1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and certain other entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying financial statements. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
2. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Revised Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was effective for NVR as of March 31, 2004. FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Expected losses are the expected negative variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets exclusive of its variable interests, and expected residual returns are the expected positive variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets, exclusive of variable interests. As discussed below, NVR has determined that it must evaluate the provisions of FIN 46R as it relates to NVR’s finished lot acquisition strategy.
NVR does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company typically acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements. The purchase agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts, and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. As of March 31, 2004, the Company controlled approximately 74,000 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $302,000 and $14,000, respectively.
This lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidating damage provision contained within the purchase agreement.

In other words, if NVR does not perform under the contract, NVR loses its deposit. NVR does not have any financial or specific performance guarantees, or completion obligations, under these purchase agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters forward fixed price purchase agreements have recourse to the general credit of NVR. NVR also does not share in an allocation of either the profit earned or loss incurred by any of these entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements.
On a very limited basis, NVR also obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“LLC’s”). All LLC’s are structured such that NVR is a non-controlling limited partner and is at risk only for the amount invested. NVR is not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any of the LLC’s debt. NVR enters into a standard fixed price purchase agreement to purchase lots from the LLC.
At March 31, 2004, NVR had an aggregate investment in fourteen (14) separate LLC’s totaling approximately $14,800, which controlled approximately 1,450 lots. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, NVR reduced cost of sales by approximately $103, which represents NVR’s share of the earnings of the LLC’s. NVR recognizes it’s share of the earnings of the LLC’s as a reduction of the cost basis of the lots at the time that the lot and related home is settled with an external customer.
Forward contracts, such as the fixed price purchase agreements utilized by NVR to acquire finished lot inventory, are deemed to be “variable interests” under FIN 46R. Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements, including the LLC’s, are examined under FIN 46R for possible consolidation by NVR. NVR has developed a methodology to determine whether it or the owner of the applicable development entity is the primary beneficiary of a development entity. The methodology used to evaluate NVR’s primary beneficiary status requires substantial management judgment and estimates. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the development entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of finished lots under contract. Because NVR does not have any contractual or ownership interests in the development entities with which it contracts to buy finished lots (other than the limited use of the LLC’s as discussed above), NVR does not have the ability to compel these development entities to provide financial or other data to assist NVR in the performance of the primary beneficiary evaluation. In many instances, these development entities provide little, if any, financial information. This lack of direct information from the development entities may result in NVR’s evaluation being conducted solely based on the aforementioned management judgments and estimates. Although management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess NVR’s primary beneficiary status relative to its involvement with the development entities from which NVR acquires finished lots, changes to the probabilities and the cash flow possibilities used in NVR’s evaluation could produce widely different conclusions regarding NVR’s status or non-status as a development entity’s primary beneficiary.
The Company has evaluated all of its fixed price purchase agreements and LLC arrangements and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of eighteen (18) of those development entities with which the agreements and arrangements are held. As a result, at March 31, 2004, NVR has consolidated such development entities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The effect of the consolidation at March 31, 2004 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $60,630 asAssets not owned, consolidated per FIN 46 with a corresponding inclusion of $38,893 asLiabilities Related to inventory not owned, consolidated per FIN 46, after elimination of intercompany items.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
Under FIN 46R, an enterprise with an interest in a variable interest entity or potential variable interest entity created before December 31, 2003, is not required to apply FIN 46R to that entity if the enterprise, after making an “exhaustive effort”, is unable to obtain the information necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate the variable interest entity for which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. NVR was unable to obtain the information necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate 21 separate development entities created before December 31, 2003 for which NVR determined it was the primary beneficiary. NVR has made, or has committed to make, aggregate deposits, totaling $21,490 to these 21 separate development entities, with a total aggregate purchase price for the finished lots of $151,351. The aggregate deposit made or committed to being made is NVR’s maximum exposure to loss. As noted above, because NVR does not have any contractual or ownership interests in the development entities with which it contracts to buy finished lots (other than the limited use of the LLC’s as discussed above), NVR does not have the ability to compel these development entities to provide financial or other data. Because NVR has no ownership rights in any of these 21 development entities, the consolidation of such entities would have had no impact on NVR’s net income or earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Aggregate activity with respect to the 21 development entities is included in the following table:

3. Stock-Based Compensation
At March 31, 2004, the Company had seven active stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, NVR has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations includingFinancial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation ofAPB No. 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

4. Earnings per Share
The following weighted average shares and share equivalents are used to calculate basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:
2004 | 2003 | |||
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding | 6,591,000 | 7,078,000 | ||
Shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive options and deferred compensation payable in shares of NVR common stock, based on average market price | 1,406,000 | 1,619,000 | ||
Diluted average number of shares outstanding | 7,997,000 | 8,697,000 | ||
Options issued under equity plans to purchase 87,834 and 102,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Excess Reorganization Value and Goodwill
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires goodwill and reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) to be tested for impairment on an annual basis subsequent to the year of adoption. The Company completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2004 and determined that there was no impairment of either goodwill or excess reorganization value.
8. Product Warranties
The Company establishes warranty and product liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to NVR’s homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment considering such factors as

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003
Overview
NVR’s primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings in the following markets:
Washington: | Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and adjacent counties in West Virginia | |
Baltimore: | Baltimore, MD metropolitan area | |
North: | Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania | |
South: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Richmond, VA |
To fully serve our homebuilding customers, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We believe we operate our business with a conservative operating strategy. We do not engage in land development and primarily construct homes on a pre-sold basis. This strategy allows us to maximize inventory turnover, which enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital. In addition, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets which management believes contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets.
Because we are not active in the land development business, our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build, and on our developers’ ability to deliver finished lots to timely meet the sales demands of our customers. We acquire finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements (“purchase agreements”). These purchase agreements require deposits in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the purchase agreement. However, this lot acquisition
14
Table of Contents
strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. As of March 31, 2004, we controlled approximately 74,000 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $302,000 and $14,000, respectively.
Consolidated revenues and net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased 18% and 15%, respectively, from the same period in 2003. The increase in net income coupled with our continuing share repurchase program resulted in a 25% increase in diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003.
The following table summarizes homebuilding settlements, new orders and backlog activity by region for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

Homebuilding Segment
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003
During the first quarter of 2004, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $860,685 compared to revenues of $723,375 in the first quarter of 2003. This 19% increase resulted primarily from a 10% increase in the average settlement price and an 8% increase in the number of homes settled. Average settlement prices increased throughout each of our markets quarter over quarter primarily as a result of strong housing demand within these markets. The higher backlog balance at the beginning of 2004 as compared to the beginning of 2003 led to increased settlements in the Baltimore, North and South regions. The 14% decrease in settlements in the Washington region is primarily attributable to development delays.
15
Table of Contents
Gross profit margins in the first quarter of 2004 were down slightly to 25.3% as compared to 25.4% in the first quarter of 2003. Despite higher lot and lumber costs in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003, our gross margin percentage increased in each of our four regions quarter over quarter due to continued favorable market conditions. However, our consolidated gross margin percentage was negatively impacted by a change in the regional mix of settlements, with a reduction in settlements in the Washington region. Gross margins in future periods may be negatively impacted by the current trend of higher costs in lumber and other commodities, unless we can offset these higher costs with increased selling prices.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2004 increased $7,523 from the first quarter of 2003, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.8% from 7.0%. The increase in SG&A dollars is primarily attributable to increased personnel costs, including management incentives, of approximately $4,500 and selling and marketing costs of approximately $1,500, both of which are related to our continued growth.
Backlog units and dollars were 7,499 and $2,605,120, respectively, at March 31, 2004 compared to 6,758 and $2,111,187, respectively, at March 31, 2003. The March 31, 2004 unit backlog is higher than that at March 31, 2003 because (i) the beginning backlog for the 2004 period compared to the 2003 period was higher by 8%, and (ii) during the 2004 quarter, NVR sold approximately 600 more homes than it settled, compared to selling approximately 400 more homes than it settled in the 2003 quarter. The backlog dollar increase was also impacted by a 14% increase in the average selling price for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period ending March 31, 2003 due primarily to the aforementioned continued strong demand for homes within a majority of our markets. Overall, new orders increased 14% in the 2004 quarter compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in new orders is attributable to an increase of approximately 7% in the number of active communities in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.
Mortgage Banking Segment
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003
NVR conducts its mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses almost exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment’s customer base.

Loan closing volume for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased 2% over the same period for 2003. The 2004 increase is attributable to an 8% increase in the average loan amount due to the
16
Table of Contents
homebuilding segment’s higher average selling prices, offset by a quarter over quarter 6% reduction in the number of units closed. The percentage of the number of loans closed by NVRM for NVR’s homebuyers who obtain a mortgage to purchase the home (“Capture Rate”) declined five (5) percentage points to 81% for the 2004 first quarter compared to 86% for the 2003 first quarter. The Capture Rate decline is primarily due to increased competition caused by the industry-wide fall off in refinance activity.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased approximately $2,600 over 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a product mix shift from fixed rate mortgages to adjustable rate mortgages and brokered mortgages, both of which are generally less profitable products than fixed rate mortgages. In addition, general and administrative expenses have increased in the 2004 quarter compared to the 2003 quarter by approximately $750, which is primarily due to a 14% increase in the total number of NVRM employees quarter over quarter. The increased staffing level is to position NVRM for future growth and to increase the Capture Rate.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 105 (“SAB 105”). Existing accounting guidance requires an entity to record on its balance sheet the fair value of any issued and outstanding mortgage loan commitments. SAB 105 requires that the fair value measurement include only differences between the guaranteed interest rate in the loan commitment and a market interest rate, excluding any future cash flows related to (i) expected fees to be received when the loan commitment becomes a loan, (ii) gains from selling the loan, or (iii) the servicing value created from the loan. The guidance in SAB 105 must be applied to mortgage loan commitments that are accounted for as derivatives and are entered into after March 31, 2004. NVR does not anticipate that the adoption of the guidance in SAB 105 will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
NVR has $55,000 available for issuance under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 1998. The shelf registration statement, as declared effective on February 27, 1998, provides that securities may be offered from time to time in one or more series and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. NVR expects to file a new shelf registration in 2004 to register up to $1,000,000 for future offer and sale of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares representing preferred shares and warrants. Proceeds received from future offerings issued under this shelf registration are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. This discussion of NVR’s expected new shelf registration does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
NVR’s homebuilding segment generally provides for its working capital cash requirements using cash generated from operations and a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $150,000, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and expires in August 2007. Up to approximately $50,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit, of which $20,339 was outstanding at March 31, 2004. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2004, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available to NVR for borrowings.
NVR’s mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as a short-term credit facility. NVR’s mortgage banking segment utilizes an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility with an aggregate available borrowing limit of $175,000 to fund its mortgage origination activities. The mortgage warehouse facility expires in August 2004. Management believes that the mortgage warehouse facility will be renewed with terms consistent with the current warehouse facility prior to its expiration. There was $89,963 outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2004, borrowing base limitations reduced the amount available to NVR for borrowings to approximately $109,000. NVR’s mortgage banking segment also currently has available an aggregate of $50,000 of borrowing capacity in an uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the gestation and repurchase agreement at March 31, 2004.
17
Table of Contents
In addition to funding growth in its homebuilding and mortgage operations, NVR historically has used a substantial portion of its excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. This ongoing repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations, and is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10(b)-18 of the 1933 Securities Act. The repurchase program assists NVR in accomplishing one of its primary objectives, which is to create increases in shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of amounts repurchased during the first quarter of 2004. NVR expects to continue to repurchase its common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and available excess liquidity.
Management believes that internally generated cash and borrowings available under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy near and long term cash requirements for working capital in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. NVR continually evaluates the estimates it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements, and updates those estimates as necessary. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates made by management.
Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Revised Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was effective for NVR as of March 31, 2004. FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Expected losses are the expected negative variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets exclusive of its variable interests, and expected residual returns are the expected positive variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets, exclusive of variable interests.
Forward contracts, such as the fixed price purchase agreements utilized by NVR to acquire finished lot inventory, are deemed to be “variable interests” under FIN 46R. Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements are examined under FIN 46R for possible consolidation by NVR, including the joint venture limited liability corporations (“LLC’s”) utilized by NVR on a limited basis. NVR has developed a methodology to determine whether it or the owner of the applicable development entity is the primary beneficiary of a development entity. The methodology used to evaluate NVR’s primary beneficiary status requires substantial management judgment and estimates. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the development entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of finished lots under contract. Because NVR does not have any contractual or ownership interests in the development entities with which it contracts to buy finished lots (other than the limited use of the LLC’s), NVR does not have the ability to compel these development entities to provide financial or other data to assist NVR in the performance of the primary beneficiary evaluation. In many instances, these development entities provide little, if any, financial
18
Table of Contents
information. This lack of direct information from the development entities may result in NVR’s evaluation being conducted solely based on the aforementioned management judgments and estimates. Although management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess NVR’s primary beneficiary status relative to its involvement with the development entities from which NVR acquires finished lots, changes to the probabilities and the cash flow possibilities used in NVR’s evaluation could produce widely different conclusions regarding NVR’s status or non-status as a development entity’s primary beneficiary.
Homebuilding Inventory
The carrying value of inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of lots and completed and uncompleted housing units represent the accumulated actual cost thereof. Field construction supervisors’ salaries and related direct overhead expenses are included in inventory costs. Interest costs are not capitalized into inventory. Upon settlement, the cost of the units is expensed on a specific identification basis. Cost of manufacturing materials is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Recoverability and impairment, if any, is primarily evaluated by analyzing sales of comparable assets. Management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess the carrying value of homebuilding inventory.
Contract Land Deposits
NVR purchases finished lots under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the contract. The deposits are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. NVR maintains an allowance for losses on contract land deposits that it believes is sufficient to provide for losses in the existing contract land deposit portfolio. The allowance reflects management’s judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period, considering market and economic conditions, sales absorption and profitability within specific communities and terms of the various contracts. Although NVR considers the allowance for losses on contract land deposits reflected on the March 31, 2004 balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or other events adversely affecting specific markets or the homebuilding industry.
Intangible Assets
Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (“excess reorg value”) and goodwill are no longer subject to amortization upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Rather, excess reorg value and goodwill are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test. NVR continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining value of excess reorg value and goodwill may not be recoverable. NVR completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2004, and as of March 31, 2004, management believes that excess reorg value and goodwill were not impaired. This conclusion is based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as NVR’s history of operating success, NVR’s well recognized brand names and the significant positions held in the markets in which NVR operates. However, changes in strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact this judgment and require an impairment loss to be recognized for the amount that the carrying value of excess reorg value and/or goodwill exceeds their fair value.
Warranty/Product Liability Accruals
Warranty and product liability accruals are established to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to NVR’s business. Liability estimates are determined based on management judgment considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with our General Counsel and other outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases.
19
Table of Contents
Although NVR considers the warranty and product liability accrual reflected on the March 31, 2004 balance sheet (see note 8) to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to increased costs for material and labor, the inability or refusal of manufacturers or subcontractors to financially participate in corrective action, unanticipated adverse legal settlements, or other unanticipated changes to the assumptions used to estimate the warranty and product liability accrual.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of NVR’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of NVR’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in NVR’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, NVR’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
