Interest Expense
 
In our communities accounted for using the completed contract method of accounting, we determine interest expense on a specific lot-by-lot basis, and for land sales we determine interest expense on a parcel-by-parcel basis. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense varies depending on many factors, including the period of time that we owned the land, the length of time that the homes delivered during the period were under construction, and the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by us in proportion to the amount of our inventory during those periods.
 
For projects that used the percentage of completion method of accounting, interest expense was determined based on the total estimated interest for the project and the percentage of total estimated construction costs that had been incurred. Any change in the estimated interest expense for the project was applied to current and future periods from the date the estimate was made.
 
Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.2% in fiscal 2007, as compared to 2.0% in fiscal 2006.

INTEREST EXPENSE
 
In our traditional homebuilding operations, we determine interest expense on a specific lot-by-lot basis, and for land sales, on a parcel-by-parcel basis. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense varies depending on many factors, including the period of time that we owned the land, the length of time that the homes delivered during the period were under construction, and the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by us in proportion to the amount of our inventory during those periods.
 
For projects using the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition, interest expense is determined based on the total estimated interest for the project and the percentage of total estimated construction costs that have been incurred to date. Any change in the estimated interest expense for the project is applied to current and future periods.

Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.7% of total revenues in the nine-month period ended July 31, 2008, as compared to 2.2% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.9% of total revenues in the three-month period ended July 31, 2008, as compared to 2.2% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The increase in interest expense as a percentage of revenues for both periods is due to the added length of time that the homes delivered in fiscal 2008 remained in inventory and accumulated additional capitalized interest. In addition, as our inventory has been reduced, there is less available inventory to which we allocate the interest incurred.

Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.7% of total revenues in the six-month period ended April 30, 2008, as compared to 2.2% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.8% of total revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, as compared to 2.3% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The increase in interest expense as a percentage of revenues for both periods is due to the added length of time that the homes delivered in 2008 remained in inventory and accumulated additional capitalized interest. In addition, as our inventory has been reduced, there is less available inventory to allocate the interest incurred.
 
The guidance we provided on June 3, 2008 stated that, for the full 2008 fiscal year, we believe that interest expense as a percentage of revenues will be slightly higher as a percentage of revenues than the percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
