During the third quarter of 2003, the average sales price of the Company’s homes in California (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $450,200, up 10% from $408,400 for the comparable period a year ago. The higher average sales price was due primarily to price appreciation in certain projects and a change in product mix. The average sales prices in Arizona and Nevada decreased to $199,600 and $295,900, respectively, during the third quarter of 2003 from $225,800 and $345,700, respectively, for the comparable period a year ago, due primarily to a change in product mix.

General William Lyon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated: “I am extremely pleased with the Company’s results for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 30, 2003. With the number of new orders in the third quarter of 2003 and the backlog at September 30, 2003 both reaching a record number for any quarter in the Company’s history, we look forward to the future.”
Wade H. Cable, President and Chief Operating Officer stated: “The increase in the number of new orders in the third quarter of 2003 was across all of our markets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the number of net new home orders increased to 2,682, which exceeds the number of orders for any full year in the Company’s history. We believe we are positioned well for growth in the fourth quarter of 2003 and into 2004.”
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(“Interpretation No. 46”), which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Under Interpretation No. 46, arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as VIEs. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. VIEs include certain homebuilding and land development joint ventures, and certain entities with which the Company enters into option agreements for the purchase of land or lots from an entity and pays a non-refundable deposit or enters into land banking arrangements. Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to arrangements created after January 31, 2003 and, with respect to arrangements created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation will apply to the Company as of December 31, 2003.
Based on the Company’s analysis of arrangements created after January 31, 2003, no VIEs have been created for the period February 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003 with respect to option agreements. At September 30, 2003, three joint ventures and one land banking agreement created after January 31, 2003 have been determined to be VIEs in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these three joint ventures and one land banking arrangement have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2003 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2003 are real estate inventories related to the VIEs of $97,671,000, together with the related minority interest of $78,504,000. These joint ventures have not obtained construction financing from outside lenders, but are financing their activities through equity contributions from each of the joint venture partners.
3
The Company has not yet determined the anticipated impact of adopting Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements existing as of January 31, 2003. However, such adoption will likely require the consolidation in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2003 of the assets, liabilities and operations on a prospective basis of certain existing joint ventures, option agreements and land banking arrangements. Because the Company already recognizes its proportionate share of joint venture earnings and losses under the equity method of accounting, the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not affect the Company’s consolidated net income.

(1) | EBITDA means net income plus (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) amortization of capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (iv) depreciation and amortization and (v) cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures less equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is presented herein because it is a component of certain covenants in the Indenture governing the Company’s 10¾% Senior Notes (“Indenture”). In addition, management believes the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because EBITDA is a widely utilized financial indicator of a company’s ability to service and/or incur debt. The calculations of EBITDA below are presented in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities |

and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided as follows:
