NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
1. | | Business Organization |
|
| | Prior to August 31, 2001, WCI Communities, Inc. (the Company) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Watermark Communities Inc. (Watermark). Watermark was formed in August 1998 to buy, manage, own, develop and sell real estate assets and amenity facilities. On August 31, 2001, Watermark was merged into the Company. At the time of the merger, Watermark’s only significant asset was its investment in the Company. On August 31, 2001, immediately prior to the merger, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that increased the Company’s authorized capital stock from 200,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share. At the time of the merger, each outstanding share of Watermark stock was exchanged for a share of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share amounts give retroactive effect to the merger. |
|
2. | | Basis of Presentation |
|
| | The Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes as of September 30, 2001 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public accountants and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2000 audited financial statements for the year then ended in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such financial information have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. |
|
| | The Company historically has experienced and expects to experience variability in quarterly results. The consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
|
3. | | New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
| | In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Implementation of SFAS 141 did not have an effect on the financial statements of the Company. SFAS 142 provides guidance on accounting for intangible assets and eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, intangible assets, including goodwill, that are not subject to amortization will be tested for impairment annually. SFAS 142 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2002 and is immediately effective for goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. Management is in the process of evaluating the effect this standard will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
| | In October 2001, the FASB approved SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which supercedes SFAS 121 and APB 30. SFAS 144 retains the requirements of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of an impairment loss on long-lived assets, and establishes a single accounting model for all long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS 144 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2002. Management is in the process of evaluating the effect this standard will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |
|
4. | | Segment Information |
|
| | The Company operates in three reportable business segments: homebuilding, parcel and lot, and amenity membership and operations. The homebuilding segment builds and markets single- and multi-family homes and mid-rise and high-rise tower residences. The parcel and lot segment develops and sells land parcels and lots within the Company’s communities primarily to commercial developers and individuals. The amenity membership and operations segment includes the operations and sale of memberships in golf country clubs, marinas, tennis and recreation facilities. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business operations that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different expertise and marketing strategies. Revenues from segments below the quantitative thresholds are primarily attributable to real estate services such as realty brokerage, title company, property management and mortgage banking operations. |
|
| | Transfers between segments are recorded at cost. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the segment contribution margin. The table below presents information about reported operating income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented since the Company does not prepare such information. |

7. | | Debt |
|
| | The Company issued $250,000 of 10.625% senior subordinated notes on February 20, 2001 in a private placement (the Initial Notes). On June 8, 2001, the Company issued an additional $100,000 of 10.625% senior subordinated notes (the Additional Notes, together with the Initial Notes, the Notes) for $105,250, plus accrued interest. Effective June 21, 2001, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission offering to exchange the unregistered Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The exchange was completed on July 31, 2001. The terms of the registered Notes are substantially identical to the unregistered Notes, except the registered Notes do not contain transfer restrictions. The Notes mature on February 15, 2011. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2001. The Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. The indenture relating to the Notes contains certain financial and operational covenants that under certain circumstances limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other items, incur additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase capital stock, and make certain investments. |
|
| | On August 31, 2001, Financial Resources Group, Inc. (FRG), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $10,000 warehouse credit facility (Credit Facility) agreement with a commercial bank. The Credit Facility is payable on demand and accrues interest on outstanding advances at FRG’s election of LIBOR plus 2% or the overnight federal funds rate plus 2.15%. The Credit Facility is secured by a blanket first priority lien on all FRG assets, requires the maintenance of an adequate collateral borrowing base and the maintenance of certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2001, no advances were outstanding on the Credit Facility. |

9. | | Comprehensive Income and Implementation of SFAS 133 |
|
| | Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income, and recognized in the statement of earnings when the hedged item affects earnings, depending on the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. |
|
| | The Company’s policy is to designate at a derivative’s inception the specific liabilities being hedged and monitor the derivative to determine if it remains an effective hedge. The effectiveness of a derivative as a hedge is based on high correlation between changes in its value and changes in the value of the underlying hedged item. The Company recognizes gains or losses for amounts received or paid when the underlying transaction settles. |
|
| | The Company has various interest rate swap agreements totaling $250,000. The swap agreements effectively fix the variable interest rate on approximately $200,000 of the senior secured credit facility. The swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and, accordingly, are reflected at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. The related gains or losses are recorded in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company accounts for its interest rate swaps using the shortcut method, as described in SFAS 133. Amounts to be received or paid as a result of the swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest incurred on the related debt instruments. The net effect on the Company’s operating results is that interest on the variable-rate debt being hedged is recorded based on fixed interest rates. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, on January 1, 2001, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect type adjustment of $746 (net of tax benefit of $469) in customer deposits and |

| | other liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss to recognize the fair value of the interest rate swaps. Subsequent to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 133 through September 30, 2001, the liability and accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $2,296 (net of tax benefit of $1,442) to $3,042. |

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Overview
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001, increased 47.5% to $271.8 million, from $184.3 million for the comparable period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in homebuilding revenues. Total contribution margin for the three months ended September 30, 2001, increased 77.5% to $86.8 million, from $48.9 million for the comparable period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in homebuilding contribution margin. Income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2001, increased 146.3% to $43.6 million, from $17.7 million for the comparable period in 2000. Income tax expense increased 160.6% to $17.2 million, from $6.6 million for the comparable period in 2000. The effective income tax rate was 39.4% and 37.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001, increased 137.8% to $26.4 million, from $11.1 million for the comparable period in 2000. The increase in net income was primarily the result of increased homebuilding revenue and related contribution margin.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, increased 44.5% to $703.5 million, from $486.8 million for the comparable period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in homebuilding revenues. Total contribution margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, increased 47.6% to $217.2 million, from $147.2 million for the comparable period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in homebuilding contribution margin. Income before income taxes and extraordinary item for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, increased 63.9% to $93.1 million, from $56.8 million for the comparable period in 2000. Income tax expense increased 65.9% to $37.0 million, from $22.3 million for the comparable period in 2000. The effective income tax rate was 39.8% and 39.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized a $2.0 million (net of tax) extraordinary item related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the debt restructuring in conjunction with the offering of $250 million and $100 million in senior subordinated notes. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, increased 56.8% to $54.1 million, from $34.5 million for the comparable period in 2000. The increase in net income was primarily the result of increased homebuilding revenue and related contribution margin.
Three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to three months ended September 30, 2000
Revenues and Sales
Homebuilding. Total homebuilding revenues increased 103.2% to $238.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $117.4 million for the same period in 2000. Single- and multi-family homebuilding revenues increased 54.8% to $113.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $73.4 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in single- and multi-family homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 56 unit or 16.9% increase in the number of homes closed and a 32.4% increase in the average selling price of homes closed to $294,000 in 2001 from $222,000 in 2000.

The increase in closings was primarily the result of an increase in the number of inventory homes that were both contracted and closed within the third quarter 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in the average selling price was primarily attributable to increasing prices in certain of the Company’s existing communities that were possible due to strong market demand and an increase in the number of higher-priced units sold.
The value of net new contracts for single- and multi-family homebuilding increased 21.4% to $118.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $97.8 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in the value of net new contracts was primarily the result of an increase in the average price of homes contracted to $329,000 from $274,000. The increase in the average price was primarily the result of both price increases and sales mix factors such as home location, size and community appeal.
Mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding revenues increased 184.1% to $125.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $44.0 million for the same period in 2000.

The increase in mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding revenues was attributable primarily to an increase in the number of tower residences that qualified for recognition of revenue and the increase in the value of sold units in those towers. The Company delivered tower units or met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition in eleven towers in the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to seven towers in the same period in 2000.
The value of net new contracts for mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding increased 1.5% to $304.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $299.6 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in net new contracts was primarily the result of an increase in the number of towers that converted from reservation to contract during the period. Four towers converted from reservation to contract in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to three in the same period in 2000. Backlog at September 30, 2001 was $482.2 million or 31.7% higher than the $366.2 million at September 30, 2000. The increase in backlog was due primarily to the 16.7% increase in the average price of total tower units under contract to $1.4 million in 2001 from $1.2 million in 2000.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Parcel and lot. Total parcel and lot revenues decreased 94.4% to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $43.1 million for the same period in 2000. Sales of lots decreased 88.2% to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the sell-out of lots in subdivisions located in Bay Colony, Pelican Landing and Heron Bay communities and the near sell-out of lots in the final phase of the Harbour Isles community. Sales of residential and commercial parcels for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased 97.5% to $660,000 compared to $27.8 million for the same period in 2000. Sales of residential parcels continued to decrease due to management’s decision to hold most developed and undeveloped land inventory for homebuilding purposes and the sell-out of the few residential parcels that were not designated for homebuilding, while commercial parcel sales decreased primarily as a result of fewer available parcels for sale.
Amenity membership and operations. Total amenity membership and operating revenues decreased 4.5% to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2000. Equity membership revenue increased slightly to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2000, while membership dues and amenity services revenue decreased 7.3% to $7.6 million from $8.2 million. The decrease in operating revenue was attributable primarily to turnover of the Bay Colony Golf Club to its members at the beginning of 2001 and the sale of the Burnt Store marina and restaurant operations in December 2000.
Real estate services and other. Real estate services and other revenues increased 60.0% to $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a $3.4 million increase in real estate brokerage revenues that was generated by the increased volume of transactions closed by the real estate brokerage operations and an increase in equity in earnings of joint ventures for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.
Costs, Expense and Contribution Margin
Homebuilding. Homebuilding cost of sales increased 74.0% to $157.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $90.3 million for the same period in 2000. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 65.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 76.9% for the same period in 2000. The decrease in cost of sales percentage was primarily due to the increase in the average sales price of single- and multi-family homes and tower residence units and the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce construction and land development costs and improve operating efficiencies.
Overall, homebuilding contribution margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 34.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 23.1% for the same period in 2000. Contribution margin percentage from single- and multi-family homebuilding increased to 21.9% compared to 15.8% for the same period in 2000, due primarily to a higher average sales price and reduced cost of construction as a percentage of revenue. The mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding contribution margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased to 45.3% compared to 35.2% for the same period in 2000 reflecting the greater proportion of higher margin, ultra-luxury towers under construction.
Parcel and lot. The cost of parcel and lot sales increased to 84.8% of related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 51.1% for the same period in 2000. Total costs of sales decreased to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease in contribution margin percentage to 15.2% for 2001 compared to
24
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
48.9% for 2000 was due primarily to the change in mix of parcel and lot sales closed in the respective periods.
Amenity membership and operations. The amenity cost of sales decreased to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2000 due primarily to the turnover of the Bay Colony Golf Club to its members in January 2001 and the sale of the Burnt Store marina and restaurant operations in December 2000. The associated contribution margin increased to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 2.9% for the same period in 2000, due primarily to an increase in membership sales at higher margin equity clubs.
Real estate services and other.The real estate services and other costs increased 31.4% to $15.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2000 due primarily to costs associated with the increased volume of real estate brokerage transactions. The associated contribution margin increased to 20.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 3.3% for the same period in 2000, due primarily to an increase in real estate brokerage and mortgage banking contribution margins. The increase in real estate brokerage contribution margin is primarily the result of growth in volume of transactions and production per agent. The increase in mortgage banking contribution margin is primarily the result of increased refinancing and purchase mortgage closings with non-WCI customers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes, as a percentage of revenues were 9.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 9.7% for the same period in 2000. The increase to $26.1 million for 2001 compared to $18.0 million for 2000 was primarily due to increased wages, benefit costs and administrative expenses associated with the increase in personnel to support the Company’s growth and increased sales and marketing expenditures related to newly introduced communities, subdivisions and towers under development.
Interest expense,net of capitalization, increased 30.6% to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $11.1 million for the same period in 2000. Interest incurred increased 3.8% to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is the result of an increase in average debt outstanding offset by a decrease in the effective borrowing rate. As a percentage of total revenue, interest incurred declined to 6.1% for 2001 compared to 8.7% of total revenue for 2000. Amortization of previously capitalized interest increased by $1.4 million to 1.8% of total revenue for 2001 compared to 2.0% of total revenue for 2000 due primarily to the change in the mix of real estate sold between the two periods. Interest capitalized decreased 16.5% to $8.1 million for 2001 compared to $9.7 million in 2000 due primarily to a change in the mix of properties undergoing active development.
Nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2000
Revenues and Sales
Homebuilding. Total homebuilding revenues increased 94.5% to $571.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $293.8 million for the same period in 2000. Single- and multi-family homebuilding revenues increased 56.0% to $278.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $178.5 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in single- and multi-family homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 175 unit or 21.4% increase in the number of homes closed and a 28.5% increase in the average selling price of homes closed to $280,000 in 2001 from $218,000 in 2000.

The increase in closings was a direct result of the larger backlog at the beginning of the period as compared to the beginning of the same period in 2000 and increased home sales in newly introduced subdivisions in the Harbour Isles, Pelican Sound and Waterlefe communities. The increase in the average selling price was primarily attributable to increasing prices in certain of the Company’s existing communities that were possible due to strong market demand and an increase in the number of higher-priced units sold.
The value of net new contracts for single- and multi-family homebuilding increased 20.2% to $441.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $367.4 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in the value of net new contracts was primarily the result of an increase in the average price of homes contracted to $326,000 from $265,000. The increase in the average price was primarily the result of both price increases and sales mix factors such as home location, size and community appeal.
Mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding revenues increased 154.1% to $293.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $115.3 million for the same period in 2000.

The increase in mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding revenues was attributable primarily to an increase in the number of tower residences that qualified for recognition of revenue and an increase in the value of sold units in those towers. The Company delivered tower units or met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition in 13 towers for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 11 towers in the same period in 2000.
The value of net new contracts for mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding increased 34.8% to $484.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $359.3 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in net new contracts was primarily the result of an increase in the number of tower units that converted from reservation to contract during the period. Eight towers converted from reservation to contract in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to five in the same period in 2000. Backlog at September 30, 2001 was $482.2 million or 31.7% higher than the $366.2 million at
26
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
September 30, 2000. The increase in backlog was due primarily to the 16.7% increase in the average price of total tower units under contract from $1.2 million in 2000 to $1.4 million in 2001.
Parcel and lot. Total parcel and lot revenues decreased 69.1% to $30.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $100.0 million for the same period in 2000. Sales of lots decreased 66.9% to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $35.7 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the sell-out of lots in our subdivisions located in Bay Colony, Pelican Landing and Heron Bay communities and the near sell-out of lots in the final phase of the Harbour Isles community. Sales of residential and commercial parcels decreased 70.3% to $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $64.3 million for the same period in 2000. Sales of residential parcels continued to decrease due primarily to management’s decision to hold most developed and undeveloped land inventory for homebuilding purposes and the sell-out of the few residential parcels that were not designated for homebuilding, while commercial parcel sales decreased primarily as a result of fewer available parcels for sale.
Amenity membership and operations. Total amenity membership and operating revenues decreased 14.3% to $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $49.7 million for the same period in 2000. Equity membership revenues decreased 31.5% to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2000, while membership dues and amenity services revenue decreased 6.0% to $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $33.2 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease in equity membership revenues was primarily the result of the final sell-out of Bay Colony Golf Club memberships which was offset by price increases in certain equity club membership programs in 2001 and an increase in equity membership revenues at the Colony Golf Club. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable primarily to the turnover of Bay Colony Golf Club to its members at the beginning of 2001 and the sale of the Burnt Store marina and restaurant operations in December 2000.
Real estate services and other. Real estate services and other revenues increased 35.6% to $58.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $43.3 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a $13.4 million increase in real estate brokerage revenues that was generated by the increased volume of transactions closed by the real estate brokerage operation. The increase in real estate brokerage transactions was primarily the result of establishing additional Prudential Florida WCI Realty offices during the period subsequent to September 30, 2000.
Costs, Expense and Contribution Margin
Homebuilding. Homebuilding cost of sales increased 72.0% to $386.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $224.7 million for the same period in 2000. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 67.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 76.5% for the same period in 2000. The decrease in cost of sales percentage was primarily due to the increase in the average sales price of single- and multi-family homes and tower residence units and the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce construction and land development costs and improve operating efficiencies.
Overall, homebuilding contribution margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 32.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 23.5% for the same period in 2000. Contribution margin percentage from single- and multi-family homebuilding increased to 19.7% in 2001 from 14.4% in 2000 due primarily to a higher average sales price and reduced costs of construction and land development as a percentage of related revenue. Contribution margin percentage from mid-rise and high-rise
27
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
homebuilding increased to 44.4% compared to 37.6% for the same period in 2000 reflecting the greater proportion of higher margin, ultra-luxury towers under construction.
Parcel and lot. The cost of parcel and lot sales increased to 63.0% of related revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 42.2% for the same period in 2000. Total costs of sales decreased to $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $42.2 million for the same period in 2000 due primarily to a decrease in total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in cost of sales percentage and the associated decrease in contribution margin percentage were due primarily to the change in mix of parcel and lot sales closed in the respective periods.
Amenity membership and operations. The amenity cost of sales decreased to $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $40.2 million for the same period in 2000 due primarily to the turnover of Bay Colony Golf Club to its members in January 2001 and the sale of the Burnt Store marina and restaurant operations in December 2000. The associated contribution margin decreased to 18.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 19.1% for the same period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in the lower margin amenity operations as a percentage of the total amenity membership and operations contribution margin for the respective periods.
Real estate services and other.The real estate services and other costs increased 41.4% to $45.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $32.4 million for the same period in 2000 due primarily to the costs associated with the increased volume of real estate brokerage transactions. The associated contribution margin decreased to 21.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 25.0% for the same period in 2000, primarily due to an increase in the lower margin real estate brokerage operations compared to the combined real estate services and other operations for the respective periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses,including real estate taxes, as a percentage of revenues were 11.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and was unchanged compared to the same period in 2000. The increase to $77.7 million for 2001 compared to $53.8 million for 2000 was primarily due to increased wages, benefits costs and administrative expenses associated with the increase in personnel to support the Company’s growth and increased sales and marketing expenditures related to newly introduced communities, subdivisions and towers under development.
Interest expense,net of capitalization, increased 27.6% to $39.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $31.2 million for the same period in 2000. Interest incurred increased 2.8% to $47.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $46.2 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in average debt outstanding offset by a decrease in the effective borrowing rate. As a percentage of total revenue, interest incurred declined to 6.7% for 2001 compared to 9.5% of total revenue for 2000. Amortization of previously capitalized interest increased by $5.7 million to 1.9% of total revenue for 2001 compared to 1.6% of total revenue for 2000 due to the change in the mix of real estate sold between the two periods. Interest capitalized decreased 9.1% to $24.1 million for 2001 compared to $26.5 million in 2000 due primarily to a change in the mix of properties undergoing active development.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities. The Company finances its land acquisitions, land improvements, homebuilding,
28
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
development and construction activities from internally generated funds, credit agreements with financial institutions and public debt. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43.9 million.
Cash flows from operations used $166.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $36.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash flow from operations before net inventory additions and contracts receivable has improved to $98.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $76.7 million for the comparable period in 2000. Net inventory additions increased to $169.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $117.8 million added in the first nine months of 2000. The $51.5 million increase is primarily related to increased single- and multi-family home inventories that are under contract for delivery during the next six months and, to a lesser degree, tower inventories that have not yet qualified for revenue recognition and land acquisitions. Land acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 totaled approximately $74.0 million and $63.0 million, respectively. Likewise, the increase in contracts receivable of $95.9 million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to a decrease of $4.2 million during the first nine months of 2000 reflects the substantial increase in the value of tower units under contract that are now being constructed and that have met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition. The Company expects real estate inventories will continue to increase as it is currently negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities.
Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 included $21.3 million of net additions to property and equipment compared to $6.1 million in the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cash was provided from net mortgage notes receivable collections of $7.3 million compared to cash uses of $598,000 in the same period in 2000. The Company anticipates cash flows used in investing activities will increase with development of current and future amenity operations.
Financing activities provided cash of $168.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to cash provided of $27.8 million in the same period in 2000. The cash inflow was primarily the result of the issuance of $350 million in senior subordinated notes, repayments of $197.9 million for mortgages and notes payable, revolving line of credit, subordinated notes, finance subsidiary debt, debt issue costs associated with borrowings and net borrowings of $11.4 million on community development district obligations. A portion of the net cash proceeds from the senior subordinated notes were used to repay the outstanding balance of the revolving line of credit, mortgages and notes payable and land repurchase obligations.
The senior secured credit facility allows the Company to borrow and repay up to the maximum amount under the $200 million revolving loan subject to maintaining an adequate collateral borrowing base. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $193.7 million available for borrowing under the senior secured credit facility and $6.3 million committed pursuant to letters of credit.
The Company released 11 towers for reservation during the first nine months of 2001, of which five are expected to commence construction prior to the end of the year and the remaining in 2002. The Company intends to use construction loans and customer deposits to construct high-rise towers. After the construction loans are repaid from the proceeds of closings with buyers, remaining proceeds will be available for general use. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had construction loans in place for six towers with $68.7 million outstanding and $124.9 million of remaining undrawn commitments. In
29
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
addition, the Company has three towers scheduled to close in the balance of 2001 or early 2002 which will generate significant cash flow after repayment of the related construction loans.
During the course of future operations, the Company plans to acquire developed and undeveloped land, which will be used in the homebuilding, tower and amenities lines of business. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had contracts or options aggregating $111.1 million to acquire approximately 2,259 acres of land that are expected to yield approximately 4,000 residential units. Payments of approximately $3.4 million are expected to be made during 2001 with the balance paid in future years. The Company will incur land development costs for improving overall community infrastructure such as water, sewer, streets and landscaping and for developing the amenity packages such as golf courses, marinas and club facilities. A significant portion of these costs are incurred in the initial phases of a project. The Company has recently commenced development of two new projects, Sun City Center – Fort Myers and Tarpon Bay, with anticipated initial home closings in late 2001 or 2002, and expects to commence development of two other communities this year, Evergrene and Tuscany Reserve, where we anticipate closings to start in 2003.
The Company incurs costs to improve lots and to construct residences for the traditional homebuilding business several months in advance of delivering the home to the buyers and closing the sale. The Company has historically experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in results on a quarterly basis. A substantial percentage of homes are targeted towards retirement and second-home buyers who frequently prefer to take ownership of their homes during the fall. Therefore, although new home contracts are obtained throughout the year, a significant portion of single- and multi-family home closings will occur during the fourth calendar quarter. As of September 30, 2001, the Company has 1,115 units in backlog, a substantial portion of which are under construction for delivery during the balance of 2001. Accordingly, the Company expects to incur significant costs in the next few months and receive cash proceeds from the closing of these units later in the year.
The Company’s real estate development is dependent upon the availability of funds to finance current and future development. The Company plans to continue to grow and expects to fund this growth through the generation of cash flow from operations, from the availability of funds under its credit facility and from new construction loans and from future public offerings. The Company believes it has adequate resources and sufficient credit line facilities to satisfy its current and reasonably anticipated future requirements to acquire capital assets and land, to develop land improvements and construction activities and to meet any other needs of its business, both on a short- and long-term basis. If the Company does not have sufficient capital resources to fund its development and expansion, projects may be delayed, resulting in possible adverse effects on the Company’s results of operations. No assurance can be given as to the terms, availability or cost of any future financing the Company may need. If the Company is at any time unable to service its debt, refinancing or obtaining additional financing may be required and may not be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., considerable economic and political uncertainties could have adverse effects on consumer buying behavior, construction costs, availability of labor and materials and other factors affecting the Company and the homebuilding industry generally.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | | Legal Proceedings |
|
| | In May 2000, Richard Ahlborg, Carol Ahlborg and other individuals who purchased lots in Pelican Landing filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Fort Myers Division. The lawsuit seeks class action status and was instituted against the Company and its subsidiary, WCI Realty, Inc. The lawsuit arose out of a preferred builder program under which plaintiffs purchased vacant lots and then contracted with a builder of their choice to construct a residence on their lots. In consideration of the extensive costs incurred by the Company and WCI Realty associated with the marketing, sales and advertising of the community for the benefit of the builders, who participated in the program, these builders were required to pay a marketing fee to WCI Realty based on a percentage of the construction cost of the home. Plaintiffs assert that the Company had an obligation to disclose to them that the preferred builder would pay a marketing fee to the Company. The plaintiffs have demanded unspecified money damages and have alleged, among other things, violation of the federal Racketeering, Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Since the Court has not yet ruled on whether to certify this lawsuit as a class, the litigation is still in its early stages. Accordingly, the Company is not able to estimate the range of possible loss. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company has objected to the certification of this lawsuit as a class action. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this action. |
Item 4. | | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
|
| | On August 24, 2001, Watermark Communities Inc. (Watermark), the sole stockholder of the Company, upon waiver of notice of time, place and purpose of a special meeting of stockholders adopted by unanimous written consent of the sole stockholder to increase the total number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which the Company has the authority to issue from two hundred thousand (200,000) shares to fifty million (50,000,000) shares. This action resulted in Watermark and the Company both being authorized to issue fifty million shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Prior to August 31, 2001, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Watermark. On August 31, 2001, Watermark was merged into the Company. At the time of the merger, each outstanding share of Watermark common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. |
