WILLIAM LYON HOMES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Operations
William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, (under the Village Homes brand), Washington and Oregon (each under(under the Polygon Northwest Homesbrand) and Oregon (under the Polygon Northwest brand).
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 and revenues and expenses for the three and ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, sales and profit recognition, accounting for variable interest entities, business combinations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, which are included in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report. Also, refer to the discussion under Change in Accounting Principle below regarding the adoption of the new standard for leases.
Real Estate Inventories
Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. From time to time the Company sells land to third parties. The Company does not consider these sales to be core to its homebuilding business, and any gain or loss recognized on these transactions is recorded in other non-operating income. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, the Company sold two and five parcels ofhad a land respectively, resultingparcel sale to a third party that did not result in a $2.7 millionany gain for both periods then ended.or loss.
A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves a percent of the sales price of its homes, or a set amount per home closed depending on the operating division, against the possibility of future charges relating to its warranty programs and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, are as follows (in thousands):

Construction Services
The Company accounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under ASC 605, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract.
The Company entered into construction management agreements to build, sell and market homes in certain communities. For such services, the Company will receive fees (generally 3 to 5 percent of the sales price, as defined) and may, under certain circumstances, receive additional compensation if certain financial thresholds are achieved.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These financial instruments include letters of credit and obligations in connection with assessment district bonds. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 12.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts, however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of deposits made by the Company to a bank account as collateral for the use of letters of credit to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain other contractual arrangements in the normal course of business.


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


Goodwill
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have six reporting segments, as discussed in Note 4, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Intangibles
Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to brand names of acquired entities, construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), or FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). All intangible assets with the exception of those relating to brand names were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close. Our brand name intangible assets are deemed to have an indefinite useful life.
Income per common share
The Company computes income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders.
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income per common share, basic income per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified several aspects for the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company did not have any previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when revenue is recognized by an entity. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, an entity will need to exercise a greater degree of judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied either retrospectively or using the cumulative effect transition method, with early adoption not permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on the amount or timing of its revenues. ASU 2014-09 may


impact the classification and timing of recognition of certain marketing costs and costs associated with obtaining a customer sales contract that the Company incurs in the course of its business. The Company has not yet selectedconcluded its analysis of these costs, but does not anticipate that adoption of the ASU will result in a material change to the Company's financial statements or related disclosures. The Company has not finalized its implementation plan for ASU 2014-09, but expects to employ the cumulative effect transition method,method.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2014-092016-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Change in Accounting Principle
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments toDuring the Consolidation Analysis"second quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2015-02"ASU"). ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation guidance for variable interest entities and voting interest


entities, among other items, by eliminating the consolidation model previously applied to limited partnerships, emphasizing the risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest and reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
The Company adopted the new standard with a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the datebeginning of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” ("ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects for the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain balances on the financial statements and certain amountsearliest comparative period presented in the notes have been reclassifiedfinancial statements. The adoption is accounted for as a change in orderaccounting principle in conformity with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”.
As a result of the adoption, the most significant changes related to conform(1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for office, real estate and equipment operating leases; and (2) the derecognition of previous assets and liabilities for a sale-leaseback transaction that did not qualify for sale accounting under the previous standards.
The Company elected all of the standard's available practical expedients on adoption, including the package of practical expedients and use of hindsight expedient. Consequently, the Company:
Recognized lease related liabilities within Accrued expenses of $15.6 million as of June 30, 2017, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases.

Note 2—Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company was party to eleventwelve and eighteleven joint ventures respectively, for the purpose of land development and homebuilding activities which we have determined to be VIEs. The Company, as the managing member, has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs since it manages the daily operations and has exposure to the risks and rewards of the VIEs, based upon the allocation of income and loss per the respective joint venture agreements. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint ventures, and the VIEs were consolidated as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $226.1$256.5 million, of which $4.1$3.7 million was cash and cash equivalents and $221.2$264.3 million was real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $129.3$104.5 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
As of December 31, 2015,2016, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $155.0$204.8 million, of which $2.8$5.8 million was cash and cash equivalents and $148.6$200.7 million was real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $97.1$107.3 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Income from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income of our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures, which is allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements less any additional impairments recorded against our investments in joint


ventures which we do not deem recoverable.  For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and 2015,2016, the Company recorded income of $1.4$1.2 million and $3.8$1.5 million, and $1.0$1.2 million and $1.8$2.4 million, respectively, from its unconsolidated joint ventures. This income was primarily attributable to our share of income related to mortgages that were generated and issued to qualifying home buyers during the periods.
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and 2015,2016, all of our unconsolidated joint ventures were reviewed for impairment.  Based on the impairment review, no investments in joint ventures were determined to be impaired.

Revolving Line of Credit Facility
On July 1, 2016, California Lyon and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement agreement pursuant to which its existing credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility, as previously amended and restated on March 27, 2015 as described below, was further amended and restated in its entirety (as so further amended and restated,from time to time, the "Second Amended Facility"). The Second Amended Facility amends and restates the Company’s previous $130.0 million revolving credit facility and provides for total lending commitments of $145.0 million. In addition, the Second Amended Facility has an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company may increase the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit. The Second Amended Facility, among other things, also amended the maturity date of the previous facility to July 1, 2019, provided that the Second Amended Facility will terminate on January 14, 2019 (the “Springing Termination Date”) if, on the Springing Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of California Lyon’s 5.75% senior notes due 2019 is equal to or greater than the sum of (a) 50% of the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of California Lyon, Parent, certain of the Parent’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (together with California Lyon and Parent, the “Loan Parties”) and their Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) for the four-quarter period ending September 30, 2018, plus (b) the Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of the Loan Parties and their consolidated subsidiaries on the Springing Termination Date. Further, the Second Amended Facility amended the maximum leverage ratio covenant to extend the timing of the gradual step-downs. Specifically, pursuant to the Second Amended Facility, the maximum leverage


ratio will remainremained at 65% from June 30, 2016 through and including December 30, 2016, will decreasedecreased to 62.5% on the last day


of the 2016 fiscal year, remainremained at 62.5% from December 31, 2016 through and including June 29, 2017, and willwas scheduled to further decrease to 60% on the last day of the second quarter of 2017 and to remain at 60% thereafter. The Second Amended Facility did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.
On June 16, 2017, California Lyon, Parent and the lenders party thereto entered into an amendment to the Second Amended Facility, which amended the maximum leverage ratio to further extend the timing of the gradual step-downs, such that the leverage ratio will remain at 62.5% through and including December 30, 2017, and decrease to 60% on the last day of the 2017 fiscal year and remain at 60% thereafter. The amendment did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.
Prior to the entry into the Second Amended Facility as described above, on March 27, 2015, California Lyon and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement agreement which amended and restated the Company's previous $100 million revolving credit facility and provided for total lending commitments of $130.0 million, an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company could increase the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances (up from a maximum aggregate of $125.0 million under the previous facility), as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit, and extended the maturity date of the previous facility by one year to August 7, 2017.
The Second Amended Facility contains certain financial maintenance covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $451.0 million (which is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings, as well as deferred tax assets to the extent included on the Company's financial statements), (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 65%, which maximum leverage ratio decreasesdecreased to 62.5% effective as of December 31, 2016 and further decreasesis scheduled to decrease to 60% effective as of June 30,December 31, 2017, and (c) a covenant requiring us to maintain either (i) an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest incurred, as defined therein) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 or (ii) liquidity (as defined therein) of an amount not less than the greater of our consolidated interest incurred during the trailing 12 months and $50.0 million. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Second Amended Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The Second Amended Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the Second Amended Facility and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. If a change in control (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitments under the Second Amended Facility and require that the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread.
In January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment which modifies the definition of Tangible Net Worth for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio covenant under the Second Amended Facility, so as to exclude any reduction in Tangible Net Worth (as defined therein) that occurs as a result of the costs related to payment of any call premium or any other costs associated with the refinancing transaction and the redemption of outstanding 8.5% Notes. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Borrowings under the Second Amended Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent's wholly-owned subsidiaries, are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may be used for general corporate purposes. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Second Facility accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had $96.0$65.0 million and $65.0$29.0 million outstanding against the Second Amended Facility, respectively, at effective rates of 4.37%4.38% and 3.32%4.75%, respectively as well as a letter of credit for $8.6$8.0 million outstanding at both dates.

Subordinated Amortizing Notes
On November 21, 2014, in order to pay down amounts borrowed under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility entered into in conjunction with the Polygon Acquisition, the Company completed its public offering and sale of 1,000,000 6.50% tangible equity units (“TEUs”, or "Units"), sold for a stated amount of $100 per Unit, featuring a 17.5% conversion premium.  On December 3, 2014, the Company sold an additional 150,000 TEUs pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each TEU is a unit composed of two parts: 


a prepaid stock purchase contract (a “purchase contract”); and
a senior subordinated amortizing note (an “amortizing note”).

Unless settled earlier at the holder’s option, each purchase contract will automatically settle on December 1, 2017 (the "mandatory settlement date"), and the Company will deliver not more than 5.2247 shares of Class A Common Stock and not less than 4.4465 shares of Class A Common Stock on the mandatory settlement date, subject to adjustment, based upon the applicable settlement rate and applicable market value of Class A Common Stock.
Each amortizing note had an initial principal amount of $18.01, bears interest at the annual rate of 5.50% and has a final installment payment date of December 1, 2017. On each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing on March 1, 2015, William Lyon Homes will pay equal quarterly installments of $1.6250 on each amortizing note (except for the


March 1, 2015 installment payment, which was $1.8056 per amortizing note). Each installment will constitute a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal. The amortizing notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, other than borrowings under the Amended Facility and the Company's secured project level financing, which will be senior in right of payment to the obligations under the amortizing notes, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
Each TEU may be separated into its constituent purchase contract and amortizing note on any business day during the period beginning on, and including, the business day immediately succeeding the date of initial issuance of the Units to, but excluding, the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the mandatory settlement date. Prior to separation, the purchase contracts and amortizing notes may only be purchased and transferred together as Units. The net proceeds received from the TEU issuance were allocated between the amortizing note and the purchase contract under the relative fair value method, with amounts allocated to the purchase contract classified as additional paid-in capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the amortizing notes had an unamortized carrying value of $9.0$3.5 million and $14.1$7.2 million, respectively.

On March 31, 2014, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "5.75% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The 5.75% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. In August 2014, we exchanged 100% of the initial 5.75% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.75% Notes was $150 million, excluding deferred loan costs of $1.3$0.9 million.

The 5.75% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.75% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

On October 24, 2013, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of an additional $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “additional 8.5% Notes”, and together with the initial 8.5% notes, the "8.5% Notes" ) at an issue price of 106.5% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from and including May 15, 2013, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $104.7 million. In February 2014, we exchanged 100% of the additional 8.5% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.

(“Escrow Issuer”), completed its private placement with registration rights of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “initial 7.00% Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million.

On August 12, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the Polygon Acquisition, Escrow Issuer merged with and into California Lyon, and California Lyon assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the initial 7.00% Notes and the related indenture by operation of law (the “Escrow Merger”). Following the Escrow Merger, California Lyon is the obligor under the initial 7.00% Notes. In January 2015, we exchanged 100% of the initial 7.00% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.
On September 15, 2015, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “additional 7.00% Notes”, and together with the intialinitial 7.00% Notes, the "7.00% Notes") at an issue price of 102.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest from August 15, 2015, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $50.5 million. In January 2016, we exchanged 100% of the additional 7.00% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 the outstanding amount of the 7.00% Notes was $350 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.9$0.8 million and deferred loan costs of $5.0$4.4 million. The 7.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, and mature on August 15, 2022. The 7.00% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 7.00% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019, as described above, and $425$450 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.5%5.875% Senior Notes due 2020, each as described above.below. The 7.00% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 7.00% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

5.875% Senior NoteNotes Due 2025
On January 31, 2017, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "5.875% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. The 5.875% Notes were issued at 99.215% of their aggregate principal amount. Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from the 5.875% Notes offering to purchase the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 8.5% Notes such that the entire aggregate $425 million of previously outstanding 8.5% Notes are retired and extinguished as of June 30, 2017. In May 2017, the Company exchanged 100% of the 5.875% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.
As of June 30, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.875% Notes was $450 million, excluding unamortized discount of $3.4 million and deferred loan costs of $7.7 million. The 5.875% Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 31 and July 31, and mature on January 31, 2025. The 5.875% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 5.875% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019 and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022, each as described above. The 5.875% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.875% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

Note 7—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), the Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate:

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

Subordinated amortizing notes—The Subordinated amortizing notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

    5 3/4% Senior Notes due April 15, 2019 —The 5 3/4% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

8 1/2% Senior Notes due November 15, 2020 —The 8 1/2% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

7% Senior Notes due August 15, 2022 —The 7% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

5 7/8 Senior Notes due January 31, 2025 —The 5 7/8% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

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

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of its Notes payable, and Level 2 to measure the fair value of its Senior notes and Subordinated amortizing notes. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.




Note 8—Related Party Transactions

On September 3, 2009, Presley CMR, Inc., a California corporation (“Presley CMR”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of California Lyon, entered into an Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an affiliate of General William Lyon to sell an aircraft (the “Aircraft”). The PSA provided for an aggregate purchase price for the Aircraft of $8.3 million, (which value was the appraised fair market value of the Aircraft), which consisted of: (i) cash in the amount of $2.1 million to be paid at closing and (ii) a promissory note from the affiliate in the amount of $6.2 million. The note was secured by the Aircraft and required semiannual interest payments to California Lyon of approximately $0.1 million. The note provided for a maturity date in September 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the promissory note was paid in full by the borrower prior to the September 2016 maturity date, along with all accrued interest to date.

In August 2016 the Company acquired certain lots within a master planned community located in Aurora, Colorado, for an overall purchase price of approximately $9.3 million, from an entity managed by an affiliate of Paulson & Co., Inc. (“Paulson”). WLH Recovery Acquisition LLC, which is affiliated with, and managed by affiliates of, Paulson, holds over 5% of Parent’s outstanding Class A common stock. A portion of the acquisition price for the lots was paid in the form of a seller note with a principal amount of approximately $3.0 million (see Note 6).million. The Company believes that the transaction, including the terms of the seller note, was on terms no less favorable than it would have agreed to with unrelated parties.

Note 9—Income Taxes
Since inception, the Company has operated solely within the United States. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 33.4%31.3% and 33.4%24.6%, and 28.8%33.3% and 32.3%33.4% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The significant drivers of the effective tax rate are the loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the retirement of the 8.5% Notes (see Note 6), allocation of income to noncontrolling interests change in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, and the domestic production activities deduction.
Management assesses its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company's assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carry back years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, the Company’sCompany had no amounts recorded as a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.recorded.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had no remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and $54.7$56.2 million of remaining state net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031. In addition, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had unused federal and state built-in losses of $53.2$52.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The five year testing period for built-in losses expires in 2017 and the unused built-in loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2032. The Company had AMT credit carryovers of $1.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which have an indefinite life.
FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criterion for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ended 20122013 through 20152016 and forward. The Company is subject to various state income tax examinations for calendar tax years ended 20082009 through 20152016 and forward.

Note 11—Stock Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at the fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards with performance based conditions is recognized over the vesting period once achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable.
During the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company granted 31,571 and 291,3681,232 shares of time-based restricted stock respectively. Duringand during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company granted 566,092253,243 shares of time-based restricted stock and 553,909 shares of performance based restricted stock. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Equity, the Company considers unvested shares of restricted stock to be issued, but not outstanding.
The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 of $1.5 million and $4.1$3.2 million, and $1.6$1.1 million and $4.8$2.6 million, respectively.


Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

With respect to the performance based restricted stock awards granted to certain employees during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, the actual number of such shares of restricted stock that will be earned (the “Earned Shares”) is subject to the Company’s achievement of pre-established performance targets as of the end of the 20162017 fiscal year. For each of the aforementioned awards, one-third of the Earned Shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. Based on the probability assessment as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, management determined that the currently available data was not sufficient to support that the achievement of the minimum threshold for one of the performance targets is probable, and as such, no compensation expense of $0.3 million has been recognized for these awards to date.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards
With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain employees and non-employee directors during the three and ninemonths ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, representing 250,3041,232 shares of restricted stock, 163,269all shares are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which one-half of the shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2018 and 2019, in each case subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain employees and non-employee directors during the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing 253,243 shares of restricted stock, 172,857 of such shares are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which one-third of the shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019, 55,4642020, 45,111 of such shares are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which one-half of the shares will vest on March

With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain non-employee directorsdate, and 35,275 of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing 41,064such shares of restricted stock, the awards vest in equal quarterly installments on each of June 1, 2016,


2017, September 1, 2016,2017, December 1, 20162017 and March 1, 2017,2018, subject to each grantee’s continued service on the board through each vesting date.


Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities include the usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal business activities. We believe that the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings, and as appropriate, adjust them to reflect (i) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments; (ii) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (iii) the assumptions and judgment of management. Similar factors and considerations are used in establishing new accruals for proceedings as to which losses have become probable and reasonably estimable at the time an evaluation is made. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual had been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our office facilities. Rent expense under cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases totaled $1.0 million and $2.9 million, and $1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. The table below shows the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases at September 30, 2016 (in thousands).

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in deposits as collateral for outstanding surety bonds to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. The standby letters of credit were secured by cash as reflected as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Company also had outstanding performance and surety bonds of $195.9$216.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, related principally to its obligations for site improvements at various projects. The Company does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had $238.5$202.0 million of project commitments relating to the construction of projects.
See Note 6 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements.
The Company has entered into various purchase option agreements with third parties to acquire land. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company has made non-refundable deposits of $55.6$60.9 million. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the land, but would forfeit remaining deposits if the land were not purchased. The total remaining purchase price under the option agreements is $447.3$442.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

Lease Obligations
As described more fully in Note 1, as of April 1, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and recognized lease obligations and associated ROU assets for its existing non-cancelable leases. Lease obligations, as included in Accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, were $15.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and $12.6 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company has non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with office facilities, real estate and office equipment, in addition to one related sublease for an office facility. The determination of which discount rate to use when measuring the lease obligation was deemed a significant judgment. Lease cost, as included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods, and additional information regarding lease terms are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition contains forward-looking statements reflecting current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See the section titled, “CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in such section.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to operate in the ordinary course of its business and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future.
Results of Operations
In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company delivered 1,8791,330 homes, with an ASP of approximately $494,400,$512,400, and recognized home sales revenue of $929.0$681.5 million.

Gross Margin
Homebuilding gross margins decreased to 16.6%16.5% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 from 18.0%17.4% in the 20152016 period, primarily driven by product and geographic mix for home deliveries, as well as rising labor and land costs, as well as an increase in capitalized interest being amortized through cost of sales, which increased to 400 basis points compared to 340 basis points in the 2015 period, and which also included infrastructure charges included in cost of sales for two sold out projects in Northern California, which impacted gross margins for the period.costs.
For the comparison of the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales as well as the effect of adjustments recorded in relation to purchase accounting, was 22.2%22.1% for the 20162017 period compared to 24.7%24.0% for the 20152016 period. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in homebuilding gross margins described above coupled with a decrease in the impact of purchase accounting.accounting adjustments.
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. For comparative purposes purchase accounting is the net adjustment in basis related to the acquisition of our Colorado, Washington and Oregon operating divisions. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to homebuilding gross margin.

Gross Margin
Homebuilding gross margins decreased to 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 17.5% in the 2016 period, primarily driven by product and geographic mix for home deliveries, as well as rising labor and land costs.
For the comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales as well as the effect of adjustments recorded in relation to purchase accounting, was 21.7% for the 2017 period compared to 24.3% for the 2016 period. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in homebuilding gross margins described above coupled with a decrease in the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. For comparative purposes purchase accounting is the net adjustment in basis related to the acquisition of our Colorado, Washington and Oregon operating divisions. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to homebuilding gross margin.

The average sales price of homes closed during the 2016 period increased 9% due to an increase in the average sales price of homes closed, primarily driven by product mix, in all reporting segments except Arizona, which experienced nominal decreases. In addition to the product mix shift, the increase in ASP in Washington was also due to price appreciation in certain communities that were open in both the 2016 and 2015 periods.

Gross Margin
Homebuilding gross margins decreased to 17.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 18.6% in the 2015 period, primarily driven by rising labor and land costs, as well as an increase in capitalized interest being amortized through cost of sales, which increased to 420 basis points compared to 350 basis points in the 2015 period, and which included infrastructure charges included in cost of sales for two sold out projects in Northern California, which impacted gross margins for the period.
For the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales as well as the effect of adjustments recorded in relation to purchase accounting, was 23.5% for the 2016 period compared to 25.1% for the 2015 period. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in homebuilding gross margins described above.
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. For comparative purposes purchase accounting is the net adjustment in basis related to the acquisition of our Colorado, Washington and Oregon operating divisions. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to homebuilding gross margin.

Construction services revenue, which is only in the California reporting segment, was $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue attributable to one project in Northern California, which has closed out.

The decrease is driven by increased revenues and improved operating leverage on our increased headcount.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $1.8 million during the 2015 period.

The increase in interest incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the interest incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflects an increase in the Company's overall debt, offset by a decrease in effective interest rates. The Company capitalized all of the interest it incurred during both periods presented due to its qualifying assets exceeding its outstanding debt.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company sold five parcels of land resulting in a $2.7 million gain.
Provision for Income Taxes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $20.9 million, for an effective tax rate of 33.4%. The significant drivers of the effective rate are the allocation of income to noncontrolling interests, change in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, and domestic production activities deduction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $15.8 million for an effective tax rate of 32.3%.




Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $4.9 million during the 2016 period from $2.1 million during the 2015 period, reflecting the stage in the project development cycle of a number of our recently entered into joint venture projects and an increase in deliveries.
Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a result of the foregoing factors,while net income attributableavailable to common stockholders for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and 2015 was $36.6 million, and $31.0 million, respectively.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The U.S. housing market has continued to improve from the cyclical low points of the early years of the last real estate cycle. Strong housing markets have been associated with great affordability, a healthy domestic economy and positive demographic trends, including employment and population growth. WhileThe Company has experienced a strong selling season in its first half of the homebuilding industry encountered some challenges during 2015 and continuing inyear, with orders up 21%, demonstrating strong growth over 2016, including constrained subcontractor andagainst a backdrop of tight labor availability, increasedmarkets, fluctuating cycle times, volatility in global and financial markets, and weather challenges, during the first nine months of 2016 the Company has continued to show year-over-year improvement in deliveries, revenues, orders, and pre-tax income.geo-political changes.
The Company benefits from a sizable and well-located lot supply, and as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company owned 13,86713,421 lots, all of which are entitled, and had options to purchase an additional 4,2825,112 lots. The Company’s lot supply reflects its balanced approach to land investment. The Company has a diverse mix of finished lots available for near-term homebuilding operations and longer-term strategic land positions to support future growth. The Company believes that its current inventory of owned and controlled lots is sufficient to supply the vast majority of its projected future home closings for the next several years. The Company has continued to experience increased cycle times in a number of its operating segments in the start of 2016,2017, and theweather delays, availability of qualified trades with the associated delays and cost increases are challenges faced by the Company and the entire homebuilding industry during 20152016 and into 2016.2017. The Company continues to implement new strategies to temper the impact of these challenges in an effort to manage cycle times and deliveries.
Since our initial public offering, which raised approximately $163.7 million of net proceeds, the Company has access to the public equity and debt markets, which it has utilized as a significant source of financing for investing in land in our existing markets or financing expansion into new markets, such as the Company’s acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes during 2014.
The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements with the proceeds from capital markets transactions, as well as from internally generated funds from the sales of homes and/or land sales. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company delivered 1,8791,330 homes, and recognized home sales revenue of $929.0$681.5 million. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company used cash in operations of $83.0$66.8 million, which included investment in land acquisitions of $247.1$185.8 million, for net cash generated by operations of $164.1 million.$119.0 million, net of investment in land acquisitions. In addition, the Company has the option to use additional outside borrowing, form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, buy land via lot options or land banking arrangements, and engage in future transactions in the public equity and debt markets. The Company has financed, and may in the future finance, certain projects and land acquisitions with construction loans secured by real estate inventories, seller-provided financing, land banking transactions, and capital markets transactions. The Company may also draw on its revolving line of credit to fund land acquisitions, as discussed below. We believe we are well-positioned with a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity for supporting our ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

Tangible Equity Units
On November 21, 2014, in order to pay down amounts borrowed under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility entered into in conjunction with the Polygon Acquisition, the Company completed its public offering and sale of 1,000,000 6.50% tangible equity units (“TEUs”, or "Units"), sold for a stated amount of $100 per Unit, featuring a 17.5% conversion premium.  On December 3, 2014, the Company sold an additional 150,000 TEUs pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each TEU is a unit composed of two parts: 
a prepaid stock purchase contract (a “purchase contract”); and


a senior subordinated amortizing note (an “amortizing note”).

Unless settled earlier at the holder’s option, each purchase contract will automatically settle on December 1, 2017 (the "mandatory settlement date"), and the Company will deliver not more than 5.2247 shares of Class A Common Stock and not less than 4.4465 shares of Class A Common Stock on the mandatory settlement date, subject to adjustment, based upon the applicable settlement rate and applicable market value of Class A Common Stock.


Each amortizing note had an initial principal amount of $18.01, bears interest at the annual rate of 5.50% and has a final installment payment date of December 1, 2017. On each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing on March 1, 2015, William Lyon Homes will pay equal quarterly installments of $1.6250 on each amortizing note (except for the March 1, 2015 installment payment, which was $1.8056 per amortizing note). Each installment will constitute a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal. The amortizing notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, other than borrowings under the Amended Facility and the Company's secured project level financing, which will be senior in right of payment to the obligations under the amortizing notes, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
Each TEU may be separated into its constituent purchase contract and amortizing note on any business day during the period beginning on, and including, the business day immediately succeeding the date of initial issuance of the Units to, but excluding, the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the mandatory settlement date. Prior to separation, the purchase contracts and amortizing notes may only be purchased and transferred together as Units. The net proceeds received from the TEU issuance were allocated between the amortizing note and the purchase contract under the relative fair value method, with amounts allocated to the purchase contract classified as additional paid-in capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the amortizing notes had an unamortized carrying value of $9.0$3.5 million and $14.1$7.2 million, respectively.
The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the TEUs to pay down approximately $111.2 million of outstanding debt under a senior unsecured bridge loan facility used to finance the Company's acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes during 2014.

Revolving Lines of Credit Facility
On July 1, 2016, California Lyon and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement agreement, pursuant to which its existing credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility, as previously amended and restated on March 27, 2015 as described below, was further amended and restated in its entirety (as so further amended and restated,from time to time, the “Second Amended Facility”). The Second Amended Facility amends and restates the Company’s previous $130.0 million revolving credit facility and provides for total lending commitments of $145.0 million. In addition, the Second Amended Facility has an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company may increase the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit. The Second Amended Facility, among other things, also amended the maturity date of the previous facility to July 1, 2019, provided that the Second Amended Facility will terminate on January 14, 2019 (the “Springing Termination Date”) if, on the Springing Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of California Lyon’s 5.75% senior notes due 2019 is equal to or greater than the sum of


(a) 50% of the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of California Lyon, Parent, certain of the Parent’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (together with California Lyon and Parent, the “Loan Parties”) and their Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) for the four-quarter period ending September 30, 2018, plus (b) the Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of the Loan Parties and their consolidated subsidiaries on the Springing Termination Date. Further, the Second Amended Facility amended the maximum leverage ratio covenant to extend the timing of the gradual step-downs. Specifically, pursuant to the Second Amended Facility, the maximum leverage ratio will remainremained at 65% from June 30, 2016 through and including December 30, 2016, will decreasedecreased to 62.5% on the last day of the 2016 fiscal year, remainremained at 62.5% from December 31, 2016 through and including June 29, 2017, and willwas scheduled to further decrease to 60% on the last day of the second quarter of 2017 and to remain at 60% thereafter. The Second Amended Facility did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.
On June 16, 2017, California Lyon, Parent and the lenders party thereto entered into an amendment to the Second Amended Facility, which amended the maximum leverage ratio to further extend the timing of the gradual step-downs, such that the leverage ratio will remain at 62.5% through and including December 30, 2017, and decrease to 60% on the last day of the 2017 fiscal year and remain at 60% thereafter. The amendment did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.
Prior to the entry into the Second Amended Facility as described above, on March 27, 2015, California Lyon and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement agreement which amended and restated the Company's previous $100 million revolving credit facility and provided for total lending commitments of $130.0 million, an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company could increase the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances (up from a maximum aggregate of $125.0 million under the previous facility), as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit, and extended the maturity date of the previous facility by one year to August 7, 2017.
Borrowings under the Second Amended Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent's wholly-owned subsidiaries, are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may be used for general corporate purposes. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Second Facility accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $96.0$65.0 million and $65.0$29.0 million outstanding against the Second Amended Facility, respectively, at effective rates of 4.37%4.38% and 3.32%4.75%, respectively as well as a letter of credit for $8.6$8.0 million outstanding at both dates.
The Second Amended Facility contains certain financial maintenance covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $451.0 million (which is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings, as well as deferred tax assets to the extent included on the Company's financial statements), (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 65%, which maximum leverage ratio decreasesdecreased to 62.5% effective as of December 31, 2016 and further decreasesis scheduled to decrease to 60% effective as of June 30,December 31, 2017, and (c) a covenant requiring us to maintain either (i) an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest incurred, as defined therein) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 or (ii) liquidity (as defined therein) of an amount not less than the greater of our consolidated interest incurred during the trailing 12 months and $50.0 million. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Second Amended Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms.
In connection with the issuance of the Company’s 5.875% Notes to pay off in full the previously outstanding 8.5% Notes in January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Amended Facility effective as of January 2017. The amendment modifies the definition of Tangible Net Worth (as defined therein) for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio covenant under the Second Amended Facility, so as to exclude any reduction in Tangible Net Worth that occurs as a result of


the costs related to payment of any call premium or any other costs associated with the refinancing transaction and the redemption of outstanding 8.5% Notes.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The following table summarizes these covenants pursuant to the Second Amended Facility, and our compliance with such covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016:2017:

(1)    We are required to meet either the Interest Coverage Ratio or Minimum Liquidity, but not both.
Although the Company does not believe it is likely to breach any of the covenants listed above, including the maximum leverage ratio covenant, based on its current expectations and assumptions, there are certain steps that the Company could take to decrease the likelihood of any breach in the event it was determined that a breach was reasonably likely. The Company remains focused on continuing to drive top line revenue growth which it believes will improve cash flow and generate earnings. In addition, there are certain discretionary levers that the Company has the ability to utilize to the extent it is determined that near-term steps are needed to manage to covenant requirements. For example, land acquisition and development is a strategic investment by the Company to support our future growth plans. While the Company intends to continue to acquire land that it believes is accretive to the Company, the Company's currently owned and controlled land position enables it to be selective and nimble in its future acquisition strategy. The Company also has the option to form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, purchase land through lot options or land banking


arrangements, as well as utilizing such financing structures as a means to generate incremental cash flow, or adjust the timing of housing starts. In addition, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company paid approximately $247.1$185.8 million for land and land developments. Such spending related to land owned is a discretionary component that the Company can temper as needed to reduce cash outflow, and it believes it can do so without a significant impact on near-term operating results.
The Second Amended Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants, including those financial covenants identified above; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events.
The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the Second Amended Facility and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit, if we are unable to amend the Second Amended Facility, secure a waiver of the default from the lenders or otherwise cure the default. Further, acceleration of the Second Amended Facility borrowings may result in the acceleration of other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, including but not limited to our senior notes as described above to the extent the acceleration is above certain threshold amounts, and the triggering default is not cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded, as well as certain notes payable.
In addition, if a change in control (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitments under the Second Amended Facility and require that the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit.
The Company believes it has access to alternate sources of funding to pay off resulting obligations or replace funding under the Second Amended Facility should there be a likelihood of, or anticipated, breach of any covenants, including cash generated from operations and opportunistic land sales. In addition, the Company has capacity under the restrictive covenants of its senior notes indentures to incur additional indebtedness which it can do through access to the debt capital markets, and the Company believes it can also raise equity in the capital markets.

2017.

Seller Financing
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had $32.4$20.1 million of notes payable outstanding related to two land acquisitions for which seller financing was provided. The first note of approximately $3.0 million bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum, is secured by the underlying land, and matures in August 2017. This note was entered into with a related party, which is described in more detail in the financial statements. The second note of $29.4$17.1 million bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum, is secured by the underlying land, and matures in June 2018.
Net Debt to Total Capital
The Company’s ratio of net debt to net booktotal capital (net of cash) was 60.8%57.2% and 61.1%57.6% as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The ratio of net debt to net booktotal capital (net of cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, by net book capital (notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus total equity). The Company believes this calculation is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to total capital.

Joint Venture Financing
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are general partners or members in joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. As described more fully in Critical Accounting Policies—Variable Interest Entities, certain joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method because the Company has a 50% or less voting or economic interest (and thus such joint ventures are not controlled by the Company). Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired a non-controlling interest in an unconsolidated mortgage joint venture.
Assessment District Bonds
In some jurisdictions in which the Company develops and constructs property, assessment district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure improvements and fees. Such financing has been an important part of financing master-planned communities due to the long-term nature of the financing, favorable interest rates when compared to the Company’s other sources of funds and the fact that the bonds are sold, administered and collected by the relevant government entity. As a landowner benefited by the improvements, the Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When the Company’s homes or other properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the responsibility for the related assessments.


Cash Flows—Comparison of the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 to the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152016
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $83.0$66.8 million in the 20162017 period from $220.4$74.9 million in the 20152016 period. The change was primarily a result of (i) a net decrease in spending on real estate inventories-owned of $146.7$92.3 million in the 2017 period compared to spending of $123.2 million in the 2016 period, compared to spending(ii) equity in income of $323.7unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.5 million in the 20152017 period (ii)compared to $2.4 million in the 2016 period, and (iii) a decrease in net income to $11.0 million compared to net income of $3.0$25.0 million in escrow proceeds receivablethe 2016 period, offset by (iv) a decrease in accrued expenses of $13.8 million in the 20162017 period compared to an increase of $2.9$3.4 million in the 20152016 period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million in the 2017 period duecompared to the timingnet cash provided by investing activities of homes closed, (iii) net income of $41.5$5.6 million in the 2016 period, compared to $33.1 million in the 2015 period, (iv) an increase in accounts payable of $1.0 million in the 2016 period compared to an increase of $63.5 million in the 2015 period due to timing of payments, (vi) an increase in accrued expenses of $11.6 million in the 2016 period compared to an increase of $10.0 million in the 2015 period, and (vii) equity of income in unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.8 million in the 2016 period compared to $1.8 million in the 2015 period.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.4 million in the 2016 period compared net cash used of $2.3 million in the 2015 period, primarily driven by (i) collections of related party notes of $6.2 million in the 2016 period with no comparable amount in the 2015 period, (ii) net cash paid to unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.0 million in the 2015 period, with no comparable amount in the 2016 period and (iii) purchases of property and equipment of $0.8 million in the 2016 period, compared to $1.3 million in the 20152017 period.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $68.1$57.0 million in the 20162017 period from $196.3$58.9 million in the 20152016 period. The change was primarily the result of (i) principal payments for the 8.5% Senior Notes for $425.0 million in the 2017 period, in addition to its redemption premium for $19.6 million, for which there is no comparable amount in the 2016 period, (ii) payment of deferred loan costs of $9.7 million in the 2017 period compared to $0.2 million in the 2016 period, and (iii) net borrowingpayments of $31.0notes payable of $3.7 million in the 2017 period, versus net borrowings of $40.8 million in the 2016 period, offset by (iv) proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes for $446.5 million in the 2017 period for which there is no comparable amount in the 2016 period, (v) net borrowings of $36.0 million against the revolving line of credit in the 20162017 period versus net borrowingpayments of $85.0$6.0 million in the 20152016 period, offset by (ii)and (vi) net noncontrolling interest contributions of $23.4$37.6 million in the 20162017 period versus net contributions of $4.9$28.7 million in the 2015 period and (iii) net borrowings of notes payable of $20.7 million in the 2016 period, versus net borrowings of $63.8 million in the 2015 period.
Based on capital market access and expected sales volume, the Company believes it has sufficient cash and sources of financing for at least the next twelve months.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements including joint venture financing, option agreements, land banking arrangements and variable interests in consolidated and unconsolidated entities. These arrangements are more fully described above and in Notes 2 and 12 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” In addition, the Company is party to certain contractual obligations, including land purchases and project commitments, which are detailed in Note 12 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”



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

(1)The estimated number of homes to be built at completion is approximate and includes home sites in our backlog. Such estimated amounts are subject to change based on, among other things, future site planning, as well as zoning and permit changes, and there can be no assurance that the Company will build these homes. IncludesFurther, certain projects may include lots owned, controlled or previously closed as of periods presented.that the Company controls, and that are also reflected in "Future Owned and Controlled".
(2)“Cumulative Homes Closed” represents homes closed since the project opened, and may include prior years, in addition to the homes closed during the current year presented.
(3)Backlog consists of homes sold under sales contracts that have not yet closed, and there can be no assurance that closings of sold homes will occur.
(4)Of the total homes subject to pending sales contracts as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, 9282017, 1,201 represent homes that are completed or under construction.
(5)Lots owned as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 include lots in backlog at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.


(6)Estimated sales price range reflects the most recent pricing updates of the base price only and excludes any lot premium, buyer incentive and buyer selected options, which vary from project to project. Sales prices reflect current pricing estimates and might not be indicative of past or future pricing. Further, any potential benefit to be gained from an increase in sales price ranges as compared to previously estimated amounts may be offset by increases in costs, profit participation, and other factors.
(7)Project is a joint venture and is consolidated as a VIE in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.
(8)Project is completely sold out, therefore the sales price range is not applicable as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
(9)The Company's Washington and Oregon segments were acquired on August 12, 2014 as part of the Polygon Acquisition. Estimated number of homes at completion is the number of homes to be built post-acquisition. Homes closed are from acquisition date through SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
(10)Includes projects with lots owned as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016 but with2017 that are expected to open for sale and have an estimated year of first delivery of 20172018 or later, as well as lots controlled as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and parcels of undeveloped land held for future sale. Certain lots controlled are under land banking arrangements which may become owned and produce deliveries during 2016.2017. Actual homes at completion may change prior to the marketing and sales of homes in these projects and the sales price ranges for these projects are to be determined and will be based on current market conditions and other factors upon the commencement of active selling. There can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any of the controlled lots reflected in these amounts.
(11)Represents a parcel of undeveloped land held for future sale. It is unknown when the Company plans to develop homes on this land.
Income Taxes
See Note 9 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a description of the Company’s income taxes.



Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those which impact its most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, the Company’s most critical accounting policies are debtor in possession accounting; fresh start accounting; real estate inventories and cost of sales; impairment of real estate inventories; sales and profit recognition; variable interest entities; business combinations; and income taxes. Management believes that there have been no significant changes to these policies during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Although no significant changes have been made to the policy, the impairment of real estate inventories policy has been included below as to expand the definition of the Company's calculation of sales absorption rates.
Impairment of Real Estate Inventories
The Company accounts for its real estate inventories in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant & Equipment. ASC Topic 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on real estate inventories when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by real estate inventories are less than the carrying amount of such assets. Indicators of impairment include a decrease in demand for housing due to softening market conditions, competitive pricing pressures which reduce the average sales price of homes, which includes sales incentives for homebuyers, slowing sales absorption rates (calculated as net new homes orders divided by average sales locations for a given period), a decrease in home values in the markets in which the Company operates, significant decreases in gross margins and a decrease in project cash flows for a particular project.
For land and land under development, homes completed and under construction and model homes, the Company estimates expected cash flows at the project level by maintaining current budgets using recent historical information and current market assumptions. The Company updates project budgets and cash flows of each real estate project on a quarterly basis to determine whether the estimated remaining undiscounted future cash flows of the project are more or less than the carrying amount (net book value) of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are more than the net book value of the project, then there is no impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the asset, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and is written-down to its fair value. Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be bought


or sold in a current transaction between willing parties (i.e., other than a forced or liquidation sale). Management determines the estimated fair value of each project by determining the present value of estimated future cash flows at discount rates that are commensurate with the risk of each project. The estimation process involved in determining if assets have been impaired and in the determination of fair value is inherently uncertain because it requires estimates of future revenues and costs, current market yields as well as future events and conditions. As described more fully above in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 entitled “Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales,” estimates of revenues and costs are supported by the Company’s budgeting process.
Under FASB ASC Topic 360, when indicators of impairment are present the Company is required to make certain assumptions to estimate undiscounted future cash flows of a project, which include: (i) estimated sales prices, including sales incentives, (ii) anticipated sales absorption rates and sales volume, (iii) project costs incurred to date and the estimated future costs of the project based on the project budget, (iv) the carrying costs related to the time a project is actively selling until it closes the final unit in the project, and (v) alternative strategies including selling the land to a third-party or temporarily suspending development on the project. During the period ended September 30, 2016, no indicators of impairment were noted by the Company.
The assumptions and judgments used by the Company in the estimation process to determine the future undiscounted cash flows of a project and its fair value are inherently uncertain and require a substantial degree of judgment. The realization of the Company’s real estate inventories is dependent upon future uncertain events and market conditions. Due to the subjective nature of the estimates and assumptions used in determining the future cash flows of a project, the continued decline in the current housing market, the uncertainty in the banking and credit markets, actual results could differ materially from current estimates.
These estimates are dependent on specific market or sub-market conditions for each subdivision. While the Company considers available information to determine what it believes to be its best estimates as of the end of a reporting period, these estimates are subject to change in future reporting periods as facts and circumstances change. Local market-specific conditions that may impact these estimates for a subdivision include:
historical subdivision results, and actual operating profit, base selling prices and home sales incentives;
forecasted operating profit for homes in backlog;
the intensity of competition within a market or sub-market, including publicly available home sales prices and home sales incentives offered by our competitors;
increased levels of home foreclosures;
the current sales pace for active subdivisions;
subdivision specific attributes, such as location, availability of lots in the sub-market, desirability and uniqueness of subdivision location and the size and style of homes currently being offered;
changes by management in the sales strategy of a given subdivision; and
current local market economic and demographic conditions and related trends and forecasts.
These and other local market-specific conditions that may be present are considered by personnel in the Company’s homebuilding divisions as they prepare or update the forecasted assumptions for each subdivision. Quantitative and qualitative factors other than home sales prices could significantly impact the potential for future impairments. The sales objectives can differ among subdivisions, even within a given sub-market. For example, facts and circumstances in a given subdivision may lead the Company to price its homes with the objective of yielding a higher sales absorption pace, while facts and circumstances in another subdivision may lead the Company to price its homes to minimize deterioration in home gross margins, even though this could result in a slower sales absorption pace. Furthermore, the key assumptions included in estimated future undiscounted cash flows may be interrelated. For example, a decrease in estimated base sales price or an increase in home sales incentives may result in a corresponding increase in sales absorption pace. Additionally, a decrease in the average sales price of homes to be sold and closed in future reporting periods for one subdivision that has not been generating what management believes to be an adequate sales absorption pace may impact the estimated cash flow assumptions of a nearby subdivision. Changes in key assumptions, including estimated construction and land development costs, absorption pace, selling strategies or discount rates could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates. Due to the number of possible scenarios that would result from various changes in these factors, the Company does not believe it is possible to develop a sensitivity analysis with a level of precision that would be meaningful to an investor.
Management assesses land deposits for impairment when estimated land values are deemed to be less than the agreed upon contract price. The Company considers changes in market conditions, the timing of land purchases, the ability to renegotiate with land sellers the terms of the land option contract in question, the availability and best use of capital, and other


factors. If land values are determined to be less than the contract price, the future project will not be purchased. The Company records abandoned land deposits and related pre-acquisition costs to cost of sales-land in the consolidated statement of operations in the period that it is abandoned.
The Company evaluates homebuilding assets for impairment when indicators of impairments are present. Indicators of potential impairment include, but are not limited to, a decrease in housing market values, sales absorption rates, and sales prices. On February 24, 2012, the Company adopted fresh start accounting under ASC 852, Reorganizations, and recorded all real estate inventories at fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were no impairment charges recorded. During the period ended September 30, 2016, no indicators of impairment were noted by the Company.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the Company’s floating rate debt with a total outstanding balance at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 of $226.9163.4 million where the interest rate is variable based upon certain bank reference or prime rates. The average prime rate during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was 3.50%ranged between 3.75% and 4.25%. Based upon the amount of variable rate debt held by the Company, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the amount of interest expense incurred by the Company by approximately $2.3$1.6 million.
The following table presents principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, interest rates and the estimated fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 (dollars in thousands):
