Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Form 10-QSB, other than historical financial information, may consist of forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Such statements are based upon many assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those identified in this document and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Overview:
The Company builds quality homes with custom features at moderate prices. The homes are designed principally for the entry level or “moving up” home buyers’ market, as well as the retirement segment of such market. Residences constructed and marketed by the Company generally range in size from 1,600 to 4,000 square feet and have purchase prices ranging from $190,000 to $1,500,000. In the past, certain of the Company’s projects consisted of smaller units and were geared more to the lower-end buyer. The current focus of the Company is on middle to higher-end homes, including luxury condominiums and townhomes in several upscale developments. The Company markets the residences through commissioned employees and independent real estate brokers in the Company’s market area, which consists of the West Coast of the State of Florida, primarily, Sarasota, Manatee, Collier, Pasco and Hillsborough Counties and more recently, two multi-family developments on the East Coast of Florida. Residential unit sales are usually conducted from sales offices located in furnished models in each subdivision where the Company is active. The Company also typically constructs a limited number of speculative homes in each residential subdivision in which it is active in order to enhance marketing and sales activities.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition:
Income from sales is recorded when title to the property is conveyed to the buyer subject to the buyer’s financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the transaction.
Recent Accounting Policies:
In May 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 was effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The Company has determined the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123 (R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed, which will usually be the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) shall be effective for public entities that file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has determined the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Results of Operations:
Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows:
Revenues:
Home and Lot Sales:
The Company’s home and lot sales decreased by approximately $6,399,000 to approximately $8,919,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $15,318,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to the type of project we are currently developing and the cyclical nature of these projects.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company closed 21 homes and lots as compared to 48 homes and lots in the three month period ended June 30, 2004. However, during the three month period ended June 30, 2005, the average selling price of the homes closed increased to $366,000 as compared to $280,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. Lot sales during this period generated approximately $1,227,000 in revenues as compared to lot sales aggregating approximately $1,877,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Although the revenues for lot sales increased, the average selling price of those lots declined to $72,000 as compared to $57,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 2004.
Costs and expenses:
Cost of sales:
Cost of sales decreased by approximately $4,494,000 to approximately $7,597,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $12,091,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The cost as a percent of sales approximated 85% and 79% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Total cost of sales has increased due to closing larger and more expensive homes than in the prior year. However, the cost of sales as a percent of sales has increased due to the product mix of the homes sold in the quarter. A major community under development, Miramar at Lakewood Ranch, experienced its first 4 closings in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. These first closings exhibited a lower than average margin due to the additional costs associated with start-up of the development, as well as lower prices points for initial units offered as incentives to purchase. In the other multi-family project currently under development, 8 units at Edgewater Moorings were closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, all of which 4 were lower priced and lower margin park homes. The remaining 9 closings represented single family homes. The margins on the premium lake multi-family units are significantly better than either the multi-family park homes or other developments involving single-family units.
Selling, general and administrative:
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by approximately $486,000 to approximately $1,357,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $1,843,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. General and administrative costs increased approximately $270,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of increased payroll, a steep increase in healthcare, and other insurance costs. Selling expenses decreased approximately $756,000 during the same period primarily due to reductions in the sales force as communities sold out, eliminating the requirements for on-site sales staff and model homes.
Interest:
Interest expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 by approximately $3,000. Total debt outstanding has increased for the period. However when compared to that of the prior year, the majority of the debt for the current period relates to projects under development. As a result, most of the interest expense for the period is capitalized rather than expensed.
Income (loss) from operations:
As a result of the aforementioned, the Company’s income (loss) from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $(71,000) as compared to approximately $1,398,000 for the comparable prior quarter. However, approximately $(149,000) of income (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and approximately $856,000 of income during the three months ended June 30, 2003 was applicable to the interest of our joint venture partners.
Net Income (loss):
As a result of the aforementioned, the Company recognized income (loss) after taxes and allocation of income to the joint venture partners of approximately $(220,000), or $(0.02) per share, and $336,000, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net assets of approximately $6,046,000 including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,616,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company’s cash position decreased by approximately $941,000. Its operating activities used approximately $5,516,000 of cash. This was primarily related to the increase in inventories of approximately $6,530,000 for homes closed in the period, an increase of approximately $1,978,000 in customer deposits and advances, loss applicable to the interest of joint venture partners of approximately ($149,000), and loss from operations of approximately ($220,000), offset by a decrease of approximately $702,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. In addition, our investing activities utilized approximately $46,000 of cash for the purchase of property and equipment. The Company’s financing activities provided approximately $4,622,000 of cash principally through proceeds of its mortgages and notes payable of approximately $10,637,000 offset by the repayments of its mortgages and notes payable of approximately $6,015,000. The Company’s principal source of financing has historically been construction financing which is based on the value of the underlying projects. The Company has additional committed bank lines of credit of approximately $27,200,000 to finance projects currently under development.
As a result of the cyclical nature of the projects we are currently developing, and the delays caused by the hurricanes, the Company continues to maintain a significant backlog of homes expected to be delivered in the current and next two fiscal years. As of June 30, 2005, contracts are in place for closing 373 homes and lots, of which 248 are scheduled to close in the current fiscal year. The anticipated revenue associated with these contracts totals approximately $132,226,000, of which approximately $87,306,000 is associated with units scheduled to close in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006, and the remaining approximately $44,919,000 is associated with the 125 units scheduled to close in the fiscal years ending March 31, 2006 and 2007. The table below summarizes the contracts and associated revenue in place as of June 30, 2005:

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15 as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Basis of presentation:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Whitehall Limited, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2005, their results of operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and their cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed in or omitted from these financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2004 and the notes thereto and the other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (the “Form 10-KSB”) for the year ended March 31, 2004 that was previously filed with the SEC.
The results of the Company’s operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending March 31, 2006.
Significant accounting policies and line of business have not changed from those described in the 2004 Form 10-KSB.
Note 2 — Earnings (loss) per common share:
The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share and, if appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”).
