NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2015 Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which makes a number of changes to the current GAAP model, including changes to the accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption of this particular guidance from ASU 2016-01 is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact the pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets - referred to as “lessees” - to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. In addition, disclosures of leasing activities are to be expanded to include qualitative along with specific quantitative information. For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-02

mandates a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (“ASU 2016-06”), which requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met. One of those criteria is that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract (the “clearly and closely related” criterion). The amendments in this Update clarify what steps are required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they eliminate diversity in practice in assessing embedded contingent call (put) options in debt instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 does not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09. The amendments in this ASU are instead intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. ASU 2016-08 will have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue standard issued in ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of this ASU and ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 2. Inventory and Capitalized Interest

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the land is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

A summary of the Company’s inventory as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:



(In thousands)	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Single-family lots, land and land development costs	$	596,072	$	584,542
Land held for sale	13,801		12,630
Homes under construction	439,328		420,206
Model homes and furnishings - at cost (less accumulated depreciation: March 31, 2016 - $9,432; December 31, 2015 - $8,296)	69,243		63,929
Community development district infrastructure	832		1,018
Land purchase deposits	29,340		23,710
Consolidated inventory not owned	4,921		6,007
Total inventory	$	1,153,537	$	1,112,042

Single-family lots, land and land development costs include raw land that the Company has purchased to develop into lots, costs incurred to develop the raw land into lots, and lots for which development has been completed, but which have not yet been used to start construction of a home.

Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had 801 homes (with a carrying value of $152.6 million) and 872 homes (with a carrying value of $184.3 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.

Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, typically three years.

Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. In the period during which the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement, the Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreement.

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction. Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party. The summary of capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016			2015
Capitalized interest, beginning of period	$	16,740		$	15,296
Interest capitalized to inventory	3,756			3,785
Capitalized interest charged to land and housing costs and expenses	(3,544		)	(3,539		)
Capitalized interest, end of period	$	16,952		$	15,542

Interest incurred	$	9,021		$	8,247

NOTE 3. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016, we decreased our total investment in such joint venture arrangements by $11.3 million from $37.0 million at December 31, 2015 to $25.7 million at March 31, 2016, which was driven primarily by our increased lot distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $14.4 million, offset, in part, by our increased cash contributions to our unconsolidated joint ventures during the first quarter of 2016 of $2.8 million.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the unconsolidated joint ventures’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our statement of income. The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.

For joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity is established to own the property, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. The Company’s ownership in these LLCs as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ranged from 25% to 74%. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC.

We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2016 is the amount invested of $25.7 million, which is reported as Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, in addition to a $1.5 million note due to the Company from one of the unconsolidated joint ventures (reported in Other Assets), although we expect to invest further amounts in these unconsolidated joint ventures as development of the properties progresses. Included in the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of capitalized interest and other costs.

Variable Interest Entities

With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have determined that one of the LLCs in which we have an interest meets the requirements of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) due to a lack of equity at risk in the entity. However, we have determined that we do not have substantive control over that VIE as we do not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. As a result, we are not required to consolidate the VIE into our financial statements, and we instead record the VIE in Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Land Option Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing under land option or purchase agreements.

NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements

There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics. To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount. The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis, and receives servicing compensation. Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value

of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.

The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date. The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain home-buying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to twelve months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination. During the intervening period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a best-efforts contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.

The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption pace (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Investment In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of

the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financial Instruments

Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price).

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Commitments to Extend Real Estate Loans, Best-Efforts Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 and 2021 Senior Notes. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.

Split Dollar Life Insurance Policies and Notes Receivable. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the amounts based on the estimated timing of receipts using discount rates that incorporate management’s estimate of risk associated with the corresponding note receivable.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding Operations. The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 fluctuated with the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate for the Company’s $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility dated July 18, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.

Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC (“M/I Financial”) is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $110 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated March 29, 2013, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (2) a $15 million mortgage repurchase agreement, as amended and restated on November 3, 2015, as further

amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the first quarter of 2016 fluctuated with LIBOR. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.

Letters of Credit. Letters of credit of $41.6 million and $42.5 million represent potential commitments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The letters of credit generally expire within one or two years. The estimated fair value of letters of credit was determined using fees currently charged for similar agreements.

NOTE 5. Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that guarantee certain purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $22.4 million and $12.2 million were covered under these guarantees as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2015 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms. A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at March 31, 2016, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.

M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.

M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total of all loans indemnified to third party insurers relating to the above agreements was $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.

The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $1.1 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability.

NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty

We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home closed. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”), and our 30-year (offered on all homes sold after April 25, 1998 and on or before December 1, 2015 in all of our markets except our Texas markets), 15-year (offered on all homes sold after December 1, 2015 in all of our markets except our Texas markets) or 10-year (offered on all homes sold in our Texas markets) transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.

Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house closes, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is re-evaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.

While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.

A summary of warranty activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016			2015
Warranty reserves, beginning of period	$	14,282		$	12,671
Warranty expense on homes delivered during the period	2,039			1,539
Changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties	2,838			263
Settlements made during the period	(3,864		)	(2,922		)
Warranty reserves, end of period	$	15,295		$	11,551

In the ordinary course of business, we have received claims from homeowners in our Florida communities (and been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners) related to stucco installation primarily on homes in our Tampa communities with second story elevations built prior to 2014. Through 2015, we made repairs on certain of the affected homes and accrued for the estimated future cost of repairs for the other homes (as reflected in our warranty reserves). The aggregate amounts of such repair costs and accruals were not material, and the reserve for identified homes in need of more than minor repair at December 31, 2015 was $0.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2016, the number of stucco related claims in our Florida communities increased. As a result, we recorded an additional accrual of $2.2 million as a change in estimate to our warranty reserves (which change is reflected in “Changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties” in the above table) for homes in our Florida communities that we have identified as requiring more than minor stucco repairs. At March 31, 2016, the remaining reserve was $1.8 million, covering the estimated repair costs for the approximately 138 homes that we have identified as requiring more than minor stucco repairs but have not yet completed.

Because our assessment of the stucco issue is ongoing, we are uncertain at this time regarding: (a) the number of similarly affected homes that may require stucco repairs in the future; (b) the cost to repair those homes; (c) the extent to which we may be able to recover a portion of our repair costs from subcontractors and insurers; and (d) the ultimate amount of our liability. As we obtain additional information, we may revise our warranty reserves for stucco repairs.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding approximately $129.9 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through November 2023. Included in this total are: (1) $81.0 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $33.5 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.1 million of financial letters of credit, of which $6.3 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $7.2 million of financial bonds.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts

At March 31, 2016, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $525.5 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.

Legal Matters

In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company

has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $0.4 million and $0.6 million reserved for legal expenses, respectively.

NOTE 7. Debt

Notes Payable - Homebuilding

The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $400 million, including a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on October 20, 2018. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at either the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 150 basis points, or at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 250 basis points, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company's leverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2016, borrowing availability under the Credit Facility in accordance with the borrowing base calculation was $479.0 million and, as a result, the full amount of the $400 million facility was available. At March 31, 2016, there were $114.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $39.6 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving net remaining borrowing availability of $245.9 million.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indenture for the Company’s $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). The guarantors for the Credit Facility (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2021 Senior Notes, the Company’s $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”) and the $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”).

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

The Company is party to three secured credit agreements for the issuance of letters of credit outside of the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Facilities”), with maturity dates ranging from August 31, 2016 to June 1, 2017. The agreements governing the Letter of Credit Facilities contain limits for the issuance of letters of credit ranging from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, for a combined letter of credit capacity of $12.0 million, of which $4.9 million was uncommitted at March 31, 2016 and could be withdrawn at any time. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was $2.0 million and $2.7 million of outstanding letters of credit in aggregate under the Company’s Letter of Credit Facilities, respectively, which were collateralized with $2.1 million and $2.7 million of the Company’s cash, respectively.

Notes Payable — Financial Services

The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and provides a maximum borrowing availability of $110 million and an accordion feature which allows for an increase of the maximum borrowing availability of up to an additional $20 million (subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from existing or new lenders). In December 2015, the agreement was amended to include a “seasonal increase” provision which increased the maximum borrowing availability to $130 million through January 31, 2016. The maximum principal amount permitted to be outstanding at any one time in aggregate under all warehouse credit lines is $150 million. The agreement also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2016, M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement matures on June 24, 2016. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and (2) 2.75%.

As is typical for similar credit facilities in the mortgage origination industry, at closing, the expiration of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement was set at approximately one year and is under consideration for extension annually by the participating lenders. We expect to extend the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement on or prior to the current expiration date of June 24, 2016, but we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain such an extension.

The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and is structured as a mortgage repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing availability of $15 million and an expiration date of November 1, 2016. In December 2015, the agreement was amended to include a “seasonal increase” provision which increased the maximum borrowing availability to $20 million through January 31, 2016. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 or 275 basis points depending on the loan type.

At March 31, 2016, M/I Financial’s total combined maximum borrowing availability under the two credit facilities was $125.0 million, a decrease from $150.0 million from December 31, 2015 due to the seasonal increases that expired on February 1, 2016. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, M/I Financial had $87.2 million and $123.6 million outstanding on a combined basis under its credit facilities, respectively, and was in compliance with all financial covenants of those agreements for both periods.

Senior Notes

As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $300.0 million of our 2021 Senior Notes outstanding. The 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (commencing on July 15, 2016), and mature on January 15, 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The 2021 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

The 2021 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket” make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.

The 2021 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by all of our subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2016, the guarantors of the 2021 Senior Notes are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility, the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, and the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2021 Senior Notes on or after January 15, 2018 at a stated redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption price will initially be 103.375% of the principal amount outstanding, but will decline to 101.688% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on January 15, 2019, and will further decline to 100.000% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed on or after January 15, 2020, but prior to maturity.

The indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes limits our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and our 9.75% Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indenture. The “restricted payments basket” is equal to $125.0 million plus (1) 50% of our aggregate consolidated net income (or minus 100% of our aggregate consolidated net loss) from October 1, 2015, excluding income or loss from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, plus (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from either contributions to the common equity of the Company after December 31, 2015 or the sale of qualified equity interests, plus other items and subject to other exceptions. The restricted payments basket was $130.0 million and $128.5 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The determination to pay future dividends on, or make future repurchases of, our common shares or Series A Preferred Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants and the terms of our Series A Preferred Shares, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $86.3 million of our 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes mature on March 1, 2018. At any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes into the Company’s common shares. The conversion rate initially equals 30.9478 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $32.31 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.7 million common shares. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by those subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors under the Company’s 2021 Senior Notes and 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness and are also effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness. The indenture governing the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes provides that the Company may not redeem the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes prior to March 6, 2016, but also contains provisions requiring the Company to repurchase the notes (subject to certain exceptions), at a holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture).

On or after March 6, 2016, the Company may redeem for cash any or all of the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (except for any 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes that the Company is required to repurchase in connection with a fundamental change), but only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price for the notes on each of at least 20 applicable trading days. The 20 trading days do not need to be consecutive, but must occur during a period of 30 consecutive trading days that ends within 10 trading days immediately prior to the date the Company provides the notice of redemption. The redemption price for the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes to be redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $57.5 million of our 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes mature on September 15, 2017. At any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes into the Company’s common shares. The conversion rate initially equals 42.0159 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.80 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.4 million common shares. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by those subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors under the Company’s 2021 Senior Notes and 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness and are also effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness. The indenture governing the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes provides that we may not redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date, but also contains provisions requiring the Company to repurchase the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (subject to certain exceptions), at a holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture).

Notes Payable - Other

The Company had other borrowings, which are reported in Notes Payable - Other in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaling $8.8 million and $8.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The balance consists primarily of a mortgage note payable with a $3.8 million principal balance outstanding at March 31, 2016 (and $3.9 million principal balance outstanding at December 31, 2015), which is secured by an office building, matures in 2017 and carries an interest rate of 8.1%. The remaining balance is made up of other notes payable incurred through the normal course of business.

NOTE 11. Supplemental Guarantor Information

The Company’s obligations under the 2021 Senior Notes, the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes and the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are not guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries and therefore, the Company has disclosed condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. The subsidiary guarantors of the 2021 Senior Notes, the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes and the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are the same.

The following condensed consolidating financial information includes balance sheets, statements of income and cash flow information for M/I Homes, Inc.

Each Guarantor Subsidiary is a direct or indirect 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc. and has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the (a) 2021 Senior Notes, on a joint and several senior unsecured basis, (b) 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis and (c) 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis.

There are no significant restrictions on the parent company’s ability to obtain funds from its Guarantor Subsidiaries in the form of a dividend, loan, or other means.

As of March 31, 2016, each of the Company’s subsidiaries is a Guarantor Subsidiary, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes.

NOTE 12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has an equity compensation plan, the M/I Homes, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTIP”) which has been amended from time to time. The 2009 LTIP was approved by our shareholders and is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the 2009 LTIP, the Company is permitted to grant (1) nonqualified stock options to purchase common shares, (2) incentive stock options to purchase common shares, (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) restricted common shares, (5) other stock-based awards – awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the fair market value of the common shares, and (6) cash-based awards to its officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants. Subject to certain adjustments, the plan authorizes awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants for up to 2,600,000 common shares, of which 592,295 remain available for grant at March 31, 2016.

The 2009 LTIP replaced the M/I Homes, Inc. 1993 Stock Incentive Plan as Amended (the “1993 Plan”), which expired by its terms April 22, 2009. Awards outstanding under the 1993 Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

Stock Options

On February 16, 2016, the Company awarded certain of its employees 399,500 (in the aggregate) nonqualified stock options at an exercise price of $16.85 (the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on such date) and a fair value of $7.57 that vest ratably over a five-year period. Total stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards that has been charged against income relating to the 2009 LTIP was $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016, there was a total of $9.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 2.2 years for the service awards.

Performance Share Unit Awards

On February 16, 2016, February 17, 2015 and February 18, 2014, the Company awarded its executive officers (in the aggregate) a target number of performance share units (“PSU’s”) equal to 79,108, 56,389 and 50,439 PSU’s, respectively. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share of the Company if vesting is satisfied at the end of a three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”). The ultimate number of PSU’s that will vest and be earned, if any, after the completion of the Performance Period, is based on (1) (a) the Company’s cumulative pre-tax income from operations, excluding extraordinary items, over the Performance Period (weighted 80%) (the “Performance Condition”), and (b) the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the Performance Period compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of other publicly-traded homebuilders (weighted 20%) (the “Market Condition”) and (2) the participant’s continued employment through the end of the Performance Period, except in the case of termination due to death, disability or retirement or involuntary termination without cause by the Company. The number of PSU’s that vest may increase by up to 50% from the target number based on levels of achievement of the above criteria as set forth in the applicable award agreements and decrease to zero if the Company fails to meet the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria, 50% of the target number of PSU’s will vest and be earned. Any portion of PSU’s that does not vest at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited. Additionally, the PSU’s have no dividend or voting rights during the Performance Period.

The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition and the Market Condition component was $16.85 and $14.98 for the 2016 PSU’s, respectively, $21.28 and $18.92 for the 2015 PSU’s, respectively, and $23.79 and $21.00 for the 2014 PSU’s, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, for the portion of the PSU’s subject to a Market Condition, stock-based compensation expense is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology and is recognized ratably over the service period regardless of whether or not the attainment of the Market Condition is probable. Therefore, the Company recognized $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, and there was a total of $0.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Market Condition portion of the 2016, 2015 and 2014 PSU awards as of March 31, 2016.

For the portion of the PSU’s subject to a Performance Condition, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the Performance Period based on the probable outcome of the related Performance Condition. Otherwise, stock-based compensation expense recognition is deferred until probability is attained and a cumulative stock-based compensation expense adjustment is recorded and recognized ratably over the remaining service period. The Company reassesses the probability of the satisfaction of the Performance Condition on a quarterly basis, and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on the portion of the requisite service period that has passed. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2016 or the 2015 PSU awards. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for the Performance Conditions to be met for the 2016 and the 2015 awards, the Company would record unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million as of March 31, 2016, for which $0.2 million would be immediately recognized had attainment been probable at March 31, 2016. The Company recognized less than $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2014 PSU awards during the first quarter

of 2016 based on the probability of attaining the performance condition. The Company has $0.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the 2014 PSU awards at March 31, 2016.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

M/I Homes, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is one of the nation’s leading builders of single-family homes, having delivered over 95,000 homes since we commenced homebuilding activities in 1976. The Company’s homes are marketed and sold primarily under the M/I Homes brand (M/I Homes and Showcase Collection (exclusively by M/I)) and, following our acquisition of a privately-held homebuilder in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market in December 2015, we also currently operate under the name Hans Hagen Homes in that market. The Company has homebuilding operations in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Tampa and Orlando, Florida; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies.

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment as each homebuilding division engages in business activities from which it earns revenue, primarily from the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached homes, acquisition and development of land, and the occasional sale of lots to third parties. Our financial services operations generate revenue primarily from the origination, sale and servicing of mortgage loans and title services primarily for purchasers of the Company’s homes and are included in our financial services reportable segment. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, we have determined our reportable segments as follows: Midwest homebuilding, Southern homebuilding, Mid-Atlantic homebuilding and financial services operations. The homebuilding operating segments included in each reportable segment have been aggregated because they share similar aggregation characteristics as prescribed in ASC 280 in the following regards: (1) long-term economic characteristics; (2) historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages; (3) housing products, production processes and methods of distribution; and (4) geographical proximity.

The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:



Midwest	Southern	Mid-Atlantic
Columbus, Ohio	Tampa, Florida	Washington, D.C.
Cincinnati, Ohio	Orlando, Florida	Charlotte, North Carolina
Indianapolis, Indiana	Houston, Texas	Raleigh, North Carolina
Chicago, Illinois	San Antonio, Texas
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota	Austin, Texas
	Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas

In April 2016, we announced our entry into the Sarasota, Florida market.

Overview

For the first quarter of 2016, we experienced generally favorable market conditions in most of our markets as a result of increases in employment, low interest rates, improved consumer confidence and improved mortgage availability. These favorable conditions and the continued execution of our strategic business initiatives enabled us to achieve the following results, in comparison to the first quarter of 2015:


•	New contracts increased 19%


•	Homes delivered increased 22% to 876 homes


•	Average price of homes delivered increased 9% to $353,000


•	Number of homes in backlog increased 22%, and our total sales value in backlog increased 27% to $730.0 million


•	Revenue increased 23%


•	Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue improved 40 basis points to 13.7%


•	Number of active communities at the end of the quarter increased 18% to 181 communities

Pretax income for the first quarter of 2016 was $14.7 million compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. 2016’s first quarter pretax income was unfavorably impacted by a $4.5 million reduction in land sale profit in 2016's first quarter ($0.7 million) compared to the first quarter of 2015 ($5.2 million). Excluding land sale profits in both periods, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of certain land transactions, pretax income increased from $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 - a 34% increase.

We believe that our results were positively impacted by: favorable conditions for housing demand; our strategic growth and investment in new communities; continued improvement in our mix of communities and better locations within each of our markets; our continued focus on controlling overall costs; and the strong performance of our financial services operations.

Summary of Company Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2016, we achieved net income to common shareholders of $8.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.This compares to net income to common shareholders of $8.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in 2015's first quarter. Net income in each period included $1.2 million in dividend payments made to holders of our Series A Preferred Shares.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we recorded total revenue of $324.4 million, of which $309.2 million was from homes delivered, $5.1 million was from land sales and $10.1 million was from our financial services operations. Revenue from homes delivered increased 33% in 2016's first quarter compared to the same period in 2015 driven primarily by a 22% increase in the number of homes delivered (159 units) and a 9% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($28,000 per home delivered). Revenue from land sales decreased $17.0 million from 2015's first quarter primarily due to strategic land sales in both our Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions in the prior year (as our homebuilding operations generate revenue from the sale of land in the normal course of operations from time to time). Revenue in our financial services segment increased 24% to $10.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of a 6% increase in the number of loan originations, a 10% increase in the average loan amount, and more favorable market conditions resulting in higher margins on our loans sold than we experienced in 2015's first quarter.

Total gross margin increased $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015 as a result of a $5.2 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $2.0 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales declined $4.5 million as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered (housing gross margin) improved $12.0 million, due to the 9% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and the 22% increase in the number of homes delivered noted above, partially offset by a $2.2 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during the first quarter of 2016. Exclusive of the stucco-related charge, our housing gross margin declined from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2015 to 18.0% in the first quarter of 2016, largely as a result of the mix of communities delivering homes, as well as higher construction and lot costs in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015's first quarter.

We believe the increased sales volume and higher sales prices on homes delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 were driven primarily by better pricing leverage in select locations and submarkets and shifts in both product and community mix. We sell a variety of home types in various communities and markets, each of which yields a different gross margin. As a result, our housing gross margin may fluctuate up or down from quarter to quarter depending on the mix of communities delivering homes. The pricing improvements were offset by higher average lot and construction costs related to homebuilding industry conditions and normal supply and demand dynamics which led to the decline in our housing gross margin percentage described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we were able to pass a portion of the higher construction and lot costs to our homebuyers in the form of higher sales prices. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to raise prices.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.5 million, which partially offset the increase in our gross margin discussed above, but declined as a percentage of revenue from 14.1% in the first quarter of 2015 to 13.7% in the first quarter of 2016. Selling expense increased $4.6 million from 2015's first quarter and increased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 6.9% in 2016's first quarter compared to 6.7% for the same period in 2015. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $3.5 million to the increase due to the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered. The increase in selling expense was also attributable to a $1.1 million increase in non-variable selling expense primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increased community count. General and administrative expense increased $2.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2015 but improved as a percentage of revenue from 7.3% in the first quarter of 2015 to 6.9% in the same period in 2016. This dollar increase was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in compensation expense, $0.9 million increase in land related expenses, and $0.4 million increase in expenses related to mortgage loans sold.

Outlook

We believe that U.S. housing markets will generally experience modest improvement in demand in 2016, similar to the increased level of new homes sales we experienced in 2015, as a result of continued positive trends in unemployment and low interest rates. We remain focused on increasing our profitability by generating additional revenue and improving overhead operating leverage, continuing to expand our market share, and investing in attractive land and/or new market opportunities. We believe that our geographic footprint and opportunities for growth in our current markets, particularly our newer Texas markets and our new Minneapolis/St. Paul market, combined with the significant number of well-located communities that we opened in 2015, will position us to sustain the positive momentum of our business and further improve our results in 2016.

We expect to continue to emphasize the following strategic business objectives in 2016:


•	profitably growing our presence in our existing markets, including opening new communities;


•	reviewing new markets for investment opportunities;


•	maintaining a strong balance sheet; and


•	emphasizing customer service, product quality and design, and premier locations.

Consistent with these objectives, we took a number of steps during the first three months of 2016 for continued improvement in 2016 and beyond, including investing $52.0 million in land acquisitions and $32.2 million in land development to help grow our presence in our existing markets. We currently estimate that we will spend approximately $425 million to $475 million on land purchases and land development in 2016. However, land transactions are subject to a number of factors, including our financial condition and market conditions, as well as satisfaction of various conditions related to specific properties. We will continue to monitor market conditions and our ongoing pace of home sales and deliveries and we will adjust our land spending accordingly. We opened 13 communities and closed 7 communities in the first quarter of 2016, ending 2016's first quarter with a total of 181 communities compared to 153 communities at March 31, 2015.

Going forward, we believe our abilities to leverage our fixed costs, obtain land at desired rates of return, and open and grow our active communities provide our best opportunities for continuing to improve our financial results. However, we can provide no assurance that the positive trends reflected in our financial and operating metrics will continue in the future.

The following table shows, by segment: revenue; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expense; operating income (loss); and interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

A home is included in “new contracts” when our standard sales contract is executed. “Homes delivered” represents homes for which the closing of the sale has occurred. “Backlog” represents homes for which the standard sales contract has been executed, but which are not included in homes delivered because closings for these homes have not yet occurred as of the end of the period specified.

The composition of our homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog is constantly changing and may be based on a dissimilar mix of communities between periods as new communities open and existing communities wind down. Further, home types and individual homes within a community can range significantly in price due to differing square footage, option selections, lot sizes and quality and location of lots. These variations may result in a lack of meaningful comparability between homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog due to the changing mix between periods.

Cancellation Rates

The following table sets forth the cancellation rates for each of our homebuilding segments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Midwest	10.8	%	15.0	%
Southern	14.1	%	12.7	%
Mid-Atlantic	6.3	%	12.2	%

Total cancellation rate	11.0	%	13.4	%

Seasonality

Typically, our homebuilding operations experience significant seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, homes delivered increase substantially in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. We believe that this seasonality reflects the tendency of homebuyers to shop for a new home in the spring with the goal of closing in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate seasonal weather conditions. Our financial services operations also experience seasonality because loan originations correspond with the delivery of homes in our homebuilding operations.

Year Over Year Comparison

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Midwest Region. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Midwest region increased $33.0 million, from $85.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $118.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. This 39% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 30% increase in the number of homes delivered (74 units) and an 8% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($27,000 per home delivered), offset partially by a $0.7 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Midwest region increased $2.5 million, from $7.8 million during the first quarter of 2015 to $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of a $4.7 million increase in our gross margin, offset, in part, by a $2.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $4.9 million, due to the 30% increase in homes delivered noted above, offset, in part, by a decline in housing gross margin percentage. Our gross margin on land sales declined $0.2 million as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our housing gross margin was unfavorably impacted by a $0.7 million charge for purchase accounting adjustments from our recent Minneapolis/St. Paul acquisition. Exclusive of this charge, our housing gross margin percentage for the first

quarter of 2016 was 18.5% compared to 19.3% in last year’s first quarter. This decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to higher construction and lot costs in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to 2015's first quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.1 million, from $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to $10.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 9.2% compared to 10.3% for the same period in 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $1.6 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $1.0 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, $0.5 million of which was associated with our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division, and (2) a $0.6 million increase in non-variable selling expenses associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increased community count, $0.3 million of which related to our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $0.5 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to an increase in compensation expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced an 18% increase in new contracts in our Midwest region, from 420 in the first quarter of 2015 to 495 in the first quarter of 2016, and a 25% increase in backlog from 677 homes at March 31, 2015 to 845 homes at March 31, 2016. The increases in new contracts and backlog were partially due to the addition of 88 homes in backlog from our recent acquisition in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota together with improving sub-market conditions within the region. Average sales price in backlog increased to $391,000 at March 31, 2016 compared to $357,000 at March 31, 2015 which was due to higher-end product offerings. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we opened one new community in our Midwest region compared to six during 2015's first quarter. Our monthly absorption rate in our Midwest region increased to 2.3 per community in the first quarter of 2016 from 2.2 per community in the first quarter of 2015.

Southern Region. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $24.1 million, from $98.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $122.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. This 24% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 27% increase in the number of homes delivered (75 units) and a 10% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($31,000 per home delivered), offset partially by a $10.0 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Southern region decreased $2.2 million from $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $6.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. This decrease in operating income was the result of a $3.2 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense offset, in part, by a $1.0 million improvement in our gross margin. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $3.7 million, due to the 27% increase in homes delivered noted above, offset, in part, by a decline in housing gross margin percentage. Our gross margin on land sales declined $2.7 million, as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our housing gross margin was unfavorably impacted by a $2.2 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during the first quarter of 2016. Exclusive of this charge, our housing gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2016 was 18.7% compared to 19.3% in last year’s first quarter. This decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of communities delivering homes and higher construction and lot costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.2 million from $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.6% compared to 11.2% for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $2.4 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $2.0 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions from the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, and (2) a $0.4 million increase in non-variable selling expenses primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increased community count. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $0.8 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a increases in compensation and land related expenses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced a 19% increase in new contracts in our Southern region, from 414 in the first quarter of 2015 to 492 for the first quarter of 2016, and a 19% increase in backlog from 589 homes at March 31, 2015 to 702 homes at March 31, 2016. The increases in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to growth in our Texas operations as well as improved demand in our Florida markets. Average sales price in backlog decreased to $352,000 at March 31, 2016 from $358,000 at March 31, 2015 due to a change in product type and market mix. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we opened six communities in our Southern region compared to six during 2015's first quarter. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region declined to 2.5 per community in the first quarter of 2016 from 2.7 per community in the first quarter of 2015.

Mid-Atlantic Region. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Mid-Atlantic region increased $2.2 million from $71.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $73.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. This 3% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of an 8% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($25,000 per home delivered) and a 5% increase in the number of homes delivered (10 units), offset, in part, by a $6.3 million decrease in land sale revenue

compared to prior year. Operating income in our Mid-Atlantic region decreased $0.9 million, from $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $3.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. This decline in operating income was primarily the result of a $0.4 million decrease in our gross margin in addition to a $0.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $1.2 million, due to the 5% increase in homes delivered noted above, offset, in part, by a decline in housing gross margin percentage. Our gross margin on land sales declined $1.6 million, as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our housing gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2016 was 16.8% compared to 17.2% in last year’s first quarter. This decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to higher construction and lot costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.5 million from $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.4% compared to 11.1% for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions from the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced a 19% increase in new contracts in our Mid-Atlantic region, from 274 in the first quarter of 2015 to 327 in the first quarter of 2016, and a 22% increase in the number of homes in backlog from 347 homes at March 31, 2015 to 422 homes at March 31, 2016. Average sales price of homes in backlog increased from $358,000 at March 31, 2015 to $361,000 at March 31, 2016. We opened six communities in our Mid-Atlantic region during the first quarter of 2016 compared to two during the first quarter of 2015. Our monthly absorption rate in our Mid-Atlantic region increased to 2.8 per community in the first quarter of 2016 from 2.5 per community in the first quarter of 2015.

Financial Services. Revenue from our mortgage and title operations increased $2.0 million (24%) from $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of a 6% increase in the number of loan originations, from 568 in the first quarter of 2015 to 604 in the first quarter of 2016 and a 10% increase in the average loan amount from $266,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to $293,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2016. In addition, we experienced higher margins on our loans sold than we experienced in 2015's first quarter due to more favorable market conditions.

We ended our first quarter of 2016 with a $1.0 million increase in operating income compared to 2015's first quarter, which was primarily due to the increase in our revenue discussed above, offset, in part, by a $1.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to the first quarter of 2015, which was attributable primarily to a $0.3 million increase in compensation expense and a $0.4 million increase in expenses related to mortgage loans sold.

At March 31, 2016, M/I Financial provided financing services in all of our markets. Approximately 82% of our homes delivered during the first quarter of 2016 were financed through M/I Financial which was the same rate as in the first quarter of 2015. Capture rate is influenced by financing availability and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.7 million, from $6.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 to $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation expense as well as costs associated with the purchase of an airplane during the first quarter of 2016 and depreciation expense from our investment in new information systems.

Interest Expense - Net. Interest expense for the Company increased $0.8 million, from $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $5.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in our weighted average borrowings from $502.8 million in 2015's first quarter to $608.8 million in 2016's first quarter. The increase in our weighted average borrowings primarily related to an increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility during the quarter compared to 2015's first quarter, combined with an increase in the principal amount of senior notes outstanding at March 31, 2016 ($300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”) outstanding at March 31, 2016 compared to $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (“2018 Senior Notes”) outstanding at March 31, 2015). Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in our weighted average borrowing rate from 6.51% in the first quarter of 2015 to 5.89% for first quarter of 2016 which was primarily due to the lower interest rate payable on the 2021 Senior Notes compared with the interest rate payable on the 2018 Senior Notes that were outstanding during the first quarter of 2015.

Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate was 37.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 39.0% for the same period in 2015. The lower effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to the impact of annual tax benefits expected for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits that were realized during the first quarter of 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview of Capital Resources and Liquidity.

At March 31, 2016, we had $34.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with $31.8 million of this amount comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which represents a $21.6 million increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2015. Our principal uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were investment in land and land development, construction of homes, mortgage loan originations, investment in joint ventures, operating expenses, and short-term working capital and debt service requirements, including the repayment of amounts outstanding under our credit facilities. In order to fund these uses of cash, we used proceeds from home deliveries and the sale of mortgage loans, as well as excess cash balances, borrowings under our credit facilities, and other sources of liquidity.

We are actively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to replenish and grow our lot supply and active community count. We expect to continue to expand our business based on the anticipated level of demand for new homes in our markets. Accordingly, we expect our cash outlays for land purchases, land development, home construction and operating expenses will exceed our cash generated by operations during some monthly and quarterly periods in 2016, and we expect to continue to utilize our revolving credit facility in 2016.

During the first quarter of 2016, we delivered 876 homes, started 1,070 homes, and spent $52.0 million on land purchases and $32.2 million on land development. Based upon our business activity levels, market conditions, and opportunities for land in our markets, we currently estimate that we will spend approximately $425 million to $475 million on land purchases and land development during 2016, including the $84.2 million spent during the first three months of 2016.

We also continue to enter into land option agreements, taking into consideration current and projected market conditions, to secure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, as of March 31, 2016, we had purchase agreements to acquire $525.5 million of land and lots during the remainder of 2016 through 2028.

Land transactions are subject to a number of factors, including our financial condition and market conditions, as well as satisfaction of various conditions related to specific properties. We will continue to monitor market conditions and our ongoing pace of home deliveries and adjust our land spending accordingly.

Operating Cash Flow Activities. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016, we had $1.1 million of cash provided by operating activities, compared to $29.3 million of cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2015. This $30.4 million increase in cash provided by operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $20.0 million net increase in cash related to the amount of mortgage loan originations net of the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year, and a decrease in the change in inventory of $12.7 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015.

Investing Cash Flow Activities. During the first quarter of 2016, we used $12.9 million of cash in investing activities, compared to using $0.8 million of cash in investing activities during the first quarter of 2015. This $12.1 million increase in cash usage was primarily due to a $10.6 million increase in property and equipment primarily consisting of our purchase of an airplane during the first quarter of 2016 to assist in efficiency of managing our 14 operating divisions.

Financing Cash Flow Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated $33.4 million of cash from financing activities, compared to generating $44.5 million of cash during the first three months of 2015. The $11.1 million decrease in cash generated from financing activities was due to increased repayments of borrowings under our MIF credit facilities offset partially by increased borrowings under our Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our ratio of net debt to net capital was 51% and 50%, respectively, calculated as the principal amount outstanding of our total debt minus total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, divided by the sum of the principal amount outstanding of our total debt minus total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash plus shareholders’ equity. The increase compared to December 31, 2015 was due to higher debt levels at March 31, 2016, partially offset by an increase in shareholders’ equity. We believe that this ratio provides useful information regarding our financial position, for understanding the leverage employed in our operations and for comparing us with other homebuilders.

We fund our operations with cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from home deliveries, land sales and the sale of mortgage loans. We believe that these sources of cash, along with our balance of unrestricted cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, investment in land and land development, construction of homes, operating expenses, planned capital spending, and debt service requirements for at least the

next twelve months. In addition, we routinely monitor current operational requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities to strengthen our liquidity or our long-term capital structure. The financing needs of our homebuilding and financial services operations depend on anticipated sales volume in the current year as well as future years, inventory levels and related turnover, forecasted land and lot purchases, debt maturity dates, and other factors. If we seek such additional capital, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such additional equity or debt financing could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and/or increase our interest costs.

The Company is a party to three primary credit agreements: (1) a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility dated July 18, 2013, as amended by a First Amendment dated October 20, 2014, with M/I Homes, Inc. as borrower and guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned homebuilding subsidiaries (the “Credit Facility”); (2) a $110 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated March 29, 2013, with M/I Financial as borrower, as most recently amended on June 26, 2015 (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (3) a $15 million mortgage repurchase agreement with M/I Financial as borrower, as amended and restated on November 3, 2015 (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”).

Included in the table below is a summary of our available sources of cash from the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of March 31, 2016:



(In thousands)	Expiration Date	Outstanding Balance		Available Amount
Notes payable – homebuilding^(a)	10/20/2018	$	114,500	$	245,920
Notes payable – financial services ^(b)	(b)	$	87,186	$	747

(a)

The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculation, which totaled $479.0 million of availability at March 31, 2016, such that the full $400 million commitment amount of the facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. There were $114.5 million borrowings and $39.6 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2016, leaving $245.9 million available. The Credit Facility has an expiration date of October 20, 2018.

(b)

The available amount is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculations under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility, each of which may be increased by pledging additional mortgage collateral. The maximum aggregate commitment amount of M/I Financial's warehousing agreements as of March 31, 2016 was $125 million. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement has an expiration date of June 24, 2016 and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility has an expiration date of November 1, 2016. M/I Financial expects to enter into an amendment to the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement prior to its expiration that would extend its term for an additional year, but M/I Financial can provide no assurances that it will be able to obtain such an extension.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding.

Homebuilding Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $400 million, including a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on October 20, 2018. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at either the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 150 basis points, or at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 250 basis points, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility constitute senior, unsecured indebtedness and availability is subject to, among other things, a borrowing base calculated using various advance rates for different categories of inventory. The Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants which require, among other things, that the Company maintain (1) a minimum level of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $385.8 million (subject to increase over time based on earnings and proceeds from equity offerings), (2) a leverage ratio not in excess of 60%, and (3) either a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or a minimum amount of available liquidity. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the Company’s number of unsold housing units and model homes, as well as the amount of Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The guarantors for the Credit Facility are the same subsidiaries that guarantee our 2021 Senior Notes, our $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”), and our $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”).

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility, including financial covenants. The following table summarizes the most significant restrictive covenant thresholds under the Credit Facility and our compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2016:

Homebuilding Letter of Credit Facilities. The Company is party to three secured credit agreements for the issuance of letters of credit outside of the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Facilities”), with maturity dates ranging from August 31, 2016 to June 1, 2017. Under the terms of the Letter of Credit Facilities, letters of credit can be issued for maximum terms ranging from one year up to three years. The Letter of Credit Facilities contain cash collateral requirements ranging from 101% to 105%. Upon maturity or the earlier termination of the Letter of Credit Facilities, letters of credit that have been issued under the Letter of Credit Facilities remain outstanding with cash collateral in place through the respective expiration dates.

The agreements governing the Letter of Credit Facilities contain limits for the issuance of letters of credit ranging from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, for a combined letter of credit capacity of $12.0 million, of which $4.9 million was uncommitted at March 31, 2016 and could be withdrawn at any time. As of March 31, 2016, there was a total of $2.0 million of letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facilities, which was collateralized with $2.1 million of restricted cash.

Notes Payable - Financial Services.

MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. The Agreement provides a maximum borrowing availability of $110 million and an accordion feature which allows for an increase of the maximum borrowing availability of up to an additional $20 million (subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from existing or new lenders). The maximum principal amount permitted to be outstanding at any one time in aggregate under all warehouse credit lines is $150 million. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement matures on June 24, 2016. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and (2) 2.75%.

The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is secured by certain mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial that are being “warehoused” prior to their sale to investors. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings. There are currently no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, although M/I Financial may, at its election, designate from time to time any one or more of its subsidiaries as guarantors.

As of March 31, 2016, there was $73.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and M/I Financial was in compliance with all covenants. The financial covenants, as more fully described and defined in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, are summarized in the following table, which also sets forth M/I Financial’s compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2016:



Financial Covenant		Covenant Requirement		Actual

MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and is structured as a mortgage repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing availability of

$15 million and an expiration date of November 1, 2016. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 or 275 basis points depending on the loan type. The covenants in the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are substantially similar to the covenants in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings, which are substantially similar to the restrictions in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. There are currently no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. As of March 31, 2016, there was $14.2 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2016.

Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.

6.75% Senior Notes. In December 2015, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket” make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.

See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2021 Senior Notes.

3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. In March 2013, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. The conversion rate initially equals 30.9478 shares per $1,000 of their principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $32.31 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.7 million common shares. See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.

3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. In September 2012, the Company issued $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The conversion rate initially equals 42.0159 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.80 per common share which equates to approximately 2.4 million common shares. See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.

Weighted Average Borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our weighted average borrowings outstanding were $608.8 million and $502.8 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.89% and 6.51%, respectively. The increase in our weighted average borrowings related to an increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility during 2016's first quarter compared to 2015's first quarter, combined with the increase in the principal amount outstanding under our 2021 Senior Notes of $300.0 million, compared with $230.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes outstanding during the first quarter of 2015. The decline in our weighted average borrowing interest rate was also primarily due to the increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility, which has a lower rate, as well as the lower interest rate payable on the 2021 Senior Notes compared with the interest rate on the 2018 Senior Notes that were outstanding during the first quarter of 2015.

At March 31, 2016, we had $114.5 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $112.9 million and the maximum amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $149.9 million. Based on our current anticipated spending on land acquisition and development in 2016, and associated increases in our investment in inventory, including land and houses under construction, we expect to continue to borrow under the Credit Facility during 2016, with an estimated peak amount outstanding of less than $200 million. The actual amount borrowed in 2016 (and the estimated peak amount outstanding) and related timing are subject to numerous factors, including the timing and amount of land and house construction expenditures, payroll and other general and administrative expenses, cash receipts from home deliveries, other cash receipts and payments, any capital markets transactions or other additional financings by the Company and any repayments or redemptions of outstanding debt. The Company may experience significant variation in cash and Credit Facility balances from week to week due to the timing of such receipts and payments.

There were $39.6 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the average daily amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $38.4 million and the maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $39.9 million.

At March 31, 2016, M/I Financial had $73.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement was $34.9 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $104.6 million.

At March 31, 2016, M/I Financial had $14.2 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility was $9.0 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $19.0 million, which occurred during January, while the “seasonal increase” provision was in effect such that the maximum borrowing availability was $20.0 million.

Preferred Shares. At March 31, 2016, we had 2,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/1000^th of a Series A Preferred Share, or 2,000 Series A Preferred Shares in the aggregate, outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference equal to $25 per depositary share (plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) for the then current quarterly dividend period accrued to but excluding the date of final distribution). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are non-cumulative and, if declared by us, are paid at an annual rate of 9.75%. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears, if declared by us, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. If there is a change of control of the Company and if the Company’s corporate credit rating is withdrawn or downgraded to a certain level (together constituting a “change of control event”), the dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares will increase to 10.75% per year. We may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in whole or in part (provided, that any redemption that would reduce the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares below $25 million in the aggregate would be restricted to a redemption in whole only) at any time or from time to time at a cash redemption price equal to $25 per depositary share (plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) for the then current quarterly dividend period accrued to but excluding the redemption date). Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no right to require redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund provisions, are not convertible into any other securities, and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights, except with respect to those specified matters set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or as otherwise required by applicable Ohio law, and no preemptive rights. The outstanding depositary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MHO-PrA.” There is no separate public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares except as represented by the depositary shares.

The indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes limits our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indenture. The restricted payments basket was $130.0 million at March 31, 2016. We are permitted by the indenture to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares to the extent of such positive balance in our restricted payments basket. We declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $609.375 per share on our Series A Preferred Shares in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 for an aggregate dividend payment of $1.2 million. The determination to pay future dividends on, and make future repurchases of, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants and the terms of our Series A Preferred Shares, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Universal Shelf Registration. In October 2013, the Company filed a $400 million universal shelf registration statement with the SEC, which registration statement became effective on December 20, 2013 and and will expire in December 2016. Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company may, from time to time, offer debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares or units of two or more of those securities, rights to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or depositary shares, stock purchase contracts and units. The timing and amount of offerings, if any, will depend on market and general business conditions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations appearing in the Contractual Obligations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Notes 3, 5 and 6 discuss our off-balance sheet arrangements with respect to land acquisition contracts and option agreements, and land development joint ventures, including the nature and amounts of financial obligations relating to these items. In addition, these Notes discuss the nature and amounts of certain types of commitments that arise in the ordinary course of our land development and homebuilding operations, including commitments of land development joint ventures for which we might be obligated.

Our off-balance sheet arrangements relating to our homebuilding operations include unconsolidated joint ventures, land option agreements, guarantees and indemnifications associated with acquiring and developing land, and the issuance of letters of credit and completion bonds. Our use of these arrangements is for the purpose of securing the most desirable lots on which to build homes for our homebuyers in a manner that we believe reduces the overall risk to the Company. Additionally, in the ordinary course of its business, our financial services operations issue guarantees and indemnities relating to the sale of loans to third parties.

Land Option Agreements. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In cases where we are the primary beneficiary, even though we do not have title to such land, we are required to consolidate these purchase/option agreements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing under land option or purchase agreements.

At March 31, 2016, “Consolidated Inventory Not Owned” was $4.9 million. At March 31, 2016, the corresponding liability of $4.9 million has been classified as Obligation for Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other than the Consolidated Inventory Not Owned balance, the Company currently believes that its maximum exposure as of March 31, 2016 related to our land option agreements is equal to the amount of the Company’s outstanding deposits and prepaid acquisition costs, which totaled $43.4 million, including cash deposits of $29.3 million, prepaid acquisition costs of $4.6 million, letters of credit of $6.3 million and $3.3 million of other non-cash deposits.

Letters of Credit and Completion Bonds. The Company provides standby letters of credit and completion bonds for development work in progress, deposits on land and lot purchase agreements and miscellaneous deposits. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding $129.9 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities, that expire at various times through November 2023. Included in this total are: (1) $81.0 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $33.5 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.1 million of financial letters of credit; and (3) $7.2 million of financial bonds. The development agreements under which we are required to provide completion bonds or letters of credit are generally not subject to a required completion date and only require that the improvements are in place in phases as houses are built and sold. In locations where development has progressed, the amount of development work remaining to be completed is typically less than the remaining amount of bonds or letters of credit due to timing delays in obtaining release of the bonds or letters of credit.

Guarantees and Indemnities. In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial enters into agreements that guarantee purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur. The risks associated with these guarantees are offset by the value of the underlying assets, and the Company accrues its best estimate of the probable loss on these loans. Additionally, the Company has provided certain other guarantees and indemnities in connection with the acquisition and development of land by our homebuilding operations. Refer to Note 5 for additional details relating to our guarantees and indemnities.

INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

Our business is significantly affected by general economic conditions within the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest rates and inflation. Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor can result in a need to increase the sales prices of homes. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand and the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. Higher interest rates also may decrease our potential market by making it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages at interest rates that are acceptable to them. The impact of increased rates can be offset, in part, by offering variable rate loans with lower interest rates. In conjunction with our mortgage financing services, hedging methods are used to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations between the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes. Rising interest rates, as well as increased materials and labor costs, may reduce gross margins. An increase in material and labor costs is particularly a problem during a period of declining home prices. Conversely, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our revolving credit and mortgage repurchase facilities, consisting of the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility which permit borrowings of up to $525 million, subject to availability constraints. Additionally, M/I Financial is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are extended to certain home-buying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to twelve months.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities: Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. During the intervening period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a best-efforts contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

The table below shows the notional amounts of our financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



	March 31,		December 31,
Description of Financial Instrument (in thousands)	2016		2015
Best-effort contracts and related committed IRLCs	$	5,472	$	2,625
Uncommitted IRLCs	73,029		46,339
FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs	72,000		46,000
Best-effort contracts and related mortgage loans held for sale	6,928		100,152
FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale	83,000		27,000
Mortgage loans held for sale covered by FMBSs	83,692		26,690

The table below shows the measurement of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



	March 31,			December 31,
Description of Financial Instrument (in thousands)	2016			2015
Mortgage loans held for sale	$	94,438		$	127,001

Interest rate lock commitments	890			321
Best-efforts contracts	(137		)	(206		)
Total	$	94,332		$	127,023

The following table sets forth the amount of gain (loss) recognized on assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
Description (in thousands)	2016			2015
Mortgage loans held for sale	$	1,360		$	358
Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities	(766		)	(380		)
Interest rate lock commitments	569			345
Best-efforts contracts	69			(159		)
Total gain recognized	$	1,232		$	164

The following table provides the expected future cash flows and current fair values of borrowings under our credit facilities and mortgage loan origination services that are subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate, as of March 31, 2016. Because the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 30 to 45 days, their outstanding balances are included in the most current period presented. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at March 31, 2016. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 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

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have received claims from homeowners in our Florida communities (and been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners) related to stucco on their homes. Please refer to Note 6 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these stucco claims.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected if pending or future legal claims against us are not resolved in our favor.

In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco discussed below, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Similarly, if additional legal proceedings are filed against us in the future, including with respect to stucco installation in our Florida communities, the negative outcome of one or more of such legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Homebuilding is subject to construction defect, product liability and warranty claims that can be significant and costly.

As a homebuilder, we are subject to construction defect, product liability and warranty claims in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common in the homebuilding industry and can be significant and costly.

We and many of our subcontractors have general liability, property, workers compensation and other business insurance. This insurance is intended to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits. The availability of insurance for construction defects, and the scope of the coverage, are currently limited and the policies that can be obtained are costly and often include exclusions. We have responded to increases in insurance costs and coverage limitations by increasing our self-insured retentions and claim reserves. There can be no assurance that coverage will not be further restricted or become more costly. Also, at times we have waived certain provisions of our customary subcontractor insurance requirements, which increases our and our insurers’ exposure to claims and increases the possibility that our insurance will not be adequate to protect us for all the costs we incur.

We record warranty and other reserves for the homes we sell based on a number of factors, including historical experience in our markets, insurance and actuarial assumptions and our judgment with respect to the qualitative risks associated with the types of homes we build. Because of the high degree of judgment required in determining these liability reserves, our actual future liability could differ significantly from our reserves. Given the inherent uncertainties, we cannot provide assurance that our insurance coverage, our subcontractor arrangements and our reserves will be adequate to address all of our construction defect, product liability and warranty claims. If the costs to resolve these claims exceed our estimates, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have received claims from homeowners in our Florida communities (and been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners) related to stucco installation. Because our assessment of the stucco issue is ongoing, we are uncertain at this time regarding: (a) the number of similarly affected homes that may require stucco repairs in the future; (b) the cost to repair those homes; (c) the extent to which we may be able to recover a portion of our repair costs from subcontractors and insurers; and (d) the ultimate amount of our liability. Given the inherent uncertainties, we cannot provide assurance that the final costs to resolve these claims will not exceed our accrual and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Please refer to Note 6 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these stucco claims.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities — None.

(b) Use of Proceeds — Not Applicable.

There were no purchases made by, or on behalf of, the Company or any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company’s common shares or Series A Preferred Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

See Note 7 and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section above for more information regarding the limit imposed by the indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes on our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indenture.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities - None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures - None.

Item 5. Other Information - None.
