TRI POINTE HOMES, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.

Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family homes through its portfolio of six quality brands across eight states, including Maracay Homes in Arizona, Pardee Homes in California and Nevada, Quadrant Homes in Washington, Trendmaker Homes in Texas, TRI Pointe Homes in California and Colorado and Winchester Homes in Maryland and Virginia.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as described in “Reverse Acquisition” below, as well as other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represent the outside owners interests in the Company’s consolidated entities and the net equity of the VIE owners.  All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included.

The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “TRI Pointe”, “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company” refer to TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (and its consolidated subsidiaries). Because the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are condensed, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Reverse Acquisition

On July 7, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. consummated the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of our wholly owned subsidiary, Topaz Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), with and into Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”), with WRECO surviving the Merger and becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2013 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among us, Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”), WRECO and Merger Sub. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, WRECO is reflected as the predecessor and acquirer and therefore the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of WRECO for all periods presented and do not include the historical financial statements of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.

See Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, for further information on the Merger. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding WRECO common share was converted into 1.297 shares of TRI Pointe common stock. The historical issued and outstanding WRECO common shares (100,000,000 common shares for all periods presented prior to the Merger) have been recast (as 129,700,000 common shares of the Company for all periods prior to the Merger) in all periods presented to reflect this conversion.

- 7 -


Use of Estimates

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The update requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. We adopted ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015 and the adoption has no impact on our current or prior year financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue-recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the accounting standards codification, and some cost guidance related to construction-type and production-type contracts. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the approach for implementation and the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (“ASU 2014-15”), Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which requires management to evaluate, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, (“ASU 2015-02”), Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”. ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We believe the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The impact of ASU 2015-03 for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 would be a balance sheet reclassification of $22.9 million and $23.7 million of deferred loan costs on Senior Notes, currently included in Other Assets, which would be reclassified as a reduction to Senior Notes in the liabilities section of the balance sheet.

Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company

In the Merger, TRI Pointe issued 129,700,000 shares of TRI Pointe common stock to the former holders of WRECO common shares, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares. On the Closing Date, WRECO became a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the ownership of TRI Pointe common stock on a fully diluted basis was as follows: (i) the WRECO common shares held by former Weyerhaeuser shareholders were converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, 79.6% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe common stock, (ii) the TRI Pointe common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger represented 19.4% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe common stock, and (iii) the outstanding equity awards of WRECO and TRI Pointe employees represented the remaining 1.0% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe

- 8 -


common stock. On the Closing Date, the former direct parent entity of WRECO paid TRI Pointe $31.5 million in cash in accordance with the Transaction Agreement.  Following the Merger, WRECO changed its name to TRI Pointe Holdings, Inc.

Assumption of Senior Notes

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). Additionally, WRECO and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they guaranteed TRI Pointe’s obligations with respect to the Senior Notes. The Guarantors also entered into a joinder agreement to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2014, among WRECO, TRI Pointe, and the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Guarantors became parties to the Purchase Agreement. Additionally, TRI Pointe and the Guarantors entered into joinder agreements to the Registration Rights Agreements, dated as of June 13, 2014, among WRECO and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Senior Notes, pursuant to which TRI Pointe and the Guarantors were joined as parties to the Registration Rights Agreements.

The net proceeds of $861.3 million from the offering of the Senior Notes were deposited into two separate escrow accounts following the closing of the offering on June 13, 2014. Upon release of the escrowed funds on the Closing Date and prior to the consummation of the Merger, WRECO paid $743.7 million in cash to its former direct parent, which cash was retained by Weyerhaeuser and its subsidiaries (other than WRECO and its subsidiaries). The payment consisted of the $739.0 million Payment Amount (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) as well as $4.7 million in payment of all unpaid interest on the debt payable to Weyerhaeuser that accrued from November 3, 2013 to the Closing Date. The remaining $117.6 million of proceeds was retained by TRI Pointe.

Notes payable and other borrowings are stated at carrying value due to the limited amount of time since the notes payable and other borrowings were entered into prior to the Closing Date.

The Company determined the fair value of real estate inventories on a community-by-community basis primarily using a combination of market-comparable land transactions, land residual analysis and discounted cash flow models. The estimated fair value is significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices, sales pace, cancellation rates and construction and overhead costs. Such estimates must be made for each individual community and may vary significantly between communities.

The fair value of the acquired intangible asset was determined based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist. The $17.3 million intangible asset is related to the TRI Pointe Homes trade name which is deemed to have an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill is primarily attributed to expected synergies from combining WRECO’s and TRI Pointe’s existing businesses, including, but not limited to, expected cost synergies from overhead savings resulting from streamlining certain redundant corporate functions, improved operating efficiencies, including provision of certain corporate level administrative and support functions at a lower cost than was historically allocated to WRECO for such services by its former direct parent, and growth of ancillary operations in various markets as permitted under applicable law, including a mortgage business, a title company and other ancillary operations. The Company also anticipates opportunities for growth through expanded geographic and customer segment diversity and the ability to leverage additional brands.  The acquired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company has completed its business combination accounting as of March 31, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma operating results have been determined after adjusting the operating results of TRI Pointe to reflect the purchase accounting and other acquisition adjustments including interest expense associated with the debt used to fund a portion of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or other enhancements that we may achieve as a result of the Merger or the costs necessary to integrate the operations to achieve these cost savings and synergies. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations had the Merger been completed at the beginning of the period or be indicative of the results we will achieve in the future.

Segment Information

Our operations consist of six homebuilding companies that acquire and develop land and construct and sell single-family homes.  In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , in determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross profits, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results, and underlying demand and supply.  Based on our aggregation analysis, we have not exercised any aggregation of our operating segments, which are represented by the following six reportable segments: Maracay, consisting of operations in Arizona; Pardee, consisting of operations in California and Nevada; Quadrant, consisting of operations in Washington; Trendmaker, consisting of operations in Texas; TRI Pointe, consisting of operations in California and Colorado; and Winchester, consisting of operations in Maryland and Virginia.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our homebuilding reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions, such as marketing, legal, accounting, treasury, insurance and risk management, information technology and human resources, to benefit from economies of scale. Our Corporate non-operating segment also includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate is allocated to the homebuilding reporting segments.

The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as our consolidated financial statements described in Note 1. Operational results of each reportable segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Impairments of homebuilding assets and related charges relate primarily to projects or communities held for development. Within a community that is held for development, there may be individual homes or parcels of land that are currently held for sale. Impairment charges recognized as a result of adjusting individual held-for-sale assets within a community to estimated fair value less cost to sell are also included in the total impairment charges above.

In addition to owning land and residential lots, we also have option agreements to purchase land and lots at a future date. We have option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the optioned land and lots. When the economics of a project no longer support acquisition of the land or lots under option, we may elect not to move forward with the acquisition. Option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the assets under option may be forfeited at that time. Charges for such forfeitures are expensed to cost of sales.

Variable Interest Entities

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option agreements in order to procure land and residential lots for future development and the construction of homes. The use of such land option agreements generally allows us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, and reduces our capital and financial commitments. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such deposits are recorded as land purchase and land option deposits under real estate inventories not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

We analyze each of our land option agreements and other similar contracts under the provisions of ASC 810 to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, if we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our financial statements and reflect its assets as real estate inventory not owned included in our real estate inventories, its liabilities as debt (nonrecourse) held by VIEs in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the net equity of the VIE owners as noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Such activities would include, among other things, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE.

Creditors of the entities with which we have land option agreements have no recourse against us. The maximum exposure to loss under our land option agreements is limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. In some cases, we have also contracted to complete development work at a fixed cost on behalf of the land owner and budget shortfalls and savings will be borne by us.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured $425 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with various lenders, with one lender serving as the administrative agent for the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2018, and contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 2.15% to 2.85%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $309.4 million with an interest rate of 2.73% per annum and $103.8 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  Accrued interest related to the Credit Facility was $567,000 as of March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015 we had outstanding letters of credit of $11.8 million.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Seller Financed Loans

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $12.8 million outstanding related to seller financed loans to acquire lots for the construction of homes.  Principal and interest payments on these loans are due at various maturity dates, including at the time individual homes associated with the acquired land are delivered.  The seller financed loans accrue interest at a weighted average rate of 6.95% per annum, with interest calculated on a daily basis. Any remaining unpaid balance on these loans is due in May 2016.  Accrued interest on these loans were $654,000 as of March 31, 2015.

Interest Incurred

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred interest of $15.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to all notes payable, Senior Notes and debt payable to Weyerhaeuser outstanding during the period. Of the interest incurred, $15.2 million and $3.8 million was capitalized to inventory for the period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing and Senior Note discount costs of $1.2 million for the period ended March 31, 2015.  Accrued interest related to all outstanding debt at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $14.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Covenant Requirements

The Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These limitations are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including but not limited to (i) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Measurements

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

·

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

·

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

·

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A summary of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, related to our financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is set forth below (in thousands):

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value.

(1)

The estimated fair value of our receivables was based on the discounted value of the expected future cash flows using current rates for similar receivables. The book value of our receivables equaled the fair value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the short-term nature of the remaining receivables.

(2)

The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is based on quoted market prices.

(3)

We believe that the carrying value of our notes payable and other borrowings approximates fair value.

Fair Value of Nonfinancial Assets

Nonfinancial assets include items such as real estate inventories and long-lived assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate the carrying value is not recoverable.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been and may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, we are subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.

We record a reserve for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates when necessary.

- 19 -


In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, we generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. Accordingly, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any matter, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual was made, could be material to our financial statements.

Warranty

Warranty reserves are accrued as home deliveries occur. Our warranty reserves on homes delivered will vary based on product type and geographic area and also depending on state and local laws. The warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and represents expected future costs based on our historical experience over previous years. Estimated warranty costs are charged to cost of home sales in the period in which the related home sales revenue is recognized.

We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from construction-related claims. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations. However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy. Included in our warranty reserve accrual are allowances to cover our estimated costs of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts under these policies and estimated costs for claims that may not be covered by applicable insurance or indemnities.  Estimation of these accruals include consideration of our claims history, including current claims and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported.  In addition, we record expected recoveries from insurance carriers when proceeds are probable and estimable.  Outstanding warranty insurance receivables were $9.7 million and $10.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Warranty insurance receivables are recorded in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

There can be no assurance that the terms and limitations of the limited warranty will be effective against claims made by homebuyers, that we will be able to renew our insurance coverage or renew it at reasonable rates, that we will not be liable for damages, cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding possible construction defects, soil subsidence or building related claims or that claims will not arise out of uninsurable events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with certain subcontractors.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding surety bonds totaling $409.9 million and $355.2 million, respectively. The beneficiaries of the bonds are various municipalities.

Stock-Based Compensation

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company’s stock compensation plan, the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”), was adopted by legacy TRI Pointe in January 2013 and amended with the approval of our stockholders in 2014. The 2013 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. The 2013 Incentive Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2013 Incentive Plan at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

- 20 -


As amended, the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Incentive Plan is 11,727,833 shares. To the extent that shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of our common stock generally shall again be available under the 2013 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2015 there were 9,498,660 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan.

Converted Awards

Under the Transaction Agreement, each outstanding Weyerhaeuser equity award held by an employee of WRECO was converted into a similar equity award with TRI Pointe, based on the final exchange ratio of 2.1107 (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-197461) on July 16, 2014 to register 4,105,953 shares related to these equity awards. The converted awards have the same terms and conditions as the Weyerhaeuser equity awards except that all performance share units were surrendered in exchange for time-vesting restricted stock units without any performance-based vesting conditions or requirements and the exercise price of each converted stock option is equal to the original exercise price divided by the Exchange Ratio. There will be no future grants under the WRECO equity incentive plans. Refer to TRI Pointe’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (Registration No. 333-193248), for additional information on the Merger, the option exchange ratio and the treatment of equity awards under the Transaction Agreement.

On March 5, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 440,800 restricted stock units to employees and officers. The restricted stock units granted vest annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each restricted stock award granted on March 5, 2015 was measured using a price of $14.97 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant.  Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On March 9, 2015, the Company granted 411,804, 384,351, and 274,536 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, with 1/3 of the performance-based RSU amounts being allocated to each of the three following separate performance goals: total shareholder return (compared to a group of similarly sized homebuilders); earnings per share; and stock price. The performance-based restricted stock units granted will vest in each case, if at all, based on the percentage of attainment of the applicable performance goal. The performance periods for the performance-based RSUs with vesting based on total shareholder return and earnings per share are January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. The performance period for the performance-based RSUs with vesting based on stock price is January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the total shareholder return and stock price performance goals was determined to be $7.55 and $7.90 per share, respectively, based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the earnings per share goal was measured using a price of $14.57 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each grant will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period.

As restricted stock units vest, a portion of the shares awarded is generally withheld to cover employee taxes. As a result, the number of restricted stock units vested and the number of shares of TRI Pointe common stock issued will differ.

17.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.  Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740.  We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable.  Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives.

We had net deferred tax assets of $155.8 million and $157.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $4.6 million and $6.2 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between the Company's future operating results and the estimates utilized in the determination of the valuation allowance, could result in changes in the Company's estimate of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets.

- 22 -


Our provision for income taxes totaled $7.8 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense.  The Company had $14.7 million and $13.8 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recorded as of March 31 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.

18.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to the Merger, WRECO was a wholly owned subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser.  Weyerhaeuser provided certain services including payroll processing and related employee benefits, other corporate services such as corporate governance, cash management and other treasury services, administrative services such as government relations, tax, internal audit, legal, accounting, human resources and equity-based compensation plan administration, lease of office space, aviation services and insurance coverage. WRECO was allocated a portion of Weyerhaeuser corporate general and administrative costs on either a proportional cost or usage basis.

Weyerhaeuser-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses were as follows (in thousands):

20.   Supplemental Guarantor Information

On the Closing Date, the Company assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of the Senior Notes.  Additionally, all of TRI Pointe’s wholly owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Company’s unsecured $425 million revolving credit facility, including WRECO and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they jointly and severally guaranteed TRI Pointe’s obligations with respect to the Senior Notes.

Presented below are the condensed consolidating balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.  TRI Pointe’s non-guarantor

- 23 -


subsidiaries represent less than 3% on an individual and aggregate basis of consolidated total assets, total revenues, income from operations before taxes and cash flow from operating activities.  Therefore, the non-guarantor subsidiaries’ information is not separately presented in the tables below.

As discussed in Note 1, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” with WRECO being considered the accounting acquirer.  Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the historical results of WRECO for all periods and do not include the historical financial information of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date.  Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.   As a result, we have not included condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 because those results are of WRECO and are already included on the face of the consolidated financial statements.  In addition, there is no financial information for legacy TRI Pointe, issuer of the Senior Notes, in the periods prior to the Closing Date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements relating to future events of our intentions, beliefs, expectations, predictions for the future and other matters that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These statements:

·

use forward-looking terminology;

·

are based on various assumptions made by TRI Pointe; and

·

may not prove to be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding the assumptions that are made.

Factors listed in this section – as well as other factors not included – may cause actual results to differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will occur, or if any of the events occurs, there is no guarantee of what effect it will have on our operations or financial condition.

We will not update the forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise required by law.

Forward-Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, including, without limitation, our transaction with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected benefits of the WRECO transaction, integration plans and expected synergies therefrom, and our anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including our estimates for growth.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of factors, including the expected effect of:

·

the economy;

·

laws and regulations;

·

adverse litigation outcome and the adequacy of reserves;

·

changes in accounting principles;

·

projected benefit payments; and

·

projected tax rates and credits.

Risks, Uncertainties and Assumptions

The major risks and uncertainties – and assumptions that are made – that affect our business and may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

·

the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, housing starts, interest rate levels, availability of financing for home mortgages and strength of the U.S. dollar;

·

market demand for our products, which is related to the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions;

·

levels of competition;

·

the successful execution of our internal performance plans, including restructuring and cost reduction initiatives;

·

global economic conditions;

- 28 -


·

raw material prices;

·

energy prices;

·

the effect of weather, including the continuing drought in California;

·

the risk of loss from earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods, droughts, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestations and other natural disasters;

·

transportation costs;

·

federal and state tax policies;

·

the effect of land use, environment and other governmental regulations;

·

legal proceedings;

·

risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects;

·

the risk that disruptions from the transaction with WRECO will harm our business;

·

our ability to achieve the benefits of the transaction with WRECO in the estimated amount and the anticipated timeframe, if at all;

·

our ability to integrate WRECO successfully and to achieve the anticipated synergies therefrom;

·

change in accounting principles;

·

risks related to unauthorized access to our computer systems, theft of our customer’s confidential information or other forms of cyber-attack; and

·

other factors described in “Risk Factors.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TRI Pointe” and “the Company” refer to TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our securities. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. The section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar disclosures in our other SEC filings, discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in, or maintain your investment in, our common stock.

Reverse Acquisition

On July 7, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. consummated the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of our wholly owned subsidiary, Topaz Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), with and into Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”), with WRECO surviving the Merger and becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2013 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among us, Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”), the Company, WRECO and Merger Sub. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, WRECO is reflected as the predecessor and acquirer and therefore the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of WRECO for all periods presented and do not include the historical financial statements of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.

For further information on the Merger, see Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company , of the condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  In the Merger, each issued and outstanding WRECO common share was converted into 1.297 shares of TRI Pointe common stock. The historical issued and outstanding WRECO common shares (100,000,000 common shares for all periods presented prior to the Merger) have been recast (as 129,700,000 common shares of the Company for all periods prior to the Merger) in all periods presented to reflect this conversion.

Net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 79% to 1,194, compared to 667 during the prior year period.  The increase in net new home orders was partly due to an increase in our monthly absorption rate in all except for one segment reported in the prior year period.  Our overall absorption rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 10.6 per average selling community (3.5 monthly), compared to 7.4 per average selling community (2.5 monthly) during the prior year period.  The increase in net new home orders, average selling communities and monthly absorption rate was due in part to the addition of TRI Pointe, which had 336 orders, 26.3 average selling communities and an absorption rate of 4.3 per average selling community in the three months ended March 31, 2015 with no comparable amounts in the prior year period.   Net new home orders increased at all segments except for Trendmaker, which experienced a decrease as a result of a slowdown in the premium housing market in Houston driven by the uncertainty around oil prices.

Backlog units reflects the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a customer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. Homes in backlog are generally delivered within three to nine months, although we may experience cancellations of sales contracts prior to delivery. Our cancellation rate of buyers who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow (as a percentage of overall orders) was 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 15% during the prior year period. The dollar value of backlog was $943.4 million as of March 31, 2015, an increase of $348.8 million, or 59%, compared to $594.6 million as of March 31, 2014.  This increase is due to an increase in the number of homes in backlog of 502, or 48%, to 1,558 homes as of March 31, 2015 from 1,056 homes as of March 31, 2014, in addition to an increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog of $42,000, or 8%, to $605,000 as of March 31, 2015 compared to $563,000 as of March 31, 2014.  The increase in the number of homes in backlog and the average sales price of homes in backlog was mainly the result of the addition of TRI Pointe, which had 440 homes in backlog and an average sales price in backlog of $735,000 as of March 31, 2015.  In addition to the increases associated with TRI Pointe in the current year period, backlog dollar value increased at four of our reporting segments existing in the prior year period, with the exception of Winchester.

Home sales revenue increased $132.4 million, or 55%, to $374.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $241.9 million for the prior year period. The increase was comprised of: (i) $89.6 million related to an increase in average sales price of $84,000 per home to $560,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $476,000 in the prior year period; and (ii) $42.7 million due to a 31% increase in homes delivered to 668 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 508 in the prior year period. The increase in the average sales price and new home deliveries was primarily attributable to the addition of TRI Pointe with no comparable amounts in the prior year period. In addition, the average sales price of homes delivered increased at all but one of our reporting segments due to a change in product mix with a shift to a more move-up product in certain markets and price increases in certain markets.  The average sales price at Winchester declined for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a change in product mix.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).

Our homebuilding gross margin percentage decreased to 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 20.9% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to increases in land, labor and material costs outpacing home price appreciation. Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 21.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 22.5% for the prior year period. The decrease in the adjusted homebuilding gross margin was consistent with the change in non-adjusted homebuilding gross margin.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and noncash charges have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to homebuilding gross margin, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Sales and marketing expense decreased to 6.2% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 8.6% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 mainly due to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe which has a lower sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue due to a strong sales absorption pace and higher average sales prices per community.  Sales and marketing expense increased $2.4 million, or 11%, to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $20.9 million for the prior year period.  The increase in sales and marketing expense was related primarily to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, representing $4.8 million of sales and marketing expenses, with no comparable amounts in the prior year period.  This amount was offset by decreases in each of the existing segments for the three months ending March 31, 2015 compared to the same prior year period.

General and administrative expense increased by $10.2 million to $28.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $18.0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.   General and administrative expenses were 7.5% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 7.4% of home sales revenue for the same period in the prior year.  The slight increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue is due primarily to employee related costs.

Total sales and marketing and G&A (“SG&A”) expense increased $12.6 million, or 32%, to $51.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $38.9 million in the prior year period, but improved to 13.8% of home sales revenue from 16.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

- 32 -


Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges decreased to $222,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to higher employee-related restructuring costs in 2014, largely related to severance and related costs in connection with the Merger.

Interest

Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $15.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The capitalized portion of interest incurred was $15.2 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The increase in interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in our outstanding debt and higher interest rates as a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes in connection with the Merger.

Income Tax

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a tax provision of $7.8 million based on an effective tax rate of 33.8%.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a tax provision of $4.5 million based on an effective tax rate of 37.4%. The increase in our provision for income tax was primarily the result of the $11.0 million increase in income before income taxes to $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $12.1 million in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were operating expenses, land purchases, land development and home construction. We used funds generated by our operations and available borrowings to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in our homebuilding operations and acquiring desirable land positions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and keep us poised for growth. As of March 31, 2015, we had $106.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe we have sufficient cash and sources of financing for at least the next twelve months.

- 33 -


Our board of directors will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our assets and the ability of particular assets, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service. Our charter does not contain a limitation on the amount of debt we may incur and our board of directors may change our target debt levels at any time without the approval of our stockholders.

Assumption of Senior Notes

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 2019 Notes were issued at 98.89% of their aggregate principal amount and the 2024 Notes were issued at 98.15% of their aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds of $861.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts, from the offering were deposited into two separate escrow accounts following the closing of the offering on June 13, 2014. Upon release of the escrowed funds on the Closing Date, and prior to the consummation of the Merger, WRECO paid $743.7 million in cash to the former direct parent entity of WRECO, which cash was retained by Weyerhaeuser and its subsidiaries (other than WRECO and its subsidiaries). The payment consisted of the $739 million Payment Amount (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) as well as $4.7 million in payment of all unpaid interest on the debt payable to Weyerhaeuser that accrued from November 3, 2013 to the Closing Date. The remaining $117.6 million of proceeds was retained by TRI Pointe and used for general corporate purposes.

The 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.  As of March 31, 2015, no principal has been paid on the Senior Notes, and there was $22.9 million of capitalized debt financing costs related to the Senior Notes, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. These costs will amortize over the respective lives of the Senior Notes.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured $425 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with various lenders, with one lender serving as the administrative agent for the Facility. The Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2018, and contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to consolidated tangible net worth, leverage, and liquidity or interest coverage. Interest rates on borrowings will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 2.15% to 2.85% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2015 the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $309.4 million with an interest rate of 2.73% per annum and $103.8 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  At March 31, 2015 we had outstanding letters of credit of $ 11.8 million.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Seller Financed Loan

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $12.7 million outstanding related to seller financed loans to acquire lots for the construction of homes.  Principal and interest payments on these loans are due at various maturity dates, including at the time individual homes associated with the acquired land are delivered.  The seller financed loans will accrue interest at a weighted average rate of 6.95% per annum, with interest calculated on a daily basis. Any remaining unpaid balance on these loans is due in May 2016.

The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of total debt plus equity.

(2)

The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital.

Cash Flows—Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

·

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $83.1 million to $108.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from a use of $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The change was primarily comprised of (i) an increase in real estate inventories of $127.3 million in 2015 compared to an increase of $67.9 million in 2014, and (ii) an increase in receivables of $2.9 million in the current year period compared to collection of receivables of $25.0 million in the prior year period.  Other offsetting activity included offsetting swings in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, with a net impact of cash used of $6.5 million in the current year period compared to cash used of $10.4 million in the prior year period.

·

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the three month period ending March 31, 2015 compared to $2.1 million of cash used for the same prior year period. Cash used by investing activities for the prior year period was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment.

·

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $45.6 million for the three month period ending March 31, 2015 from $26.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily a result of borrowings from notes payable.

As of March 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $106.6 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes.  We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots.  These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices.  We generally have the right, at our discretion, to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller.  As of March 31, 2015, we had $42.2 million of cash deposits, the majority of which are non-refundable, pertaining to land option contracts and purchase contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $392.6 million (net of deposits).

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

As of March 31, 2015, we had $103.8 million of availability under our Credit Facility after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.

Inflation

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

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  We typically experience the highest new home order activity in spring and summer, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors.  Since it typically takes four to six months to construct a new home, we deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders convert to home deliveries.  Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of

- 36 -


the year.  We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate debt.  In addition, our operations are interest rate sensitive as higher mortgage interest rates could negatively affect housing demand.  We did not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure control objectives.

During the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risks Related to Our Business

Adverse weather and natural disasters may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for housing.

As a homebuilder and land developer, we are subject to the risks associated with numerous weather-related events and natural disasters that are beyond our control. These weather-related events and natural disasters include, but are not limited to, droughts, floods, wildfires, landslides, soil subsidence, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. The occurrence of any of these events could damage our land and projects, cause delays in, or prevent, completion of our projects, reduce consumer demand for housing, and cause shortages and price increases in labor or raw materials, any of which could materially and adversely affect our sales and profitability. We have substantial operations in Southern and Northern California that have historically experienced significant earthquake activity and seasonal wildfires. Our markets in Colorado have also experienced seasonal wildfires, floods and soil subsidence. In addition, our Washington market has historically experienced significant earthquake, volcanic and seismic activity and our Texas market occasionally experiences extreme weather conditions such as tornadoes and hurricanes.

In addition to directly damaging our land or projects, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, floods, wildfires or other natural events could damage roads and highways providing access to those assets or affect the desirability of our land or projects, thereby materially and adversely affecting our ability to market homes or sell land in those areas and possibly increasing the cost to complete construction of our homes.

There are some risks of loss for which we may be unable to purchase insurance coverage.  For example, losses associated with landslides, earthquakes and other geologic events may not be insurable and other losses, such as those arising from terrorism, may not be economically insurable.  A sizeable uninsured loss could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Continuing drought conditions in California and other areas in which we operate may negatively impact the economy, increase the risk of wildfires, cause us to incur additional costs, and delay or prevent new home deliveries.

Certain of the areas in which we operate, particularly in California, have experienced drought conditions from time to time. Continuing drought conditions could negatively impact the economy and environment as well as increase greatly the risk of wildfires.

Last year, the Governor of California proclaimed a Drought State of Emergency warning that drought conditions may place drinking water supplies at risk in many California communities. In April 2015, the Governor issued an executive order that, among other things, directs the State Water Resources Control Board to implement mandatory water reductions in cities and towns across California to reduce water usage by 25 percent and to prohibit irrigation with potable water outside newly constructed homes that is not delivered by drip or micro-spray systems. The Governor's order also calls on local water agencies to adjust their rate structures to implement conservation pricing, directs the Department of Water Resources to update the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, and directs the California Energy Commission to adopt emergency regulations establishing standards to improve the efficiency of water appliances such as toilets and faucets. These and other measures that are instituted to respond to drought conditions could cause us to incur additional costs. In addition, new home deliveries in some areas may be delayed or prevented due to the unavailability of water, even when we have obtained water rights for those projects.

- 46 -


Utility shortages or price increases could have an adverse impact on operations.

Certain of the markets in which we operate, including California, have experienced power shortages, including mandatory periods without electrical power, as well as significant increases in utility costs. Reduced water supplies as a result of drought conditions may negatively affect electric power generation. Additionally, municipalities may restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. We may incur additional costs and may not be able to complete construction on a timely basis if such utility shortages, restrictions, moratoriums and rate increases continue. In addition, these utility issues may adversely affect the local economies in which we operate, which may reduce demand for housing in those markets. Our results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted if further utility shortages, restrictions, moratoriums or rate increases occur in our markets.
