As used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to “the Company,” and “UCP” refer (1) prior to the July 23, 2013 completion of the initial public offering of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ( “Class A common stock”) of UCP, Inc. (the “IPO”) and related transactions, to UCP, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and (2) after the IPO and related transactions, to UCP, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries including UCP, LLC. UCP, Inc. had nominal assets and no liabilities, and conducted no operations prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO. Presentation of the historical results of UCP, Inc. would not be meaningful and accordingly the historical financial information prior to the IPO represents those of UCP, LLC. | ||||||||
Business Description and Organizational Structure of the Company: | ||||||||
Company’s Business | ||||||||
The Company is a homebuilder and land developer, with significant land acquisition and entitlement expertise, in growth markets in California and with a growing presence in attractive markets in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. | ||||||||
Company’s History | ||||||||
The Company’s operations began in 2004, and principally focused on acquiring land, entitling and developing it for residential construction, and selling residential lots to third-party homebuilders. In January 2008, the Company’s business was acquired by PICO Holdings, Inc. (“PICO”), a NASDAQ -listed, diversified holding company, which allowed the Company to accelerate the development of its business and gain access to a capital partner capable of funding its growth. In 2010, the Company formed Benchmark Communities, LLC, its wholly owned homebuilding subsidiary, to design, construct and sell high quality single-family homes. | ||||||||
Company’s Reorganization and the IPO | ||||||||
UCP, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 7, 2013 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PICO for the purpose of facilitating the IPO and to become a holding company owning, as its principal asset, membership interests in UCP, LLC. UCP, LLC is a holding company for the entities that directly or indirectly own and operate the Company’s business. The net proceeds of $105.5 million from the IPO, were used by UCP, Inc. for acquiring the 42.3% ownership in UCP, LLC. | ||||||||
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's capital structure was comprised solely of PICO's membership interests and the Company did not have any outstanding shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (up to the completion of the IPO) and 2012, the Company received $37.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively in contributions from PICO. As the Company generated excess cash, primarily from the sale of real estate inventories, it repaid $25.4 million and $14.4 million of the contributions to PICO during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (up to the completion of the IPO) and 2012, respectively. Subsequent to the IPO, the Company has not received additional contributions from PICO or repaid any additional contributions to PICO, and does not anticipate receiving additional contributions from PICO or repaying any remaining contributions to PICO. | ||||||||
Prior to the completion of the IPO, PICO allocated expenses to the Company for certain corporate services and other expenses. The material expenses allocated were payroll and benefits, which were allocated based on estimated time for the services provided. These allocations include payroll and benefits related to corporate services, such as executive management, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, human resources, risk management, tax and treasury. The total amounts of the expense allocations from PICO to the Company were approximately $62,000 and $292,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and $587,000 and$866,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these expenses $466,000 and $0 were payable as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These expense allocations are primarily reflected within general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's management believes the basis on which the expenses have been allocated is a reasonable reflection of the services and other benefits received by the Company during the periods presented, and that the financial statements reflect all of the costs of doing business related to the Company's operations, including expenses incurred by PICO on the Company's behalf. | ||||||||
Upon completion of the IPO, UCP, Inc. issued 7,750,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share and received net proceeds of $105.5 million after deducting the underwriting discount, and other offering costs. UCP, Inc. invested these net proceeds into UCP, LLC and acquired UCP, LLC’s newly-issued Series B Units (as defined below), which represents a 42.3% economic interest in UCP, LLC; PICO, through its ownership of UCP, LLC Series A Units (as defined below), holds the remaining 57.7% economic interest in UCP, LLC. | ||||||||
In connection with the IPO, UCP, LLC's Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, designate UCP, Inc. as the sole managing member of UCP, LLC and establish a new series of units (“UCP, LLC Series B Units”), which will be held solely by UCP, Inc., and reclassify PICO's units into 10,593,000 UCP, LLC Series A Units (the “UCP, LLC Series A Units”), which will be held solely by PICO (and its permitted transferees). UCP, Inc. purchased 7,750,000 UCP, LLC Series B Units through its investment in UCP, LLC with the net proceeds from the IPO. The UCP, LLC Series B Units rank on a parity with the UCP, LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Subsequent to the IPO and related transactions, as the sole managing member of UCP, LLC, UCP, Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs and will consolidate the financial results of UCP, LLC and its subsidiaries. | ||||||||
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of UCP, Inc. authorizes two classes of common stock: Class A common stock, and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B common stock”). Shares of Class A common stock represent 100% of the economic rights of the holders of all classes of UCP, Inc.'s common stock. Shares of Class B common stock, which are held exclusively by PICO, are not entitled to any dividends paid by, or rights upon liquidation of, UCP, Inc. PICO holds 100 shares of Class B common stock of UCP, Inc., providing PICO with no economic rights but entitling PICO, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by PICO, to one vote on matters presented to stockholders of UCP, Inc. for each UCP, LLC Series A Unit held by PICO. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. As of July 23, 2013, PICO held 10,593,000 UCP, LLC Series A Units and 100 shares of Class B common stock, which provide PICO with 57.7% of the aggregate voting power of UCP, Inc.'s outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, effectively providing PICO with control over the outcome of votes on all matters requiring approval by the Company’s stockholders. | ||||||||
Exchange Agreement | ||||||||
In connection with the IPO, UCP, Inc. entered into an Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which PICO (and its permitted transferees) have the right to cause UCP, Inc. to exchange PICO's UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of UCP, Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. As of September 30, 2013, giving effect to the Class A common stock that the Company would issue if PICO were to elect to exchange all of its UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of Class A common stock, the Company would have 18,343,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. In addition, in connection with the IPO, the Company issued an aggregate of 430,333 Class A restricted stock units to the members of its management team, other officers and employees and directors. These Class A restricted stock units vest at various points in time through 2015, and the Company will issue Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in connection with the vesting of each Class A restricted stock unit. Any UCP, LLC Series A Units being exchanged will be reclassified as UCP, LLC Series B Units in connection with such exchange. Exchanges by PICO of its UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of UCP, Inc. Class A common stock are expected to result, with respect to UCP, Inc., in increases in the tax basis of the assets of UCP, LLC that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that UCP, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets. | ||||||||
Tax Receivable Agreement | ||||||||
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) with PICO. Consequently, when PICO sells or exchanges its UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, potential income tax benefits are triggered. Such a transaction by PICO would result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by UCP, LLC at the time of an exchange. The increase in tax basis is expected to increase the depreciation and amortization income tax deductions and create other tax benefits and therefore may reduce the amount of income tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. Under the TRA, the Company generally is required to pay to PICO 85% of the applicable cash savings in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of sales or exchanges of the Series A units held by PICO for shares of Class A common stock, leaving the Company with 15% of the benefits of the tax savings. | ||||||||
Cash savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the Company’s actual income tax liability to the amount of income taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of UCP, LLC as a result of the exchanges. If the Company does not have taxable income in a given taxable year, no payment under the TRA for that taxable year is required because no tax savings will have been realized. | ||||||||
Estimating the amount of payments to be made under the TRA cannot be done reliably at this time because any increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments will vary depending on a number of factors, including: | ||||||||
• | the timing of any exchanges of UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock by PICO, as the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair market value of the depreciable and amortizable assets of UCP, LLC at the time of any such exchanges, and this value may fluctuate over time; | |||||||
• | the price of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of any exchanges of UCP, LLC Series A Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (since the increase in the Company’s share of the basis in the assets of UCP, LLC, as well as the increase in any tax deductions, will be related to the price of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of any such exchanges); | |||||||
• | the tax rates in effect at the time the Company uses the increased amortization and depreciation deductions or realize other tax benefits; and | |||||||
• | the amount, character and timing of the Company’s taxable income. | |||||||
The effects of the TRA on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet if PICO elects to exchange all or a portion of its UCP, LLC Series A Units for the Company’s Class A common stock will be as follows: | ||||||||
• | An increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increase in the tax basis of the assets owned by UCP, LLC based on enacted federal, state and local income tax rates at the date of the relevant transaction. To the extent the Company believes that it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize the full tax benefit represented by the deferred tax asset the Company will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; | |||||||
• | The Company will record 85% of the applicable cash tax savings in U.S. Federal and California State income taxes resulting from the increase in the tax basis of the UCP, LLC Series A Units and certain other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA as an increase in a payable due to PICO; and | |||||||
• | An increase to additional paid-in capital equal to the difference between the increase in deferred tax assets and the increase in the payable due to PICO. | |||||||
The Company has the right to terminate the TRA at any time. In addition, the TRA will terminate early if the Company breaches obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control. In either case, the Company’s payment obligations under the TRA would be accelerated and would become due and payable based on certain assumptions, including that (a) all the UCP, LLC Series A Units are deemed exchanged for their fair value, (b) the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and (c) the subsidiaries of UCP, LLC will sell certain nonamortizable assets (and realize certain related tax benefits) no later than a specified date. In each of these instances, the Company would be required to make an immediate payment to PICO equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits (discounted over the applicable amortization and depreciation periods for the assets the tax bases of which are stepped up (which could be as long as fifteen years in respect of intangibles and goodwill) at a discount rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points). The benefits would be payable even though, in certain circumstances, no UCP, LLC Series A Units are actually exchanged at the time of the accelerated payment under the TRA, thereby resulting in no corresponding tax basis step up at the time of such accelerated payment under the TRA. | ||||||||
Transition Services Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement | ||||||||
UCP, Inc. also entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with PICO, pursuant to which PICO provides certain services to UCP, Inc. for a limited period of time, including, among other things, accounting, human resources and information technology services. | ||||||||
Additionally, pursuant to an Investor Rights Agreement that UCP, Inc. entered into with PICO in connection with the IPO, PICO has the right to nominate two individuals for election to UCP, Inc.'s board of directors for as long as PICO owns 25% or more of the combined voting power of UCP, Inc.'s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and one individual for as long as it owns at least 10% (in each case, excluding shares of any of UCP, Inc.'s common stock that are subject to issuance upon the exercise or exchange of rights of conversion or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares). However, the Investor Rights Agreement does not entitle PICO to nominate individuals for election to UCP, Inc.'s board of directors if their election would result in PICO nominees comprising more than two of UCP, Inc.'s directors (for as long as PICO owns 25% or more of the combined voting power of UCP, Inc.'s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock) or one of UCP, Inc.'s directors (for as long as PICO owns at least 10% of the combined voting power of UCP, Inc.'s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock). | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation | ||||||||
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. | ||||||||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the prospectus dated July 17, 2013, relating to the IPO, filed by UCP, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 18, 2013. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. These consolidated and segment results are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future performance. | ||||||||
The consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, which completed on July 23, 2013, have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and have been derived from PICO’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. These stand-alone financial statements have been prepared using the historical results of operations and assets and liabilities attributed to the Company’s operations. | ||||||||
As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, the Company intends to take advantage of certain temporary exemptions from various reporting requirements, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the IPO, although if the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the Company would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. | ||||||||
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements: | ||||||||
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each reporting period. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the assessment of real estate impairments, warranty reserves, income taxes and contingent liabilities. While management believes that the carrying value of such assets and liabilities are appropriate as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from the estimates upon which the carrying values were based. | ||||||||
Related Party Transactions: | ||||||||
In connection to certain financings that occurred prior to the IPO, PICO agreed to indemnify the lenders for any losses it may suffer in connection with hazardous materials on certain financed properties. Those indemnities are provided in perpetuity. | ||||||||
The Company is often required to provide performance bonds to governmental authorities and others to ensure the completion of its projects. As of September 30, 2013, PICO had guaranteed the Company’s obligations under performance bonds with an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The Company does not expect PICO to provide additional guarantees, indemnities or any other forms of credit support after completion of the IPO. | ||||||||
As described above, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and TRA with PICO. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with PICO, with respect to the shares of its Class A common stock that it may receive in exchanges made pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. In connection with the IPO, the amendment and restatement of UCP, LLC's Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement was approved by PICO, the sole member of UCP, LLC prior to completion of the IPO. | ||||||||
Segment Reporting: | ||||||||
The Company determined that its operations are organized into two reportable segments: homebuilding and land development. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in the applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross margins, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results and underlying supply and demand in determining its reportable segments. | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents: | ||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. | ||||||||
Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales: | ||||||||
The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs, the purchase price of real estate, development costs and other allocated costs, including interest, during development and home construction. Applicable costs incurred after development or construction is substantially complete are charged to sales and marketing or general and administrative as appropriate. Pre-acquisition costs, including non-refundable land deposits, are expensed to cost of sales when the Company determines continuation of the related project is not probable. | ||||||||
Land, development and other common costs are typically allocated to real estate inventories using the relative-sales-value method. Direct home construction costs are recorded using the specific identification method. Cost of sales - homebuilding includes the allocation of construction costs of each home and all applicable land acquisition, real estate development and related common costs based upon the relative-sales-value of the home. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated on a relative-sales-value method to remaining homes in the community. Cost of sales - land development includes land acquisition and development costs, capitalized interest, impairment charges, abandonment charges for projects that are no longer economically viable, and real estate taxes. Abandonment charges during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $0 and $588,000, respectively, and were $12,000 and $656,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Inventory is stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value. | ||||||||
All real estate inventories are classified as held until the Company commits to a plan to sell the real estate, the real estate can be sold in its present condition, is being actively marketed for sale, and it is probable that the real estate will be sold within the next twelve months. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had real estate inventories of $9.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, classified as held for sale. | ||||||||
Impairment of Real Estate Inventories: | ||||||||
The Company records an impairment loss when conditions exist where the carrying amount of real estate is not fully recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in local housing market values and selling prices of comparable homes, significant decreases in gross margins and sales absorption rates, costs in excess of budget, and actual or projected cash flow losses. The Company prepares and analyzes cash flows at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. | ||||||||
If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired, such impairment will be measured based upon the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of such assets determined using the estimated future discounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the respective real estate inventories. Such losses, if any, are reported within cost of sales. No such losses were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||
When estimating undiscounted future cash flows of its real estate assets, the Company makes various assumptions, including: (i) expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered, including the number of homes available on the market, pricing and incentives being offered by us or other builders in other communities, and future sales price adjustments based on market and economic trends; (ii) expected sales pace and cancellation rates based on local housing market conditions, competition and historical trends; (iii) costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred, including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction costs, interest costs, indirect construction costs, and selling and marketing costs; (iv) alternative product offerings that may be offered that could have an impact on sales pace, sales price and/or building costs; and (v) alternative uses for the property. The Company did not have any real estate assets for which the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were not in excess of their carrying values. | ||||||||
Capitalization of Interest: | ||||||||
The Company capitalizes interest to real estate inventories during the period of development. Interest capitalized as a cost of real estate inventories is included in cost of sales - homebuilding or cost of sales - land development as related homes or real estate are sold. To the extent the Company’s debt exceeds the related asset under development, the Company expenses that portion of the interest incurred. Qualifying assets include projects that are actively selling or under development. | ||||||||
Fixed Assets, Net: | ||||||||
Fixed assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer software and hardware are depreciated over three years, office furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years, vehicles are depreciated over five years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or lease term and range from one to three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense is included in general and administrative expenses, and gains or losses on the sale of fixed assets are included in other income. | ||||||||
Receivables: | ||||||||
Receivables include amounts due from buyers for homes sold on the last day of the month and from utility companies for reimbursement of costs. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded. | ||||||||

Homebuilding and Land Development Sales and Profit Recognition: | ||||||||
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360 (“ASC Topic 360”), Property, Plant, and Equipment, revenue from home sales and other real estate sales are recorded and any profit is recognized when the respective sales are closed. Sales are closed when all conditions of escrow are met, title passes to the buyer, appropriate consideration is received and collection of associated receivables, if any, is reasonably assured and the Company has no continuing involvement. The Company does not offer financing to any buyers. Sales price incentives are accounted for as a reduction of revenues when the sale is recorded. If the earnings process is not complete, the sale and any related profits are deferred for recognition in future periods. Any profit recorded is based on the calculation of cost of sales, which is dependent on an allocation of costs. | ||||||||

The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $935,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $0 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, for the RSUs outstanding during the periods. | ||||||||
Warranty Reserves: | ||||||||
Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales - homebuilding in the period in which the related homebuilding revenue is recognized. Amounts accrued are based upon estimates of the amount the Company expects to pay for warranty work. The Company assesses the adequacy of its warranty reserves on a quarterly basis and adjusts the amounts recorded, if necessary. Warranty reserves are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||
Changes in warranty reserves are detailed in the table set forth below (in thousands): | ||||||||
September 30, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | |||||||
Warranty reserves, beginning of period | $ | 141 | $ | 102 | ||||
Warranty reserves accrued | 325 | 51 | ||||||
Warranty expenditures | (14 | ) | (12 | ) | ||||
Warranty reserves, end of period | $ | 452 | $ | 141 | ||||
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities: | ||||||||
The Company enters into purchase and option agreements for the purchase of real estate as part of the normal course of business. These purchase and option agreements enable the Company to acquire real estate at one or more future dates at pre-determined prices. The Company believes these acquisition structures reduce its financial risk associated with real estate acquisitions and holdings and allow the Company to better manage its cash position. | ||||||||
Based on the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance, the Company concluded that when it enters into a purchase agreement to acquire real estate from an entity, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), may be created. The Company evaluates all option and purchase agreements for real estate to determine whether they are a VIE. The applicable accounting guidance requires that for each VIE, the Company assess whether it is the primary beneficiary and, if it is, the Company consolidates the VIE in its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 810 - Consolidations, and would reflect such assets and liabilities as “Real estate inventories not owned.” | ||||||||
In order to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, it must first assess whether it has the ability to control the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the ability to determine the budget and scope of land development work, if any; the ability to control financing decisions for the VIE; the ability to acquire additional land into the VIE or dispose of land in the VIE not under contract with us; and the ability to change or amend the existing option contract with the VIE. If the Company is not determined to control such activities, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company does have the ability to control such activities, the Company will continue its analysis by determining if it is also expected to absorb a potentially significant amount of the VIE’s losses or, if no party absorbs the majority of such losses, if the Company will benefit from a potentially significant amount of the VIE’s expected gains. | ||||||||
In substantially all cases, creditors of the entities with which the Company have option agreements have no recourse against the Company and the maximum exposure to loss on the applicable option or purchase agreements is limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. Some of the Company’s option or purchase deposits may be refundable to the Company if certain contractual conditions are not performed by the party selling the lots. The Company did not consolidate any VIE at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | ||||||||
Price Participation Interests: | ||||||||
Certain land purchase contracts and other agreements include provisions for additional payments to the land sellers. These additional payments are contingent on certain future outcomes, such as, selling homes above a certain preset price or achieving an internal rate of return above a certain preset level. These additional payments, if triggered, are accounted for as cost of sale, when they become due, however, they are neither fully determinable, nor due, until the transfer of title to the buyer is complete. Accordingly, no liability is recorded until the sale is complete. | ||||||||
Income Taxes: | ||||||||
The Company’s provision for income tax expense includes federal, and state income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of the assets and liabilities. The liability method of accounting for income taxes also requires the Company to reflect the effect of a tax rate change on accumulated deferred income taxes in income in the period in which the change is enacted. | ||||||||
In assessing the realization of deferred income taxes, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that any deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which temporary differences become deductible. If it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company considered many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future transactions, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, historical use of tax attributes, and availability of tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about future events however, they are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considered three years of cumulative operating income or loss. | ||||||||
As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. If the Company’s assumptions change and the Company believes it will be able to realize these attributes, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. If the assumptions do not change, each period the Company could record an additional valuation allowance on any increases in the deferred tax assets. | ||||||||
The Company recognizes any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized unless it has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. | ||||||||
Noncontrolling Interest: | ||||||||
The Company reports the share of the results of operations that are attributable to other owners of its consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned, as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the statement of operations, the income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest is reported separately, and the accumulated income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, along with any changes in ownership of the subsidiary, is reported as a component of total equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the noncontrolling interest reported in the consolidated financial statements includes PICO’s share of 100% of the loss related to UCP, LLC prior to the completion of the IPO, and 57.7%of UCP, LLC’s loss subsequent to the completion of the IPO - see Note 11. | ||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: | ||||||||
In February 2013, guidance that requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay plus additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors was issued. The guidance further provides for disclosure of the nature and amount of the obligation. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Earnings (Loss) per share | ||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to UCP, Inc. earnings by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock is computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury method, if dilutive. The Company’s RSUs are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. The number of additional shares of Class A common stock related to these common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method. | ||||||
All losses prior to and up to the IPO were entirely allocable to noncontrolling interest. Consequently, only the loss allocable to UCP, Inc. from the period subsequent to the IPO is included in the net loss attributable to the stockholders of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Debt | ' | |||||||
Debt | ||||||||
The Company enters into acquisition, development and construction debt agreements to purchase and develop real estate inventories and for the construction of homes, which are secured primarily by the underlying real estate. Certain of the loans are funded in full at the initial loan closing and others are revolving facilities under which the Company may borrow, repay and redraw up to a specified amount during the term of the loan. Acquisition debts are due at various dates but are generally repaid when lots are released from the loans based upon a specific release price, as defined in each respective loan agreement, or the loans are refinanced at current prevailing rates. The construction and development debt is required to be repaid with proceeds from home closings based upon a specific release price, as defined in each respective loan agreement. Certain of the construction and development debt agreements include provisions that require minimum loan-to-value ratios. During the term of the loan, the lender may require the Company to obtain a third-party written appraisal of the underlying real estate collateral. If the appraised fair value of the collateral securing the loan is below the specified minimum, the Company may be required to make principal payments in order to maintain the required loan-to-value ratios. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the lenders have not requested, and the Company has not obtained, any such appraisals. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $64.7 million of aggregate loan commitments and approximately $19.8 million of unused loan commitments. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding debt was 5.8% and 6.7%, respectively. | ||||||||

Fair Value Disclosures | ||||||||||||||||
The accounting guidance regarding fair value disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in accordance with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets | |||||||||||||||
• | Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date | |||||||||||||||
• | Level 3—Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date | |||||||||||||||
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value: | ||||||||||||||||
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and receivable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt is based on cash flow models discounted at current market interest rates for similar instruments, which are based on Level 3 inputs. | ||||||||||||||||
The following presents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments which are not carried at fair value (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||||

The LTIP was adopted in July 2013 and provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of Class A common stock, Class A stock appreciation rights, Class A restricted stock, Class A restricted stock units and performance awards. The LTIP will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. The Company’s board of directors may terminate or amend the LTIP at any time, subject to any stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation. | |
The number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that may be issued under the LTIP is 1,834,300 shares. To the extent that shares of the Company’s Class A common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the LTIP are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of the Company’s Class A common stock generally shall again be available under the LTIP, subject to certain exceptions. | |
On July 23, 2013, the Company granted an aggregate of 430,333 RSUs under the LTIP to certain of its employees and members of its board of directors.

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. The Company is also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, the Company is subject to periodic examinations or inquiries by agencies administering these laws and regulations. | |
The Company records a reserve for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. The accrual for these matters is based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and the Company revises these estimates when necessary. | |
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, the Company generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or any eventual loss. If the evaluations indicate loss contingencies that could be material are not probable, but are reasonably possible, disclosure of the nature with an estimate of possible range of losses or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable is made. The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against it. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any accruals for asserted or unasserted matters. | |
The Company obtains surety bonds in the normal course of business to ensure completion of certain infrastructure improvements at its projects. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding surety bonds totaling $10.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The beneficiaries of the bonds are various municipalities. In the event that any such surety bond issued by a third party is called because the required improvements are not completed, the Company could be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the bond. |

Segment Information | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: homebuilding and land development. The Company’s homebuilding operations construct and sell single-family homes, primarily in California. The homebuilding reportable segment includes real estate of similar economic characteristics, including similar historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages, similar product types, production processes and methods of distribution. The land development operations develop and sell lots, primarily in California, and include real estate of similar economic characteristics, including similar historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages, similar product types, production processes and methods of distribution. The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as the condensed consolidated financial statements described in Note 1.

The Company reports the share of the results of operations that are attributable to other owners of its consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned, as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the statement of operations, the income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest is reported separately, and the accumulated income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, along with any changes in ownership of the subsidiary, is reported as a component of total equity. | ||||
Prior to the completion of its IPO and related transactions on July 23, 2013, UCP, LLC was a wholly owned subsidiary of PICO. Subsequent to the IPO and related transaction, PICO’s voting ownership in UCP decreased to 57.7%, consequently, the Company which holds 42.3% economic interest in UCP, LLC and is its sole managing member, will consolidate UCP, LLC. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, these transactions are accounted for at historical cost which resulted in recording an initial carrying value for the noncontrolling interest of $125.7 million and a $520,000 increase in members’ equity during the three months ended September 30, 2013. | ||||

Basis of Presentation | ' |
Basis of Presentation | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the prospectus dated July 17, 2013, relating to the IPO, filed by UCP, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 18, 2013. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. These consolidated and segment results are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future performance. | |
The consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, which completed on July 23, 2013, have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and have been derived from PICO’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. These stand-alone financial statements have been prepared using the historical results of operations and assets and liabilities attributed to the Company’s operations. | |
As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, the Company intends to take advantage of certain temporary exemptions from various reporting requirements, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the IPO, although if the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the Company would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. | |
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements | ' |
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements: | |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each reporting period. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the assessment of real estate impairments, warranty reserves, income taxes and contingent liabilities. While management believes that the carrying value of such assets and liabilities are appropriate as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from the estimates upon which the carrying values were based | |
Segment Reporting | ' |
Segment Reporting: | |
The Company determined that its operations are organized into two reportable segments: homebuilding and land development. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in the applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross margins, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results and underlying supply and demand in determining its reportable segments. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents: | |
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less | |
Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales | ' |
Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales: | |
The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs, the purchase price of real estate, development costs and other allocated costs, including interest, during development and home construction. Applicable costs incurred after development or construction is substantially complete are charged to sales and marketing or general and administrative as appropriate. Pre-acquisition costs, including non-refundable land deposits, are expensed to cost of sales when the Company determines continuation of the related project is not probable. | |
Land, development and other common costs are typically allocated to real estate inventories using the relative-sales-value method. Direct home construction costs are recorded using the specific identification method. Cost of sales - homebuilding includes the allocation of construction costs of each home and all applicable land acquisition, real estate development and related common costs based upon the relative-sales-value of the home. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated on a relative-sales-value method to remaining homes in the community. Cost of sales - land development includes land acquisition and development costs, capitalized interest, impairment charges, abandonment charges for projects that are no longer economically viable, and real estate taxes. Abandonment charges during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $0 and $588,000, respectively, and were $12,000 and $656,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Inventory is stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value. | |
All real estate inventories are classified as held until the Company commits to a plan to sell the real estate, the real estate can be sold in its present condition, is being actively marketed for sale, and it is probable that the real estate will be sold within the next twelve months. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had real estate inventories of $9.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, classified as held for sale. | |
Impairment of Real Estate Inventories | ' |
Impairment of Real Estate Inventories: | |
The Company records an impairment loss when conditions exist where the carrying amount of real estate is not fully recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in local housing market values and selling prices of comparable homes, significant decreases in gross margins and sales absorption rates, costs in excess of budget, and actual or projected cash flow losses. The Company prepares and analyzes cash flows at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. | |
If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired, such impairment will be measured based upon the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of such assets determined using the estimated future discounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the respective real estate inventories. Such losses, if any, are reported within cost of sales. No such losses were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. | |
When estimating undiscounted future cash flows of its real estate assets, the Company makes various assumptions, including: (i) expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered, including the number of homes available on the market, pricing and incentives being offered by us or other builders in other communities, and future sales price adjustments based on market and economic trends; (ii) expected sales pace and cancellation rates based on local housing market conditions, competition and historical trends; (iii) costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred, including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction costs, interest costs, indirect construction costs, and selling and marketing costs; (iv) alternative product offerings that may be offered that could have an impact on sales pace, sales price and/or building costs; and (v) alternative uses for the property. The Company did not have any real estate assets for which the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were not in excess of their carrying values. | |
Capitalization of Interest | ' |
Capitalization of Interest: | |
The Company capitalizes interest to real estate inventories during the period of development. Interest capitalized as a cost of real estate inventories is included in cost of sales - homebuilding or cost of sales - land development as related homes or real estate are sold. To the extent the Company’s debt exceeds the related asset under development, the Company expenses that portion of the interest incurred. Qualifying assets include projects that are actively selling or under development. | |
Fixed Assets, Net | ' |
Fixed Assets, Net: | |
Fixed assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer software and hardware are depreciated over three years, office furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years, vehicles are depreciated over five years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or lease term and range from one to three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense is included in general and administrative expenses, and gains or losses on the sale of fixed assets are included in other income. | |
Receivables | ' |
Receivables: | |
Receivables include amounts due from buyers for homes sold on the last day of the month and from utility companies for reimbursement of costs. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded. | |
Homebuilding and Land Development Sales and Income Recognition | ' |
Homebuilding and Land Development Sales and Profit Recognition: | |
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360 (“ASC Topic 360”), Property, Plant, and Equipment, revenue from home sales and other real estate sales are recorded and any profit is recognized when the respective sales are closed. Sales are closed when all conditions of escrow are met, title passes to the buyer, appropriate consideration is received and collection of associated receivables, if any, is reasonably assured and the Company has no continuing involvement. The Company does not offer financing to any buyers. Sales price incentives are accounted for as a reduction of revenues when the sale is recorded. If the earnings process is not complete, the sale and any related profits are deferred for recognition in future periods. Any profit recorded is based on the calculation of cost of sales, which is dependent on an allocation of costs. | |
Warranty Reserves | ' |
Warranty Reserves: | |
Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales - homebuilding in the period in which the related homebuilding revenue is recognized. Amounts accrued are based upon estimates of the amount the Company expects to pay for warranty work. The Company assesses the adequacy of its warranty reserves on a quarterly basis and adjusts the amounts recorded, if necessary. Warranty reserves are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. | |
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities | ' |
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities: | |
The Company enters into purchase and option agreements for the purchase of real estate as part of the normal course of business. These purchase and option agreements enable the Company to acquire real estate at one or more future dates at pre-determined prices. The Company believes these acquisition structures reduce its financial risk associated with real estate acquisitions and holdings and allow the Company to better manage its cash position. | |
Based on the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance, the Company concluded that when it enters into a purchase agreement to acquire real estate from an entity, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), may be created. The Company evaluates all option and purchase agreements for real estate to determine whether they are a VIE. The applicable accounting guidance requires that for each VIE, the Company assess whether it is the primary beneficiary and, if it is, the Company consolidates the VIE in its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 810 - Consolidations, and would reflect such assets and liabilities as “Real estate inventories not owned.” | |
In order to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, it must first assess whether it has the ability to control the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the ability to determine the budget and scope of land development work, if any; the ability to control financing decisions for the VIE; the ability to acquire additional land into the VIE or dispose of land in the VIE not under contract with us; and the ability to change or amend the existing option contract with the VIE. If the Company is not determined to control such activities, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company does have the ability to control such activities, the Company will continue its analysis by determining if it is also expected to absorb a potentially significant amount of the VIE’s losses or, if no party absorbs the majority of such losses, if the Company will benefit from a potentially significant amount of the VIE’s expected gains. | |
In substantially all cases, creditors of the entities with which the Company have option agreements have no recourse against the Company and the maximum exposure to loss on the applicable option or purchase agreements is limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. Some of the Company’s option or purchase deposits may be refundable to the Company if certain contractual conditions are not performed by the party selling the lots. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes: | |
The Company’s provision for income tax expense includes federal, and state income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of the assets and liabilities. The liability method of accounting for income taxes also requires the Company to reflect the effect of a tax rate change on accumulated deferred income taxes in income in the period in which the change is enacted. | |
In assessing the realization of deferred income taxes, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that any deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which temporary differences become deductible. If it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company considered many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future transactions, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, historical use of tax attributes, and availability of tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about future events however, they are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considered three years of cumulative operating income or loss. | |
As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. If the Company’s assumptions change and the Company believes it will be able to realize these attributes, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. If the assumptions do not change, each period the Company could record an additional valuation allowance on any increases in the deferred tax assets. | |
The Company recognizes any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized unless it has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. |
