STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate to matters of strictly historical or factual nature and generally discuss or relate to estimates or other expectations regarding future events. They contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “should” and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries; financial resources and condition; changes in revenues; changes in profitability; changes in margins; changes in accounting treatment; cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; interest expense; inventory write-downs; unrecognized tax benefits; anticipated tax refunds; sales paces and prices; effects of home buyer cancellations; growth and expansion; joint ventures in which we are involved; anticipated results from our investments in unconsolidated entities; the ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the ability to gain approvals and to open new communities; the ability to sell homes and properties; the ability to deliver homes from backlog; the ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; and legal proceedings and claims.
Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward looking statements. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among others: local, regional, national, and international economic conditions; fluctuating consumer demand and confidence; interest and unemployment rates; changes in sales conditions, including home prices, in the markets where we build homes; conditions in our newly entered markets and newly acquired operations; the competitive environment in which we operate; the availability and cost of land for future growth; conditions that could result in inventory write-downs or write-downs associated with investments in unconsolidated entities; the ability to recover our deferred tax assets; the availability of capital; uncertainties in the capital and securities markets; liquidity in the credit markets; changes in tax laws and their interpretation; effects of governmental legislation and regulation; the outcome of various legal proceedings; the availability of adequate insurance at reasonable cost; the impact of construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims, including the adequacy of self-insurance accruals and the applicability and sufficiency of our insurance coverage; the ability of home buyers to obtain financing for the purchase of homes; the ability of customers to sell their existing homes; the ability of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; the availability and cost of labor and building and construction materials; the cost of raw materials; construction delays; domestic and international political events; and weather conditions. This statement is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in this report.
When this report uses the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” they refer to Toll Brothers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. References herein to “fiscal 2012,” “fiscal 2011,” “fiscal 2010,” “fiscal 2009,” and “fiscal 2008” refer to our fiscal years ending October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011, October 31, 2010, October 31, 2009, and October 31, 2008, respectively.

TOLL BROTHERS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and those majority-owned subsidiaries it controls. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that the Company has effective control of the entity, in which case the entity would be consolidated.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2012 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from the Company’s October 31, 2012 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, the Company suggests that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2013, the results of its operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, “Statement of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which requires entities to present comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 was effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance, which related to presentation only, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows but did require a change in the presentation of the Company’s comprehensive income from the notes of the condensed consolidated financial statements to the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013-02 requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance, which relates to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2013.
Revisions/Reclassifications
The Supplemental Guarantor Information included in Note 18 has been presented in a format that has been adjusted from prior annual and quarterly reports in order to (i) reflect the transfer of the balance sheet, statements of operations and cash flows of certain non-guarantor subsidiaries to guarantor subsidiaries as a result of such entities becoming guarantor subsidiaries as of April 30, 2013 and the reclassification of guarantor and non-guarantor intercompany advances and equity balances with corresponding offsets in the elimination column and (ii) revise the presentation of cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities in the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 to reflect intercompany activity, which had previously been included in cash flow from operating activities, as cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from financing activities. This revised presentation of the Supplemental Guarantor Information has no impact or effect on Toll Brothers, Inc.'s condensed consolidated financial statements for any period presented, including the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income or Statements of Cash Flows.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation.

2. Inventory
Inventory at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

2,664,514

 
$
4,367,217

 
$
3,761,187

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale, communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes, communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within twelve months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on, and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities and the carrying cost of model homes.
Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions that do not have any remaining backlog and are not expected to reopen within twelve months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities.
Information regarding the classification, number and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the date indicated, is provided in the table below.

See Note 13, "Fair Value Disclosures", for information regarding the number of operating communities that the Company tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which it recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair values of those communities, net of impairment charges.
At April 30, 2013, the Company evaluated its land purchase contracts to determine if any of the selling entities were variable interest entities ("VIEs") and, if they were, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, the Company does not possess legal title to the land and its risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against the Company. At April 30, 2013, the Company determined that 71 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $908.5 million, on which it had made aggregate deposits totaling $32.1 million, were VIEs, and that it was not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to its land purchase contracts.

Inventory impairment charges are recognized against all inventory costs of a community, such as land, land improvements, cost of home construction and capitalized interest. The amounts included in the table directly above reflect the gross amount of capitalized interest without allocation of any impairment charges recognized. The Company estimates that, had inventory impairment charges been allocated on a pro-rata basis to the individual components of inventory, capitalized interest at April 30, 2013 and 2012 would have been reduced by approximately $43.4 million and $54.5 million, respectively.
3. Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities
The Company has investments in and advances to various unconsolidated entities. These entities include development joint ventures, a planned community joint venture, a structured asset joint venture, Toll Brothers Realty Trust and Trust II and other joint ventures. At April 30, 2013, the Company had investments in and advances to these unconsolidated entities of $357.5 million and was committed to invest or advance up to $126.8 million to these entities if they require additional funding. The Company’s investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. More specific information regarding its investments in, advances to and future commitments to these entities is provided below.
At April 30, 2013, the Company determined that two of its joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance within FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation". However, the Company concluded that it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was shared by the Company and the VIEs' other members. Business plans, budgets and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by the Company are nominal and believed to be at market rates and there is no significant economic disproportionality between the Company and other members.
Development Joint Ventures
The Company has investments in and advances to a number of joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop land (“Development Joint Ventures”). Some of these Development Joint Ventures develop land for the sole use of the venture participants, including the Company, and others develop land for sale to the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. The Company recognizes its share of earnings from the sale of home sites by the Development Joint Ventures to other builders. With regard to home sites the Company purchases from the Development Joint Ventures, the Company reduces its cost basis in those home sites by its share of the earnings on the home sites it purchases. At April 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $124.3 million invested in or advanced to the Development Joint Ventures and had a funding commitment of $30.3 million to three of the Development Joint Ventures which would be funded if additional investment in the ventures is required.
In March 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a parcel of land in Texas into a master planned community consisting of approximately 2,900 lots. The Company has a 50% interest in this joint venture. The current plan is to develop the property in multiple phases and sell groups of lots to the members of the joint venture and to other third party home builders. The Company contributed $15.5 million of cash to the joint venture. The joint venture entered into a $25.0 million line of credit with a bank, secured by a deed of trust on the property. The line of credit can be expanded up to $40.0 million under certain conditions. At April 30, 2013, the joint venture had $20.0 million of borrowings under its line of credit. At April 30, 2013, the Company had an investment of $15.8 million in this joint venture and was committed to make additional contributions to this joint venture of up to $16.8 million.
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture that is developing over 2,000 home sites in Orange County, California on land that it owns. Under the terms of the operating agreement, the Company will acquire 266 home sites in the first phase of the property from the joint venture. The Company intends to acquire approximately 545 additional home sites from the joint venture. The Company has a commitment to provide up to $10.0 million of additional funds to this joint venture, if needed. The

7



joint venture has an $80.0 million credit facility from a bank to fund the development of the property. At April 30, 2013, the venture had $29.4 million borrowed under the facility.
Planned Community Joint Venture
The Company entered into a joint venture in October 2008 for the development and sale of homes in a master planned community. At April 30, 2013, the Company had an investment of $30.4 million in this joint venture. At April 30, 2013, the participants agreed to contribute additional funds of up to $8.3 million each, if required.
Other Joint Ventures
At April 30, 2013, the Company had an aggregate of $166.2 million of investments in and advances to various joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury for-sale and rental residential units, commercial space and a hotel. At April 30, 2013, the Company had $88.2 million of funding commitments to five of these joint ventures. Several of the joint ventures expect to finance future construction with external financing.
In April 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a luxury, 38-story apartment building and retail space in Jersey City, New Jersey on land that the Company owned. The Company has a 50% interest in this joint venture. As part of the Company's initial capital contribution, it contributed land and improvements with a fair value of $28.8 million to the joint venture and subsequently received distributions of $10.2 million and the joint venture making a $1.2 million payment on our behalf to align the capital accounts of each of the members of the joint venture. The joint venture entered into a $120.0 million construction loan agreement with a bank to finance the development of this project. At April 30, 2013, the joint venture had no borrowings under the construction loan agreement. At April 30, 2013, the Company had an investment of $17.7 million in this joint venture and was committed to make additional contributions to this joint venture of up to $16.7 million.
Toll Brothers Realty Trust and Trust II
In fiscal 2005, the Company, together with the Pennsylvania State Employees Retirement System (“PASERS”), formed Toll Brothers Realty Trust II (“Trust II”) to be in a position to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. Trust II is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by an affiliate of PASERS. At April 30, 2013, the Company had an investment of $3.3 million in Trust II. Prior to the formation of Trust II, the Company formed Toll Brothers Realty Trust (“Trust”) in 1998 to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by the Company; one-third by Robert I. Toll, Bruce E. Toll (and members of his family), Douglas C. Yearley, Jr. and former members of the Company’s senior management; and one-third by an affiliate of PASERS. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had a net investment in the Trust of $0.2 million. The Company provides development, finance and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amounts of $1.1 million in each of the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, and $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Structured Asset Joint Venture
The Company, through Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management LLC (“Gibraltar”), is a 20% participant with two unrelated parties that purchased a 40% interest in an entity that owns and controls a portfolio of loans and real estate (“Structured Asset Joint Venture”). At April 30, 2013, the Company had an investment of $33.2 million in this Structured Asset Joint Venture. At April 30, 2013, the Company did not have any commitments to make additional contributions to this Structured Asset Joint Venture and has not guaranteed any of the joint venture’s liabilities.
Guarantees
The unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities which may include any, or all of the following: (i) project completion including any cost overruns, in whole or in part, (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan, (iii) indemnification of the lender from environmental matters and (iv) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.
In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, the Company generally has a reimbursement agreement with its partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share of the guarantee. However, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, the Company may be liable for more than its proportionate share.
The Company believes that as of April 30, 2013, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral should be sufficient to repay a significant portion

8



of the obligation. If it is not, the Company and its partners would need to contribute additional capital into the venture. At April 30, 2013, the unconsolidated entities that have guarantees related to debt had loan commitments aggregating $225.0 million and had borrowed an aggregate of $49.4 million. The Company estimates that the maximum potential exposure under these guarantees, if the full amount of the loan commitments were borrowed, would be $225.0 million before any reimbursement from the Company's partners. Based on the amounts borrowed at April 30, 2013, the Company's maximum potential exposure under these guarantees is estimated to be $49.4 million before any reimbursement from the Company's partners.
In addition, the Company has guaranteed approximately $11.9 million of ground lease payments and insurance deductibles for two joint ventures.
As of April 30, 2013, the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees was approximately $1.3 million. The Company has not made payments under any of the guarantees.
The condensed balance sheets, as of the dates indicated, and the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), for the periods indicated, for the Company’s unconsolidated entities in which it has an investment, aggregated by type of business, are included below (in thousands). The column titled "Home Building Joint Ventures" includes the Planned Community and Other Joint Ventures described above.

Included in other assets of the Structured Asset Joint Venture at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 is $311.8 million and $237.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash held in a defeasance account which will be used to repay debt of the Structured Asset Joint Venture.
(2)
Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated entities and its underlying equity in the net assets of the entities is primarily a result of the acquisition price of an investment in an entity in fiscal 2012 which was in excess of the Company's pro-rata share of the underlying equity, impairments related to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities, a loan made to one of the entities by the Company, and distributions from entities in excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s net investment.

Differences between the Company’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities and the Company's percentage interest in the underlying net income (loss) of the entities is primarily a result of impairments related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities, distributions from entities in excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s net investment, and the Company’s share of the entities’ profits related to home sites purchased by the Company which reduces the Company’s cost basis of the home sites.

The Company's investment in distressed loans includes performing loans and non-performing loans and also includes investments in loan participations classified as secured borrowings under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing".
For acquired distressed loans where it is probable that the Company will collect less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan based, at least in part, on the assessment of the credit quality of the borrowers, the loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality" ("ASC 310-30"). Under ASC 310-30, provided the Company does not presently have the intention to utilize real estate secured by the loans for use in its operations or to significantly improve the collateral for resale, the amount by which the future cash flows expected to be collected at the acquisition date exceeds the estimated fair value of the loan, or accretable yield, is recognized in other income - net over the estimated remaining life of the loan using a level yield methodology. The difference between the contractually required payments of the loan as of the acquisition date and the total cash flows expected to be collected, or nonaccretable difference, is not recognized.
The Company may acquire distressed loans where it has determined that (1) it is possible to collect all contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan, (2) it expects to utilize the real estate secured by the loans in its operations, or (3) forecasted cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated. For non-performing loans acquired meeting these conditions, in accordance with ASC 310-10, "Receivable," the loans are classified as nonaccrual and interest income is not recognized. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, any subsequent cash receipt is accounted for using the cost recovery method. For performing loans, payments are applied to principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan when received. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had investments in performing and non-performing loans, accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-10, of $13.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. At October 31, 2012, the Company had investments in non-performing loans of $9.2 million. The Company had no investments in performing loans at October 31, 2012.
In the six months ended April 30, 2013, Gibraltar purchased distressed loans for approximately $26.0 million. The purchases included performing and non-performing loans secured by retail shopping centers, residential land and golf courses located in seven states.
The following table summarizes, for the distressed loans acquired in the six months ended April 30, 2012 that were accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, the accretable yield and the nonaccretable difference of the Company's investment in these loans as of their acquisition date (amounts in thousands).

Additions primarily respresent the reclassification to accretable yield from nonaccretable yield and the impact of impairments. Deletions primarily represent loan dispositions, which include foreclosure of the underlying collateral and resulting removal of the loans from the accretable yield portfolios, and reclassifications from accretable yield to nonaccretable yield. The reclassifications between accretable and nonaccretable yield and the accretion of interest income are based on various estimates regarding loan performance and the value of the underlying real estate securing the loans. As the Company continues to gather additional information regarding the loans and the underlying collateral, the accretable yield may change. Therefore, the amount of accretable income recorded in the six-month and three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The Company currently operates in 19 states and is subject to various state tax jurisdictions. The Company estimates its state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction and the Company’s ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. Based on the Company’s estimate of the allocation of income or loss among the various taxing jurisdictions and changes in tax regulations and their impact on the Company’s tax strategies, the Company estimated its rate for state income taxes at 6.4% and 6.5% for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
At October 31, 2012, the Company evaluated evidence related to the need for its deferred tax asset valuation allowances and determined that the valuation allowance on its federal deferred tax assets and certain state valuation allowances were no longer needed. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed a valuation allowance in the amount of $394.7 million.
For state tax purposes, due to past and projected losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company does not have carryback potential and/or cannot sufficiently forecast future taxable income, the Company has recognized net cumulative valuation allowances against its state deferred tax assets of $55.8 million and $57.0 million as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively.

8. Stock-Based Benefit Plans
The Company grants stock options, restricted stock and various types of restricted stock units to its employees and its non-employee directors. Beginning in fiscal 2012, the Company changed the mix of stock-based compensation to its employees (other than certain senior executives) by reducing the number of stock options it grants and, in their place, issued non-performance based restricted stock units ("RSUs") as a form of compensation. The Company also replaced its stock price-based restricted stock unit ("Stock Price-Based RSUs") awards for certain senior executives with a performance-based restricted stock (“Performance-Based RSUs”) award program. Additionally, the Company has an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase Company stock at a discount.

Information about the Company’s more significant stock-based compensation programs is outlined below.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The lattice-based option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, which are disclosed in the table below. Expected volatilities were based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The expected lives of options granted were derived from the historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The weighted-average assumptions and the fair value used for stock option grants in fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
 
2013
 
2012
Expected volatility
44.04% - 48.13%

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors ("Executive Compensation Committee") approved awards of Performance-Based RSUs relating to shares of the Company’s common stock to certain of its senior management. The Performance-Based RSUs are based on the attainment of certain performance metrics of the Company in fiscal 2013. The number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that will be issued to the recipients may range from 90% to 110% of the base award depending on actual performance as compared to the target

17



performance goals. The Performance-Based RSUs vest over a four-year period provided the recipients continue to be employed by the Company or serve on the board of directors of the Company (as applicable) as specified in the award document.
The value of the Performance-Based RSUs was determined to be equal to the estimated number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the date the performance goals were approved by the Executive Compensation Committee. The Company evaluates the performance goals quarterly and estimates the number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that are probable of being issued. Information regarding the issuance, valuation assumptions and amortization of the Company’s Performance-Based RSUs issued in fiscal 2013 and 2012 is provided below.

13. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Value Disclosures
The Company uses ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.

20



The fair value hierarchy is summarized below:
Level 1:
    
Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
Level 2:
    
Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
 
 
 
Level 3:
    
Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company determines the fair value of its mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments it has entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of its mortgage loans using the market approach to determine fair value. The evaluation is based on the current market pricing of mortgage loans with similar terms and values as of the reporting date and by applying such pricing to the mortgage loan portfolio. The Company recognizes the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale as a gain or loss. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its forward loan commitments as a gain or loss. These gains and losses are included in other income - net. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is calculated based upon the stated interest rate of each loan and is included in other income - net.
IRLCs represent individual borrower agreements that commit the Company to lend at a specified price for a specified period as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. These commitments have varying degrees of interest rate risk. The Company utilizes best-efforts forward loan commitments (“Forward Commitments”) to hedge the interest rate risk of the IRLCs and residential mortgage loans held for sale. Forward Commitments represent contracts with third-party investors for the future delivery of loans whereby the Company agrees to make delivery at a specified future date at a specified price. The IRLCs and Forward Commitments are considered derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires derivative financial instruments to be recorded at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of such commitments based on the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and, in the case of IRLCs, the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC. To manage the risk of non-performance of investors regarding the Forward Commitments, the Company assesses the credit worthiness of the investors on a periodic basis.

The estimated fair values of corporate securities and certificates of deposit are based on quoted prices provided by brokers. The remaining contractual maturities of marketable securities as of April 30, 2013 ranged from 1 day to 31 months.
Inventory
The Company recognizes inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of the aforementioned inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies, Inventory” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology on determining fair value. As further discussed in Note 1 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, determining the fair value of a community's inventory involves a number of variables, many of which are interrelated. If the Company used a different input for any of the various unobservable inputs used in its impairment analysis, the results of the analysis may have been different, absent any other changes. The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired communities:

Investments in Distressed Loans and REO
Gibraltar’s distressed loans were recorded at estimated fair value at inception based on the acquisition price as determined by Level 3 inputs and was based on the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the loans discounted at the rates used to value the loans at the acquisition dates. The table below provides, as of the date indicated, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of distressed loans (amounts in thousands):

Gibraltar's REO was recorded at estimated fair value at the time it was acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu actions using Level 3 inputs. The valuation techniques used to estimate fair value are third-party appraisals, broker opinions of value, or internal valuation methodologies (which may include discounted cash flows, capitalization rate analysis or comparable transactional analysis). Unobservable inputs used in estimating the fair value of REO assets are based upon the best information available under the circumstances and take into consideration the financial condition and operating results of the asset, local market conditions, the availability of capital, interest and inflation rates and other factors deemed appropriate by management.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses and the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity or on its financial condition.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities
See Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding the Company’s commitments to these entities.
Land Purchase Commitments
Generally, the Company’s option and purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require the Company to purchase those land parcels, although the Company may, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when it terminates an option and purchase agreement. If market conditions are weak, approvals needed to develop the land are uncertain or other factors exist that make the purchase undesirable, the Company may not acquire the land. Whether an option and purchase agreement is legally terminated or not, the Company reviews the amount recorded for the land parcel subject to the option and purchase agreement to determine if the amount is recoverable. While the Company may not formally terminate the option and purchase agreements for those land parcels that it does not expect to acquire, it writes off any non-refundable deposits and costs previously capitalized to such land parcels in the periods that it determines such costs are not recoverable.

In addition, the Company expects to purchase approximately 545 additional lots from a joint venture in which it has a 50% interest. The purchase price of the lots will be determined at a future date.
At April 30, 2013, the Company also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $63.1 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $1.5 million.
The Company has additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since it does not believe that it will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from the Company to terminate these contracts.
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
At April 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $410.8 million, primarily related to its obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in the Company’s various communities. The Company estimates that $257.3 million of work remains on these improvements. The Company has an additional $58.6 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations of the Company. The Company believes it is not probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.
At April 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $79.9 million, including $67.1 million under its credit facility and $12.8 million collateralized by restricted cash. These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations of the Company including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits and security to complete improvements in communities which it is operating. The Company believes it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
Backlog
At April 30, 2013, the Company had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 3,655 homes with an aggregate sales value of $2.53 billion.
Mortgage Commitments
The Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides mortgage financing for a portion of the Company’s home closings. For those home buyers to whom the Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides mortgages, it determines whether the home buyer qualifies for the mortgage he or she is seeking based upon information provided by the home buyer and other sources. For those home buyers that qualify, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides the home buyer with a mortgage commitment that specifies the terms and conditions of a proposed mortgage loan based upon then-current market conditions. Prior to the actual closing of the home and funding of the mortgage, the home buyer will lock in an interest rate based upon the terms of the commitment. At the time of rate lock, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary agrees to sell the proposed mortgage loan to one of several outside recognized mortgage financing institutions (“investors”) that is willing to honor the terms and conditions, including interest rate, committed to the home buyer. The Company believes that these investors have adequate financial resources to honor their commitments to its mortgage subsidiary.

The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest is guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by the Company and substantially all of the Company’s 100% owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The Company’s non-home building subsidiaries and several of its home building subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee the debt. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no

28



operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other the the financing of other subsidiaries of the Company by lending the proceeds from the above described debt issuances.
As of April 30, 2013, certain Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries became Guarantor Subsidiaries. This change in status has been retrospectively reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements.
Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to investors.
The condensed consolidating financial statements have been revised in order to (i) reflect the transfer of the balance sheet, statements of operations and cash flows of certain non-guarantor subsidiaries to guarantor subsidiaries as a result of such entities becoming guarantor subsidiaries as of April 30, 2013 and the reclassification of guarantor and non-guarantor intercompany advances and equity balances with corresponding offsets in the elimination column and (ii) revise the presentation of cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities in the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 to reflect intercompany activity, which had previously been included in cash flow from operating activities, as cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from financing activities.
This revised presentation has no impact or effect on Toll Brothers, Inc.'s condensed consolidated financial statements for any period presented, including the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, or Statements of Cash Flows.
Summary financial information related to the transfer of certain Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries to Guarantor Subsidiaries and the reclassification of guarantor and non-guarantor intercompany advances and equity balances, resulting in a decrease in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries amounts, is presented below (amounts in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”)
This discussion and analysis is based on, should be read with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our consolidated financial statements, notes thereto, and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. It also should be read in conjunction with the disclosure under “Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in this report.
Unless otherwise stated, net contracts signed represents a number or value equal to the gross number or value of contracts signed during the relevant period, less the number or value of contracts canceled during the relevant period, which includes contracts that were signed during the relevant period and in prior periods.
OVERVIEW
Financial Highlights
In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we recognized $940.6 million of revenues and net income of $29.1 million, as compared to $695.6 million of revenues and net income of $14.1 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. Fiscal 2013 six-month income before income taxes included $13.2 million of income recognized from the settlement of the previously disclosed derivative litigation, offset, in part, by $1.7 million of inventory impairments and write-offs. Fiscal 2012 six-month income before income taxes included $10.1 million of inventory impairments and write-offs and a recovery of $1.6 million of previously incurred charges related to our investments in unconsolidated entities. During the fiscal 2013 six-month period, we recognized an income tax provision of $20.2 million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $4.8 million in the fiscal 2012 period.
In the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we recognized $516.0 million of revenues and net income of $24.7 million, as compared to $373.7 million of revenues and net income of $16.9 million in the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. Fiscal 2013 three-month income before income taxes included $13.2 million of income recognized from the settlement of the previously disclosed derivative litigation, offset, in part, by $1.0 million of inventory impairments and write-offs. Fiscal 2012 three-month income before income taxes included $2.0 million of inventory impairments and write-offs and a recovery of $1.6 million of previously incurred charges related to our investments in unconsolidated entities. During the fiscal 2013 three-month period, we recognized an income tax provision of $16.3 million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $1.2 million in the fiscal 2012 period.
Our Business Environment and Current Outlook
In fiscal 2012, the housing market began to recover from the significant slowdown that started in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. The recovery has continued to date in fiscal 2013.
During fiscal 2012, we, and many of the other public home builders, saw a strong recovery in the number of new sales contracts signed. Our net contracts signed in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, increased nearly 50% in the number of net contracts signed and 59% in the value of net contracts signed. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, net contracts signed increased 40.4% in units and 50.3% in value, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.
We believe that, as the unemployment rate has declined and confidence has improved, pent-up demand has begun to be released. We believe many of our target customers generally have remained employed during this downturn; however, we believe many deferred their home buying decisions because of concerns over the direction of the economy, the direction of home prices, and their ability to sell their existing home. Additionally, rising home prices, reduced inventory, and low mortgage rates have resulted in increased demand, although still below historical levels. We believe that the key to a full recovery in our business depends on these factors as well as a sustained stabilization of financial markets and the economy in general.
We believe that the demographics of the move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, age-qualified and second-home upscale markets will provide us with the potential for growth in the coming decade. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of households earning $100,000 or more (in constant 2011 dollars) at September 2012 stood at 25.4 million, or approximately 17.3% of all U.S. households. This group has grown at three times the rate of increase of all U.S. households since 1980. According to Harvard University's June 2012 "The State of the Nation's Housing," the growth and aging of the current population, assuming the economic recovery is sustained over the next few years, supports the addition of about one million new household formations per year during the next decade.

37



According to the U.S. Census Bureau, during the period 1970 through 2007, total housing starts in the United States averaged approximately 1.26 million per year, while in the period 2008 through 2012, total housing starts averaged approximately 0.69 million per year. Total annualized housing starts in April 2013 were approximately 0.85 million. In addition, based on the trend of household formations in relation to population growth during the period 2000 through 2007, the number of households formed in the four-year period of 2008 through 2011 was approximately 2.3 million fewer than would have been expected.
In many markets, the pipeline of approved and improved home sites has dwindled as builders and developers have lacked both the capital and the economic benefit for bringing sites through approvals. Therefore, we believe that as demand continues to strengthen, builders and developers with approved land in well-located markets will benefit. We believe that this will be particularly true for us because our land portfolio is heavily weighted in the metro-Washington, DC to metro-Boston corridor where land is scarce, approvals are more difficult to obtain and overbuilding has been relatively less prevalent than in the Southeast and Western regions.
We continue to believe that many of our communities are in desirable locations that are difficult to replace and in markets where approvals have been increasingly difficult to achieve. We believe that many of these communities have substantial embedded value that may be realized in the future as the housing recovery strengthens.
Competitive Landscape
Based on our experience during prior downturns in the housing industry, we believe that attractive land acquisition opportunities arise in difficult times for those builders that have the financial strength to take advantage of them. In the current environment, we believe our strong balance sheet, liquidity, access to capital, broad geographic presence, diversified product line, experienced personnel and national brand name all position us well for such opportunities now and in the future.
We believe that many of the small and mid-sized private builders that had been our primary competitors in the luxury market are no longer in business and that access to capital by the remaining private builders is severely constrained. While some of these private builders may emerge with new capital, the scarcity of attractive land is a further impediment to their competitiveness.
We believe that geographic and product diversification, access to lower-cost capital and strong demographics benefit those builders, like us, who can control land and persevere through the increasingly difficult regulatory approval process; these factors favor a large publicly traded home building company with the capital and expertise to control home sites and gain market share. We also believe that during the recent prolonged downturn, many builders and land developers reduced the number of home sites that were taken through the approval process. The process continues to be difficult and lengthy, and the political pressure from no-growth proponents continues to increase, but we believe our expertise in taking land through the approval process and our already-approved land positions will allow us to grow in the years to come as market conditions improve.
Land Acquisition and Development
Because of the length of time that it takes to obtain the necessary approvals on a property, complete the land improvements on it, and deliver a home after a home buyer signs an agreement of sale, we are subject to many risks. In certain cases, we attempt to reduce some of these risks by utilizing one or more of the following methods: controlling land for future development through options (also referred to herein as “land purchase contracts” or “option and purchase agreements”), thus allowing the necessary governmental approvals to be obtained before acquiring title to the land; by generally commencing construction of a detached home only after executing an agreement of sale and receiving a substantial down payment from the buyer; and by using subcontractors to perform home construction and land development work on a fixed-price basis.
Based on our belief that the housing market has begun to recover, the increased attractiveness of land available for purchase and the revival of demand in certain areas, we have begun to increase our land positions. During fiscal 2012, the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 and the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we acquired control of approximately 6,100 home sites (net of options terminated), 6,500 home sites (net of options terminated) and 2,400 home sites (net of options terminated), respectively. At April 30, 2013, we controlled approximately 45,200 home sites of which we owned approximately 33,100. Of these 33,100 home sites, significant improvements were completed on approximately 12,200. At April 30, 2013 and 2012, we were selling from 225 and 230 communities, respectively. At October 31, 2012, we were selling from 224 communities, compared to 215 communities at October 31, 2011. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we opened 36 new communities for sale and sold out of 35 communities.
We expect to open approximately 50 communities for sale in the six-month period ending October 31, 2013. We expect to be selling from 225 to 255 communities at October 31, 2013. At April 30, 2013, we had 45 communities that were temporarily closed due to market conditions and 26 communities for which we had acquired the land but have temporarily decided not to open.

Diversification
Based on our experience, our land acquisition/development, and construction expertise and our financial and marketing strength, we acquired control of a number of land parcels for for-rent apartment projects, including two student housing sites, totaling approximately 4,550 units. These projects, which are located in the metro-Boston to metro-Washington, D.C. corridor and which we are currently developing or expect to develop in partnership structures over the next several years, should start generating revenues beginning in 2015. A number of these sites had been acquired by us as part of a larger purchase or were originally acquired to develop as for-sale homes. Of the 4,550 planned units, 1,200 are owned by joint ventures in which we have a 50% interest; approximately 1,525 are owned by us; 1,175 of them are under contract; and 650 of them are under letters of intent. We currently own through Toll Brothers Realty Trust and Toll Brothers Realty Trust II interests in approximately 1,500 apartment units in the Washington, D.C. area and Princeton Junction, NJ.
Availability of Customer Mortgage Financing
We maintain relationships with a widely diversified group of mortgage financial institutions, many of which are among the largest and, we believe, most reliable in the industry. We believe that regional and community banks continue to recognize the long-term value in creating relationships with high-quality, affluent customers such as our home buyers, and these banks continue to provide such customers with financing.
We believe that our home buyers generally are, and should continue to be, better able to secure mortgages due to their typically lower loan-to-value ratios and attractive credit profiles as compared to the average home buyer. Nevertheless, in recent years, tightened credit standards have shrunk the pool of potential home buyers and hindered accessibility of or eliminated certain loan products previously available to our home buyers. Our home buyers continue to face stricter mortgage underwriting guidelines, higher down payment requirements and narrower appraisal guidelines than in the past. In addition, some of our home buyers continue to find it more difficult to sell their existing homes as prospective buyers of their homes may face difficulties obtaining a mortgage. In addition, other potential buyers may have little or negative equity in their existing homes and may not be able or willing to purchase a larger or more expensive home.
While the range of mortgage products available to a potential home buyer is not what it was in the period 2005 through 2007, we have seen improvements over the past two years. Indications from industry participants, including commercial banks, mortgage banks, mortgage real estate investment trusts and mortgage insurance companies are that availability, parameters and pricing of jumbo loans are all improving. We believe that improvement should not only enhance financing alternatives for existing jumbo buyers, but also help to offset the reduction in Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac-eligible loan amounts in some markets. Based on the mortgages provided by our mortgage subsidiary, we do not expect the change in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac-eligible loan amounts to have a significant impact on our business.
There has been significant media attention given to mortgage put-backs, a practice by which a buyer of a mortgage loan tries to recoup losses from the loan originator. We do not believe this is a material issue for our mortgage subsidiary. Of the approximately 16,500 loans sold by our mortgage subsidiary since November 1, 2004, only 37 have been the subject of either actual indemnification payments or take-backs or contingent liability loss provisions related thereto. We believe that this is due to (i) our typical home buyer's financial position and sophistication; (ii) on average, our home buyers who use mortgage financing to purchase a home pay approximately 30% of the purchase price in cash; (iii) our general practice of not originating certain loan types such as option adjustable rate mortgages and down payment assistance products, and our origination of few sub-prime and high loan-to-value/no documentation loans; (iv) our elimination of “early payment default” provisions from each of our agreements with our mortgage investors several years ago; and (v) the quality of our controls, processes and personnel in our mortgage subsidiary.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides for a number of new requirements relating to residential mortgage lending practices, many of which are subject to further potential rulemaking. These include, among others, minimum standards for mortgages and related lender practices, the definitions and parameters of a Qualified Mortgage and a Qualified Residential Mortgage, future risk retention requirements, limitations on certain fees, prohibition of certain tying arrangements and remedies for borrowers in foreclosure proceedings in the event that a lender violates fee limitations or minimum standards. The ultimate effect of such provisions on lending institutions, including our mortgage subsidiary, will depend on the rules that are ultimately promulgated.
Gibraltar
We look for distressed real estate opportunities through our Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management LLC (“Gibraltar”) wholly-owned subsidiary. Gibraltar selectively reviews a steady flow of new opportunities, including bank portfolios and other distressed real estate investments.

39



During the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, Gibraltar acquired four loans directly and invested in a loan participation for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $26.0 million. The loans are secured by retail shopping centers, residential land and golf courses located in seven states.
At April 30, 2013, Gibraltar had investments in distressed loans of approximately $48.7 million, investments in foreclosed real estate of $71.5 million and an investment in a structured asset joint venture of $33.2 million.
During the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized income of $4.2 million and $6.9 million from the Gibraltar operations, respectively, including its equity in the earnings from its investment in a structured asset joint venture. For the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized income of $2.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
CONTRACTS AND BACKLOG
The aggregate value of net contracts signed increased $603.0 million or 50.3% in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The value of net contracts signed was $1.80 billion (2,726 homes) and $1.20 billion (1,942 homes) in the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period was the result of a 40.4% increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 7.1% increase in the average value of each contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an increase in demand for our homes in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average value of each contract signed was due primarily to a change in mix to more expensive product and/or areas in the fiscal 2013 period and increased prices and/or reduced incentives given on new contracts signed in the fiscal 2013 period. The contracts signed in the fiscal 2012 period includes 16 sales contracts signed at one of our luxury high-rise developments in the metro-New York market in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 which averaged approximately $4.1 million each; excluding these contracts from net contracts signed, the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal 2013 period would have increased 12.3%, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
The aggregate value of net contracts signed increased $433.3 million or 57.4% in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. The value of net contracts signed was $1.19 billion (1,753 homes) and $754.7 million (1,290 homes) in the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period was the result of a 35.9% increase in the number of net contracts signed, and a 15.8% increase in the average value of each contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an increase in demand for our homes in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average value of each contract signed was due primarily to a change in mix to more expensive product and/or areas in the fiscal 2013 period and increased prices and/or reduced incentives given on new contracts signed in the fiscal 2013 period.
In the six-month and three-month periods ended April 30, 2013, home buyers canceled $88.1 million (126 homes) and $42.8 million (62 homes) of signed contracts, respectively. In the six-month period and three-month periods ended April 30, 2012, home buyers canceled $43.9 million (75 homes) and $18.3 million (32 homes) of signed contracts, respectively. The value and number of cancellations in the fiscal 2013 periods and 2012 periods were within our historical norms.
Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers. The value of our backlog at April 30, 2013 of $2.53 billion (3,655 homes) increased 68.9%, as compared to our backlog at April 30, 2012 of $1.50 billion (2,403 homes). Our backlog at October 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.67 billion (2,569 homes) and $981.1 million (1,667 homes), respectively. The increase in the value of backlog at April 30, 2013, as compared to the backlog at April 30, 2012, was primarily attributable to the increase in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, and the higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to the backlog at October 31, 2011, offset, in part, by the increase in the aggregate value of our deliveries in the six-month period of fiscal 2013, as compared to the aggregate value of deliveries in the six-month period of fiscal 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, our most critical accounting policies relate to inventory, income taxes-valuation allowances and revenue and cost recognition. Since October 31, 2012, there have been no significant changes to those critical accounting policies.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in and advances to various unconsolidated entities. At April 30, 2013, we had investments in and advances to these entities of $357.5 million, and were committed to invest or advance $126.8 million to these entities if they

40



require additional funding. In addition, we have guaranteed approximately $34.4 million of joint venture liabilities, including $22.5 million of loan principal and interest guarantees, and approximately $9.8 million of payments related to a ground lease.
Our investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For more information regarding these joint ventures, see Note 3, "Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
The trends, uncertainties or other factors that have negatively impacted our business and the industry in general have also impacted the unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. We review each of our investments on a quarterly basis for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee, the inability to recover our invested capital, or other factors may indicate that a loss in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred. If a loss exists, we further review to determine if the loss is other than temporary, in which case we write down the investment to its fair value. The evaluation of our investment in unconsolidated entities entails a detailed cash flow analysis using many estimates including but not limited to expected sales pace, expected sales prices, expected incentives, costs incurred and anticipated, sufficiency of financing and capital, competition, market conditions and anticipated cash receipts, in order to determine projected future distributions. Each of the unconsolidated entities evaluates its inventory in a similar manner as we do. See “Critical Accounting Policies - Inventory” contained in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 for more detailed disclosure on our evaluation of inventory. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, our proportionate share is reflected in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to our investment in unconsolidated entities. Based upon our evaluation of the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities, we determined that no impairments of our investments occurred in the six-month and three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012.

REVENUES AND COST OF REVENUES
Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2012 by approximately $245.0 million, or 35.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of homes delivered. In the fiscal 2013 period, we delivered 1,640 homes with a value of $940.6 million, as compared to 1,235 homes in the fiscal 2012 period with a value of $695.6 million. The average price of the homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period was $573,500, as compared to $563,300 in the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to the higher number of homes in backlog at the beginning of fiscal 2013, as compared to the beginning of fiscal 2012.

41



Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 81.4% in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 83.2% in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. In the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized inventory impairment charges and write-offs of $1.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, excluding impairments, was 81.3% of revenues in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 81.7% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was due primarily to lower interest and closing costs and improved absorption of job overhead due to the increased number of homes closed in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by increased the cost of land, land improvements, materials and labor of approximately 1.0% in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. In the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, interest cost as a percentage of revenues was 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively.
Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2012 by approximately $142.3 million, or 38.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of homes delivered. In the fiscal 2013 period, we delivered 894 homes with a value of $516.0 million, as compared to 671 homes in the fiscal 2012 period with a value of $373.7 million. The average price of the homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period was $577,200 as compared to $556,900 in the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to the higher number of homes in backlog at the beginning of fiscal 2013, as compared to the beginning of fiscal 2012.
Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 81.4% in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 82.1% in the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. In the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized inventory impairment charges and write-offs of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, excluding impairments, was 81.2% of revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 81.6% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was due primarily to lower interest and closing costs and improved absorption of job overhead due to the increased number of homes closed in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by increased cost of land, land improvements, materials and labor of approximately 1.3% in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. In the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, interest cost as a percentage of revenues was 4.5% and 4.7%, respectively.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“SG&A”)
SG&A increased by $19.7 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 16.8% in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to 19.8% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decline in SG&A as a percentage of revenues was due to SG&A increasing by 14.3% while revenues increased 35.2%. The dollar increase in SG&A costs was due primarily to increased compensation, information technology, insurance and sales and marketing costs.
SG&A increased by $11.3 million in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 15.4% in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to 18.3% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decline in SG&A as a percentage of revenues was due to SG&A increasing by 16.5% while revenues increased 38.1%. The dollar increase in SG&A costs was due primarily to increased compensation, information technology, insurance and sales and marketing costs.
INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
We are a participant in several joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses from these entities. Many of our joint ventures are land development projects or high-rise/mid-rise construction projects and do not generate revenues and earnings for a number of years during the development of the property. Once development is complete, these joint ventures will generally, over a relatively short period of time, generate revenues and earnings until all assets of the entity are sold. Because there is not a steady flow of revenues and earnings from these entities, the earnings recognized from these entities will vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we recognized $8.1 million of income from unconsolidated entities, as compared to $13.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2012. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, we recognized a $1.6 million recovery of previously incurred charges related to a Development Joint Venture. The $4.0 million decrease in income from unconsolidated entities in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, excluding the recovery recognized in the fiscal 2012 period, was due principally to lower income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, generated from two condominium joint ventures due to their substantial completion in the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher income realized from Gibraltar's Structured Asset Joint Venture in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.

42



In the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we recognized $5.0 million of income from unconsolidated entities, as compared to $7.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2012. In the three-month period ended April 30, 2012, we recognized a $1.6 million recovery of previously incurred charges related to a Development Joint Venture. The remaining $0.4 million decrease in income from unconsolidated entities in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was due principally to lower income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, generated from one of our condominium joint ventures due to their substantial completion in the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher income generated from two development joint ventures in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
OTHER INCOME - NET
Other income - net includes the gains and losses from our ancillary businesses, income from Gibraltar, interest income, management fee income, retained customer deposits, income/losses on land sales and other miscellaneous items.
For the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, other income-net was $24.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively. Fiscal 2013 other income-net includes $13.2 million of income from the settlement of derivative litigation. For more information regarding the derivative litigation, see Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings", in this Form 10-Q. Excluding these settlement proceeds, the decrease in other income - net in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a decrease in income from our Gibraltar operations, lower earnings from land sales and lower management fee income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher income from our ancillary businesses in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, other income-net was $19.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Fiscal 2013 other income-net includes $13.2 million of income from the settlement of derivative litigation. For more information regarding the derivative litigation, see Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings", in this Form 10-Q. Excluding these settlement proceeds, the decrease in other income - net in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a decrease in income from our Gibraltar operations and lower earnings from land sales in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher income from our ancillary businesses in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we reported income before income taxes of $49.3 million, as compared to $9.2 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012.
For the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we reported income before income taxes of $41.0 million, as compared to $15.6 million in the three-month period ended April 30, 2012.
INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT)
We recognized a $20.2 million tax provision in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our federal tax provision would have been $17.3 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the recognition of $2.0 million of accrued interest and penalties (net of federal tax provision) for previously accrued taxes on uncertain tax positions and $0.8 million provision for state income taxes, net of a reversal of $1.3 million of state valuation allowance.
We recognized a $4.8 million tax benefit in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our tax provision would have been $3.2 million. The difference between the tax benefit recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the reversal of $5.3 million of previously accrued taxes on uncertain tax positions (net of federal tax provision), the reversal of $3.3 million of deferred tax valuation allowance, and a $2.1 million increase of new deferred tax assets, offset, in part, by $2.0 million of accrued interest and penalties (net of federal tax provision), a $0.4 million provision for state income taxes, and a $0.3 million increase in our provision for uncertain tax positions.
We recognized a $16.3 million tax provision in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our tax benefit would have been $14.3 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the recognition of $0.8 million of accrued interest and penalties (net of federal tax provision) for previously accrued taxes on uncertain tax positions and $0.6 million provision for state income taxes, net of a reversal of $1.1 million of state valuation allowance.
We recognized a $1.2 million tax benefit in the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our tax provision would have been $5.5 million. The difference between the tax benefit recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the reversal of $4.6 million of deferred tax valuation

allowance, the reversal of $1.2 million of previously accrued taxes on uncertain tax positions (net of federal tax provision), and a $1.6 million increase of new deferred tax assets, offset, in part, by a $0.7 million provision for state income taxes.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Funding for our business has been provided principally by cash flow from operating activities before inventory additions, unsecured bank borrowings and the public debt and equity markets. At April 30, 2013, we had $703.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $232.9 million of marketable securities. At October 31, 2012, we had $778.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $439.1 million of marketable securities. Cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 was $445.4 million. Cash used in operating activities during the fiscal 2013 period was primarily used for the purchase of inventory, offset, in part, by cash generated from net income before income taxes, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, an increase in customer deposits, the sale of mortgage loans to outside investors in excess of mortgage loans originated, and a reduction in restricted cash. The Company expects to utilize the reversal of a portion of its deferred tax assets and tax loss carryforwards to offset a substantial portion of any current year tax liability.
In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, cash provided by our investing activities was $165.7 million. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily generated from $203.3 million of net sales of marketable securities, $40.8 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, distressed loans and foreclosed real estate, offset, in part, by $32.0 million used to fund joint venture investments, $26.2 million for investments in a distressed loans and $20.3 million for the purchase of property and equipment. We generated $204.0 million of cash from financing activities in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, primarily from the issuance of $300 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2023 and $8.4 million from the proceeds of our stock-based benefit plans, offset in part, by the repayment of $59.1 million of our 6.875% senior notes in November 2012 and $14.1 million of repayments of borrowings under our mortgage company warehouse facility, net of new borrowings under it, and $29.2 million of repayments of other loans payable. In May 2013, we issued an additional $100 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2023.
At April 30, 2012, we had $709.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $218.4 million of marketable securities. At October 31, 2011, we had $906.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $233.6 million of marketable securities. Cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 was $271.1 million. Cash used in operating activities during the fiscal 2012 period was primarily used to fund the purchase of inventory, reduce accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including the payment of $57.6 million to fund the litigation settlement related to South Edge, and to replace letters of credit with cash deposits, offset, in part, by the sale of mortgage loans, net of mortgage originations. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, cash used in our investing activities was $209.7 million, including $144.7 million for the acquisition of the assets of CamWest, $75.0 million to fund a new joint venture investment in New York City, $27.5 million for investments in a non-performing loan portfolio and $6.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment. The cash used in investing activities was offset, in part, by $11.9 million of net sales and redemptions of marketable securities and $32.2 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities and in non-performing loan portfolios and foreclosed real estate. We generated $283.5 million of cash from financing activities in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, primarily from the issuance of $300 million of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 in February 2012 and $17.2 million from the proceeds of our stock-based benefit plans, offset, in part, by the repayment of $29.6 million of our mortgage company warehouse facility, net of new borrowings under it, and the repayment of other loans payable.
At April 30, 2013, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements was approximately $1.24 billion. Of the $1.24 billion of land purchase commitments, we paid or deposited $44.1 million, and, if we acquire all of these land parcels, we will be required to pay an additional $1.2 billion. In addition, we expect to acquire an additional 545 home sites from a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest; the purchase price of these lots will be determined in the future. The purchases of these land parcels are scheduled over the next several years. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts. At April 30, 2013, we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $63.1 million.
In general, our cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each home is delivered, we will purchase a home site to replace it. Because we owned approximately 33,100 home sites at April 30, 2013, we do not need to buy home sites immediately to replace those which we deliver. Of the 33,100 home sites we owned, approximately 12,200 are substantially improved. In addition, we generally do not begin construction of our single-family detached homes until we have a signed contract with the home buyer. Should our business decline from present levels, we believe that our inventory levels would decrease as we complete and deliver the homes under construction but do not commence construction of as many new homes, or incur additional costs to improve land we already own, and as we sell and deliver the speculative homes that are currently in inventory, all of which should result in additional cash flow from operations. In addition, we might curtail our acquisition of additional land which would further reduce our inventory levels and cash needs. During the six-month period ended April 30,

44



2013, we acquired control of approximately 6,500 lots (net of lot options terminated). At April 30, 2013, we owned or controlled through options approximately 45,200 home sites, as compared to 40,350 at October 31, 2012.
At April 30, 2013, we had $817.9 million available to us under our $885.0 million revolving credit facility with 12 banks, which matures in October 2014. At April 30, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility but had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $67.1 million. Under the terms of the credit facility, we are not permitted to allow our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) to exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of approximately $2.16 billion at April 30, 2013. At April 30, 2013, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.48 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $3.11 billion. Based upon the minimum tangible net worth requirement at April 30, 2013, our ability to pay dividends was limited to an aggregate amount of approximately $955.2 million or the repurchase of our common stock of approximately $1.31 billion. In addition, at April 30, 2013, we had $12.8 million of letters of credit outstanding which were not part of our credit facility; these letters of credit were collateralized by $13.3 million of cash deposits.
We believe that we will be able to continue to fund our current operations and meet our contractual obligations through a combination of existing cash resources and other sources of credit. Due to the tight credit markets and the uncertainties that exist in the economy and for home builders in general, we cannot be certain that we will be able to replace existing financing or find sources of additional financing in the future; moreover, if we are able to replace all or some of such facilities, we may be subjected to more restrictive borrowing terms and conditions.

“Corporate and other” is comprised principally of general corporate expenses such as the offices of the Executive Officers of the Company, and the corporate finance, accounting, audit, tax, human resources, risk management, marketing and legal groups, directly expensed interest, interest income and income from the Company’s ancillary businesses, Gibraltar, and income (loss) from a number of its unconsolidated entities.
North
Revenues in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2012 by $10.3 million, or 5.5%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 3.3% increase in the number of homes delivered and an increase of 2.1% in the average selling price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products.
The value of net contracts signed in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 was $436.0 million, an 18.4% increase from the $368.3 million of net contracts signed during the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to a 30.6% increase in the number of net contracts signed, offset, in part, by a 9.3% decrease in the average value of each net

46



contract. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an improvement in home buyer demand in the fiscal 2013 period as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, partially offset by a decrease in the number of net contracts signed in our high-rise buildings located in the New York and New Jersey urban markets where unit availability has diminished since the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in the average sales price of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to sales at the Touraine, a high-rise building located in the New York urban market that opened for sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, offset, in part, by increases in base selling prices. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, we signed 16 contracts at the Touraine with an average sales value of approximately $4.1 million each.
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we reported income before income taxes of $14.8 million, as compared to $17.7 million for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The decrease in income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to a decrease in income from unconsolidated entities from $8.3 million in the fiscal 2012 period to $0.9 million in the fiscal 2013, offset, in part, by higher earnings from the increased revenues and lower SG&A, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities in the fiscal April 30, 2013 period was due principally to a decrease in income generated from two of our high-rise joint ventures where there were fewer units remaining for sale since the fiscal 2012 period. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 were lower than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2012 by $6.8 million, or 6.1%. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a 6.5% decrease in the number of homes delivered, offset, in part, by an increase of 0.3% in the average selling price of the homes delivered. The decrease in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a reduction in closings at one of our high-rise buildings located in the New Jersey urban market which is close to being fully settled out, offset, in part, by increased closings primarily in Massachusetts and New Jersey. The increase in closings in these states was primarily due to higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011.
The value of net contracts signed in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 was $291.1 million, a 53.4% increase from the $189.8 million of net contracts signed during the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases of 33.7% and 14.7% in the number of net contracts signed and the average value of each net contract, respectively. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an improvement in home buyer demand in the fiscal 2013 period as compared to the fiscal 2012 period and an increase in net contracts signed at one of our high-rise buildings located in the New York urban market which opened for sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in base selling prices in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we reported income before income taxes of $7.5 million, as compared to $16.7 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. The decrease in income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to lower earnings from the decreased revenues and higher cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, and a decrease in income from unconsolidated entities from $3.7 million in the fiscal 2012 period to $0.2 million in the fiscal 2013 period, offset, in part, by lower SG&A in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The higher cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to higher closings at one of our high-rise buildings located in the New Jersey urban market in the fiscal 2012 period which had significantly higher margins than our normal product and higher inventory impairment charges in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. In the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $1.1 million, as compared to an impairment recovery recognized of $0.6 million in the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities in the fiscal April 30, 2013 period was due principally to a decrease in income generated from two of our high-rise joint ventures where unit availability has diminished since the fiscal 2012 period.
Mid-Atlantic
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, revenues were higher than those for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, by $75.3 million, or 36.8%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 40.4% increase in the number of homes delivered, partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in the average selling price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products.
The value of net contracts signed during the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 increased by $145.4 million, or 46.8%, from the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase was due to a 43.3% increase in the number of net contracts

47



signed and a 2.4% increase in the average value of each net contract. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an increase in home buyer demand in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
We reported income before income taxes for the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, of $33.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The increase in the income before income taxes in the fiscal 2013 period was primarily due to higher earnings from the increased revenues and lower inventory impairment charges in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $17 thousand and $2.8 million, respectively.
For the three-months ended April 30, 2013, revenues were higher than those for the three-months ended April 30, 2012, by $43.9 million, or 42.4%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 45.3% increase in the number of homes delivered, partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in the average selling price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products.
The value of net contracts signed during the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 increased by $95.6 million, or 46.3%, from the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase was due to a 39.0% increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 5.2% increase in the average value of each net contract. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was primarily due to an increase in home buyer demand in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
We reported income before income taxes for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, of $18.5 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The increase in the income before income taxes in the fiscal 2013 period was primarily due to higher earnings from the increased revenues and lower inventory impairment charges in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. Inventory impairment charges decreased by $2.6 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012.
South
Revenues in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 by $63.9 million, or 40.2%. This increase was attributable to a 32.0% increase in the number of homes delivered and a 6.2% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012, was primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the value of net contracts signed increased by $134.8 million, or 52.3%, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase was attributable to increases of 41.7% and 7.4% in the number and average value of net contracts signed, respectively. The increase in the number of net contracts signed in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012, was primarily due to increased demand in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in base selling prices in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, we reported income before income taxes of $16.9 million, as compared to $4.0 million for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase in the income before income taxes was primarily due to lower impairment charges and higher earnings from the increased revenues in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, partially offset by higher SG&A costs in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. In the six-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $0.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

Revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those for the three-month period ended April 30, 2012 by $53.2 million, or 64.6%. This increase was attributable to a 56.6% increase in the number of homes delivered and a 5.1% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012, was primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, the value of net contracts signed increased by $93.5 million, or 57.9%, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. The increase was attributable to increases of 50.6% and 4.8% in the number and average value of net contracts signed, respectively. The increase in the number of net contracts signed in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012, was primarily due to increased demand in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in base selling prices in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the three-month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported income before income taxes of $14.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The increase in the income before income taxes was primarily due to higher earnings from the increased revenues in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, partially offset by higher SG&A costs in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.

Revenues in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those in the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 by $95.5 million, or 65.5%. The increase in revenues was attributable to a 62.2% increase in the number of homes delivered and a 2.1% increase in the average sales price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive products and/or locations, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
The value of net contracts signed during the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 increased $255.1 million, or 97.1%, as compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2012. This increase was due to a 47.0% increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 34.1% increase in the average value of each net contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was due to the addition of communities in Washington from our acquisition of CamWest in fiscal 2012 and an increase in demand in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in base selling prices in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported income before income taxes of $21.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The increase in income before income taxes was primarily due to higher earnings from the increased revenues and lower cost of revenues, excluding interest, as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, excluding interest, was 78.3% in the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 80.0% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in cost of revenues, excluding interest, as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting on the homes delivered in the fiscal 2012 period from our acquisition of CamWest.
Revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 were higher than those in the three-month period ended April 30, 2012 by $52.0 million, or 67.9%. The increase in revenues was attributable to a 50.0% increase in the number of homes delivered and a 12.0% increase in the average sales price of the homes delivered. The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2012, as compared to October 31, 2011. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive products and/or locations, primarily in California, Colorado, and Washington, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
The value of net contracts signed during the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 increased $142.8 million, or 72.5%, as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2012. This increase was due to a 23.6% increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 39.6% increase in the average value of each net contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was due to an increase in demand in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in the average sales price of net contracts signed was primarily due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more

expensive areas and/or products, primarily in California, and increases in base selling prices, in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period.
For the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported income before income taxes of $13.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The increase in income before income taxes was primarily due to higher earnings from the increased revenues and lower cost of revenues, excluding interest, as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, excluding interest, was 78.0% in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 82.5% in the fiscal 2012 period. The decrease in cost of revenues, excluding interest, as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting on the homes delivered in the fiscal 2012 period from our acquisition of CamWest.
Corporate and Other
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, corporate and other loss before income taxes was $37.0 million and $39.5 million, respectively. The decrease in the loss in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to $13.2 million of income from the settlement of derivative litigation. For more information regarding the derivative litigation, see Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings", in this Form 10-Q. Excluding these settlement proceeds, the increase in corporate and other loss before income taxes in the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to higher unallocated SG&A and lower income from our Gibraltar operations in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, offset, in part, by higher income from Gibraltar's investment in a structured asset joint venture, higher income from our ancillary businesses, and higher interest income in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period. The increase in unallocated SG&A in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to higher compensation, office and information technology expenses as a result of the increase in our business activity.
For the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, corporate and other loss before income taxes was $12.2 million and $17.7 million, respectively. The decrease in the loss in the fiscal 2013 period, as compared to the fiscal 2012 period, was primarily due to $13.2 million of income from the settlement of derivative litigation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.
The table below sets forth, at April 30, 2013, our debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates and estimated fair value (amounts in thousands):

Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding at April 30, 2013, and holding the variable-rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $0.7 million per year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected; however, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
The consolidating financial statements included in Note 18 of the financial statements ("Guarantor Footnote") included in this Form 10-Q have been presented in a format that has been adjusted from prior annual and quarterly reports in order to (i) reflect the transfer of the balance sheet, statements of operations and cash flows of certain non-guarantor subsidiaries to guarantor subsidiaries as a result of such entities becoming guarantor subsidiaries as of April 30, 2013 and the reclassification of guarantor and non-guarantor intercompany advances and equity balances with corresponding offsets in the elimination column and (ii) revise the presentation of cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities in the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 to reflect intercompany activity, which had previously been included in cash flow from operating activities, as cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from financing activities. This revised presentation of the Guarantor Footnote has no impact or effect on Toll Brothers, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements for any period presented, including the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income or Statements of Cash Flows. The revised presentation of the Guarantor Footnote has not changed or amended our chief executive officer's and chief financial officer's conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has not been any change in internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended April 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business.
In January 2006, we received a request for information pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act from Region 3 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) concerning storm water discharge practices in connection with our home building projects in the states that comprise EPA Region 3. Thereafter, the U.S. Department of Justice assumed responsibility for the oversight of this matter and alleged that we violated regulatory requirements applicable to storm water discharges. The parties have entered into a consent decree, which has been submitted for approval to the presiding judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. We believe the disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.
On November 4, 2008, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Chancery Court of Delaware by Milton Pfeiffer against Robert I. Toll, Zvi Barzilay, Joel H. Rassman, Bruce E. Toll, Paul E. Shapiro, Robert S. Blank, Carl B. Marbach, and Richard J. Braemer. The plaintiff purports to bring his claims on behalf of Toll Brothers, Inc. and alleges that the director and officer defendants breached their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders with respect to their sales of shares of our common stock during the period from December 9, 2004 to November 8, 2005. The plaintiff alleges that such stock sales were made while in possession of non-public, material information about us. The plaintiff seeks contribution and indemnification from the individual director and officer defendants for costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with defending a now-settled related class action. In addition, again purportedly on our behalf, the plaintiff seeks disgorgement of the defendants' profits from their stock sales.
On March 4, 2009, a second shareholder derivative action was brought by Oliverio Martinez in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The case was brought against the eleven then-current members of our board of directors and the Company's Chief Accounting Officer. This plaintiff alleges breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment during the period from February 2005 to November 2006. The plaintiff further alleges that certain of the defendants sold our stock during this period while in possession of allegedly non-public, material information and plaintiff seeks disgorgement of profits from these sales. The plaintiff also asserts a claim for equitable indemnity for costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with defending a now-settled related class action lawsuit.
On April 1, 2009, a third shareholder derivative action was filed by William Hall, also in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against the eleven then-current members of our board of directors and the Company's Chief Accounting Officer. This complaint is identical to the previous shareholder complaint filed in Philadelphia and, on July 14, 2009, the two cases were consolidated. On April 30, 2010, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint.
An agreement was reached by the parties to settle all three shareholder derivative actions, and this agreement was approved by the Chancery Court of Delaware on March 15, 2013. All three lawsuits have been dismissed.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.

(a)
On March 20, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of our common stock, par value $.01, from time to time, in open market transactions or otherwise, for the purpose of providing shares for our various employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix an expiration date for the repurchase program.
(b)
Our stock incentive plans permit participants to exercise non-qualified stock options using a “net exercise” method at the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. In a net exercise, we generally withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to the participant upon exercise of the stock option that number of shares having a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the option exercise price and applicable income tax withholdings, and remit the remaining shares to the participant. During the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, no participant used the net exercise method to exercise stock options.
Our stock incentive plans permit us to withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to a restricted stock unit recipient upon distribution that number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due and remit the remaining shares to the restricted stock unit recipient. During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we withheld 80 of the shares subject to restricted stock unit to cover $3,000 of income tax withholdings and we issued the remaining 132 shares to the recipient. The shares withheld in connection with the net exercise method are not included in the total number of shares purchased in the table above.
In addition, our stock incentive plans also permit participants in our stock option plans to use the fair market value of Company common stock they own to pay for the exercise of stock options (“stock swap method”). During the three-month period ended April 30, 2013, no participant used the stock swap method to exercise stock options.
Except as set forth above, we have not repurchased any of our equity securities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2013.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and expect that, for the foreseeable future, we will not do so. In addition, our credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement), which restricts the amount of dividends we may pay. At April 30, 2013, under the most restrictive of these provisions, we could have paid up to approximately $955.2 million of cash dividends.
