NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2010
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R.
Horton, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (which are
referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires), as well as certain variable
interest entities of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant
intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal,
recurring accruals and the asset impairment charges, loss reserves and deferred tax asset valuation
allowance discussed below) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These
financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 included in the Companys
current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2010, which updated the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K.
Reclassifications/Revisions
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year. In accordance with the authoritative guidance issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for noncontrolling interests which was adopted
at the beginning of fiscal 2010, the balance sheet at September 30, 2009 has been revised to
present minority interests (now referred to as noncontrolling interests) as a component of equity
rather than as a liability. The balance sheet at September 30, 2009 has also been revised to
reflect the change in accounting for convertible debt as described below under Adoption of New
Accounting Principle. Additionally, the statement of cash flows for the six months ended March 31,
2009 has been revised to reflect the reclassification of homebuilding restricted cash from other
assets to restricted cash and the reclassification of insurance receivables from a component of
accrued expenses and other liabilities to other assets.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) reported in the
consolidated statements of operations to comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six-month
periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Adoption of New Accounting Principle
As described in the Companys current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2010 and its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009, on October 1, 2009, the
Company adopted and applied retrospectively the FASBs authoritative guidance for accounting for
debt with conversion options. Early adoption of this authoritative guidance was not permitted. As a
result, the prior year consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for the
effects of this change in accounting for the Companys 2% convertible senior notes issued in May
2009.
Seasonality
Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the
operating results for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Business
The Company is a national homebuilder that is engaged primarily in the construction and sale
of single-family housing in 71 markets and 26 states in the United States at March 31, 2010. The
Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached homes on lots it developed and on finished
lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells
attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums (including some mid-rise
buildings), which share common walls and roofs. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots. The
Company also provides title agency and mortgage financing services, principally to its homebuyers.
The Company generally does not retain or service the mortgages that it originates but, rather,
seeks to sell the mortgages and related servicing rights to third-party purchasers.
NOTE B MARKETABLE SECURITIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company began to invest a portion of its
cash on hand by purchasing marketable securities with maturities in excess of three months. To be
considered for investment, securities must meet certain minimum requirements as to their credit
ratings, time to maturity and other risk-related criteria as prescribed by the Companys investment
policies. The primary objective of these investments is the preservation of capital, with the
secondary objectives of attaining higher yields than the Company earns on its cash and cash
equivalents, and maintaining a high degree of liquidity.
The Companys investment portfolio at March 31, 2010 included U.S. Treasury securities,
government agency securities, foreign government securities, corporate debt securities, and
certificates of deposit. These investments are held in the custody of a single financial
institution. The Company considers its investment portfolio to be available-for-sale. Accordingly,
these investments are recorded at fair value. At the end of a reporting period, unrealized gains
and losses on these investments, net of tax, are recorded directly to accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheet. The effect of these investments on
other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 is
presented in Note A. There were no sales of securities from inception of the program through March
31, 2010, and therefore, there were no realized gains or losses related to these investments during
the period.

NOTE C INVENTORY IMPAIRMENTS AND LAND OPTION COST WRITE-OFFS
At March 31, 2010, when the Company performed its quarterly inventory impairment analysis, the
assumptions utilized reflected the stabilizing conditions experienced in many of its markets as
indicated by the improvements in the Companys operating results for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010, as well as the Companys expectation of continued challenging conditions in the
homebuilding industry and in its markets. The impairment evaluation indicated communities with a
combined carrying value of $533.8 million as of March 31, 2010 had indicators of potential
impairment and these communities were evaluated for impairment. The analysis of the large majority
of these communities assumed that sales prices in future periods will be equal to or lower than
current sales order prices in each community, or in comparable communities, in order to generate an
acceptable absorption rate. For a minority of communities that the Company does not intend to
develop or operate in current market conditions, slight increases over current sales prices were
assumed. While it is difficult to determine a timeframe for a given community in the current market
conditions, the remaining lives of these communities were estimated to be in a range from six
months to in excess of ten years. In performing this analysis, the Company utilized a range of
discount rates for communities of 14% to 20%, which is consistent with the rates used in fiscal
2009. Through this evaluation process, it was determined that communities with a carrying value of
$8.5 million as of March 31, 2010 were impaired. As a result, during the three months ended March
31, 2010, impairment charges of $2.3 million were recorded to reduce the carrying value of the
impaired communities to their estimated fair value, as compared to $45.0 million in the same period
of the prior year. During the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, impairment charges totaled
$4.1 million and $100.1 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2010,
approximately 81% of the impairment charges were recorded to residential land and lots and land
held for development, and approximately 19% of the charges were recorded to construction in
progress and finished homes inventory, compared to 75% and 25%, respectively, in the same period of
2009. In the six months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 74% of the impairment charges were
recorded to residential land and lots and land held for development, and approximately 26% of the
charges were recorded to construction in progress and finished homes inventory, compared to 68% and
32%, respectively, in the same period of 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2010
The Companys estimate of undiscounted cash flows from communities analyzed may change and
could result in a future need to record impairment charges to adjust the carrying value of these
assets to their estimated fair value. There are several factors which could lead to changes in the
estimates of undiscounted future cash flows for a given community. The most significant of these
include pricing and incentive levels actually realized by the community, the rate at which the
homes are sold and the costs incurred to construct the homes. The pricing and incentive levels are
often inter-related with sales pace within a community such that a price reduction can be expected
to increase the sales pace. Further, both of these factors are heavily influenced by the
competitive pressures facing a given community from both new homes and existing homes, which may
result from foreclosures. If conditions in the broader economy, homebuilding industry or specific
markets in which the Company operates worsen, and as the Company re-evaluates specific community
pricing and incentives, construction and development plans, and its overall land sale strategies,
it may be required to evaluate additional communities or re-evaluate previously impaired
communities for potential impairment. These evaluations may result in additional impairment
charges.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had $6.0 million of land held for sale, consisting of land held
for development and land under development that has met the criteria of land held for sale.
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company wrote off $0.1
million and $3.1 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related
to land option contracts which are not expected to be acquired. During the six-month periods ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recovered $0.5 million and wrote off $4.3 million,
respectively, of such deposits and costs.
NOTE D LAND INVENTORY NOT OWNED
In the ordinary course of its homebuilding business, the Company enters into land and lot
option purchase contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these
contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the
obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the
terms of the option purchase contracts, many of the option deposits are not refundable at the
Companys discretion.
Certain option purchase contracts result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity
holding the land parcel under option. The Company evaluates those land and lot option purchase
contracts with variable interest entities to determine whether the Company is the primary
beneficiary based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the entity.
The expected gains and losses are primarily determined by the amount of deposit required by the
contract, the time period or term of the contract, and by analyzing the volatility in home sales
prices as well as development and entitlement risk in each specific market. Based on this
evaluation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity with which the Company has
entered into a land or lot option purchase contract, the variable interest entity is consolidated.
The consolidation of variable interest entities added $7.1 million in land inventory not owned
and noncontrolling interests related to entities not owned to the Companys consolidated balance
sheet at March 31, 2010. The Companys obligations related to these land or lot option contracts
are guaranteed by deposits, including cash, promissory notes and surety bonds, totaling $0.7
million as of March 31, 2010. Creditors, if any, of these variable interest entities have no
recourse against the Company.
For the variable interest entities which are unconsolidated because the Company is not subject
to a majority of the risk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entities residual
returns, the maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to the amounts of the Companys option
deposits. At March 31, 2010, the amount of option deposits related to these contracts totaled $5.0
million and is included in homebuilding other assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

These senior notes were redeemed or repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $535.2
million, plus accrued interest, resulting in a net gain on early retirement of debt of $1.6 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The gain is net of unamortized discounts and fees written
off, including a loss of $2.0 million for the call premium and write-off of unamortized fees
related to the early redemption of the 5.875% senior notes due 2013.
In April 2010, through an unsolicited transaction, the Company repurchased $6.5 million
principal amount of its 9.75% senior notes due 2010 for an aggregate purchase price of $6.7
million, plus accrued interest.
The indentures governing the Companys senior notes and senior subordinated notes impose
restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2010, the Company was in
compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions that form a part of the public debt
obligations.
Financial Services:
The Companys mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, entered into a mortgage sale and repurchase
agreement (the mortgage repurchase facility) on March 28, 2008. The mortgage repurchase facility,
which is accounted for as a secured financing, provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by
facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the
counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased
loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their
sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to
120 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In March 2010, through
an amendment to the repurchase agreement, the capacity of the facility was increased from $100
million to $150 million, with a provision allowing an increase in the capacity to $175 million
during the last five business days of a fiscal quarter and the first seven business days of the
following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the amendment extended the maturity date of the facility to
March 4, 2011.

March 31, 2010
As of March 31, 2010, $225.2 million of mortgage loans held for sale were pledged under the
repurchase arrangement. These mortgage loans had a collateral value of $209.3 million. DHI Mortgage
has the option to fund a portion of its repurchase obligations in advance. As a result of advance
paydowns totaling $131.6 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $77.7 million outstanding under
the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2010 at a 3.8% interest rate.
The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by either D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the
subsidiaries that guarantee the Companys homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial
covenants as to the mortgage subsidiarys minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum
allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. At March 31,
2010, the mortgage subsidiary was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the
mortgage repurchase facility.
NOTE F HOMEBUILDING INTEREST
The Company capitalizes homebuilding interest costs to inventory during active development and
construction. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is
delivered to the buyer. Additionally, the Company writes off a portion of the capitalized interest
related to communities for which inventory impairments are recorded. The Companys inventory under
active development and construction was lower than its debt level at March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Therefore, a portion of the interest incurred was expensed directly to interest expense as
reflected below.
The following table summarizes the Companys homebuilding interest costs incurred,
capitalized, expensed as interest expense, charged to cost of sales and written off during the
three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

NOTE G MORTGAGE LOANS
To manage the interest rate risk inherent in its mortgage operations, the Company hedges its
risk using various derivative instruments, which include forward sales of mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) and put options on both MBS and EDFC. Use of
the term hedging instruments in the following discussion refers to these securities collectively,
or in any combination. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2010
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans
collateralized by the underlying property. Newly originated loans that have been closed but not
committed to third-party purchasers are hedged to mitigate the risk of changes in their fair value.
Hedged loans are committed to third-party purchasers typically within three days after origination.
At March 31, 2010, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $237.1 million and
an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $234.6 million. During the three months ended March
31, 2010, the Company had a net gain on sales of loans of $7.3 million, compared to a net loss on
sales of loans of $3.9 million in the same period of 2009. During the six months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, the Company had net gains on sales of loans of $19.0 million and $3.4 million,
respectively, which includes the effect of recording recourse expense, as discussed below in Other
Mortgage Loans, of $8.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively.
The notional amounts of the hedging instruments used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale
vary in relationship to the underlying loan amounts, depending on the movements in the value of
each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value
change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the mortgage
loans held for sale, which for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was not significant,
and is recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $131.4 million in
mortgage loans held for sale not committed to third-party purchasers and the notional amounts of
the hedging instruments related to those loans totaled $130.5 million.
Other Mortgage Loans
Generally, mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions which include
industry-standard representations and warranties, primarily involving the absence of
misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties and, depending on the agreement, may include
requiring a minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company does not retain any
other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. Other mortgage
loans generally consist of loans repurchased due to these limited recourse obligations. Typically,
these loans are impaired and often become real estate owned through the foreclosure process.
Based on historical performance and current housing and credit market conditions, the Company
has recorded reserves for estimated losses on other mortgage loans, real estate owned, future loan
repurchase obligations due to the limited recourse provisions and losses for mortgage reinsurance
activities, all of which are recorded as reductions of financial services revenue. These reserves
totaled $43.2 million and $43.6 million at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and
comprise the reserves that follow. Other mortgage loans, subject to nonrecurring fair value
measurement, totaled $48.6 million and $50.2 million at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009,
respectively, and had corresponding loss reserves of $11.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
The Company has established loss reserves for real estate owned of $2.7 million and $2.6 million at
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The Companys other mortgage loans and real
estate owned are included in financial services other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. Additional loss reserves at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 included
liabilities of $29.3 million and $27.9 million, respectively, for expected losses on future loan
repurchase obligations due to the limited recourse provisions.
A subsidiary of the Company reinsured a portion of private mortgage insurance written on loans
originated by DHI Mortgage in prior years. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, reserves for
expected future losses under the reinsurance program totaled $14.1 million and $18.7 million,
respectively. The mortgage repurchase
and reinsurance loss reserves are included in financial services accounts payable and other
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. It is possible that future losses may
exceed the amount of reserves and, if so, additional charges will be required.

Loan Commitments
The Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) which are extended to borrowers
who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At March 31,
2010, IRLCs totaled $255.8 million which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at
fair value.
The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts
whole loan delivery commitments and hedging instruments. These instruments are considered
derivatives in an economic hedge and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses
recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $22.4 million
of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and $207.3 million of hedging instruments related
to IRLCs not yet committed to purchasers.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had $10.3 million in MBS which were acquired as part of a
program to potentially offer homebuyers a below market interest rate on their home financing. These
hedging instruments and the related commitments are accounted for at fair value with gains and
losses recognized in current earnings. These gains and losses for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009 were not material.
NOTE H FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted the FASBs authoritative guidance for fair value measurements of financial
and non-financial instruments on October 1, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The guidance defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange (exit) price that would be received for an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This
standard establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to
the valuation of an asset or liability. Observable inputs are those which can be easily seen by
market participants while unobservable inputs are generally developed internally, utilizing
managements estimates and assumptions.
| Level 1 Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | ||
| Level 2 Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market. | ||
| Level 3 Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Companys own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability. |
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair
value. The Company considers the principal market and nonperformance risk associated with the
Companys counterparties when determining the fair value measurements, if applicable. Fair value
measurements are used for the Companys marketable securities, mortgage loans held for sale, IRLCs
and other derivative instruments on a recurring basis, and are used for inventories and other
mortgage loans on a non-recurring basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may not be recoverable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2010
The Companys marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, government agency
securities, corporate debt securities, foreign government securities, and certificates of deposit.
The fair value of U.S. Treasury securities is based on quoted prices for identical assets and
therefore, they have been classified as a Level 1 valuation. Obligations of government agencies,
corporate debt securities, foreign government securities and certificates of deposit are valued
using quoted market prices of recent transactions or quoted market prices of transactions in very
similar securities and therefore, are classified as Level 2 valuations.
The value of mortgage loans held for sale includes changes in estimated fair value from the
date the loan is closed until the date the loan is sold. The fair value of mortgage loans held for
sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to
sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics; therefore, they have been classified as a Level 2
valuation. After consideration of nonperformance risk, no additional adjustments have been made by
the Company to the fair value measurement of mortgage loans held for sale. Closed mortgage loans
are typically sold within 30 days of origination, limiting any nonperformance exposure period. In
addition, the Company actively monitors the financial strength of its counterparties and has
limited the number of counterparties utilized in loan sale transactions due to the current market
volatility in the mortgage and bank environment.
The hedging instruments utilized by the Company to manage its interest rate risk and hedge the
changes in the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are publicly traded derivatives with fair
value measurements based on quoted market prices. Exchange-traded derivatives are considered Level
1 valuations because quoted prices for identical assets are used for fair value measurements.
Over-the-counter derivatives, such as MBS, are classified as Level 2 valuations because quoted
prices for similar assets are used for fair value measurements. The Company mitigates exposure to
nonperformance risk associated with over-the-counter derivatives by limiting the number of
counterparties and actively monitoring their financial strength and creditworthiness while
requiring them to be well-known institutions with credit ratings equal to or better than AA- or
equivalent. Further, the Companys derivative contracts typically have short-term durations with
maturities from one to four months. Accordingly, the Companys risk of nonperformance relative to
its derivative positions is also not significant. Nonperformance risk associated with
exchange-traded derivatives is considered minimal as these items are traded on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange. After consideration of nonperformance risk, no additional adjustments have
been made to the fair value measurement of hedging instruments.
The fair values of IRLCs are also calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary
markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics; therefore, they have
been classified as Level 2 valuations. These valuations do not contain adjustments for expirations
as any expired commitments are excluded from the fair value measurement. After consideration of
nonperformance risk, no additional adjustments have been made by the Company to the fair value
measurements of IRLCs. The Company generally only issues IRLCs for products that meet specific
purchaser guidelines. Should any purchaser become insolvent, the Company would not be required to
close the transaction based on the terms of the commitment. Since not all IRLCs will become closed
loans, the Company adjusts its fair value measurements for the estimated amount of IRLCs that will
not close.
Inventory held and used is reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. The factors considered in determining fair values of the Companys communities
are described in the discussion of the Companys inventory impairment analysis (see Note C), and
are classified as Level 3 valuations. Inventory held and used measured at fair value represents
those communities for which the Company has recorded impairments during the current period.
Other mortgage loans are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a
nonrecurring basis and include performing and nonperforming mortgage loans. The fair values of
other mortgage loans are determined based on the Companys assessment of the value of the
underlying collateral and are classified as Level 3 valuations.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their

determines fair value based on quoted market prices. The aggregate fair value of these notes at
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $2,743.0 million and $3,187.6 million, respectively,
compared to carrying values of $2,514.3 million and $3,039.5 million, respectively. The aggregate
fair value of the Companys senior notes includes fair values for the 2% convertible senior notes
of $589.4 million and $568.6 million at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively,
compared to their carrying values of $379.7 million and $368.0 million, respectively. For other
secured notes and balances due under the mortgage repurchase facility, the fair values approximate
their carrying amounts due to their short maturity or floating interest rate terms, as applicable.

NOTE I INCOME TAXES
The Companys provision for and benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010 were $0.7 million and $148.6 million, respectively, compared to provisions for
income taxes of $5.6 million and $6.8 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. The
benefit from income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010 consists of a benefit of $198.8
million from a change in federal tax law which expanded the number of years the Company can carry
back net operating losses, offset by a provision for income taxes of $1.6 million for state income
taxes and an increase for unrecognized tax benefits of $48.6 million. The Company does not have
meaningful effective tax rates for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010 and the comparable
period of the prior year because of losses from operations before taxes in the prior year, the
impact of valuation allowances on its net deferred tax assets and the change in tax law in the
current year.
On November 6, 2009, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 was
enacted into law and amended Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code. This tax law change allows a
net operating loss realized in one of the Companys fiscal 2008, 2009 or 2010 years to be carried
back up to five years (previously limited to a two-year carryback). The Company has elected to
carry back its fiscal 2009 net operating loss. This resulted in a benefit from income taxes of
$198.8 million during the six-month period ended March 31, 2010.
The Company had income taxes receivable of $29.4 million and $293.1 million at March 31, 2010
and September 30, 2009, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company
received income tax refunds totaling $465.4 million which resulted from tax losses generated in
fiscal 2008 and 2009. Of this total, $352.4 million was received in the three months ended March
31, 2010. The income taxes receivable at March 31, 2010 relates to additional federal and state
income tax refunds the Company expects to receive.
At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of
$894.1 million and $1,073.9 million, respectively, offset by valuation allowances of $894.1 million
and $1,073.9 million, respectively. Tax benefits for state net operating loss carryforwards of
$81.4 million that expire (beginning at various times depending on the tax jurisdiction) from
fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2029 are included in the amounts. The Company assesses, on a quarterly basis,
the realizability of its deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance sufficient to reduce
the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. 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. Changes in existing tax laws also affect
actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (which includes interest, penalties, and the tax
benefit relating to the deductibility of interest and state income taxes) was $72.6 million and
$24.0 million as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The increase resulted from
the Companys election to carryback its fiscal 2009 net operating loss to fiscal 2004 and 2005,
thereby fully utilizing the net operating loss which existed at September 30, 2009. It is
reasonably possible that, within the next 12 months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may
decrease as much as $49.7 million as a result of a ruling request filed by the Company with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning capitalization of inventory costs. If the IRS rules
favorably on the ruling request, the Companys unrecognized tax benefits would be reduced,
resulting in a benefit from income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company
classifies interest and penalties on income taxes as income tax expense.
The Company is subject to federal income tax and to income tax in multiple states. The statute
of limitations for the Companys major tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for fiscal
years 2004 through 2010. The Company is currently being audited by various states.

NOTE J EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the numerators and denominators used in the computation of
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, options to purchase 9.7 million shares of
common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect
would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, all outstanding
stock options were excluded from the computation of the loss per share because they were
antidilutive due to the net loss recorded during the period.

NOTE K STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with
the SEC in September 2009, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from
time to time in amounts to be determined.
In November 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of
the Companys common stock. The authorization is effective from December 1, 2009 to November 30,
2010. All of the $100 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2010.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.0375 per common share, which was paid on February 25, 2010 to stockholders of record
on February 16, 2010. In April 2010, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.0375 per common share, payable on May 24, 2010 to stockholders of record on May 14, 2010.
Quarterly cash dividends of $0.0375 per common share were declared in the comparable quarters of
fiscal 2009.
In January 2010, the Companys stockholders did not approve its Section 382 rights agreement;
therefore, the rights agreement will expire by its terms on August 19, 2010 unless earlier
terminated by the Board of Directors.

NOTE L COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Warranty Claims
The Company typically provides its homebuyers with a ten-year limited warranty for major
defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems, a two-year
limited warranty on major mechanical systems, and a one-year limited warranty on other construction
components. The Companys warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in
each market in which it operates and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks
associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had liabilities of $4.1 million for the remaining repair costs
of homes in its South Florida and Louisiana markets constructed during 2005 through 2007 which
contain or are suspected to contain allegedly defective drywall manufactured in China (Chinese
Drywall) that may be responsible for accelerated corrosion of certain metals in the home. The
Company first learned of this potential issue during fiscal 2009 through customer inquiries. The
Company has identified approximately 90 homes which contain or are suspected to contain Chinese
Drywall through a review of the supply channel for its homes constructed in these markets and of
the warranty claims received in these markets as well as testing of specific homes. Through March
31, 2010, the Company has spent approximately $3.2 million to remediate these homes. The Company is
continuing its investigation to determine if there are additional homes with the Chinese Drywall in
these markets, which if found, would likely require the Company to further increase its warranty
reserve for this matter in the future. The remaining costs accrued to complete this remediation are
based on the Companys estimate of future repair costs. If the actual costs to remediate the homes
differ from the estimated costs, it may require the Company to revise its warranty estimate.
Through investigation of its supply channels in other markets, the Company has not identified
any homes suspected of containing the Chinese Drywall outside of its Florida and Louisiana markets.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits in Louisiana
and Florida pertaining to Chinese Drywall. As these actions are still in their early stages, the
Company is unable to express an opinion as to the amount of damages, if any. While the Company will
seek reimbursement for these remediation costs from various sources, it has not recorded a
receivable for potential recoveries as of March 31, 2010 given the early stage of this matter.
Changes in the Companys warranty liability during the three and six-month periods ended March
31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Insurance and Legal Claims
The Company has been named as defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions
including construction defect claims on closed homes and other claims and lawsuits incurred in the
ordinary course of business, including employment matters, personal injury claims, land development
issues, contract disputes and claims related to its mortgage activities. The Company has
established reserves for these contingencies, based on the expected costs of the claims. The
Companys estimates of such reserves are based on the facts and circumstances of individual pending
claims and historical data and trends, including costs relative to revenues, home closings and
product types, and include estimates of the costs of construction defect claims incurred but not
yet reported. These reserve estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of
individual pending claims and historical

data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves
are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs. The Companys
liabilities for these items were $546.9 million and $534.0 million at March 31, 2010 and September
30, 2009, respectively, and are included in homebuilding accrued expenses and other liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets. Related to the contingencies for construction defect
claims and estimates of construction defect claims incurred but not yet reported, and other legal
claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Company estimates and records
insurance receivables for these matters under applicable insurance policies when recovery is
probable. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its legal expenses
from its subcontractors when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance
policies. Estimates of the Companys insurance receivables related to these matters totaled $242.5
million and $234.6 million at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and are included
in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Expenses related to these items
were approximately $21.3 million and $18.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Management believes that, while the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with
certainty, the liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. To the extent
the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds managements estimates
reflected in the recorded reserves relating to these matters, the Company would incur additional
charges that could be significant.
Land and Lot Option Purchase Contracts
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase
contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. At March 31, 2010, the
Company had total deposits of $8.7 million, consisting of cash deposits of $7.0 million, promissory
notes of $1.4 million, and letters of credit and surety bonds of $0.3 million, to purchase land and
lots with a total remaining purchase price of $742.2 million. Within the land and lot option
purchase contracts at March 31, 2010, there were a limited number of contracts subject to specific
performance clauses which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land
sellers meeting their obligations. The remaining purchase price of these specific performance
contracts is not material. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to
be purchased within three years, based on the Companys assumptions as to the extent it will
exercise its options to purchase such land and lots.
Other Commitments
In the normal course of its business activities, the Company provides standby letters of
credit and surety bonds, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts. At
March 31, 2010, outstanding standby letters of credit were $47.6 million, all of which were cash
collateralized, and surety bonds were $955.3 million. The Company has secured letter of credit
agreements with three banks that require it to deposit cash, in an amount approximating the balance
of letters of credit outstanding, as collateral with the issuing banks. At March 31, 2010 and
September 30, 2009, the amount of cash restricted for this purpose totaled $48.6 million and $53.3
million, respectively, and is included in homebuilding restricted cash on the Companys
consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE N RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for accounting for transfers of
financial assets, which requires enhanced disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets,
including securitization transactions, and continuing exposure to the related risks. The guidance
eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1,
2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance; however, it is not
expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for consolidating variable interest
entities, which changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized
or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination
of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an
entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that
most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The guidance is effective for the
Company beginning October 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of
this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements, which requires additional disclosures about transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the
fair value hierarchy and disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for the Company
in the current quarter, except for the Level 3 activity disclosures, which are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to
disclosure only, will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE O SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Companys 31 homebuilding operating divisions and its financial services operation are its
operating segments. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments
and the financial services operating segment is its own reporting segment. The Companys reportable
homebuilding segments are: East, Midwest, Southeast, South Central, Southwest and West. These
reporting segments have homebuilding operations located in the following states:
East:
|
Delaware, Georgia (Savannah only), Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia | |
Midwest:
|
Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin | |
Southeast:
|
Alabama, Florida and Georgia | |
South Central:
|
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas | |
Southwest:
|
Arizona and New Mexico | |
West:
|
California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington |
Homebuilding is the Companys core business, generating 98% of consolidated revenues during
the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The Companys homebuilding segments are primarily
engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential
homes on the land, in 26 states and 71 markets in the United States. The homebuilding segments
generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, with a lesser amount from the
sale of land and lots.
The Companys financial services segment provides mortgage financing and title agency services
principally to customers of the Companys homebuilding segments. The Company generally does not
retain or service the mortgages that it originates, but, rather, seeks to sell the mortgages and
related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. The financial services segment generates its
revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and
closing services.

BUSINESS
We are one of the largest homebuilding companies in the United States, constructing and
selling single-family housing through our operating divisions in 26 states and 71 markets as of
March 31, 2010, primarily under the name of D.R. Horton, Americas Builder. Our homebuilding
operations primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices
generally ranging from $90,000 to $700,000, with an average closing price of $204,600 during the
six months ended March 31, 2010. Approximately 84% and 82% of home sales revenues were generated
from the sale of single-family detached homes in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The remainder of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of attached homes,
such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums (including some mid-rise buildings), which
share common walls and roofs.
Through our financial services operations, we provide mortgage financing and title agency
services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services principally to the purchasers of homes we build.
We generally do not retain or service the mortgages we originate but, rather, seek to sell the
mortgages and related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. DHI Mortgage originates loans in
accordance with purchaser guidelines and historically has sold substantially all of its mortgage
production within 30 days of origination. Our subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance
agents by providing title insurance policies, examination and closing services, primarily to the
purchasers of our homes.

OVERVIEW
During the slowdown in the homebuilding industry that began in 2006, the factors hurting
demand for new homes have been pervasive across the United States. These factors have been
persistent and include high inventory levels of available homes, elevated sales order cancellation
rates, low sales absorption rates and overall weak consumer confidence. The effects of these
factors have been magnified by reduced availability of credit in the mortgage markets and high
levels of home foreclosures. High levels of foreclosures not only contribute to additional
inventory available for sale, but also reduce appraisal valuations for new homes, potentially
resulting in lower sales prices. The overall economy remains weak, with a high level of
unemployment, substantially reduced consumer spending and low levels of consumer confidence. The
turmoil in the housing market has resulted in substantial price reductions in our homes during the
course of the slowdown.
Although we expect generally challenging conditions will persist for some time, recently there
has been an indication of some stabilization of housing market conditions. The factors supporting
the improved conditions include increased levels of affordability resulting from lower home sales
prices, recent declines in the number of new homes available for sale, a low mortgage interest rate
environment and the federal governments monetary and fiscal policies and programs, including the
homebuyer federal tax credit, which have encouraged home ownership and home purchases. These
stabilizing housing market conditions benefited our strategy of starting construction on more
unsold homes to continue our focus of providing affordable housing to the first-time and move-up
homebuyer through existing and new communities. These factors and actions led to an improvement in
our results over the prior year.
During the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, our net sales orders were 55% and
51% higher than the comparable periods in the prior year. As a percentage of home sales revenues,
gross profit from home sales increased 470 and 300 basis points, to 18.0% and 17.5%, respectively,
from the comparable periods in the prior year. Pre-tax income for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010 was $12.1 million and $54.8 million, respectively, compared to pre-tax losses of
$103.0 million and $164.3 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year.
Our results for the remainder of the fiscal year will be dependent on the levels of sales we
achieve in the remainder of the spring and summer selling seasons and the level of gross profit on
those home sales. Future sales and gross profit could be severely impacted by prolonged weakness in
the economy and continued high levels of unemployment, the scheduled expiration of the homebuyer
federal tax credit, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates or further tightening of
mortgage lending standards.
We remain cautious regarding our outlook for the homebuilding industry. Although the
improvements in our operating performance and recent signs of stabilization of certain market
conditions have been encouraging, the timing of a sustainable recovery remains unclear. Due to the
uncertainty surrounding market conditions, we have continued to evaluate our homebuilding and
financial services assets for recoverability. Excluding cash and marketable securities, our assets
whose recoverability is most impacted by market conditions include inventory; earnest money
deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land and lot option contracts; tax assets, both on
amounts reflected as deferred and as a receivable; and owned mortgage loans. These assets
collectively represent 90% of our total non-cash assets at March 31, 2010. Our evaluations
reflected our expectation of continued challenges in the homebuilding industry, while also
considering the improvements we achieved in our operating results during the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010. Based on our evaluations, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, we
recorded inventory impairment charges of $2.3 million and recorded additional reserves for losses
of $5.7 million associated with mortgage loans held in portfolio and the limited recourse
provisions on previously sold mortgage loans. The declines in inventory impairment charges and
write-offs of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs from prior years reflect the
improvement in gross profit from home closings experienced during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2010. We will evaluate whether further impairment charges, valuation adjustments or
write-offs are necessary on these assets in the coming quarters. Additional discussion of these
evaluations and charges is presented below.
STRATEGY
We believe the long-term fundamentals which support housing demand, namely population growth
and household formation, remain positive. In the near term, however, it is not possible to predict
if current homebuilding industry conditions will continue to stabilize or if they will deteriorate from these levels.
During the downturn we

have increased our cash balances by generating substantial cash flow from operations, primarily through reductions in inventory and mortgage loans held for sale, the receipt
of tax refunds and by accessing the capital markets. While we will continue to conservatively
manage our business, our increased liquidity provides us with flexibility in determining the
appropriate operating strategy for each of our communities and markets to strike the best balance
between cash flow generation and potential profit. With this flexibility, we are committed to
continuing the following initiatives related to our operating strategy in the current homebuilding
business environment:
| Maintaining a strong cash balance and overall liquidity position. | ||
| Managing the sales prices and level of sales incentives on our homes as necessary to optimize the balance of sales volumes, returns and cash flows. | ||
| Entering into new finished lot option contracts to purchase finished lots in an attempt to increase sales volumes and profitability. | ||
| Renegotiating existing finished lot option contracts to reduce our lot costs and better match the scheduled purchases with new home demand in the community. | ||
| Limiting land development spending or suspending development in communities that require substantial investments of time or capital resources. | ||
| Managing our inventory of homes under construction by starting construction on unsold homes to take advantage of market opportunities, while monitoring the aging of unsold homes and aggressively marketing unsold, completed homes in inventory. | ||
| Decreasing the cost of goods purchased from both vendors and subcontractors. | ||
| Modifying product offerings to provide more affordable homes. | ||
| Controlling our SG&A infrastructure to match production levels. |
These initiatives allowed us to generate significant cash flows from operations during the
downturn and achieve improved operating results during the three and six months ended March 31,
2010. Although we cannot provide any assurances that these initiatives will be successful in the
future, we expect that our operating strategy will allow us to continue to maintain a strong
balance sheet and liquidity position in fiscal 2010.

Net Sales Orders
The value of net sales orders increased 56%, to $1,317.6 million (6,438 homes) for the three
months ended March 31, 2010, from $844.5 million (4,160 homes) for the same period of 2009. The
value of net sales orders increased 54%, to $2,167.7 million (10,475 homes) for the six months
ended March 31, 2010, from $1,412.0 million (6,937 homes) for the same period of 2009. The number
of net sales orders increased 55% and 51% for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010,
respectively. These results reflect significant improvement over the prior year and suggest the
severe declines in our net sales orders experienced in recent years may be moderating. These
results were impacted by increased levels of affordability resulting from lower home sales prices,
recent declines in the number of new homes available for sale, a low mortgage interest rate
environment, and the federal governments monetary and fiscal policies and programs, including the
homebuyer federal tax credit, which may have served to accelerate sales demand. The largest
percentage increases in net sales orders during the three and six-month periods occurred in our
East, Southeast and South Central regions resulting from new communities in the Carolinas, Florida
and Texas, as well as lower cancellation rates achieved in all regions. Our sales volumes for the
remainder of fiscal 2010 will depend on the strength of the overall economy, primarily employment
levels, the impact of changes in federal government programs and policies on the homebuilding
industry and our ability to successfully implement our operating strategies in each of our markets.
In comparing the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 to the same periods of 2009,
the value of net sales orders increased significantly in all of our market regions. These increases
were due to a significant increase in the number of homes sold in all regions, and to a lesser
extent, small increases in the average selling price of those homes in most regions.
The average price of our net sales orders in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$204,700, an increase of 1% from the $203,000 average in the comparable period of 2009. The average
price of our net sales orders in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $206,900, an increase of
2% from the $203,500 average in the comparable period of 2009. We expect volatility in prices of
our net sales orders for the remainder of fiscal 2010. We will continue our efforts to offer
affordable product offerings to our target customer base and will seek to adjust our product mix,
geographic mix and pricing within our homebuilding markets to meet market conditions.
Our sales order cancellation rates (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders for
the period) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 were 21% and 23%, respectively,
compared to 30% and 33% during the same periods of 2009. While this represents a substantial
improvement from the comparable prior year periods, our ability to keep our cancellation rates near
historical levels depends largely on the strength of the overall economy, as well as the impact of
changes in federal government programs and policies on the homebuilding industry and our ability to
successfully implement operating strategies in each of our markets. We anticipate that cancellation
rates will continue to fluctuate significantly until there is a sustained recovery in market
conditions.

Sales Order Backlog
Sales order backlog represents homes under contract but not yet closed at the end of the
period. Many of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies, including
mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations.
A portion of the contracts in backlog will not result in closings due to cancellations, which
during the recent housing downturn have been substantial.

Home Sales Revenue
Revenues from home sales increased 16%, to $894.8 million (4,260 homes closed) for the three
months ended March 31, 2010, from $770.7 million (3,585 homes closed) for the comparable period of
2009. Revenues from home sales increased 21%, to $2,003.0 million (9,789 homes closed) for the six
months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,656.4 million (7,653 homes closed) for the comparable period
of 2009. The average selling price of homes closed during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$210,000, down 2% from the $215,000 average for the same period of 2009. The average selling price
of homes closed during the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $204,600, down 5% from the $216,400
average for the same period of 2009. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, home
sales revenues increased in five of our six market regions, resulting from increases in the number
of homes closed.
The number of homes closed in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 increased 19% and
28%, respectively, due to significant increases in five of our six market regions. The increase in
home closings reflects the recent stabilization of certain market conditions and the impact of the
first-time homebuyers federal tax credit which helped to stimulate demand for home closings during
our first and second quarters. Unlike the other regions, the Southwest region had a decline in
homes closed due to continued weak demand in the Phoenix market along with prior year efforts in
that market to reduce completed homes inventory. As conditions change in the housing markets in
which we operate, our ongoing level of net sales orders will determine the number of home closings
and amount of revenue we will generate.

Home Sales Gross Profit
Gross profit from home sales increased by 57%, to $161.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, from $102.8 million for the comparable period of 2009. As a percentage of home
sales revenues, gross profit from home sales increased 470 basis points, to 18.0%. Approximately
460 basis points of the increase in the home sales gross profit percentage was a result of the
average cost of our homes declining by more than our average selling prices, caused largely by a
reduction in our construction costs on homes closed during the current quarter. The reduction in
construction costs primarily results from changes in product design, as well as cost reductions
obtained from our suppliers and sub-contractors in prior periods. In addition, the increase in home
sales gross profit is partially due to our efforts over the past eighteen months to acquire lot
positions in new communities and construct and close houses from these new projects. Homes closed
on these recently acquired finished lots are yielding higher gross profits than those on land and
lots acquired in prior years. Approximately 80 basis points of the increase was due to a decrease
in the amortization of capitalized interest and property taxes as a percentage of homes sales
revenues resulting from reductions in our interest and property taxes incurred and capitalized over
the past year and more closings occurring on acquired finished lots, rather than internally
developed lots. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of 70 basis points due to the
change in estimated costs of warranty and construction defect claims as a percentage of home sales
revenue.
Gross profit from home sales increased by 46%, to $350.5 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2010, from $240.0 million for the comparable period of 2009. As a percentage of home
sales revenues, gross profit from home sales increased 300 basis points, to 17.5%. Generally, the
factors impacting gross margin for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010 were similar to those
discussed for the three-month period. Specifically, the improvement in our cost of homes as
compared to average selling price contributed 280 basis points to the increase and the decrease in
the amortization of capitalized interest and property taxes contributed 80 basis points. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of 60 basis points due to the change in estimated
costs of warranty and construction defect claims as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Future changes in gross profit percentages are impacted by the use of sales incentives and
price adjustments to generate an adequate volume of home closings and are uncertain in the current
housing market.

first half of fiscal 2009, $10.2 million related to land sale transactions in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 for which recognition of the revenue had been deferred due to the terms of the sale.
The gross profit percentage from land sales increased to 25.0% for the three months ended March 31,
2010, from 6.5% in the comparable period of the prior year, and to 22.2% for the six months ended
March 31, 2010 from 16.7% in the prior year. The fluctuations in revenues and gross profit
percentages from land sales are a function of how we manage our inventory levels in various
markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them;
however, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels which we typically
sell to commercial developers, and we also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land
and lot supply. Land and lot sales occur at unpredictable intervals and varying degrees of
profitability. Therefore, the revenues and gross profit from land sales fluctuate from period to
period. As of March 31, 2010, we had $6.0 million of land held for sale which we expect to sell in
the next twelve months.

(1) | A community may consist of land held for development, residential land and lots developed and under development, and construction in progress and finished homes. A particular community often includes inventory in more than one category. Further, a community may contain multiple parcels with varying product types (e.g. entry level and move-up single family detached, as well as attached product types). Some communities have no homes under construction, finished homes, or current home sales efforts or activity. |
Inventory Impairments and Land Option Cost Write-offs
At March 31, 2010, the assumptions utilized in our quarterly impairment evaluation reflected
the stabilizing conditions experienced in many of our markets as indicated by the improvements in
our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as well as our expectation of
continued challenging conditions in the homebuilding industry and in our markets. Our gross profit
from home sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 improved by 550 basis points and 490 basis
points compared to the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2009, respectively, which were
periods in which significant impairment charges were recorded. Additionally, during the current
year three and six-month periods, our net sales orders increased 55% and 51%, respectively, from
the same periods a year ago. These improvements in performance directly impacted the level of our
impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2010. As we continue to analyze the
strength of the economy (measured largely in terms of job growth), the homebuilding industry, and
our operating performance during fiscal 2010, which may be negatively impacted by the scheduled
expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit, the level of impairments in future quarters may
increase.

Our impairment evaluation indicated communities with a combined carrying value of $533.8
million as of March 31, 2010, had indicators of potential impairment and these communities were
evaluated for impairment. The analysis of the large majority of these communities assumed that
sales prices in future periods will be equal to or lower than current sales order prices in each
community, or in comparable communities, in order to generate an acceptable absorption rate. For a
minority of communities that we do not intend to develop or operate in current market conditions,
slight increases over current sales prices were assumed. While it is difficult to determine a
timeframe for a given community in the current market conditions, we estimated the remaining lives
of these communities to range from six months to in excess of ten years. In performing this
analysis, we utilized a range of discount rates for communities of 14% to 20%, which is consistent
with the rates used in fiscal 2009. Through this evaluation process, we determined that communities
with a carrying value of $8.5 million as of March 31, 2010, were impaired. As a result, during the
three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded impairment charges of $2.3 million to reduce the
carrying value of the impaired communities to their estimated fair value, as compared to $45.0
million in the same period of the prior year. In the three months ended March 31, 2010,
approximately 81% of the impairment charges were recorded to residential land and lots and land
held for development, and approximately 19% of the charges were recorded to construction in
progress and finished homes inventory, compared to 75% and 25%, respectively, in the same period of
2009. In the six months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 74% of the impairment charges were
recorded to residential land and lots and land held for development, and approximately 26% of the
charges were recorded to construction in progress and finished homes inventory, compared to 68% and
32%, respectively, in the same period of 2009.
Of the remaining $525.3 million carrying value of communities with impairment indicators which
were determined not to be impaired at March 31, 2010, the largest concentrations were in Illinois
(23%), California (17%), Florida (10%), Texas (9%), Arizona (9%) and Hawaii (8%). It is possible
that our estimate of undiscounted cash flows from these communities may change and could result in
a future need to record impairment charges to adjust the carrying value of these assets to their
estimated fair value. There are several factors which could lead to changes in the estimates of
undiscounted future cash flows for a given community. The most significant of these include pricing
and incentive levels actually realized by the community, the rate at which the homes are sold and
the costs incurred to construct the homes. The pricing and incentive levels are often inter-related
with sales pace within a community such that a price reduction can be expected to increase the
sales pace. Further, both of these factors are heavily influenced by the competitive pressures
facing a given community from both new homes and existing homes, which may result from
foreclosures. If conditions in the broader economy, homebuilding industry or specific markets in
which we operate worsen, which could be triggered by withdrawal of government support, and as we
re-evaluate specific community pricing and incentives, construction and development plans, and our
overall land sale strategies, we may be required to evaluate additional communities or re-evaluate
previously impaired communities for potential impairment. These evaluations may result in
additional impairment charges.
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we wrote off $0.1 million and
$3.1 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land
option contracts which are not expected to be acquired. During the six-month periods ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, we recovered $0.5 million and wrote off $4.3 million, respectively, of such
deposits and costs. At March 31, 2010, outstanding earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs
associated with our portfolio of land and lot option purchase contracts totaled $8.7 million and
$7.1 million, respectively.
In the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, inventory impairment charges and
write-offs of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs reduced total homebuilding gross
profit as a percentage of homebuilding revenues by approximately 30 basis points and 20 basis
points, respectively, compared to 620 basis points in the same periods of 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense
SG&A expense from homebuilding activities increased by 1% to $128.7 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2010, and 1% to $257.1 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from
the comparable periods of 2009. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, SG&A expense decreased
200 basis points, to 14.4% and 240 basis points, to 12.8% in the three and six-month periods ended
March 31, 2010, respectively, from 16.4% and 15.2% in the comparable periods of 2009. The largest
component of our homebuilding SG&A expense is employee compensation and related costs, which
represented 55% and 56% of SG&A costs in the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010,
respectively, and 55% in the comparable periods of fiscal 2009. These costs increased by
1%, to $70.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and decreased by less than 1%,
to $142.7 million in
-44-

the six months ended March 31, 2010, from the comparable periods of 2009. Our
homebuilding operations employed approximately 2,500 and 2,350 employees at March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Our homebuilding SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues can vary significantly between
quarters, depending largely on the fluctuations in quarterly revenue levels. We continue to adjust
our SG&A infrastructure to support our expected closings volume; however, we cannot make assurances
that our actions will permit us to maintain or improve upon the current SG&A expense as a
percentage of revenues. It has become more difficult to reduce SG&A expense as the size of our
operations has decreased. If revenues decrease and we are unable to sufficiently adjust our SG&A,
future SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues will increase.
Interest Incurred
We capitalize homebuilding interest costs to inventory during active development and
construction. Due to the decrease in the size of our operations, our inventory under active
development and construction has been lower than our debt level; therefore, a portion of our
interest incurred must be expensed. We expensed $22.7 million and $49.6 million of interest
incurred during the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, compared to $23.1 million and
$48.7 million in the same periods of 2009.
Interest amortized to cost of sales, excluding interest written off with inventory impairment
charges, was 3.5% of total home and land/lot cost of sales in both the three and six-month periods
ended March 31, 2010, compared to 4.1% in the same periods of 2009. Interest incurred is related to
the average level of our homebuilding debt outstanding during the period. Comparing the three and
six months ended March 31, 2010 with the same periods of 2009, interest incurred related to
homebuilding debt decreased 9% to $45.8 million, and 11% to $95.6 million due to decreases of 12%
in our average homebuilding debt in both periods.
Gain on Early Retirement of Debt
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, in addition to repaying maturing senior notes, we
repurchased a total of $312.6 million principal amount of various issues of our senior notes prior
to their maturity. These notes were repurchased primarily through unsolicited transactions for an
aggregate purchase price of $307.5 million, plus accrued interest. We recognized a gain of $3.6
million related to these repurchases, which represents the difference between the principal amount
of the notes and the aggregate purchase price, less any unamortized discounts and fees. Partially
offsetting this gain was a loss of $2.0 million for the call premium and write-off of unamortized
fees related to the early redemption of the 5.875% senior notes due 2013, resulting in a net gain
of $1.6 million.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, in addition to repaying maturing senior notes, we
repurchased a total of $220.5 million principal amount of various issues of our senior notes prior
to their maturity. These notes were repurchased primarily through unsolicited transactions for an
aggregate purchase price of $211.6 million, plus accrued interest. We recognized a gain of $8.4
million related to these repurchases, which represents the difference between the principal amount
of the notes and the aggregate purchase price, less any unamortized discounts and fees. During the
three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized a net gain of $2.2 million related to senior note
repurchases.
Other Income
Other income, net of other expenses, associated with homebuilding activities was $3.3 million
and $4.8 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to $2.2
million and $6.4 million in the same periods of 2009. The largest component of other income in all
four periods was interest income.

East Region Homebuilding revenues increased 28% and 47% in the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009, primarily due to increases in
the number of homes closed, with the largest increases occurring in our New Jersey and Carolina
markets. The region reported losses before income taxes of $4.3 million and $2.3 million in the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to losses of $5.8 million and $16.7 million for
the same periods of 2009. The results were due in part to inventory impairment charges and earnest
money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs totaling $1.6 million in both the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, and $1.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of
2009. The regions gross profit from home sales as a percentage of home sales revenue (home sales
gross profit percentage) increased 50 basis points and 210 basis points in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009. These increases were a
result of a slight increase in the average selling prices of our homes during the three-month
period combined with a reduction in the construction costs of these homes. In the current year
three and six-month periods, the reduction in the regions SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding
revenues contributed 180 basis points and 450 basis points, respectively, to the regions
improvement in losses before income taxes as a percentage of homebuilding revenues, as our
additional closing volume helped leverage these SG&A expenses.

Midwest Region Homebuilding revenues increased 15% and 20% in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009, primarily due to increases
in the number of homes closed, with the largest increase occurring in our Denver market. The region
reported losses before income taxes of $4.4 million and $4.8 million in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to losses of $21.2 million and $32.8 million for the
same periods of 2009. The losses in 2009 were due in part to inventory impairment charges totaling
$9.3 million and $13.1 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The
regions home sales gross profit percentage increased 760 basis points and 730 basis points in the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009. The
increases were a result of higher margins in all of our markets, lead by the Chicago market, as
well as lower warranty costs on previously closed homes in our Denver market and the effects of
prior inventory impairments on homes closed during the current year periods. In the current year
three and six-month periods, the reduction in the regions SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding
revenues contributed 440 basis points and 420 basis points, respectively, to the regions
improvement in losses before income taxes as a percentage of homebuilding revenues.
Southeast Region Homebuilding revenues increased 21% and 22% in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009, primarily due to increases
in the number of homes closed, with the largest increases occurring in our Central Florida and
Atlanta markets. The region reported losses before income taxes of $2.8 million and $1.8 million in
the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to losses of $12.4 million
and $17.5 million for the same periods of 2009. The results were due in part to inventory
impairment charges and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs totaling $0.4 million and
$1.6 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, and $2.3 million and
$6.0 million in the comparable periods of 2009. The regions home sales gross profit percentage
increased 480 basis points and 330 basis points in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010,
respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009. The increases were a result of higher margins
on homes closed in the majority of our markets, led by the South Florida market. The increases in
homes sales gross profit percentage were a result of construction costs declining at a faster rate
than the decline in average selling price on homes closed during the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010. In addition, the increase in home sales gross profit is partially due to our
efforts over the past eighteen months to acquire lot positions in new communities and construct and
close houses from these new projects. Homes closed on these recently acquired finished lots are
yielding higher gross profits than those on land and lots acquired in prior years. In the current
year three and six-month periods, the reduction in the regions SG&A as a percentage of
homebuilding revenues contributed 180 basis points and 120 basis points, respectively, to the
regions improvement in losses before income taxes as a percentage of homebuilding revenues.
South Central Region Homebuilding revenues increased 27% and 34% in the three and six
months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable period of 2009, primarily due to
increases in the number of homes closed, with the largest increases occurring in our Austin and
Dallas/Fort Worth markets. The region reported income before income taxes of $16.2 million and
$41.6 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to $1.3
million and $13.1 million for the same periods of 2009. The improvement was due in large part to
the increase in revenue, combined with the regions home sales gross profit percentage increasing
430 basis points and 290 basis points in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010,
respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009 due to higher margins on homes closed in the
majority of our markets. These higher margins were primarily attributable to reductions in
construction costs of our homes. Additionally, a decrease in inventory impairment charges and
earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs, which were $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $4.0 million
in the same periods of 2009, contributed to the regions increase in income before income taxes.
Southwest Region Homebuilding revenues decreased 12% and 24% in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009, due to decreases in the
number of homes closed and in the average selling price of those homes. The decreases in revenues
and homes closed were due to continuing weakness in the Phoenix market. The region reported income
before income taxes of $0.3 million and $5.0 million in the three and six months ended March 31,
2010, respectively, compared to losses of $12.2 million and $9.2 million for the same periods of
2009. The losses in 2009 were due in large part to inventory impairment charges and earnest money
and pre-acquisition cost write-offs totaling $8.8 million and $10.9 million in the three and six
months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The regions home sales gross profit percentage
increased 260 basis points and 210 basis points in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010,
respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009. The increases were a result of the average cost
of our homes declining by more than the average selling prices. The primary cause of the cost
decline was a reduction in construction costs of our homes on homes closed during the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, with a lesser impact coming from the effects of
prior inventory

impairments on homes closed during the current year periods. In addition, the
increase in home sales gross profit is partially due to our recent efforts to acquire lot positions
in new communities and construct and close houses from these projects.
West Region Homebuilding revenues increased 7% and 14% in the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009, due to increases in the number
of homes closed which were partially offset by decreases in the average selling price of those
homes. The largest increases in homes closed occurred in our Seattle and Southern California
markets. The region reported income before income taxes of $6.1 million and $9.5 million in the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to losses of $40.3 million and
$85.9 million for the same periods of 2009. The losses in 2009 were due in large part to inventory
impairment charges and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs totaling $24.0 million and
$64.9 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The regions home
sales gross profit percentage increased 660 basis points and 240 basis points in the three and six
months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2009. The increases were
a result of higher margins on homes closed in the majority of our markets driven in large part by
reductions in construction costs of our homes. In the current year three and six-month periods, the
reduction in the regions SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding revenues contributed 340 basis
points and 440 basis points, respectively, to the regions improvement in income before income
taxes as a percentage of homebuilding revenues as a result of absolute reductions in SG&A expenses,
as well as the additional revenue providing more leverage against these costs.

approximately 22,000 lots (20%), with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $742.2
million, through land and lot option purchase contracts with a total of $8.7 million in earnest
money deposits. At March 31, 2010, approximately 21,000 of our owned lots were finished.
We had a total of approximately 13,900 homes in inventory, including approximately 1,200 model
homes at March 31, 2010, compared to approximately 11,600 homes in inventory, including
approximately 1,100 model homes at September 30, 2009. Of our total homes in inventory,
approximately 7,300 and 5,800 were unsold at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
At March 31, 2010, approximately 2,900 of our unsold homes were completed, of which approximately
600 homes had been completed for more than six months. At September 30, 2009, approximately 2,200
of our unsold homes were completed, of which approximately 800 homes had been completed for more
than six months.
Our current strategy is to take advantage of market opportunities by entering into new
finished lot option contracts to purchase finished lots in selected communities in an attempt to
increase sales volumes and profitability. We plan to continue to manage our inventory of homes
under construction by starting construction on unsold homes in certain markets, while monitoring
the aging of unsold homes and aggressively marketing our unsold, completed homes in inventory.

Mortgage Loan Activity
In the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, total first-lien loans originated or
brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased by 6% and 18%, respectively. The percentage
increases in loans originated was lower than the percentage increases in the number of homes closed
by our homebuilding operations during the same periods due to decreases in our mortgage capture
rate (the percentage of total home closings by our homebuilding operations for which DHI Mortgage
handled the homebuyers financing).
Home closings from our homebuilding operations constituted 92% and 91% of DHI Mortgage loan
originations in the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to 76%
and 82% in the comparable periods of 2009. These consistently high rates reflect DHI Mortgages
continued focus on supporting the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations. The
relatively lower captive percentages in the prior year periods were reflective of increased
refinancing activity as existing homeowners took advantage of the decline in mortgage interest
rates.
The number of loans sold to third-party purchasers decreased by 26% and 8% in the three and
six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2009. Loans are
typically sold within 30 days of origination. Fluctuations in the volume of loans sold for a given
period may not correspond to the change in loan origination volume because of the timing of loan
sales, which for any quarter generally represents the loans originated in the last month of the
prior quarter plus the first two months of the current quarter. Virtually all of the mortgage loans
originated during the six months ended March 31, 2010 and mortgage loans held for sale on March 31,
2010 were eligible for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
Financial Services Revenues and Expenses
Loan origination fees decreased 5% and 16%, to $3.6 million and $8.2 million in the three and
six months ended March 31, 2010, from $3.8 million and $9.8 million in the comparable periods of
2009. The decrease in loan origination fees during the six-month period relates to the adoption of
the FASBs authoritative guidance for fair value measurements of certain financial instruments on
October 1, 2008. The authoritative guidance required net origination costs and fees associated with
mortgage loans to be recognized at origination and no longer deferred until the time of sale.
Therefore, during the three months ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $2.4 million of loan
origination fees and $5.0 million of general and administrative (G&A) costs related to prior period
loan originations. Revenues from the sale of servicing rights and gains from sale of mortgages
increased 7% and 19%, to $13.0 million and $27.6 million in the three and six months ended March
31, 2010, from $12.2 million and $23.1 million in the comparable periods of 2009. Although the
volume of loans sold decreased in the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 compared to
the prior year periods, revenues from the sale of servicing rights and gains from sale of mortgages
increased due to the fair value adjustments on our written loan commitments and an increase in
pricing on our loan sales from the prior year period. Charges related to recourse obligations were
$5.7 million and $8.6 million in the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010,
respectively, compared to $16.1 million and $19.7 million in the same periods of 2009. The
calculation of our required repurchase loss reserve is based upon an analysis of repurchase
requests received, our actual repurchases and losses through the disposition of such loans,
discussions with our mortgage purchasers and analysis of the mortgages we originated. While we
believe that we have adequately reserved for losses on known and projected repurchase requests, if
actual repurchases or if the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed our expectations,
additional recourse expense may be incurred. Also, a subsidiary of ours reinsured a portion of
private mortgage insurance written on loans originated by DHI Mortgage in prior years. Charges to
increase reserves for expected losses on the reinsured loans were $0 and $0.8 million in the three
and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, compared to $3.1 million and $5.7 million in the same
periods of 2009.
G&A expense associated with financial services increased 1% and decreased 11%, to $17.4
million and $36.0 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, from the
comparable periods of 2009. The largest component of our financial services G&A expense is employee
compensation and related costs, which represented 78% and 77% of G&A costs in the three and
six-month periods of fiscal 2010, respectively, compared to 72% and 75% in the same periods of
fiscal 2009. These costs increased 10%, to $13.6 million and decreased 8%, to $27.9 million in the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the respective prior year
periods. The increase in the current quarter was due to the increase in financial services
employees to 650 at March 31, 2010, from 550 at March 31, 2009. The decrease in the six-month
period was due to the $5.0 million of
- 51 -
Table of Contents
compensation expense related to prior period loan originations recognized during the three
months ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the adoption of the FASBs authoritative guidance for
fair value measurements of certain financial instruments. The decrease was partially offset by the
increase in financial services employees.
As a percentage of financial services revenues, excluding the effects of recourse and
reinsurance expense, G&A expense in the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 decreased
to 77.7% and 73.0%, respectively, from 78.5% and 88.2% in the comparable periods of 2009. The
decrease in the six-month period was primarily due to the recognition of $5.0 million of G&A costs
related to prior period loan originations during the three months ended December 31, 2008 as a
result of the adoption of the FASBs authoritative guidance for fair value measurements of certain
financial instruments. Fluctuations in financial services G&A expense as a percentage of revenues
can be expected to occur as some expenses are not directly related to mortgage loan volume or to
changes in the amount of revenue earned.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED
Income (Loss) before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $12.1 million,
compared to a loss before income taxes of $103.0 million for the same period of 2009. Income before
income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $54.8 million, compared to a loss before
income taxes of $164.3 million for the same period of 2009. The difference in our operating results
for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a year ago is primarily due to the
higher volume of homes closed which resulted in higher revenues, a higher gross profit from home
sales revenues and lower inventory impairment charges.
Income Taxes
The provision for and benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended March 31,
2010 was $0.7 million and $148.6 million, respectively, compared to a provision for income taxes of
$5.6 million and $6.8 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. The benefit from income
taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010 consists of a benefit of $198.8 million from a change
in federal tax law which expanded the number of years we can carry back net operating losses,
offset by a provision for income taxes of $1.6 million for state income taxes and an increase for
unrecognized tax benefits of $48.6 million. We do not have meaningful effective tax rates for the
six-month period ended March 31, 2010 and the comparable period of the prior year because of losses
from operations before taxes in the prior year, the impact of valuation allowances on our net
deferred tax assets and the change in tax law in the current year.
On November 6, 2009, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 was
enacted into law and amended Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code. This tax law change allows a
net operating loss realized in one of our fiscal 2008, 2009 or 2010 years to be carried back up to
five years (previously limited to a two-year carryback). We have elected to carry back our fiscal
2009 net operating loss. This resulted in a benefit from income taxes of $198.8 million during the
six-month period ended March 31, 2010.
We had income taxes receivable of $29.4 million and $293.1 million at March 31, 2010 and
September 30, 2009, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, we received income
tax refunds totaling $465.4 million which resulted from tax losses generated in fiscal 2008 and
2009. Of this total, $352.4 million was received in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
income taxes receivable at March 31, 2010 relate to additional federal and state income tax refunds
we expect to receive.
At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, we had net deferred income tax assets of $894.1
million and $1,073.9 million, respectively, offset by valuation allowances of $894.1 million and
$1,073.9 million, respectively. Tax benefits for state net operating loss carryforwards of $81.4
million that expire (beginning at various times depending on the tax jurisdiction) from fiscal 2013
to fiscal 2029 are included in the amounts. We assess, on a quarterly basis, the realizability of
our deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance sufficient to reduce the deferred tax
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. 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 our consolidated results
of operations or financial position. Changes in existing tax laws also affect actual tax results
and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time.
- 52 -
Table of Contents
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (which includes interest, penalties, and the tax
benefit relating to the deductibility of interest and state income taxes) was $72.6 million and
$24.0 million as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The increase resulted from
our election to carryback our fiscal 2009 net operating loss to fiscal 2004 and 2005, thereby fully
utilizing the net operating loss which existed at September 30, 2009. It is reasonably possible
that, within the next 12 months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease as much as
$49.7 million as a result of a ruling request filed by us with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
concerning capitalization of inventory costs. If the IRS rules favorably on the ruling request, our
unrecognized tax benefits would be reduced, resulting in a benefit from income taxes in our
consolidated statement of operations. We classify interest and penalties on income taxes as income
tax expense.
We are subject to federal income tax and to income tax in multiple states. The statute of
limitations for our major tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for fiscal years 2004
through 2010. We are currently being audited by various states.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
We have historically funded our homebuilding and financial services operations with cash flows
from operating activities, borrowings under our bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt
securities. In light of the challenging homebuilding market conditions experienced over the past
few years, we have been operating with a primary focus to generate cash flows through reductions in
assets and tax refunds. The generation of cash flow has allowed us to increase our liquidity and
strengthen our balance sheet and has placed us in a position to be able to invest in market
opportunities as they arise. We do not expect to generate as much cash from asset reductions in
fiscal 2010 as we have in the past three fiscal years. Depending upon future homebuilding market
conditions and our expectations for these conditions, we may use a portion of our cash balances to
increase our assets. We intend to maintain adequate liquidity and balance sheet strength, and we
will continue to evaluate opportunities to access the capital markets as they become available.
At March 31, 2010, our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital was 22.2%, compared to
34.2% at March 31, 2009 and 32.5% at September 30, 2009. Net homebuilding debt to total capital
consists of homebuilding notes payable net of cash and marketable securities divided by total
capital net of cash and marketable securities (homebuilding notes payable net of cash and
marketable securities plus stockholders equity). The decrease in our ratio of net homebuilding
debt to total capital at March 31, 2010 as compared to the ratio a year earlier was primarily due
to our higher cash and marketable securities balances at March 31, 2010, as well as our lower debt
balance, which resulted from redemptions and repurchases of senior
notes, and to a lesser extent, the issuance of our convertible senior
notes in May 2009. As compared to the ratio
at September 30, 2009, the decrease in our ratio was primarily due to our lower debt balance at
March 31, 2010, collection of income tax receivables and net
income for the period. Our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital remains well within our target
operating range of below 45%. We believe that our strong balance sheet and liquidity position will
allow us to be flexible in reacting to changing market conditions. However, future period-end net
homebuilding debt to total capital ratios may be higher than the 22.2% ratio achieved at March 31,
2010.
We believe that the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding
the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing us with other homebuilders. We
exclude the debt of our financial services business because it is separately capitalized and its
obligation under its repurchase agreement is substantially collateralized and not guaranteed by our
parent company or any of our homebuilding entities. Because of its capital function, we include
homebuilding cash and marketable securities as a reduction of our homebuilding debt and total
capital. For comparison to our ratios of net homebuilding debt to capital above, at March 31, 2010
and 2009, and at September 30, 2009, our ratios of homebuilding debt to total capital, without
netting cash and marketable securities balances, were 49.6%, 51.9% and 56.2%, respectively.
We believe that we will be able to fund our working capital needs for our homebuilding and
financial services operations, as well as our debt obligations, through existing cash resources and
the cash flows we currently expect to generate in the near term, our mortgage repurchase facility
and, for the longer term, the issuance of new debt or equity securities through the public capital
markets as market conditions may permit.
Homebuilding Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents At March 31, 2010, we had available homebuilding cash and cash
equivalents of $1.6 billion.
- 53 -
Table of Contents
Marketable Securities At March 31, 2010, we had marketable securities of $198.7 million.
Our marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, government agency securities,
foreign government securities, corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit.
Secured Letter of Credit Agreements Concurrent with the termination of our revolving credit
facility in May 2009, we entered into secured letter of credit agreements with the three banks that
had issued letters of credit under the facility. The effect of these agreements was to remove the
outstanding letters of credit from the facility, which required us to deposit cash, in an amount
approximating the balance of letters of credit outstanding, as collateral with the issuing banks.
At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the amount of cash restricted for this purpose totaled
$48.6 million and $53.3 million, respectively, and is included in homebuilding restricted cash on
our consolidated balance sheets.
Public Unsecured Debt The indentures governing our senior notes and senior subordinated
notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2010, we were in
compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions that form a part of the public debt
obligations.
Shelf Registration Statements We have an automatically effective universal shelf
registration statement filed with the SEC in September 2009, registering debt and equity securities
which we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.
Financial Services Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents At March 31, 2010, the amount of financial services cash and cash
equivalents was $26.8 million.
Mortgage Repurchase Facility Our mortgage subsidiary entered into a mortgage sale and
repurchase agreement (the mortgage repurchase facility) on March 28, 2008. The mortgage
repurchase facility, which is accounted for as a secured financing, provides financing and
liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers
eligible loans to the counterparty against the transfer of funds by the counterparty, thereby
becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the
purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within
specified time frames from 45 to 120 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase
facility. On March 4, 2010, through an amendment to the repurchase agreement, the capacity of the
facility was increased from $100 million to $150 million, with a provision allowing an increase in
the capacity to $175 million during the last five business days of a fiscal quarter and the first
seven business days of the following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the amendment extended the
maturity date of the facility to March 4, 2011.
As of March 31, 2010, $225.2 million of mortgage loans held for sale were pledged under the
repurchase arrangement. These mortgage loans had a collateral value of $209.3 million. DHI Mortgage
has the option to fund a portion of its repurchase obligations in advance. As a result of advance
paydowns totaling $131.6 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $77.7 million outstanding under
the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2010 at a 3.8% interest rate.
The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by either D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the
subsidiaries that guarantee our homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to
the mortgage subsidiarys minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt
to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported
monthly. At March 31, 2010, our mortgage subsidiary was in compliance with all of the conditions
and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.
In the past, we have been able to renew or extend our mortgage credit facilities on
satisfactory terms prior to their maturities, and obtain temporary additional commitments through
amendments to the credit agreements during periods of higher than normal volumes of mortgages held
for sale. The liquidity of our financial services business depends upon its continued ability to
renew and extend the mortgage repurchase facility or to obtain other additional financing in
sufficient capacities.

Operating Cash Flow Activities
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by our operating activities was
$427.8 million compared to $977.9 million during the comparable period of the prior year. During
the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, a significant portion of the net cash provided by our
operating activities was due to federal income tax refunds. Also, contributing to operating cash
flows was the profit we generated during the current period. The net cash provided by our operating
activities during the past three fiscal years has resulted in substantial liquidity and allows the
flexibility to determine the appropriate operating strategy for each of our communities and to take
advantage of opportunities in the market. While we have substantially slowed our purchases of
undeveloped land and our development spending on land we own, we are purchasing or contracting to
purchase finished lots in many markets in an attempt to improve sales and home closing volumes and
return to sustainable profitability. In line with our operating tactics, we used cash in our
operations to increase our number of homes under construction. During this effort, we plan to
continue to manage our inventories by monitoring the aging of unsold homes and aggressively
marketing our unsold, completed homes in inventory. As we work towards these goals, we expect to
generate less cash flow from asset reductions than we have over the past three fiscal years.
Depending upon future homebuilding market conditions and our expectations for these conditions, we
may use a portion of our cash balances to increase our inventories.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, net cash used in our investing activities was $201.9
million. Of this amount, $199.1 million was used to purchase marketable securities during the
current quarter. Additionally, we used $7.7 million to invest in purchases of property and
equipment, primarily model home furniture and office equipment. These purchases are not significant
relative to our total assets or cash flows, and have declined in recent years due to the decrease
in the size of our operations. Changes in restricted cash are primarily due to fluctuations in the
balance of our outstanding letters of credit, which are cash collateralized under the terms of our
secured letter of credit agreements.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
During the last two years, the majority of our short-term financing needs have been funded
with cash generated from operations and borrowings available under our financial services credit
facility. Long-term financing needs of our homebuilding operations have generally been funded with
the issuance of new senior unsecured debt securities through the public capital markets. During the
six months ended March 31, 2010, we repaid, through maturities, redemptions and repurchases, a
total of $538.5 million principal amount of various issues of senior notes for an aggregate
purchase price of $535.2 million, plus accrued interest. During the six months ended March 31,
2009, we repaid, through redemptions and repurchases, a total of $673.4 million principal amount of
various issues of senior notes for an aggregate purchase price of $664.6 million, plus accrued
interest. Our homebuilding senior, convertible senior and senior subordinated notes are guaranteed
by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our financial services
subsidiaries and certain insignificant subsidiaries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.0375 per common share, which was paid on February 25, 2010 to stockholders of record
on February 16, 2010. In April 2010, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.0375 per common share, payable on May 24, 2010 to stockholders of record on May 14, 2010.
Quarterly cash dividends of $0.0375 per common share were declared in the comparable quarters of
fiscal 2009. The declaration of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of
Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, cash flows, capital
requirements, our financial condition and general business conditions.
Changes in Capital Structure
On October 1, 2009, we adopted and applied retrospectively the FASBs authoritative guidance
for accounting for debt with conversion options, which specifies that issuers of such instruments
should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the
entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods.
Early adoption of this authoritative guidance was not permitted. As a result, the prior year
consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for the effects of this change
in accounting for our 2% convertible senior notes issued in May 2009. We recorded the debt
component of
the convertible senior notes at its fair value on the date of issuance of the notes, assuming
no conversion features.
- 55 -
Table of Contents
The remaining value of the equity component of the convertible senior notes
was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the notes and an increase in additional
paid-in capital. The reduction in the carrying value of the notes and the fees related to the notes
will be amortized as interest incurred and expensed or capitalized to inventory over the remaining
life of the notes. The additional interest expense recognized in fiscal 2009 due to the restatement
was $4.5 million, which increased our diluted net loss per share for the year ended September 30,
2009 by $0.01.
In November 2009, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of
our common stock and the repurchase of up to $500 million of debt securities. The authorizations
are effective from December 1, 2009 to November 30, 2010. Repurchases of senior notes through March
31, 2010 reduced the debt repurchase authorization to $154.0 million. In April 2010, our Board
of Directors increased the debt repurchase authorization to $500 million, effective from April 29,
2010 to November 30, 2010.
On January 15, 2010, we repaid the remaining $130.9 million principal amount of our 4.875%
senior notes which were due on that date. On February 24, 2010, we redeemed the remaining $95.0
million principal amount of our 5.875% senior notes due 2013. During the six months ended March 31,
2010, primarily through unsolicited transactions, we repurchased a total of $312.6 million
principal amount of various issues of senior notes for an aggregate purchase price of $307.5
million, plus accrued interest. These repayments of public unsecured debt were made from our cash
balance on hand.
In January 2010, our stockholders did not approve our Section 382 rights agreement; therefore,
it will expire by its terms on August 19, 2010 unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors.
In fiscal 2009, our primary non-operating uses of our available capital were the repayment of
debt, dividend payments and the cash collateralization of our outstanding letters of credit. As was
the case in the current quarter, we expect the repayment of debt to remain a significant priority
for the use of our available cash in fiscal 2010. We continue to evaluate our alternatives for
future non-operating sources and uses of our available capital, including the amounts of debt
repayments, dividend payments and the level of our cash balances, based on market conditions and
other circumstances, and within the constraints of our balance sheet leverage targets and our
liquidity targets.
CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS, COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Our primary contractual cash obligations for our homebuilding and financial services segments
are payments under our debt agreements and lease payments under operating leases. Purchase
obligations of our homebuilding segment represent specific performance requirements under lot
option purchase agreements that may require us to purchase land contingent upon the land seller
meeting certain obligations. We expect to fund our contractual obligations in the ordinary course
of business through a combination of our existing cash resources, cash flows generated from
operations, renewed or amended mortgage repurchase facilities and, if needed or believed
advantageous, the issuance of new debt or equity securities through the public capital markets as
market conditions may permit.
At March 31, 2010, our homebuilding operations had outstanding letters of credit of $47.6
million, all of which were cash collateralized, and surety bonds of $955.3 million, issued by third
parties, to secure performance under various contracts. We expect that our performance obligations
secured by these letters of credit and bonds will generally be completed in the ordinary course of
business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. When we complete our performance
obligations, the related letters of credit and bonds are generally released shortly thereafter,
leaving us with no continuing obligations. We have no material third-party guarantees.
Our mortgage subsidiary enters into various commitments related to the lending activities of
our mortgage operations. Further discussion of these commitments is provided in Item 3
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk under Part I of this quarterly report
on Form 10-Q.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option purchase contracts to
procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Lot option contracts enable us to control
significant lot positions with limited capital investment and substantially reduce the risks
associated with land ownership and development. Within the land and lot option purchase contracts
at March 31, 2010, there were a limited number of contracts subject to specific performance clauses
which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their
obligations. The remaining purchase price of these specific performance contracts is not
material. Also, we
- 56 -
Table of Contents
consolidated certain variable interest entities for which we are deemed to be
the primary beneficiary, with assets of $7.1 million related to some of our outstanding land and
lot option purchase contracts. Creditors, if any, of these variable interest entities have no
recourse against us. Further discussion of our land option contracts is provided in the Land and
Lot Position and Homes in Inventory section included herein.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2010, which updated our
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, our most critical
accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, land and lot
option purchase contracts, goodwill, warranty and insurance claim costs, income taxes and
stock-based compensation. Since September 30, 2009, there have been no significant changes to those
critical accounting policies and estimates.
SEASONALITY
We have typically experienced seasonal variations in our quarterly operating results and
capital requirements. Prior to the current downturn in the homebuilding industry, we generally had
more homes under construction, closed more homes and had greater revenues and operating income in
the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. This seasonal activity increased our working
capital requirements for our homebuilding operations during the third and fourth fiscal quarters
and increased our funding requirements for the mortgages we originated in our financial services
segment at the end of these quarters. As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of
operations and our financial position at the end of a particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily
representative of the balance of our fiscal year.
In contrast to our typical seasonal results, the weakness in homebuilding market conditions
during the past three years has mitigated our historical seasonal variations. Also, in fiscal 2010
we expect the scheduled expiration of the homebuyer federal tax credit to impact our construction
activities and home sales and closing volumes and timing. Specifically, in fiscal 2010, we expect
our closings volumes and profitability to be highest in our first and third fiscal quarters.
Although we may experience our typical historical seasonal pattern in the future, given the current
market conditions and the impact of changes in federal government programs and policies on the
homebuilding industry, we can make no assurances as to when or whether this pattern will recur.

and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained in Item 1A. Risk Factors under
Part II of this report, our current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2010, and our annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, which were filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes
in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in
interest rates generally affect the value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash
flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the
fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. We generally
do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest
rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related
to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such
debt.
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with our mortgage loan origination services.
We manage interest rate risk through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS),
Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) and put options on MBS and EDFC. Use of the term hedging
instruments in the following discussion refers to these securities collectively, or in any
combination. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan
funding and who meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs have a duration
of less than six months. Some IRLCs are committed immediately to a specific purchaser through the
use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, while other IRLCs are funded prior to being
committed to third-party purchasers. The hedging instruments related to IRLCs are classified and
accounted for as derivative instruments in an economic hedge, with gains and losses recognized in
current earnings. Hedging instruments related to funded, uncommitted loans are accounted for at
fair value, with changes recognized in current earnings, along with changes in the fair value of
the funded, uncommitted loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally
offsets the fair value change in the uncommitted loans and the fair value change, which for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was not significant, is recognized in current
earnings. At March 31, 2010, hedging instruments used
to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and
uncommitted IRLCs totaled $337.8 million. Uncommitted IRLCs, the duration of which are generally
less than six months, totaled
- 58 -
Table of Contents
approximately $233.4 million, and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled
approximately $131.4 million at March 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2010, we had $10.3 million in MBS which were acquired as part of a program to
potentially offer homebuyers a below market interest rate on their home financing. These hedging
instruments and the related commitments are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses
recognized in current earnings. These gains and losses for the three and six months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 were not material.
The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average
interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2010. The interest
rate for our variable rate debt represents the interest rate on our mortgage repurchase facility.
Because the mortgage repurchase facility is effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for
sale which are typically sold within 60 days, its outstanding balance is included as a variable
rate maturity in the most current period presented.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the
supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed in the reports the Company files, furnishes, submits or otherwise provides the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that information
required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, in such a manner as to allow
timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in lawsuits and other contingencies in the ordinary course of business. While
the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the
liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability
arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds our estimates reflected in the recorded
reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.
On March 24, 2008, a putative class action, James Wilson, et al. v. D.R. Horton, Inc., et al.,
was filed by five customers of Western Pacific Housing, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries,
against us, Western Pacific Housing, Inc., and our affiliated mortgage company subsidiary, in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint sought
certification of a class alleged to include persons who, within the four years preceding the filing
of the suit, purchased a home from us, or any of our subsidiaries, and obtained a mortgage for such
purchase from our affiliated mortgage company subsidiary. The complaint alleged that we violated
Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and Sections 16720, 17200 and 17500 of the California
Business and Professions Code by effectively requiring our homebuyers to apply for a loan through
our affiliated mortgage company. In June 2009 the complaint was amended to limit the putative class
to California customers only and the claims asserted were limited to alleged violations of the
California Business and Professions Code. The complaint alleged that the homebuyers were either
deceived about loan costs charged by our affiliated mortgage company or coerced into using our
affiliated mortgage company, or both, and that discounts and incentives offered by us or our
subsidiaries to buyers who obtained financing from our affiliated mortgage company were illusory.
The action sought treble damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. We believed the
claims alleged in this action were without merit. In January 2010, the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss
their lawsuit in exchange for a waiver of costs. On April 8, 2010, the lawsuit was dismissed with
prejudice by the court.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors previously identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2009, we are updating the following risk factor related to the
utilization of our tax losses as affected by our stockholders non-approval of the Section 382
rights agreement.
The utilization of our tax losses could be substantially limited if we experienced an ownership
change as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
We
will likely experience tax net operating losses through fiscal 2010 and have potential unrealized
built-in losses. To the extent these losses are not carried back to prior periods, they have the
potential to reduce future income tax obligations if we realize taxable income in the future.
However, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code contains rules that limit the ability of a
company that undergoes an ownership change to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and
certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. Under the rules, such an
ownership change is generally any change in ownership of more than 50% of its stock within a
rolling three-year period, as calculated in accordance with the rules. The rules generally operate
by focusing on changes in ownership among stockholders considered by the rules as owning directly
or indirectly 5% or more of the stock of the company and any change in ownership arising from new
issuances of stock by the company.
If we undergo an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 as a result of future
transactions involving our common stock, our ability to use any of our net operating loss
carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards or net unrealized built-in
losses at the time of ownership
change would be subject to the limitations of Section 382 on their use against future taxable
income. The limitation may affect the amount of our deferred income tax asset and, depending on the
limitation, a portion of our built-in losses, any net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit
carryforwards could expire before we would be able to use them. This could adversely affect our
financial position, results of operations and cash flow.
We believe that we have not experienced such an ownership change as of March 31, 2010;
however, the amount by which our ownership may change in the future could be affected by purchases
and sales of stock by 5% stockholders and the conversion of our outstanding convertible senior
notes, over which we have no control, and
new issuances of stock by us, should we choose to do so. In August 2009, our Board of
Directors adopted a Section
-60-
Table of Contents
382 rights agreement as a measure intended to deter such an ownership
change while in effect in order to preserve these tax attributes. The Section 382 rights agreement,
however, may not prevent an ownership change. While the Section 382 rights agreement is in effect,
it could discourage or prevent a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or accumulations of
substantial blocks of shares for which some stockholders might receive a premium above market
value. It could also adversely affect the liquidity of the market for our shares. In January 2010,
our stockholders did not approve our Section 382 rights agreement when it was submitted to them at
our annual meeting of stockholders; therefore, it will expire by its terms on August 19, 2010
unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
