Factors That May Affect Our Future Results (Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) An adverse change in economic conditions could reduce the demand for homes and, as a result, could reduce our earnings. The homebuilding industry is highly competitive and, if others are more successful, our business could decline. If land is not available at reasonable prices, our sales and earnings could decrease. If the market value of our land and homes drops significantly, our profits could decrease. Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses or limit our homebuilding activities, which could have a negative impact on our operations. Expansion of regulation in the housing industry has increased the time required to obtain the necessary approvals to begin construction and has prolonged the time between the initial acquisition of land or land options and the commencement and completion of construction. These delays can increase our costs and decrease our profitability. Increases in taxes or government fees could increase our costs, and adverse changes in tax laws could reduce customer demand for our homes. Adverse weather conditions and conditions in nature beyond our control could disrupt the development of our communities, which could harm our sales and earnings. If we experience shortages of labor and supplies or other circumstances beyond our control, there could be delays or increased costs in developing our communities, which could adversely affect our operating results. Product liability litigation and warranty claims that arise in the ordinary course of business may be costly, which could adversely affect our business. If we are not able to obtain suitable financing, our business may decline. If our potential customers are not able to obtain suitable financing, our business may decline. Our principal stockholders may effectively exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval. Our business is seasonal in nature, so our quarterly operating results fluctuate. Changes in tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws may negatively affect our operating results. Our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected if legal claims are brought against us and are not resolved in our favor. Future terrorist attacks against the United States or increased domestic or international instability could have an adverse effect on our operations.
