NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2017


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for Form 10-Q and include the accounts of CalAtlantic Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a variable interest entitypartnerships in which CalAtlantic Group, Inc. either has a controlling interest or is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  Certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") has been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations.   In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" refer to CalAtlantic Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
 
2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue.  Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.  As a result, for public companies, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied either with a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with early application permitted.  We do not plan to early adopt the guidance.approach.  We expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach.  Although we are still in the process of evaluating our contracts, we do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our homebuilding revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on other aspects of our business and on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for thea new practicality exception.  A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such these investments may be measured at cost.  ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact adoption will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification.  The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the impact adoption will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting ("ASU 2016-07"), which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment.  Our adoption of ASU 2016-07 on January 1, 2017 did not have an effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  In connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, the Company elected to apply the provisions of ASU 2016-09 related to the income statement and statement of cash flows impact of income taxes on a prospective basis, and as such, prior periods have not been adjusted.  The Company made a policy election to continue to estimate forfeitures at the grant date of an award.  The remaining updates required in connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"), which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.2017.  We do not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), which provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.2017.  We determined that upon adoption of this new standard, the Company will no longer present the changes within restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"), which clarifies the definition of a business for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.2017.  Once adopted, the Company will be required to analyze any future acquisitions to determine whether the transaction qualifies as a purchase of a business or an asset.  Transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions will be capitalized, while transaction costs associated with a business combination will continue to be expensed as incurred.  In addition, asset acquisitions will not be subject to a measurement period, as are business combinations.  The adoption of ASU 2017-01 may have a future impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted.  We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017.  Our adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
3.Segment Reporting

We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.

Our homebuilding operations acquire and develop land and construct and sell single-family attached and detached homes.  In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), we have determined that each of our four homebuilding regions and financial services operations (consisting of our mortgage financing and title operations) are our operating segments.  Our four homebuilding reportable segments include:  North, consisting of our divisions in Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C.; Southeast, consisting of our divisions in Florida and the Carolinas; Southwest, consisting of our divisions in Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Utah; and West, consisting of our divisions in California, Arizona and Washington.

Our mortgage financing operation, CalAtlantic Mortgage, provides mortgage financing to many of our homebuyers in substantially all of the markets in which we operate, and sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market.  Our title, escrow and insurance subsidiaries provide title, escrow and insurance services to homebuyers in many of our markets.  Our mortgage financing, title, escrow and insurance services operations are included in our financial services reportable segment, which is separately reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements under "Financial Services."

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating segments by centralizing key administrative functions such as accounting, finance and treasury, information technology, insurance and risk management, litigation, marketing and human resources.  Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support us as a publicly traded company.  All of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to each of our four homebuilding regions based on their respective percentage of revenues.

4. Earnings Per Common Share

We compute earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260"), which requires earnings per share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method.  The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company's participating security holders.  Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to

Table of Contents
dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

-9-

Table of Contents
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of basic common stock outstanding.  Our unvested restricted stock areis classified as a participating securitiessecurity in accordance with ASC 260.  Net income allocated to the holders of our unvested restricted stock is calculated based on the shareholders' proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards and unvested restricted stock using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method, and convertible debt using the if-converted method.  Under the two-class method of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is reallocated to common stock, unvested restricted stock and all dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.

Total compensation expense recognized related to stock-based compensation was $4.9$5.1 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.2$14.3 million and $7.5$11.2 million, respectively.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, total unrecognized stock-based compensation

expense was $36.6$31.3 million, with a weighted average period over which the remaining unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recorded of approximately 2.12.2 years.

6. Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid short-term investments, including interest-bearing securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, cash and equivalents included $80.6$80.8 million of cash from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, which are considered deposits in-transit.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, homebuilding restricted cash represented $32.4$29.6 million of cash held in cash collateral accounts primarily related to certain letters of credit that have been issued.  Financial services restricted cash as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 consisted of $17.7 million held in cash collateral accounts primarily related to certain letters of credit that have been issued, $3.0 million related to our financial services subsidiary mortgage credit facility and $0.7$0.5 million related to funds held in trust for third parties.

7. Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale

The Company's investment portfolio includes mainly municipal debt securities and metropolitan district bond securities, which are included in homebuilding other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As defined in ASC Topic 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities ("ASC 320"), the Company considers its investment portfolio to be available-for-sale.  Accordingly, these investments are recorded at their fair values.  The cost of securities sold is based on an average-cost basis.  Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, within stockholders' equity.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included unrealized losses of $172,000 on available-for-sale marketable securities.  Realized earnings associated with the Company's available-for-sale marketable securities, which included interest and dividends totaled $173,000 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and were included in homebuilding other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company periodically reviews its available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair values that are below their cost bases, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company believes that the cost bases for its available-for-sale securities were recoverable in all material respects.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment ("ASC 360"), we record impairment losses on inventories when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired, and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts.  We perform a detailed budget and cash flow review of all of our real estate communities (including actively selling communities, future communities and communities on hold/inactive) on a semi-annual basis throughout each fiscal year to, among other things, determine whether the community's estimated remaining undiscounted future cash flows are more or less than the carrying value of the inventory balance.  Inventories that are determined to be impaired are written down to their estimated fair value.  We calculate the fair value of a community under a land residual value analysis and in certain cases in conjunction with a discounted cash flow analysis.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the total active and future communities that we owned were 870901 and 876,879, respectively.  During the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, we reviewed all communities for indicators of impairment and based on our review we did not record any inventory impairments during these periods.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 second quarter, we acquired the homebuilding operations (representing approximately 19 current and future communities) from a Seattle-based developer and homebuilder for total consideration of $44.5 million, which we accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.Combinations.  As a result of this transaction, we recorded approximately $25.7 million of inventories owned, $3.9 million of inventories not owned, $15.0 million of goodwill and $0.1 million of other accrued liabilities and other debt.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, these amounts are subject to change as we have not yet finalized the purchase price allocation of the real estate assets acquired in this transaction.
 
b.   Inventories Not Owned

Inventories not owned as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of land purchase and lot option deposits outstanding at the end of each period, and purchase price allocated to lot option contracts assumed in connection with business acquisitions. Under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"), a non-refundable deposit paid to an entity is deemed to be a variable interest that will absorb some or all of the entity's expected losses if they occur.  Our land purchase and lot option deposits generally represent our maximum exposure to the land seller if we elect not to purchase the optioned property.  In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with
 
-12-

Table of Contents
we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to optioned land prior to takedown.  Such costs are classified as inventories owned, which we would have to write-off should we not exercise the option.  Therefore, whenever we enter into a land option or purchase contract with an entity and make a non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity ("VIE") may have been created.  In accordance with ASC 810, we perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

9. Capitalization of Interest

We follow the practice of capitalizing interest to inventories owned during the period of development and to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest ("ASC 835").  Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories owned is included in cost of sales as related units or lots are sold.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures is included as a reduction of income from unconsolidated joint ventures when the related homes or lots are sold to third parties.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated land development joint ventures is transferred to inventories owned if the underlying lots are purchased by us.  To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred by us.  Qualified assets represent communities that are actively selling or under development as well as investments in homebuilding and land development unconsolidated joint ventures.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, our qualified assets exceeded our debt, and as a result, all of our homebuilding interest incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016these periods was capitalized in accordance with ASC 835.

The following is a summary of homebuilding interest capitalized to inventories owned and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, amortized to cost of sales and income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and expensed as interest expense, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016:

(2)During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, in connection with lot purchases from our joint ventures, $0 and $0.5 million, respectively, of capitalized interest was transferred from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to inventories owned.

10.     Investments in Unconsolidated Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income (loss) of our unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures, which is allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements less any additional impairments, if any, recorded against our investments in joint ventures which we do not deem recoverable.  In addition, we defer recognition of our share of income that relates to lots purchased by us from land development joint ventures until we

ultimately sell the homes to be constructed to third parties, at which time we account for these earnings as a reduction of the cost basis of the lots purchased from these joint ventures.

During each of the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, all of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were reviewed for impairment.  Based on the impairment review, no joint venture communities were determined to be impaired for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, or 2016.and we recorded a $1.0 million impairment charge during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, related to one joint venture in the West.

Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may represent a variable interest in a VIE depending on, among other things, the economic interests of the members of the entity and the contractual terms of the arrangement.  We analyze all of our unconsolidated joint ventures under the provisions of ASC 810 to determine whether these entities are deemed to be VIEs, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, with the exception of onetwo homebuilding joint ventureventures that we consolidated during the 2017 first quarter in accordance with ASC 810, all of our homebuilding and land development joint ventures with unrelated parties were determined under the provisions of ASC 810 to be unconsolidated joint ventures either because they were not deemed to be VIEs and we did not have a controlling interest, or, if they were a VIE, we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.  During the 2017 first quarter, we entered into a homebuilding joint venture with an unrelated party.  Based on our assessment of theeach consolidated joint venture's operating agreement in accordance with ASC 810, we determined that thistwo joint venture isventures were either (1) a consolidated VIE where CalAtlantic Group, Inc. is the primary beneficiary that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the joint venture.venture or (2) a consolidated joint venture in which CalAtlantic Group, Inc. has a controlling financial interest.  As a result of consolidating this VIE,these two entities, we have $10.7$13.9 million of noncontrolling interest reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

11.     Warranty Costs

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related homebuilding revenues are recognized.  Amounts accrued are based upon historical experience.  Indirect warranty overhead salaries and related costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred.  We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis and adjust the amounts recorded if necessary.  Our warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in our warranty accrual are detailed in the table set forth below:

15.     Mortgage Credit Facility

At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had $149.8$152.8 million outstanding under our mortgage financing subsidiary's mortgage credit facility.  This mortgage credit facility consisted of a $300 million uncommitted repurchase facility, with one lender, maturing in June 2018.

16.     Disclosures about Fair Value

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Further, ASC 820 requires us to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale

Marketable securities that are available-for-sale are comprised mainly of municipal debt securities and metropolitan district bond securities.  The Company's municipal debt securities are valued based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, which uses Level 2 inputs, and the metropolitan district bond securities are based on a discounted future cash flow model, which uses Level 3 inputs.  The primary unobservable inputs used in our discounted cash flow model are (1) the forecasted number of homes to be closed, as homes drive increases to the taxpaying base for the metropolitan district, (2) the forecasted assessed value of those closed homes and (3) the discount rate.

Mortgage loans held for sale

Mortgage loans held for sale consist of FHA, VA, USDA and agency first mortgages on single-family residences which are eligible for sale to FNMA/FHLMC, GNMA or other investors, as applicable.  Fair values of these loans are based on quoted prices from third party investors when preselling loans.

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment – Fair value of these loans is based on the estimated market value of the underlying collateral based on market data and other factors for similar type properties as further adjusted to reflect the estimated net realizable value of carrying the loans through disposition.

Senior and Convertible Senior Notes Payable – The senior notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were estimated based upon the values of their last trade at the end of the period.

The fair value of our cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, secured project debt and other notes payable, revolving credit facility, and mortgage credit facility approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature and/or variable interest rate attribute of these assets and liabilities.

a.  Land Purchase and Option Agreements

We are subject to obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved homesites. These purchase contracts typically require us to provide a cash deposit or deliver a letter of credit in favor of the seller, and our 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 near-term 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 predetermined 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 or by repaying amounts drawn under a letter of credit provided by us with no further financial responsibility to the land seller, although in certain instances, the land seller has the right to compel us to purchase a specified number of lots at predetermined prices.

In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to our land purchase and option contracts prior to purchase, which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had non-refundable cash deposits outstanding of approximately $76.9$80.3 million and capitalized pre-acquisition and other development and construction costs of approximately $31.9$31.3 million relating to land purchase and option contracts having a total remaining purchase price of approximately $1,058.3$995.1 million.

Our utilization of 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 financial intermediaries,

general housing market conditions, and geographic preferences.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.
 
b.  Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures
 
Our joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and construction financing designed to reduce the use of funds from corporate financing sources.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we held ownership interests in 2728 homebuilding and land development joint ventures, of which 1314 were active and 14 were inactive or winding down.  As of such date, only twoSeptember 30, 2017, we had no unconsolidated joint ventures hadwith project specific debt outstanding which totaled $30.2 million.  This joint venture bank debt is non-recourse to us and is scheduled to mature in.  At September 2017.  At June 30, 2017, we had no joint venture surety bonds outstanding.outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us.
 
c.  Surety Bonds
 
We obtain surety bonds in the normal course of business to ensure completion of the infrastructure of our communities.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had approximately $947.5$1,002.2 million in surety bonds outstanding, with respect to which we had an estimated $500.3$506.1 million remaining in cost to complete.
 
d.  Mortgage Loans and Commitments
 
We commit to making mortgage loans to our homebuyers through our mortgage financing subsidiary, CalAtlantic Mortgage.  CalAtlantic Mortgage sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market and finances these loans under its mortgage credit facility for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days), as investors complete their administrative review of applicable loan documents.  Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were committed to borrowers totaled approximately $338.6$291.6 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.6%4.0%.  Interest rate risks related to these obligations are mitigated by CalAtlantic Mortgage through the preselling of loans to investors or through its interest rate hedging program.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, CalAtlantic Mortgage had approximately $154.8$163.4 million in closed mortgage loans held for sale and $23.4$33.3 million of mortgage loans in process that we were committed to sell to investors subject to our funding of the loans and the investors' completion of their administrative review of the applicable loan documents.  In addition, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, CalAtlantic Mortgage had approximately $315.2$258.3 million of mortgage loans in process that were or are expected to be originated on a non-presold basis, substantially all of which were hedged by forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities prior to entering into loan sale transactions with third party investors.

Substantially all of the loans originated by CalAtlantic Mortgage are sold with servicing rights released on a non-recourse basis.  These sales are generally subject to CalAtlantic Mortgage's obligation to repay its gain on sale if the loan is prepaid by the borrower within a certain time period following such sale, or to repurchase the loan if, among other things, the purchaser's underwriting guidelines are not met, or there is fraud in connection with the loan.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, CalAtlantic Mortgage recorded loan loss expense related to indemnification and repurchase allowances of $0.1$0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, CalAtlantic Mortgage had indemnity and repurchase allowances related to loans sold of approximately $3.7 million.$3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.  In addition, during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, CalAtlantic Mortgage made make-whole payments of $0$0.1 million and $0.1$0.3 million, respectively.

e.  Insurance and Litigation Accruals

Insurance and litigation accruals are established with respect to estimated future claims cost. 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.  We record allowances to cover the estimated costs of our self-insurance liability based on an
-19-

Table of Contents
analysis performed by an independent third party actuary that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs.  Our total insurance and litigation accruals as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $232.8$233.8 million and $233.5 million, respectively, which are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in determining these estimated accrual amounts, actual future claim costs could differ materially from our currently estimated amounts.

In July 2017, Weyerhaeuser Company notified the Company of an issue with a specific type of fire rated I-joist product manufactured after December 1, 2016.  The Company estimates that the joist is present in approximately 370 Company homes located in our Colorado, Twin Cities and Philadelphia markets. Weyerhaeuser has committed to us that they will absorb the costs and directly pay for the repair of the affected homes, and as a result, we do not believe we will incur any material costs, expenses or charges as a result of this issue.

18.     Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740").  ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.  Changes to enacted tax rates could materially impact the recorded amount of our deferred tax asset.
 
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 prior and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our utilization experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and tax planning alternatives.
 
Our 2017 secondthird quarter provision for income taxes of $57.3$52.8 million primarily related to our $156.2$146.2 million of pretax income.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had a $314.4$309.2 million deferred tax asset which was partially offset by a valuation allowance of $1.9 million related to state net operating loss carryforwards that are limited by shorter carryforward periods.  As of such date, $96.1$96.0 million of our deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards is subject to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 gross annual deduction limitation of $15.6 million for both federal and state purposes.  Additionally, $15.3$16.1 million of our state deferred tax asset related to net operating losses is subject to 382 limitations resulting from our October 1, 2015 merger with Ryland, and $4.8$5.0 million related to state net operating loss carryforwards that are not limited by Section 382.  The remaining deferred tax asset balance of $198.2$192.1 million represented deductible timing differences, primarily related to inventory impairments and financial accruals, which have no expiration date.   As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $13.3$14.0 million and $12.1 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we remained subject to examination by various tax jurisdictions for the tax years ended December 31, 2012 through 2016.

19.Subsequent Event

On October 29, 2017, the Company and Lennar Corporation ("Lennar") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger").  At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding will be converted into and become the right to receive either (i) subject to adjustment, 0.885 shares (as adjusted, the "Exchange Ratio") of Class A common stock of Lennar ("Lennar stock") or (ii) $48.26 in cash.  Holders of Company common stock will have the option to elect to receive their consideration in the Merger in cash or stock, subject to proration to the extent cash to be paid to all such holders electing to receive cash consideration would exceed $1.16 billion.  At the effective time of the Merger, (i) the Company's options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights will be converted
-20-

into the option to acquire or right to receive in lieu of Company common stock, the number of shares of Lennar stock, as determined in accordance with the exchange ratio, and (ii) the Company's convertible notes will remain outstanding and become convertible in lieu of Company common stock, the number of shares of Lennar stock, as determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.  It is expected that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Merger by the Company's stockholders and the stockholders of Lennar.  For additional information about the Merger Agreement, reference is made to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 30, 2017, which is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Recent Developments

On October 30, 2017, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Lennar Corporation ("Lennar") pursuant to which each share of CalAtlantic stock will be exchanged for 0.885 shares of Lennar Class A common stock.  CalAtlantic's stockholders will also have the option to elect to exchange all or a portion of their shares for cash in the amount of $48.26 per share, subject to a maximum cash amount of approximately $1.2 billion.  This business combination will create the nation's largest homebuilder.  The transaction, which is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including the approval of the merger by the Company's stockholders and the stockholders of Lennar, is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2018.

Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense, (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges, (e) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, including amortization of capitalized model costs, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiaries, (j) purchase accounting adjustments and (k) merger and other one-time transaction related costs.  Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as it provides perspective on the underlying performance of the business. However, it should be noted that Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measure. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operations or any other liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

GrowthIn July 2017, Weyerhaeuser Company notified the building community of an issue with a specific type of fire rated I-joist product manufactured after December 1, 2016.  Weyerhaueser has estimated that approximately 2,200 homes nationwide contain the joist.  The Company estimates that the joist is present in approximately 370 Company homes located in our Colorado, Twin Cities and Land Plan. We made significant progress with our growth initiative duringPhiladelphia markets.  Of the quarter.  On May 4, 2017identified 370 impacted homes, 53 have been delivered to homeowners, 6 are model homes, and June 13, 2017, respectively,the remainder are in various stages of construction.  Weyerhaeuser has committed to us that they will absorb the costs and directly pay for the repair of the affected homes, and as a result, we announceddo not believe we enteredwill incur any material costs, expenses or charges as a result of this issue.  Weyerhaeuser has hired a national restoration general contractor to remediate the robust Salt Lake City and Seattle markets,affected homes, however, we do not yet know the 18th and 17th largest homebuilding markets inultimate timing for delivering the country. We spent a total of approximately $406.1 million on land and land development and acquired approximately 3,576 homesites during the quarter, including 19 current and future communities (one actively selling) in the new Seattle market, giving us ownership or control of approximately 1,900 homesites (400 owned and 1,500 under contract for future purchase) in Seattle.  We remain focused on acquiring and developing strategically located and appropriately priced land and on designing and building highly desirable, amenity-rich communities andremaining homes that appeal to the home buying segments we target.impacted by this issue.

Following all of these transactions, including the redemption of all of our $253 million convertible notes due 2032, which, barring a rise in our stock price above the $40.08 convert price, will occur on August 7, 2017, we will have retired approximately 8% of our fully diluted share count since the beginning of 2017, comprised of the 4.4 million outstanding shares retired through share repurchases and the 6.3 million shares underlying the 2032 convertible notes that are included in our fully diluted share count.  As we look forward, we plan to continue to appropriately apply our capital allocation strategy, opportunistically repurchasing our stock when we believe the price is right, pursuing growth through new markets when we find attractive opportunities, and continuing to feed the pipeline in our existing markets as we find land that meets our underwriting criteria.

The increase in new home deliveries forDuring the 2017 secondthird quarter, as compared to the prior year period resulted primarily from stronger deliveries inwithin our North and Southwest regions were negatively impacted by the Weyerhauser I-joist issue discussed above, which caused a reduction in deliveries in each region of approximately 45 and 50 units, respectively.  Our Southwest region also experienced a reduction in deliveries of approximately 30 units as a result of Hurricane Harvey's impact on our Houston division.  Additionally our Southeast regions, whichregion experienced double digit percentage increasesa reduction in deliveries of approximately 115 units as a result of Hurricane Irma.  In the West, the majority of divisions within the regions.  In the Southwest, double digit percentage decreases wereregion experienced in Austin, Colorado, Las Vegas and San Antonio, which were partially offset by delivery increases in Dallas and Houston.  In the West, double digit percentage decreases in Southern California deliveries, which were partially offset by double digit percentage increases in the Bay Area and Phoenix.

Gross Margin

Our 2017 secondthird quarter gross margin percentage from home sales was 20.0% compared to 22.5% in the 2016 third quarter.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our gross margin percentage from home sales decreased to 20.1% compared to 21.9% in the 2016 second quarter.prior year period. The year over year decrease was primarily attributable to a shift in product mix and an increase in direct construction costs per home.  Our 2016 second quarter gross margin from home sales was adversely impacted by required fair value adjustments to homes in backlog and speculative homes under construction acquired in connection with our October 2015 merger with Ryland, with fair value accounting causing us to recognize approximately $5.9 million as an increase to cost of sales during the period.  No such merger related adjustments were required for the 2017 second quarter.

SG&A Expenses

Our 2017 secondthird quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $174.0$168.4 million compared to $165.7$170.8 million for the prior year period, up 1080 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 10.7%11.1% compared to 10.6%10.3% for the 2016 secondthird quarter.  Isolating G&A from selling expenses, we continue to leverage our G&A expenses as higher year over year home sale revenues have resulted in G&A expensesincreased as a percentage of home sale revenues improving to 5.3%5.6% for the 2017 secondthird quarter compared to 5.4%5.2% for the prior year period.period, primarily as a result of a decrease in home sale revenues, driven by the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the Weyerhaeuser I-joist issue.  Our selling expenses as a percentage of home sale revenues increased slightly to 5.4%5.5% for the 2017 secondthird quarter compared to 5.2%5.1% in the prior year period, primarily as a result of awe continue to experience higher co-broker participation, driving an approximately 20 basis point increase compared to the prior year period.  In addition, internal commissions for the 2017 third quarter were up approximately 10 basis points compared to the prior year period, driven by a timing related increase due to a large order/delivery imbalance, primarily in co-broker commissions.

Other Homebuilding Items

Weyerhaeuser Company has notified the building community of an issue with a specific type of fire rated I-joist product manufactured after December 1, 2016.  Weyerhaueser has estimated that approximately 2,200 homes nationwide contain the joist.  The Company believes that the joist is present in approximately 400 Company homes located in our Colorado, Twin Cities and Philadelphia markets.  Of the identified 400 impacted homes, 87 have been delivered to homeowners, 6 are model homes, and the remainder are in various stages of construction.  We are currently working with Weyerhaeuser in evaluating potential

remediation solutions to determine the best course of corrective action for our customers and do not yet know the ultimate impact this issue will have on our business.  Of the 307 homes under construction, 148 were scheduled to close in the 2017 third quarter and 144 in the 2017 fourth quarter.  Although we expect to experience a combination of delayed closing and/or cancelations with respect to these units that will likely have a negative impact on net orders, closings and revenue in these quarters, we do not believe we will incur any material costs, expenses or charges as a result of this issue.

The holders may convert their 1.25% Convertible Notes at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 24.9496 shares of common stock per $1,000 of their principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $40.08 per share), subject to adjustment. The Company may not redeem the 1.25% Convertible Notes prior to August 5, 2017. On or after August 5, 2017 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 1.25% Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.25% Convertible Notes being redeemed. On each of August 1, 2017, August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2027, holders of the 1.25% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of their 1.25% Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.25% Convertible Notes to be repurchased.  We plan to redeem the remaining $253 million of our 1.25% convertible senior notes due August 2032, on August 7, 2017, unless such notes are earlier repurchased or converted.
 
In April 2017, the Company issued $225 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $125 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes to the Company's existing 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 and $100 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes to the Company's existing 5.25% Senior Notes due 2026, each of which are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis.  A portion of the net proceeds of this issuance were used to repay the remaining $230 million principal balance of our 8.4% Senior Notes upon maturity in May 2017.

Potential Future Transactions.  In the future, we may, from time to time, undertake negotiated or open market purchases of, or tender offers for, our notes prior to maturity when they can be purchased at prices that we believe are attractive.  We may also, from time to time, engage in exchange transactions (including debt for equity and debt for debt transactions) for all or part of our notes.  Such transactions, if any, will depend on market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Joint Venture Loans.  As described more particularly under the heading "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements", our land development and homebuilding joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and/or construction financing.  This financing is designed to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, only twowe had no joint ventures hadwith project specific debt outstanding, which totaled $30.2 million.  This joint venture bank debt was non-recourse to us.outstanding.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had no joint venture surety bonds outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us.
 
Secured Project Debt and Other Notes Payable.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had $27.0$43.2 million outstanding in secured project debt and other notes
-37-

payable.  Our secured project debt and other notes payable consist of seller non-recourse financing and community development district and similar assessment district bond financings used to finance land acquisition, development and infrastructure costs for which we are responsible. 
 
Mortgage Credit Facility.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had $149.8$152.8 million outstanding under our mortgage financing subsidiary's mortgage credit facility.  This mortgage credit facility consisted of a $300 million uncommitted repurchase facility, with one lender, maturing in June 2018.  This facility requires our mortgage financing subsidiary to maintain cash collateral accounts, which totaled $3.0 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and also contains financial covenants which require CalAtlantic Mortgage to, among other things, maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, not to exceed a debt to tangible net worth ratio, maintain a minimum liquidity amount based on a measure of total assets (inclusive of the cash collateral requirement), and satisfy pretax income (loss) requirements.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, CalAtlantic Mortgage was in compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in this facility.
 
Surety Bonds.  Surety bonds serve as a source of liquidity for the Company because they are used in lieu of cash deposits and letters of credit that would otherwise be required by governmental entities and other third parties to ensure our completion of the infrastructure of our communities and other performance obligations.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had approximately $947.5$1,002.2 million in surety bonds outstanding (exclusive of surety bonds related to our joint ventures), with respect to which we had an estimated $500.3$506.1 million remaining in cost to complete.
 
Availability of Additional Liquidity.  Over the last several years we have focused on acquiring and developing strategically located and appropriately priced land and on designing and building highly desirable, amenity-rich communities and homes that appeal to the home buying segments we target.  In the near term, so long as we are able to continue to find appropriately priced land opportunities, we plan to continue with this strategy.  To that end, we may utilize cash generated from our operating activities, our $750 million revolving credit facility (including through the exercise of the accordion feature which would allow the facility be increased up to $1.2 billion, subject to the availability of additional capital commitments and certain other conditions) and the debt and equity capital markets to finance these activities.
 
It is important to note, however, that the availability of additional capital, whether from private capital sources (including banks) or the public capital markets, fluctuates as market conditions change.  There may be times when the private capital markets and the public debt or equity markets lack sufficient liquidity or when our securities cannot be sold at attractive prices, in which case we would not be able to access capital from these sources.  A weakening of our financial condition, including in particular, a material increase in our leverage or a decrease in our profitability or cash flows, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary funds, result in a credit rating downgrade or change in outlook, or otherwise increase our cost of borrowing.
 
Dividends.  For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid a dividend of $0.04 per share on JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  On July 28,October 30, 2017 our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.04 per share to be paid on SeptemberDecember 30, 2017 to holders of record on SeptemberDecember 15, 2017.

Stock Repurchases.  On July 27, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a new $500 million stock repurchase plan.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we repurchased 4.4 million shares of our common stock, and as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $217.4 million of our common stock.
 
Leverage.  Our homebuilding debt to total book capitalization as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was 47.0%46.9%.  In addition, our homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the trailing twelve month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.8x4.2x and 4.4x,3.7x, respectively, and our adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA was 3.6x4.0x and 4.1x,3.4x, respectively (please see page 2729 for the reconciliation of net income, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted homebuilding
-38-

EBITDA).  We believe that these adjusted ratios are useful to investors as additional measures of our ability to service debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Land Purchase and Option Agreements

We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved homesites. These purchase contracts typically require us to provide a cash deposit or deliver a letter of credit in favor of the seller, and our 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 near-term use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require us to provide a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at predetermined 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 or by repaying amounts drawn under a letter of credit provided by us with no further financial responsibility to the land seller, although in certain instances, the land seller has the right to compel us to purchase a specified number of lots at predetermined prices.

In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to our land purchase and option contracts prior to purchase, which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had non-refundable cash deposits outstanding of approximately $76.9$80.3 million and capitalized pre-acquisition and other development and construction costs of approximately $31.9$31.3 million relating to land purchase and option contracts having a total remaining purchase price of approximately $1,058.3$995.1 million.

Our utilization of 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 financial intermediaries, general housing market conditions, and geographic preferences.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

Historically, we have entered into land development and homebuilding joint ventures from time to time as a means of:

·    accessing larger or highly desirable lot positions
·    establishingstablishing strategic alliances
·    leveraging our capital base
·    expanding our market opportunities
·    managing the financial and market risk associated with land holdings

These joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and/or construction financing designed to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017,
-38-

Table of Contents
we held ownership interests in 2728 homebuilding and land development joint ventures, of which 1314 were active and 14 were inactive or winding down.  As of such date, only twoSeptember 30, 2017, we had no unconsolidated joint ventures hadwith project specific debt outstanding, which totaled $30.2 million.  This joint venture debt is non-recourse to us and is scheduled to mature inoutstanding.  At September 2017.  At June 30, 2017, we had no joint venture surety bonds outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those that impact our most critical accounting policies.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We believe that the accounting policies related to the following accounts or activities are those that are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require the more significant judgments and estimates:
 
·Segment reporting;
·Inventories and impairments;
·Stock-based compensation;
·Homebuilding revenue and cost of sales;
·Variable interest entities;
·Unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures;
·Warranty accruals;
·Insurance and litigation accruals;
·Income taxes; and
·Goodwill.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our rate-locked loan commitments, mortgage loans held for sale and outstanding variable rate debt.  Other than forward sales commitments in connection with preselling loans to third party investors and forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities entered into by our financial services subsidiary for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk as described below, 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017.  We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
 
As part of our ongoing operations, we provide mortgage loans to our homebuyers through our mortgage financing subsidiary, CalAtlantic Mortgage.  For a portion of its loan originations, CalAtlantic Mortgage manages the interest rate risk associated with making loan commitments to our customers and holding loans for sale by preselling loans.  Preselling loans consists of obtaining commitments (subject to certain conditions) from third party investors to purchase the mortgage loans while concurrently extending interest rate locks to loan applicants. Before completing the sale of mortgage loans to these investors, CalAtlantic Mortgage finances these loans under its mortgage credit facility for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days), while the investors complete their administrative review of the applicable loan documents. While preselling these loans reduces risk, we remain subject to risk relating to investor non-performance, particularly during periods of significant market turmoil.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, CalAtlantic Mortgage had approximately
-39-

Table of Contents
$154.8 $163.4 million in closed mortgage loans held for sale and $23.4$33.3 million of mortgage loans in process that we were committed to sell to investors subject to our funding of the loans and the investors' completion of their administrative review of the applicable loan documents.

CalAtlantic Mortgage also originates a portion of its mortgage loans on a non-presold basis.  When originating mortgage loans on a non-presold basis, CalAtlantic Mortgage locks interest rates with its
-40-

customers and funds loans prior to obtaining purchase commitments from third party investors, thereby creating interest rate risk.  To hedge this interest rate risk, CalAtlantic Mortgage enters into forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities.  LoansMortgage loans originated in this manner are typically held by CalAtlantic Mortgage and financed under its mortgage credit facility for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days) before the loans are sold to third party investors.  CalAtlantic Mortgage utilizes third party hedging software to assist with the execution of its hedging strategy for loans originated on a non-presold basis.  While this hedging strategy is designed to assist CalAtlantic Mortgage in mitigating risk associated with originating mortgage loans on a non-presold basis, these instruments involve elements of market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates that could result in losses on loans originated in this manner.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, CalAtlantic Mortgage had approximately $315.2$258.3 million of mortgage loans in process that were or are expected to be originated on a non-presold basis, all of which were hedged by forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities prior to entering into loan sale transactions with third party investors.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), including controls and procedures to timely alert management to material information relating to CalAtlantic Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

There
Except as described below, there has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  For a detailed description of risk factors, refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The proposed merger between CalAtlantic and Lennar may present certain risks to CalAtlantic's business and operations.

On October 29, 2017, CalAtlantic, Lennar Corporation ("Lennar") and Cheetah Cub Group Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which CalAtlantic, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, would merge with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger").  At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of CalAtlantic issued and outstanding will be converted into and become the right to receive 0.885 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of Class A common stock of Lennar ("Lennar stock"). Holders of CalAtlantic common stock will also have the option to elect to exchange all or a portion of their shares for cash in the amount of $48.26 per share, subject to proration to the extent cash to be paid to all such holders electing to receive cash consideration would exceed $1.16 billion.  At the effective time of the Merger, (i) CalAtlantic's options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights will be converted into the option to acquire or right to receive in lieu of CalAtlantic common stock, the number of shares of Lennar stock, as determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) CalAtlantic's convertible notes will remain outstanding and become convertible in lieu of CalAtlantic common stock, the number of shares of Lennar stock, as determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, unless the indenture relating to a particular issue of convertible debt provides otherwise, in which case the holder of convertible debt of that issue will receive what is provided in the indenture.  The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Merger by CalAtlantic's stockholders and the stockholders of Lennar, and the Merger cannot be completed until all of the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived.  The obligation of each of the parties to the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger is conditioned, among other things, on the other party's representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations imposed under the Merger Agreement.  If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the holders of our common stock will not receive any payment for their shares of our common stock in connection with the proposed Merger. Instead, CalAtlantic will remain an independent public company and holders of our common stock will continue to own their shares of our common stock.

The Merger may present certain risks to CalAtlantic's business and operations prior to the closing of the Merger, including, among other things, risks that:

·we may lose management personnel and other key employees and be unable to attract and retain such personnel and employees;
·uncertainty regarding the Merger could cause customers, suppliers and others who have or may have a business relationship with CalAtlantic to seek to change their business relationship or proposed business relationship;
 
·the Merger Agreement contains restrictions on CalAtlantic's business and operations and may prevent CalAtlantic from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to its business;
·management's attention and other Company resources may be focused on the Merger instead of on day-to-day management activities, including pursuing other opportunities beneficial to CalAtlantic;
·we may incur substantial unexpected transaction fees and Merger-related costs;
·litigation that could be instituted against the Company and its officers and directors relating to the Merger, which could be costly to defend and lead to liabilities;
·the Merger may not be completed, which may have an adverse effect on our stock price and our future business and financial results, and we may incur substantial costs if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain conditions; and
·the Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of CalAtlantic.

In addition, certain risks may arise from entry into the Merger Agreement, including, among other matters:

·any delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved thereunder;
·the Exchange Ratio and the cash consideration are fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the price of CalAtlantic's common stock or Lennar stock;
·Lennar may be unable to successfully integrate our business and workforce with those of Lennar after the Merger and many of the anticipated benefits of combining CalAtlantic and Lennar may not be realized;
·completion of the Merger may trigger assignment, change of control or other provisions in certain commercial contracts to which CalAtlantic is a party, such that counterparties may potentially have the right to terminate such contracts or give consent to the Merger;
·holders of CalAtlantic common stock will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in the combined company after the Merger and will exercise less influence over management;
·after the Merger, Lennar may lose management personnel and other key employees and be unable to attract and retain such personnel and employees; and
·launching branding or rebranding initiatives may involve substantial costs and may not be favorably received by customers.

ITEM 4.     MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5.     OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain OfficersNot applicable.

On July 25, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into Change in Control and Severance Protection Agreements with named executive officers Jeff McCall and Wendy Marlett and certain other company officers and a Severance Protection Agreement with Peter Skelly.  The Agreements have a two year term with a rolling one year extension.  A form of the Change in Control and Severance Protection Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. With respect to Mr. McCall and Mrs. Marlett,
these agreements replace in their entirety their prior Change in Control and Severance Protection Agreements which were set to expire on October 1, 2017.  Mr. Skelly's prior change in control agreement continues to remain in full force and effect and his new Severance Protection Agreement contains only the non-change in control severance provisions contained in Exhibit 10.1.  Pursuant to the severance protection provisions of Mr. Skelly, Mr. McCall and Ms. Marlett's agreements, if the executive's employment with the Company is terminated without cause (cause generally consisting of various bad acts described more particularly in the agreement) other than in connection with a change in control, the executive is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to a multiple (1.5x) of the sum of his or her current base salary plus an amount equal to the annual cash incentive bonus paid to the executive for the year prior to the year of termination, a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination, Company paid COBRA for 1.5 years, and an outplacement benefit.  The amount of the pro-rata bonus is determined by multiplying the actual bonus that would otherwise be due to executive for the year of termination by the quotient obtained by dividing the number of days in the year up to and including the date of termination by 365.  No special treatment of equity awards is provided.

If Mr. McCall or Ms. Marlett's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason (generally consisting of adverse changes in responsibilities, compensation, benefits or location of work place) in connection with a change in control (i.e., "Double-Trigger" required for payouts), the executive is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to a multiple (2x) of the sum of his or her current base salary plus his or her target bonus for the year of termination, Company paid COBRA for two years, an outplacement benefit, and an additional pro-rata bonus.  The amount of the pro-rata bonus is determined by multiplying the target bonus for the year of termination by the quotient obtained by dividing the number of days in the year up to and including the date of termination by 365.  In addition, all unvested equity awards will vest as of the date of termination.  Mr. Skelly is not subject to these change in control provisions and his previously disclosed change in control agreement remains in full force and effect.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Severance and Change in Control Protection Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
