(1) In accordance with ASC 360-10 and as previously discussed in Note 1, in 2011 we recorded $6.1 million of inventory impairments, $2.8 million of option deposit and pre-acquisition write-offs, and $6.5 of impairments on land held for sale.

 

(2) Due to the computation of earnings/(loss) per share, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the full-year results.

 

(3) In 2010 we recorded $5.4 million of inventory impairments, $1.0 million of option deposit and pre-acquisition write-offs, $295,000 of joint venture impairments and $17,000 of impairments on land held for sale.

 

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 the current economic downturn and the enactment and expiration of certain government incentives, our results may not follow our historical trends.
