Donald R.

We will continue to focus on providing affordable homes, controlling our costs and contracting for new communities with attractively priced finished lots.
"We have generated positive cash flow from operations in each of the past seventeen quarters, and our homebuilding unrestricted cash and marketable securities totaled $1.6 billion at September 30, 2010, even after retiring over $1 billion of debt during the fiscal year. Our net homebuilding debt to total capitalization decreased to 16.1% at the end of the fiscal year, and we will continue to focus on maintaining our strong liquidity position and balance sheet."
