TRI POINTE GROUP, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.

Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

TRI Pointe Group is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family attached and detached 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.

Formation of TRI Pointe Group

On July 7, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes reorganized its corporate structure (the “Reorganization”) whereby TRI Pointe Homes became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group.  As a result of the Reorganization, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Homes (“Homes Common Stock”) was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Group (“Group Common Stock”), each share having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof as the shares of Homes Common Stock being so converted.  TRI Pointe Group, as the successor issuer to TRI Pointe Homes (pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act), began making filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act on July 7, 2015.

In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group (i) became a co-issuer of TRI Pointe Homes’ 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and TRI Pointe Homes’ 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”); and (ii) replaced TRI Pointe Homes as the borrower under TRI Pointe Homes’ existing unsecured revolving credit facility.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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.  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.

Reverse Acquisition

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe consummated the Merger with WRECO, with WRECO becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in our consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year and it is now effective for public entities for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09.  Early adoption is permitted, but can be no earlier than the original public entity effective date of fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  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.  We adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 and the adoption had no impact on our current or prior year financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, (“ASU 2015-17”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of position.  ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842): Leases , which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, (“ASU 2016-09”), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

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 upon the above factors, our homebuilding operations are comprised of the following six reportable segments: Maracay Homes, consisting of operations in Arizona; Pardee Homes, consisting of operations in California and Nevada; Quadrant Homes, consisting of operations in Washington; Trendmaker Homes, consisting of operations in Texas; TRI Pointe Homes, consisting of operations in California and Colorado; and Winchester Homes, consisting of operations in Maryland and Virginia.

Our financial services operation (“TRI Pointe Solutions”) is a reportable segment and is comprised of mortgage financing operations (“TRI Pointe Connect”) and title services operations (“TRI Pointe Assurance”).  While our homebuyers may obtain financing from any mortgage provider of their choice, TRI Pointe Connect, which was formed as a joint venture with an established mortgage lender, can act as a preferred mortgage broker to our homebuyers in all of the markets in which we operate, providing mortgage financing that helps facilitate the sale and closing process as well as generate additional fee income for us.  TRI Pointe Assurance provides title examinations for our homebuyers in our Trendmaker Homes and Winchester Homes brands.  TRI Pointe Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company.  We commenced our financial services operation in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The term “Corporate” refers to 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, internal audit 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, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . 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 real estate inventory relate primarily to projects or communities that include homes completed or under construction. Within a project or community, 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.  Charges for inventory impairments are expensed to cost of sales. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company did not incur any real estate inventory impairment charges.

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 Consolidation 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.

In May 2015, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $425 million to $550 million.  The Credit Facility matures on May 18, 2019, 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 1.45% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2016, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $374.4 million with an interest rate of 2.13% per annum and $170.3 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  As of March 31, 2016 there was $2.1 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in Other Assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Credit Facility that will amortize over the life of the Credit Facility, maturing on May 18, 2019.  Accrued interest related to the Credit Facility was $484,000 and $407,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing and Senior Note discount costs of $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Accrued interest related to all outstanding debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $13.9 million and $2.4 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

(2)

We believe that the carrying value of the Credit Facility approximates fair value based on the short term nature of the current market rate amended on May 18, 2015.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and receivables approximated 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. The following table presents impairment charges and the remaining net fair value for nonfinancial assets that were measured during the periods presented (in thousands):

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.

- 17 -


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 necessa ry.  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 m atter, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual was made, could be material to our financial statements.  For matters as to which the Company believes a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, it had legal reserves of $400,000 and $450,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

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 $10.4 million and $10.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.

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 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.

- 18 -


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 out standing 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, 2016 there were 7,637,283 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.

The intrinsic value of each stock option award outstanding or exercisable is the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of the period and the exercise price of each stock option award to the extent it is considered “in-the-money”. A stock option award is considered to be “in-the-money” if the fair market value of the Company’s stock is greater than the exercise price of the stock option award. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable represents the value that would have been received by the holders of stock option awards had they exercised their stock option award on the last trading day of the period and sold the underlying shares at the closing price on that day.

On March 5, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 440,800 time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU 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 peer homebuilding companies); earnings per share; and stock price. The performance-based RSUs 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 over the requisite service period.

On August 12, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 69,008 RSUs to the non-employee members of its board of directors. These RSUs vest in their entirety on the day immediately prior to the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of each RSU granted on August 12, 2015 was measured using $14.49 per share, which was the closing price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On March 1, 2016, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,120,677 time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU granted on March 1, 2016 was measured using a price of $10.49 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 1, 2016, the Company granted 297,426, 285,986 and 125,834 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the Company’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The percentage of these performance-based RSUs that vest will be determined by comparing the Company’s total stockholder return to the total stockholder returns of a group of peer homebuilding companies. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. These performance-based RSUs will not vest if the Company’s total stockholder return from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 is not a positive number, provided that the executive will thereafter become vested in the award units, or portion thereof, that would have otherwise vested on December 31, 2018 if on any day after December 31, 2018 and on or before December 31, 2020, the Company’s total stockholder return is greater than zero and the executive is employed by the Company on that date. If the performance-based RSUs have not vested on or before December 31, 2020, such performance-based RSUs shall be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration. The fair value of these performance-based RSUs was determined to be $4.76 per share based on a Monte Carlo simulation. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.

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

Income Taxes

We account 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 $126.8 million and $130.7 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $3.3 million and $4.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.

Our provision for income taxes totaled $15.5 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense.  The Company had $307,000 of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recorded as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.

17.

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.

TRI Pointe has certain liabilities with Weyerhaeuser related to a tax sharing agreement.   As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had an income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser of $9.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

On the Closing Date, the TRI Pointe Homes 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 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.  In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group became a co-issuer with TRI Pointe Homes of the Senior Notes.

Presented below are the condensed consolidating balance sheets at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.  TRI Pointe’s non-guarantor subsidiaries represent less than 3% on an individual and aggregate basis of consolidated total assets, total revenues, and 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, but included with the guarantor subsidiaries.

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 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

These statements:

·

use forward-looking terminology;

·

are based on various assumptions made by TRI Pointe; and

·

may not 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, financial condition or share price.

We will not update the forward-looking statements 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. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding 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 the 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;

·

raw material prices;

·

oil and other energy prices;

·

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

- 29 -


·

the risk of loss from earthquakes, volcano es, 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;

·

change in accounting principles;

·

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

·

other factors described in “Risk Factors.”

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 investors to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 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. Investors 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 an investment in, our common stock.

Reverse Acquisition and Formation of TRI Pointe Group

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe consummated the Merger with WRECO, with WRECO becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer.

On July 7, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes reorganized its corporate structure (the “Reorganization”) whereby TRI Pointe Homes became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group.  As a result of the Reorganization, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Homes (“Homes Common Stock”) was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Group (“Group Common Stock”), each share having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof as the shares of Homes Common Stock being so converted.  TRI Pointe Group, as the successor issuer to TRI Pointe Homes (pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act), began making filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act on July 7, 2015.

In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group (i) became a co-issuer of TRI Pointe Homes’ 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 and TRI Pointe Homes' 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024; and (ii) replaced TRI Pointe Homes as the borrower under TRI Pointe Homes’ existing unsecured revolving credit facility.

The business, executive officers and directors of TRI Pointe Group, and the rights and limitations of the holders of Group Common Stock immediately following the Reorganization were identical to the business, executive officers and directors of TRI Pointe Homes, and the rights and limitations of holders of Homes Common Stock immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by 45 units or 4% to 1,149, compared to 1,194 during the prior year period.  Net new home orders declined at Trendmaker Homes due to a decrease in average selling communities due to timing of community openings.  Quadrant Homes and TRI Pointe Homes experienced declines in net new home orders due to a decrease in average selling communities and monthly absorption rates.  TRI Pointe Homes’ 19% decrease in absorption rate was largely due to a change in mix to slower absorbing inland communities in 2016 from high absorption coastal communities in 2015.  Pardee Homes and Winchester Homes showed modest growth in net new home orders largely due to an increase in average selling communities. Maracay Homes’ net new home orders increased 25% due to new, higher absorption communities opening during the quarter.

Backlog units reflects the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into sales contracts with customers but for which we have not yet delivered the homes. 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 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 11% for the same prior year period.  The dollar value of backlog was $891.5 million as of March 31, 2016, a decrease of $51.8 million, or 5%, compared to $943.4 million as of March 31, 2015.  This decrease in dollar value of backlog is due to a 4% decrease in the average sales price of homes in backlog to $581,000 as of March 31, 2016 from $605,000 as of March 31, 2015, in addition to a 2% decline in backlog units to 1,534 as of March 31, 2016 from 1,558 as of March 31, 2015.

Home sales revenue increased $48.8 million, or 13%, to $423.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $374.3 million for the prior year period. The increase was comprised of: (i) $57.7 million related to a 15% increase in homes delivered to 771 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 668 in the prior year period; and (ii) offset by a decline of $8.9 million due to a decrease in average sales price of $11,000 per home to $549,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $560,000 in the prior year period.  The decrease in average sales prices at TRI Pointe Homes was due to a lower mix of deliveries from coastal California markets and higher mix of attached product.  The increase in average sales prices at Pardee Homes was due to a higher mix of coastal deliveries in California.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).

Our homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 23.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 19.9% for the prior year period and increased sequentially from 22.2% during the fourth quarter of 2015.  The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the 24% increase in deliveries from Pardee Homes, which carries a lower land basis in some of its longer-term land holdings.  Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 21.8% for the prior year period. The increase in the adjusted homebuilding gross margin was consistent with the change in 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. Because adjusted homebuilding gross margin is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to homebuilding gross margin, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of home sales revenue remained steady at 6.2% for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Total sales and marketing expense increased by $3.0 million to $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $23.3 million in the same prior year period, and is primarily attributable to direct selling costs related to the 15% increase in new home deliveries.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 6.7% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 7.5% for the prior year period.  The decrease is due primarily to higher operating leverage resulting from increased home sales revenue. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $28.2 million in the same prior year period.

Total sales and marketing and G&A (“SG&A”) as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 12.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to 13.7% in the prior year period, due primarily to higher home sales revenue in the current year period.  Total SG&A expense increased $3.3 million, or 6.4%, to $54.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $51.4 million in the prior year period.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges decreased to $135,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $222,000 in the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to higher severance costs in 2015.

Interest

Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $15.1 million and $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  All interest incurred in both periods was capitalized.  The slight decrease in interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the unsecured revolving credit facility debt as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015, along with the decrease in seller financed loans outstanding as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015.

Income Tax

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a tax provision of $15.5 million based on an effective tax rate of 35.0%.  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%. The increase in provision for income taxes is due to an increase in income before taxes of $21.1 million to $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $23.1 million for the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2016 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, 2016, we had $144.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe we have sufficient cash and sources of financing to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

- 34 -


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, t o 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, 2016, no principal has been paid on the Senior Notes, and there was $19.5 million of capitalized debt financing costs related to the Senior Notes, included in senior notes on our consolidated balance sheet. These costs will amortize over the respective lives of the Senior Notes.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2015, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $425 million to $550 million.  The Credit Facility matures on May 18, 2019, 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 1.45% to 2.20% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2016, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $374.4 million with an interest rate 2.13% per annum and $170.3 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  At March 31, 2016 we had outstanding letters of credit of $5.3 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.

Stock Repurchase Program

On January 27, 2016, we announced that our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of our common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through January 25, 2017.  Purchases of common stock may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.  As of March 31, 2016, no shares have been repurchased under this program.  We are not obligated under the program to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements.

(1)

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 a non-GAAP measure and 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.  Because the ratio of net debt-to-capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Flows—Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

·

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $31.4 million to $139.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $108.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change was comprised of offsetting activity, including (i) an increase in real estate inventories of $180.5 million in 2016 compared to an increase of $127.3 million in 2015 to support our community count growth and (ii) other offsetting activity included changes in other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and net income.

·

Net cash used in investing activities was $424,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.4 million for the same prior year period in 2015.  The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due to lower new investments in unconsolidated entities.

·

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $69.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2016 from $45.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily a result of borrowings from debt of $75.0 million in the current period compared to $50.0 million in the prior year period.

As of March 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $144.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot 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, 2016, we had $30.7 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 $380.7 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, 2016 we had $170.3 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.  In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the first and second quarters of our fiscal year, 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 three to nine months to construct a new home, the number of homes delivered and associated home sales revenue typically increases in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year as new home orders sold earlier in the year 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 of our fiscal year, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of the year.  We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement contained elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the period presented. If there is a material difference between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. There are areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the accompanying condensed notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 17, Related Party Transactions to the accompanying condensed notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding debt.  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, 2016. 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

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “Principal Executive Officer”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “Principal Financial Officer”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Not applicable.

Item 1A.

Ri sk Factors

The following supplements and updates the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  If any of the risks discussed below or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and you could lose all or a part of your investment.  Some statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements in the following risk factor, constitute forward-looking statements.  Please refer to Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

We cannot assure you that our stock repurchase program will result in repurchases of our common stock or enhance long term stockholder value, and repurchases, if any, could affect our stock price and increase its volatility and will diminish our cash reserves.

Repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program described in Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could affect our stock price and increase its volatility and will reduce the market liquidity for our stock. The existence of a stock repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program. Additionally, these repurchases will diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions and would result in lower overall returns on our cash balances.  There can be no assurance that any stock repurchases will, in fact, occur, or, if they occur, that they will enhance stockholder value.  Although our stock repurchase program is intended to enhance long term stockholder value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of these repurchases.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 27, 2016, we announced that our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of our common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through January 25, 2017.  Purchases of common stock may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.  As of March 31, 2016, no shares have been repurchased under this program.  We are not obligated under the program to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements.
