(1)
Due to the computation of earnings/(loss) per share, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the full-year results.
(2)
In the third quarter of 2012, we recorded an $8.7 million charge related to a litigation accrual.
(3)
In the fourth quarter of 2012, we reversed $79.9 million of our deferred tax asset valuation reserve and recorded an $8.4 million tax expense.

We typically experience seasonal variability in our quarterly operating results and capital requirements. Historically, we sell more homes in the first half of the year, which results in more working capital requirements and home closings in the third and fourth quarters. However, during economic downturns or times of certain government incentives, our results may not follow our historical trends.
