NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have
been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. The results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated unaudited
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial
results for the interim periods presented.
NOTE 2. NOTES PAYABLE BANKS
On August 7, 1995, M/I Financial entered into a new loan agreement with its
lender. The amount available and other terms of the new agreement remain
substantially the same as the previous agreement. This agreement terminates on
July 19, 1996 and the unpaid balance of such loans are payable on this date.
On September 29, 1995, the Company restructured its lines of credit,
entering into a new loan agreement which permits aggregate borrowings not to
exceed the lesser of: $166.0 million in revolving credit and seasonal loans
and $25.0 million, including $4.0 million for joint ventures in which the
Company is a partner, in the form of letters of credit; or the Company's
borrowing base which is calculated based on specified percentages of certain
types of assets held by the Company as of each month end. Included in the
$166.0 million available under the new loan agreement are $30.0 million of
seasonal loans which are only available between March 1 and December 31 during
the term of the agreement. The maturity date was extended to September 30, 2000
and the remaining terms and restrictive covenants are substantially the same
as the previous agreement.
NOTE 3. CONTINGENCIES
At September 30, 1995, the Company had options and contingent purchase
contracts to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $ 132.4 million.

A home is included in "New Contracts" when the Company's standard
sales contract, which requires a deposit and generally has no contingencies
other than for buyer financing, is executed. In the Midwest Region contracts
are sometimes accepted contingent upon the sale of an existing home. "Homes
Delivered" represents units for which the closing of the sale has occurred and
title has transferred to the buyer. Revenue and cost of revenue for a home
sale are recognized at the time of such closing.
"Backlog" represents homes for which the Company's standard sales
contract has been executed, but which are not included in Homes Delivered
because closings for the sale of such homes have not yet occurred as of the end
of the periods specified. Most cancellations of contracts for homes in Backlog
occur because customers cannot qualify for financing. These cancellations
usually occur prior to the start of construction. Since the Company arranges
financing with guaranteed rates for many of its customers, the incidence of
cancellations after the start of construction is low. In the first nine months
of 1995, the Company delivered 2,011 homes. Of the contracts in Backlog at
December 31, 1994, 15.5% have been canceled as of September 30, 1995. This
compared with a 14.0% cancellation rate for the comparable period in 1994 for
the Homes in Backlog as of December 31, 1993. For homes in Backlog at December
31, 1993, the final cancellation percentage was 14.0%.
At September 30, 1995, the total sales value of the Company's Backlog
of 1,567 homes was approximately $272,000,000, representing a 10.1% increase in
the sales value and a 9.0% increase in units from the levels reported at
September 30, 1994.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased
3.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994. This increase was
primarily due to a significant increase in revenue from lot and land sales as
well as a 1.4% increase in housing revenue. The increase in lot and land
revenue is primarily attributable to the Washington, D.C. market. Late in
1994, the Company completed development of the first phase of a six-phase land
development project. Development is currently in progress on the second phase
of this project. The Company has entered into contracts to sell a portion of
the lots developed in both of these phases to outside home builders. The
Company believes that lot and land revenue
-9-
10
will remain at relatively high levels for the next few years in comparison to
historical amounts as the Company continues to develop this and possibly other
projects where a portion of the lots will be sold to outside home builders.
The increase in housing revenue was due to a 7.5% increase in the
average sales price of Homes Delivered, partially offset by a 5.7% decrease in
the number of Homes Delivered. The increase in the average sales price of Homes
Delivered was primarily attributable to the Maryland, Virginia and Palm Beach
County markets. In Palm Beach County, the Company has expanded the product
lines offered to include higher priced homes, allowing the division to build in
more upscale areas of the market. In Maryland, the increase was primarily due
to the opening of a new subdivision where the average sales price is
significantly higher than the division's average and where sales have been
particularly strong in 1995. The increase in Virginia was due to a change in
the product mix. In the prior year, the Company closed more attached townhomes
which have lower average sales prices than detached homes. The decrease in the
number of Homes Delivered was primarily due to the lower number of homes in
Backlog at the beginning of the quarter and year due to lower New Contracts
recorded in the last half of 1994 and the first half of 1995.
The Company recorded a 9.0% increase in the number of New Contracts
recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same
period of 1994. The increase in New Contracts was primarily attributable to the
Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Raleigh markets. The Company believes
that New Contracts recorded during the second half of 1994 and first quarter of
1995 were adversely affected by higher interest rates available to potential
home buyers. In the second and third quarters of 1995, falling interest rates
brought more potential customers back into the market. The number of New
Contracts recorded was also positively impacted by new subdivisions opened in
the current year and the introduction of our more affordable Horizon product
line in several of our other markets.
The overall gross margin was 18.0% and 18.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The gross margin from housing sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 17.1%, down slightly from the
17.2% recorded for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross margin
from lot and land sales was significantly lower in the current year as compared
to the same period in the prior year. The gross margin recorded in the prior
year was unusually high due to the sale of a tract of commercial real estate
which produced a gross margin significantly higher than normal lot sales.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
remained constant at 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994. For the same time period, actual general and administrative expenses
increased approximately $600,000. This increase was primarily attributable to
higher personnel costs. In the current year, the Company held a mid-year
contest for the first time in an effort to stimulate sales. In addition, the
Company has accrued additional amounts in the third quarter of 1995 for the
annual year end contest trip based on an increase in the number of employees
expected to qualify for the trip in the current year as compared to 1994. The
Company has also increased staffing in certain areas based on anticipated
increases in production and closing activities in the fourth quarter.
Selling expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased slightly
to 6.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from 6.6% for the nine
months ended September 30,
-10-
11
1994. Additional costs incurred in connection with opening more new model
homes in the current year were partially offset by lower outside Realtor
commissions incurred.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased to $10.4 million from $6.5 million for the comparable period of the
prior year. The increase in 1995 resulted from an increase in the weighted
average interest rate and an increase in the average balance outstanding as
well as a decreased portion of interest costs being capitalized. The increase
in the weighted average interest rate was due to increases in the prime rate of
interest on which interest on the notes payable banks is based. The increase in
the average balance outstanding related to the notes payable banks which
increased primarily to fund the increase in houses under construction and
single family lots, land and land development costs.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased
4.0% compared to the three months ended September 30, 1994. This increase was
primarily due to a significant increase in revenue from lot and land sales as
well as a 2.1% increase in housing revenue. The increase in lot and land
revenue is primarily attributable to a land development project in the
Washington, D.C. market where there have been significant sales of developed
lots to outside home builders.
The increase in housing revenue was due to a 3.8% increase in the
average sales price of Homes Delivered, partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in
the number of Homes Delivered. The increase in the average sales price of Homes
Delivered was primarily due to the Virginia and Maryland divisions where new
subdivisions were opened in which average sales prices are significantly higher
than these divisions' averages.
The Company recorded a 40.8% increase in the number of New Contracts
recorded in the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same
period of 1994. New Contracts recorded in the third quarter of 1995 were
higher in all divisions except Tampa and Palm Beach County, which experienced
significant decreases, and Charlotte, which recorded the same number of
contracts for the third quarter in both 1995 and 1994. The Company believes
the significant increase in New Contracts recorded was primarily due to the
more favorable interest rates available to home buyers in the current year as
well as the introduction of our Horizon product line in several of our other
markets and new subdivisions opened in the current year.
The overall gross margin increased slightly to 18.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from 18.0% for the three months ended September
30, 1994. The gross margin from housing sales decreased slightly from 17.4%
for the three months ended September 30, 1994 to 17.3% for the comparable
period in the current year. The gross margin for lot and land sales was 12.1%
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 15.8% for the
comparable period of the prior year. This decline was primarily due to the
Company's decision to accept lower margins on certain older inventory lots to
reduce inventory levels in selected areas. The increase in the overall gross
margin % was due to the $540,000 increase in other income which was primarily
attributable to an increase in revenue for M/I Financial.
-11-
12
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
increased from 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1994 to 5.8% for
the comparable period of 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to
higher personnel costs. In the current year, the Company held a mid-year
contest for the first time in an effort to stimulate sales. In addition, the
Company has accrued additional amounts in the third quarter of 1995 for the
annual year end contest trip based on an increase in the number of employees
expected to qualify for the trip in the current year as compared to 1994. The
Company has also increased staffing in certain areas based on anticipated
increases in production and closing activities in the fourth quarter.
Selling expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased slightly
to 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from 6.3% for the
comparable period of the prior year. Additional costs incurred related to
additional model homes and the mid-year and annual contest trips (see above)
were partially offset by lower internal sales commissions and outside Realtor
commissions.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1995
increased to $3.9 million from $2.8 million for the comparable period of the
prior year. The increase in 1995 resulted from an increase in the weighted
average interest rate and an increase in the average balance outstanding as
well as a decreased portion of interest costs being capitalized in 1995. The
increase in the weighted average interest rate was due to increases in the
prime interest rate on which interest on the notes payable banks is based. The
increase in the average balance outstanding related to the notes payable banks
which increased primarily to fund the increased investment in houses under
construction and single-family lots, land and land development costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's financing needs depend upon its sales volume, asset
turnover, land acquisitions and inventory balances. The Company has incurred
substantial indebtedness, and expects to incur indebtedness in the future, to
fund the growth of its home-building activities. Historically, the Company's
principal source of funds for construction and development activities has been
from internally generated cash and from bank borrowings which are primarily
unsecured.
On September 29, 1995, the Company entered into a new loan agreement
with its lenders which permits aggregate borrowings not to exceed the lesser
of: $166.0 million in revolving credit loans, including $30.0 million of
seasonal loans which are available from March 1 through December 31 during each
year of the agreement and $25.0 million, including $4.0 million for joint
ventures in which the Company is a partner, in the form of letters of credit;
or the Company's borrowing base which is calculated based on specified
percentages of certain types of assets held by the Company as of each month
end. The loan agreement matures September 30, 2000, at which time the unpaid
balance of the revolving credit loans outstanding shall be due and payable.
Under the terms of the loan agreement, the banks make an annual determination
as to whether or not to extend the maturity date of the commitments by one
year. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants which require the
Company, among other things, to maintain minimum net worth and working capital
amounts and to maintain certain financial ratios. The loan agreement also
places limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness that may be
incurred by the Company, the acquisition of undeveloped land, on dividends that
may be paid and on the aggregate cost of
-12-
13
certain types of inventory the Company can hold at any one time. At September
30, 1995, $116.5 million was outstanding under this loan agreement.
On August 7, 1995, M/I Financial entered into a new loan agreement
with its lender which permits borrowings of $25.0 million to finance mortgage
loans initially funded by M/I Financial, up to $5.0 million of which can be
used to fund loans for borrowers other than customers of the Company's
home-building operations. The agreement limits the borrowings to 95% of the
aggregate face amount of the mortgages and contains restrictive covenants
requiring M/I Financial to maintain certain minimum net worth and financial
ratios. Borrowings under the agreement are at the lender's prime rate and are
unsecured. The agreement terminates on July 19, 1996 and the unpaid balance of
such borrowings are payable on this date. At September 30, 1995, $9.7 million
was outstanding under this loan agreement.
In addition, there were outstanding Subordinated Notes in the
principal amount of $24.5 million at September 30, 1995 and approximately $20.1
million of completion bonds and letters of credit at September 30, 1995. Annual
sinking fund payments for the Subordinated Notes of approximately $3.7 million
commence December 1, 1997 with the remaining balance due at maturity on
December 1, 2001. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option
of the Company on or after December 1, 1996 at 106% of the principal amount
until December 1, 1997 and declining 1 1/2% annually through 2000.
At September 30, 1995, the Company had $54.8 million of unused
borrowing availability under its loan agreements. At September 30, 1995, the
Company had the right to borrow up to $181.0 million under its credit
facilities, including $30.0 million of seasonal loans, available from March 1st
through December 31 during each year of the loan agreement, and $15.0 million
under the M/I Financial credit agreement (95% of the aggregate face amount of
eligible mortgage loans). The Company believes that such bank borrowings,
together with internally generated funds, will be adequate for the Company's
foreseeable needs for operations, limited expansion, land investment and
interest obligations of outstanding debt.
The $13.7 million increase in notes payable to banks from December 31,
1994 to September 30, 1995 reflects increased borrowings primarily attributable
to the seasonal increase in homes under construction. It is expected that
borrowing needs will increase as the Company continues to expand its home
building operations and increase its investment in land under development and
developed lots.
Net income from housing and lot and land sales are the Company's
primary sources of net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash used by
operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $12.4
million compared to $30.8 million for the comparable period of the prior year.
The decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a
smaller increase in inventories.
The Company has reached agreement with certain unrelated parties for
the construction of an approximately 85,000 square foot building. The four
current office locations in Columbus, Ohio will be consolidated into one
building in an effort to improve operating efficiencies. The building will be
built, owned and operated, by a limited liability company in which the Company
has a 1/3 interest (the "LLC"). The building will primarily be financed
through borrowings of the LLC. The LLC has obtained financing for the
construction of the building and also has obtained commitments for the permanent
financing. The Company has reached an agreement in principal for a long-term
operating lease for the premises. The
-13-
14
building is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 1996. The Company
believes that any commitments arising from this transaction would not
significantly affect its liquidity or capital resources.
Due to the current lending environment, developers from whom the
Company customarily obtains lots under either an option or commitment contract
are experiencing continuing difficulty in obtaining land acquisition and
development financing. Consequently, the Company's land development activities
and land holdings have increased. In 1994, the Company entered into two land
purchase contracts which require a greater investment than the Company normally
commits and could significantly impact the Company's liquidity. On January 31,
1994, the Company closed on the first phase of a six phase land purchase
contract in the Washington, D.C. market. This first phase was purchased for
$6.6 million and was developed into 106 single-family and townhouse lots. Based
on the demand for lots in this area and the strong sales in the first phase of
this development, the Company purchased the second phase of this development
through a series of three closings in May, June and July of 1995. The total
purchase price for this phase was approximately $6.4 million and this section
will be developed into 122 single-family and townhouse lots. The Company sold a
portion of the developed lots from the first phase to outside home builders and
has entered into similar contracts to sell a portion of the lots in the second
phase to outside home builders. The Company has an option to purchase each of
the remaining phases. If the Company purchases all six phases, the total
purchase price will be approximately $38.9 million and the land will be
developed into approximately 710 lots.
In August 1994, the Company completed the purchase of a parcel of land
in the Columbus market for $7.5 million which will be developed into
approximately 375 lots. The Company has completed development of several
phases of this project into a total of 129 lots. Model homes were opened in
this development in April 1995 and sales have remained strong.
The extent of the Company's ability to invest in land development will
be dependent upon its ability to obtain increases in its borrowing availability
from its banks or from other sources. Investment in additional land will
result in increased interest expense being incurred by the Company and slower
turnover of inventory. To finance land purchases, the Company may also
increase its use of secured purchase money mortgages. At September 30, 1995
mortgage notes payable outstanding were $349,000 secured by lots and land with
a recorded book value of $1.2 million. The Company does not currently have any
arrangements for additional capital nor is there any assurance that it will be
able to obtain additional capital. In the event that additional capital is not
obtained, the Company anticipates that it will need to curtail its land
development activities.
INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION
The Company's business is significantly affected by general economic
conditions of the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest
rates. Higher interest rates may decrease the potential market by making it
more difficult for home buyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages
at interest rates acceptable to them. Increases in interest rates also would
increase the Company's interest expense as the rate on the revolving loans is
based upon floating rates of interest. The weighted average interest rates on
the Company's outstanding debt for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
10.2% as compared to 8.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
-14-

In conjunction with its mortgage banking operations, the Company uses
hedging methods to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations between
the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes.
In recent years, the Company generally has been able to raise prices
by amounts at least equal to its cost increases and, accordingly, has not
experienced any detrimental effect from inflation. Where the Company develops
lots for its own use, inflation may increase the Company's profits because land
costs are fixed well in advance of sales efforts. The Company is generally
able to maintain costs with subcontractors from the date a home sales contract
is accepted; however, in certain situations unanticipated costs may occur
between the time a sales contract is executed and the time a home is
constructed, which result in lower gross profit margins.
