(11) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. In addition, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 has tempered demand for new homes. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding finished inventory or homebuilding construction in process. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
AMREP Corporation (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: land development and homebuilding. The Company has no foreign sales or activities outside the United States. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the Company and its subsidiaries. The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The information contained in this Item 2 should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2023 and 2022 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2023 and 2022.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the accounting policies used and disclosed in the 2022 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and included as part of the 2022 Form 10-K and in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of those condensed consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts or results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
12
The Company’s critical accounting policies, assumptions and estimates are described in Item 7 of Part II of the 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in these critical accounting policies.
Information concerning the Company’s implementation and the impact of recent accounting standards or updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2022 Form 10-K. The Company did not adopt any accounting policy in the three months ended July 31, 2022 that had a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company had net income of $1,912,000, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1,637,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2021.

During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues per lot and per home. In addition, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 has tempered demand for new homes. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding finished inventory or homebuilding construction in process. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.
| ● | Land sale revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2022 were lower than the three months ended July 31, 2021 by $2,018,000 primarily due to reduced availability of developed residential lots for sale partially as a result of supply chain constraints, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections. The Company’s land sale revenues were as follows (dollars in thousands): |

The change in the average selling price per acre of developed residential land for the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily due to the location and mix of lots sold.
| ● | Home sale revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2022 were higher than the three months ended July 31, 2021 by $3,028,000 due to the growth of the Company’s homebuilding operations partially offset by supply chain constraints, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections. The Company’s home sale revenues consist of: |

Homes sold | 11 | 8 | ||||

Cost of Revenues. The following presents information on cost of revenues for the Company’s operations (dollars in thousands):

Land sale cost of revenues | $ | 3,832 | $ | 5,610 |
| (32) | % | ||
Home sale cost of revenues |

| 91 | % | ||
| ● | Land sale cost of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2022 was lower than the three months ended July 31, 2021 by $1,778,000. Land sale gross margin was 26% for the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to 22% for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the location, size and mix of property sold and the demand for lots by builders resulting in higher revenue per developed lot. As a result of many factors, including the nature and timing of specific transactions and the type and location of land being sold, revenues, average selling prices and related average gross margin from land sales can vary significantly from period to period and prior results are not necessarily a good indication of what may occur in future periods. |
| ● | Home sale cost of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2022 were higher than the three months ended July 31, 2021 by $1,749,000 due to the growth of the Company’s homebuilding operations. Home sale gross margins were 33% for the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to 21% for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the location and mix of homes sold and to efficiencies gained during the growth of the Company’s homebuilding operations. |

The Company did not record any non-cash impairment charges on real estate inventory or investment assets for the three months ended July 31, 2022 or July 31, 2021. Due to volatility in market conditions and development costs, the Company may experience future impairment charges. |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
AMREP Corporation is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries. As a holding company, AMREP Corporation is dependent on its available cash and on cash from subsidiaries to pay expenses and fund operations. The Company’s liquidity is affected by many factors, including some that are based on normal operations and some that are related to the real estate industry and the economy generally.
The Company’s primary sources of funding for working capital requirements are cash flow from operations, bank financing for specific real estate projects, a revolving line of credit and existing cash balances. Land and homebuilding properties generally cannot be sold quickly, and the ability of the Company to sell properties has been and will continue to be affected by market conditions. The ability of the Company to generate cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell the properties it has selected for disposition at the prices and within the timeframes the Company has established for each property. The development of additional lots for sale, construction of homes or pursuing other real estate projects may require financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms (or at all). If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources as reflected in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended July 31, 2022 was higher than the three months ended July 31, 2021 by $4,728,000 primarily due to an increase in the Company’s net income and the amount of change during each period in real estate inventory and investment assets and in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Statement of Forward-Looking Information
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking”, including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s shareholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of the Company. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (1) the Company’s ability to finance its future working capital, land development, homebuilding and capital expenditure needs, (2) the Company’s expected liquidity sources, (3) the utilization of existing bank financing, (4) the market conditions impacting the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022, (5) the backlog of homes under contract and in production and the dollar amount of expected sales revenues when such homes are closed, (6) the timing of recognizing unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of common stock issued under the AMREP Corporation 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, (7) the future issuance of deferred stock units to directors of the Company and (8) the future business conditions that may be experienced by the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s system of internal control over “financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
