____________________


(1) Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (loss) (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense, (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges and deposit write-offs, (e) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiary. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as one measure of our ability to service debt and obtain financing. However, it should be noted that Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measure. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operations or any other liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Overview

Our 2012 second quarter reflected a continuation of the positive momentum we experienced during the first quarter, with new home deliveries up 34%, revenues up 35%, net new orders up 45%, and homes in backlog up 62% as compared to the year earlier period. Net income for the quarter was $14.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. The $24.8 million year over year improvement in net income is attributable to several factors, including the continued execution of our strategy of constructing well built, innovatively designed, and energy efficient homes targeted at the discriminating "move-up" homebuyer; our focus on increasing base prices, reducing sales incentives and controlling costs; and the operating leverage inherent in our business. With over $292 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and the additional amounts that remain available under our revolving credit facility, we believe we have ample liquidity to continue the progress we have made against our strategy.

Homebuilding pretax income for the 2012 second quarter was $11.9 million compared to a pretax loss of $10.5 million in the year earlier period. The improvement in our financial performance was primarily the result of a 35% increase in home sale revenues, a $6.0 million decrease in inventory impairment charges and a $5.8 million decrease in interest expense.

(1) Numbers presented regarding unconsolidated joint ventures reflect total deliveries of such joint ventures.

The increase in new home deliveries (exclusive of joint ventures) was driven primarily by a 55% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the year earlier period and a 13% increase in speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter to 285 homes, compared to 253 homes.

Our consolidated average home price (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 second quarter was essentially flat when compared to the year earlier period. This reflects a product mix shift to more move-up homes within our Florida and Colorado markets and general price increases in the Carolinas, offset by a decrease in average home prices in California, primarily as a result of a higher percentage of deliveries from our more affordable Inland Empire and Sacramento communities.

Gross Margin

Our 2012 second quarter gross margin percentage from home sales increased to 20.5% compared to 17.0% in the 2011 second quarter which included $6.0 million of housing inventory impairment charges. Excluding inventory impairment charges, our 2011 second quarter adjusted gross margin percentage from home sales was 20.0%. The increase in our gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding inventory impairment charges, was primarily attributable to the improvement in gross margins from speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter, partially offset by an increase in previously capitalized interest included in cost of home sales. For the first six months of 2012, our gross margin percentage from home sales was 20.4% versus 18.4% (20.2% excluding inventory impairment charges) for the prior year period. Please see the table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to our gross margin from home sales.

The table set forth below reconciles our homebuilding gross margin and gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to gross margin and gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding housing inventory impairment charges:

____________________

We believe that the measure described above, which excludes inventory impairment charges, is useful to our management and investors as it provides a perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business by isolating our results from home sales and excluding impairment charges and provides comparability with information presented by the Company's peer group. However, it should be noted that such measure is not a GAAP financial measure and other companies in the homebuilding industry may calculate this measure differently. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP

SG&A Expenses

Our 2012 second quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $42.0 million compared to $38.4 million for the prior year period which included approximately $2.2 million of severance and other charges incurred in connection with the change in our Chief Financial Officer position. Excluding these charges, our 2011 second quarter adjusted SG&A rate from home sales was 17.8% (please see the table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to our SG&A rate from home sales) versus a SG&A rate from home sales of 15.3% in the 2012 second quarter. The 250 basis point improvement in our adjusted SG&A rate was primarily the result of a 35% increase in home sale revenues and the operating leverage inherent in our business. Our SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 also included $0.6 million of severance charges recorded during the 2011 first quarter in connection with restructuring efforts to adjust our workforce to align with lower sales volume.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We recognized a $1.1 million loss from unconsolidated joint ventures during the 2012 second quarter compared to a $0.4 million loss in the year earlier period. The 2012 second quarter loss from unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily attributable to our share of loss related to a Southern California land development joint venture. Please see Note 9 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we expensed $1.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of interest costs related to the portion of our debt in excess of our qualified assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we expensed $7.4 million and $18.0 million, respectively, of interest costs. The decline in our year-over-year interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the level of qualified assets during the 2012 periods compared to the prior year periods. To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified assets in the future, we will continue to be required to expense a portion of the interest related to such debt.
