our size, scale and capabilities in order to optimize efficiencies and providing quality homes at various price points to meet the needs of diverse home buyers.
Our product strategy entails addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse profile of buyers as evidenced by demographic trends including, among others, increased immigration, changing profiles of households, the aging of the baby-boomers, and the rise of the echo-boomers (children of the baby-boomers) into the ranks of homeownership. Our product offering is broken down into three product categories: economy, value and style.
In addition, we also offer homes in all three categories to the active adult market which are targeted to buyers over 55 years of age, in communities with special amenities. Within each product category, we seek to provide exceptional value and to ensure an enjoyable customer experience.
Seasonal and Quarterly Variability: Our homebuilding operating cycle generally reflects escalating new order activity in the second and third fiscal quarters and increased closings in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.
Financial Services: Recognizing the homebuyers desire to simplify the financing process, we originate mortgages on behalf of our customers through our subsidiary Beazer Mortgage Corporation, or Beazer Mortgage. Beazer Mortgage originates, processes and brokers mortgages to third party investors. Beginning
27
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, Beazer Mortgage financed certain of our mortgage lending activities under its warehouse line of credit or from general corporate funds prior to selling the loans and their servicing rights to third-party investors. We also provide title services to our customers in many of our markets.
Additional Products and Services for Homebuyers: In order to maximize our profitability and provide our customers with the additional products and services that they desire, we have incorporated design centers into our business. Recognizing that our customers want to choose certain components of their new home, we offer limited customization through the use of design studios in most of our markets. These design studios allow the customer to select certain non-structural customizations for their homes such as cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, appliances and wall coverings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share Based Payment, which we adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. This statement eliminated the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that compensation expense be recognized based on the fair value on the date of the grant. The recognition of compensation expense for stock options reduced net income by approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. We elected the modified prospective method for our adoption of SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as both a financing cash flow and an operating cash outflow. This requirement reduced net operating cash flows and increased net financing cash flows beginning with its adoption in the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

(a) Homebuilding revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 exclude $9.7 million of revenue deferred in accordance with SFAS 66 for certain homes with mortgages originated by Beazer Mortgage for which the sale of the related mortgage loan to a third-party investor had not been completed as of March 31, 2006.
Revenues: Revenues increased by 30.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year as the number of homes closed and the average sales price of homes closed increased by 18.6% and 9.6%, respectively. Home closings increased in our Mid-Atlantic and Florida regions, our Texas, Indiana, Colorado, Ohio and Kentucky markets, the majority of our Southeast markets and in Arizona and Nevada in our West region. These increases were partially offset by declines in closings in our California markets in our West region. Prior quarter community opening delays and moderation of demand compared to last year resulted in decreased closings in California. Average sales price increased in most of our regions due to continued constraints on the supply of available housing in many of our markets. Prices increased most significantly in our Florida and Southeast regions.
In addition, we had approximately $20.6 million of land and lot sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as we continued to review opportunities to minimize underperforming investments and reallocate funds to investments that will optimize overall returns.
Revenues increased by 25.8% for the six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. Homes closed increased by 12.9% and the average sales price of homes closed increased by 10.4%. Home closings increased in the Companys Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions, our Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky markets, in parts of the Southeast, including South Carolina and Georgia and in Arizona, and Nevada in our West region. These increases were partially offset by declines in many of our California
29
markets in the West region, and parts of Tennessee and North Carolina in the Southeast region. Average sales price increased in all but our Texas markets, due primarily to product mix and constraints on the supply of available housing in many of our markets. Year to date, prices increased most significantly in our Florida and Southeast regions.
New Orders and Backlog: New orders decreased by 19.4% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 to 4,224 units, compared to 5,239 units for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in new home orders for the quarter resulted from decreases in almost all of the markets in our West, Mid-Atlantic and Florida regions and our Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky markets, offset slightly by increases in several markets in our Southeast region and our Texas and Colorado markets. These decreases were driven by moderating demand coupled with higher cancellations compared to the prior fiscal year. Specifically, declines in Arizona, Nevada and Northern California resulted from delays in community openings and moderating incremental demand. The decrease in new orders and backlog in Indiana was also due in part to our decision to exit two sub-markets in Indiana.
New orders decreased to 8,096 units, or 7.8%, during the six-month period ended March 31, 2006, compared to 8,784 units for the same period in the prior year. Orders decreased by 25.1% in our Mid-Atlantic region and 35.6% in our West region compared to the same six-month period a year ago due to lower demand and higher cancellations compared to the extremely high number of new orders received in the first six months of fiscal year 2005. These decreases were partially offset by increased orders of 11.2% in our Southeast region, 6.4% in our Florida region, and 36.1% and 22.7% in our Texas and Colorado markets, respectively, primarily attributable to strong new orders in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
The aggregate dollar value of homes in backlog of $2.79 billion at March 31, 2006 decreased 3.6% from $2.90 billion at March 31, 2005, reflecting an 8.3% decrease in the number of homes in backlog offset partially by a 5.1% increase in the average price of homes in backlog, from $288,000 at March 31, 2005 to $302,800 at March 31, 2006. The decrease in the number of homes in backlog is driven primarily by decreased order trends in the majority of states in our West and Mid-Atlantic regions partially driven by timing issues associated with community openings in Arizona, Nevada and Northern California. The increase in average price of homes in backlog is due to the success we are experiencing in diversifying our product offerings and relatively favorable pricing year-over-year in most of our major markets offset slightly by a decrease in the relative percentage of backlog in our higher-priced markets.
Gross Margin: Our gross margin was 24.8% in the second quarter, an improvement both from the first quarter, and year over year. Our gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 was negatively impacted by both $45 million of expenses associated with the Trinity class action settlement and $14 million of other warranty costs (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Our gross margin was 24.7% for the first six months of fiscal year 2006 compared to 21.0% for the comparable period of fiscal year 2005. Our gross margin for the six months ending March 31, 2005 was negatively impacted by both $55 million of expenses associated with the Trinity class action settlement and $14 million of other warranty costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) totaled $149.8 million and $282.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 and $108.1 million and $212.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. The increase in SG&A
30
expense during the periods presented is primarily related to costs associated with a number of strategic company-wide programs, higher sales commissions and higher incentive compensation.

West: Homebuilding revenues increased for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to increased average sales prices in the majority of the markets in this segment. Revenue growth also related to increased closings in Arizona and Nevada which were offset by declines in closings in certain of our California markets due to prior quarter delayed community openings. Gross margins were 25.8% and 25.4% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 27.1% and 28.3% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2005. Operating margins were 18.5% and 18.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 21.3% and 22.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in gross and operating margins is primarily due to softer market conditions in our California markets and increased costs for subdivision maintenance throughout the region.
Mid-Atlantic: Increased closings and higher average sales prices due to healthy demand and continued constraints on the supply of available housing resulted in increased homebuilding revenues for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005. For the six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, gross margins were 32.4% and 29.8%, respectively. Operating margins were 23.7% and 20.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in both gross and operating margins for the six months ended March 31, 2006 is primarily due to a strong pricing environment during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and the related increased contribution from higher average sales prices. Gross and operating margins for the three months ended in each of March 31, 2006 and 2005 were 31.5% and 22.8%, as gains on land sales in fiscal 2005 offset the higher price appreciation realized in 2006 as compared to 2005.
32
Florida: Homebuilding revenues increased for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to increased closings and increased average sales prices. Gross margins increased to 32.4% and 31.6% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, from 22.4% and 24.5% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2005. Operating margins increased to 22.8% and 22.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, from 11.5% and 12.9% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2005. The increase in gross and operating margins from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 is primarily due to the aforementioned increase in average sales prices, which resulted in a higher leverage of fixed overhead.
Southeast: For the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005, homebuilding revenues increased in our Southeast region driven by increased average sales prices in most of our markets and increased closings in our Georgia and South Carolina markets. New product offerings in Georgia and the South Carolina markets, including our Atlantic Station community in Georgia, and an improved product mix throughout the region contributed toward the increased average sales prices. Gross margins increased to 19.0% and 19.6% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, from 9.5% and 15.3% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2005. Operating margins increased to 5.6% and 7.3% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, from -2.1% and 4.4% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2005. The margin improvement from fiscal 2005 is principally due to approximately $14 million of warranty-related expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Other homebuilding: The increase in homebuilding revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 from March 31, 2005 reflected strong closings in a majority of our markets. This revenue growth was partially offset by pricing pressures in our Colorado and Ohio markets. Gross margins for our other homebuilding markets decreased from 14.2% and 14.9% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively, to 11.3% and 12.1% for comparable periods of fiscal 2006. Operating margins decreased from 0.4% and 1.6% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively, to -3.6% and -1.6% for comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in fiscal 2006 margins when compared to fiscal 2005 was primarily due to additional costs related to our decision to exit certain sub-markets in Indiana and Memphis, Tennessee and pricing pressures in our Colorado and Ohio markets.
Financial Services: Our capture rate (the percentage of mortgages we originate as a percentage of homes closed) of mortgages originated for customers of our homebuilding business, which is the most significant source of revenue in this segment, increased for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 from fiscal 2005 due primarily to our continued focus on serving our customer base. All costs related to Financial Services are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for Financial Services decreased for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from the comparable period of 2005 due primarily to higher price concessions and incentives offered in response to competitive pressures in the refinancing market.
Corporate and unallocated: Corporate and unallocated costs totaled $20.3 million and $41.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $194.8 million and $234.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005. Fiscal 2005 costs include $130.2 million non-cash, non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge recorded in March 2005 to write-off substantially all of the goodwill allocated to certain underperforming markets in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Charlotte, North Carolina. The three and six months ended March 31, 2005 also include $45.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, related to the warranty expenses associated with Trinity construction defect claims.
33
Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate was 37.37% and 37.50% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 and -49.61% and 125.70% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2005 was impacted by the aforementioned $130.2 million non-cash, non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge. The following table reconciles our effective tax rate reported in accordance with GAAP and our adjusted effective tax rate without this goodwill impairment charge:

The adjusted effective tax rate presented above is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful to both management and investors in the analysis of the Companys financial performance when comparing it to prior periods and that it provides investors with an important perspective on the current underlying effective tax rate of the business by isolating the impact of the non-cash, non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge. The decrease in adjusted effective tax rate between years is primarily due to changes in income concentrations in the various states and the timing of certain state tax initiatives. The principal difference between our effective rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is due to state income taxes incurred.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:
Our sources of cash liquidity include, but are not limited to, cash from operations, amounts available under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from senior notes and other bank borrowings, the issuance of equity securities and other external sources of funds. Our short-term and long-term liquidity depend primarily upon our level of net income, working capital management (accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities) and bank borrowings. We believe that available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements, scheduled debt and dividend payments, and interest and tax obligations for the next twelve months. However, any material variance of our operating results or land acquisitions from our projections or investments in or acquisitions of businesses, could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing. We plan to use cash generated to invest in growing the business, to fund land acquisitions and operations, pay dividends and to repurchase our common stock. We have targeted using $200-$250 million for repurchases of our common stock in fiscal 2006, subject to market conditions and other factors. We will fund this share repurchase program (discussed further below) by limiting or curtailing operations in underperforming markets, reinvesting in higher margin markets and accelerating cash generation through increased profitability. During the quarter, we formally curtailed operations in Memphis, Tennessee and certain Indiana sub-markets, with the expectation of redeploying capital related to these operations into higher returning opportunities prospectively.
At March 31, 2006, we had cash of $15.2 million, compared to $297.1 million at September 30, 2005. The decrease in cash was primarily due to fiscal year-to-date stock repurchases of approximately $133.2 million and the increase in inventory related to an increased land bank. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was $345.7 million compared to $251.4 million in the same period of fiscal
34
2005, as increased inventory supply and options for future growth and payments of income taxes and incentive compensation more than offset increased net income.
Net cash used in investing activities was $41.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $39.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2005, as we invested in unconsolidated joint ventures to support our land acquisition strategy. Net cash provided by financing activities was $104.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as increased book overdrafts and net borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and warehouse line of credit more than offset $133.2 million of common stock repurchases. Net cash used in financing activities of $13.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005 related primarily to dividend and other debt repayments.

*Collectively, the Senior Notes |

Warehouse Line: Effective January 11, 2006, Beazer Mortgage entered into a 364-day credit agreement with a number of banks to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans (the Warehouse Line). The Warehouse Line provides for a maximum available borrowing capacity of $250 million to $350 million based on commitment periods as defined in the Warehouse Line and is secured by certain mortgage loan sales and related property. The Warehouse Line is not guaranteed by Beazer Homes USA, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Senior Notes or Revolving Credit Facility. Beginning in the current quarter, Beazer Mortgage finances certain of its mortgage lending activities with borrowings under the Warehouse Line. Beazer Mortgage had a pipeline of loans in process of $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2006 which may be financed either through the Warehouse Line or third party investors.
The Warehouse Line contains various operating and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2006.
Revolving Credit Facility: In August 2005 we entered into a new $750 million (expandable up to $1 billion), four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with a group of banks, which matures in August 2009. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our former $550 million revolving credit facility and $200 million term loan. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $50 million swing line commitment and has a $350 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Substantially all of the Companys significant subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see
35
Note 11 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Revolving Credit Facility contains various operating and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2006. The Company has the option to elect two types of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility which incur interest as applicable based on either the Alternative Base Rate or the Applicable Eurodollar Margin (both as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility).
Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are limited to certain percentages of homes under contract, unsold homes, substantially improved lots, lots under development, raw land and accounts receivable. At March 31, 2006, we had $136.6 million of borrowings outstanding, and had available borrowings of $481.6 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at 5.78% as of March 31, 2006. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2005.
Senior Notes: The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior indebtedness. Substantially all of our significant subsidiaries are full and unconditional guarantors of the Senior Notes and our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, and are jointly and severally liable for obligations under the Senior Notes, and the Revolving Credit Facility. Each guarantor subsidiary is a 100% owned subsidiary of Beazer Homes.
The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on payment of dividends. At March 31, 2006, under the most restrictive covenants of each indenture, approximately $221.3 million of our retained earnings was available for cash dividends and for share repurchases. Each indenture provides that, in the event of defined changes in control or if our consolidated tangible net worth falls below a specified level or in certain circumstances upon a sale of assets, we are required to offer to repurchase certain specified amounts of outstanding Senior Notes.
We periodically acquire land through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, we had outstanding notes payable of $73.3 million and $46.1 million related to land acquisitions and development, respectively. These notes payable mature at various times through 2010 at variable rates ranging from 5.0% to 10.3% at March 31, 2006.
The following table illustrates changes to our contractual obligations related to debt as of March 31, 2006 due to the new Warehouse Line and additional notes entered into by the Company:

Our long-term debt and other contractual obligations (principally operating leases) are further described in notes 7, 8 and 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2005.
36
On November 18, 2005, as part of an acceleration of Beazers comprehensive plan to enhance stockholder value, the Companys Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Companys stock repurchase plan to ten million shares of the Companys common stock. The Company has entered into a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Act of 1934 to execute a portion of the share repurchase program, and may also make opportunistic purchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 2,021,800 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $133.2 million or approximately $66 per share pursuant to the plan.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and current borrowing capacity, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, is sufficient to meet liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that amounts available in the future from our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet future capital needs. The amount and types of indebtedness that we may incur may be limited by the terms of the indentures governing our Senior Notes and our Revolving Credit Facility. We may consider expansion opportunities through acquisition of established regional homebuilders and such opportunities could require us to seek additional capital in the form of equity or debt financing from a variety of potential sources, including additional bank financing and/or securities offerings.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS:
We acquire certain lots by means of option contracts. Option contracts generally require the payment of cash for the right to acquire lots during a specified period of time at a certain price and the purchase of the properties is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by us and the sellers. Our obligation with respect to options with specific performance provisions is included on our consolidated balance sheets in other liabilities. Under option contracts without specific performance obligations, our liability is generally limited to forfeiture of the non-refundable deposits, letters of credit and other non-refundable amounts incurred, which aggregated approximately $351.8 million at March 31, 2006. This amount includes letters of credit of approximately $55.6 million. As of March 31, 2006, the aggregate exercise price of our option contracts, net of cash deposits, was approximately $3.1 billion.
We expect, subject to market conditions, to exercise substantially all of our option contracts. We have historically funded the exercise of land options through a combination of operating cash flows and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We expect these sources to continue to be adequate to fund anticipated future option exercises. Therefore, we do not anticipate that the exercise of our land options will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.
Certain of our option contracts are with sellers who are deemed to be Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Our risk is generally limited to the option deposits that we pay, and creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, for those option contracts for which we are the primary beneficiary, we are required to consolidate the land under option at fair value. We believe that the exercise prices of our option contracts approximate their fair value. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 reflect consolidated inventory not owned of $336.5 million and $230.1 million, respectively. Obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned totaled $244.4 million at March 31, 2006 and $166.2 million at September 30, 2005. The difference
37
between the balances of consolidated inventory not owned and obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned represents cash deposits paid under the option agreements.
We participate in a number of land development joint ventures in which we have less than a controlling interest. We enter into joint ventures in order to acquire attractive land positions, to manage our risk profile and to leverage our capital base. Our joint ventures are typically entered into with developers, other homebuilders and financial partners to develop finished lots for sale to the joint ventures members and other third parties. We account for our interest in these joint ventures under the equity method. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include investments in joint ventures totaling $114.6 million and $78.6 million at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 respectively.
Our joint ventures typically obtain secured acquisition and development financing. In some instances, we and our joint venture partners have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At March 31, 2006, we had a repayment guarantee of $10.7 million related to our portion of debt of one of our unconsolidated joint ventures and loan-to-value maintenance guarantees of $32.9 million related to certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures (see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our joint ventures and related guarantees).
There have been no material changes to our aggregate contractual commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2005.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
As discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters and relate to inventory valuation, goodwill, homebuilding revenues and costs and warranty reserves. Although our accounting policies are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. There have been no material changes to the assumptions and estimates related to these critical accounting policies other than those related to revenue recognition and our accounting for stock-based compensation.
Revenue and related profit are generally recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer. In situations where the buyers financing is originated by Beazer Mortgage, our wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, and the buyer has not made a sufficient down payment as prescribed by SFAS No. 66, the gross profit on such sales is deferred until the sale of the related mortgage loan to a third-party investor has been completed. We recognize loan origination fees and expenses and gains and losses on mortgage loans when the related loans are sold.
Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted the provision of SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation expense be recognized based on the fair value on the date of the grant. We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the fair value of performance-based share awards using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, estimated forfeiture rates, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected dividend yield and expected stock option exercise behavior.
38
Prior to October 1, 2005, we accounted for stock option grants in accordance with APB 25 and recognized no compensation expense for stock options since the exercise price of the options was equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. For the six months ended March 31, 2006, the recognition of compensation expense for stock options reduced net income by approximately $1.8 million.
OUTLOOK:
The current sales environment in many markets is more difficult than previously anticipated. In addition, as we proactively optimize our capital base and are exiting those markets and selling certain land positions returning less than our overall cost of capital, we do incur some incremental period costs. As such, as of April 27, 2006 we broadened our range for fiscal 2006 diluted earnings per share to $10.00 - - $10.50 per share to explicitly address these factors. This represents growth over adjusted 2005 earnings per share of $8.72 or 15-20%. This outlook assumes no further deterioration in new order trends during the remaining spring and summer months of this year.
We remain committed to our stated goal of enhancing margins and profitability by executing our Profitable Growth Strategy. As part of this strategy, we will continue to reallocate capital to those investments which will yield the highest returns, and return capital to our stockholders through our share repurchase program while maintaining a sound financial position.
Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this quarterly report will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as estimate, project, believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, foresee, likely, will, goal, target or other similar words or phrases. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this quarterly report. Except as may be required under applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the matters discussed in this quarterly report in the sections captioned Outlook and Financial Condition and Liquidity. Additional information about factors that could lead to material changes in performance is contained in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as of September 30, 2005. Such factors may include:
economic changes nationally or in local markets;
volatility of mortgage interest rates and inflation;
increased competition;
shortages of skilled labor or raw materials used in the production of houses;
increased prices for labor, land and raw materials used in the production of houses;
39
increased land development costs on projects under development;
the cost and availability of insurance, including the availability of insurance for the presence of mold;
the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;
a material failure on the part of Trinity Homes LLC to satisfy the conditions of the class action settlement agreement;
any delays in reacting to changing consumer preference in home design;
terrorist acts and other acts of war;
changes in consumer confidence;
changes in levels of demand;
delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce production and overhead cost structure;
delays in land development or home construction resulting from adverse weather conditions;
potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations, or governmental policies and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations and governmental policies;
changes in accounting policies, standards, guidelines or principles, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies as well as the FASB; or
other factors over which the Company has little or no control.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates. We do not believe that our exposure in this area is material to cash flows or earnings. As of March 31, 2006, we had $233.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on our outstanding borrowings under our variable rate debt at March 31, 2006, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would negatively impact our annual pre-tax interest cost by approximately $2.3 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q/A, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Further our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to
40
management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company has re-evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that re-evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company had reasonable support for its original position and that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures are still effective. The Company has considered the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 10 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in arriving at this conclusion. The Company does not believe the change in segment disclosure represents a material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures for a number of reasons. The long-standing historical practice of all large, geographically diverse homebuilders has been to report homebuilding operations as one segment. While the new disclosure represents a change in judgment as to the application of SFAS 131, the additional disclosure did not result in any change to the Companys consolidated financial position or its results of operations and cash flows for any of the periods presented. Also, the Companys disclosures in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have historically included extensive disclosure regarding performance of the Companys various markets, including disclosures regarding differences in its various geographic regions. While the additional footnote disclosure includes certain additional information, it does not represent a material change in the information provided regarding the Companys performance by region.
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In November 2003, the Company received a request for information from the EPA pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act seeking information concerning the nature and extent of storm water discharge practices relating to certain of our projects completed or under construction. The EPA has since requested information on additional projects and has conducted site inspections at a number of locations. In certain instances, the EPA or the equivalent state agency has issued Administrative Orders identifying alleged instances of noncompliance and requiring corrective action to address the alleged deficiencies in storm water management practices. As of March 31, 2006, no monetary penalties have been imposed in connection with such Administrative Orders. The EPA has reserved the right to impose monetary penalties at a later date, the amount of which, if any, cannot currently be estimated. The Company has taken action to comply with the requirements of each of the Administrative Orders and is working to otherwise maintain compliance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions, including claims relating to moisture intrusion and related mold claims,
41
construction defects and product liability. Certain of the liabilities resulting from these actions are covered by insurance. In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased shares of Beazer common stock under an increased ten million stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on November 18, 2005(a). Under this program, the Company may purchase shares at any time in the open market or in private transactions as market conditions warrant.
The following table sets forth information on the Companys common stock repurchase program activity for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
