NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of NVR, Inc. (NVR or the Company) and its subsidiaries and certain other entities in which the
Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise noted
herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, comprehensive income
equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the
accompanying financial statements. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on the net income or
retained earnings previously reported.
2. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Revised Interpretation No.
46 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was effective for NVR as of
March 31, 2004. FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to
consolidate that entity in its financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entitys expected
losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both, as a result of
ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Expected losses are the
expected negative variability in the fair value of an entitys net assets, exclusive of its
variable interests, and expected residual returns are the expected positive variability in the fair
value of an entitys net assets, exclusive of its variable interests. As discussed below, NVR
evaluates the provisions of FIN 46R as it relates to NVRs finished lot acquisition strategy.
NVR does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company typically
acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed
price purchase agreements. The purchase agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR
fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in
the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts, and typically range up to 10% of the
aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. As of September 30, 2006, the Company controlled
approximately 98,000 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately
$594,000 and $17,000, respectively.
The Company believes that this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and
risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose
for any reason
8
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent
not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVRs sole legal obligation and economic loss for
failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant
to the liquidating damage
provisions contained within the purchase agreements. In other words, if NVR does not perform under
a purchase agreement, NVR loses only its deposit. NVR does not have any financial or specific
performance guarantees, or completion obligations, under these purchase agreements, with the
exception of two specific performance contracts pursuant to which the Company is committed to
purchasing approximately seven finished lots at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130.
None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase
agreements have recourse to the general credit of NVR. Except as described below, NVR also does
not share in an allocation of either the profit earned or loss incurred by any of these entities
with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements.
On a very limited basis, NVR also obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability
corporations (LLCs). All LLCs are structured such that NVR is a non-controlling member and is
at risk only for the amount invested. NVR is not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any of the
LLCs debt. NVR enters into a standard fixed price purchase agreement to purchase lots from the
LLCs.
At September 30, 2006, NVR had an aggregate investment in twelve separate LLCs totaling
approximately $14,000, which controlled approximately 800 lots. NVR recognizes its share of the
earnings of the LLCs as an adjustment of the cost basis of the lots at the time that the lot and
related home is settled with an external customer. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005, NVR adjusted cost of sales by approximately $260 and $240, respectively, which
represented NVRs share of the earnings of the LLCs.
Forward contracts, such as the fixed price purchase agreements utilized by NVR to acquire
finished lot inventory, are deemed to be variable interests under FIN 46R. Therefore, the
development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements, including the LLCs,
are examined under FIN 46R for possible consolidation by NVR of such development entities on NVRs
financial statements. NVR has developed a methodology to determine whether it, or conversely, the
owner(s) of the applicable development entity is the primary beneficiary of a development entity.
The methodology used to evaluate NVRs primary beneficiary status requires substantial management
judgment and estimation. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various
estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the development entitys expected profits and losses
and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of finished lots under contract.
Although management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess NVRs
primary beneficiary status relative to its involvement with the development entities from which NVR
acquires finished lots, changes to the probabilities and the cash flow possibilities used in NVRs
evaluation could produce widely different conclusions regarding whether NVR is or is not a
development entitys primary beneficiary.
The Company has evaluated all of its fixed price purchase agreements and LLC arrangements and
has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of twenty-eight of those development entities
with which the agreements and arrangements are held. As a result, at September 30, 2006, NVR has
consolidated such development entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Where NVR deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of a development entity created after
December 31, 2003 and the development entity refused to provide financial statements to NVR, NVR
utilized estimation techniques to perform the consolidation. The effect of the consolidation under
FIN 46R at September 30, 2006 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $262,534 as Assets not
owned, consolidated per FIN 46R, with a corresponding inclusion of $207,579 as Liabilities related
to assets not owned, consolidated per FIN 46R, after elimination of intercompany items. Inclusive
in these totals were assets of approximately $25,000 and liabilities of approximately $20,000
estimated for five development entities created after December 31, 2003 that did not provide
financial statements.

NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
Under FIN 46R, an enterprise with an interest in a variable interest entity or potential
variable interest entity created before December 31, 2003, is not required to apply FIN 46R to that
entity if the enterprise, after making an exhaustive effort, is unable to obtain the information
necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate the variable interest entity for which
it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. At September 30, 2006, NVR has been unable to
obtain the information necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate seven separate
development entities created before December 31, 2003 for which NVR determined it was the primary
beneficiary. NVR has made, or has committed to make, aggregate deposits, totaling approximately
$8,200 to these seven separate development entities, with a total aggregate purchase price for the
finished lots of approximately $69,000. The aggregate deposit made or committed to being made is
NVRs maximum exposure to loss. As noted above, because NVR does not have any contractual or
ownership interests in the development entities with which it contracts to buy finished lots (other
than the limited use of the LLCs as discussed above), NVR does not have the ability to compel
these development entities to provide financial or other data to NVR. Because NVR has no ownership
rights in any of these seven development entities, the consolidation of such entities has no impact
on NVRs net income or earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Aggregate activity with respect to the seven development entities is included in the following
table:

3. Contract Land Deposits
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred pre-tax
charges of approximately $80,800 and $114,000, respectively, related to the impairment of contract
land deposits due to deteriorating market conditions in the homebuilding industry. These
impairment charges were recorded in cost of sales on the accompanying condensed, consolidated
statement of income. The contract land deposit asset is shown net of a $110,000 and $31,919
impairment valuation allowance at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.
4. Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006 (the Effective Date), the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to fiscal year 2006 and the adoption of SFAS 123R, NVR
followed the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation
arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees.
SFAS 123R requires an entity to recognize an expense within its income statement for all
share-based payment arrangements, which includes employee stock option plans. The expense is
based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted, and is recognized ratably over the
requisite service period. NVR adopted SFAS 123R under the modified prospective method.
Under the modified prospective method, 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 Companys stock options
are accounted for as equity awards.
NVRs option plans provide for the granting of stock options to certain key employees of
the Company to purchase shares of common stock. The exercise price of options granted is
equal to the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Options are
granted for a ten-year
11

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
term, and vest in separate tranches over periods of 7 to 9 years, depending upon the plan from
which the shares were granted. For options granted prior to May 2005, vesting was predicated
solely on continued employment over a long-term vesting schedule (service-only options).
For options granted in May 2005 and thereafter, option vesting is contingent first on the
Company achieving an aggregate four-year diluted earnings per share target, and if that target
is met, then on continued employment over a five year period subsequent to the conclusion of
the performance period (performance condition options). At September 30, 2006, there was an
aggregate of 2,761,433 options outstanding, and an additional 261,058 options were available
for grant, under existing stock option plans.
The following table provides additional information relative to NVRs stock option plans:

To estimate the grant-date fair value of its stock options, the Company uses the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model estimates the per share fair value of
an option on its date of grant based on the following: the options exercise price; the price of
the underlying stock on the date of grant; the estimated dividend yield; a risk-free interest
rate; the estimated option term; and the expected volatility. For the risk-free interest rate,
the Company uses a U.S. Treasury Strip due in a number of years equal to the options expected
term. NVR has concluded that its historical exercise experience is the best estimate of future
exercise patterns to determine an options expected term. To estimate expected volatility, NVR
analyzed the historic volatility of its common stock. The estimated fair value of the options
granted under SFAS 123R during the first nine months of 2006 was calculated using the following
assumptions:

Compensation cost for service-only option grants is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (from the date of grant through
the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant). Compensation cost for
performance condition option grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period for each vesting tranche of the award as if the award was, in
substance, multiple awards (graded vesting attribution method). Of the 2,761,433 options
outstanding at September 30, 2006, 2,334,795 vest solely based on a service condition, and
426,638 vest based on a combined performance and service condition. Compensation cost is
recognized in the income statement in the same expense line as the cash compensation paid to
the respective employees. SFAS 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in
calculating the expense
12
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
related to stock-based compensation. NVR has concluded that its historical forfeiture rate is
the best measure to estimate future forfeitures of granted stock options. The impact on
compensation costs due to changes in the expected forfeiture rate will be recognized in the
period that they become known.
The effect of adopting SFAS 123R on the period ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:

unvested stock option awards equals approximately $258,000, and the weighted-average period
over which the unrecognized compensation will be recorded is equal to approximately 5.3 years.

As discussed in note 4, NVR adopted SFAS 123R on the modified prospective basis. Prior
period amounts have not been restated. Beginning in 2006 with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the
assumed proceeds used in the treasury method for calculating NVRs diluted earnings per share
includes the amount the employee must pay upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost attributed
to future services and not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be credited to
additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the option. Beginning in 2006, the assumed amount
credited to additional paid-in capital equals the tax benefit from assumed exercise after
consideration of the intrinsic value upon assumed exercise less the actual stock-based compensation
expense to be recognized in the income statement in 2006 and future periods. During 2005 when the
Company was still accounting for its stock-based compensation under APB 25, there was no
compensation cost attributed to future services included in the assumed proceeds calculation, and
the amount assumed to be credited to additional paid-in capital equaled the full assumed tax
benefit resulting from the intrinsic value of the options upon the assumed exercise.
Service-only options to purchase 237,146 and 120,852 shares of common stock during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and 1,750 shares of common stock during the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive options for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2005. In addition, the 376,350 options outstanding
under the 2005 Stock Option Plan, 9,055 options outstanding under the 1998 Directors Long-Term
Stock Option Plan, 26,555 options outstanding under the 2000 Broadly-Based Stock Option Plan, and
14,678 options outstanding under the 1998 Management Long-Term Stock Option Plan are considered
performance-based equity compensation, and accordingly, have been excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per share because the performance target has not been achieved as of September 30,
2006, pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share.
6. Excess Reorganization Value, Goodwill and Other Intangibles
SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires goodwill and reorganization value in
excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets (excess reorganization value) to be tested for
impairment on an annual basis subsequent to the year of adoption. The Company completed the annual
assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2006, and as of September 30, 2006, management
believes that goodwill, indefinite life intangibles, and excess reorganization value were not
impaired.

7. Debt
The Company increased its commitment under its existing revolving credit agreement by $45,000
and by $155,000 in the first and third quarters of 2006, respectively, increasing the total
commitment to $600,000. There were no changes made to any other terms of the credit agreement.
During the third quarter of 2006, NVRs mortgage revolving warehouse credit facility
(Warehouse Credit Facility) was amended, extending the expiration date to August 23, 2007 and
decreasing the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Warehouse Credit Facility provides for
borrowings up to $175,000, of which the Company had $168,062 outstanding at September 30, 2006.
The other terms and conditions of the facility are materially the same as the previous Warehouse
Credit Facility.

The Company repurchased approximately 289,000 shares of its common stock during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006.
9. Product Warranties
The Company establishes warranty and product liability reserves to provide for estimated
future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation
incidental to NVRs homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on
managements judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost
of corrective action, manufacturers and subcontractors participation in sharing the cost of
corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with
our general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. The
following table reflects the changes in the Companys warranty reserve during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

10. Segment Disclosures
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, management determined that the notes
to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be amended to provide expanded
disclosure of reportable segments pursuant to SFAS 131, Disclosures of Reportable Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company had historically aggregated its
homebuilding operating activity into a single reportable segment. This amendment
disaggregates the homebuilding single reportable segment presentation into four homebuilding
reportable segments. This amendment has no impact on our consolidated balance sheets as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, or our consolidated statements of income and related
earnings per share amounts, consolidated statements of cash flows or consolidated statements
of shareholders equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Consistent with the principles and objectives of SFAS 131, the following disclosure
includes four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically the Companys
homebuilding operating segments, and the mortgage banking operations presented as a single
reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of operating divisions
in the following geographic areas:
Homebuilding Mid Atlantic Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware
Homebuilding North East New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania
Homebuilding Mid East Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and western Pennsylvania
Homebuilding South East North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee
Homebuilding profit before tax includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of
homes, less the cost of homes sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, and a corporate
capital allocation charge determined at the corporate headquarters. The corporate capital
allocation charge eliminates in consolidation, is based on the segments average net assets
employed, and is charged using a consistent methodology in the periods presented. The corporate
capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker to
determine whether the operating segments results are providing the desired rate of return after
covering the Companys cost of capital. We record charges on contract land deposits when we
determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting
purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are charged to the operating segment upon the
determination to terminate a finished lot purchase agreement with the developer. Mortgage banking
profit before tax consists of revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and
closing services, less the costs of such services and general and administrative costs. Mortgage
banking operations are not charged a capital allocation.
In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments
discussed above, the other reconciling items between homebuilding segment profit and homebuilding
consolidated profit before tax include unallocated corporate overhead, consolidation adjustments,
stock option compensation expense, and external corporate interest. NVRs overhead functions, such
as accounting, treasury, human resources, land acquisition, etc., are centrally performed and the
costs of which are not allocated to the Companys

(dollars in thousands except per share data)
operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items to convert the reportable
segments results, which are predominantly maintained on a cash basis, to a full accrual basis for
external financial statement presentation purposes, and are not allocated to the Companys
operating segments. Likewise, stock option compensation expenses are also not charged to the
operating segments. External corporate interest expense is primarily comprised of interest charges
on the Companys outstanding Senior Notes and working capital line borrowings, and are not charged
to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation
discussed above.
Following are tables presenting revenues, segment profit and segment assets for each
reportable segment, with reconciliations to the amounts reported for the consolidated
enterprise, where applicable:

11. Legal Proceedings
In 2006 and 2005, NVR received requests for information pursuant to Section 308(a) of the
Clean Water Act (the Act) from Regions 3 and 4 of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (the EPA). The requests sought information regarding the Companys storm water
management discharge practices in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia during
the homebuilding construction process. NVR has provided the EPA with information in response
to each of its requests. Additionally, in 2005, the EPA notified the Company of alleged storm
water management violations under the Act at a homebuilding site in Pennsylvania, and that the
Company may potentially be subject to administrative fines of up to $157 for the alleged
violations. The Company has completed its building activity at the homebuilding site alleged
to be in violation. NVR cannot predict the outcome of the EPAs review of our storm water
management practices. Further, it is not known at this time whether the EPA will seek to take
legal action or impose penalties in connection with the alleged violation at the construction
site in Pennsylvania.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Overview
Our Business
Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes,
townhomes and condominium buildings. To fully serve our homebuilding customers, we also operate
a mortgage banking and title services business. Our homebuilding reportable segments consist of
the following markets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mid Atlantic:
|
|
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware |
|
|
North East:
|
|
Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey |
|
|
Mid East:
|
|
Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Ohio and western Pennsylvania |
|
|
South East:
|
|
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee |
We believe that we operate our business with a conservative operating strategy. We do not
engage in land development and primarily construct homes on a pre-sold basis. This strategy
allows us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk
and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital.
In addition, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we
serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our
markets which management believes contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional
economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets.
19
Because we are not active in the land development business, our continued success is
contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots at current market
prices on which to build, and on our developers ability to timely deliver finished lots to meet
the sales demands of our customers. We acquire finished lots from various development entities
under fixed price purchase agreements (purchase agreements). These purchase agreements
require deposits in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to
perform under the purchase agreement. However, we believe this lot acquisition strategy reduces
the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. As
of September 30, 2006, we controlled approximately 98,000 lots with deposits in cash and letters
of credit totaling approximately $594,000 and $17,000, respectively.
Current Overview
The current home sales environment is characterized by an increase in the number of
existing and new homes available for sale, higher mortgage interest rates (which are beginning
to moderate to year ago levels), and declining homebuyer confidence. As a result of these
market conditions, new orders for the third quarter of 2006 declined by 18% from the third
quarter of 2005, with significant declines occurring in our Baltimore (Baltimore, MD
metropolitan area and adjacent counties in Pennsylvania), and Washington (Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area and adjacent counties in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia) sub-markets,
which declined 38% and 18%, respectively. Year to date new orders for 2006 have declined 8%
from the same period in 2005. In addition to lower sales, the current market conditions are
exerting downward pressure on selling prices, and in response, we have increased incentives to
homebuyers and reduced prices in many of our markets. These selling price pressures resulted in
our overall average selling price declining 9% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the year
ago quarter, negatively impacting gross profit margins in the current period. We expect that
these reduced selling prices will further negatively impact gross profit margins in future
periods. Additionally, our new order cancellation rate increased to 27% in the current quarter
from 15% during the same period in 2005 and 13% in the second quarter of 2006. Increased
cancellations led to a higher unsold inventory balance at September 30, 2006 of approximately
$89,800, as compared to approximately $53,300 at September 30, 2005 and $60,400 at December 31,
2005.
The Company is actively involved in implementing other strategic steps to address the
currently challenging homebuilding market. In certain communities, we are seeking concessions
from our developers to reduce lot purchase prices to current market values and/or to defer
scheduled lot purchases. In communities where we are unsuccessful in negotiating necessary
concessions, we may exit the community and forfeit our deposit. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, we recorded a contract land deposit impairment charge of approximately
$80,800, and for the year to date period we recorded contract land deposit impairment charges of
approximately $114,000. For the nine-month 2005 period, our contract land deposit impairments
totaled $7,700. See note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
for additional information regarding contract land deposits.
During the quarter we adjusted staffing levels to size our organization to meet the current
expected level of sales activity, and we consolidated certain of our homebuilding profit
centers. We plan to continue to assess our staffing levels and organizational structure as
conditions warrant.
Current Financial Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, consolidated revenues increased 13% from the same
period in 2005 due to higher settlement volume and a higher average settlement price per unit.
However, net income and diluted earnings per share in the current quarter decreased 32% and 19%,
respectively, as compared to the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006, consolidated revenues increased 25% from the same period in 2005. Net income decreased
5% over the same comparative periods, while diluted earnings per share increased 12% period over
period as a result of our continuing share repurchase program.
20
We implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R in the first
quarter of 2006, which resulted in a consolidated pre-tax charge of $41,010 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. See note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding stock based compensation.

Consolidated Homebuilding Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Homebuilding revenues increased 13% for the third quarter of 2006 from the same period in 2005
as a result of an 8% increase in the number of units settled and a 5% increase in the average
settlement price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate
quarter over quarter.
Gross profit margins in the third quarter of 2006 declined as compared to the third quarter of
2005 as a result of an increase in contract land deposit impairment charges of approximately
$78,000. These land deposit impairments negatively impacted gross profit margins by 529 basis
points for the quarter. In addition, gross profit margins were negatively impacted by the downward
pressure on selling prices experienced during 2006, resulting from higher selling incentives
required to generate sales, and higher lot and certain commodity costs, excluding lumber. We
expect continued gross profit margin pressure over at least the next several quarters due to the
current market conditions.
New orders for the third quarter of 2006 decreased 18% from the same period in 2005. The new
order reduction was primarily a result of an increasingly competitive sales environment driven by
affordability issues partially resulting from higher mortgage interest rates quarter over quarter,
and higher levels of new and existing home inventory for sale as discussed in the Overview section
above. Net new orders were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in our cancellation rate for
the current quarter to 27% from 15% in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in the cancellation
rate was driven by higher cancellations in our largest sub-markets, Washington and Baltimore.
Cancellation rates in the Washington sub-market were 39% in the current quarter compared to 19% in
the third quarter of 2005 and 21% in the second quarter of 2006. In the Baltimore sub-market the
cancellation rate was 24% in the current quarter as compared to 11% and 14% in the third quarter of
2005 and the second quarter of 2006, respectively. The average sales price of new orders decreased
9% from the third quarter of 2005. The decline is a result of a 25% decline in average new order
price in Washington, and to a lesser extent, to a shift in new orders into lower priced markets
from our higher priced Washington and Baltimore sub-markets.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter increased by
approximately $8,900, but as a percentage of revenue remained consistent with the prior year at
approximately 6.3%. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in
marketing costs and the
21
recording of compensation costs associated with the implementation of SFAS 123R in 2006,
offset partially by lower management incentive compensation costs. Marketing costs increased
approximately $4,900 due primarily to an 18% increase in the average number of active communities
to 609 in the third quarter of 2006, from 518 for the same period in 2005. During the third quarter
of 2006, we recognized approximately $12,500 in SG&A compensation costs related to outstanding
stock options compared to approximately $2,400 in the third quarter of 2005 (see note 4 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional discussion). Management
incentive compensation costs were $7,200 lower in the current quarter.
Consolidated Homebuilding Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Homebuilding revenues increased 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the
prior year due to a 16% increase in the number of units settled and an 8% increase in the average
settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled is attributable to a 13% higher
number of homes in backlog entering 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Additionally, we
have experienced a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. The increase in the average
settlement price is primarily attributable to a 12% higher average price of homes in the beginning
backlog period over period.
Gross profit margins in the first nine months of 2006 declined as compared to the first nine
months of 2005 as a result of an increase in contract land deposit impairments of approximately
$106,000 period over period. These land deposit impairments reduced gross profit margins by 256
basis points for the year to date period ended September 30, 2006. In addition, gross profit
margins were negatively impacted by the downward pressure on selling prices experienced during
2006, resulting from higher selling incentives required to generate sales, and higher lot and
certain commodity costs, excluding lumber. As previously discussed, we expect gross profit margins
to continue to be negatively impacted by the current market conditions.
New orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased by 8% from the same period
in 2005. New orders in Washington and Baltimore declined 20% and 19%, respectively, primarily as a
result of an increasingly competitive sales environment driven by affordability issues partially
resulting from higher mortgage interest rates year over year, and higher levels of new and existing
home inventory for sale as discussed in the Overview. Net new orders were also unfavorably
impacted by an increase in our cancellation rate to 18% in the first nine months of 2006 from 11%
in the same period 2005. The average sales price of new orders decreased 6% as a result of a shift
in new orders into lower priced markets in our North East, Mid East and South East markets, and an
11% decline in average new order price in the Washington sub-market.
SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately
$85,900 as compared to the same period in 2005, and as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.4%
from 6.9% for the respective periods. The increase in SG&A expenses is attributable to an increase
in marketing costs of approximately $26,200 attributable to a 20% increase in the average number of
active communities year over year and an approximate $12,900 increase in personnel costs due to
higher average staffing levels year over year. We have reduced approximately 10% of our employee
base in the first nine months of 2006, which will result in cost savings in the fourth quarter and
future periods. Additionally, as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123R in 2006, we
recognized approximately $37,000 in SG&A compensation costs related to outstanding stock options
compared to approximately $2,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (see note 4 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion).
Backlog units and dollars were 7,388 and $3,132,419, respectively, as of September 30, 2006
compared to 8,875 and $3,831,608 as of September 30, 2005. The decrease in backlog units is
attributable to the aforementioned decrease in new orders coupled with an improved backlog turnover
rate year over year. Backlog dollars are 18% lower primarily as a result of the 17% decrease in
backlog units.

Reportable Segments
Homebuilding profit before tax includes all revenues and income generated from the sale
of homes, less the cost of homes sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, and a
corporate capital allocation charge determined at the corporate headquarters. The corporate
capital allocation charge eliminates in consolidation, is based on the segments average net
assets employed, and is charged using a consistent methodology in the periods presented. The
corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating
Decision Maker to determine whether the operating segments results are providing the desired
rate of return after covering the Companys cost of capital. We record charges on contract
land deposits when we determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired.
For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are charged to the
operating segment upon the determination to terminate a finished lot purchase agreement with
the developer.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $64,000 reduction in segment profit quarter over
quarter. Revenues increased 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the prior year
quarter due to a 6% increase in the number of units settled and a 7% increase in the average
settlement price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate
quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price is primarily attributable to a
4% higher average price of homes in the beginning backlog period over period. The Mid Atlantic
segments gross profit margin percentage decreased to 25.3% in 2006 from 34.6% in 2005. Gross
profit margins were negatively impacted by contract land deposit impairment charges of $29,000, the
downward pressure on selling prices experienced during 2006, resulting from higher selling
incentives required to generate sales, and higher lot and certain commodity costs, excluding
lumber. Selling and marketing costs also increased approximately $4,800 due primarily to a 20%
increase in the average number of active communities to 290 in the third quarter of 2006, from 242
for the same period in 2005.
New orders for the third quarter of 2006 decreased 24% from the same period in 2005. New
orders in the Baltimore and Washington sub-markets declined 38%, and 18%, respectively. The new
order reduction was primarily a result of an increasingly competitive sales environment driven by
affordability issues partially resulting from higher mortgage interest rates quarter over quarter,
and higher levels of new and existing home inventory for sale as discussed above. The Mid Atlantic
segments net new orders were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in our cancellation rate to
31% in 2006 from 15% in 2005. The segments overall average sales price of new orders decreased
13% from the third quarter of 2005, with the Washington sub-market declining 25%.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $14,000 increase in segment profit period over
period. Revenues increased 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the prior year
period on a 17% increase in the number of units settled and a 9% increase in the average settlement
price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a 14% higher unit backlog at the beginning
of the period and a higher backlog turnover rate period over period. The increase in the average
settlement price is primarily attributable to a 15% higher average price of homes in the beginning
backlog period over period. The segments gross profit margin percentage fell to 29.3% in 2006
from 34.1% in 2005. Gross profit margins were adversely affected by land impairment charges of
approximately $33,000, the downward pressure on selling prices experienced during 2006, resulting
from higher selling incentives required to generate sales, and higher lot and certain commodity
costs, excluding lumber. Selling and marketing costs also increased approximately $24,000 due
primarily to a 23% increase in the average number of active communities open for sale to 280 in the
2006 nine month period, from 228 for the same period in 2005. Backlog units and dollars decreased
approximately 21% each on the comparative new order reduction of 16% and higher backlog turn.
North East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The North East segment had an approximate $3,000 increase in segment profit quarter over
quarter. Revenues increased 28% primarily on a 27% increase in the number of units settled. The
increase in units settled is attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter.
Gross profit margins decreased to 19.8% in 2006 from 22.2% in 2005 from the downward pressure in
selling prices experienced in 2006. New orders for the third quarter of 2006 decreased 15% from
the same period in 2005, as a result of the competitive sales environment, higher mortgage interest
rates, and higher levels of new and existing home inventory for
25
sale as discussed above.
Cancellation rates in the North East segment also increased to 18% in the 2006 quarter from 12% in
2005.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The North East segment had an approximate $17,000 increase in segment profit period over
period. Revenues increased 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the prior year
period due principally to a 44% increase in the number of units settled. The increase in the
number of units settled is primarily attributable to a 10% higher beginning backlog period over
period, a 10% increase in new orders for the first six months of 2006, and a higher backlog turn.
Gross profit margins decreased slightly to 20.1% in 2006 from 21.0% in 2005. Backlog units and
dollars
were 27% and 29% lower, respectively, than the 2005 period, due to the comparative higher
backlog turn experienced during the period.
Mid East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The Mid East segment had an approximate $5,000 reduction in segment profit quarter over
quarter. Revenues decreased 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the prior year
quarter due to a 4% decrease in the average settlement price offset by a 2% increase in the number
of units settled. The decrease in the average settlement price is primarily attributable to a
lower average price of homes in the beginning backlog period over period. Gross profit margins
decreased to 17.5% from 18.7%. Gross profit margins were adversely affected by the downward
pressure in selling prices experienced in 2006 and contract land deposit impairment charges of
approximately $2,700 during the 2006 period. New orders for the third quarter of 2006 decreased
21% from the same period in 2005, also as a result of the competitive sales environment and higher
mortgage interest rates as discussed above. Cancellation rates in the Mid East segment increased
to 28% in the 2006 quarter from 17% in 2005.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The Mid East segment had an approximate $12,000 decrease in segment profit period over period.
Revenues increased 5% on an 8% increase in the number of units settled. The increase in the number
of units settled is primarily attributable to a 10% higher beginning backlog period over period.
The average settlement price declined 2% from the 2005 nine month period, and gross profit margins
decreased to 17.1% in 2006 from 18.4% in 2005. Gross profit margins were adversely affected by the
downward pressure in selling prices experienced in 2006 and contract land deposit impairment
charges of approximately $2,800 during the 2006 period. Selling, general and administrative costs
also increased approximately $8,500 due primarily to the increase in revenues and an average number
of communities open for sales to 188 in 2006 from 156 in 2005. Backlog units and dollars were 5%
and 7% lower, respectively, than the 2005 period.
South East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The South East segment has not been as severely impacted by the recent adverse economic
conditions within the homebuilding industry. The segment had an approximate $11,000 increase in
segment profit quarter over quarter. Revenues increased 32% for the three months ended September
30, 2006 from the prior year quarter due to an 11% increase in the number of units settled and a
17% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a
higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price is
primarily attributable to a 21% higher average price of homes in the beginning backlog period over
period. Gross profit margins increased to 22.3% in 2006 from 19.6% in 2005, and new orders and
average new order price increased 3% and 22%, respectively.
26
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
The South East segment had an approximate $26,000 increase in segment profit period over
period. Revenues increased 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the prior year
period due to an 11% increase in the number of units settled and an 18% increase in the average
settlement price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a higher beginning backlog at
the beginning of the period and a higher backlog turnover rate period over period. The increase in
the average settlement price is primarily attributable to a 13% higher average price of homes in
the beginning backlog period over period. Gross profit margins increased to 22.2% in 2006 from
19.8% in 2005, and new orders and average new order price increased 4% and 21%, respectively.
Gross margins have increased primarily due to stronger market conditions and our ability increase
prices. The higher backlog turn has resulted in a lower number of units in backlog at September
30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005. Backlog dollars were 18% higher than the 2005 period due
to the comparative higher average selling price of 21% during the period.
Homebuilding Segment Reconciliations to Consolidated Homebuilding Operations
In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments
discussed above, the other reconciling items between homebuilding segment profit and
homebuilding consolidated profit before tax include unallocated corporate overhead,
consolidation adjustments, stock option compensation expenses, and external corporate
interest. NVRs overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury, human resources, land
acquisition, etc., are centrally performed and the costs of which are not allocated to the
Companys operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items to convert the
reportable segments results, which are predominantly maintained on a cash basis, to a full
accrual basis for external financial statement presentation purposes, and are not allocated to
the Companys operating segments. Likewise, stock option compensation expenses are not
charged to the operating expenses. External corporate interest expense is primarily comprised
of interest charges on the Companys outstanding Senior Notes and working capital line
borrowings, and are not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in
the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

Loan closing volume for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 14% over the same
period for 2005. The 2006 increase is primarily attributable to an 8% increase in the number of
units closed and a 5% increase in the average loan amount. Loan closing volume for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 increased 22% over the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily
attributable to a 14% increase in the number of units closed, and a period over period 7% increase
in the average loan amount. The unit increases for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 reflect increases in the number of homes that we settled in the 2006 respective periods, as
noted above. The increases in the average loan amount for the three and nine-month periods reflect
the aforementioned increase in the homebuilding segments average settlement prices.
Segment income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $850 from
the same period for 2005. The increase is primarily due to a net increase in mortgage banking fees
attributable to the aforementioned increase in closed loan volume and to a shift in the product mix
towards fixed rate mortgages, which are generally more profitable than adjustable rate mortgages,
offset partially by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,100
period over period. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due primarily to $866
in stock-based compensation expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006.
Segment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $8,806
from the same period for 2005. The increase is primarily due to a net increase in mortgage banking
fees attributable to the aforementioned closed loan volume increase and the product mix shift
towards fixed rate mortgages. The increase in mortgage banking fees was partially offset by an
approximate $2,000 increase in contractual repayments of loan sale income to investors for loans
that were paid in full within a set number of days following the sale of the loan. General and
administrative costs increased approximately $5,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the same period for 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due
to higher salary and other personnel costs and to $2,592 in stock-based compensation expense in
2006.
29
NVRM is dependent on our homebuilding segments customers for business. As sales and selling
prices of the homebuilding segment decline, NVRMs operations will also be adversely affected.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our operations with cash flows provided by our operating activities, a short-term
credit facility and the public debt and equity markets. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006, our operating activities provided cash of $252,398. Operating cash was primarily provided
by our homebuilding operations and was used to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of
approximately $217,000 as a result of an increase in units under construction at September 30,
2006 compared to December 31, 2005. The presentation of operating cash flows was also reduced
by $82,809, which is the amount of the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock
options during the period and credited directly to additional paid in capital. As required by
SFAS 123R, which we adopted effective January 1, 2006, excess tax benefits credited directly to
additional-paid-in capital resulting from stock-based compensation must be presented as an
operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.
Net cash used for investing activities was $15,480 for the period ended September 30, 2006,
due primarily to property and equipment purchases throughout the period.
Net cash used for financing activities was $175,839 for the period ended September 30,
2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we repurchased approximately 289,000
shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $183,286 under our ongoing common
stock repurchase program, discussed below. We also reduced net borrowings under the working
capital and mortgage warehouse facilities by approximately $92,000. Cash was provided by the
realization of $82,809 in excess income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, which
pursuant to SFAS 123R, must be reported as a financing cash inflow.
In addition to our homebuilding operating activities, we also utilize a short-term
unsecured working capital revolving credit facility (the Facility) to provide for working
capital cash requirements. We amended the Facility to increase the commitment by $45,000 and $155,000 in the first and
third quarters of 2006, respectively, increasing the aggregate commitment to $600,000 at
September 30, 2006, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. The Facility expires in
December 2010 and outstanding amounts bear interest at either (i) the prime rate plus an
applicable margin (as defined within the Facility) based on our credit rating and/or debt to
capital ratio or (ii) the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus the applicable margin.
Up to $150,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of
credit, of which $25,069 was outstanding at September 30, 2006. There were no direct borrowings
outstanding under the Facility as of September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there were no
borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available to us for borrowings.
Our mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating
activities using cash generated from operations as well as a short-term credit facility. The
mortgage banking segment utilizes an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility with an
aggregate available borrowing limit of $175,000 to fund its mortgage origination activities. The
interest rate under the Revolving Credit Agreement is either: (i) LIBOR plus 1.00%, or (ii) 1.125%
to the extent that NVRM provides compensating balances. No other material terms of the credit
facility were amended from the previous agreement. There was $168,062 outstanding under this
facility at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there were no borrowing base limitations
under the facility.
In addition to funding growth in our homebuilding and mortgage operations, we
historically have used a substantial portion of our excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding
shares of our common stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. This
ongoing repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations,
and is typically executed in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We believe the repurchase program assists us in
accomplishing our primary objective of increasing shareholder value.
30
See Part II, Item 2 of
this Form 10-Q for disclosure of amounts repurchased during the third quarter of 2006. We
expect to continue to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time subject to
market conditions and available excess liquidity.
In 2004, we filed a shelf registration statement (Shelf) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) to register up to $1,000,000 for the future offer and sale of debt
securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares representing preferred shares and
warrants. The SEC declared the Shelf effective on June 15, 2004. The proceeds received from
any future offerings issued under the Shelf are expected to be used for general corporate
purposes. In addition, we have $55,000 available for issuance under a prior shelf registration
statement filed with the SEC on January 20, 1998. The prior shelf registration statement, which
was declared effective on February 27, 1998, provides that securities may be offered from time
to time in one or more series and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. This discussion
of our shelf registration capacity does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
We believe that internally generated cash and borrowings available under credit facilities and
the public debt and equity markets will be sufficient to satisfy near and long term cash
requirements for working capital in both our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate the estimates we use to
prepare the consolidated financial statements, and update those estimates as necessary. In
general, managements estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third
party professionals, and other various assumptions that management believes to be reasonable
under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates
made by management.
Variable Interest Entities
Revised Financial Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, which was effective for us as of March 31, 2004, requires the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity to consolidate that entity in its financial statements. The primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable
interest entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual
returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the
entity. Expected losses are the expected negative variability in the fair value of an entitys
net assets exclusive of its variable interests, and expected residual returns are the expected
positive variability in the fair value of an entitys net assets, exclusive of its variable
interests.
Forward contracts, such as the fixed price purchase agreements utilized by us to acquire
finished lot inventory, are deemed to be variable interests under FIN 46R. Therefore, the
development entities with which we enter fixed price purchase agreements are examined under FIN 46R
for possible consolidation by us, including certain joint venture limited liability corporations
(LLCs) utilized by us to acquire finished lots on a limited basis. We have developed a
methodology to determine whether we, or, conversely, the owner(s) of the applicable development
entity, are the primary beneficiary of a development entity. The methodology used to evaluate our
primary beneficiary status requires substantial management judgment and estimates. These judgments
and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative
to the development entitys expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes
in the fair value of finished lots under contract. Although we believe that our accounting policy
is designed to properly assess our primary beneficiary status relative to our involvement with the
development entities from which we
31
acquire finished lots, changes to the probabilities and the cash
flow possibilities used in our evaluation could produce widely different conclusions regarding
whether we are or are not a development entitys primary beneficiary, possibly resulting in
additional, or fewer, development entities being consolidated on our financial statements. See
note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein for further information.
Homebuilding Inventory
The carrying value of inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of lots
and completed and uncompleted housing units represent the accumulated actual cost thereof. Field
construction supervisors salaries and related direct overhead expenses are included in inventory
costs. Interest costs are not capitalized into inventory. Upon settlement, the cost of the units
is expensed on a specific identification basis. Cost of manufacturing materials is determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. Recoverability and impairment, if any, is primarily evaluated by
analyzing sales of comparable assets. We believe that our accounting policy is designed to
properly assess the carrying value of our homebuilding inventory.
Contract Land Deposits
We purchase finished lots under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may
be forfeited if we fail to perform under the contract. The deposits are in the form of cash or
letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of
the finished lots. We maintain an allowance for losses on
contract land deposits that we believe is sufficient to provide for losses in our existing contract
land deposit portfolio. The allowance reflects managements judgment of the present loss exposure
at the end of the reporting period, considering market and economic conditions, sales absorption
and profitability within specific communities and terms of the various contracts. Although we
consider the allowance for losses on contract land deposits reflected on the September 30, 2006
balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be
adequate over time to cover losses due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or other
events adversely affecting specific markets or the homebuilding industry. See note 3 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.
Intangible Assets
Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (excess reorganization value),
goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not subject to amortization upon the adoption of
SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Rather, excess reorganization value, goodwill and
other intangible assets are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a
fair-value based test. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that
indicate that the remaining value of excess reorganization value, goodwill and other intangible
assets may not be recoverable. We completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first
quarter of 2006, and as of September 30, 2006, we believe that excess reorganization value,
goodwill and other intangible assets were not impaired. This conclusion is based on our judgment,
considering such factors as our history of operating success, our well recognized brand names and
the significant positions held in the markets in which we operate. However, changes in strategy or
adverse changes in market conditions could impact this judgment and require an impairment loss to
be recognized for the amount that the carrying value of excess reorganization value, goodwill
and/or other intangible assets exceeds their fair value.
Warranty/Product Liability Accruals
Warranty and product liability accruals are established to provide for estimated future
expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental
to our business. Liability estimates are determined based on managements judgment, considering
such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers
and subcontractors participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with
third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with our general
32
counsel and outside counsel
retained to handle specific product liability cases. Although we consider the warranty and product
liability accrual reflected on the September 30, 2006 balance sheet (see note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements) to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will
prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to increased costs for material and labor, the
inability or refusal of manufacturers or subcontractors to financially participate in corrective
action, unanticipated adverse legal settlements, or other unanticipated changes to the assumptions
used to estimate the warranty and product liability accrual.
Stock Option Expense
Beginning in 2006 with our adoption of SFAS 123R, we are required to recognize within our
income statement compensation costs related to our stock based compensation plans. The costs
recognized are based on the grant-date fair value. Compensation cost for service-only option
grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire
award (from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the
grant). Compensation cost for performance condition option grants is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the
award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards (graded vesting attribution method).
We calculate the fair value of our, employee stock options using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. While the Black-Scholes model is a widely accepted method to calculate the
fair value of options, its results are dependent on input variables, two of which, expected term
and expected volatility, are significantly dependent on managements judgment. We have concluded
that our historical exercise experience is the best estimate of future exercise patterns to
determine an options expected term. To estimate expected volatility, we analyze the historic
volatility of our common stock. Changes in managements judgment of the expected term and the
expected volatility could have a material effect on the grant-date fair value calculated and
expensed within the income statement. In addition, we are required to estimate future option
forfeitures when considering the amount of stock-based compensation costs to record. We have
concluded that our historical
forfeiture rate is the best measure to estimate future forfeitures of granted stock options.
However, there can be no assurance that our future forfeiture rate will not be materially higher or
lower than our historical forfeiture rate, which would affect the aggregate cumulative compensation
expense recognized. Further, although we believe that the compensation cost recognized during the
quarter and period ended September 30, 2006 is representative of the ratable amortization of the
grant-date fair value of unvested options outstanding and expected to be exercised, changes to the
estimated input values such as expected term and expected volatility could produce widely different
fair values. See note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for
additional information on our adoption of SFAS 123R.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. For additional information regarding market risk, see our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design
and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no
changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the
evaluation referred to above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
33
As described in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have amended
Note 10 to disaggregate our one homebuilding segment into four reportable segments. Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have
re-evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
Report to determine whether this amendment changes their prior conclusion, and have determined
that it does not change our conclusion that, as of September 30, 2006, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective. The change in the way we report segment information did not
result in any change to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary
course of business. At this time, we are not involved in any legal proceedings that we
believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations. See note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion
of notification received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding
alleged violations of Section 308(a) of the Clean Water Act.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 in response to Item 1A. to Part 1 of such Form
10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
