Report on the Financial Statements
We have reviewed the combined financial statements of the Residential Homebuilding Operations of PNW Home Builders, LLC and affiliates (the Business), which comprise the combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, the related combined statement of equity for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2014, the related combined statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of income for thethree-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Management’s Responsibility
The Business’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the combined financial information referred to above for it to be in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Report on Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related combined statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited combined financial statements in our report dated September 15, 2014. In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Residential Homebuilding Operations of PNW Home Builders, LLC and its affiliates as of December 31, 2013, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited combined financial statements from which it has been derived.

(1) | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
The residential homebuilding operations of PNW Home Builders, LLC and affiliates (the “Business”) is not astand-alone legal entity, rather, it is a combination of the residential homebuilding operations owned by PNW Home Builders, LLC and Crescent Ventures, LLC. The Business acquires and develops residential housing in the Pacific Northwest for sale to the general public, which entails the purchase of land, the development of finished lots ormulti-family building pads and the construction ofsingle-family homes, townhomes or condominiums. PNW Home Builders, LLC is also engaged in commercial building activities and rental operations, which are excluded from the Business’s combined financial statements.
On June 22, 2014, PNW Home Builders, LLC, PNW Home Builders North, LLC, PNW Home Builders South, LLC and Crescent Ventures, LLC entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell the Business. Pursuant to the Agreement, the acquirer has agreed to purchase the residential homebuilding business through its acquisition of the membership interests of the underlying limited liability companies and certain service companies and other assets. On August 12, 2014, the acquisition was closed.
PNW Home Builders, LLC and Crescent Ventures, LLC operated under common control and through their wholly owned limited liability companies (PNW Home Builders North, LLC and PNW Home Builders South, LLC and affiliates) conducted business as Polygon Northwest Company. These combined financial statements represent the financial position, result of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows, of the Business including all residential homebuilding activities of the entities in which PNW Home Builders, LLC had a controlling interest or was considered the primary beneficiary.
The combined financial statements do not include $9.6 million of land and $6.1 million of notes payable held by an entity in which PNW Home Builders, LLC owned a controlling interest because it has been identified as not part of the Business; refer to note 3 for further discussion. The notes payable were guaranteed by the Business as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
In the opinion of management, the combined financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270,Interim Reporting. These adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim financial information does not represent complete financial statements and is to be read in conjunction with the 2013 audited financial statements of the Business.

(Unaudited)
Certain support functions were provided on a centralized basis by PNW Home Builders, LLC on behalf of all its subsidiaries, including those that comprise the Business, such as finance, human resource, information technology, facilities, marketing, and legal, among others. These expenses have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder on a basis that management of the Business considers to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided or the benefit received by the Business during the periods presented. Substantially all of the allocable expenses have been allocated to the Business. Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements of the Business, including the assumptions used in allocating general corporate expenses, are reasonable. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Business would have incurred as an independent business for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Business had been astand-alone business would depend on a number of factors, including the actual organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as land acquisition and entitlement, contractor management and marketing.
As part of its operations the Business acquires land for residential development and in the normal course of acquiring land, the Business at times acquires land parcels within the overall acquisition that are not well suited or zoned for the Business’s residential development plans. Upon identification of such land, it is separated and sold, transferred or contributed to either third parties or related parties. The allocation of the cost of land is based on estimates of relative fair values.
The portion of earnings attributable to third party noncontrolling interests is reflected as noncontrolling members’ net investment in the accompanying combined balance sheets and noncontrolling members’ share of net income in the accompanying combined statements of income.
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices |
| (a) | Principles of Combination |
All significant intercompany balances and transactions between entities and operations within the Business have been eliminated in the accompanying combined financial statements. Transactions and balances between the Business and the operations of PNW Home Builders, LLC and consolidated entities excluded from the definition of the Business are presented as related party transactions.
| (b) | Fair Value Measurements |
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820,Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or |

| • | | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable andmarket-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| • | | Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. |
Fair value measurements of financial instruments are determined by various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. When available, the Business uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value.
| (c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market accounts with maturities less than 90 days from acquisition. The Business maintains cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Restricted cash includes balances held for margin requirements and balances held in the name of the Business and assigned to local agencies for the purpose of providing security to those local agencies to guarantee performance.
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from home closings and are recorded at the amount to be received from escrow companies involved in the transactions. The Business records an allowance for doubtful accounts when specific accounts are deemed uncollectible. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were nowrite-offs of accounts receivable and no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
| (f) | Notes Receivable from Related Parties |
As of June 30, 2014, notes receivable to related parties primarily consist of a $5.0 million of note receivable from the controlling member of PNW Home Builders, LLC. The note was fully paid off on July 2, 2014.
| (g) | Homebuilding Inventories |
Homebuilding inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development, capitalized property taxes and interest costs for active communities, and home construction costs. Amounts are recorded to inventory using thespecific-identification method and charged to cost of revenues as the homes associated with such costs are sold. Interest costs and property taxes incurred during home construction or land development and certain other indirect costs are capitalized and subsequently charged to cost of revenues as the homes associated with such costs are sold. Land, infrastructure, and all other common costs are allocated to lots benefited based upon the relative sales value method.

The Business accounts for its real estate inventories under ASC 360,Property, Plant, & Equipment (“ASC 360”). ASC 360 requires inventory costs to be reviewed for potentialwrite-downs when impairment indicators are present. Management of the Business has determined that each community is its asset grouping for impairment testing. Each community in the Business’s owned inventory is assessed to determine if indicators of potential impairment exist. If indicators of potential impairment exist for a community, the identified asset is evaluated for recoverability in accordance with ASC 360.
In the event the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. These estimates of cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs, and other factors. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ from such estimates.
For those assets deemed to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Business’s determination of fair value is primarily based upon discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, management of the Business determined there were no impairments to be recognized.
Deposits paid relating to land options with specific performance and funds expended for extensions and feasibility studies are capitalized when paid and reported aspre-development project costs until the related land is purchased. The deposits are then transferred to homebuilding inventory at the time the land or lots are acquired. Deposits and otherpre-development project costs are charged to expense in the period when acquisition of the land is no longer considered probable.

The Business accounts for variable interest entities in accordance with ASC 810,Consolidation (“ASC 810”). Under ASC 810, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is created when: (a) the equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) the entity’s equity holders as a group either (i) lack the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (ii) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (iii) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the entity’s equity holders have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of the equity holder with disproportionately few voting rights. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, the enterprise that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. In accordance with ASC 810, the Business performs ongoing reassessments of whether the Business is the primary beneficiary of VIEs.
The Business’s operations have historically operated under the legal structure of PNW Home Builders, LLC and Crescent Ventures, LLC which are limited liability companies treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As such, PNW Home Builders, LLC and Crescent Ventures, LLC file partnership tax returns whereby the income and losses of the Business are allocated to its members for inclusion in their respective federal income tax returns. Accordingly, no tax provision or balances are reflected in the combined financial statements of the Business.

The preparation of the combined financial statements requires management of the Business to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include estimates of costs to complete individual projects, the ultimate recoverability (or impairment) of these costs, and the ultimate costs related to the Business’s warranty obligations. Furthermore, nonrefundable deposits paid for land options or contracts may have no economic value to the Business if it does not ultimately purchase the land. Changes to current estimates of expenses or accruals or an impairment of real estate projects could result in charges, or income, in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Business’s operations are located in the greater Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon metropolitan markets. The financial results of the Business are thus dependent upon the real estate industry and economies of those markets.

In the ordinary course of business, the Business enters into land purchase and lot option contracts to acquire rights to land. The use of such contracts generally allows the Business to reduce the market risks associated with direct land ownership and development, and to reduce the Business’s capital and financial commitments, including interest and other carrying costs. Under such contracts, the Business typically pays a specified option or earnest money deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price.
In determining whether the Business is the primary beneficiary, the Business considers, among other things, whether the Business has 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. As a result of the analyses, the Business determined that as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, it was not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which it had acquired rights to purchase land.
