COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

"We launched our national sales campaign, Big Deal Days, in March and were encouraged by the 728 net contracts signed during the month of March 2014, the highest level of monthly net contracts since April 2008. In addition, the 3.6 net contracts per active selling community in March was the highest level of monthly net contracts per community since September 2007," stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. "However, our sales pace during April and May was choppy and the total monthly sales pace per active selling community in both months fell short of last year's levels."

"We were pleased with the revenue growth, as well as improvements in our gross margin, that we reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2014," stated J. Larry Sorsby, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President. "In order to drive future revenue growth, we have invested in growing our community count. The related general and administrative costs to support these new community openings are hitting our SG&A costs today even though those communities are not yet delivering homes. As a result, our ratio of SG&A to total revenues is higher than normal. As we generate revenues from our increased community count, we will be able to leverage our total SG&A expenses and over time should return to a normalized SG&A ratio of approximately 10%," stated Mr. Sorsby.

"Net contracts from our consolidated communities increased 7% for the second quarter. Given the increases in our consolidated net contracts, community count and backlog, we currently anticipate continued growth in revenues resulting in profitability during the second half of fiscal 2014. We expect to be profitable for all of fiscal 2014, but our profitability is expected to be more back-end weighted than it was in fiscal 2013. Ultimately, positive demographics will be the primary driver of the housing industry. Based on the current low level of national housing starts, we still firmly believe that we are in the early stages of a housing recovery," concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
