D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013


NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (which are referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals and the asset impairment charges, loss reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowance discussed below) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

The statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2012, including the cash flows for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as reflected in Note O, have been corrected to reflect a $3.2 million use of cash previously reflected in operating activities to cash used in investing activities related to the net principal increase of other mortgage loans and real estate owned. The Company has determined that the impact to prior period financial statements is not material. As other prior period financial information is presented, the Company will similarly revise the statements of cash flows in its future filings.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 or subsequent periods.

Variable Interests

The Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of the option purchase contracts, many of the option deposits are not refundable at the Company’s discretion.

Option purchase contracts can result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option. There were no variable interest entities reported in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 because the Company determined it did not control the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance. The maximum exposure to loss related to the Company’s variable interest entities is limited to the amounts of the Company’s related option deposits. At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the amount of option deposits related to these contracts totaled $31.4 million and $32.0 million, respectively, and are included in homebuilding other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, this guidance was amended by ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to certain derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2013 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” which provides the option to perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the asset is considered impaired, an entity is required to perform the quantitative assessment under the existing guidance. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


NOTE B – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a national homebuilder that is engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes on the land, with operations in 77 markets in 26 states across the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached homes on lots it develops and on finished lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots to other developers and homebuilders where it has excess land and lot positions. The homebuilding segments generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.

The Company also provides mortgage financing and title agency services, primarily to its homebuilding customers, and generally sells the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. The financial services segment generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

The Company’s 34 homebuilding operating divisions and its financial services operation are its operating segments. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments and the financial services operating segment is its own reporting segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments are: East, Midwest, Southeast, South Central, Southwest and West. These reporting segments have homebuilding operations located in the following states:
 
East:
 
Delaware, Georgia (Savannah only), Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia
 
Midwest:
 
Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota
 
Southeast:
 
Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi
 
South Central:

NOTE C – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

During the past few years, the Company invested a portion of its cash on hand by purchasing marketable securities with maturities in excess of three months. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, all of the Company's marketable securities either matured or were sold, with total proceeds of $325.4 million and a minimal gain.


NOTE D – INVENTORY IMPAIRMENTS AND LAND OPTION COST WRITE-OFFS

At March 31, 2013, the Company reviewed the performance and outlook for all of its land inventory and communities for indicators of potential impairment and performed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. The Company performed impairment evaluations of communities with a combined carrying value of $181.0 million and determined that no communities were impaired. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the same period of 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.3 million to reduce the carrying value of impaired communities in its East and Southeast homebuilding reporting segments to their estimated fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.8 million recorded in the same period of 2012.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company wrote off $1.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and land option costs related to land option contracts which are not expected to be acquired. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company wrote off $3.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of these deposits and costs.

At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had $23.9 million and $32.6 million, respectively, of land held for sale, consisting of land held for development and land under development that met the criteria of land held for sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
March 31, 2013


Homebuilding:

The Company has a five-year, $600 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce available borrowing capacity and may total no more than $300 million in the aggregate. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. At March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding and $41.2 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the Company's leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September 2012, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

In February 2013, the Company issued $400 million principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due February 15, 2018 and$300 million principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due February 15, 2023, with interest payable semi-annually. The notes represent unsecured obligations of the Company. The annual effective interest rate of the $400 million senior notes and the $300 million senior notes, after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 3.8% and 4.9%, respectively.

In accordance with the indenture governing the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014, when cash dividends are paid in excess of $0.0375 per share in any fiscal quarter, the conversion rate related to these notes increases. As a result of the cash dividend of $0.15 per share which was paid on December 21, 2012 (see Note J), the conversion rate of the 2% convertible senior notes increased from 76.5697 to 77.18004 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes. The new conversion rate is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.96 per share of common stock, compared to the initial conversion price of $13.06 per share. If all of the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014 were converted into the Company's common stock, the Company would issue 38.6 million shares of its common stock as a result of the conversion.

Effective August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's debt securities effective through July 31, 2013. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2013.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 120 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In March 2013, the mortgage repurchase facility was renewed and amended, and new commitments from banks were obtained which increased the total capacity of the facility from $180 million to $300 million. The facility's capacity can be increased to $400 million subject to the availability of additional commitments. The maturity date of the facility is now February 28, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
March 31, 2013


As of March 31, 2013, $373.3 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $347.9 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $102.1 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $245.8 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2013 at a 2.8% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported monthly. At March 31, 2013, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.


NOTE F – CAPITALIZED INTEREST

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. The Company’s inventory under active development and construction was lower than its debt level during the periods; therefore, a portion of the interest incurred was reflected as interest expense.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized, expensed as interest expense and charged to cost of sales during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE G – MORTGAGE LOANS

To manage the interest rate risk inherent in its mortgage operations, the Company hedges its risk using various derivative instruments, which include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) and put options on both MBS and EDFC. Use of the term “hedging instruments” in the following discussion refers to these securities collectively, or in any combination. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. At March 31, 2013, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $394.3 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $382.9 million. At September 30, 2012, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $345.3 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $332.9 million. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company had net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $26.7 million and $54.2 million, respectively, compared to $14.9 million and $25.1 million in the same periods of 2012. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in financial services revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately 56% of the mortgage loans sold by DHI Mortgage during the six months ended March 31, 2013 were sold to one major financial institution.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
March 31, 2013


Newly originated loans that have been closed but not committed to third-party purchasers are hedged to mitigate the risk of changes in their fair value. Hedged loans are committed to third-party purchasers typically within three days after origination. The notional amounts of the hedging instruments used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale vary in relationship to the underlying loan amounts, depending on the movements in the value of each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the mortgage loans held for sale, which for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was not significant, and is recognized in financial services revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a notional amount of $223.5 million in mortgage loans held for sale not committed to third-party purchasers and the notional amounts of the hedging instruments related to those loans totaled $224.0 million.

Other Mortgage Loans and Loss Reserves

Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions which include industry-standard representations and warranties, primarily involving the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, insurability if applicable and, depending on the agreement, may include requiring a minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company generally does not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. Other mortgage loans generally consist of loans repurchased due to these limited recourse obligations. Typically, these loans are impaired and some become real estate owned through the foreclosure process. At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company’s total other mortgage loans and real estate owned, before loss reserves were as follows:

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated losses on other mortgage loans, real estate owned and future loan repurchase obligations due to the limited recourse provisions, all of which are recorded as reductions of financial services revenue. The loss reserve for loan recourse obligations is estimated based on an analysis of loan repurchase requests received, actual repurchases and losses through the disposition of such loans or requests, discussions with mortgage purchasers and analysis of mortgages originated. The reserve balances at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were as follows:

Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives

The Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At March 31, 2013, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value, totaled $332.2 million.

Table of Contents

D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
March 31, 2013


The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and hedging instruments. These instruments are considered derivatives in an economic hedge and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in financial services revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a notional amount of approximately $15.7 million of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and a notional amount of $283.0 million of hedging instruments related to IRLCs not yet committed to purchasers.


NOTE H – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 was $31.1 million and $72.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $3.2 million in the same periods of fiscal 2012. The difference between the effective tax rates and the federal statutory rate of 35% during the 2013 periods is primarily due to the $18.7 million reduction in the Company's valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as described below. The Company did not have meaningful effective tax rates for the 2012 periods because of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and related activity during those periods.

At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $703.2 million and $751.4 million, respectively, offset by valuation allowances of $23.2 million and $41.9 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the Company needed to generate approximately $1.3 billion of pre-tax income in fiscal 2013 and in future periods before its federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards expire to realize its federal deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2012, the Company had federal NOL carryforwards of $310.5 million that expire in fiscal 2030 and 2031.

At June 30, 2012, the Company determined it was more likely than not that the substantial majority of the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized, which resulted in a $753.2 million reversal of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012. The Company evaluated both positive and negative evidence to determine its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. In its evaluation, the Company gave more significant weight to evidence that was objective in nature as compared to subjective evidence. Also, more significant weight was given to evidence that directly related to the Company's recent financial performance as compared to indirect or less recent evidence.

The Company gave the most significant weight in its evaluation to the objective, direct positive evidence related to its recent strong financial results, especially its positive and growing levels of pre-tax income and its significant growth in net sales orders and sales order backlog during fiscal 2012. The Company estimated that if its annual pre-tax income remains at the fiscal 2012 level in future years, it would realize all of its federal net operating losses in less than five years, well in advance of the expiration of the Company's NOL carryforwards in fiscal 2030 and 2031, and it would also absorb all federal deductible temporary differences as they reverse in future years. Additionally, the Company considered, at a lower weighting, the subjective, direct positive evidence that it expected to increase its pre-tax income in future years by utilizing its strong balance sheet and liquidity position to invest in opportunities to sustain and grow its operations. If industry conditions weaken, the Company expected to be able to adjust its operations to maintain long-term profitability and still realize its deferred tax assets.

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company had given significant weight to the negative, direct evidence of its three-year cumulative pre-tax loss position as a result of losses incurred in prior years during the housing downturn. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had generated positive cumulative pre-tax income for the past three years and therefore, the prior year losses were weighted less than the recent positive financial results in the Company's evaluation at June 30, 2012. Other negative, indirect evidence, such as the overall weakness in the U.S. economy and the housing market and the restrictive mortgage lending environment, was considered at a lower weighting because the Company's recent financial performance had been achieved in this environment. Also, the negative, direct evidence of the Company's gross profit margins, which were lower than historical levels before the housing downturn, were considered at a lower weight than the direct, positive evidence of its growing pre-tax income levels.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
March 31, 2013


The most significant changes in the Company's evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax assets at June 30, 2012 were the development of significant positive evidence related to the Company's accelerating growth in pre-tax income, net sales orders and backlog as fiscal 2012 progressed; the Company's expectation to realize all of its federal net operating losses in less than five years and to absorb all federal deductible temporary differences as they reverse in future years based on fiscal 2012 pre-tax income levels; the Company's expectation of sustained and increasing profitability in future years; and the lessening of the significance of the negative evidence considered in prior periods related to the Company's pre-tax losses incurred in prior years, because the Company had generated positive cumulative pre-tax income for the past three years as of June 30, 2012. These significant changes in the evidence at June 30, 2012 led the Company to determine that it was appropriate to reverse all of the valuation allowance related to its federal deferred tax assets and a portion of the valuation allowance related to its state deferred tax assets.

Based on its evaluation of the positive and negative evidence described above at June 30, 2012, the Company concluded that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and that it was more likely than not that all of the Company's federal deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore, there is no remaining valuation allowance related to the Company's federal deferred tax assets at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had tax benefits for state net operating loss carryforwards of $85.2 million that expire at various times depending on the tax jurisdiction from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2031. The Company had a valuation allowance of $41.9 million related to its state deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012 because the Company concluded it was more likely than not that a portion of its state net operating losses would not be realized due to the more limited carryforward periods that exist in certain states.

The Company continues to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to its tax benefits for state net operating loss carryforwards. At March 31, 2013, after considering the impact of significantly improving profits from operations, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that it would realize more of its state deferred tax assets on net operating losses before they expire than previously anticipated. The Company based this conclusion on additional positive evidence related to the actual pre-tax profits achieved during the six months ended March 31, 2013 and higher levels of forecasted profitability for the remainder of fiscal 2013 and in future years. The Company expects these increased profits to result in a greater realization of its state net operating loss carryforwards before they expire than previously estimated. Accordingly, at March 31, 2013, the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its state deferred tax assets by $18.7 million to a balance of $23.2 million. The Company estimated the remaining amount of the valuation allowance at March 31, 2013 based on an analysis of the amount of its net operating loss carryforwards associated with each state in which it conducts business, as compared to its expected level of taxable income under existing apportionment or recognition rules in each state and the carryforward periods allowed in each state's tax code. Because this reduction of the valuation allowance has been recognized in an interim period, a portion of the valuation allowance to be reversed is allocated to the remaining interim periods. Therefore, the Company expects approximately $4.0 million of the remaining $23.2 million valuation allowance to reverse in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013. Approximately $13.0 million of the Company's valuation allowance is attributable to state net operating loss carryforwards that will expire at the end of fiscal 2013, at which time the related unrealized deferred tax asset and valuation allowances will be written off.

The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could result in changes in the Company's estimates of the valuation of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, and could also have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company's deferred tax assets.

A reduction of $9.9 million in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and $3.1 million of accrued interest is reasonably possible within the current fiscal year, of which $11.0 million would be reflected as an income tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations and $2.0 million would result in an adjustment to deferred income taxes.

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (Act) was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Act is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE I – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the numerators and denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase 5.6 million and 8.7 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 periods, respectively, because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would have been antidilutive. Additionally, the convertible senior notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 2012 periods because their effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE J – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC in September 2012, registering debt and equity securities that it may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

Effective August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock effective through July 31, 2013. All of the $100 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2013, and no common stock has been repurchased subsequent to March 31, 2013.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Board of Directors approved total cash dividends of $0.1875 per common share, which included a cash dividend of $0.0375 per share, which was paid on December 17, 2012 and a cash dividend of $0.15 per share, which was paid on December 21, 2012. The cash dividend of $0.15 per share was in lieu of and accelerated the payment of all quarterly dividends that the Company would have otherwise paid in calendar year 2013. Cash dividends of $0.0375 per share were declared and paid in each quarter of fiscal 2012. In accordance with the indenture governing the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014, when cash dividends are paid in excess of $0.0375 per share in any fiscal quarter, the conversion rate related to these notes increases. As a result of the cash dividend of $0.15 per share which was paid on December 21, 2012, the conversion rate of the 2% convertible senior notes increased from 76.5697 to 77.18004 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes. The new conversion rate is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.96 per share of common stock, compared to the initial conversion price of $13.06 per share. If all of the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014 were converted into the Company's common stock, the Company would issue 38.6 million shares of its common stock as a result of the conversion.

NOTE K – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Options

On March 5, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors approved and granted stock options to executive officers, other officers, employees and non-management directors of the Company. There were approximately 500 recipients of these stock options who may purchase approximately 3.7 million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $23.80 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Unit Agreements

In November 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved and granted awards of 350,000 performance based units (Performance Units) to the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that will vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2015. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company's relative position as compared to its peers at the end of the three-year period in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are based on total shareholder return, return on investment, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense containment and gross profit. The earned awards will have a value equal to the number of earned units multiplied by the closing price of the Company's common stock at the end of the performance period and may be paid in cash, equity or a combination of both. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce the final payout on the Performance Units from the amount earned. The Performance Units have no dividend or voting rights during the performance period. These awards are accounted for as liability awards for which compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in accrued liabilities. The liability for these awards of $2.1 million at March 31, 2013 was based on the Company's performance against the peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the Company's stock price at the end of the period. Compensation expense related to this grant was $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

In January 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved and granted awards of 33,333 Restricted Stock Units to non-management directors which will vest in annual installments over a three-year period ending in January 2016. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock if the vesting conditions are satisfied. The Restricted Stock Units have no dividend or voting rights during the vesting period. The fair value of these awards on the date of grant is $21.49 per unit. Compensation expense related to this grant was $0.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.


NOTE L – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Claims

The Company typically provides its homebuyers with a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems, a two-year limited warranty on major mechanical systems, and a one-year limited warranty on other construction components. The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates, and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built.

Legal Claims and Insurance

The Company is named as a defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. At any point in time, the Company is managing several hundred individual claims related to construction defect matters, personal injury claims, employment matters, land development issues and contract disputes. The Company has established reserves for these contingencies based on the estimated costs of pending claims and the estimated costs of anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes. The estimated liabilities for these contingencies were $519.7 million and $544.9 million at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and are included in homebuilding accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At both March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $15.0 million and $20.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims. As of March 31, 2013, no individual existing claim was material to the Company’s financial statements, and the majority of the Company’s total construction defect reserves consisted of the estimated exposure to future claims on previously closed homes. The Company has closed a significant number of homes during recent years, and as a result the Company may be subject to future construction defect claims on these homes. Although regulations vary from state to state, construction defect issues can generally be reported for up to ten years after the home has closed in many states in which the Company operates. Historical data and trends regarding the frequency of claims incurred and the costs to resolve claims relative to the types of products and markets where the Company operates are used to estimate the construction defect liabilities for both existing and anticipated future claims. These estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Historical trends in construction defect claims have been inconsistent, and the Company believes they may continue to fluctuate over the next several years. Housing market conditions have been volatile across most of the Company's markets over the past ten years, and the Company believes such conditions can affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. The Company closed a significant number of homes during its peak operating years from 2003 to 2007. If the ultimate resolution of construction defect claims resulting from closings in the Company's peak operating years varies from current expectations, it could significantly change the Company's estimates regarding the frequency and timing of claims incurred and the costs to resolve existing and anticipated future claims, which would impact the construction defect reserves in the future. If the frequency of claims incurred or costs of existing and future legal claims significantly exceed the Company's current estimates, they will have a significant negative impact on its future earnings and liquidity.

March 31, 2013


The Company's reserves for legal claims decreased from $544.9 million at September 30, 2012 to $519.7 million at March 31, 2013 primarily due to payments made for legal claims during the period, net of reimbursements received from subcontractors, and a decrease in the estimated cost to resolve future claims. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of closed homes that are subject to possible future construction defect claims. Following is a rollforward of the balance of the reserves for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

The Company estimates and records receivables under applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its losses from its subcontractors and their insurance carriers when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance policies. The Company's receivables related to its estimates of insurance recoveries from estimated losses from pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $195.8 million and $225.0 million at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and are included in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in these receivables corresponds to the decrease in the reserve for legal claims.

The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company's markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves.

Land and Lot Option Purchase Contracts

The Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. At March 31, 2013, the Company had total deposits of $36.4 million, consisting of cash deposits of $32.7 million and promissory notes and surety bonds of $3.7 million, to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion. Within the land and lot option purchase contracts at March 31, 2013, there were a limited number of contracts, representing $21.6 million of remaining purchase price, subject to specific performance clauses which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their obligations. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years.

Other Commitments

At March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $656.6 million and letters of credit of $48.8 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $41.2 million were issued under the Company's revolving credit facility and were cash collateralized to receive better pricing. The remaining $7.6 million of letters of credit were issued under secured letter of credit agreements requiring the Company to deposit cash as collateral with the issuing banks. At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the amount of cash restricted for these purposes totaled $51.2 million and $47.2 million, respectively, and is included in homebuilding restricted cash on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE N – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are used for the Company’s marketable securities, mortgage loans held for sale, debt securities collateralized by residential real estate, IRLCs and other derivative instruments on a recurring basis, and are used for inventories, other mortgage loans and real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The fair value hierarchy and its application to the Company’s assets and liabilities, is as follows:

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s U.S. Treasury securities are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market. The Company’s assets/liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs are as follows:
government agency securities, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit;
mortgage loans held for sale;
best-efforts and mandatory commitments and over-the-counter derivatives such as forward sales of MBS and put options on MBS; and
IRLCs.
Level 3 – Valuation is typically derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability. The Company's debt securities collateralized by residential real estate are measured using Level 3 inputs and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The assets shown below are measured using Level 3 inputs and are typically reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a nonrecurring basis:
inventory held and used;
certain mortgage loans; and
real estate owned.

(a)
In October 2012, the Company purchased $18.6 million of defaulted debt securities which are secured by residential real estate. The Company intends to foreclose on the property or negotiate an agreement to obtain the right to take possession of the residential real estate in order to develop the property and ultimately build and sell homes. These securities, which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, are classified as available for sale and are carried at estimated fair value, which approximates their original transaction price.
(b)
Mortgage loans held for sale are reflected at fair value. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in financial services interest and other income. Mortgage loans held for sale includes $5.7 million of loans originated under the fair value option which the Company has not sold into the secondary market, but plans to sell as market conditions permit. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk; therefore, they were transferred from a Level 2 valuation to a Level 3 valuation during the six months ended March 31, 2013.
(c)
Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value since inception and are reflected in the balance sheet. Changes in these fair values during the periods presented are included in financial services revenues on the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE O – SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

All of the Company's senior and convertible senior notes and the unsecured revolving credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of the Company's homebuilding subsidiaries (collectively, Guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The Company's subsidiaries engaged in the financial services segment and certain other subsidiaries do not guarantee the Company's senior and convertible senior notes and the unsecured revolving credit facility (collectively, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, consolidating condensed financial statements are presented below. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.

The guarantees by a Guarantor Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) the sale or other disposition of its common stock whereby it is no longer a subsidiary of the Company; (2) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (other than to the Company or another Guarantor); (3) its merger or consolidation with an entity other than the Company or another Guarantor; or (4) depending on the provisions of the applicable indenture, either (a) its proper designation as an unrestricted subsidiary, (b) its ceasing to guarantee any of the Company's publicly traded debt securities, or (c) its ceasing to guarantee any of the Company's obligations under the revolving credit facility.
