NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and information included in oral statements or other written statements by the Company are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “hopes”, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries; financial resources and condition; changes in revenues; changes in profitability; changes in margins; changes in accounting treatment; cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; interest expense; inventory write-downs; unrecognized tax benefits; anticipated tax refunds; sales paces and prices; effects of home buyer cancellations; growth and expansion; community count; joint ventures in which we are involved; the ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the ability to gain approvals and open new communities; the ability to sell homes and properties; the ability to deliver homes from backlog; the ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; and legal proceedings and claims. Forward-looking statements are based upon expectations and projections about future events and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties about, among other things, the Company, economic and market factors and the homebuilding industry.

Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include, but are not limited to: our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of the residential homebuilding business of Polygon Northwest Homes; our ability to integrate successfully the Polygon Northwest Homes operations with our existing operations; any adverse effect on our business operations, or those of Polygon Northwest Homes, following consummation of the acquisition; worsening in general economic conditions either nationally or in regions in which we operate; worsening in markets for residential housing; decline in real estate values resulting in further impairment of our real estate assets; volatility in the banking industry and credit markets; terrorism or other hostilities involving the United States; whether an ownership change occurred that could, under certain circumstances, have resulted in the limitation of our ability to offset prior years’ taxable income with net operating losses; changes in mortgage and other interest rates; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards and the availability of mortgage financing; changes in generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations of those principles; changes in prices of homebuilding materials; the availability of labor and homebuilding materials; adverse weather conditions; competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; cancellations and our ability to realize our backlog; the occurrence of events such as landslides, soil subsidence and earthquakes that are uninsurable, not economically insurable or not subject to effective indemnification agreements; changes in governmental laws and regulations; inability to comply with financial and other covenants under our debt instruments; whether we are able to refinance the outstanding balances of our debt obligations at their maturity; anticipated tax refunds; limitations on our ability to utilize our tax attributes; limitations on our ability to reverse any remaining portion of our valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects; the impact of construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims, including the adequacy of self-insurance accruals, and the applicability and sufficiency of our insurance coverage; and the availability and cost of land for future development. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as well as those factors or conditions described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our past performance or past or present economic conditions in our housing markets are not indicative of future performance or conditions. Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to projections over time unless required by federal securities laws.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Operations

William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado (under the Village Homes brand).

Initial Public Offering

On May 21, 2013, Parent completed its initial public offering of 10,005,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which consisted of 7,177,500 shares sold by Parent and 2,827,500 shares sold by the selling stockholder. The 10,005,000 shares in the offering were sold at a price to the public of $25.00 per share. Parent raised total net proceeds for the Company of approximately $163.7 million in the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder.

Parent's authorized capital stock consists of 190,000,000 shares, 150,000,000 of which are designated as Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, 30,000,000 of which are designated as Class B Common Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 of which are designated as preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and revenues and expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, sales and profit recognition, accounting for variable interest entities, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report.

Real Estate Inventories

Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred.

A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves approximately one to one and one quarter percent of the sales price of its homes against the possibility of future charges relating to its one-year limited warranty and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded

warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, are as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30, 2014			Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	14,935		$	14,317
Warranty provision during period	3,333			1,732
Warranty payments during period	(3,449		)	(2,569		)
Warranty charges related to pre-existing warranties during period	360			226
Warranty charges related to construction services projects	652			144
Warranty liability, end of period	$	15,831		$	13,850

Interest incurred under the Company’s debt obligations, as more fully discussed in Note 5, is capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development. Any additional interest charges related to real estate projects not under development are expensed in the period incurred. Interest activity for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2014		Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		Six Months Ended June 30, 2014		Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Interest incurred	$	11,919	$	7,849	$	21,314	$	15,000
Less: Interest capitalized	11,919		6,582		21,314		12,449
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized	$	—	$	1,267	$	—	$	2,551
Cash paid for interest	$	19,051	$	14,350	$	19,671	$	14,350

Construction Services

The Company accounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under ASC 605, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract.

The Company entered into construction management agreements to build, sell and market homes in certain communities. For such services, the Company will receive fees (generally 3 to 5 percent of the sales price, as defined) and may, under certain circumstances, receive additional compensation if certain financial thresholds are achieved.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These financial instruments include letters of credit and obligations in connection with assessment district bonds. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 11.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances between accounts based on operational needs; 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 lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits made by the Company to a bank account as collateral for the use of letters of credit to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain other contractual arrangements in the normal course of business.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and are primarily amortized to interest incurred using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Goodwill

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have five reporting segments, as discussed in Note 3, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Intangible Assets

Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"). Such assets were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close.

Income (loss) per common share

The Company computes income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income (loss) per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income (loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders.

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income (loss) per common share, basic income (loss) per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.

Note 2—Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company formed one joint venture for the purpose of land development and homebuilding activities which we have determined to be a VIE. The Company, as the managing member, has the power to direct the activities of the VIE since it manages the daily operations and has exposure to the risks and rewards of the VIE, which is based on the division of income and loss per the joint venture agreement. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, and the VIE was consolidated as of June 30, 2014. The Company is also party to an additional three joint ventures that were formed in prior periods, for which the Company has also determined that it is the primary beneficiary, and thus has also included them in its consolidated results as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $73.5 million, of which $6.7 million was cash and $63.7 million was real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $35.5 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

As of December 31, 2013, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $66.4 million, of which $4.7 million was cash and $56.8 million was real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $27.1 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Note 3—Segment Information

The Company operates one principal homebuilding business. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that each of its operating divisions is an operating segment.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer have been identified as the chief operating decision makers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.

The Company’s homebuilding operations design, construct and sell a wide range of homes designed to meet the specific needs in each of its markets. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined by ASC 280, the Company’s homebuilding operating segments have been grouped into five reportable segments: Southern California, consisting of an operating division with operations in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties; Northern California, consisting of an operating division with operations in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and Santa Clara counties; Arizona, consisting of operations in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area; Nevada, consisting of operations in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area; and Colorado, consisting of operations in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, Fort Collins, and Granby, Colorado markets.

Senior Notes

5 3/4% Senior Notes Due 2019

On March 31, 2014, William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“California Lyon”) completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "5.75% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The 5.75% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount.

As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding amount of the notes was $150 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, and mature on April 15, 2019. The 5.75% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 5.75% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020, as described below. The 5.75% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.75% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

On or after April 15, 2016, California Lyon may redeem all or a portion of the 5.75% Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the period beginning on each of the dates indicated below:



Year	Percentage
April 15, 2016	104.313	%
October 15, 2016	102.875	%
April 15, 2017	101.438	%
April 15, 2018 and thereafter	100.000	%

Prior to April 15, 2016, the 5.75% notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date.

In addition, any time prior to April 15, 2016, California Lyon may, at its option on one or more occasions, redeem the 5.75% Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.75% Notes issued

prior to such date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.75%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings by Parent.

The indenture governing the 5.75% Notes contains covenants that limit the ability of Parent, California Lyon, and their restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee certain additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends, distributions, or repurchase equity or make payments in respect of subordinated indebtedness; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) incur liens; (vi) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or transfer assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as described in the Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2014.

8 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2020

On November 8, 2012, California Lyon completed its offering of 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2020, (the "initial 8.5% notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $325 million. The initial 8.5% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount.

On October 24, 2013, California Lyon completed the sale of an additional $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “additional 8.5 % Notes”, and together with the initial 8.5% notes, the "8.5% Notes" ) at an issue price of 106.5% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from and including May 15, 2013, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $104.6 million.

As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the 8.5% Notes was $431 million. The 8.5% Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, and mature on November 15, 2020. The 8.5% Notes are are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and by certain of its existing and future subsidiaries. The 8.5% Notes are California Lyon's and the guarantors' senior unsecured obligations. The 8.5% Notes and the guarantees rank senior to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt, and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon's and the guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior debt, including the 5.75% Notes. The 8.5% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to any of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt.

The indenture governing the 8.5% Notes contains covenants that limit the ability of Parent, California Lyon and their restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee certain additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) incur liens; (vi) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or transfer assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as described in the Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2014.

Notes Payable

Revolving Lines of Credit

On August 7, 2013, California Lyon and Parent entered into a credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $100 million (the “Revolver”). The Revolver will mature on August 5, 2016, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Revolver. The Revolver contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount can be increased to up to $125 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50 million for letters of credit. The Revolver contains various covenants, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, liquidity and interest coverage, as well as a limitation on investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The total amount available under the Revolver is subject to a borrowing base calculation.

The Revolver contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitment and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings and require cash collateralization of letters of credit, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitment and require that California Lyon repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and cash collateralize letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Facility currently accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%.

Borrowings under the Revolver, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by Parent and certain of Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2014, the Revolver was undrawn, the Company had issued a letter of credit for $4.0 million, reducing the amount available under the Revolver. On July 3, 2014, the Revolver was amended in conjunction with a transaction occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date (see Note 12 - Subsequent Events for further information regarding this transaction). The amendment increased the maximum leverage ratio from 60% to 75% for one year following such transaction. The amendment also established a minimum borrowing base availability of $50.0 million.

Note 6—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), the Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate:


•	Notes Payable—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value of the notes payable because market rates are unchanged and/or the outstanding balance at quarter end is expected to be repaid within one year.


•	5³/₄% Senior Notes due April 15, 2019 —The 5³/4% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.


•	8¹/2% Senior Notes due November 15, 2020 —The 8¹/2% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

The following table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable, which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments. The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):



	Successor
	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	35,906	$	35,906	$	38,060	$	38,060
5 ³/_4% Senior Notes due 2019	$	150,000	$	153,750	$	—	$	—
8¹/2% Senior Notes due 2020	$	430,732	$	475,490	$	431,295	$	466,877

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and 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. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of its Notes Payable, and Level 2 to measure the fair value of its 5 ³/₄% Notes and 8¹ /2 % Notes. The ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level 1—quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;


•	Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and


•	Level 3—valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements:



	Notes
	Payable
	(in thousands)
Fair value at December 31, 2013	$	38,060
Repayments of principal (1)	(38,720		)
Borrowings of principal (2)	36,566

Fair value at June 30, 2014	$	35,906


(1)	Represents the actual amount of principal repaid


(2)	Represents the actual amount of principal borrowed

Note 7—Related Party Transactions

On September 3, 2009, Presley CMR, Inc., a California corporation (“Presley CMR”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of California Lyon, entered into an Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an affiliate of General William Lyon to sell an aircraft (the “Aircraft”). The PSA provided for an aggregate purchase price for the Aircraft of $8.3 million, (which value was the appraised fair market value of the Aircraft), which consisted of: (i) cash in the amount of $2.1 million to be paid at closing and (ii) a promissory note from the affiliate in the amount of $6.2 million. The note is secured by the Aircraft. As part of the Company’s fresh start accounting, the note was adjusted to its fair value of $5.2 million. The discount on the fresh start adjustment is amortized over the remaining life of the note. The note requires semiannual interest payments to California Lyon of approximately $0.1 million. The note is due in September 2016.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred charges of $0.2 million related to rent on its corporate office, from a trust of which William H. Lyon is the sole beneficiary. The lease expired in March 2013 and the Company relocated its corporate office upon expiration of the lease. The Company has entered into a lease for the new location with an unrelated third party.

Note 8—Income Taxes

Since inception, the Company has operated solely within the United States.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 29.6% and 29.2% , and 0.1% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The significant drivers of the effective tax rate are allocation of income to noncontrolling interests, related party loss recapture, domestic production activities deduction, and release of valuation allowance.

Management assesses its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company's assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carry back years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At June 30, 2014 the Company’s valuation allowance was $3.2 million due to projected excess realized built-in-losses and state net operating losses which may expire unused. In the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a $95.6 million income tax benefit that resulted from the reversal of all but $4.0 million of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had no remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and $80.6 million remaining state net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2014. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had unused federal and state built-in losses of $69.5 million and $37.0 million, respectively. The 5 year testing period for built-in losses expires in 2017 and the unused built-in loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2033. The Company had AMT credit carryovers of $1.4 million at June 30, 2014, which have an indefinite life.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) which is now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criterion for the

financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ended 2010 through 2013 and forward. The Company is subject to various state income tax examinations for calendar tax years ended 2009 through 2013 and forward. The Company does not have any tax examinations currently in progress.

Note 9—Income Per Common Share

Basic and diluted income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were calculated as follows (in thousands, except number of shares and per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2014		Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		Six Months Ended June 30, 2014		Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Dilutive income per common share	$	0.38	$	0.29	$	0.64	$	0.17

Note 10—Stock Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at the fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards with performance based conditions is recognized over the vesting period once achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 925 and 48,562 shares of restricted stock, respectively, and zero and 287,739 shares of performance based restricted stock.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

With respect to all but one of the performance based restricted stock awards granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the actual number of such shares of restricted stock that will be earned (the “Earned Shares”) is subject to the Company’s achievement of a pre-established performance target as of the end of the 2014 fiscal year. The remaining grant does not contain a pre-established performance target, but the Earned Shares for such award will be determined by the exercise of the discretion of the Compensation Committee of Parent’s Board of Directors following the end of the 2014 fiscal year. For each of the aforementioned awards, one-third of the Earned Shares will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. Based on the assessment as of June 30, 2014, management determined that the currently available data was not sufficient to support the performance targets are probable of being achieved, and as such no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards to date.

Additional Restricted Stock Awards

With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain other employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, representing 925 and 26,134 shares of restricted stock, respectively, 50% of the shares of restricted stock underlying such awards will vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.

Stock based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.9 million and $1.9 million, and $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities include the 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 condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal business activities. We believe that the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of June 30, 2014, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual had been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our office facilities. Rent expense under cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases totaled $0.7 million and $1.4 million, and $0.4 million and $0.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. The table below shows the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases at June 30, 2014 (in thousands).

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in deposits as collateral for outstanding surety bonds to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. The standby letters of credit were secured by cash as reflected as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company also had outstanding performance and surety bonds of $91.5 million at June 30, 2014, related principally to its obligations for site improvements at various projects. The Company does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $130.4 million of project commitments relating to the construction of projects.

See Note 5 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements.

In addition to the land bank agreement discussed below, the Company has entered into various purchase option agreements with third parties to acquire land. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made non-refundable deposits of $41.0 million. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the land, but would forfeit remaining deposits if the land were not purchased. The total remaining purchase price under the option agreements is $317.7 million as of June 30, 2014.

Land Banking Arrangements

The Company enters into purchase agreements with various land sellers. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers the Company’s right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by

third parties (“land banking arrangements”). These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings.

The Company participated in one land banking arrangement, which was not a VIE in accordance with ASC 810, but which is consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). The remaining lots under the above land banking agreement were purchased by the Company during April 2014. No further obligations remain under the agreement. Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company has determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking arrangement. The Company has recorded the remaining purchase price of the land of $13.0 million, as of December 31, 2013, which is included in real estate inventories not owned and liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and represented the remaining net cash to be paid on the remaining land takedowns.

Summary information with respect to the Company’s land banking arrangements is as follows as of the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Note 12—Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes

On August 12, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the residential homebuilding business of PNW Home Builders, L.L.C. (“PNW Parent”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated June 22, 2014 among California Lyon, PNW Parent, PNW Home Builders North, L.L.C., PNW Home Builders South, L.L.C. and Crescent Ventures, L.L.C. Prior to such completion, California Lyon assigned its interests in the Purchase Agreement to Polygon WLH LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of California Lyon (“Polygon WLH”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Polygon WLH acquired, for cash, all of the membership interests of the underlying limited liability companies and certain service companies and other assets that comprised the residential homebuilding operations of PNW Parent and which conducted business as Polygon Northwest Company (“Polygon”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $520.0 million, plus an additional approximately $28.0 million at closing pursuant to working capital adjustments reflecting, among other adjustments, additional homebuilding inventory for lots owned and controlled and a reduction in assumed liabilities including accounts payable, in each case as compared to estimates made at the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, and which cash purchase price remains subject to final working capital adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”). The acquired entities now operate as two new divisions of the Company under the Polygon name, one in Washington, with a core market of Seattle, and the other in Oregon, with a core market of Portland. Through the Acquisition, the Company added over 4,600 owned or controlled lots to its land portfolio in two attractive Western U.S. markets. As of the acquisition date, Polygon’s homebuilding operations had 12 active selling communities in Washington and Oregon.

The Company financed the Acquisition with a combination of proceeds from its issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2022, cash on hand including approximately $100 million of aggregate proceeds from several separate land banking arrangements with respect to land parcels located in California, Washington and Oregon,

each of which is entitled but undeveloped, and including parcels acquired in the Acquisition, and $120 million of borrowings under a new one-year senior unsecured loan facility.

7.00% Senior Notes due 2022

On August 11, 2014, WLH PNW Finance Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of California Lyon (“Escrow Issuer”), completed its private placement with registration rights of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The 2022 Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. On August 12, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, Escrow Issuer merged with and into California Lyon (the “Escrow Merger”), and California Lyon assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the 2022 Notes and the related indenture by operation of law. Following the Escrow Merger, California Lyon is the obligor under the 2022 Notes, and the 2022 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its existing and future wholly owned subsidiaries, including Polygon WLH and the entities acquired through the Acquisition. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Notes was used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition.

Senior Unsecured Facility

On August 12, 2014, the Company entered into a senior unsecured loan facility (the “Senior Unsecured Loan Facility”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $120 million in order to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition (the “Senior Unsecured Loan”). The Senior Unsecured Loan will bear interest at an annual rate equal to a Eurodollar rate (subject to a minimum “floor” of 1.00%), plus an initial margin, which margin will increase by 0.50% every three months after August 12, 2014 that the Senior Unsecured Loan remains outstanding, subject to an interest rate cap. The Senior Unsecured Facility will initially mature on the one-year anniversary of August 12, 2014, and may be prepaid in whole or in part prior to maturity without penalty. Any Senior Unsecured Loan that has not been previously repaid in full on or prior to the initial maturity date will be automatically converted into a senior term loan facility, which could be exchanged at the option of the lenders thereunder in whole or in part for senior exchange notes. The obligations of California Lyon under the Senior Unsecured Facility are guaranteed by the same entities that are guarantors under the existing Revolving Credit Facility, and the Senior Unsecured Facility ranks pari passu with California Lyon’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness.

Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility

On July 3, 2014, California Lyon and the lenders party thereto entered into an amendment to our $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which amendment, among other changes, incorporated a minimum borrowing base availability of $50.0 million and increased the maximum leverage ratio from 60% to 75% for the first four quarters following the Acquisition.

No other events have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014, that has required recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements.



Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

WILLIAM LYON HOMES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company is one of the largest Western U.S. regional homebuilders. Headquartered in Newport Beach, California, the Company is primarily engaged in the design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. The Company’s core markets include Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Denver. The Company has a distinguished legacy of more than 58 years of homebuilding operations, over which time it has sold in excess of 77,000 homes. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, or the 2014 period, the Company had revenues from homes sales of $308.5 million, an 57% increase from $197.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, or the 2013 period, which includes results from all five reportable operating segments. The Company had net new home orders of 788 homes in the 2014 period, a 9% increase from 721 in the 2013 period, and the average sales price ("ASP") for homes closed increased 57% to $504,000 in the 2014 period from $321,500 in the 2013 period.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to operate in the ordinary course of its business and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company delivered 612 homes, with an average selling price of approximately $504,000, and recognized home sales revenue of $308.5 million. The company generated net income of $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and earnings per share of $0.64, on a diluted basis. The Company recorded its tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in certain key financial metrics, including new home orders and dollar value of backlog. The Company continues to see positive trends in sales prices, as an increase in pricing is reflected in our average sales price of homes in backlog of approximately $557,600 as of June 30, 2014, which is 11% higher than the average sales price of homes closed for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $500,500.

Market conditions continued to be favorable during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Since the industry experienced significant price appreciation and sales velocity during the first part of 2013, housing affordability has diminished slightly compared to a year ago, reflected in the sales pace experienced in the first half of 2014. Despite this, the underlying housing fundamentals remain positive with relatively low housing inventory, solid demand for new housing, and strong economic trends, causing the Company to see strong financial results and quarter over quarter growth.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company is selling homes in 41 communities and had a consolidated backlog of 544 sold but unclosed homes, with an associated sales value of $303.3 million, representing a 6% increase in units, and 47% increase in dollars, as compared to the backlog at June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company opened nine net new communities. The Company believes that the attractive fundamentals in its markets, its leading market share positions, its long-standing relationships with land developers, its significant land supply and its focus on providing the best possible customer experience, positions the Company to capitalize on meaningful growth.

Homebuilding gross margin percentage and adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 24.0% and 27.4%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 18.8% and 25.5%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in gross margins is primarily related to an increase in net sales prices year-over-year, while costs have remained steady, in most of our markets.

Comparisons of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2013

Revenues from homes sales increased 39% to $168.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $120.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to a 43% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $500,500 in the 2014 period compared to $349,700 in the 2013 period, partially offset by a 3% decrease in homes closed to 336 homes during the 2014 period compared to 345 homes during the 2013 period. The number of net new home orders for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 8% to 388 homes from 360 homes for the three months ended June 30, 2013.



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2014		2013		Amount		%
Number of Net New Home Orders
Southern California	161		104		57		55	%

Colorado	45		31		14		45	%
Total	388		360		28		8	%
Cancellation Rate	12	%	17	%	(5	)%

The 8% increase in net new homes orders is driven by a 58% increase in average number of sales locations to 38 average locations in 2014 compared to 24 in the 2013 period, offset by a decrease in absorption rates as the number of orders per sales location decreased in all of our markets. The absorption rates during the second quarter of 2013 in all of our markets were 15.0 orders per community, or 1.2 per week, compared to 10.0 sales per community, or 0.8 per week in the 2014 period. Cancellation rates during the 2014 period decreased to 12% from 17% during the 2013 period.

Arizona	6	6	—	—	%
Nevada	9	5	4	80	%
Colorado	7	5	2	40	%
Total	38	24	14	58	%

The average number of sales locations for the Company increased to 38 locations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 24 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, driven by the opening of communities in all markets except Arizona during 2014. The increase in average number of sales locations is in line with the Company's growth plans as we continue to convert our land supply into home sites for customers.

Nevada	123	114	9		8	%

Total	544	511	33		6	%

The Company’s backlog at June 30, 2014 increased 6% to 544 units from 511 units at June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to an 8% increase in net new orders, to 388 units for the period ended June 30, 2014 from 360 units for the period ended June 30, 2013, coupled with a 3% decrease in the number of homes closed, from 345 for the 2013 period to 336 for the 2014 period. These changes were partially offset by a 1% decrease in beginning backlog, from 498 in the 2013 period to 492 in the 2014 period.

Total	$	303,328	$	206,757	$	96,571		47	%

The dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed as of June 30, 2014 was $303.3 million, up 47% from $206.8 million as of June 30, 2013. The increase primarily reflects an increase in average sales prices for new home orders. The Company experienced an increase of 38% in the average sales price of homes in backlog to $557,600 as of June 30, 2014 compared to $404,600 as of June 30, 2013. The increase is driven by a shift in product mix to projects with a higher selling price, and the Company's strategy of diversifying product offerings to move-up buyers. The increase in the dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed as described above generally results in an increase in operating revenues in the subsequent period as compared to the previous period.

In Southern California, the dollar amount of backlog increased 72% to $135.2 million as of June 30, 2014 from $78.5 million as of June 30, 2013, which is attributable to a 107% increase in the number of homes in backlog, to 217 at June 30, 2014 compared to 105 at June 30, 2013, partially offset by a 17% decrease in average sales price of homes in backlog, to $623,000 during the 2014 period from $748,000 in the 2013 period. In Southern California, the cancellation rate increased to 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In Northern California, the dollar amount of backlog increased 36% to $28.0 million as of June 30, 2014 from $20.6 million as of June 30, 2013, which is attributable to a 31% increase in the number of units in backlog to 68 as of June 30, 2014 from 52 as of June 30, 2013, as well as an increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog of 4%, to $411,400 as of June 30, 2014, from $397,000 as of June 30, 2013. In Northern California, the cancellation rate increased to 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In Arizona, the dollar amount of backlog decreased 57% to $19.8 million as of June 30, 2014 from $46.5 million as of June 30, 2013, which is attributable to a 59% decrease in the number of units in backlog to 73 as of June 30, 2014 from 177 as of June 30, 2013, partially offset by an 3% increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog to $270,800 as of June 30, 2014 compared to $262,500 as of June 30, 2013. In Arizona, the cancellation rate decreased to 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In Nevada, the dollar amount of backlog increased 156% to $90.2 million as of June 30, 2014 from $35.3 million as of June 30, 2013, which is attributable to an 8% increase in the number of units in backlog to 123 as of June 30, 2014 from 114 as of June 30, 2013. This increase also reflects a 137% increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog to $733,700 as of June 30, 2014 compared to $309,700 as of June 30, 2013. In Nevada, the cancellation rate decreased to 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In Colorado, the dollar amount of backlog increased 17% to $30.1 million as of June 30, 2014 from $25.8 million as of June 30, 2013, which is attributable an increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog of 17%, to $478,600 as of June 30, 2014, from $409,700 as of June 30, 2013.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the number of homes closed decreased 3% to 336 from 345 in the 2013 period. There was a 134% increase in Southern California to 180 homes closed in the 2014 period compared to 77 homes closed in the 2013 period, and a 27% increase in Northern California to 28 homes closed in the 2014 period compared to 22 homes closed in the 2013 period. Arizona recorded a 56% decrease in homes closed to 55 in the 2014 period from 124 in the 2013 period, and Nevada saw a 26% decrease in homes closed to 53 in the 2014 period compared to 72 in the 2013 period. Colorado recorded a 60% period over period decrease, closing 20 homes during the 2014 period, compared to 50 during the 2013 period. These decreases were the result of a lower beginning balances in the total number of homes in backlog as of the beginning of the period, as the conversion rate between periods was relatively consistent, averaging approximately 70% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The increase in homebuilding revenue of 39% to $168.2 million for the 2014 period from $120.6 million for the 2013 period is primarily attributable to a 43% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $500,500 during the 2014 period from $349,700 during the 2013 period, impacted slightly by a 3% decrease in the number of homes closed to 336 during the 2014 period from 345 in the 2013 period. On a same store basis, which represents projects that were open during the comparable periods, average sales price has increased 32% to $445,400 in the 2014 period, from $338,700 in the 2013 period. The increase in average home sales price resulted in a $50.7 million increase in revenue, slightly reduced by a $3.2 million decrease in revenue attributable to a 3% decrease in the number of homes closed.

The average sales price of homes closed for the 2014 period increased primarily due to increasing price points, or product mix, of our actively selling projects from projects available to first time buyers or first time “move up” buyers, particularly in California and Nevada. In the Southern California segment, the overall average sales price increase is primarily due to 17 closings with an average sales price exceeding $1,100,000. In the Nevada segment, the overall average sales price increase was driven by 11 closings with an average sales price exceeding $500,000.

For homebuilding gross margins, the comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the three months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

•

In Northern California, homebuilding gross margins increased 370 basis points to 29.1% in the 2014 period from 25.4% in the 2013 period. The increase was driven by a 27% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $439,800 for the 2014 period, compared to $346,800 during the 2013 period. On a same store basis, average sales price increases of 18% to $511,700 in the 2014 period compared to $435,300 in the 2013 period.

•

In Arizona, homebuilding gross margins increased 420 basis points to 22.5% in the 2014 period from 18.3% in the 2013 period, due to rising price points of actively selling projects. The increase was due to a 9% increase in the average sales price of homes closed of $267,600 in the 2014 period from $244,400 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 4% from $199,600 in the 2013 period to $207,300 in the 2014 period.

•

In Nevada, homebuilding gross margins increased 310 basis points to 23.7% in the 2014 period from 20.6% in the 2013 period attributable to a shift to higher margin projects. The higher margin projects show a 41% increase in the average sales price of homes closed of $347,000 in the 2014 period from $246,400 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 35% from $195,800 in the 2013 period to $264,900 in the 2014 period.


•	In Colorado, homebuilding gross margins increased 270 basis points to 13.8% in the 2014 period from 11.1% in the 2013 period attributable to an 10% increase in the average sales price of homes closed of $458,500 in the 2014 period from $417,100 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 7% to $395,400 in the 2014 period from $370,800 in the 2013 period.

For the comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the three months ended June 30, 2013, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, was 27.2% for the 2014 period compared to 27.0% for the 2013 period. The increase was primarily a result of the changes discussed for homebuilding gross margins described previously.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with its competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to homebuilding gross margin.

Construction Services Revenue

Construction services revenue, which was entirely recorded in Southern California and Northern California, was $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue attributable to one project in Northern California.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Colorado	899		1,209		(310		)	(26	)%
Total	$	8,924	$	6,135	$	2,789		45	%

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenue increased to 5.3% in the 2014 period compared to 5.1% in the 2013 period. This is primarily attributable to an increase in advertising expense as a percentage of home sales revenue to 1.3% in the 2014 period from 1.1% in the 2013 period due to an increase in the number of average sales locations to 38 in the 2014 period compared to 24 in the 2013 period.

General and Administrative Expense

Corporate	5,386		5,426		(40		)	(1	)%
Total	$	11,019	$	9,292	$	1,727		19	%

General and administrative expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenues decreased to 6.6% in the 2014 period compared to 7.7% in the 2013 period. This decrease was driven by increased revenues, offset by an increase in salaries and benefits due to increased headcount in the 2014 period.

Other Items

Other operating costs remained consistent at $0.7 million in the 2014 period compared to $0.6 million in the 2013 period.

Interest activity for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the three months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013
Interest incurred	$	11,919	$	7,849
Less: Interest capitalized	11,919		6,582
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized	$	—	$	1,267
Cash paid for interest	$	19,051	$	14,350

The increase in interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2013, reflects an increase in the Company's overall debt, offset by a decrease in effective interest rates. Interest capitalized relative to the amount incurred was higher in the 2014 period due to higher qualifying assets in the 2014 period as compared to the 2013 period.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6.2 million. The significant drivers of the effective rate are the allocation of income to noncontrolling interests, related party loss recapture, domestic production activities deduction, and release of valuation allowance. The Company did not record a significant provision for income taxes due to a full valuation allowance during the 2013 period.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $2.5 million during the 2014 period, from $1.7 million during the 2013 period. This is primarily due to the formation of one additional joint venture during fiscal year 2014, resulting in increased activity during the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Income Attributable to William Lyon Homes

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to William Lyon Homes for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and the three months ended June 30, 2013 was net income of $12.3 million, and $7.4 million, respectively.

Preferred Stock Dividends

The Company did not have preferred stock outstanding during the 2014 period. As such, the Company did not record any amounts for preferred stock dividends in the 2014 period compared to $0.5 million in the 2013 period. The Company’s preferred stock was converted to common stock in conjunction with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) on May 21, 2013.

(1)	Lots controlled may be purchased by the Company as consolidated projects or may be purchased by newly formed joint ventures.

Total lots owned and controlled has decreased slightly to 13,755 lots owned and controlled at June 30, 2014 from 13,861 lots at June 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to significant land acquisitions, most notably in our Southern and Northern California segments, due to the acquisition of an infill land portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2014, offset by our sustained rate of backlog conversion.

Comparisons of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2013

Revenues from homes sales increased 57% to $308.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $197.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to a 57% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $504,000 in the 2014 period compared to $321,500 in the 2013 period. The number of net new home orders for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 9% to 788 homes from 721 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2013.



	Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2014		2013		Amount		%
Number of Net New Home Orders
Southern California	353		172		181		105	%

Colorado	67		80		(13	)	(16	)%
Total	788		721		67		9	%
Cancellation Rate	13	%	15	%	(2	)%

The 9% increase in net new homes orders is driven by a 57% increase in average number of sales locations to 36 average locations in 2014 compared to 23 in the 2013 period, offset by a decrease in absorption rates as the number of orders per sales location decreased in all of our markets. The absorption rates during the first six months of 2013 were strong, totaling 31.3 orders per community, or 1.2 per week, compared to 21.9 sales per community, or 0.8 per week in the 2014 period. Absorption rates in our Southern California division have remained consistent, year over year, with some slowing in our other divisions. Cancellation rates during the 2014 period decreased to 13% from 15% during the 2013 period.

The average number of sales locations for the Company increased to 36 locations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 23 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, driven by the opening of communities in all markets except Arizona during 2014. The increase in average number of sales locations is in line with the Company's growth plans as we continue to convert our land supply into home sites for customers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the number of homes closed decreased by one unit, to 612 from 613 in the 2013 period. There was a 208% increase in Southern California to 305 homes closed in the 2014 period compared to 99 homes closed in the 2013 period, and a 34% increase in Northern California to 71 homes closed in the 2014 period compared to 53 homes closed in the 2013 period. Arizona recorded a 53% decrease in homes closed to 105 in the 2014 period from 224 in the 2013 period, and Nevada saw a 28% decrease in homes closed to 100 in the 2014 period compared to 138 in the 2013 period. Colorado recorded a 69% period over period decrease, closing 31 homes during the 2014 period, compared to 99 during the 2013 period. These decreases were the result of lower beginning balances in the total number of homes in backlog as of the beginning of the period, as the conversion rate between periods was relatively consistent, averaging approximately 70% during the first six months of both 2014 and 2013.

The increase in homebuilding revenue of 57% to $308.5 million for the 2014 period from $197.1 million for the 2013 period is primarily attributable to a 57% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $504,000 during the 2014 period from $321,500 during the 2013 period. On a same store basis, which represents projects that were open during the comparable periods, average sales price has increased 49% to $443,900 in the 2014 period, from $297,300 in the 2013 period.

Total	$	504,000	$	321,500	$	182,500	57	%

The average sales price of homes closed for the 2014 period increased primarily due to increasing price points, or product mix, of our actively selling projects to “move up” buyers, particularly in California and Nevada. In the Southern California segment, the overall average sales price increase is primarily due to 39 closings with an average sales price exceeding $1,100,000. In the Nevada segment, the overall average sales price increase was driven by 24 closings with an average sales price exceeding $500,000.

For homebuilding gross margins, the comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

•

In Northern California, homebuilding gross margins increased 680 basis points to 29.5% in the 2014 period from 22.7% in the 2013 period. The increase was driven by a 28% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $425,400 for the 2014 period, compared to $333,000 during the 2013 period. On a same store basis, average sales price increases of 45% to $482,000 in the 2014 period compared to $333,000 in the 2013 period.

•

In Arizona, homebuilding gross margins increased 520 basis points to 22.1% in the 2014 period from 16.9% in the 2013 period, due to rising price points of actively selling projects. The increase was due to a 15% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $266,600 in the 2014 period from $231,800 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 8% to $207,800 in the 2014 period from $192,500 in the 2013 period.

•

In Nevada, homebuilding gross margins increased 260 basis points to 23.3% in the 2014 period from 20.7% in the 2013 period attributable to a shift to higher margin projects. The higher margin projects show a 51% increase in the average sales price of homes closed of $355,400 in the 2014 period from $235,500 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 46% to $272,600 in the 2014 period to $186,800 in the 2013 period.


•	In Colorado, homebuilding gross margins increased 210 basis points to 13.9% in the 2014 period from 11.8% in the 2013 period attributable to an 13% increase in the average sales price of homes closed of $465,700 in the 2014 period from $411,500 in the 2013 period, offset by an increase in the average cost per home closed of 11% to $401,200 in the 2014 period from $362,800 in the 2013 period.

For the comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2013, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, was 27.4% for

the 2014 period compared to 25.5% for the 2013 period. The increase was primarily a result of the changes discussed for homebuilding gross margins described previously.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenue decreased to 5.0% in the 2014 period compared to 5.5% in the 2013 period, reflecting the impact of higher housing revenues in the current period. This is primarily attributable to a decrease in commission expense as a percentage of home sales revenue to 2.7% in the 2014 period from 3.3% in the 2013 period.

General and administrative expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenues decreased to 7.5% in the 2014 period compared to 9.0% in the 2013 period. This decrease was driven by increased revenues, offset by an increase in salaries and benefits due to increased headcount in the 2014 period.

Other Items

Other operating costs remained approximately consistent at $1.3 million in the 2014 period compared to $1.1 million in the 2013 period.

Interest activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

The increase in interest incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the interest incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflects an increase in the Company's overall debt, offset by a decrease in effective interest rates. Interest capitalized relative to the amount incurred was higher in the 2014 period due to higher qualifying assets in the 2014 period as compared to the 2013 period.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $10.8 million. The significant drivers of the effective rate are the allocation of income to noncontrolling interests, related party loss recapture, domestic production activities deduction, and release of valuation allowance. The Company did not record a significant provision for income taxes due to a full valuation allowance during the 2013 period.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $5.1 million during the 2014 period, from $1.8 million during the 2013 period. This is primarily due to the formation of one additional joint venture during fiscal year 2014, resulting in increased activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Income Attributable to William Lyon Homes

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to William Lyon Homes for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and the six months ended June 30, 2013 was net income of $21.0 million, and $3.3 million, respectively.

Preferred Stock Dividends

The Company did not have preferred stock outstanding during the 2014 period. As such, the Company did not record any amounts for preferred stock dividends in the 2014 period compared to $1.5 million in the 2013 period. The Company’s preferred stock was converted to common stock in conjunction with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) on May 21, 2013.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company delivered 612 homes, with an average selling price of approximately $504,000, and recognized home sales revenues and total revenues of $308.5 million and $329.8 million, respectively.

In the six months ended June 30, 2014, net new home orders increased 9% to 788 in the 2014 period from 721 in the 2013 period, while home closings were flat at 612 in the 2014 period from 613 in the 2013 period. On a consolidated basis, the cancellation rate decreased 2% in the 2014 period to 13%, compared to 15% in the 2013 period. In addition, homebuilding gross margin percentage and adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 24.0% and 27.4%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 18.8% and 25.5%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in gross margins is primarily related to an increase in net sales prices during the period and an increase in absorption, which decreases certain project related costs.

Since its May 2013 initial public offering, which raised approximately $163.7 million of net proceeds, the Company has access to the capital markets while prudently managing leverage and the balance sheet. In October 2013 the Company issued an additional $100.0 million in principal amount of 8 1/2% senior notes, as a "tack-on" to the the original November 2012 issuance at price to par of 106.5% resulting in net proceeds of approximately $104.6 million, and in March 2014 the Company issued $150.0 million in principal amount of 5 3/4% senior notes. These transactions, coupled with the $100.0 million revolving credit facility entered into during August 2013 yields significant liquidity for the Company, while its net debt to capital ratio is 52.1% as of June 30, 2014.

The Company benefits from a sizable and well-located lot supply. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 11,614 lots, all of which are entitled, and had options to purchase an additional 2,141 lots. The Company’s lot supply reflects its balanced approach to land investment. The Company has a diverse mix of finished lots available for near-term homebuilding operations and longer-term strategic land positions to support future growth. The Company believes that its current inventory of owned and controlled lots is sufficient to supply the vast majority of its projected future home closings for the next three years and a portion of future home closings for a multi-year period thereafter. The Company’s meaningful supply of owned lots allows it to be selective in identifying new land acquisition opportunities, with a primary focus on optioning and acquiring land to drive closings, revenues and earnings growth in 2016 and beyond, and largely insulates it from the heavy pricing competition for near-term finished lots.

The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements with the proceeds identified above, as well as from internally generated funds from the sales of homes and/or land sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had cash used in operations of $202.5 million, which included land acquisitions of $238.3 million. In addition, the Company has the option to use additional outside borrowing, form new joint ventures with partners that provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, and buy land via lot options or land banking arrangements. The Company has financed, and may in the future finance, certain projects and land acquisitions with construction loans secured by real estate inventories, seller-provided financing and land banking transactions. The Company may also draw on its revolving line of credit to fund land acquisitions, as discussed below.

Acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes

On August 12, 2014, the Company acquired the residential homebuilding operations of Polygon Northwest Homes for an aggregate cash purchase price of $520.0 million, plus an additional approximately $28.0 million at closing pursuant to working capital adjustments reflecting, among other adjustments, additional homebuilding inventory for lots owned and controlled and a reduction in assumed liabilities including accounts payable, in each case as compared to estimates made at the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, and which cash purchase price remains subject to final working capital adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement ("the Acquisition"). The Company financed the Acquisition with a

combination of proceeds from its issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2022, cash on hand including approximately $100 million of aggregate proceeds from several separate land banking arrangements with respect to land parcels located in California, Washington and Oregon, each of which is entitled but undeveloped, and including parcels acquired in the Acquisition, and $120 million of borrowings under a new one-year senior unsecured loan facility.

7.00% Senior Notes due 2022

Senior Unsecured Facility

On August 12, 2014, the Company entered into a senior unsecured loan facility (the “Senior Unsecured Facility”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $120 million in order to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition (the “Senior Unsecured Loan”). The Senior Unsecured Loan will bear interest at an annual rate equal to a Eurodollar rate (subject to a minimum “floor” of 1.00%), plus an initial margin, which margin will increase by 0.50% every three months after August 12, 2014 that the Senior Unsecured Loan remains outstanding, subject to an interest rate cap. The Senior Unsecured Facility will initially mature on the one-year anniversary of August 12, 2014, and may be prepaid in whole or in part prior to maturity without penalty. Any Senior Unsecured Loan that has not been previously repaid in full on or prior to the initial maturity date will be automatically converted into a senior term loan facility, which could be exchanged at the option of the lenders thereunder in whole or in part for senior exchange notes. The obligations of California Lyon under the Senior Unsecured Facility are guaranteed by the same entities that are guarantors under the existing Revolving Credit Facility, and the Senior Unsecured Facility ranks pari passu with California Lyon’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness.

5 3/4% Senior Notes Due 2019

On March 31, 2014, William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“California Lyon”) completed its offering of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "5.75% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The 5.75% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount.

As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding amount of the notes was $150 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, and mature on April 15, 2019. The 5.75% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 5.75% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020, as described below. The 5.75% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.75% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

8 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2020

On November 8, 2012, California Lyon completed its offering of 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2020, (the "initial 8.5% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $325 million. The initial 8.5% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount.

On October 24, 2013, California Lyon completed the sale to certain purchasers of an additional $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “additional 8.5 %Notes”, and together with the initial 8.5% notes, the "8.5% Notes" ) at an issue price of 106.5% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from and including May 15, 2013, in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $104.6 million.

As of June 30, 2014 the outstanding principal amount of the 8.5% Notes was $431 million. The 8.5% Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, and mature on November 15, 2020. The 8.5% Notes are are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and by certain of its existing and future subsidiaries. The 8.5% Notes are California Lyon's and the guarantors' senior unsecured obligations. The 8.5% Notes and the guarantees rank senior to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt, and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon's and the guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior debt, including the 5.75% Notes. The 8.5% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to any of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt.

Revolving Lines of Credit

On August 7, 2013, California Lyon and the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $100 million (the “Facility”). The Facility will mature on August 5, 2016, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Facility. The Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount can be increased to up to $125 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50 million for letters of credit. The Facility contains various covenants, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, liquidity and interest coverage, as well as a limitation on investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitment and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings and require cash collateralization of letters of credit, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitment and require that California Lyon repay outstanding borrowings under the Facility and cash collateralize letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Facility currently accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%.

On July 3, 2014, California Lyon and the lenders party thereto entered into an amendment to our $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which amendment, among other changes, incorporated a minimum borrowing base availability of $50.0 million and increased the maximum leverage ratio from 60% to 75% for the first four quarters following the Acquisition.

Borrowings under the Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2014, the Facility was undrawn.

Net Debt to Total Capital

The Company’s ratio of net debt to net book capital was 52.1% and 39.7% as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The ratio of net debt to net book capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, by net book capital (notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus redeemable convertible preferred stock and total equity (deficit)). The Company believes this calculation is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to total capital.

Land Banking Arrangements

As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers its right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties, or land banking arrangements. These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land being purchased. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit remaining deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial

and market risk associated with land holdings. The use of these land banking arrangements is dependent on, among other things, the availability of capital to the option provider, general housing market conditions and geographic preferences.

The Company participated in one land banking arrangement that was not a variable interest entity in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), but was consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company had determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking arrangement. The remaining lots under the above land banking agreement were purchased by the Company during April 2014. Therefore, the Company had recorded the remaining purchase price of the land of $13.0 million as of December 31, 2013, respectively, which was included in real estate inventories not owned and liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying balance sheet.

Summary information with respect to the Company’s land banking arrangements is as follows as of the periods presented (dollars in thousands):



	December 31, 2013
Total number of land banking projects	1
Total number of lots	610
Total purchase price	$	161,465
Balance of lots still under option and not purchased:
Number of lots	65
Purchase price	$	12,960
Forfeited deposits if lots are not purchased	$	9,210

The remaining lots under the above land banking agreement were purchased by the Company during April 2014. No further obligations remain under the agreement.

Joint Venture Financing

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are general partners or members in joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. As described more fully in Critical Accounting Policies—Variable Interest Entities, certain joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method because the Company has a 50% or less voting or economic interest (and thus such joint ventures are not controlled by the Company). Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s had no investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures.

Assessment District Bonds

In some jurisdictions in which the Company develops and constructs property, assessment district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure improvements and fees. Such financing has been an important part of financing master-planned communities due to the long-term nature of the financing, favorable interest rates when compared to the Company’s other sources of funds and the fact that the bonds are sold, administered and collected by the relevant government entity. As a landowner benefited by the improvements, the Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When the Company’s homes or other properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the responsibility for the related assessments.

Cash Flows—Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:


•	Net cash used in operating activities increased to $202.5 million in the 2014 period from $66.7 million in the 2013 period. The change was primarily a result of (i) a net increase in real estate inventories-owned of $257.5 million in

the 2014 period primarily driven by $238.3 million in land acquisitions, compared to an increase of $68.9 million in the 2013 period, and (ii) consolidated net income of $26.1 million in the 2014 period compared $6.6 million in the 2013 period, offset by (iii) an increase in receivables of $1.0 million in the 2014 period compared to an increase of $14.6 million in the 2013 period primarily attributable to the timing of proceeds received from escrow for home closings, (iv) an increase in accounts payable of $13.9 million in the 2014 period compared to $2.9 million in the 2013 period due to timing of payments, and (v) an increase in accrued expenses of $9.9 million in the 2014 period compared to an increase of $2.4 million in the 2013 period primarily due to an increase in taxes payable and the timing of payments.


•	Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million in the 2014 period compared to $1.5 million in the 2013 period, as a result of purchases of property and equipment of $1.6 million in the 2014 period, compared to $1.5 million in the 2013 period.

•

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $135.3 million in the 2014 period from $203.6 million in the 2013 period. The change was primarily as a result of (i) proceeds from issuance of 5 3/4% Senior notes of $150.0 million in the 2014 period, with no comparable amount in the 2013 period, offset by (ii) proceeds from the issuance of common stock during the 2013 period of $179.4 million compared to $0.3 million in the 2014 period, and (iii) net principal payments on notes payable of $4.5 million in the 2014 period as compared to net borrowings of $22.1 million in the 2013 period.

Based on the aforementioned, the Company believes it has sufficient cash and sources of financing for at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements including joint venture financing, option agreements, land banking arrangements and variable interests in consolidated and unconsolidated entities. These arrangements are more fully described above and in Notes 2 and 11 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” In addition, the Company is party to certain contractual obligations, including land purchases and project commitments, which are detailed in Note 11 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Inflation

The Company’s revenues and profitability may be affected by increased inflation rates and other general economic conditions. In periods of high inflation, demand for the Company’s homes may be reduced by increases in mortgage interest rates. Further, the Company’s profits will be affected by increases in the costs of land, construction, labor and administrative expenses. The Company’s ability to raise prices at such times will depend upon demand and other competitive factors.

Description of Projects and Communities Under Development

The Company’s homebuilding projects usually take two to five years to develop. The following table presents project information relating to each of the Company’s homebuilding operating segments as of June 30, 2014 and only includes projects with lots owned as of June 30, 2014, lots consolidated in accordance with certain accounting principles as of June 30, 2014 or homes closed for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Income Taxes

See Note 8 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a description of the Company’s income taxes.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 7 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a description of the Company’s transactions with related parties.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those which impact its most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s most critical accounting policies are debtor in possession accounting; fresh start accounting; real estate inventories and cost of sales; impairment of real estate inventories; sales and profit recognition; variable interest entities; and income taxes. Management believes that there have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the Company’s floating rate debt with a total outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 of $29.9 million where the interest rate is variable based upon certain bank reference or prime rates. The average prime rate during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 3.25%. If variable interest rates were to increase by 10%, there would be no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements because the outstanding debt has an interest rate floor of 4.0% to 5.0%.

The following table presents principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, interest rates and the estimated fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt obligations as of June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):



	Years ending December 31,												Thereafter			Total		Fair Value at March 31, 2014
	2014			2015			2016		2017		2018		Thereafter			Total		Fair Value at March 31, 2014

Interest rate	4.0		%	7.0		%	—		—		—		7.8		%	—		—

The Company does not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates, foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive

officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation as of June 30, 2014, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management determined that as of June 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine litigation and some of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company does not have any currently pending litigation of which the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by any of the risks and uncertainties described therein. Other than as provided below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

We have substantial outstanding indebtedness and may incur additional debt in the future.

We are highly leveraged. At June 30, 2014, after giving pro forma effect to the issuance and sale of the 2022 Notes, the Escrow Merger and borrowings of $120.0 million under the Senior Unsecured Facility, the total outstanding principal amount of our debt was $1,030.9 million. In addition, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility with aggregate borrowing capacity of $100.0 million and under or project-level financing facilities. As of June 30, 2014, we would have had approximately $134.2 million of additional borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility and our project-level financing facilities. Moreover, the terms of the indenture governing our 2022 Notes, 2020 notes and 2019 notes permit us to incur additional debt, and the Senior Unsecured Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility permit us to incur additional debt, subject to certain restrictions. Our high level of indebtedness could have detrimental consequences, including the following:


•	our ability to obtain additional financing as needed for working capital, land acquisition costs, building costs, other capital expenditures, or general corporate purposes, or to refinance existing indebtedness before its scheduled maturity, may be limited;


•	we will need to use a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, which will reduce the funds available for other purposes;


•	if we are unable to comply with the terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness, the holders of that indebtedness could accelerate that indebtedness and exercise other rights and remedies against us;


•	if we have a higher level of indebtedness than some of our competitors, it may put us at a competitive disadvantage and reduce our flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in the industry, including increased competition; and


•	the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the debt being refinanced.

We cannot be certain that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt, support operations and meet other obligations. If we do not have the resources to meet these and other obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our outstanding debt, sell assets or borrow more money. We may not be able to do so on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of our assets on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses. Defaults under our debt agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

The agreements governing our debt impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and taking some corporate actions.

The agreements governing our debt impose significant operating and financial restrictions. These restrictions limit our ability, among other things, to:


•	incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain equity interests;


•	pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity or prepay subordinated debt;


•	make certain investments;


•	sell assets;


•	incur liens;


•	create certain restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to transfer assets;


•	enter into transactions with affiliates;


•	create unrestricted subsidiaries; and


•	consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Our July 3, 2014 amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility incorporated, among other changes, a minimum borrowing base availability of $50.0 million and increased the maximum leverage ratio from 60% to 75% for the first four fiscal quarters following the Polygon Acquisition. Pursuant to the amendment, the minimum borrowing base availability is scheduled to decrease sequentially by $5.0 million the first day after each fiscal quarter end, commencing on January 1, 2015. In addition, the maximum leverage ratio will decrease from 75% to 70% on the last day of the fifth fiscal quarter following the closing of the Polygon Acquisition, and for the fiscal quarters thereafter, will return to 60%. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate liquidity to meet our obligations, including our obligations with respect to our outstanding senior notes and our other indebtedness, once the minimum borrowing base availability declines or falls away, nor can we assure you that we will be in compliance with our maximum leverage ratio covenant once the required level reverts to 60%. After giving pro forma effect to the issuance and sale of the 2022 Notes, the Escrow Merger and borrowings of $120.0 million under the Senior Unsecured Facility and the use of proceeds therefrom, our leverage ratio as of June 30, 2014, as calculated under the Revolving Credit Facility, would have been 67.8%. Failure to have sufficient borrowing base availability in the future or to be in compliance with our maximum leverage ratio under the Revolving Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

In addition, we may in the future enter into other agreements refinancing or otherwise governing indebtedness which impose yet additional restrictions and covenants, including covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments, reduce liquidity below certain levels, make distributions to our stockholders and otherwise affect our operating policies. These restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to pursue available business opportunities. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default in respect of the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing that indebtedness.

Risks Related to the Polygon Acquisition

We have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction and acquisition-related integration costs in connection with the Polygon Acquisition.

We incurred significant transaction costs in connection with the execution and consummation of the Polygon Acquisition as well as the financing transactions in connection therewith. In addition, we are currently implementing a plan to integrate the residential homebuilding operations of Polygon Northwest Homes following the closing of the Polygon Acquisition on August 12, 2014. Although we anticipate achieving synergies in connection with the Polygon Acquisition, we also expect to incur costs implementing such cost savings measures. We cannot identify the timing, nature and amount of all such charges as of the date of this quarterly report. Although we believe that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, will offset incremental transaction- and acquisition-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. We have identified some, but not all, of the actions necessary to achieve our anticipated cost and operational savings. Accordingly, the cost and operational savings may not be achievable in our anticipated amount or timeframe or at all.

We and Polygon Northwest Homes will be subject to business uncertainties after the consummation of the Polygon Acquisition that could adversely affect our and its business.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Polygon Acquisition on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on us and Polygon Northwest Homes. Although we and Polygon Northwest Homes intend to take actions to reduce any adverse effects, these uncertainties may impair our and their ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after completion of the Polygon Acquisition. These uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers and others that deal with us and Polygon Northwest Homes to seek to change existing business relationships with us and Polygon Northwest Homes.

Additionally, employee retention could be reduced after the consummation of the Polygon Acquisition, as employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles or encounter difficulties in the integration process. The successful integration of Polygon Northwest Homes after completion of the Polygon Acquisition will depend, in part, upon our ability to retain the employees and members of senior management following the Polygon Acquisition. If, despite our and Polygon Northwest Homes’ retention efforts, key employees or members of senior management depart before or after consummation of

the Polygon Acquisition, our business could be harmed and we may not realize all of the expected benefits of the Polygon Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements filed on Form 8-K on July 30, 2014 were presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations following the Polygon Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements filed on Form 8-K on July 30, 2014 were presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on various adjustments and assumptions, many of which are preliminary, and do not purport to be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations following the Polygon Acquisition. Our actual financial condition and results of operations following the Polygon Acquisition may not be consistent with, or evident from, these pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations following the Polygon Acquisition.

We have made certain assumptions relating to the Polygon Acquisition that may prove to be materially inaccurate.

We have made certain assumptions relating to the Polygon Acquisition, including, for example:


•	projections of Polygon Northwest Homes’ future revenues;


•	the amount of goodwill and intangibles that will result from the acquisition;


•	certain other purchase accounting adjustments that we expect will be recorded in our financial statements in connection with the Polygon Acquisition;


•	acquisition costs, including transaction and integration costs; and


•	other financial and strategic rationales and risks of the acquisition.

While management has made such assumptions in good faith and believes them to be reasonable, the assumptions may turn out to be materially inaccurate, including for reasons beyond our control. If these assumptions are incorrect we may change or modify our assumptions, such change or modification could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We may write-off intangible assets, such as goodwill.

We expect to record intangible assets, including goodwill in connection with the Polygon Acquisition. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate whether facts and circumstances indicate any impairment of the value of intangible assets. As circumstances change, we cannot assure you that the value of these intangible assets will be realized by us. If we determine that a significant impairment has occurred, we will be required to write-off the impaired portion of intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs.

Prior to the Polygon Acquisition, Polygon Northwest Homes was a privately-held company and its new obligations of being a part of a public company may require significant resources and management attention.

Upon consummation of the Polygon Acquisition, the entities acquired from Polygon Northwest Homes became subsidiaries of our consolidated Company, and will need to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. We will need to ensure that Polygon Northwest Homes establishes and maintains effective disclosure controls as well as internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and such compliance efforts may be costly and may divert the attention of management.
