Revenues and Costs — Percentage of Completion
 
We were developing several projects for which we recognized revenues and costs using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Revenues and costs of individual projects were recognized on the individual project’s aggregate value of units for which home buyers had signed binding agreements of sale and were based on the percentage of total estimated construction costs that had been incurred. Total estimated revenues and construction costs were reviewed periodically, and any changes were applied to current and future periods. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, we recognized $139.5 million and $170.1 million of revenues, respectively, and $109.0 million and $132.3 million of costs, respectively, on these projects. In fiscal 2007, cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues recognized of 78.1% was slightly higher than the fiscal 2006 percentage of 77.8%. The increase was due primarily to cost increases and a change in the mix of revenues recognized in fiscal 2007 to more costly projects. In fiscal 2007, we delivered $263.3 million (336 homes) in projects for which we are using the percentage of completion method of accounting.
 
At October 31, 2007, our backlog of homes in communities that we accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $30.2 million (net of $55.2 million of revenue recognized) compared to $154.3 million at October 31, 2006 (net of $170.1 million of revenue recognized). The decline in the backlog at October 31, 2007 was primarily the result of the recognition of revenues and a decline in contracts signed.
 
Revenues
and Costs — Percentage of Completion



 



We were developing several projects for which we recognized
revenues and costs using the percentage of completion method of
accounting. Revenues and costs of individual projects were
recognized on the individual project’s aggregate value of
units for which home buyers had signed binding agreements of
sale and were based on the percentage of total estimated
construction costs that had been incurred. Total estimated
revenues and construction costs were reviewed periodically, and
any changes were applied to current and future periods. In
fiscal 2007 and 2006, we recognized $139.5 million and
$170.1 million of revenues, respectively, and
$109.0 million and $132.3 million of costs,
respectively, on these projects. In fiscal 2007, cost of
revenues as a percentage of revenues recognized of 78.1% was
slightly higher than the fiscal 2006 percentage of 77.8%.
The increase was due primarily to cost increases and a change in
the mix of revenues recognized in fiscal 2007 to more costly
projects. In fiscal 2007, we delivered $263.3 million (336
homes) in projects for which we are using the percentage of
completion method of accounting.


 



At October 31, 2007, our backlog of homes in communities
that we accounted for using the percentage of completion method
of accounting was $30.2 million (net of $55.2 million
of revenue recognized) compared to $154.3 million at
October 31, 2006 (net of $170.1 million of revenue
recognized). The decline in the backlog at October 31, 2007
was primarily the result of the recognition of revenues and a
decline in contracts signed.

REVENUES AND COSTS — PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION
 
In the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $39.1 million and $110.9 million of revenues, respectively, and $32.2 million and $87.5 million of costs (excluding interest), respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. In the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $5.6 million and $29.4 million of revenues, respectively, and $4.7 million and $24.3 million of costs, respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. At July 31, 2008, our backlog of homes in communities that we account for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $7.4 million (net of $4.3 million of revenue recognized), as compared to $75.9 million at July 31, 2007 (net of $48.1 million of revenue recognized). This decline in backlog at July 31, 2008 was primarily the result of the delivery of units, the continued recognition of revenue and a high number of contract cancellations, offset, in part, by new contracts signed. We expect that this decline will continue as we recognize revenues, and sell out of existing projects without replacing them with new projects that qualify under the accounting rules for the application of the percentage of completion accounting method.

REVENUES AND COSTS — PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION
 
In the six-month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $33.5 million and $81.5 million of revenues, respectively, and $27.5 million and $63.3 million of costs, respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. In the three-month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $17.7 million and $48.4 million of revenues, respectively, and $14.6 million and $37.4 million of costs, respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. At April 30, 2008, our backlog of homes in communities that we account for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $11.4 million (net of $4.9 million of revenue recognized) compared to $102.1 million at April 30, 2007 (net of $74.1 million of revenue recognized). The decline in the backlog at April 30, 2008 was primarily the result of the delivery of units, the continued recognition of revenue and a high number of contract cancellations, offset, in part, by new contracts signed. We expect that this decline will continue as we recognize revenues, and sell out of existing projects without replacing them with new projects that qualify under the accounting rules for the application of the percentage of completion accounting method.

REVENUES AND COSTS — PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION
 
In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $15.8 million and $33.1 million of revenues, respectively, and $12.9 million and $25.9 million of costs, respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. At January 31, 2008, our backlog of homes in communities that we account for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $16.6 million (net of $24.3 million of revenue recognized) compared to $138.7 million at January 31, 2007 (net of $166.9 million of revenue recognized). The decline in the backlog at January 31, 2008 was primarily the result of the delivery of units, the continued recognition of revenue and a high number of contract cancellations, offset, in part, by new contracts signed. During the fiscal 2008 period, revenue, contracts and backlog were negatively impacted by eight contract cancellations from one project located in our South segment. We expect that this decline will continue as we recognize revenues, and sell out of existing projects without replacing them with new projects that qualify under the accounting rules for the application of the percentage of completion accounting method.

At October 31, 2007, our backlog of homes in communities that we account for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $30.2 million (net of $55.2 million of revenue recognized) compared to $154.3 million at October 31, 2006 (net of $170.1 million of revenue recognized). The decline in the backlog at October 31, 2007 is primarily the result of the recognition of revenues and a decline in contracts signed. We expect that this decline will continue as we recognize revenues in the two remaining projects where we use percentage of completion accounting, and as we sell out of these projects without replacing them with new ones that qualify under the accounting rules for the application of the percentage of completion accounting method.
