NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
(In thousands, except share data)
1. | | Basis of Presentation |
|
| | The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by management without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2001 audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. 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. Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
|
| | The Company historically has experienced and expects to experience variability in quarterly results. The consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
|
2. | | Changes in Shareholders’ Equity |
|
| | During March 2002, the Company issued 7,935,000 shares of common stock in a public offering realizing approximately $138,531 in aggregate net proceeds. The net proceeds were used to repay approximately $51,095 of outstanding construction loans and $62,100 of outstanding balance of the revolver portion of our senior secured credit facility. |
|
3. | | New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
| | Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |
|
| | In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. In addition to rescinding SFAS 4, 44 and 64 and amending SFAS 13, SFAS 145 establishes a financial reporting standard for classification of extinguishment of debt in the financial statements in accordance with APB 30. SFAS 145 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
|
4. | | Segment Information |
|
| | The Company operates in three reportable business segments: homebuilding, parcel and lot and amenity membership and operations. Revenues from segments below the quantitative thresholds are primarily attributable to real estate services such as brokerage, title company, property management and mortgage banking operations (collectively “All Other”). The table below presents information about reported operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented since the Company does not prepare such information. |

8. | | Goodwill and Other Intangibles and Implementation of SFAS 142 |
|
| | Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. 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. The Company completed the required tests for impairment of goodwill and does not currently believe its goodwill is impaired. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has allocated goodwill to its operating segments as of March 31, 2002 as follows: |
| | | | |
Homebuilding | | $ | 16,097 | |
|

|
|
All other | | | 7,392 | |
| | |
| |
| | $ | 28,854 | |
| | |
| |
| | Intangible assets subject to amortization had accumulated amortization of $1,269 and $1,152 at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows: |

9. | | Commitments and Contingencies |
|
| | From time to time, the Company has been involved in various litigation matters involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to its business. In addition, in May 2000, individuals filed a lawsuit against the Company, which seeks class action status, and arising 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 March 2002 the court denied plaintiffs motion for class certification. Plaintiffs did not appeal the ruling. The Company does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this action. |
|
10. | | Subsequent Event |
|
| | The Company issued $200,000 of 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes (the Notes) on April 24, 2002 in a private placement. Effective May 2, 2002, 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 not completed as of the date of this filing. The terms of the registered Notes will be substantially identical to the unregistered Notes, except the registered Notes will not contain transfer restrictions. The Notes mature May 1, 2012 and interest is payable |

| | semi-annually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1 commencing on November 1, 2002. The Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. The Notes indenture agreement contains certain financial and operational covenants that may limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase capital stock and make investment acquisitions. Proceeds from the Notes were used to repay $174,800 of the senior secured credit facility, $11,200 of other debt and for general corporate purposes. |
|
11. | | Supplemental Guarantor Information |
|
| | Obligations to pay principal and interest on the Company’s senior subordinated notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including its only significant subsidiary, Bay Colony-Gateway, Inc. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not provided, as subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company and guarantees are full, unconditional, and joint and several. Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Company’s guarantors is presented below. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
In the first quarter, we achieved a significant increase in revenues and earnings driven primarily by a larger number and greater value of sold tower units under construction and higher margins and unit average price in traditional homebuilding operations. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002, increased 17.5% to $231.4 million, from $197.0 million for the comparable period in 2001. Total contribution margin for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased 33.0% to $78.1 million, from $58.7 million for the comparable period in 2001. Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased 68.9% to $30.9 million, from $18.3 million for the comparable period in 2001. Income tax expense increased 65.8% to $12.1 million, from $7.3 million for the comparable period in 2001. The effective income tax rate was 39.0% and 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, we recognized a $1.9 million (net of tax) extraordinary loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early repayment of debt in conjunction with the offering of $250 million in senior subordinated notes. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased 107.7% to $18.9 million, from $9.1 million for the comparable period in 2001. As of January 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 and accordingly, no longer amortize goodwill. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, amortization of goodwill was approximately $804,000.
In March 2002, we issued 7,935,000 shares of common stock in a public offering realizing approximately $138.5 million in net proceeds. Our operating results for the three months ended and the issuance of common stock contributed to a 37.7% increase in shareholders’ equity to $577.1 million at March 31, 2002. The increase in shareholders’ equity and the use of initial public offering proceeds for repayment of existing debt contributed to a reduction in the debt-to-capitalization ratio to 53.6% at March 31, 2002 compared to 62.0% at December 31, 2001.

Single and multi-family homebuilding revenues increased 8.1% to $70.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to $65.5 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in revenues was attributable to a 14.5% increase in the average price per home closed to $315,000 in 2002 from $275,000 in 2001. The increase in the average price per home closed was attributable to closings of new homes in our higher priced communities included in the Palm Beach and Southwest Florida regions. The number of homes closed decreased to 225 units from 238 units due to (1) a lower number of homes in backlog at the beginning of 2002 compared to the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of 2001 and (2) the close out of a large community in the
16
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Southeast Florida region offset by an increase in closings from existing and new communities in the Southeast and Southwest Florida regions.
Single and multi-family homebuilding contribution margin increased 65.5% to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2001. Contribution margin percentage increased to 27.1% compared to 17.7% for the comparable period in 2001. The increases were due primarily to closings of higher priced homes that produced higher margins and ongoing initiatives to reduce development and construction costs.
The value of net new contracts for single and multi-family homebuilding decreased to $156.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $171.1 million for the same period in 2001. The average sales price decreased 5.9% to $314,000 from $334,000. The decreases are primarily attributable to (1) the close out of a community located in the Southeast Florida region; (2) decreased product availability in certain communities located in the Southwest Florida region offset by increased sales at existing and new communities throughout our other regions; and (3) change in the product mix of homes sold. Backlog at March 31, 2002 was $351.3 million or 3.1% higher than the $340.9 million at March 31, 2001. The increase in backlog was primarily the result of a 19.3% increase in the average sales price of homes under contract to $396,000 in 2002 compared to $332,000 in 2001.

Mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding revenues increased 46.0% to $114.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $78.1 million for the same period in 2001. 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. We delivered tower units or met the requirements for percentage of completion revenue recognition in sixteen towers in the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to eleven towers in the same period in 2001.
Mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding contribution margin increased 38.1% to $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 2001. The mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding contribution margin percentage for the three months ended decreased to 39.7% compared to 42.0% for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of changes in the product mix of units under contract among those towers.
The value of net new contracts for mid-rise and high-rise homebuilding increased 37.2% to $94.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $68.5 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in net new contracts was primarily the result of a 5.7% increase in the number of units contracted to 92 from 87 in the comparable period in 2001, and a 27.1% increase in the average selling price for each new contract to $1.0 million from $787,000 in the same period in 2001. Backlog at March 31, 2002 was $452.8 million or 61.1% higher than the $281.1 million at March 31, 2001. The increase in backlog was due primarily to the increased number of net
17
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
new contracts and the 16.7% increase in the average price of tower units under contract to $1.4 million in 2002 from $1.2 million in 2001.
Parcel and lot
Parcel and lot revenues decreased 74.4% to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2001. Sales of residential parcels continued to decrease due to 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. Lot sales decreased 40.0% to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a reduced number of lots remaining available for sale.
Parcel and lot contribution margin decreased to $2.6 million compared to $5.6 million, and the resulting contribution margin percentage increased to 63.4% compared to 35.0% in 2001. The increase in contribution margin percentage was primarily due to the change in mix of parcel and lot sales closed in the respective periods.
Amenity membership and operations
Amenity membership and operating revenues increased 4.1% to $20.1 million for the three month period ending March 31, 2002 compared to $19.3 million for the same period in 2001. Equity membership and marina slip sales increased 29.8% to $7.4 million for the three month period in 2002 compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2001, while membership dues and amenity service revenues decreased 6.6% to $12.7 million compared to $13.6 million. The increase in equity membership and marina slip revenue was attributable primarily to marina slip sales at our Gulf Harbour community. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable primarily to the turnover of our Gateway Golf and Country Club to its members in December 2001.
Amenity contribution margin increased to $5.3 million compared to $4.8 million, and the resulting contribution margin percentage increased to 26.4% compared to 24.9%. The increase in contribution margin and contribution margin percentage was attributable to higher margin equity membership and marina slip sales.
Real estate services and other
Real estate services and other revenues increased 23.8% to $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million increase in real estate brokerage revenues that was generated by the increased volume of transactions closed, a $1.6 million increase in equity in earnings of joint ventures and management fees and a $1.0 million increase in title, mortgage banking and other operations for the three months compared to the same period in 2001.
Contribution margin increased to $5.8 million compared to $3.9 million and the resulting contribution margin percentage increased to 25.9% compared to 21.5% for the same period in 2001, due primarily to the increase in equity in earnings of joint ventures and management fees and the result of growth in volume of transactions and production per agent.
Interest expense, net of capitalization
Interest expense, net of capitalization decreased 14.2% to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2001. Interest incurred decreased slightly to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2001. Amortization of previously capitalized interest decreased by $747,000 to 1.4% of total revenue for 2002
18
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
compared to 2.1% of total revenue for 2001 due primarily to the decrease in parcel and lot sales and the change in homebuilding product mix between the two periods. Interest capitalized increased 13.3% to $8.5 million for 2002 compared to $7.5 million in 2001 due to a greater book value of properties undergoing active development.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes, increased to $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $25.8 million for the comparable period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to (1) increased wages, benefits costs and administrative expenses associated with the increase in personnel to support our growth; (2) increased sales and marketing expenditures related to newly introduced communities, subdivisions and towers under development; and (3) increases in insurance premiums.
Liquidity and capital resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. We finance our land acquisitions, land improvements, homebuilding, development and construction activities from internally generated funds, credit agreements with financial institutions and other debt. As of March 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $31.0 million.
Net cash used in operations was $132.2 million for the period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to cash used in operations of $129.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Cash flow from operations before net inventory additions and contracts receivable and mortgages held for resale improved to $26.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2002 compared to $665,000 for the comparable period in 2001. Net inventory additions increased slightly to $80.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2002 compared to $79.1 million in 2001. Net inventory additions is primarily related to single- and multi-family home inventories that are under contract for delivery during the next six to nine months and, to a lesser degree, tower inventories that have not yet qualified for revenue recognition and land acquisitions. Contracts receivable increased by $77.9 million for 2002 compared to $51.4 million during 2001 reflecting the 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. Land acquisitions for the period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled approximately $41.7 million and $49.9 million, respectively. We expect real estate inventories will continue to increase as we are currently negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities.
Investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2002 included $7.7 million of net additions to property and equipment compared to $5.2 million in the same period in the prior year. For the period ended March 31, 2002, cash was provided from net mortgage notes receivable collections of $1.6 million compared to $2.7 million in the same period in 2001. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities will increase with development of current and future amenity operations.
Financing activities provided cash of $111.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2002 compared to cash provided of $97.4 million in the same period in 2001. The net cash inflow for the period ended March 31, 2002 was primarily the result of the issuance of 7.9 million shares of common stock in March 2002 resulting in net proceeds of $138.5 million, net of additional borrowings of $30.7 million and repayments totaling $57.8 million for mortgages and notes payable, term loan and other debt obligations.
The senior secured credit facility includes a $250 million amortizing term loan and $200 million revolving loan. The facility allows us to borrow and repay up to the maximum amount under the $200 million revolving loan subject to maintaining an adequate collateral borrowing base. The term loan requires semi-annual principal payments of $5.0 million commencing January 2002. On April 24, 2002, we issued $200 million 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes (the Notes). The Notes mature May 1, 2012 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1 commencing November 1, 2012. A portion of the proceeds from the Notes was
19
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
used to repay $145.0 million of the term loan balance. We are in the process of amending and restructuring our senior secured credit facility to provide for an unsecured $350 million revolving facility. As of March 31, 2002, we had $191.9 million available for borrowing under the senior secured credit facility and $8.1 million committed pursuant to letters of credit.
As of March 31, 2002, $18.0 million was available for borrowing and approximately $15.1 million was committed to fund mortgages under the warehouse facility maintained by our wholly owned finance subsidiary, Financial Resources Group, Inc.
The amount of community development district and improvement district bond obligations issued with respect to our communities totaled $204.2 million at March 31, 2002. We have accrued $35.0 million as of March 31, 2002, as our estimate of the amount of bond obligations that may be required to fund. We may, subject to limitations in the senior secured credit facility, use district financing to a greater extent in the future.
We have various interest rate swap agreements with counterparties that are major financial institutions. The swap agreements effectively fix the variable interest rate on approximately $90.0 million of the senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements expire February 2003 ($40.0 million) and February 2004 ($50.0 million). The swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. The interest rate swap agreements had a fair value and estimated cumulative unrealized loss of approximately $2.9 million at March 31, 2002.
We released four towers for reservation and commenced construction on three towers during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. We intend 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 March 31, 2002, we had construction loans in place for seven towers with $31.1 million outstanding and $295.7 million of remaining undrawn commitments. We expect to begin construction on four towers and to close five towers for the remainder of 2002, which will generate additional net cash flow after repayment of the related construction loans.
During the course of future operations, we plan to acquire developed and undeveloped land, which will be used in the homebuilding, tower and amenities lines of business. As of March 31, 2002, we had contracts or options aggregating $65.4 million, to acquire approximately 600 acres of land that are expected to yield approximately 1,500 residential units. Payments of approximately $11.1 million are expected to be made during 2002 with the balance paid in future years. We recently commenced development of two new projects and expect to commence development of three other communities this year, where we anticipate closings to start in 2003 and 2004.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on the variable rate portion of our debt. We hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into interest rate swap agreements to lock in a fixed interest rate.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 contains information about market risks under “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2002, the Company’s debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market value. In addition, the table sets forth the notional amounts and weighted average interest rates of the Company’s interest rate swaps.
