Based on our public float of $58.9 million at June 29, 2018, 28, 2019, we qualify asare a smaller reporting company and are subject to reduced disclosure obligations in our periodic reports and proxy statements.


Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-XS-X and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim period presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

year due to seasonal variations and other factors, such as the effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and its impact on our future results.  

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" refer to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Subsequent Events

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Since March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to spread and various state and local governments have issued or extended "stay-at-home" and “shelter-in-place” orders which have impacted and restricted various aspects of our business. At the date of this filing, our construction and sales operations are functioning in most of the jurisdictions in which we operate,  subject to government restrictions and safety constraints we have enacted in order to protect our employees, trade contractors, and customers; however, traffic and sales activity has declined and order cancellations have increased.  While we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, an extended economic slowdown in the U.S. could materially impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows in fiscal 2020 and potentially beyond. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided below under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (as amended from time to time, the “Tax Plan”) to help preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses and certain other tax attributes (collectively, the “Tax Benefits”). The Tax Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or entity acquiring shares of the Company equal to or exceeding 4.95%. The Tax Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in our investor base have the unintended effect of limiting the use of our Tax Benefits. In connection with its adoption of the Tax Plan, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) for each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) of the Company outstanding at the close of business on May 20, 2020.  As long as the Rights are attached to the Common Stock, the Company will issue one Right (subject to adjustment) with each new share of the Common Stock so that all such shares will have attached Rights.  Each Right has an exercise price of $11.50. Each Right, which is only exercisable if a person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquires beneficial ownership of 4.95% or more of the Common Stock, subject to certain limited exceptions (the “Acquiring Person”), when exercised will entitle the registered holder other than the Acquiring Person the right to acquire that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value of two times the $11.50 exercise price of the Right, or, at the election of the Board, to exchange each right for one share of Common Stock, in each case, subject to adjustment. Unless redeemed

Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales

We capitalize pre-acquisition, land, development and other allocated costs, including interest, property taxes and indirect construction costs. Pre-acquisition costs, including nonrefundable land deposits, are expensed to other income (expense), netproject abandonment costs if we determine continuation of the prospective project is not probable.

Land, development and other common costs are typically allocated to real estate inventories using a methodology that approximates the relative-sales-value method. Home construction costs per production phase are recorded using the specific identification method. Cost of sales for homes closed includes the estimated total construction costs of each home at completion and an allocation of all applicable land acquisition, land development and related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred) based upon the relative-sales-value of the home within each project. Changes in estimated development and common costs are allocated prospectively to remaining homes in the project.


In accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360"), inventory is stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to its fair value. We review each real estate asset on a quarterly basis or whenever indicators of impairment exist. Real estate assets include projects actively selling and projects under development or held for future development. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in local housing market values and selling prices of comparable homes, significant decreases in gross margins or sales absorption rates, costs significantly in excess of budget, and actual or projected cash flow losses.

THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If there are indicators of impairment, we perform a detailed budget and cash flow review of the applicable real estate inventories to determine whether the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the project are more or less than the asset’s carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows exceed the asset’s carrying value, no impairment adjustment is required. However, if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’sasset���s carrying value then the asset is impaired. If the asset is deemed impaired, it is written down to its fair value in accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820").

When estimating undiscounted future cash flows of a project, we make various assumptions, including: (i) expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered, including the number of homes available, pricing and incentives being offered by us or other builders in other projects, and future sales price adjustments based on market and economic trends; (ii) expected sales pace and cancellation rates based on local housing market conditions, competition and historical trends; (iii) costs expended to date and expected to be incurred including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction costs, interest costs, indirect construction and overhead costs, and selling and marketing costs; (iv) alternative product offerings that may be offered that could have an impact on sales pace, sales price and/or building costs; and (v) alternative uses for the property.

Many assumptions are interdependent and a change in one may require a corresponding change to other assumptions. For example, increasing or decreasing sales absorption rates has a direct impact on the estimated per unit sales price of a home, and the level of time sensitive costs (such as indirect construction, overhead and carrying costs). Depending on the underlying objective of the project, assumptions could have a significant impact on the projected cash flow analysis. For example, if our objective is to preserve operating margins, our cash flow analysis will be different than if the objective is to increase the velocity of sales. These objectives may vary significantly from project to project and change over time.


If a real estate asset is deemed impaired, the impairment is calculated by determining the amount the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value in accordance with ASC 820. We calculate the fair value of real estate inventories considering a land residual value analysis and a discounted cash flow analysis. Under the discounted cash flow method, the fair value is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows using a risk adjusted discount rate. Some of the critical assumptions involved with measuring the asset's fair value include estimating future revenues, sales absorption rates,

THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



development and construction costs, and other applicable project costs. This evaluation and the assumptions used by management to determine future estimated cash flows and fair value require a substantial degree of judgment, especially with respect to real estate projects that have a substantial amount of development to be completed, have not started selling or are in the early stages of sales, or are longer in duration. Actual revenues, costs and time to complete and sell a community could vary from these estimates which could impact the calculation of fair value of the asset and the corresponding amount of impairment that is recorded in our results of operations.operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 March 31, 2020 and 2018, no2019,0 real estate impairments were recorded.

  In cases where we decide to abandon a project, we will fully expense all costs capitalized to such project and will expense and accrue any additional costs that we are contractually obligated to incur.   For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $14.0 million and $5,000 in project abandonment costs were incurred, respectively.  

Capitalization of Interest

We follow the practice of capitalizing interest to real estate inventories during the period of development and to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, when applicable, in accordance with ASC 835,Interest ("ASC 835"). Interest capitalized as a cost component of real estate inventories is included in cost of home sales as related homes or lots are sold. To the extent interest is capitalized to investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, it is included as a reduction of equity in net income from(loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures when the related homes or lots are sold to third parties. In instances where the Company purchases land from an unconsolidated joint venture, the pro rata share of interest capitalized to investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is added to the basis of the land acquired and recognized as a cost of sale upon the delivery of the related homes or land to a third-partythird-party buyer. To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred by us. Qualified assets represent projects that are actively selling or under development as well as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method until such equity investees begin their principal operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To do this, the Company performs the following five steps as outlined in ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Home Sales and Profit Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, home sales revenue is recognized when our performance obligations within the underlying sales contracts are fulfilled. We consider our obligations fulfilled when closing conditions are complete, title has transferred to the homebuyer, and collection of the purchase price is reasonably assured. Sales incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenues when the respective home is closed. The profit we record is based on the calculation of cost of sales, which is dependent on our allocation of costs, as described in more detail above in the section entitled "Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales." When it is determined that the earnings process is not complete, the related revenue and profit are deferred for recognition in future periods.


Land Sales and Profit Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, land sales revenue is recognized when our performance obligations within the underlying sales contracts are fulfilled.  The performance obligations in land sales contracts are typically satisfied at the point in time consideration and title is transferred through escrow at closing.  Total revenue is typically recognized simultaneously with transfer of title to the customer.  In instances where material performance obligations may exist after the closing date, a portion of the price is allocated to each performance obligation with revenue recognized as such obligations are completed.  Variable consideration, such as profit participation, may be included within the land sales transaction price based on the terms of a contract.  The Company includes the estimated amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur when any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Fee Building

The Company enters into fee building agreements to provide services whereby it builds homes on behalf of third-partythird-party property owners. The third-partythird-party property owner funds all project costs incurred by the Company to build and sell the homes. The Company primarily enters into cost plus fee contracts where it charges third-partythird-party property owners for all direct and indirect costs plus a fee. The fee is typically a per-unit fixed fee or based on a percentage of the cost or home sales revenue of the project, depending on the terms of the agreement with the third-partythird-party property owner. For these types of contracts, the Company recognizes revenue based on the actual total costs it has incurred plus the applicable fee. In accordance with ASC 606, we apply the percentage-of-completion method, using the cost-to-cost approach, as it most accurately measures the progress of our efforts in satisfying our obligations within the fee building agreements. Under this approach, revenue is earned in proportion to total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred. In the course of providing fee building services, the Company routinely subcontracts for services and incurs other direct costs on behalf of the property owners. These costs are passed through to the property owners and, in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Company’s revenues and cost of sales.

The Company also provides construction management and coordination services and sales and marketing services as part of agreements with third parties and its unconsolidated joint ventures. In certain contracts, the Company also provides project

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



management and administrative services. For most services provided, the Company fulfills its related obligations as time-based measures, according to the input method guidance described in ASC 606. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis as the Company's efforts are expended evenly throughout the performance period. The Company may also have an obligation to manage the home or lot sales process as part of providing sales and marketing services. This obligation is considered fulfilled when related homes or lots close escrow, as these events represent milestones reached according to the output method guidance described in ASC 606. Accordingly, revenue is recognized in the period that the corresponding lots or homes close escrow. Costs associated with these services are recognized as incurred.

The Company’s fee buildingbuilding revenues have historically been concentrated with a small number of customers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 March 31, 2020 and 2018, 2019, one customer comprised 95%, 93%, 95%98% and 96%91%, respectively, of fee building revenue. The balance of the fee building revenues primarily represented management fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures and third-partythird-party customers. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, 2019, one customer comprised 39%73% and 48%65% of contracts and accounts receivable, respectively, with the balance of contracts and accounts receivable primarily representingrepresenting escrow receivables from home sales.


Variable Interest Entities

The Company accounts for variable interest entities in accordance with ASC 810,Consolidation ("ASC 810"). Under ASC 810, a variable interest entity ("VIE") is created when: (a) the equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, including the equity holders; (b) the entity’s equity holders as a group either (i) lack the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (ii) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (iii) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the entity’s equity holders have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of the equity holder with disproportionately few voting rights.

THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Once we consider the sufficiency of equity and voting rights of each legal entity, we then evaluate the characteristics of the equity holders' interests, as a group, to see if they qualify as controlling financial interests. Our real estate joint ventures consist of limited partnerships and limited liability companies. For entities structured as limited partnerships or limited liability companies, our evaluation of whether the equity holders (equity partners other than us in each our joint ventures) lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest includes the evaluation of whether the limited partners or non-managing members (the non-controlling equity holders) lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, defined as follows:


Participating rights - provide the non-controlling equity holders the ability to direct significant financial and operational decision made in the ordinary course of business that most significantly influence the entity's economic performance.

Kick-out rights - allow the non-controlling equity holders to remove the general partner or managing member without cause.

Participating rights - provide the non-controlling equity holders the ability to direct significant financial and operational decision made in the ordinary course of business that most significantly influence the entity's economic performance.

Kick-out rights - allow the non-controlling equity holders to remove the general partner or managing member without cause.

If we conclude that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met, including if equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest because they lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, we conclude that the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.


If an entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, the enterprise that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

Under ASC 810, a nonrefundable deposit paid to an entity may be deemed to be a variable interest that will absorb some or all of the entity’s expected losses if they occur. Our land purchase and lot option deposits generally represent our maximum exposure to the land seller if we elect not to purchase the optioned property. In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to optioned land prior to takedown. Such costs are classified as real estate inventories, which we would have to write off should we not exercise the option. Therefore, whenever we enter into a land option or purchase contract with an entity and make a nonrefundable deposit, a VIE may have been created. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding nonrefundable cash depositsdeposits of $15.3$13.6 million pertaining to land option contracts and purchase contracts.


THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company was not required to consolidate any VIEs. In accordance with ASC 810, we perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.


Non-controlling Interest

During 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a third-partythird-party property owner. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company analyzed this arrangement and determined that it was not a VIE; however, the Company determined it was required to consolidate the joint venture as the Company has a controlling financial interest with the powers to direct the major decisions of the entity.  As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the third-partythird-party investor had an equity balance ofof $0.1 millionmillion and $0.1 million, respectively.


Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We use the equity method to account for investments in homebuilding and land development joint ventures when any of the following situations exist: 1)1) the joint venture qualifies as a VIE and we are not the primary beneficiary, 2)2) we do not control the joint venture but have the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financial policies, or 3)3) we function as the managing member or general partner of the joint venture and our joint venture partner has substantive participating rights or can replace us as managing member or general partner without cause.

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company concluded that none of its joint ventures were VIEs and accounted for these entities under the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method, we recognize our proportionate share of earnings and losses generated by the joint venture upon the delivery of lots or homes to third parties. Our proportionate share of intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated until the related asset has been sold by the unconsolidated joint venture to third parties. We classify cash distributions received from equity method investees using the cumulative earnings approach consistent with ASC 230,Statement of Cash Flows ("ASC 230"). Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions received are considered returns on investment and is classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless the cumulative distributions received exceed cumulative equity in earnings. When such an excess occurs, the current-period distribution up to this excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Our ownership interests in our unconsolidated joint ventures vary, but are generally less than or equal to 35%. The accounting policies of our joint ventures are generally consistent with those of the Company.

We review real estate inventory held by our unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis, consistent with how we review our real estate inventories as described in more detail above in the section entitled "Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales." We also review our investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures for evidence of other-than-temporary declines in value in accordance with ASC 820. To the extent we deem any portiondeclines in value of our investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures as not recoverable,to be other-than-temporary, we impair our investment accordingly.

Selling and Marketing Expense


Costs incurred for tangible assets directly used in the sales process such as our sales offices, design studios and model landscaping and furnishings are capitalized to other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets under ASC 340,Other Assets and Deferred Costs ("ASC 340"). These costs are depreciated to selling and marketing expenses generally over the shorter of 30 months or the actual estimated life of the selling community. All other selling and marketing costs, such as commissions and advertising, are expensed as incurred.


Warranty Accrual


and Litigation Accruals

We offer warranties on our homes that generally cover various defects in workmanship or materials, or structural construction defects for one year. In addition, we provide a more limited warranty, which generally ranges from a minimum of two years up to the period covered by the applicable statute of repose, that covers certain defined construction defects. Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related homebuilding revenues are recognized. Amounts are accrued based upon the Company’s historical claim and expense rates. In addition, the Company has received warranty payments from third-partythird-party property owners for certain of its fee building projects that have since closed-out where the Company has the contractual risk of construction. These payments are recorded as warranty accruals. We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis and adjust the amounts recorded if necessary. Our warranty accrual is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded through cost of sales.

THE NEW HOME COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




While our subcontractors who perform our homebuilding work generally provide us with an indemnity for claims relating to their workmanship and materials, we also purchase general liability insurance that covers development and construction activity at each of our communities. Our subcontractors are usually covered by these programs through an owner-controlled insurance program, or "OCIP." Consultants such as engineers and architects are generally not covered by the OCIP but are required to maintain their own insurance. In general, we maintain insurance, subject to deductibles and self-insured retentions, to protect us against various risks associated with our activities, including, among others, general liability, "all-risk" property, construction defects, workers’ compensation, automobile, and employee fidelity. Our master general liability policies which cover most of our projects allow for our warranty spend to erode our self-insured retention requirements. We establish a separate reserve for warranty and for known and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) construction defect claims based on our historical claim and expense data. Our warranty accrual and litigation reserves for construction defect claims are presented on a gross basis within accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated financial statements without consideration of insurance recoveries. Expected recoveries from insurance carriers are presented as warranty insurance receivables within other assets in our consolidated financial statements and are recorded based on actual insurance claims and amounts determined using our construction defect claim and warranty accrual estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates.

Contracts and Accounts Receivable

Contracts and accounts receivable primarily represent the fees earned, but not collected, and reimbursable project costs incurred in connection with fee building agreements. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its contracts receivable, and, if it is determined that a receivable might not be fully collectible, an allowance is recorded for the amount deemed uncollectible. This allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the contracts involved and the financial condition of its customers. Factors considered in such evaluations include, but are not limited to: (i) customer type; (ii) historical contract performance; (iii) historical collection and delinquency trends; (iv) customer credit worthiness; and (v) general economic conditions. In addition to contracts receivable, escrow receivables are included in contracts and accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, no2019, 0 allowance was recorded related to contracts and accounts receivable.

Property, Equipment and Capitalized Selling and Marketing Costs

Property, equipment and capitalized selling and marketing costs are recorded at cost and included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Property and equipment are depreciated to general and administrative expenses using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized to general and administrative expenses using the straight-line method generally over the shorter of either their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Capitalized selling and marketing costs are depreciated using the straight-line method to selling and marketing expenses over the shorter of either 30 months or the actual estimated life of the selling community.


Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740,Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). The consolidated provision for, or benefit from, income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.


Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) unrealizable under ASC 740. We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the tax asset we conclude is more likely than not unrealizable. Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of prior cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our utilization experience with net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards and the available tax planning alternatives, to the extent these items are applicable.applicable, and the availability of net operating loss carrybacks under certain circumstances. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends primarily on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the differences become deductible.deductible, as well as the ability to carryback net operating losses in the event that this option becomes available.  The value of our deferred tax assets will depend on applicable income tax rates. Judgment is required in determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements and/or tax returns. Differences between anticipated and actual outcomes of these future tax consequences could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, no2019, 0 valuation allowance was recorded.


ASC 740 defines the methodology for recognizing the benefits of uncertain tax return positions as well as guidance regarding the measurement of the resulting tax benefits.  These provisions require an enterprise to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.  In addition, these provisions provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  The evaluation of whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not recognition threshold requires a substantial degree of judgment by management based on the individual facts and circumstances. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company has concluded that there were no0 significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.


The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed as part of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to any open tax periods.

Stock-Based Compensation


We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") and.  ASC 505-50, Equity – Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees ("ASC 505-50").


ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in a company's financial statements. ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.
On February 16, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement that transitioned Wayne Stelmar's role within the Company from Chief Investment Officer to a non-employee consultant and non-employee director. Per the agreement, Mr. Stelmar's outstanding equity awards continued to vest in accordance with their original terms. Under ASC 505-50, if an employee becomes a non-employee and continues to vest in an award pursuant to the award's original terms, that award will be treated as an award to a non-employee prospectively, provided the individual is required to continue providing services to the employer (such as consulting services). Based on the terms and conditions of Mr. Stelmar's consulting agreement noted above, we accounted for his share-based awards in accordance with ASC 505-50 through March 31, 2018. ASC 505-50 required that these awards be accounted for prospectively, such that the fair value of the awards was re-measured at each reporting date until the earlier of (a) the performance commitment date or (b) the date the services required under the transition agreement with Mr. Stelmar have been completed. ASC 505-50 required that compensation cost ultimately recognized in the Company's financial statements be the sum of (a) the compensation cost recognized during the period of time the individual was an employee (based on the grant-date fair value) plus (b) the fair value of the award determined on the measurement date determined in accordance with ASC 505-50 for the pro-rata portion of the vesting period in which the individual was a non-employee.

In June of 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07") which expanded the scope of ASC 718 was expanded to include to include share-based payments for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, with certain exceptions.  Under ASC 718, the measurement date for equity-classified, share-based awards is generally the grant date of the award. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 on April 1, 2018, at which time Mr. Stelmar'shad one nonemployee equity award was the only nonemployee award outstanding. In accordance with the transition guidance, the Company assessed Mr. Stelmar's award for which a measurement date had not been established. The outstanding award was re-measured to fair value as of the April 1, 2018 adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 provided administrative relief by fixing the remaining unamortized expense of the award and eliminating the requirement to quarterly re-measure the Company's one remaining nonemployee award. The Company adopted this standard on a modified retrospective basis booking a cumulative-effect adjustment of an $18,000 increase to retained earnings and equal decrease to additional paid-in capital as of the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. Mr. Stelmar's awardthat was fully expensed as of March 31, 2019.

during the 2019first quarter and was accounted for in accordance with ASC 718.

Share Repurchase and Retirement

When shares are retired, the Company’s policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is determined by applying a percentage, which is determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares issued, to the balance of additional paid-in capital as of the retirement date. The residual, if any, is allocated to retained earnings as of the retirement date.

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019 March 31, 2020 and 2018,2019, the Company repurchased and retired 153,9161,233,883 and 205,240153,916 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase priceprice of $2.2 million and $1.0 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. TheAll repurchased shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company currently qualifiesCompany's status as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). ended on December 31, 2019. Section 102 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As previously disclosed and prior to the expiration of its "emerging growth company" status, the Company hashad chosen, irrevocably, to "opt out" of such extended transition period, and as a result, will complycomplied with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards iswas required for non-emerging growth companies.

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 requires organizations that lease assets (referred to as "lessees") to present lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet at their gross value based on the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASC 842, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with greater than 12 month terms. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to prior GAAP. The Company's lease agreements impacted by ASC 842 primarily relate to our corporate headquarters, other office locations and office or construction equipment where we are the lessee and are all classified as operating leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company applied the requirements of ASC 842 to its leases as of the adoption date and recognized a $3.1 million right-of-use asset and a related $3.5 million liability. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported as it was previously, under the appropriate accounting standards in effect for those periods. For additional information on our operating leases, please see Note 11.
For leases that commenced before the January 1, 2019 adoption date, the Company has elected the practical expedient package outlined in ASC 842-10-65-1(f) which prescribes the following:
1.An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases.
2.
An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (for example, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, will be classified as operating leases, and all existing leases that were classified as capital leases in accordance with ASC 840 will be classified as finance leases).
3.An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing lease.

We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from construction-related warranty and construction defect claims. Our master general liability policies which cover most of our projects allow for our warranty spend to erode our self-insured retention requirements. We establish and track separately our warranty accrual and litigation reserves for both known and IBNR construction defect claims. Our warranty accrual and litigation reserves for construction defect claims are presented on a gross basis within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements without consideration of insurance recoveries. Expected recoveries from insurance carriers are tracked separately between warranty insurance receivables and insurance receivables related to litigated claims and are presented within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Our warranty accrual and related estimated insurance recoveries are based on historical warranty claim and expense data, and expected recoveries from insurance carriers are recorded based on actual insurance claims and amounts determined using our warranty accrual estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates. Our litigation reserves for both known and IBNR future construction defect claims based on historical claim and expense data, and expected recoveries from insurance carriers are recorded based on actual insurance claims and amounts determined using our construction defect claim accrual estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual costs and related insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated.

10. Fair Value Disclosures

ASC 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date

Level 3 – Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The following table presents an estimated fair value of the Company's Notes and Credit Facility. The Notes are classified as Level 2 and primarily reflect estimated prices obtained from outside pricing sources. The Company's Credit Facility is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company had an outstanding balance of $66.0 million under its Credit Facility at June 30, 2019, and the estimated fair value of the outstanding balance approximated the carrying value due to the short-term nature of LIBOR contracts.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Adjustments

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities include items such as real estate inventory and long-lived assets that are measured at cost when acquired and adjusted for impairment to fair value, if deemed necessary. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment to its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.3 million and $0, respectively. The 2020 impairment related to our agreement in principle to sell our interest in our Bedford joint venture to our partner.  We are currently in the process of drafting definitive agreements associated with our exit from the joint venture and the sale of our interest for less than its current carrying value. This transaction is expected to close around the end of the 2020second quarter.  The impairment adjustment was made using Level 2 inputs and assumptions. For more information on the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures impairment, please refer to Note 6.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature that we believe are normal and incidental to a homebuilder. We make provisions for loss contingencies when they are probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. During 2019, we recorded litigation reserves totaling $5.9 million related to ordinary course litigation which developed and became probable and estimable within the 2019fourth quarter. Further, as a result of the development of the construction defect related claims within the litigation reserve and their impact to the Company’s litigation reserve estimates for IBNR future construction defect claims, we recorded an additional $5.0 million of IBNR construction defect claim reserves resulting in aggregate litigation reserves totaling $10.9 million as of December 31, 2019. Because the self-insured retention deductibles had been met for each claim covered by the $5.9 million reserve, and the self-insured retention deductibles are expected to be met for the $5.0 million IBNR construction defect claim reserves, the Company recorded estimated insurance receivables of $10.9 million offsetting the related litigation reserves as of December 31, 2019.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $4.2 million was paid by insurance related to one claim and the Company also reduced its litigation reserve estimate by $0.2 million for a separate claim, resulting in a litigation reserve and insurance receivable balance of $6.5 million at March 31, 2020.  Due to the inherent uncertainty and judgement used in these assumptions, our actual costs and related insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated. Please refer to Note 1 and Note 8 for more information on litigation reserves for construction defect claims.  In view of the inherent unpredictability of litigation, we generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. At this time, we do not believe that our loss contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, are material to our consolidated financial statements.

As an owner and developer of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of real estate in the vicinity of the Company’s real estate and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the real estate could result in future environmental liabilities.

The Company has provided credit enhancements in connection with joint venture borrowings in the form of LTV maintenance agreements in order to secure the joint venture's performance under the loans and maintenance of certain LTV ratios. The Company has also entered into agreements with its partners in each of the unconsolidated joint ventures whereby the Company and its partners are apportioned liability under the LTV maintenance agreements according to their respective capital interest. In addition, the agreements provide the Company, to the extent its partner has an unpaid liability under such credit enhancements, the right to receive distributions from the unconsolidated joint venture that would otherwise be made to the partner. However, there is no guarantee that such distributions will be made or will be sufficient to cover the Company's liability under such LTV maintenance agreements. The loans underlying the LTV maintenance agreements compriseinclude acquisition and development loans, construction revolvers and model home loans, and the agreements remain in force until the loans are satisfied. Due to the nature of the loans, the outstanding balance at any given time is subject to a number of factors including the status of site improvements, the mix of horizontal and vertical development underway, the timing of phase build outs, and the period necessary to complete the escrow process for homebuyers. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, $24.42019, $21.9 million and $41.3$28.6 million, respectively, was outstanding under loans that are credit enhanced by the Company through LTV maintenance agreements. Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company's proportionate share of LTV maintenance agreement liabilities was $4.9 $4.4 million and $7.3$5.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018. 2019.

In addition, the Company has provided completion agreements regarding specific performance for certain projects whereby the Company is required to complete the given project with funds provided by the beneficiary of the agreement. If there are not adequate funds available under the specific project loans, the Company would then be subject to financial liability under such completion agreements. Typically, under such terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company has the right to apportion the respective share of any costs funded under such completion agreements to its partners. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to recover against our partners for such amounts owed to us under the terms of such joint venture agreements. In connection with joint venture borrowings, the Company also selectively provides (a) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (b) indemnification of the lender from "bad boy acts" of

We used the "simplified method" to establish the expected term of the common stock options granted by the Company. Our restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards are valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The number of performance share units that willwould vest rangesranged from 50%-150% of the target amount awarded based on actual cumulative earnings per share and return on equity growth from 2018-2019,2018-2019, subject to initial achievement of minimum thresholds. We evaluateevaluated the probability of achieving the performance targets established under each of the outstanding performance share unit awards quarterly during 2018and estimate2019 and estimated the number of underlying units that arewere probable of being issued. Compensation expense for restricted stock unit and performance share unit awards iswas being recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period, subject to cumulative catch-up adjustments required as a result of changes in the number shares probable of being issued for performance share unit awards.  At June 30, 2019, the probability of achieving the performance targets associated with the outstanding performance share unit awards was estimated to be 0%. Forfeitures are recognized in compensation cost during the period that the award forfeiture occurs.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage and ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total interest incurred are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage is calculated as a percentage of total revenue. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, interest costs, tax position, inventory impairments and other non-recurring items. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operations or any other performance measure prescribed by GAAP. The table below reconciles net income (loss),loss, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA.

Overview

The 2020 first quarter was an unprecedented time for our nation and industry. While the Company is finding ways to continue its operations in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, our first order of business remains the health and safety of our employees, trade partners and home buyers. The Company has been vigilant in its response to the virus' outbreak and has implemented policies and practices that adhere to the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and government and public health agencies to combat its spread. Although the road ahead is uncertain, we remain confident in the resiliency of our industry and the talented people of our organization to adjust to this new reality. 

While the Company experienced a successful start to the year, demand trends softened in March as we began to experience the negative impact stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Year-over-year orders for January and February increased 32% and 82%, respectively, before declining 28% for the trailing 12 months.






Overview

Duringmonth of March. However, net new orders were up 18% overall for the 2019 secondfirst quarter, the Company enjoyed both top and bottom-line growth and made significant progress towards reducing our leverage and strengthening our balance sheet. Home sales revenue increased 20% year-over-year from 56% more home deliveries,as lower interest rates continued to spur buyer demand, and our pretax income was up meaningfully over the prior year at $2.6 million versus $0.2 million. In addition, we repurchased $7.0 million of senior notesaverage selling communities increased 5%. We opened three new communities during the 2020 first quarter, one of which when combined with a net $18.0 million pay down ofwas within our revolving credit facility, contributed to a 240 basis point sequential decrease inentry level category and offered base pricing under $400,000, and the other two communities within our net debt-to-capital ratio to 57.7%*.

We experienced solid sequential improvement insecond move-up category. Demand during the 2020 first quarter was strongest at our sales absorption pace across all markets, withmore affordable, entry level communities where the 2019 second quarter monthly absorption rate up 41% overincreased to 2.7 for the 2019 first quarter at 2.4 sales per community, resulting in a 38% sequential increase in net new orders. We also continuedcompared to recognize benefits from our strategic repositioningthe Company average of 2.0. The shift to more affordable product as sales from these communities represented a higher proportion ofwith quicker build cycles and shorter backlog periods drove our 2019 second quarter net new orders and an absorption pace higher than the companywide average.

Net income attributablebacklog conversion rate to the Company72% for the 2019 second2020 first quarter was $1.6as compared to 52% in the prior year period which contributed to an 8% increase in new homes delivered. However, home sales revenue decreased 4% due to an 11% decrease in average selling price, which is a result of the Company’s strategic shift to more affordable product.

Total revenues for the 2020 first quarter were $132.0 million as compared to $118.8 million in the prior year period. The Company reported a net loss of $8.5 million, or $0.08($0.42) per diluted share for the 2020 first quarter, compared to $0.1a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.01($0.10) per diluted share in the prior year period. The higher year-over-year increase in net incomeloss was primarily attributable to a 20% increase$14.0 million pretax project abandonment charge and a $2.3 million impairment charge related to the anticipated sale of our membership interest in homebuilding revenue, a 200 basis point improvement in our SG&A rate, a $0.3 million increase inland development joint venture income,in Southern California that is expected to be finalized and a $0.6 million gain on early extinguishment of debt.closed in the 2020 second quarter. These itemscosts were partially offset by a 50210 basis point declineimprovement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales gross marginsrevenue and a lower fee building gross margin due$9.3 million increase in income tax benefit. Adjusted net loss for the 2020 first quarter was $1.1 million* or ($0.05)* per diluted share, compared to lower fee construction activity.


We continue to take steps to lower our cost structure, strengthen our balance sheet, pursue opportunities to reduce our leverage and thoughtfully allocate resources to best positionan adjusted net loss of $0.8 million*, or ($0.04)* per diluted share for the Company for long-term success. 2019 first quarter.

The Company generated $17.3 million in operating cash flows during the 2020 first quarter and ended the quarter with $48.2$87.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $375.1 million in debt, of which $66.0 million wasno borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2019facility, and $300.5 million in senior notes which mature on April 1, 2022.  At March 31, 2020, the Company'sCompany had a debt-to-capital ratio was 61.1%of 57.5% and itsa net debt-to-capital ratio was 57.7%of 48.8%*,.  During the 2020 first quarter, the Company repurchased and retired $4.8 million of its 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 and recognized a 240 basis point sequential improvement$0.1 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Also during the 2020 first quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 1,233,883 shares of common stock under a previously announced stock repurchase program for $2.2 million, or $1.80 per share, through open market purchases, a privately negotiated transaction and a 10b5-1 plan.  Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased an additional 777,300 shares for $1.4 million pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which in the aggregate since the beginning of the year through May 7, 2020 represented a total repurchase of 2,011,183 shares for $3.6 million, or $1.78 per share, and 10% of its beginning share count.  The Company's stock repurchase program had a remaining purchase authorization of $1.8 million as of May 7, 2020, subject to debt covenant restrictions under its revolving credit facility.   

In response to the economic impact resulting from the 2019 first quarter.


COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken steps to preserve capital by implementing additional cost cutting measures, curtailing the acquisition and development of land and renegotiation lot takedown arrangements. The Company has also made strategic decision to walk away from some projects altogether, which will unburden us from substantial additional capital outlays in the future and will provide us with tax refunds with the opening up of NOL carrybacks with the passage of the CARES Act. We believe these actions are in the Company’s best interest in light of current market conditions and recent tax law changes.

(1) Monthly sales absorption represents the number of net new home orders divided by the number of average selling communities for the period.

Net new home orders for the 2019 second2020first quarter decreased 21%increased 18% primarily as the result of a 25% decline in the monthly sales absorption rate. The decrease in monthly absorption rates was due to weaker buyer demand compared to the prior year, however, the 2019 second quarter monthly sales absorption pace improved 41% sequentially over the 2019 first quarter. A 10% year-over-yearan 18% increase in average selling communities partially offset the slower sales pace in the 2019 second quarter, however, community closeouts late in the 2019 second quarter resulted in an ending community count of 20, flat with the prior year.


Demand for the 2019 second quarter was strongest in Southern California with a monthly absorption rate of 2.5 driven by stronger order activity at more affordably priced communities, including a high number of initial sales at a new community of attached court homes located within the Inland Empire. Overall, the Southern California market has experienced a slowdown compared to the prior year due to a run up in home prices and a decrease in demand from foreign national buyers, which contributed to our 19% year-over-year decrease in monthly sales pace in this market. Additionally, the Company's Southern California monthly absorption rate benefited during the 2018 second quarter from two newly-opened communities that experienced solid initial order activity. Northern California experienced a 38% decline in its monthly sales absorption rate for the 2019 second quarter primarily related to slower demand at our Bay Area communities due to buyer affordability constraints and because sale pace was strongest in this region in the 2018 second quarter.



Net new home orders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased 21% as compared to the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of a 33% decline in the monthly sales absorption rate compared to the 2019first quarter. The increase in net orders and the monthly absorption rate was largely due to weakerstronger buyer demand. A 16% increasedemand driven by lower interest rates. However, the 2020 first quarter monthly absorption pace slightly decreased 9% sequentially over the 2019 fourth quarter due to a slower absorption pace in average selling communities partially offsetMarch 2020 as a result of slower sales activity from less sales traffic caused by the slowerstay-at-home measures implemented related to COVID-19. Our ending community count for the 2020 first quarter was 22, flat with the prior year, due to community closeouts late in the 2020 first quarter. 

Demand was strongest during the 2020first quarter for our more-affordable, entry-level product, which averaged a monthly sales pace of 2.7 per community compared to a total of 2.0 per community for the company wide average. The 2020 monthly sales pace for the for the six months ended June 30, 2019.


During the six months ended June 30, 2019, monthly sales absorptionour entry-level product was strongest inled by an existing Northern California at 2.2 monthly sales permasterplan community driven byin Vacaville and a popular community of paired homes in Rancho Mission Viejo in Southern California. The 2020 first quarter also benefited from strong order activity at three affordably-priced communities located within masterplan developments. However, the 39% decreasevolume from a newly opened single family detached community in Northern California's monthly absorption rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from the same period in 2018 was the largest of the divisions due to lack of affordability and strong sales experienced in the first half of 2018 from two Bay Area townhome communities, one ofRancho Mission Viejo, which sold out its first phase during its opening weeks. However, these increases were partially offset by a slower monthly sales pace in Arizona primarily due to the closeout of our Belmont community in Gilbert during the prior year period. The decrease in Southern California year-to-date absorption rates during2020 first quarter.

Partially offsetting the first half of 2019 compared to 2018 was attributable to the overall run up in home prices and a slowdown in demand from foreign national buyers in the market, and the high initial orders in the prior year from two communities that opened during the first half of 2018, as noted above.


Also impacting the declineyear-over-year increase in net new home orders was thean increase in the Company's cancellation rate to 16% for the 2019 second2020 first quarter, as compared to 11% from 6%12% for the 2018 second quarter. The cancellation rate forsame period in 2019. Over half of the six months ended June 30, 2019 was also up to 12% from 6% in the comparable prior year period. Our cancellation rate has increased moderately with our transition to more affordably-priced product where buyers are often times more credit challenged than a luxury or move-up buyer. Of the communities that openedcancellations during the last twelve months ended June 30, 2019, five offer base pricing2020 first quarter occurred during the month of $600,000 or less.

Backlog reflects the number of homes, net of cancellations, for which we have entered into sales contracts with customers, but for which we have not yet delivered the homes. The number of homes in backlog as of  June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was down 33% as15% compared to the prior year period primarily due to a lower number of beginning backlog units and a higher quarterly backlog conversion rate of 74% for the 2019 second quarter compared to 46% for the 2018 second quarter and a 21% decrease in net orders resulting from a slower sales pace due to weaker year-over-year demand.2020 first quarter.  The increase in the conversion rate to 72% for the 2020 first quarter as compared to 52% in the prior year period resulted primarily from the Company's moveshift to more affordably priced product, which generally has quicker build cycles as well as the Company's success in selling and delivering a higher levelshorter backlog periods. The number of spec homes that accompany these communities. Thedeliveries for the 2020 first quarter remained flat at 33% compared to the 2019 first quarter. Backlog dollar value ofdecreased 39% due to the fewer homes in backlog at the end of the 2019 second2020 first quarter, was down 31% year-over-yearas well as the 28% decrease in average selling price as the prior year backlog included homes from higher priced communities that have since closed out and as the Company continues its transition to $201.6 million due tomore-affordable product. 

Notwithstanding the loweroverall decrease in backlog units at March 31, 2020, Northern California had a 24% increase in the number of homes in backlog, which is attributed to a 51% increase in net new home orders during the 2020 first quarter from the growth in Northern California average selling communities. The increase in Northern California backlog units slightlywas offset by a 3%small decrease in backlog dollar value as the division's community growth has been concentrated within the more affordable Sacramento region. The 24% decline in Southern California ending backlog units at March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of a higher backlog conversion rate and a lower beginning backlog for the 2020 first quarter. The shift in Southern California to more affordable product with quick build cycles drove the year-over-year increase in backlog conversion rate and the decrease in average selling price of thebacklog. Average selling price of homes in backlog.


backlog at March 31, 2020 decreased the most in Southern California, as orders increased from communities located in the more affordable Inland Empire as compared to the prior year where backlog units were concentrated in higher-priced communities in Orange County and Los Angeles. The year-over-year decrease in backlog units and dollar value was greatest in Northern California where the decrease in net new orders from the 2019 and 2018 second quarters was also the largest of the divisions. The number of backlog units declined due to a lower number of homes in beginning backlog and a reduction in net new orders. Backlog value in Northern California decreased due to the lower number of homes in backlog, coupled with fewer homes in backlog with average selling prices over $1.0 million. Southern California ending backlog units at June 30, 2019 decreasedArizona, primarily due to the 2019 second quarter backlog conversation rateclose-out of 105% compared to 64%our Gilbert, Arizona community which had little inventory available in the 2018 second quarterlater part of 2019. The increase in Arizona average selling price of backlog was up due to the number of spec homes sold and delivered during the quarter, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in net new orders. The mix of homes in backlog in Southern California at June 30, 2019 shifted fromMarch 31, 2020.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we could experience higher cancellation rates compared to prior year and resulted in a 5% increase in theperiods related to homes within our backlog average selling price driven largely by homes at a luxury community in south Orange County that opened in the third quarteras of 2018 where the average price of homes in backlog exceeds $2.0 million. Our Arizona operations became a larger component of the Company's ending backlog for the 2019 second quarter with increased orders primarily from our successful Belmont community in Gilbert, Arizona that opened in the 2018 second quarter and commenced deliveries in the 2019 first quarter.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin (or homebuilding gross margin before interest in cost of homehomes sales) is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure isolates the impact that leverage has on homebuilding gross margin. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolatesallows investors to evaluate metrics of our ongoing homebuilding operations without the impact that leverage and our cost of debt capital has on homebuilding gross margininterest costs and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

Our fee building revenues include (i) billings to third-party land owners for general contracting services and (ii) management fees from our unconsolidated joint ventures and third-party land owners for construction and sales management services. Cost of fee building includes (i) labor, subcontractor, and other indirect construction and development costs that are reimbursable by the land owner and (ii) general and administrative, or G&A, expenses that are attributable to fee building activities and joint venture management overhead. Besides allocable G&A expenses, there are no other material costs associated with management fees from our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Billings to land owners for general contracting services are a function of construction activity and reimbursable costs are incurred generally once home construction begins. The total billings and reimbursable costs are driven by the pace at which the land owner executes its development plan. Management fees from our unconsolidated joint ventures are collected over the underlying project's life and as homes and lots are delivered. Construction management fees from third-party customers are collected over the life of the contract and sales management fees from third-party customers are collected as homes close escrow.

The 200210 basis point decreaseimprovement was primarily due to improved leverage from higher home sales revenue, reduced marketing and advertising spend as compared to the 2018 second quarter and to a lesser extent, lower personnel expenses. These items were partially offset by higher amortization of capitalized selling and marketing costs related to the opening of certain higher-end model homes in late 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our SG&A rate as a percentage of home sales revenue was 13.2%, down 110 basis points from the comparable prior year period. The 2019 period included $1.8 million in pretax severance charges taken in the 2019 first quarter related to right-sizing our operations by reducing headcount, including the departure of one of our executive officers. Excluding these charges in the prior year quarter, the Company's SG&A rate for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 first quarter was 12.4%14.1% as compared to 14.3%14.4% in the prior year period. The 19030 basis point decreaseimprovement was primarily due to improved leverage from higher home sales revenue, a year-over-year reduction in marketing and advertising spend, and to a lesser extent, lower personnel expenses. Offsetting these items were higher amortization of capitalized selling and marketing costs, discussed above. which was partially offset by a reduction in G&A expenses allocated to fee building cost of sales during the 2020 first quarter.

SG&A excluding severance charges as a percentage of home sales revenue is a non-GAAP measure. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenue, the nearest GAAP equivalent. We believe removing the impact of these charges from our SG&A rate is relevant to provide investors with a better comparison to rates that do not include these charges.

Land sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $7.0 million of revenues related to the sale of a mixed use building sold by a homebuilding joint venture.

Interest Expense

For the 2020 first quarter, we expensed $0.7 million of interest costs related to the portion of our debt in excess of our qualified assets in accordance with ASC 835, Interest.  To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified inventory in the future, we will expense a portion of the interest related to such debt.

Project Abandonment Costs

During the 2020 first quarter, the Company terminated its option agreement for a luxury condominium project in Scottsdale, Arizona due to lower demand levels experienced at this community, substantial investment required to build out the remainder of the project, uncertainty associated with the economic impacts of COVID-19, and the opportunity to recognize a tax benefit from the resulting net operating loss carrybacks. As a result of this strategic decision to forgo developing the balance of the property, we recorded a project abandonment charge of $14.0 million related to the capitalized costs, including interest, associated with the portion of the project that was abandoned.

Provision/Benefit for Income Taxes


For the 2019 second quarter, the Company recorded a $1.0 million provision for income taxes compared to $0.1 million provision for the 2018 second quarter. For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provisionbenefit of $0.3$9.9 million compared to an $0.8and $0.7 million, benefitrespectively.  The Company's effective tax rate for the prior year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020, differs from the federal statutory rate due to discrete items, state income tax rates and tax credits for energy efficient homes.  The 2020 first quarter discrete items totaled an $8.1 million benefit, $5.8 million of which related to the $14.0 million project abandonment noncash charge recorded during the quarter and a $2.1 million benefit related to the revaluation of our deferred tax asset stemming from the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act allows companies to carry back net operating losses generated in 2018 through 2020 for five years.  The Company recognized a $2.1 million discrete benefit related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets originally valued at a 21% federal statutory tax rate which are now available to be carried back to tax years with a 35% federal statutory rate.  The Company's effective tax rate was 38.0% and 36.8%, respectively, with for the rate increase attributablethree months ended March 31, 2019 differs from the federal statutory tax rates due to the impact of expectedstate income taxes, estimated deduction limitations had on each period. The tax rates for the six month periods were impacted byexecutive compensation and discrete items. The Company recorded aprovision for discrete items totaled $0.3 million discrete provision infor the first sixthree months ofended March 31, 2019 and was primarily related to stock compensation and state income tax rate changes while a $0.4 million discrete benefit was takenchanges. 

The CARES Act includes various income and payroll tax provisions that we are in the comparable 2018 period primarilyprocess of analyzing to determine the financial impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Aside from the carry back provision discussed above, the Company does not believe any other aspects of the CARES Act were material to the Company's benefit for income taxes during the 2020 first quarter. 

Trends and Uncertainties

On March 11, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic.  There is uncertainty regarding the impact and the duration of disruption that the COVID-19 outbreak and related containment and economic relief efforts will have on the economy, capital markets, consumer confidence, buyer demand for homes and availability of mortgage lending.  The magnitude to energy credits.which these factors will impact our business and results of operations is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. 

While the 2020 first quarter started out strong with year-over-year increases in net new orders for January and February, the market began to soften during the latter part of March stemming from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  As a result of current challenging economic conditions that began to impact our business in mid-March, our reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not reflective of current market conditions.  The decline in homebuyer demand continued into April as stay-at-home and shelter-in-place mandates remain in place and general economic uncertainty has negatively impacted consumer confidence.  The Company has also experienced an increase in order cancellations in late March and April compared to historical cancellation rates.  It is unclear how long these adverse conditions will persist or how they will impact our future results.  Our results of operations may be affected by changes in economic conditions that negatively impact the housing and financial services markets.

The health and safety of our employees remains our primary focus during this pandemic.  We have implemented the following actions in response to the pandemic: several health and safety protocols to protect our employees, trade partners and customers as required by state and local government agencies and taking into consideration the CDC and other public health authorities’ guidelines.  Residential construction has been designated as an essential business as part of critical infrastructure in most jurisdictions in which we operate, and we are continuing our homebuilding operations at our jobsites with appropriate safety measures in place.  Our model home sales offices are closed to the public and our sales operations have shifted to an appointment-only home sales process with a focus on virtual sales tools to connect with our customers online.  Our customer care warranty activities are limited to emergency-only work orders to limit public contact.  Finally, our corporate and divisional office employees have moved to a work-from-home model subject to limited exceptions to maintain minimum basic operations.    

52

While all of the above-referenced steps are necessary and appropriate in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, they do impact our ability to operate our business in its ordinary and traditional course. These actions, combined with a reduction in the availability, capacity, and efficiency of municipal and private services necessary to progress land development, homebuilding, mortgage loan originations, and home sales, which in each case has varied by market depending on the scope of the restrictions local authorities have established, have tempered our sales pace and delayed home construction and deliveries in the latter part of March and through the date of this report.  The potential magnitude or duration of the business, operational and economic impacts from the unprecedented public health effort to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19 are uncertain and include, among other things, significant volatility in financial markets and a sharp decrease in the value of equity securities, including our common stock. In addition, we can provide no assurance as to whether the COVID-19 public health effort will be intensified to such an extent that we will not be able to conduct any business operations in certain of our served markets or at all for an indefinite period.

In response to the current economic uncertainty, the Company has taken steps to preserve capital by implementing additional cost cutting measures, curtailing the acquisition and development of land, renegotiating lot takedown arrangements and limiting the number of speculative homes under construction.  Additionally, the decision was made to walk away from further development at a wholly owned community in Scottsdale, Arizona resulting in a $14.0 million project abandonment charge during the 2020 first quarter and to agree in principle to exit a land development joint venture in Southern California which resulted in a $2.3 million other-than-temporary impairment charge in the quarter.  By not continuing with these projects, the Company will avoid significant capital outlays and help preserve capital for the future, as well as receive a cash payment of approximately $5.1 million in the case of our joint venture exit.    

Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided below under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

We will continue to closely monitor any updates from the CDC and guidance from federal and local and government and public health agencies and adjust our operations accordingly.   While we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, an extended economic slowdown in the U.S. could materially impact our results of operations in fiscal 2020 and potentially beyond.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of capital for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were cash generated from home sales activities, borrowing from our credit facility, distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures, and management fees from our fee building agreements. Our principal uses of capital for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were land purchases, land development, home construction, contributions and advances to our unconsolidated joint ventures, repurchases of the Company's common stock and bonds, paydowns on our credit facility, and payment of operating expenses, interest and routine liabilities.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on their stage in the development cycle, and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, and construction of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our real estate inventories and not recognized in our consolidated statement of operations until a home is delivered, we incur significant cash outlays prior to our recognition of earnings. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflows associated with home and land construction were previously incurred. From a liquidity standpoint, we are activelygenerally active in acquiring and developing lots to maintain or grow our lot supply and community count. As we expand our business, weWe expect cash outlays for land purchases, land development and home construction at times to exceed cash generated by operations. We are currently focused on reducing our debt levels and leverage and are reducing spend in response to the economic uncertainty produced by the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore expect to spend less on land purchases than we have over the last few years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $17.3 million.  We ended the secondfirst quarter of 20192020 with $48.2$87.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, a $6.0an $8.5 million increase from December 31, 2018. Over the next few quarters2019Generally, we expectintend to generate cash from the sale of our inventory, including unsold and presold homes under construction as well as land sales. Aftercontinue reducing our debt and leverage levels within our target range, we intendnet leverage ranges in the near term, and then to deploy a portion of cash generated from the sale of inventory to acquire and develop strategic, well-positioned lots that represent opportunities to generate future income and cash flows.  However, the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our ability to generate cash flows by allocating capitalfrom operations which may limit our debt reduction and land acquisition efforts in the near to best position the Company for long-term success.

mid-term. 

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had $5.6had $10.6 million and $8.5$9.6 million, respectively, in accounts payable that related to costs incurred under our fee building agreements. Funding to pay these amountsamounts is the obligation of the third-party land owner, which is generally funded on a monthly basis. Similarly, contracts and accounts receivable and due from affiliates as of the same dates included $6.3 million $11.6 million and $8.8$10.4 million, respectively, related to the payment of the above payables.

We intend to utilize both debt and equity as part of our ongoing financing strategy, coupled with redeployment of cash flows from continuing operations, to operate our business. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $313.0 millionof $303.3 million in aggregate principal related to our Senior Notes due 2022 and $66.0 million related tono borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our assets and the ability of particular assets, and our Company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service. In addition, our debt contains certain financial covenants, among others, that limit the amount of leverage we can maintain.

maintain, and minimum tangible net worth and liquidity requirements.

We intend to finance future acquisitions and developments with what we believe to be the most advantageous source of capital available to us at the time of the transaction, which may include unsecured corporate level debt, property-level debt, and other public, private or bank debt, seller land banking arrangements, or common and preferred equity.




While the COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation efforts have created significant uncertainty as to general economic and housing market conditions for the remainder of 2020 and beyond, we believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available from our revolving line of credit or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity capital will be available or on acceptable terms, especially in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Senior Notes Due 2022

On March 17, 2017, the Company completed the sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the "Existing Notes"), in a private placement. The Notes were issued at an offering price of 98.961% of their face amount, which represented a yield to maturity of 7.50%. On May 4, 2017, the Company completed a tack-on private placement offering through the sale of an additional $75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 ("Additional Notes"). The Additional Notes were issued at an offering price of 102.75% of their face amount plus accrued interest since March 17, 2017, which represented a yield to maturity of 6.438%. Net proceeds from the Existing Notes were used to repay all borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility with the remainder used for general corporate purposes. Net proceeds from the Additional Notes were used for working capital, land acquisition and general corporate purposes. Interest on the Existing Notes and the Additional Notes (together, the "Notes") is payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The maturity date of the Notes is April 1, 2022. The Notes were exchanged in an exchange offer for Notes that are identical to the original Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are freely tradeable in accordance with applicable law. During the first half of 2019,three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $12.0$4.8 million of the Notes at 90.58%101.63% of face value reducing the outstanding aggregate principal amount to $313.0$303.3 million.

The Company is entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on and after October 1, 2019, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12 or 6 month period, as applicable, commencing on each of the dates set forth below:

PeriodRedemption Price
October 1, 2019103.625%
October 1, 2020101.813%
April 1, 2020100.000%

The Notes contain certain restrictive covenants, including a limitation on additional indebtedness and a limitation on restricted payments. Restricted payments include, among other things, dividends, investments in unconsolidated entities, and stock repurchases. Under the limitation on additional indebtedness, we are permitted to incur specified categories of indebtedness but are prohibited, aside from those exceptions, from incurring further indebtedness if we do not satisfy either a leverage condition or an interest coverage condition. The leverage and interest coverage conditions are summarized in the table below, as described and defined further in the indenture for the Notes. Exceptions to the additional indebtedness limitation include, among other things, borrowings of up to $260 million under existing or future bank credit facilities, non-recourse indebtedness, and indebtedness incurred for the purpose of refinancing or repaying certain existing indebtedness. Under the limitation on restricted payments, we are also prohibited from making restricted payments, aside from certain exceptions, if we do not satisfy either condition. In addition, the amount of restricted payments that we can make is subject to an overall basket limitation, which builds based on, among other things, 50% of consolidated net income from January 1, 2017 forward and 100% of the net cash proceeds from qualified equity offerings. Exceptions to the foregoing limitations on our ability to make restricted payments include, among other things, investments in joint ventures and other investments up to 15% of our consolidated tangible net assets and a general basket of $15 million. The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries, for more information about these guarantees, please see Note 17 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Credit Facility previously applied an "adjusted leverage ratio" test computed as total joint venture debt divided by total joint venture equity. This covenant ceased to apply as of September 30, 2017 because our consolidated tangible net worth exceeded $250 million in that quarter. Once the adjusted leverage ratio ceased to apply, consolidated tangible net worth is reduced by an adjustment equal to the aggregate amount of investments in and advanceadvances to unconsolidated joint ventures that exceed 35% of consolidated tangible net worth as calculated without giving effect to this adjustment (the "Adjustment Amount"). The Adjustment Amount was considered in the calculation of consolidated tangible net worth.

The Credit Facility also contains a limit on secured indebtedness of $55 million, as well as certain restrictive covenants including limitations on incurrence of liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions and investments in entities that are not guarantors, and limitations on fundamental changes. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitments and permit the Lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings and require cash collateralization of letters of credit. These events of default include 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; change in control; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events.  As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Credit Facility.

Stock Repurchase Program

On May 10, 2018, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of the Company's common stock with an aggregate value of up to $15 million. Repurchases of the Company's common stock may be made in open-market transactions, effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount or number of shares of common stock, and it may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing and amount of repurchases are determined byby the Company’s management at its discretion and be based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of the Company’s common stock, corporate and contractual requirements, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. ForDuring the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company repurchased and retired 1,233,883 and 153,916 shares totalingof its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $2.2 million and $1.0 million.million, respectively.  Purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were made in open market transactions, a privately negotiated transaction, and pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had repurchased and retired in aggregate 1,157,0322,390,915 shares totaling $9.6$11.8 million and had remaining authorization to purchase $5.4 million$3.2 million of common shares.




Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased an additional 777,300 shares for $1.4 million pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which in the aggregate since the beginning of the year through May 7, 2020 represented a total repurchase of 2,011,183 shares for $3.6 million, or $1.78 per share, and 10% of its beginning share count.  As of May 7, 2020, the Repurchase Program had remaining purchase authorization of $1.8 million.  

Debt-to-Capital Ratios

We believe that debt-to-capital ratios provide useful information to the users of our financial statements regarding our financial position and leverage. Net debt-to-capital ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to debt-to-capital ratio, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs by total capital (the sum of total debt, net of unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs plus equity), exclusive of non-controlling interest.

The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital, exclusive of non-controlling interest. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt-to-capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio net of cash provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered. Investors may also find this to be helpful when comparing our leverage to the leverage of our competitors that present similar information.

Cash Flows — SixThree Months Ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 Compared to SixThree Months Ended June 30, 2018

March 31, 2019

For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 versus net cash used in operating activities of $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The year-over-year change was primarily a result of a net increase in cash inflow related to the reduction in real estate inventories to $25.0 million for the 2019 period as compared to an outflow of $53.1 million for the 2018 period. The change in real estate inventories cash flow was driven by the year-over-year increase in proceeds from home sales in the first half of 2019, and a decrease in land acquisition and development spend.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures were $0.8 million compared to net contributions and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net distributions for the 2019 period was primarily due to a $3.1 million year-over-year reduction in joint venture contributions to one land development joint venture in Northern California.
Net cash used in financing activities was $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 versus $32.0 million of net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The outflow in 2019 reflects $10.9 million of cash paid to repurchase and retire our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 as well as a net pay down on our credit facility of $1.5 million compared to net borrowings of $35 million in the prior year.


Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The year-over-year change was primarily a result of a net increase in cash inflow related to the reduction in real estate inventories of $27.1 million for the 2020 period as compared to $9.7 million for the 2019 period. The change in real estate inventories cash flow was primarily driven by the year-over-year decrease in land acquisition and development spend and reduction in construction in progress spend during the 2020 period. Additionally, noncash project abandonment costs of $14.0 million and a $2.3 million noncash impairment to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated joint venture were recorded during the 2020 first quarter. The increase in cash inflow was partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in net loss.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1.2 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net contributions and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures were $1.0 million compared to net distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net contributions for the 2020 first quarter was primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in joint venture distributions from our Avanti and Mountain Shadows joint ventures and an increase in joint venture contributions to one land development joint venture in Northern California.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $10.5 million of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The year-over-year reduction of cash inflow is primarily related to net borrowings from the Company's credit facility of $16.5 million in the prior year period. Additionally, the outflow in 2020 reflects $4.8 million of cash paid to repurchase and retire our Notes and $2.2 million for the repurchase of the Company's common stock compared to $4.5 million of Note repurchases and $1.0 million of common stock repurchases in the prior year period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations


Option Contracts

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements. We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and financial intermediaries as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources, and to enhance our return on capital. Option contracts generally require a nonrefundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller or financial intermediary. In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence and development activities with respect to our optionoption contracts prior to purchase which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $15.3$13.6 million of nonrefundable and $0.7 million$0.1 million of refundable cash deposits pertaining to land option contracts and purchase contracts with an estimated aggregate remaining purchase price of $118.1of $86.0 million, net of deposits. These cash deposits are included as a component of our real estate inventories in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.


Joint Ventures

We enter into land development and homebuilding joint ventures from time to time as means of:

leveraging our capital base

accessing larger lot positions

expanding our market opportunities

managing financial and market risk associated with land holdings

57

leveraging our capital base
accessing larger lot positions
expanding our market opportunities
managing financial and market risk associated with land holdings

These joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and/or construction financing which reduces the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.

We are subject to certain contingent obligations in connection with our unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company has provided credit enhancements in connection with joint venture borrowings in the form of loan-to-value ("LTV") maintenance agreements in order to secure the joint venture's performance under the loans and maintenance of certain LTV ratios. The Company has also entered into agreements with its partners in each of the unconsolidated joint ventures whereby the Company and its partners are apportioned liability under the LTV maintenance agreements according to their respective capital interest. In addition, the agreements provide the Company, to the extent its partner has an unpaid liability under such credit enhancements, the right to receive distributions from the unconsolidated joint venture that would otherwise be made to the partner. However, there is no guarantee that such distributions will be made or will be sufficient to cover the Company's liability under such LTV maintenance agreements. The loans underlying the LTV maintenance agreements compriseinclude acquisition and development loans, construction revolvers and model home loans, and the agreements remain in force until the loans are satisfied. Due to the nature of the loans, the outstanding balance at any given time is subject to a number of factors including the status of site improvements, thethe mix of horizontal and vertical development underway, the timing of phase build outs, and the period necessary to complete the escrow process for homebuyers. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, $24.42019, $21.9 million and $41.3$28.6 million, respectively, was outstanding under loans that are credit enhanced by the Company through LTV maintenance agreements. Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company's proportionate share of LTV maintenance agreement liabilities was $4.9$4.4 million and $7.3$5.8 million as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

In addition, the Company has provided completion agreements regarding specific performance for certain projects whereby the Company is required to complete the given project with funds provided by the beneficiary of the agreement. If there are not adequate funds available under the specific project loans, the Company would then be subject to financial liability under such completion guaranties. Typically, under such terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company has the right to apportion the respective share of any costs funded under such completion guaranties to its partners. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to recover against our partners for such amounts owed to us under the terms of such joint venture agreements. In connection with joint venture borrowings, the Company also selectively provides (a) an environmental indemnity provided to



the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (b) indemnification of the lender from customary "bad boy acts" of the unconsolidated entity such as fraud, misrepresentation, misapplication or non-payment of rents, profits, insurance, and condemnation proceeds, waste and mechanic liens, and bankruptcy. Additionally, in some cases, under our joint venture agreements, our shares of profits and losses may beare greater than our contribution percentage.

For more information about our off-balance sheet arrangements, please see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we held membership interests in 10 unconsolidated joint ventures, six of which related to homebuilding activities and four related to land development as noted below. Of the 10 joint ventures, sixfive have active homebuilding or land development activities ongoing and the balance are effectively inactive with only limited warranty activities. We were a party to two loan-to-value maintenance agreements related to unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

The Company's share of capital contributions for certain improvements in the aggregate amount of approximately $26 million is 50%.

(8)The Company has agreed in principle to sell our interest in this joint venture to our partner, and we are currently in the process of drafting definitive agreements associated with our exit from the joint venture and the sale of our interest. This transaction is expected to close around the end of the 2020 second quarter.  We are expected to receive $5.1 million in cash for our anticipated sale of our partnership interest and expect to have an option to purchase at market 30% of the lots from this masterplan community.

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the unconsolidated joint ventures were in compliance with their respective loan covenants, where applicable, and we were not required to make any loan-to-value maintenance related payments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Our homebuilding and fee building segments can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we may be unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity in springlate winter and summer,spring, although this activity is also highly dependentdepends on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors. Since it typically takes five to nine months to construct a new home, depending on the nature of the product and whether it is single-family detached or multi-family attached, we typically deliver more homes in the second half of the year as springlate winter and summerspring home orders convert to home deliveries. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and a higher levelthe majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occursoccur during the second half of the year.year, particularly in the fourth quarter. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry and the opening and closeout of communities.

  In addition, as a result of the ongoing uncertainties and evolution of COVID-19, our traditional seasonal pattern is expected to be significantly impacted during 2020 (which, depending on long-term impacts, may continue into 2021 and beyond). 

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future.

Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not changed from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The portion of Note 1 to the accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under the heading "Recently Issued Accounting Standards" included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

JOBS Act



In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An "emerging growth company" can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we have chosen to "opt out" of such extended transition period and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures 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 by the SEC's rules and forms is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achievingreaching our desired disclosure control objectives. In designing controls and procedures specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls.

At the end of the period being reported upon, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2019.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any such claims and litigation will materially affect our results of operations or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


There

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.  

The following risk factor is added to the Risk Factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Risks Related to Our Business.”

Our business has been materially and adversely disrupted by the present COVID-19 outbreak and could be materially and adversely disrupted by another pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease, or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event, in the United States or elsewhere, and the measures implemented to address such an event by government agencies and authorities.   

A pandemic, epidemic or similar serious public health issue, such as the present outbreak of COVID-19, and the measures taken by international, federal, state and local governments, and other authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt our business in the ordinary course for an extended period.  Further, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets, resulting in an economic downturn.  As a result, consumer confidence may wane and demand for our homes may decline having a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and most states and municipalities have declared public health emergencies including the states in which we operate, California and Arizona. Along with these declarations, California and Arizona have enacted “stay-at-home” and "shelter-in-place" orders to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 that substantially restrict daily activities for individuals and many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.   

In response to the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders in California and Arizona, our model homes and design studios are no longer open to the public and are operating on an appointment-only basis, as permitted, following recommended distancing and other health and safety protocols when meeting in person with a customer.  Associates at our corporate and divisional offices have moved to a work-from-home model for nearly all employees.  Construction activities at our job sites within most of the jurisdictions in which we operate are permitted to continue during the stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders, however, careful protocols have been set in place to protect our employees and trade partners that may result in less efficient operations.  The restrictions the Company has taken to contain outbreak as well as a reduction in the availability, capacity and efficiency of municipal and private services necessary to operations may temper our sales pace and delay the delivery of our homes.   

Our business can be negatively impacted as a result of a number of additional factors influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of an unwillingness of customers to visit model homes or employees to return to work due to fears about illness; disruptions to the supply chain for building materials; disruptions in the mortgage financing markets; illness of key executives; inefficiencies due to safety protocols and social distancing; and costs incurred to disinfect contaminated employee work spaces, model homes or construction work sites. 

We are uncertain of the potential full magnitude or duration of the business and economic impacts from the unprecedented public health effort to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19, which include, among other things, significant volatility in financial markets and a sharp decrease in the value of equity securities, including our common stock. In addition, we can provide no assurance as to whether the COVID-19 public health effort will be intensified to such an extent that we will no longer be designated an essential business or that we will not be able to conduct any business operations in certain of our served markets or at all for an indefinite period.

Our business could also be negatively impacted over the medium-to-longer term if the disruptions related to COVID-19 decrease consumer confidence generally or with respect to purchasing a home; cause civil unrest; negatively impact mortgage availability or the federal government's mortgage loan-related programs; or precipitate a prolonged economic downturn and/or an extended rise in unemployment or tempering of wage growth, any of which could lower demand for our products; impair our ability to sell and build homes in a typical manner, or at all, generate revenues and cash flows, and/or access capital or lending markets (or significantly increase the costs of doing so), as may be necessary to sustain our business; increase our use of sales incentives and concessions which could adversely affect our margins; increase the costs or decrease the supply of building materials or the availability of subcontractors and other talent, including as a result of infections or medically necessary or recommended self-quarantining, or governmental mandates to direct production activities to support public health efforts; and/or result in our recognizing charges in current and future periods, which may be material, for inventory impairments or land option contract abandonments, or both, related to our current inventory assets.  For example, during the 2020 first quarter, the Company decided to terminate its option contract for a luxury condominium project in Scottsdale, Arizona in large part due to significant economic uncertainty related to COVID-19 and recorded an abandonment charge of $14.0 million related to the capitalized costs that have accumulated to the portion of the project that is being abandoned. The long-term economic impact and near-term financial impacts may cause us to incur other abandonment or impairment charges in the future, but the impact of COVID-19 cannot be reliably quantified or estimated at this time.

Should the adverse impacts described above (or others that are currently unknown) occur, whether individually or collectively, we would expect to experience, among other things, decreases in our net orders, homes delivered, average selling prices, revenues and profitability, as we have in the first few weeks of our second quarter, and such impacts could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements in the second quarter and beyond. In addition, should the COVID-19 public health effort intensify to such an extent that we cannot operate in most or all of our served markets, we could generate few or no orders and deliver few, if any, homes during the applicable period, which could be prolonged. Along with a potential increase in cancellations of home purchase contracts, if there are prolonged government restrictions on our business and our customers, and/or an extended economic recession, we could be unable to produce revenues and cash flows sufficient to conduct our business; meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility and Notes.  Such a circumstance could, among other things, exhaust our available liquidity (and ability to access liquidity sources) and/or trigger an acceleration to pay a significant portion or all of our then-outstanding debt obligations, which we may be unable to do.

The following Risk Factor under the heading “Risks Related to Our Business” below amends and restates the Risk Factor set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Failure to comply with privacy laws or an information systems interruption or breach in security that releases personal identifying information or other confidential information could adversely affect us.”

Failure to comply with privacy laws or an information systems interruption or breach in security that releases personal identifying information or other confidential information could adversely affect us.

Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved.  We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational and marketing activities and to maintain our business records. Furthermore, as part of our normal business activities, we collect and store personal identifying information, including information about employees, homebuyers, customers, vendors and suppliers and may share information with vendors who assist us with certain aspects of our business. The regulatory environment in California and throughout the U.S. surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding. We may share some of this confidential information with our vendors, such as escrow companies and related title services enterprises, who partner with us to support certain aspects of our business. The information technology systems we use are dependent upon global communications providers, web browsers, third-party software and data storage providers and other aspects of the Internet infrastructure that have experienced security breaches, cyber-attacks, ransomware attacks, significant systems failures and service outages in the past. A material breach in the security of our information technology systems or other data security controls could include the theft or release of customer, employee, vendor or company data. A data security breach, a significant and extended disruption in the functioning of our information technology systems or a breach of any of our data security controls could disrupt our business operations, damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, adversely impact our sales and revenue and require us to incur significant expense to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues. The release of confidential information as a result of a security breach could also lead to litigation or other proceedings against us by affected individuals or business partners, or by regulators, and the outcome of such proceedings, which could include penalties or fines, could have a significant negative impact on our business. We may also be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by information technology failures or security breaches in the future. We provide employee awareness training of cybersecurity threats and routinely utilize information technology consultants to assist us in our evaluations of the effectiveness of the security of our information technology systems, and we regularly enhance our security measures to protect our systems and data. However, because methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade systems evolve frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these attacks or to implement adequate preventative measures. Consequently, we cannot eliminate the risk that a security breach, cyber-attack, ransomware attack, data theft or other significant systems or security failures will occur in the future, and such occurrences could have a material and adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing further data or system protection measure could be significant and our efforts to deter, identify, mitigate and/or eliminate any security breaches or incidents may not be successful.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 and the federal and state mandates implemented to control its spread, we have taken steps to allow our workforce to perform critical business functions remotely. Many of these measures are being deployed for the first time and there is no guarantee the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter some of the common risks associated with employees accessing Company data and systems remotely. Despite our implementation of security measures, techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently.  As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.  Any compromise or perceived compromise of our security could damage our reputation and our relationship with our customers, could reduce demand for our services and could subject us to significant liability as well as regulatory action.

In addition to the risks described above, the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, risks related to deterioration in homebuilding and general economic conditions, our geographic concentration, competition, availability of mortgage financing, inventory risks and impairments, supply and/or labor shortages, access to capital markets (including the debt and secondary mortgage markets), impact on joint ventures, compliance with the terms of our indebtedness (including the Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes), potential downgrades of credit ratings, and our leverage.
