REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholder of LGI Homes, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LGI Homes, Inc. (the Company) as of July 9, 2013. This balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this balance sheet based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LGI Homes, Inc. at July 9, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Equity Holders of LGI Homes Group (Predecessor)

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of LGI Homes Group (Predecessor) (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related combined statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the four financial statements of: LGI – GTIS Holdings, LLC; LGI – GTIS Holdings II, LLC; LGI – GTIS Holdings, III, LLC; and LGI- GTIS Holdings IV, LLC (collectively GTIS Entities), which entities are limited liability companies in which the Company has equity interests. In the combined financial statements, the Company’s combined investment in the GTIS Entities is stated at $4,446,302 and $2,254,541 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the Company’s equity in the net income of GTIS Entities is stated at $1,526,464, and $714,758 for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the GTIS Entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of LGI Homes Group (Predecessor) at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

Organization and Description of the Business

LGI Homes Group (Predecessor) (the “Companies”) is a group of affiliated entities, under common control, which is engaged in the design and construction of entry-level homes in high growth markets in Texas, Arizona, Florida and Georgia.

A Registration Statement on Form S-1 is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering (the “IPO”). Prior to the consummation of the IPO, LGI Homes, Inc. and the Companies will engage in certain formation and restructuring transactions pursuant to which the Companies will be reorganized under a Delaware corporation named LGI Homes, Inc. See Note 14 for further discussion.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of LGI Homes Group, LLC and LGI Homes Corporate, LLC and their consolidated subsidiaries and controlled variable interest entities, as well as LGI Homes, Ltd., LGI Homes—Sunrise Meadow, Ltd., LGI Homes—Canyon Crossing, Ltd., and LGI Homes—Deer Creek, LLC. Immediate family members, a father and son, individually or jointly own more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of each entity and have historically voted their interests in concert. The immediate family members are referred to hereinafter as the Principals. These entities have been combined for reporting purposes as they are under common management, operate in the same business, and are controlled by the Principals.

The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and all intracompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Companies’ financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes as of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, and revenues and expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting estimates include real estate inventory and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventory and property and equipment, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, receivable from a community development district, and accounting for variable interest entities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity date of less than three months. The Companies’ cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insured limits.

 

F-27


LGI HOMES GROUP (PREDECESSOR)

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Companies’ management monitors the cash balances in their operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Companies have experienced no loss or diminished access to cash in their operating accounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few days from closing.

Real Estate Inventory

Inventory consists of land, land under development, homes in progress, and completed homes. Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes incurred during development and home construction, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges (principally capitalized interest and property taxes) are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method. Costs that are not specifically identifiable to a home are allocated on a pro rata basis by taking costs and dividing by the total number of lots in the community. Management believes the allocation of costs on a pro rata basis approximates the allocation using relative sales value. Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed as cost of sales as homes are sold. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining unsold lots and homes in the community on a pro rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the construction, sale, and delivery of homes. A constructed home is used as the community sales office during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. The Companies estimate the fair value of

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), or in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Capitalized Interest

Interest and other financing costs related to real estate inventory are capitalized as cost of inventory during community development and home construction activities and expensed in cost of sales as homes in the community are sold.

Pre-Acquisition Costs and Deposits

Amounts paid for land options, deposits on land purchase contracts, and other pre-acquisition costs are capitalized and classified as deposits to purchase. Upon execution of the purchase, these deposits are applied to the acquisition price of the land and recorded as a cost component of the land in real estate inventory. To the extent that any deposits are nonrefundable and the associated land acquisition process is terminated or no longer determined probable, the related deposits are charged to general and administrative expense. We review the likelihood of the acquisition of contracted lots in conjunction with our periodic real estate impairment analysis.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and, depending on the nature and purpose of the loan, are capitalized to real estate inventory or amortized to interest expense using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other (income) expense. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the asset life or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of property, equipment and leasehold improvements recorded in the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Investments in Joint Ventures and Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

The Companies function as the managing member of certain joint ventures conducting homebuilding activities. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, we have assessed whether these entities may be VIEs. The Companies have variable interests in certain joint venture arrangements that it manages. These joint ventures have been determined to be VIEs because the members of the joint ventures, as a group, have insufficient equity at risk without further capital contributions. The Companies’ rights as well as the rights held by the other joint venture members have been evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including the extent of substantive participating rights and control of activities that most significantly affect its economic performance. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the ability to determine the budget and scope of land development work, if any; the ability to control financing decisions for the VIE; and the ability to acquire additional land into the VIE. If we are not able to control the significant decisions, we are not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Companies are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the entity is consolidated in the accompanying combined financial statements.

The Companies have investments in four joint ventures where the Companies and the other joint venture members have been deemed to have joint control and the Companies are not the primary beneficiary since all major decisions require both parties’ consent. Accordingly, the Companies’ interests in these joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and our share of the joint ventures’ net earnings is included in income from unconsolidated joint ventures and our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Distributions received are credited against the related investment in the joint venture.

In addition, the Companies have interests in two VIE’s (LGI Homes – Sterling Lakes, LLC and LGI Fund III Holdings, LLC) where it has been determined that the Companies are the primary beneficiary. In addition to the Companies serving as the managing member of these entities, the Principals of the Companies also held the general partner controlling interests in the non-managing members of the VIEs. As a result, the Companies combined with the Principals related party interests have the power to direct all significant activities of the VIEs, and have exposure to the risks and rewards of the VIEs, based on the division of income and loss pursuant to the joint venture agreement and the Companies ownership in the joint ventures. These two VIEs have been consolidated.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the Companies’ investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. No impairment charges have been recorded related to our investments in unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), or the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Insurance Costs and Reserves

The Companies have deductible limits under workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies, and record expense and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. The excess liability limits are $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate annually and apply in excess of automobile liability, employer’s liability

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

under workers compensation, and general liability policies. The Companies generally require subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify the Companies for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is sold. The Companies’ warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built, the geographic areas in which they are built, and potential impacts of the Companies’ continued expansion. The Companies’ warranty reserves include amounts expected to be incurred under the warranty agreement with the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and make adjustments to the balance of the pre-existing reserves, as needed, to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

Home Sales

In accordance with ASC 360 – 20, Real Estate Sales, revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home sale is closed, title and possession are transferred to the buyer, and there is no significant continuing involvement of the Companies with the home. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few days from closing. Home sales are reported net of sales discounts and incentives granted to home buyers, which are primarily seller-paid closing costs.

Cost of Sales

As discussed under Real Estate Inventory, above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs, capitalized interest, and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).

Selling and Commission Costs

Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes sold. Other residual selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and direct mail costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and direct mail costs were $1,076,411 (unaudited) and $811,108 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising and direct mail costs were $1,803,027 and $1,538,293 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Companies consist of limited liability companies and limited partnerships, all of which are treated as partnerships for income tax purposes and federal income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by the Companies are the obligation of the individual members or partners. However, the Companies are subject to certain state taxes and fees, including the

 

F-31

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Texas margin tax, where applicable. There are no significant deferred income taxes related to state income taxes. Management of the Companies has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the combined financial statements, nor have the Companies been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. State income taxes paid were $115,655 (unaudited) and $128,846 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, state income taxes of $163,171 and $130,540 were paid for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our combined financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these instruments. In addition, the majority of our notes payable have a floating interest rate which increases or decreases with market interest rates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value. ASU 2011–04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011–04 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our combined financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Information

The combined financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the combined financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified as amounts were recorded incorrectly. Management does not believe such reclassification adjustments were material to the financial statements. The reclassifications include the reclassification to cost of sales of rebates previously classified as other income of $147,952 and $163,302 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the reclassification of certain indirect costs to cost of sales previously classified as general and administrative expense of $314,671 and $113,549 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and the reclassification of certain intercompany transactions previously classified as other income to effectively eliminate the transactions totalling $197,300 and $165,300 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net impact of these reclassifications was to increase operating income by approximately $345,000 and $329,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.

In connection with the development of a community, LGI Homes – Sunrise Meadow, Ltd. financed the design, construction and initial operations of the municipal utility district subject to the district’s commitment to reimburse eligible costs in connection with a bond offering. The municipal utility district has been authorized to issue bonds pending final approval by the district’s board and $1.25 million of the proceeds have been designated in the draft bond application to reimburse LGI Homes – Sunrise Meadow, Ltd. for costs incurred; management does not believe that the final terms of the bond offering will vary materially from the draft bond application. Land development costs recorded to real estate inventory exclude the costs to be reimbursed. The bond offering is expected to close and the receivable is expected to be collected during 2013.

6. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES, VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The combined financial statements reflect the Companies’ interests in the following four joint ventures (the “Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”) accounted for using the equity method of accounting since the Companies are not deemed to be the primary beneficiaries of these variable interest entities.

The Unconsolidated Joint Ventures are each engaged in homebuilding and land development activities. GTIS Partners, LP and affiliated entities (“GTIS”) are joint venture members in these entities. The Unconsolidated Joint Ventures are discussed collectively in these financial statements due to the similarity of the joint venture agreements and other aspects of the entities. Management of each the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures is vested in members, being the Companies and GTIS. The Companies are considered the managing members of these entities. The managing member has the responsibility and authority to operate the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on a day-to-day basis subject to the operating budget and business plan, which is approved by both members. The Companies use their sales, development and operations teams to support operations and have significant influence even though the respective joint venture members have been deemed to have joint control under ASC 810. All major decisions require both members’ consent. Major decisions include, but are not limited to: the acquisition or disposition of a project; capital contributions; and changes, updates or amendments to the operating budget or business plan. Generally, the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures have not obtained construction financing from outside lenders, but have financed their activities primarily through equity contributions from each of the joint venture members.

Profits are allocated to the members of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures based on the predetermined formulas specified in the joint venture agreements for the allocation of distributable cash. The GTIS member and the Companies are allocated 85% and 15% of the

profits, respectively, (the “Sharing Percentages”) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus, generally, a 15% internal rate of return (“First Tier Return”). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the Companies’ member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Upon liquidation of the Companies’ interests in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, the Companies’ member is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account as provided for in the respective joint venture agreements. Therefore, the Companies’ maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in each VIE is the amount of the Companies’ equity in the joint ventures ($5.3 million and $4.4 million on a combined basis for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively) plus the potential to fund any deficit capital balance upon liquidation; management does not consider it likely that the Companies would have deficit capital balance at liquidation. Performance of the Companies under the joint venture agreements is guaranteed by the Companies, including LGI Homes, Ltd., LGI Homes – Sunrise Meadow, Ltd., LGI Homes – Canyon Crossing, Ltd., and LGI Homes – Deer Creek, LLC, and is secured by a first lien and security interest in the Companies’ interest and the right to receive any distributions from the respective Unconsolidated Joint Venture.

Based on the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures’ cash distributions through December 31, 2012, none of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures had achieved the First-Tier Return. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), three of the four joint ventures have yet to achieve the First-Tier Return; the fourth joint venture was paying a 30% priority allocation to the Companies’ member. There is no certainty that the Companies will receive greater than 15% of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures’ distributions, because the internal rates of return necessary to receive a higher proportion of distributions are calculated over the life of the venture. Accordingly, both the timing and amount of future contributions and distributions will affect the Companies’ share of distributions. Because the Companies required capital contributions are 15% of the total capital contributions to each entity and there can be no assurances that the Companies will receive in excess of 15% of the cash flows distributed by the entities, the Companies record their investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures at 15% of each entity’s capital balance. Any incremental amounts due to the Companies as a result of reaching the higher distribution tiers are recognized when received.

The Companies were required to provide the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures the exclusive right of first refusal to acquire, develop and build any new project considered by the Companies up to and until the GTIS members reached the total invested capital commitment in aggregate for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures or the right expired. The right of first refusal for LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC, LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC and LGI-GTIS Holdings III, LLC expired on March 10, 2010. The capital commitment for LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC was reached prior to December 31, 2012.

Consolidated Joint Ventures

The accompanying Combined Balance Sheets reflect two consolidated joint ventures, engaged in homebuilding and land development activities, which have been determined to be VIEs and the Companies have been deemed to be the primary beneficiary under ASC 810. LGI Homes—Sterling Lakes, LLC was formed in October 2010, and LGI Homes Corporate, LLC was the managing member. LGI Fund III Holdings, LLC was formed March 31, 2013, and LGI Homes Group, LLC is the managing member.

Profits are allocated to the members for the consolidated joint ventures based on the predetermined formulas specified in the joint venture agreements for the allocation of distributable cash. The non-managing members and the Companies are allocated 85% and 15% of the profits, respectively, (the “Sharing Percentages”) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus, generally, a 15% internal rate of return (“First Tier Return”). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the Companies’ member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the venture.

8. NOTES PAYABLE

The Companies’ construction and development activities financed through credit facilities generally provide for secured notes for the construction of individual homes and/or completed lots, with maturities ranging from 9—12 months from the borrowing date. Principal payments on these notes are not due until maturity, and interest is payable monthly.

Effective June 24, 2013, the LGI Homes Group, LLC credit facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. was amended to increase the available credit line to $35.0 million given certain criteria; these criteria were met during July 2013 and the available credit facility was increased to $35.0 million.

During 2013, the LGI Homes Group, LLC and the LGI Homes- Sunrise Meadow, Ltd. credit facilities with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. were amended to establish a borrowing base to determine available loan proceeds. The individual facility’s borrowing base is determined based on the loan value of the pool of collateral in which the lenders have a security interest. Vacant lots and homes generally may remain in the borrowing base for up to one year. As of June 30, 2013, the borrowing base amounts under these agreements totaled $23.5 million (unaudited), of which $1.7 million (unaudited) was available.

As of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012 and 2011, LIBOR was 0.27% (unaudited), 0.31%, and 0.56%, respectively. Based on the terms of the variable rate notes payable, the interest amounts paid during the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were based on the interest rate floor terms.

The Companies’ credit agreements generally require the borrower and guarantor to maintain certain net worth, liquidity and leverage ratios and, in some cases, include cross-default provisions and restrictive covenants related to transfer of control of the borrower. Borrowings under the certain credit facilities are subject to the lender’s final approval of each draw and limitations on the borrowings attributable to certain markets, speculative home building, vacant lots, and acquisition and development funding. The Companies’ current homebuilding operations are primarily funded by borrowings from one primary bank or with equity. The availability of credit to fund ongoing and future operations could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institution fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Companies have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in their credit facilities with the bank.

Participation Obligations

The development and construction financing provided to the Companies by mezzanine lenders have included participation fee provisions based on a percentage of the home sale

prices realized from the funded projects. The participation fees are paid at the time the homes are sold. The participation fees have been recorded to deferred loan costs and are amortized to interest expense, and considered in the Companies determination of capitalized interest discussed further below, over the term of the respective loan.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and 2011, LGI Homes—Sunrise Meadow, Ltd. had a participation fee obligation for the remaining 222 (unaudited), 264 (unaudited), and 326 (unaudited) unsold lots, respectively, of the 974 (unaudited) total community lots. The loan matured during April 2012. The unamortized deferred loan costs relating to this participation fee were $26,521 at December 31, 2011, and were fully amortized during 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, LGI Homes—Deer Creek, LLC had a participation fee obligation for the remaining 39 unsold lots of the 206 total community lots. The loan matured during November 2011.

Capitalized Interest

Interest and related financing costs incurred under the Companies’ debt obligations are capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development. Interest charges and other financing costs related to real estate projects not under development are expensed in the period incurred.

The Companies collect a warranty fee of $250 from the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures upon the closing of the sale of each home.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, the Companies become subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real estate. Management of the Companies believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Companies’ combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Companies have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and joint venture members. In each case, the Companies have performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate the Companies to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, the Companies may have recourse against other previous owners. Management of the Companies is not aware of any environmental claims or occurrences and has recorded no reserves for environmental matters.

Land Deposits

The Companies have land purchase option contracts, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related nonrefundable cash deposits. The following is a summary

The surety bonds are guaranteed by one of the Family Principals. Management of the Companies does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Companies’ combined financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Companies had no letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and December 31, 2012, and $200,000 in letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2011, related to the corporate office lease.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Companies operate one principal homebuilding business which is organized by region. Initial operations were conducted in the Central region (Texas), expanding into the Western region (Arizona) during 2011 and the Eastern region (Georgia and Florida) during 2012. As of June 30, 2013, the Eastern region is in the ramp-up phase and has not had any sales.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Companies have determined that they have two operating segments as of June 30, 2013, the Central region and the Western region. The Central region is the largest region with approximately 80% of total operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and year ended December 31, 2012.

The operating segments qualify for aggregation as one reporting segment. In determining the reportable segment, the Companies concluded that all operating segments have similar economic and other characteristics, including similar home floor plans, average selling prices, gross margin, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, customer type, and underlying demand and supply.

The CODM primarily evaluates performance based on the number of homes sold, gross margin and net income. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 2 and is managed by the Companies’ management team. The Companies have no inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers.

13. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

Unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net income per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, gives effect to the conversion of the Companies’ owners’ equity, as part of the planned reorganization and initial public offering (Notes 1 and 14), into common stock as if the conversion had occurred as of the beginning of the period or upon the date capital was contributed, if later. The number of shares to be converted is based on the initial public offering price of $11 per share. The pro forma net income taxes and pro forma net income reflect federal and state income taxes (assuming a 33% combined effective rate) as if the Companies had been taxed as a corporation in accordance with Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code (as a “C-Corporation”) for the periods presented. There were no potential dilutive shares for the periods presented.

14. FORMATION TRANSACTION AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The Companies will complete certain transactions concurrently with the IPO. The Companies’ owners will contribute their equity interests in the various entities combined in the accompanying financial statements to LGI Homes, Inc. in exchange for common stock of LGI Homes, Inc. LGI Homes, Inc. will account for the formation transaction as an exchange of shares between entities under common control at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. After the formation transaction, the ownership percentage of each LGI Homes, Inc. common stockholder will be equivalent to its ownership percentage in the Companies based on the relative fair values of the respective entities.

Concurrently with the IPO, the Companies will exchange the non-controlling interests in LGI Fund III Holdings, LLC, a consolidated variable interest entity of the Companies for $23.8 million in new shares of common stock of LGI Homes, Inc. As the Companies control LGI Fund III Holdings, LLC before and after the IPO, LGI Homes, Inc. will account for this transaction as an equity transaction.

As a result of the formation transaction, the Companies will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of LGI Homes, Inc. The Companies’ owner’s equity has not been retroactively restated for the proposed reorganization.

Deferred income tax liability and deferred tax expense will be recognized as a result of the reorganization of the Companies from limited liability companies and partnerships to a C corporation structure.

During May 2013, GTIS Partners LP, an affiliated company of the joint venture partners in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (see Note 6), and LGI Homes Group, LLC agreed on the principal terms for the exchange of all of GTIS’s equity interests in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (the GTIS Transaction) for cash and LGI Homes, Inc. common stock to be consummated concurrently with the closing of the IPO. The aggregate consideration for the GTIS Transaction is $41.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $36.9 million and shares of LGI Homes, Inc. common stock valued at $4.5 million at the time of the offering. The agreement expires on February 28, 2014, and may be terminated by seller or buyer by mutual consent of the parties at any time prior to the IPO. As this transaction will result in a change of control for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, the assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value.

The net proceeds from the proposed IPO are planned to be used primarily to fund the cash portion of the GTIS Transaction purchase price and provide funds for working capital and for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of land, development of lots and construction of homes.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 27, 2013, the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. We are not aware of any significant events others than those included herein that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, but prior to the completion of this report that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Organization and Description of Business

LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC (the Company) is a joint venture that was formed on March 4, 2010, between LGI Homes Corporate, LLC (LGI Member) and GTIS LGI I LP (GTIS Member). The Company is engaged in the design and construction of entry level homes in high growth markets in Texas.

A Registration Statement on Form S-1 is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering (the IPO) for LGI Homes, Inc., an affiliate of the LGI Member. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, the GTIS Member interest will be acquired by LGI Homes, Inc. and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGI Homes, Inc. See Note 9 for further discussion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LGI Homes - Chisholm Springs, LLC and LGI Homes - Luckey Ranch, LLC.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, and revenues and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity date of less than three months. The Company’s cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company’s management monitors the cash balances in their operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or diminished access to cash in their operating accounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few days from closing.

Real Estate Inventory

Inventory consists of land and land development, sales office inventory, homes in progress and completed homes. Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes incurred during development and home construction, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges (principally capitalized interest and property taxes) are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method.

Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed as cost of sales as homes are sold. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots and homes in the community on a pro-rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the construction, sale, and delivery of homes. A constructed home is used as the community sales offices during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), or in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other

 

F-56


LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

(income) expense. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of equipment recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Insurance Costs and Reserves

The Company has deductible limits under workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies, and records expenses and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. The excess liability limits are $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate annually and apply in excess of automobile liability, employer’s liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. The Company generally requires subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is sold. 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.

Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

Members’ Equity

The Company is a Delaware limited liability company. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement, the Company shall be dissolved no later than December 31, 2060.

The LGI Member, as the managing member, has the responsibility and authority to operate the Company on a day-to-day basis subject to the operating budget and business plan, which is approved by both members. All major decisions require both members’ consent. Major decisions include, but are not limited to: the acquisition or disposition of a project; capital contributions; and changes, updates or amendments to the operating budget or business plan.

Profits are allocated to the members based on the predetermined formulas specified in the limited liability company agreement for the allocation of distributable cash. The GTIS member and the LGI Member are allocated 85% and 15% of the profits, respectively, (the Sharing

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Percentages) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus a 15% internal rate of return (“First Tier Return”). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the LGI Member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the Company. Upon liquidation of the LGI Member’s interest in the Company, the managing member is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account as provided for in the limited liability company agreement. The performance of the LGI Member and its affiliates under the limited liability company agreement and the Master Service Agreement is guaranteed jointly and severally by LGI Homes Corporate, LLC, LGI Homes, Ltd., LGI Homes —Sunrise Meadow, Ltd., LGI Homes—Canyon Crossing, Ltd., and LGI Homes Deer Creek, LLC, and is secured by a first lien and security interest in the LGI Member’s interest and the right to receive any distributions from the Company.

Based on the Company’s cumulative cash distributions through December 31, 2012, the Company had not achieved the First-Tier Return. During the six month period ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company achieved the First-Tier and Second-Tier Returns and began paying a 30% priority allocation to the LGI Member.

Home Sales

In accordance with ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home is closed, title and possession are transferred to the buyer and there is no significant continuing involvement of the Company. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few days from closing. Home sales are reported net of sales discounts and incentives granted to home buyers which are primarily seller-paid closing costs.

Cost of Sales

As discussed under Real Estate Inventory, above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs, capitalized interest, and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).

Selling and Commission Costs

Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes sold. Other residual selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and direct mail costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and direct mail costs were $122,845 (unaudited) and $238,856 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising and direct mail costs were $374,527 and $649,792 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and federal income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by the Company are

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

the obligation of the individual members. However, the Company is subject to certain state taxes and fees, including the Texas margin tax, where applicable. There are no significant deferred income taxes related to state income taxes. Management of the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements, nor has the Company been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. State income taxes paid were $53,728 (unaudited) and $69,349 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, In addition, state income taxes of $81,775 and $14,322 were paid for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Information

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified as certain amounts were recorded incorrectly. Management does not believe such reclassification adjustments were material to the consolidated financial statements. The reclassifications include, but are not limited to, the reclassification to cost of sales of rebates previously classified as other income and the reclassification of certain indirect costs to cost of sales previously classified as general and administrative. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income.

7. Related -Party Transactions

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s members. We believe transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations. Accounts payable due to related parties represent amounts that are due to LGI Homes Corporate, LLC and its affiliates for payroll, direct costs, management fees and warranty fees that are allocated to the Company.

Management and Warranty Fees

The Company has a Management Service Agreement with LGI Homes Services, LLC (Homes Services). The Company is charged a management fee of approximately 3% of home sale revenue for administration, supervision, marketing and various other services. LGI Homes - Luckey Ranch, LLC is also charged a management fee of approximately 3% of construction costs for the development of land. Management fees expensed under the agreements were $360,759 (unaudited) and $350,460 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management Fees expensed were $771,075 and $712,069 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company provides a Home Builder’s Limited Warranty to the buyer of each home and pays a warranty fee of $250 to an affiliate of the LGI Member upon the closing of the sale of each home. The LGI Member is responsible for warranty service work after community close-out or work performed more than 24 months after a home is sold. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the LGI Member is responsible for the full, timely and proper performance, satisfaction and discharge of any warranty claims asserted against the Company, the GTIS Member or any affiliate thereof. Warranty fees expensed and paid under the Master Services Agreement were $18,750 (unaudited) and $20,000 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Warranty fees expensed and paid under the Management Services Agreement were $43,750 and $41,750 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, the Company becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real estate. Management of the Company believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. Subsequent Event

During May 2013, GTIS Partners LP, an affiliated company of the GTIS Member, and LGI Homes Corporate, LLC, agreed on the principal terms for the exchange of the GTIS member interests in LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC, LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC, LGI-GTIS Holdings III, LLC and LGI-GTIS IV, LLC, (the GTIS Transaction) for cash and LGI Homes, Inc. common stock to be consummated concurrently with the closing of the IPO. The aggregate consideration for the GTIS Transaction is $41.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $36.9 million and shares of LGI Homes, Inc. common stock valued at $4.5 million at the time of the offering. The agreement expires on February 28, 2014, and may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties at any time prior to the IPO.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 27, 2013, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. We are not aware of any significant events others than those included herein that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, but prior to the completion of this report that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimated made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Organization and Description of Business

LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC (the Company) is a joint venture that was formed on November 16, 2010, between LGI Homes Corporate, LLC (LGI Member) and GTAM Mallard LLC (GTIS Member). LGI Homes Corporate, LLC transferred their equity interests to LGI Homes Group, LLC during March 2011. The Company is engaged in the design and construction of entry level homes in high growth markets in Texas.

A Registration Statement on Form S-1 is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering (the IPO) for LGI Homes, Inc., an affiliate of the LGI Member. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, which is expected to be completed in 2013, the GTIS Member interest will be acquired by LGI Homes, Inc. and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGI Homes, Inc. See Note 8 for further discussion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LGI Homes—Mallard Crossing, LLC and LGI Homes—West Meadows, LLC.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, and revenues and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity date of less than three months. The Company’s cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company’s management monitors the cash balances in their operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or diminished access to cash in their operating accounts.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few days from closing.

Real Estate Inventory

Inventory consists of land and land development, sales office inventory, homes in progress, and completed homes. Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including property taxes incurred during development and home construction, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges (principally property taxes) are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method.

Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed as cost of sales as homes are sold. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots and homes in the community on a pro-rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the construction, sale, and delivery of homes. A constructed home is used as the community sales offices during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), or in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other (income) expense. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of equipment recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Insurance Costs and Reserves

The Company has deductible limits under workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies, and records expenses and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. The excess liability limits are $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate annually and apply in excess of automobile liability, employer’s liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. The Company generally requires subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is sold. 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.

Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

Members’ Equity

The Company is a Delaware limited liability company. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement, the Company shall be dissolved no later than December 31, 2060.

The LGI Member, as the managing member, has the responsibility and authority to operate the Company on a day-to-day basis subject to the operating budget and business plan, which is approved by both members. All major decisions require both members’ consent. Major

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

decisions include, but are not limited to: the acquisition or disposition of a project; capital contributions; and changes, updates or amendments to the operating budget or business plan.

Profits are allocated to the members based on the predetermined formulas specified in the limited liability company agreement for the allocation of distributable cash. The GTIS member and the LGI Member are allocated 85% and 15% of the profits, respectively, (the Sharing Percentages) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus a 15% internal rate of return (First Tier Return). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the LGI Member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the Company. Upon liquidation of the LGI Member’s interest in the Company, the managing member is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account as provided for in the limited liability company agreement. The performance of the LGI Member and its affiliates under the limited liability company agreement and the Master Service Agreement is guaranteed jointly and severally by LGI Homes Corporate, LLC, LGI Homes, Ltd., LGI Homes—Sunrise Meadow, Ltd., LGI Homes—Canyon Crossing, Ltd., and LGI Homes Deer Creek, LLC, and is secured by a first lien and security interest in the LGI Member’s interest and the right to receive any distributions from the Company.

As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company’s cumulative cash distributions had not achieved the First-Tier Return.

Home Sales

In accordance with ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home is closed, title and possession are transferred to the buyer and there is no significant continuing involvement of the Company. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few days from closing. Home sales are reported net of sales discounts and incentives granted to home buyers which are primarily seller-paid financing or closing costs.

Cost of Sales

As discussed under Real Estate Inventory, above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).

Selling and Commission Costs

Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes sold. Other residual selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and direct mail costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and direct mail costs were $202,719 (unaudited) and $285,715 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising and direct mail costs were $500,060 and $463,021 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and federal income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by the Company are the obligation of the individual members. However, the Company is subject to certain state taxes and fees, including the Texas margin tax, where applicable. There are no significant deferred income taxes related to state income taxes. Management of the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements, nor has the Company been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. State income taxes paid were $53,556 (unaudited) and $28,450 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, state income taxes of $28,755 and $0 were paid for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 was

 

F-74

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Information

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified as certain amounts were recorded incorrectly. Management does not believe such reclassification adjustments were material to the consolidated financial statements. The reclassifications include, but are not limited to, the reclassification to cost of sales of rebates previously classified as other income and the reclassification of certain indirect costs to cost of sales previously classified as general and administrative. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income.

3. Real Estate Inventory

The Company purchases land and develops residential subdivisions including roads, water and sewer systems. These costs are included in inventory and expensed as cost of sales on a per lot basis as homes are sold.

Real estate inventory consists of the following:

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits are received upon signing a purchase contact and are typically $500. Deposits are typically refundable if the customer is unable to obtain financing. Forfeited buyer deposits related to home sales are recognized in other income (expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which it is determined that the buyer will not complete the purchase of the property and the deposit is nonrefundable to the buyer.

6. Related-Party Transactions

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s members. We believe transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations. Accounts payable due to related parties represent amounts that are due to LGI Homes Group, LLC and its affiliates for payroll, direct costs, management fees and warranty fees that are allocated to the Company.

Management and Warranty Fees

The Company has a Management Service Agreement with LGI Homes Services, LLC (Homes Services). The Company is charged a management fee of approximately 3% of home sale revenue for administration, supervision, marketing, and various other services. Management fees expensed under the agreements were $288,823 (unaudited) and $266,865 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management fees expensed were $679,266 and $322,569 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company provides a Home Builder’s Limited Warranty to the buyer of each home and pays a warranty fee of $250 to an affiliate of the LGI Member upon the closing of the sale of each home. The LGI Member is responsible for all warranty service work performed after a home is sold; accordingly, no warranty reserve is maintained by the Company. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the LGI Member is responsible for the full, timely and proper performance, satisfaction and discharge of any warranty claims asserted against the Company, the GTIS Member or any affiliate thereof. Warranty fees expensed under the Management Services Agreement were $17,250 (unaudited) and $17,000 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Warranty fees expensed were $43,000 and $21,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, the Company becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real estate. Management of the Company believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Commitments

The Company has land purchase option contracts for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited. The Company had no land purchase option contracts at June 30, 2013 (unaudited). The following is a summary of our land purchase commitments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

     December 31,  
     2012      2011

8. Subsequent Event

During May 2013, GTIS Partners LP, an affiliated company of the GTIS Member, and LGI Homes Group, LLC, agreed on the principal terms for the exchange of the GTIS member interests in LGI-GTIS Holdings, LLC, LGI-GTIS Holdings II, LLC, LGI-GTIS Holdings III, LLC and LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC, (the GTIS Transaction) for cash and LGI Homes, Inc. common stock to be consummated concurrently with the closing of the IPO. The aggregate consideration for the GTIS Transaction is $41.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $36.9 million and shares of LGI Homes, Inc. common stock valued at $4.5 million at the time of the offering. The agreement expires on February 28, 2014, and may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties at any time prior to the IPO.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 27, 2013, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. We are not aware of any significant events others than those included herein that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, but prior to the completion of this report that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

LGI-GTIS Holdings III, LLC and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LGI-GTIS Holdings Ill, LLC and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from March 2, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LGI-GTIS Holdings Ill, LLC and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from March 2, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS III, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Organization and Description of Business

LGI-GTIS Holdings III, LLC (the Company) is a joint venture that was formed on March 2, 2011 between LGI Homes Group, LLC (LGI Member) and GTIS LGI LP (GTIS Member). The Company is engaged in the design and construction of entry level homes in high growth markets in Texas. The Company was considered a development stage entity as of December 31, 2011. A development stage entity is one in which principal operations have not commenced or produced significant revenue.

A Registration Statement on Form S-1 is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering (the “IPO”) for LGI Homes, Inc., an affiliate of the LGI Member. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, which is expected to be completed in 2013, the GTIS Member interest will be acquired by LGI Homes, Inc. and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGI Homes, Inc. See Note 8 for further discussion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LGI Homes–Oak Hollow, LLC and LGI Homes–Sonterra, LLC.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, and revenues and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), the year ended December 31, 2012, and the period March 2, 2011 (date of inception) through December 31, 2011. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity date of less than three months. The Company’s cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company’s management monitors the cash balances in their operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or diminished access to cash in their operating accounts.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS III, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few days from closing.

Real Estate Inventory

Inventory consists of land and land development, sales office inventory, homes in progress and completed homes. Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including property taxes incurred during development and home construction, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges (principally property taxes) are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method.

Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed as cost of sales as homes are sold. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots and homes in the community on a pro-rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the construction, sale, and delivery of homes. A constructed home is used as the community sales offices during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012 and 2011, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), the year ended December 31, 2012, or the period March 2, 2011 (date of inception) through December 31, 2011.

LGI-GTIS HOLDINGS III, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other (income) expense. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of equipment recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited), the year ended December 31, 2012, and the period March 2, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011.

Insurance Costs and Reserves

The Company has deductible limits under workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies, and records expenses and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. The excess liability limits are $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate annually and apply in excess of automobile liability, employer’s liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. The Company generally requires subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is sold. 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.

Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

Members’ Equity

The Company is a Delaware limited liability company. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement, the Company shall be dissolved no later than December 31, 2060.

The LGI Member, as the managing member, has the responsibility and authority to operate the Company on a day-to-day basis subject to the operating budget and business plan, which is approved by both members. All major decisions require both members’ consent. Major

decisions include, but are not limited to: the acquisition or disposition of a project; capital contributions; and changes, updates or amendments to the operating budget or business plan.

Profits are allocated to the members based on the predetermined formulas specified in the limited liability company agreement for the allocation of distributable cash. The GTIS member and the LGI Member are allocated 85% and 15% of the profits, respectively, (the Sharing Percentages) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus a 15% internal rate of return (First Tier Return). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the LGI Member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the Company. Upon liquidation of the LGI Member’s interest in the Company, the managing member is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account as provided for in the limited liability company agreement. The performance of the LGI Member and its affiliates under the limited liability company agreement and the Master Service Agreement is jointly and severally guaranteed by LGI Homes Group, LLC, LGI Homes, Ltd., LGI Homes–Sunrise Meadow, Ltd., LGI Homes–Canyon Crossing, Ltd. and LGI Homes Deer Creek, LLC, and is secured by a first lien and security interest in the LGI Member’s interest and the right to receive any distributions from the Company.

As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company’s cumulative cash distributions had not achieved the First-Tier Return.

Home Sales

In accordance with ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home is closed, title and possession are transferred to the buyer and there is no significant continuing involvement of the Company. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few days from closing. Home sales are reported net of sales discounts and incentives granted to home buyers which are primarily seller-paid closing costs.

Cost of Sales

As discussed under Real Estate Inventory, above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs, and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).

Selling and Commission Costs

Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes sold. Other residual selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and direct mail costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and direct mail costs were $240,857 (unaudited) and $311,785 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising and direct mail costs were $591,255 and $11,218 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and federal income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by the Company are the obligation of the individual members. However, the Company is subject to certain state taxes and fees, including the Texas margin tax, where applicable. There are no significant deferred income taxes related to state income taxes. Management of the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements, nor has the Company been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. There were no state income taxes paid for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and the period March 2, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Information

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified as certain amounts were recorded incorrectly. Management does not believe such reclassification adjustments were material to the consolidated financial statements. The reclassifications include, but are not limited to, the reclassification to cost of sales of rebates previously classified as other income and the reclassification of certain indirect costs to cost of sales previously classified as general and administrative. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income.

3. Real Estate Inventory

The Company purchases land and develops residential subdivisions including roads, water and sewer systems. These costs are included in inventory and expensed as cost of sales on a per lot basis as homes are sold.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits are received upon signing a purchase contact and are typically $500. Deposits are typically refundable if the customer is unable to obtain financing. Forfeited buyer deposits related to home sales are recognized in other income (expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which it is determined that the buyer will not complete the purchase of the property and the deposit is nonrefundable to the buyer.

6. Related-Party Transactions

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s members. We believe transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations. Accounts payable due to related parties represent amounts that are due to LGI Homes Group, LLC and its affiliates for payroll, direct costs, management fees and warranty fees that are allocated to the Company.

Management and Warranty Fees

The Company has a Management Service Agreement with LGI Homes Services, LLC (Homes Services). The Company is charged a management fee of approximately 3% of home sale revenue for administration, supervision, marketing, and various other services. Management fees expensed under the agreements were $270,720 (unaudited) and $275,478 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management Fees expensed were $730,107 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period March 2, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, respectively.

The Company provides a Home Builder’s Limited Warranty to the buyer of each home and pays a warranty fee of $250 to an affiliate of the LGI Member upon the closing of the sale of each home. The LGI Member is responsible for all warranty service work performed after a home is sold; accordingly, no warranty reserve is maintained by the Company. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the LGI Member is responsible for the full, timely and proper performance, satisfaction and discharge of any warranty claims asserted against the Company, the GTIS Member or any affiliate thereof. Warranty fees expensed under the Management Services Agreement were $15,500 (unaudited) and $17,500 (unaudited) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Warranty fees expensed were $44,750 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the period March 2, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, the Company becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real estate. Management of the Company believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Commitments

The Company has land purchase option contracts for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited. The following is a summary of our land purchase commitments:

 

     June 30,

8. Subsequent Event

The aggregate consideration for the GTIS Transaction is $41.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $36.9 million and shares of LGI Homes, Inc. common stock valued at $4.5 million at the time of the offering. The agreement expires on February 28, 2014, and may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties at any time prior to the IPO.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 27, 2013, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. We are not aware of any significant events others than those included herein that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, but prior to the completion of this report that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the period from October 31, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from October 31, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012

1. Business

Organization and Description of Business

LGI-GTIS Holdings IV, LLC (the Company) is a joint venture that was formed on October 31, 2012 between LGI Homes Group, LLC (LGI Member) and GTIS US Residential Strategies Fund, LP and LGI IV Blocker, LLC (collectively, the GTIS Member). The Company is engaged in the design and construction of entry-level homes in high growth markets in Texas, Arizona and Florida. The Company was considered a development stage entity as of December 31, 2012. A development stage entity is one in which principal operations have not commenced or produced significant revenue.

A Registration Statement on Form S-1 is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering (the IPO) for LGI Homes, Inc., an affiliate of the LGI member. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, which is expected to be completed in 2013, the GTIS Member interest will be acquired by LGI Homes, Inc. and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGI Homes, Inc. See Note 8 for further discussion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LGI Homes — Blue Hills, LLC, LGI Homes — Krenson Woods, LLC, LGI Homes — Northpointe, LLC, LGI Homes — Oak Hollow Phase 6, LLC, LGI Homes — Saltgrass Crossing, LLC and LGI Homes — Luckey Ranch Partners, LLC.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012, and revenues and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and the period October 31, 2012 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity date of less than three months. The Company’s cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company’s management monitors the cash balances in their operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be negatively

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or diminished access to cash in their operating accounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few days from closing.

Real Estate Inventory

Inventory consists of land and land development, sales office inventory, homes in progress and completed homes. Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including property taxes incurred during development and home construction, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges (principally property taxes) are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method.

Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed as cost of sales as homes are sold. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the unsold homes in the community on a pro-rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the construction, sale, and delivery of homes. A constructed home is used as the community sales offices during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), and December 31, 2012, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) or in the period October 31, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other (income) expense. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of equipment recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and the period October 31, 2012 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012.

Insurance Costs and Reserves

The Company has deductible limits under workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies, and records expenses and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. The excess liability limits are $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate annually and apply in excess of automobile liability, employer’s liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. The Company generally requires subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is sold. 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.

Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

Members’ Equity

The Company is a Delaware limited liability company. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement, the Company shall be dissolved no later than December 31, 2062.

The LGI Member, as the managing member, has the responsibility and authority to operate the Company on a day-to-day basis subject to the operating budget and business plan, which is approved by both members. All major decisions require both members’ consent. Major

decisions include, but are not limited to: the acquisition or disposition of a project; capital contributions; and changes, updates or amendments to the operating budget or business plan.

Profits are allocated to the members based on the predetermined formulas specified in the limited liability company agreement for the allocation of distributable cash. The GTIS member and the LGI Member are allocated 85% and 15% of the profits, respectively, (the Sharing Percentages) until such time as the members receive cash distributions equal to their initial capital investment plus a 15% internal rate of return (First Tier Return). Subsequent allocations of distributable cash and profits include a priority allocation of approximately 20% to 40% to the LGI Member, depending on the amount of cash distributions achieved over the life of the Company. Upon liquidation of the LGI Member’s interest in the Company, the managing member is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account as provided for in the limited liability company agreement. The performance of the LGI Member and its affiliates under the limited liability company agreement and the Master Service Agreement is guaranteed individually and collectively, and on a joint and several basis, by LGI Homes, Ltd. and LGI Homes Group, LLC, and its subsidiaries: LGI Homes—Chateau Woods, LLC, LGI Homes—Texas, LLC, LGI Homes—FW, LLC, LGI Homes — Presidential Glen, LLC, LGI Homes—Quail Run, LLC, LGI Homes—Woodland Creek, LLC, LGI Homes—Lakes of Magnolia, LLC, LGI Homes—Decker Oaks, LLC, LGI Homes—Stewarts Forest, LLC, LGI Homes—Florida, LLC, LGI Homes—AZ Sales, LLC, LGI Homes—AZ Construction, LLC, LGI Homes—Glennwilde, LLC, and LGI Homes—San Tan Heights.

As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company’s cumulative cash distributions had not achieved the First-Tier Return.

Home Sales

In accordance with ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home is closed, title and possession are transferred to the buyer and there is no significant continuing involvement of the Company. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few days from closing. Home sales are reported net of sales discounts and incentives granted to home buyers which are primarily seller-paid closing costs.

Cost of Sales

As discussed under Real Estate Inventory, above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs, and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).

Selling and Commission Costs

Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes sold. Other residual selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and direct mail costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and direct mail costs were $358,436 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $11,926 for the period October 31, 2012 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and federal income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by the Company are the obligation of the individual members. However, the Company is subject to certain state taxes and fees, including the Texas margin tax, where applicable. There are no significant deferred income taxes related to state income taxes. Management of the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements, nor has the Company been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. There were no state income taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (unaudited), or for the period October 31, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Information

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified as certain amounts were recorded incorrectly. Management does not believe such reclassification adjustments were material to the consolidated financial statements. The reclassifications include, but are not limited to, the reclassification to cost of sales of rebates previously classified as other income and the reclassification of certain indirect costs to cost of sales previously classified as general and administrative. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income.

6. Related-Party Transactions

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s members. We believe transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations. Accounts payable due to related parties represent amounts that are due to LGI Homes Group, LLC and its affiliates for payroll, direct costs, management fees and warranty fees that are allocated to the Company.

Management and Warranty Fees

The Company provides a Home Builder’s Limited Warranty to the buyer of each home and pays a warranty fee of $250 to an affiliate of the LGI Member upon the closing of the sale of each home. The LGI Member is responsible for all warranty service work performed after a home is sold; accordingly, no warranty reserve is maintained by the Company. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the LGI Member is responsible for the full, timely and proper performance, satisfaction and discharge of any warranty claims asserted against the Company, the GTIS Member or any affiliate thereof. Warranty fees expensed under the Management Services Agreement were $15,250 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and $0 for the period October 31, 2012 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, the Company becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real estate.

In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Land Deposits

The Company has land purchase option contracts for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited. The following is a summary of our land purchase commitments:
