The Company also has mortgage banking operations, conducted principally through Pulte Mortgage LLC (Pulte Mortgage), and title operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
On August 18, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Centex through the merger of Pultes merger subsidiary with and into Centex pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 7, 2009 among Pulte, Pi Nevada Building Company, and Centex.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock (the denominator) for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of options and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Any options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, all stock options and non-vested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss recorded during the periods.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the two-class method as required by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260). Under ASC 260, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Companys outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units are considered participating securities under the ASC. The following table presents the reconciliation of earnings per share (000s omitted, except per share data):

PULTE HOMES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies (continued) |
Land, not owned, under option agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company will provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under ASC 810, Consolidation (ASC 810), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity (VIE), the Companys deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, then the Company is required to consolidate the VIE, though creditors of the VIE have no recourse against the Company.
In applying the provisions of ASC 810, the Company evaluates all land option agreements with VIEs to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary based upon an analysis of the expected gains and losses of the entity. The Company generally has little control or influence over the operations of these VIEs due to the Companys lack of an equity interest in them. Therefore, when the Companys requests for financial information are denied, the Company is required to make certain assumptions about the assets, liabilities, and financing of such entities. The VIE is generally protected from the first dollar of loss under the Companys land option agreement due to the Companys deposit. Likewise, the VIEs gains are generally capped based on the purchase price within the land option agreement. The Companys evaluation of expected gains and losses includes consideration of a number of factors, including the size of the Companys initial investment relative to the overall contract price, the risk of obtaining necessary entitlement approvals, the risk related to land development required under the land option agreement, and the risk of potential changes in market value of the land under contract during the contract period.
Generally, financial statements for the VIEs are not available. As a result, for VIEs the Company is required to consolidate, the Company records the remaining contractual purchase price under the applicable land option agreement to land, not owned, under option agreements with an offsetting increase to accrued and other liabilities. Consolidation of these VIEs has no impact on the Companys results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company determined that it was subject to a majority of the expected losses or entitled to receive a majority of the expected residual returns under a limited number of these agreements with scheduled expiration dates through 2010. As a result, the Company recorded $51.3 million and $13.9 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, as land, not owned, under option agreements with the corresponding liability classified within accrued and other liabilities. During the third quarter of 2009, in conjunction with the Centex merger, land option agreements were acquired, increasing the number of VIEs consolidated at September 30, 2009 compared with December 31, 2008. The Company did not provide financial or other support to VIEs other than as stipulated in the land option agreements.
The Companys maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is limited to the Companys deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the applicable land option agreements. In recent years, the Company has canceled a significant number of land option agreements, which has resulted in significant write-offs of the related deposits and pre-acquisition costs but has not exposed the Company to the overall risks or losses of the applicable VIEs.
In addition to land option agreements consolidated under ASC 810, the Company determined that certain land option agreements represent financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 470-40, Accounting for Product Financing Arrangements (ASC 470-40), even though the Company has no direct obligation to pay these future amounts. As a result, the Company recorded $152.2 million and $156.6 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, to land, not owned, under option agreements with a corresponding increase to accrued and other liabilities. Such amounts represent the remaining purchase price under the land option agreements in the event the Company exercises the purchase rights under the agreements. Also included in land, not owned, under option agreements is inventory related to land sales for which the recognition of such sales has been deferred because their terms, primarily related to the Companys continuing involvement with the land, did not meet the full accrual method criteria under ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales. Such amounts were not material at either September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

Allowance for warranties
Home purchasers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a short-term comprehensive limited warranty as well as coverage for certain other aspects of the homes construction and operating systems for periods up to ten years. The Company estimates the costs to be incurred under these warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability for each geographic market in which the Company operates and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates.

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale
Substantially all of the loans originated by the Company are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination. In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments, (ASC 825) the Company has elected the fair value option for its portfolio loans available-for-sale and for first mortgage loans originated subsequent to December 31, 2007. ASC 825 permits entities to measure various financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. Election of the fair value option for residential mortgage loans available-for-sale allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company does not designate any derivative instruments or apply the hedge accounting provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Fair values for conventional agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for government and non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. At September 30, 2009, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, all of which were accounted for at fair value, had an aggregate fair value of $225.8 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $225.0 million. Interest income on these loans is recorded in Financial Services revenues. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of these loans totaled ($3.2) million and ($2.6) million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and ($4.0) million and ($1.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was included in Financial Services revenues. These changes in fair value were mostly offset by changes in fair value of the corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $18.7 million and $19.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $40.7 million and $70.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.
Mortgage servicing rights
The Company sells its servicing rights monthly on a flow basis through fixed price servicing contracts. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue at the time of entering into an interest rate lock commitment with a borrower. Due to the short period of time the servicing rights are held, the Company does not amortize the servicing asset. The servicing sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of payments made by the purchaser if loans prepay within specified periods of time, generally within 90 days after sale. The Company establishes reserves for this liability at the time the sale is recorded. Such reserves totaled $3.2 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and are included in accrued and other liabilities. Servicing rights recognized in Financial Services revenues totaled $11.7 million and $9.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $18.9 million and $36.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Company is exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and cancelled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, the Company uses other derivative financial instruments to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. These financial instruments can include cash forward placement contracts on mortgage-backed securities, whole loan investor commitments, options on treasury futures contracts, and options on cash forward placement contracts on mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company enters into one of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments upon accepting interest rate lock commitments. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment and the other derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings and the fair value is reflected in other assets or other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gains and losses are included in Financial Services revenues.
Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, are based on market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2009, the Company had interest rate lock commitments in the total amount of $296.9 million which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Since the Company can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of these transactions through its normal credit policies.
Cash forward placement contracts on mortgage-backed securities are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash, by offsetting the position, or through the delivery of the financial instrument. Whole loan investor commitments are obligations of the investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Mandatory cash forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments used to minimize the market risk during the period from the time the Company extends an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. Forward contracts are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan commitments are based on values in the Companys whole loan sales agreements. At September 30, 2009, the Company had unexpired cash forward contracts and whole loan investor commitments of $457.1 million and $58.6 million, respectively.
There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within the Companys derivative agreements. Gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments are offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts and whole loan commitments. At September 30, 2009, the maximum length of time that the Company was exposed to the variability in future cash flows of derivative instruments was approximately 75 days.
The fair value of the Companys derivative instruments and their location in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is summarized below ($000s omitted):

New accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (codified in ASC 820), for its non-financial assets and liabilities and for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The adoption of ASC 820 for the Companys non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, though it may in the future. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (all codified in ASC 820). The Company adopted the FSPs as of January 2009, which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (codified in ASC 805). ASC 805 modifies the accounting for business combinations and requires, with limited exceptions, the acquirer in a business combination to recognize 100 percent of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired company at the acquisition-date fair value. In addition, ASC 805 requires the expensing of acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, and certain contingent assets and liabilities acquired, as well as contingent consideration, to be recognized at fair value. ASC 805 also modifies the accounting for certain acquired income tax assets and liabilities. ASC 805 is effective for new acquisitions consummated on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2009 upon the merger with Centex.
In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (codified in ASC 810). ASC 810 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (i.e., minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements and to account for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling owners as equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. ASC 810 also requires expanded disclosure that distinguishes between the interests of the controlling owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. ASC 810 was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810-10 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (codified in ASC 815). ASC 815 expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC 815 was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and the required disclosures have been incorporated into the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (codified in ASC 260). Under ASC 260, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Companys outstanding restricted stock awards are considered participating securities under ASC 260. ASC 260 was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and requires retrospective application. The adoption of the ASC 260 did not have a material impact on the Companys reported earnings per share.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, (codified in ASC 855). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective for the Company for the period ending June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, (codified in ASC 860). ASC 860 requires enhanced disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets and continuing exposure to the related risks. ASC 860 also eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASC 860 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASC 860 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (codified in ASC 810-10). ASC 810 amends existing consolidation guidance for variable interest entities, requires ongoing reassessment to determine whether a variable interest entity must be consolidated, and requires additional disclosures regarding involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. ASC 810 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASC 810-10 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (codified in ASC 105), which created a single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification was effective for the Companys interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Upon adoption, all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards were superseded. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification are considered non-authoritative. The required disclosures have been incorporated into and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-05), amending ASC 820 to provide additional guidance to clarify the measurement of liabilities at fair value. ASU 2009-05 will be effective for the Companys quarter ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2009-05 on its consolidated financial statements.

2. | Centex merger |
On August 18, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Centex through the merger of Pultes merger subsidiary with and into Centex pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 7, 2009 among Pulte, Pi Nevada Building Company, and Centex (the Merger Agreement). As a result of the merger, Centex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pulte. Accordingly, the results of Centex are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements from the date of the merger. For the period from August 19, 2009 to September 30, 2009, Centexs revenues and net loss were $342.4 million and $45.5 million, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Pulte acquired all of the outstanding shares of Centex common stock at the fixed exchange ratio of 0.975 shares of Pulte common stock for each share of Centex common stock. In addition, the majority of the restricted shares of Centex common stock and restricted stock units with respect to Centex common stock granted under Centexs employee and director stock plans vested and were converted per the exchange ratio into Pulte common stock or units with respect to Pulte common stock. Each outstanding vested and unvested Centex stock option granted under Centexs employee and director stock plans was converted into a vested option to purchase shares of Pulte common stock, with adjustments to reflect the exchange ratio.
The Merger Agreement required that, with respect to Centex stock options that were granted with an exercise price less than $40.00 per share, the terms of the converted, vested options to purchase shares of Pulte common stock provided that, if the holder of the option experiences a severance-qualifying termination of employment during the two-year period following the completion of the merger, the stock option remained exercisable until the later of (1) the third anniversary of the date of the termination of employment and (2) the date on which the option would cease to be exercisable in accordance with its terms (or, in either case, if earlier, the expiration of the scheduled term of the option). This provision will result in an immaterial amount of incremental expense in the post-merger period.
The Centex merger was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. For accounting purposes, Pulte was treated as the acquirer, and the consideration transferred was computed based on Pultes common stock closing price of $12.33 per share on August 18, 2009, the date the merger was consummated. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by Pulte at their estimated fair values, with certain limited exceptions. Pulte determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of appraisals or valuations performed by independent third party specialists, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices where available, and estimates made by management. To the extent the consideration transferred exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired, such excess was assigned to goodwill.

Cash and equivalents, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities were generally stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Because Centex had elected the fair value option under ASC 825 for its residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, the historical carrying value of such assets equaled their fair value. Income tax receivables and liabilities were recorded at historical carrying values in accordance with ASC 805. The fair value of assumed senior notes was determined based on quoted market prices.
The Company determined the fair value of inventory on a community-by-community basis primarily using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models, though independent appraisals were also utilized in certain instances. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. Such estimates must be made for each individual community and may vary significantly between communities. See Note 4 for additional discussion of the factors impacting the fair value of land inventory.

2. | Centex merger (continued) |
The fair values for acquired intangible assets were determined based on valuations performed by independent valuation specialists. Of the $100.0 million of acquired intangible assets, $96.0 million related to tradenames that will generally be amortized over 20 years. The remaining $4.0 million related to acquired backlog at August 18, 2009 and will be amortized as the related customer orders close. Amortization expense for these assets totaled $2.6 million for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2009, which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within other expense (income), net.
The Company has completed the majority of its business combination accounting as of September 30, 2009 and expects to substantially complete the remainder in the fourth quarter of 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had not received final valuations from certain independent valuation specialists, including the valuation of acquired property and equipment and assumed casualty insurance liabilities. Additionally, the Company had not completed its final review of the valuation of acquired inventory, investments in unconsolidated entities, income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and certain other assets and liabilities. Final determinations of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may result in adjustments to the values presented above and a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.
Goodwill largely consists of expected synergies resulting from the acquisition and the estimated economic value attributable to Centexs deferred tax assets. The Company expects the combined entity to achieve significant savings in corporate and divisional overhead costs and interest costs. Additional synergies are expected in the areas of purchasing leverage and integrating the combined organizations best practices in operational effectiveness. The Company also anticipates opportunities for growth through expanded geographic and customer segment diversity and the ability to leverage additional brands.
Transaction and integration costs
Transaction and integration costs directly related to the Centex merger, excluding the impact of restructuring costs and acquisition accounting adjustments, totaled $31.9 million and $37.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the majority of which are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. Such costs were expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805. See Note 3 for a discussion of restructuring costs incurred in connection the Centex merger.
Supplemental pro forma information

The supplemental pro forma operating results have been determined after adjusting the operating results of Centex to reflect additional amortization that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied as of January 1, 2009 and 2008. Certain other adjustments, including those related to conforming accounting policies and adjusting acquired inventory to fair value, have not been reflected in the supplemental pro forma operating results due to the impracticability of estimating such impacts. Additionally, given the significant volatility in the homebuilding industry in recent periods, such a presentation would not be indicative of future operating results.

3. | Restructuring |
In connection with the Centex merger, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to leverage corporate and divisional overhead costs. The restructuring plan includes the consolidation of selected corporate and divisional offices, the disposal of related property and equipment, and the elimination of approximately 800 positions. Actions related to the restructuring plan are expected to be substantially completed by early 2010. Included below is a summary of charges incurred and expected to be incurred related to the restructuring ($000s omitted):
Incurred to Date | Total Expected to be Incurred | |||||

1,607 | 3,500 | ||||
Total restructuring charges |
$ | 44,367 | $ | 62,500 | ||
Employee severance benefits are included within selling, general and administrative expense while the lease exit and other costs are included in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. A significant portion of the cash expenditures related to employee severance benefits had been incurred as of September 30, 2009 while the remainder will be incurred in the near term. Cash expenditures related to lease exit costs will be incurred over the remaining terms of the affected office leases, which generally extend several years. The restructuring costs relate to each of the Companys reportable segments and were not material to any one segment.
In response to the challenging operating environment, the Company had taken a series of restructuring actions prior to the Centex merger designed to reduce ongoing operating costs and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of these actions and the merger with Centex, the Company incurred total charges of $45.6 million and $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $52.0 million and $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Such costs include those costs described above resulting from the Centex merger and were primarily attributable to employee severance benefits and lease exit costs.

The Company capitalizes interest cost into homebuilding inventories. Each layer of capitalized interest is amortized over a period that approximates the average life of communities under development. Interest expense is allocated over the period based on the cyclical timing of closings. Interest expensed to homebuilding home cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 included $15.1 million and $57.0 million, respectively, of capitalized interest related to land and community valuation adjustments compared with $19.3 million and $64.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Land Valuation Adjustments and Write-Offs
Land and community valuation adjustments
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360), the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. Such indicators include gross margin or sales paces significantly below expectations, construction costs or land development costs significantly in excess of budgeted amounts, significant delays or changes in the planned development for the community, and other known qualitative factors. For communities that are not yet active, a significant additional consideration includes an evaluation of the regulatory environment related to the probability, timing, and cost of obtaining necessary approvals from local municipalities and any potential concessions that may be necessary in order to obtain such approvals.
The Company also considers potential changes to the product offerings in a community and any alternative strategies for the land, such as the sale of the land either in whole or in parcels. The continued weak market conditions throughout the homebuilding industry have resulted in lower than expected revenues and gross margins. As a result, a portion of the Companys land inventory and communities under development demonstrated potential impairment indicators and were accordingly tested for impairment. As required by ASC 360, the Company compared the expected undiscounted cash flows for these communities to their carrying value. For those communities whose carrying values exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows, the Company calculated the fair value of the community in accordance with ASC 360. Impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of the communitys inventory is less than its carrying value.

Land Valuation Adjustments and Write-Offs (continued)
Land and community valuation adjustments (continued)
The Company determines the fair value of a communitys inventory primarily using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. Such estimates must be made for each individual community and may vary significantly between communities. The assumptions used in our discounted cash flow models are specific to each community tested for impairment and typically do not assume improvements in market conditions except in limited circumstances in the latter years of long-lived communities. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, and the long life cycles of many communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. The Companys determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each communitys fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the communitys cash flow streams. For example, communities that are entitled and near completion will generally require a lower discount rate than communities that are not entitled and consist of multiple phases spanning several years of development and construction activity.
The table below provides, as of the date indicated, the number of communities in which the Company recognized impairment charges, the fair value of those communities at such date (net of impairment charges), and the amount of impairment charges recognized ($ in millions):

The Company recorded these valuation adjustments in its Consolidated Statements of Operations within Homebuilding home cost of revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reviewed each of its land positions for potential impairment indicators and performed detailed impairment calculations for approximately 250 communities. The discount rate used in the Companys determination of fair value for the impaired communities ranged from 12% to 21%, with an aggregate average of 15%. If conditions in the homebuilding industry or the Companys local markets worsen in the future, the current difficult market conditions extend beyond the Companys expectations, or the Companys strategy related to certain communities changes, the Company may be required to evaluate its assets, including additional projects, for future impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.
Net realizable value adjustments land held for sale
The Company acquires land primarily for the construction of homes for sale to customers but periodically sells select parcels of land to third parties for commercial or other development. Additionally, the Company may determine that certain of its land assets no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. In such instances, the Company classifies the land asset as land held for sale, assuming the criteria in ASC 360 are met. During 2009, a significant portion of land previously classified as land held for sale was reclassified to either land under development or land held for future development as a result of either a change in strategy related to the land or a change in market conditions.

Net realizable value adjustments land held for sale (continued)
In accordance with ASC 360, the Company values land held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the fair value of land held for sale, the Company considers recent legitimate offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. As a result of changing market conditions in the real estate industry, a portion of the Companys land held for sale was written down to net realizable value. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized net realizable value adjustments related to land held for sale of $8.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively, and $16.2 million and $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company records these net realizable value adjustments in its Consolidated Statements of Operations within Homebuilding land cost of revenues.

Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs
From time to time, the Company writes off certain deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue. Such decisions take into consideration changes in national and local market conditions, the willingness of land sellers to modify terms of the related purchase agreement, the timing of required land takedowns, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. The Company wrote off (net of recoveries) deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $17.2 million and ($0.9) million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $18.2 million and $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company records these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs in its Consolidated Statements of Operations within other expense (income), net.

The Company has determined that its Homebuilding operating segments are its Areas. In connection with the Centex merger, the Company realigned the organizational structure for certain of its markets. The operating data by segment provided in this note have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, the Companys reportable Homebuilding segments are as follows:
Northeast: | Northeast Area includes the following states: | |
Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, | ||
New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia | ||
Southeast: | Southeast Area includes the following states: | |
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee | ||

* | The Companys homebuilding operations located in Reno, Nevada are reported in the West segment, while its remaining Nevada homebuilding operations are reported in the Southwest segment. Also, our Hawaii and Puerto Rico operations are included in Other homebuilding, which does not represent a reportable segment. |
The Company also has one reportable segment for its financial services operations, which consist principally of mortgage banking and title operations. The Companys Financial Services segment operates generally in the same markets as the Companys Homebuilding segments.
Evaluation of segment performance is based on operating earnings from continuing operations before provision for income taxes which, for the Homebuilding segments, is defined as home sales (settlements) and land sale revenues less home cost of revenues, land cost of revenues, and certain selling, general, and administrative and other expenses, plus equity income from unconsolidated entities, which are incurred by or allocated to the Homebuilding segments. Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with the Companys mortgage and title operations and certain selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the Financial Services segment. Each reportable segment generally follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The total number of active joint ventures increased significantly in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the Centex merger. However, the activities are substantially complete for many of the joint ventures acquired with the Centex merger. The consolidation of two joint ventures in which the Company and Centex were partners was the primary cause for the decrease in investments in other active joint ventures as reflected in the above table.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized an equity loss from its unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million and $57.2 million, respectively, including impairments totaling $5.8 million and $58.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized an equity loss of $2.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from its unconsolidated joint ventures, including impairments totaling $1.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company made capital contributions of $28.4 million and $49.6 million, respectively, to its joint ventures and received capital and earnings distributions of $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, from its joint ventures.
The timing of cash obligations under the joint venture and related financing agreements varies by agreement and in certain instances is contingent upon the joint ventures sale of its land holdings. If additional capital infusions are required and approved, the Company would need to contribute its pro rata portion of those capital needs in order not to dilute its ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, the Company believes the total amount of such contributions will be limited. The Companys maximum financial loss exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.
The Company has committed through a limited recourse guaranty that one of the joint ventures will maintain specified loan to value ratios. While such debt is scheduled to be repaid in 2010, the Company and its joint venture partners agreed with the lender to make an early repayment of a portion of the debt, which resulted in the Company making a capital contribution of $14.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Another joint venture agreement providing limited recourse guaranties requires the Company and other members of the joint venture to guarantee for the benefit of the lender the completion of the project if the joint venture does not perform the required development and an increment of interest on the loan. This joint venture defaulted under its debt agreement, and the lender has foreclosed on the joint ventures property that served as collateral. During 2008, the lender also filed suit against the majority of the members of the joint venture, including the Company, in an effort to enforce the completion guaranty. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against the lawsuit, there is no assurance that the Company will not be required to pay damages under the completion guaranty. The Companys maximum exposure should be limited to its proportionate share of the amount, if any, determined to be owed under such guaranties. Accordingly, the amount of any potential loss the Company might incur as a result of resolving this matter should not exceed the Companys proportionate share of the joint ventures outstanding principal plus accumulated interest as of the date the lender foreclosed on the property, the Companys proportionate share of which totaled approximately $52.2 million at September 30, 2009, representing 12% of the total pre-foreclosure exposure of the joint venture, and which is excluded from the above table.
Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the lenders for the three joint ventures with limited recourse guaranties for certain environmental contingencies, and the guaranty arrangements provide that the Company is responsible for its proportionate share of the outstanding debt if the joint venture voluntarily files for bankruptcy. The Company would not be responsible under these guaranties unless the joint venture was unable to meet its contractual borrowing obligations or in instances of fraud, misrepresentation, or other bad faith actions by the Company. To date, the Company has not been requested to perform under any bankruptcy or environmental guaranties described above.
In addition to the joint ventures with limited recourse guaranties, the Company has investments in other unconsolidated entities, some of which have debt. These investments include the Companys joint ventures in Puerto Rico, which are in the liquidation stage, as well as other entities. The Company does not have any significant financing exposures related to these entities.

7. | Shareholders equity |
Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase program authorized in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), the Company has repurchased a total of 9,688,900 shares for a total of $297.7 million, though there were no repurchases under these programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company had remaining authorization to purchase $102.3 million of common stock at September 30, 2009.
Under its stock-based compensation plans, the Company accepts shares as payment under certain conditions related to stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock, generally related to the payment of minimum tax obligations. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company repurchased $4.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of shares from employees under these plans. Such repurchases are excluded from the $400 million stock repurchase authorization.
On November 24, 2008, the Board of Directors discontinued the regular quarterly dividend on the Companys common stock effective in the first quarter of 2009.
On March 5, 2009, the Companys board of directors adopted a Section 382 rights agreement and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2009. The Companys board of directors also adopted resolutions on March 5, 2009 providing for the issuance of a series of preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share, designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares. The rights plan was adopted in an effort to protect shareholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on the Companys ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards (the NOLs) and certain other tax benefits to reduce potential future U.S. federal income tax obligations. Any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Companys securities after March 5, 2009 without the approval of the Companys board of directors would be subjected to significant dilution in its holdings.
On September 24, 2009, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Section 382 Rights Agreement dated as of March 5, 2009, as previously amended on April 7, 2009. The rights amendment revised certain definitions and also made a number of revisions to the expiration date of the rights. The final expiration date was changed from March 16, 2019 to June 1, 2013. In addition, the rights amendment deleted the provision that the rights would expire when the board of directors of the Company determined that the rights plan was no longer in the best interests of the Company and replaced it with the provision that the rights will expire on June 1, 2010, if the shareholders of the Company do not approve the rights plan at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

8. | Income taxes |
The Companys income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively, compared with a benefit of $14.2 million and $67.9 million in the corresponding prior year periods. These amounts represent effective tax rates of 0.7% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with effective tax rates of 4.8% and 5.6% in the corresponding prior year periods. The change in the effective tax rate resulted primarily from adjustments during 2008 to the valuation allowance recorded against the Companys deferred tax assets.
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $3.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, which was substantially offset by a valuation allowance, due to the uncertainty of realizing such deferred tax assets. The Company has $37.6 million of net deferred tax assets (and related tax liability) that are realizable as a result of uncertain tax positions that generate a future source of taxable income. The increase in the net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance is principally due to the merger with Centex on August 18, 2009. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during future periods. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future tax consequences could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.
As a result of the Companys merger with Centex, the Companys ability to use certain of Centexs pre-ownership net operating losses and built-in losses or deductions will be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Companys Section 382 limitation is estimated to be approximately $68 million per year for net operating losses, losses realized on built-in loss assets that are sold within five years of the ownership change, and certain deductions. The limitation may result in a significant portion of Centexs pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards and future built-in losses or deductions not being available for use by the Company.
The Companys gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2009, increased by $126 million to $252 million. In addition, accrued interest and penalties increased by $48 million to $84 million. These increases result primarily from the Companys merger with Centex. It is reasonably possible, within the next twelve months, that the Companys unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $82 million due to expirations of certain statutes of limitations and potential settlements with various tax jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Companys major tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for tax years 1998-2008.

9. | Fair value disclosures |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and 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. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
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. |
The Companys financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below ($000s omitted):

In addition, certain of the Companys assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Companys assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below ($000s omitted):

The fair values included in the table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value in the current quarter and exclude any assets acquired with the Centex merger, which were adjusted to fair value as of the merger date as described in Note 2. The Company measured certain of its loans held for investment at fair value since the cost of the loans exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the loans was determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For house and land inventory, see Note 4 of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of the valuation method used.
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. At September 30, 2009, the fair value of the senior notes outstanding approximated $4.1 billion. The carrying values of the senior notes are presented in Note 10. The carrying value of collateralized short-term debt approximates fair value. Borrowings under Financial Services credit lines are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The carrying amounts of such borrowings approximate fair value.

The Company retired a significant amount of its outstanding senior notes during 2009 through a number of separate transactions. The Company repurchased $1.5 billion of senior notes during a tender offer completed in September 2009 that resulted in a loss of $47.4 million. Also in September 2009, the Company retired at their scheduled maturity date the remaining $211.0 million of the 5.800% senior notes due 2009 assumed with the Centex merger. In July 2009, the Company retired at their scheduled maturity date the remaining $25.4 million of the 4.875% senior notes due 2009. In May and June 2009, the Company repurchased a total of $192.9 million of senior notes that resulted in a net gain of $15.9 million. As a net result of these transactions, other expense (income), net as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes losses on debt repurchases of $47.4 million and $31.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
The Company repurchased $313.4 million of its 4.875% senior notes due 2009 during a tender offer completed in June 2008, which resulted in a loss of $1.6 million. In February 2008, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility, which resulted in a loss of $1.5 million. Both such losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within other expense (income), net.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant under its revolving credit facility. The Company subsequently requested and received a limited waiver from its banks until December 15, 2009, permitting the Company to utilize letters of credit under the credit facility during the term of the waiver. The Company expects to negotiate a permanent amendment by December 15, 2009, but there can be no assurance that any agreement regarding the amendment can be reached. If the Company does not reach an agreement with its banks prior to expiration of the waiver, the Company may seek an extension of the waiver or alternatively terminate the credit facility.

As of September 30, 2009, Pulte Mortgage had a combination of repurchase agreements in place that provided borrowing capacity totaling $175 million:
| In May 2009, Pulte Mortgage entered into a master repurchase agreement with Comerica Bank, which was subsequently amended in September 2009. The repurchase agreement provides for advances of up to $70 million, subject to certain sublimits, and includes an accordion feature under which Pulte Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments be increased to an amount up to $140 million. The repurchase agreement expires on May 14, 2010 and replaced Pulte Mortgages previous revolving credit agreement, which expired on May 15, 2009. The repurchase agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including the following financial covenants: (i) adjusted tangible net worth shall not be less than $52.8 million, (ii) the adjusted tangible net worth ratio shall not be more than 10.0 to 1.0, (iii) quarterly net income shall not be less than $1, and (iv) liquidity shall be no less than $15.0 million. In the event Pulte Mortgage fails to comply with the net income covenant, the Company can cure the failure via a corresponding capital contribution. However, such cure right can only be exercised one time for periods ending after June 30, 2009 and is limited to $5 million. |
| In 2009, Pulte Mortgage entered into a master repurchase agreement with Bank of America, N.A., which expires on July 30, 2010 and provides advances for up to $35 million, subject to certain sublimits. The other terms and conditions of the repurchase agreement with Bank of America, N.A., including the financial covenants, are substantially similar to those under the repurchase agreement with Comerica Bank. |
| In September 2009, Pulte Mortgage entered into a master repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides for loan purchases of up to $70 million, subject to certain sublimits. The repurchase agreement expires on September 29, 2010. The repurchase agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including the following financial covenants: (i) the leverage ratio should not exceed 10.0 to 1.0, computed as of the end of each calendar month; (ii) the minimum adjusted tangible net worth computed as of the end of each calendar month shall not be less than $57.0 million; (iii) the minimum special current ratio computed as of the end of each calendar month shall not be less than 1.05 to 1.0; (iv) liquidity shall be greater than or equal to 3% of actual total assets, as defined within the repurchase agreement; (v) the available warehouse facility under the repurchase agreement should constitute no more than 50% of Pulte Mortgages aggregate available warehouse facilities; (vi) for each of the quarters ending September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2009, Pulte Mortgages negative net income before taxes shall not be more than $3.0 million; (vii) commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2010, Pulte Mortgage shall not permit its net income before taxes, for such quarter and each calendar quarter thereafter, to be less than $1; (viii) the maximum warehouse capacity ratio shall not exceed 20.0 to 1.0, computed as of the end of each calendar month; and (ix) Pulte Mortgage shall originate no more than 20% of its total loan originations in any calendar month through wholesale or broker originations. |
CTX Mortgage Company LLC (CTX Mortgage), which was acquired with the Centex merger, also has a master repurchase agreement in place with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. dated October 30, 2008 providing for advances of up to $50 million, subject to certain sublimits. The repurchase agreement expires on January 31, 2010 and contains various affirmative and negative covenants. As of September 30, 2009, CTX Mortgage received a waiver of a financial covenant related to the repurchase agreement related to the quarterly loss covenant for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company is in the process of transitioning all loan origination production to Pulte Mortgage and expects to complete this transition by December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to replace the CTX Mortgage repurchase agreement upon its expiration.

Loan origination liabilities
The Companys mortgage operations have established liabilities for anticipated losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors that may result from certain borrower early payment defaults or loans that have not been underwritten in accordance with the investor guidelines. In the normal course of business, the Companys mortgage operations also provide limited indemnities for certain loans sold to the investors. The Company establishes the liabilities for such anticipated losses based upon, among other things, historical loss rates, current trends in loan originations, and the geographic location of the underlying collateral. Effective with the Centex merger, the Company assumed loan origination liabilities totaling $52.6 million. Also during 2009, the Company has experienced a significant increase in actual and anticipated losses as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to the Company. Changes in these liabilities are as follows ($000s omitted):

Community development and other special district obligations
A community development district or similar development authority (CDD) is a unit of local government created under various state statutes that utilizes the proceeds from the sale of bonds to finance the construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets of a development. A portion of the liability associated with the bonds, including principal and interest, is assigned to each parcel of land within the development. This debt is typically paid by subsequent special assessments levied by the CDD on the landowners. Generally, the Company is only responsible for paying the special assessments for the period in which it is the landowner of the applicable parcels. However, in certain limited instances the Company records a liability for future assessments that are fixed or determinable for a fixed or determinable period in accordance with ASC 970-470, Real Estate Debt. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had recorded $229.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively, in accrued liabilities for outstanding CDD obligations. The increase in the liability as of September 30, 2009 related to CDD obligations for certain communities acquired with the Centex merger.
Surety bonds
In the normal course of business, the Company posts surety bonds: (1) pursuant to certain performance related obligations, (2) as security for certain land option purchase agreements of Homebuilding, and (3) under various insurance programs. In addition, the Company is subject to approximately $1.6 billion of surety bonds related to certain construction obligations of Centexs previous commercial construction business, which was sold by Centex on March 30, 2007. The Company estimates that less than $200 million of work remains to be performed on these commercial construction projects. No event has occurred that has led the Company to believe that these bonds will be drawn upon. Additionally, the purchaser of the Centex commercial construction business has indemnified the Company against potential losses relating to such surety bond obligations. As additional security, the Company has purchased for its benefit a back-up indemnity provided by a financial institution with an investment grade credit rating. The obligation of such financial institution under the back-up indemnity is limited to $400 million and terminates in 2016, if not previously terminated by the Company.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various litigation incidental to its continuing business operations. Management does not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.

The Act amended Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code to allow net operating losses realized in either tax year 2008 or 2009 to be carried back up to five years (previously limited to a two-year carryback). This change will allow the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to carry back 2009 taxable losses to prior years and receive refunds of previously paid Federal income taxes. Based on the Companys projected taxable losses for 2009, the Company anticipates that such refunds should be in excess of $450 million. The ultimate amount of such refunds realized is dependent on a variety of factors, including the Companys actual taxable losses for 2009, which are not yet completed and may vary significantly from the Companys current expectations.
The Act also extended and expanded the current homebuyer tax credit until April 30, 2010. While the ultimate impact of this legislation is not yet determinable, the Company believes that it could have a stimulative impact on the demand for new housing.
13. | Supplemental Guarantor information |
All of the Companys senior notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by each of the Companys wholly-owned Homebuilding subsidiaries and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Guarantors). Such guaranties are full and unconditional. Supplemental consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantors, is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not provided as the consolidating financial information contained herein provides a more meaningful disclosure to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets held by, and the operations of, the combined groups.
