Note 1 - Nature of operations and basis of presentation

The Company and Nature of Business

United Homes Group, Inc. (“UHG”, the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a homebuilding business which operates with an asset-light strategy. The Company is a former blank check company incorporated on October 7, 2020 under the name DiamondHead Holdings Corp. (“DHHC”) as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

UHG constructs single-family residential homes and has active operations in South Carolina and Georgia offering a range of residential products including entry-level attached and detached homes, first-time move up attached and detached homes and second move-up detached homes. The constructed homes appeal to a wide range of buyer profiles, from first-time to lifestyle buyers. The Company’s primary objective is to provide customers with homes of exceptional quality and value while maximizing its return on investment. The Company has grown by expanding its market share in existing markets and by expanding into markets contiguous to the current active markets.

Business Combination

On September 10, 2022, DHHC entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Hestia Merger Sub, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DHHC (“Merger Sub”), and Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“GSH”).

Upon the consummation of the transaction on March 30, 2023 (“Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into GSH with GSH surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, GSH is now a wholly owned subsidiary of DHHC, which has changed its name to United Homes Group, Inc.

GSH’s business historically consisted of both homebuilding operations and land development operations. In anticipation of the Business Combination, GSH separated its land development operations and its homebuilding operations across separate entities in an effort to adopt best practices in the homebuilding industry associated with ownership and control of land and lots and production efficiency. For accounting treatment of the Business Combination, see Note 2 - Merger and Reverse Recapitalization. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to “Legacy UHG” refer to the homebuilding operations of GSH prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy UHG prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of UHG and DHHC following the Closing; (iii) the assets and liabilities of UHG and DHHC, and Legacy UHG at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 and  the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (“Legacy UHG financial statements”) have been prepared from Legacy UHG’s historical financial records and reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Legacy UHG for the periods presented on a carve-out basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity is adjusted for the retroactive application of the reverse recapitalization using the Exchange Ratio. The Legacy UHG financial statements present historical information and results attributable to the homebuilding operations of GSH. The Legacy UHG financial statements exclude GSH’s operations related to land development operations as Legacy UHG historically did not operate as a standalone company. The carve-out methodology was used since Legacy UHG’s inception until the Closing Date. Thus, after March 30, 2023, no carve-out amounts were included in UHG’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

Periods prior to the Business Combination

Prior to the Business Combination until the Closing Date, Legacy UHG has historically transacted with affiliates that were owned by the shareholders of GSH. Legacy UHG has categorized the various affiliates based on the nature of the transactions with Legacy UHG and their primary operations. The categories are as follows:

Land Development Affiliates - Land development affiliates’ primary operations consist of acquiring and developing raw parcels of land for vertical home construction. Upon completion, the land development affiliates transfer the developed lots to Legacy UHG in a non-cash transaction.

Other Operating Affiliates - Other operating affiliates’ operations consist of acquiring and developing land, purchasing constructed houses for rental properties, leasing activities, and purchasing model homes to be maintained during the sell down period of a community.

Collectively, these are referred to as “Other Affiliates” in these financial statements and represented as related parties (see Note 8 - Related party transactions).

All assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses directly associated with the activity of Legacy UHG are included in these financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents is included in these financial statements, as Legacy UHG provided the cash management/treasury function for the Other Affiliates until January 1, 2023. In addition, a portion of Legacy UHG’s corporate expenses including share-based compensation were allocated to Legacy UHG based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional cost of sales or employee headcount, as applicable. The corporate expense allocations include the cost of corporate functions and resources provided by or administered by GSH including, predominately, costs associated with executive management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, and costs associated with operating GSH’s office buildings. The corporate expense allocation requires significant judgment and management believes the basis on which the corporate expenses have been allocated reasonably reflects the utilization of services provided to Legacy UHG during the periods presented. Balance Sheet accounts were reviewed to determine what was attributable to Legacy UHG. There were no Balance Sheet accounts that required allocation procedures for assets and liabilities.

In addition, all significant transactions between Legacy UHG and GSH have been included in these financial statements. The aggregated net effect of transactions between Legacy UHG and GSH are settled within Retained Earnings/ (Accumulated Deficit) on the Balance Sheets as they were not expected to be settled in cash. These amounts were reflected in the Statements of Cash Flows within Distributions and net transfer to shareholders and other affiliates and, when transactions were historically not settled in cash, in Non-cash financing activities.

GSH’s third-party long-term debt and related interest expense have all been allocated to Legacy UHG. Legacy UHG was considered the primary legal obligor of such debt as it is the sole cash generating entity and responsible for repayment of the debt. Certain portions of that long-term debt and the related interest consist of construction revolving lines of credit and are reflected as Homebuilding debt. The remaining portions of long-term debt and the related interest have been used to finance operations that were not related to Legacy UHG, primarily land development activities, and were presented as Other Affiliate debt.

The results reported in these financial statements would not be indicative of Legacy UHG’s future performance, primarily because prior to the Business Combination, the lots developed by affiliates were not transferred to the homebuilding operations of GSH at a market rate. As such, these results do not necessarily reflect what the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had it operated as an independent company during the periods presented.

​

Note 2 - Merger and Reverse Recapitalization

On the Closing Date, the following transactions were completed:

Table of Contents

As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the Business Combination, UHG had the following outstanding securities:

Earnout

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of GSH common shares, certain holders of stock options, and holders of GSH warrants (together, “GSH Equity Holders”), options held by employees and directors (Employee Option Holders”) and the sponsor shareholders (“Sponsors”, and together, the “Earnout Holders”) are entitled to receive consideration in the form of common shares (Earnout Shares”). 21,886,378 Earnout Shares, comprised of 20,000,000 shares in consideration to GSH Equity Holders and 1,886,378 additional earnout shares awarded to the Sponsors (as defined below), were reserved for the future issuance upon achievement of certain earnout conditions. Refer to Note 14 - Earnout Shares.

In connection with the Closing, and under the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, 1,886,378 shares of the 8,625,000 shares of DHHC Class B common stock held by the Sponsor were converted to Earnout Shares and became subject to vesting conditions based on the achievement of certain market-based share price thresholds. Refer to Note 14 - Earnout Shares for additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Earnout Triggering Events. Of the remaining 6,738,622 shares of DHHC Class B common stock, 2,577,691 shares were forfeited and 4,160,931 shares were converted into UHG Class A Common Shares.

Convertible Note

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, DHHC entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among itself, GSH, and a group of investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”). Pursuant to and at the

9

Table of Contents

closing of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Note Investors agreed to purchase $80.0 million in original principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes,” or “Note PIPE Financing”) and, pursuant to the terms of share subscription agreements entered into between each Convertible Note Investor and UHG, an additional 744,588 UHG Class A Common Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) in a private placement PIPE investment (the “PIPE Investment”). Refer to Note 12 - Convertible Note for additional information on the accounting treatment for the Notes, including issuance costs.

Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, UHG entered into separate subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”, or “Subscription Agreement PIPE Financing,” and together with the “Note PIPE Financing,” the “PIPE Financings”) with a number of investors (each a “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and UHG agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 471,500 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and 117,875 shares for a purchase price of $0.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4.7 million, in a private placement offering. The PIPE Financings closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, DHHC entered into separate Share Issuance and Lock-Up Agreements (each a “Lock-up Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “Lock-up Investor”), pursuant to which UHG agreed to issue each Lock-up Investor 0.25 UHG Class A Common Shares (up to 421,100 UHG Class A Common Shares in the aggregate) for a purchase price of $0.01 per share, for each UHG Class A Common Share held by such Lock-up Investor at the Closing. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, UHG notified each Lock-Up Investor that UHG waived the lock-up restriction contained in the Lock-Up Agreements.

The number of shares of UHG common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination was as follows:

​

Treatment of Merger

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This determination is primarily based on Legacy UHG retaining the largest portion of the voting rights, the post-transaction management team is primarily comprised of the pre-transaction management team of GSH and the relative size of GSH’s operations is larger than DHHC’s. Under this method of accounting, DHHC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of UHG represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy UHG with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Legacy UHG issuing stock for the net assets of DHHC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DHHC are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Legacy UHG. All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio of 373.47 (“Exchange Ratio”) for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Business Combination to effect the reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, certain amounts have been reclassified and retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse recapitalization pursuant to the Business Combination for all periods presented within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company received approximately $128.6 million of gross proceeds including the contribution of $43.9 million of cash held in DHHC’s trust account from its initial public offering, $4.7 million of cash in connection with the Subscription Agreement PIPE Financing, and $80.0 million in connection with the Notes PIPE Financing. As part of the PIPE Financings, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement for an original principal amount of $80.0 million. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $5.0 million of original issuance discount and an additional $3.5 million of transaction costs that were allocated to the Notes, resulting in net cash proceeds of $71.5 million.

The Company incurred $25.7 million of transaction costs, consisting of advisory, banking, legal, and other professional fees, of which $13.6 million were incurred by DHHC and $12.1 million were incurred by Legacy UHG. All costs were capitalized and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31 and, unless otherwise stated, all years and dates refer to the fiscal year.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information, footnotes, and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared under GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. Therefore, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the audited financial statements of Legacy UHG for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Form S-1 filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are also unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements and adjusted for the retrospective recapitalization as described in Note 1 - Nature of operations and basis of presentation and Note 2 - Merger and Reverse Recapitalization but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of audited Legacy UHG financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, any other interim periods, or any future year or period.

Emerging Growth Company - The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another

public company which is not an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Principles of consolidation – The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make informed estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates made by the Company include corporate expense allocation, useful lives of depreciable assets, revenue recognition associated with contracts recognized over time, capitalized interest, warranty reserves, share-based compensation, valuation of earnout liability, valuation of convertible note and valuation of stock warrants. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates.

Segment Information – The Company determines its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) based on the person responsible for making resource allocation decisions. Operating segments are components of the business for which the CODM regularly reviews discrete financial information. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.

Inventories and Cost of Sales – The carrying value of inventory is stated at cost unless events and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Inventory consists of developed lots, homes under construction, and finished homes.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue recognized at a point in time from speculative homes totaled $92,389,410, and $104,450,041 respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue recognized over time from land owned by customers totaled $2,437,292, and $3,986,819, respectively.

Advertising – The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and includes such costs within Selling, general, and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $490,980, and $452,765, respectively, in advertising and marketing costs.

Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is “more-likely-than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated.

12

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes, including those resulting from the late filing of tax returns within the provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established.

Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties under GAAP. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts its tax balances as new legislation is enacted or new information becomes available.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy UHG was included in the tax filing of the shareholders of GSH, which was taxed individually under the provision of Subchapter S and Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code. Individual shareholders were liable for income taxes on their respective shares of GSH’s taxable income. No income tax liability nor income tax was allocated to Legacy UHG as of December 31, 2022 or for the three months ended March 31, 2023, nor was there any recorded liability for uncertain tax positions.

​

Derivative liabilities – The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The 8,625,000 warrants issued in connection with DHHC’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”), the 2,966,664 Private Placement Warrants, 21,491,695 Earnout Shares and certain stock options (as discussed in Note 13 - Share-based compensation) are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments, earnout shares and stock options as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period until they are exercised or issued, respectively. The Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value for the Public Warrants as of March 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The Private Placement Warrants and the Earnout shares were valued using a Monte Carlo analysis. See the Earnout Shares and Warrant Liabilities sections below for further detail on each instrument and their classification. Stock options were valued using Black‑Scholes valuation model. See Note 13 - Share-based compensation for further detail.

Earnout - In connection with the Business Combination, Earnout Holders are entitled to receive consideration in the form of Earnout Shares upon the Company achieving certain Triggering Events, as described in Note 14 - Earnout Shares. The contingent obligations to issue Earnout Shares to the Earnout Holders, excluding Employee Option Holders, are recognized on the Closing Date as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. The liabilities were recognized at fair value on the Closing Date and are subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnout Shares issuable to Employee Option Holders at the Closing Date are considered a separate unit of account from the Earnout Shares issuable to GSH Equity Holders, and the Sponsors, and are accounted for as equity classified stock compensation. The Earnout Shares issuable to Employee Option Holders are fully vested upon issuance, thus there is no requisite service period, and the value of these shares is recognized as a one-time stock compensation expense for the grant date fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Earnout Shares were determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a daily basis over the Earnout Period as defined in Note 14 - Earnout Shares. The preliminary estimated fair values of the Earnout Shares were determined using the most reliable information available, including the current trading price of the UHG Class A Common Shares, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and dividend rate.

The earnout liability is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because the Company estimated projections during the Earnout Period utilizing unobservable inputs. See Note 4 - Fair Value Measurement for further detail on UHG’s accounting policy related to the fair value of financial instruments.

Warrant Liabilities- The Company assumed 8,625,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) from DHHC’s initial public offering and 2,966,664 private placement warrants originally issued by DHHC (“Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants” or “Warrants”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, each Common Stock Warrant issued entitled the holder to purchase one UHG Class A Common Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The

13

Table of Contents

Common Stock Warrants are exercisable as of April 29, 2023. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, no Common Stock Warrants were exercised. The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable unless certain conditions occur which would permit a cashless exercise. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, subject to certain exceptions. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and concluded that both meet the definition of a derivative and will be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40, as the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to UHG’s stock.

PIPE Investment – In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, GSH entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 21, 2023, and effective March 30, 2023, with DHHC and the Convertible Note Investors. As part of the PIPE Investment, the Convertible Note Investors agreed to purchase $80.0 million in original principal amount of Notes at a 6.25% original issue discount and were issued an additional 744,588 UHG Class A Common Shares. The aggregate proceeds received from the Convertible Note Investors  is $75.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, (i) the PIPE Investors purchased from the Company an aggregate of (A) 471,500 UHG Class A Common Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and (B) 117,875 UHG Class A Common Shares at a purchase price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.7 million, pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, and (ii) the Lock-Up Investors purchased from the Company an aggregate of 421,100 UHG Class A Common Shares at a purchase price of $0.01 per share pursuant to the Share Lock-Up Agreements. Following the closing of the Business Combination, UHG notified each Lock-Up Investor that UHG waived the lock-up restriction contained in the Share Lock-Up Agreements.

The Company accounts for the Notes and PIPE Shares as two freestanding financial instruments. The Company accounts for the Notes at amortized cost and amortizes the debt discount to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the Notes pursuant to ASC 835 Interest (“ASC 835”). The Company accounts for the PIPE Shares as equity, as they are not in the scope of ASC 480. The Company applied the relative fair value method to allocate the $75.0 million in aggregate proceeds received among the freestanding instruments issued. Specifically, $70.2 million was allocated to the Notes, and $4.8 million was allocated to the PIPE Shares. The amount allocated to the PIPE Shares is presented as an increase in additional paid-in capital.

The Notes are considered a hybrid financial instrument consisting of a debt “host” and embedded features. The Company evaluated the Notes at issuance for embedded derivative features and the potential need for bifurcation under ASC 815, and determined that the Notes contained embedded derivatives, including conversion features and redemption rights. Although the Company determined that a group of these embedded features which are contingent on certain events occurring, as further discussed in Note 12 - Convertible Note, would need to be bifurcated, the contingencies themselves are either entirely within the Company’s control or based on an event management considers the probability of occurring as extremely remote. Therefore, the group of embedded features which are contingent on certain events and required to be bifurcated would likely have minimal or no value and therefore deemed to not be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to assist with the valuation of the Notes and the PIPE Shares. Refer to Note 12 - Convertible Note for further valuation details.

The Company recognized issuance costs of $3.5 million in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement. Issuance costs are specific incremental costs that are (1) paid to third parties and (2) directly attributable to the issuance of a debt or equity instrument. The issuance costs attributable to the initial sale of the instrument are offset against the associated proceeds in the determination of the instrument’s initial net carrying amount.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASC 326 significantly changes the way impairment of financial assets is recognized by requiring companies to immediately recognize estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets. The immediate recognition of the estimated credit losses generally will result in an earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted – In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP when modifying contracts and hedging relationships that use the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a reference rate. In addition, these amendments are not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2024. The Company does not anticipate a material increase in interest rates from its creditors as a result of the shift away from LIBOR. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the shift and this guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value under GAAP are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs as follows:

​

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Lot deposits, and Accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair value. The interest rates on the Homebuilding debt and other affiliate debt vary and are the greater of either a reference rate plus an applicable margin, or the base rate plus the aforementioned applicable margin. Refer to Note 7 - Homebuilding debt and other affiliate debt for additional detail on the determination of these instruments’ interest rate. As the reference rate of the Homebuilding debt and other affiliate debt at any point in time is reflective of the current interest rate environment the Company operates in, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates their fair value.

The Convertible note payable is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at its amortized cost and not at fair value. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the convertible note is $193,100,000. See Note 12 - Convertible Note for further details on how the fair value was estimated.

All other financial instruments except for Derivative private placement warrants liability, Contingent earnout liability, Derivative stock option liability and Convertible note payable are valued either based on recent trades of securities in active markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

The estimated fair value of the Derivative private placement warrants liability, Contingent earnout liability, Derivative stock option liability and Convertible note payable is determined using Level 3 inputs. The models and significant assumptions used in preparing the valuations are disclosed in Note 15 - Warrant liability and Note 14 - Earnout Shares respectively.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation. There were no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022.

Note 7 - Homebuilding debt and other affiliate debt

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy UHG, jointly with its Other Affiliates considered to be under common control, entered into debt arrangements with financial institutions. These debt arrangements are in the form of revolving lines of credit and are generally secured by land (developed lots and undeveloped land) and homes (under construction and finished). Legacy UHG and certain related Other Affiliates, were collectively referred to as the Nieri Group. The Nieri Group entities were jointly and severally liable for the outstanding balances under the revolving lines of credit, however, Legacy UHG was deemed the primary obligor. Legacy UHG was considered the primary legal obligor of such debt as it was the sole cash generating entity and responsible for repayment of the debt. As

such, Legacy UHG had recorded the outstanding advances under the financial institution debt and other debt within these financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

A portion of the revolving lines of credit were drawn down for the sole operational benefit of the Nieri Group and Other Affiliates outside of Legacy UHG. These line of credit balances are reflected in the table below as Other Affiliates’ debt. Post Business Combination, the Company no longer enters into debt arrangements with Other Affiliates of Legacy UHG. As discussed further below, in connection with the Business Combination, the Wells Fargo Syndication line was amended and restated to exclude any members of the Nieri Group and Other Affiliates of Legacy UHG from the borrower list.

The advances from the revolving construction lines, reflected as Homebuilding debt, are used to build homes and are repaid incrementally upon individual home sales. The various revolving construction lines are collateralized by the homes under construction and developed lots. The revolving construction lines are fully secured, and the availability of funds are based on the inventory value at the time of the draw request. Interest accrued on the loans is added to the balance of the loans outstanding and is paid concurrently with the principal repayments made upon the occurrence of individual home sales. As the average construction time for homes is less than one year, all outstanding debt is considered short-term as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The following table and descriptions summarize the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Wells Fargo Syndication

In July 2021, the Nieri Group entities entered into a $150,000,000 Syndicated Credit Agreement (“Syndicated Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The Syndicated Line is a three-year revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 2024, and an option to extend the maturity date for one year that can be exercised upon approval from Wells Fargo. The Syndicated Line also includes a $2,000,000 letter of credit as a sub-facility subjected to the same terms and conditions as the Syndicated Line. The Syndicated Line was amended and restated on March 30, 2023 (“Amendment Date”) in connection with the Business Combination (as defined in Note 1 - Nature of operations and basis of presentation). As a result of the amended and restated agreement, Great Southern

Homes, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is now the sole borrower of the Syndicated Line. No significant terms were changed other than described below.

The remaining availability on the Syndicated Line was $40,827,014 as of March 31, 2023 and $32,044,028 as of December 31, 2022. The Company pays a fee ranging between 15 and 30 basis points per annum depending on the unused amount of the Syndicated Line. The fee is computed on a daily basis and paid quarterly in arrears.

The Syndication Agreement contains financial covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth of no less than the sum of (x) $65 million and (y) 25% of positive after-tax income until the Amendment Date (which amount is subject to increase over time based on earnings) and no less than $70 million from the Amendment Date, (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio from exceeding 2.75 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter until the Amendment Date and 2.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter after the Amendment Date, (c) a minimum debt service coverage ratio to be less than 2.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter, and (d) a minimum liquidity amount of not less than $15,000,000 at all times and unrestricted cash of not less than $7,500,000 at all times. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2023. Legacy UHG was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.

The interest rates on the borrowings under the Syndicated Line vary based on the leverage ratio. In connection with the amended and restated Syndicated Line, the benchmark interest rate was converted from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), with no changes in the applicable rate margins. The interest rate is based on the greater of either LIBOR prior to Amendment Date or SOFR post Amendment Date plus an applicable margin (ranging from 275 basis points to 350 basis points) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, or the base rate plus the aforementioned applicable margin.

Other Affiliates debt

The amounts in Other Affiliates debt are unrelated to the operations of Legacy UHG, and therefore, an equal amount was included as an offset in Retained Earnings as of December 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Other Affiliates borrowed $136,773,and $2,154,624, respectively. These amounts are recorded on the Statements of Cash Flows, financing activities section, with borrowings presented as Proceeds from other affiliate debt and repayments as Repayments of other affiliate debt.

On February 27, 2023, Legacy UHG paid off Wells Fargo debt associated with Other Affiliates in the amount of $8,340,545 and on February 28, 2023, Legacy UHG was released as a co-obliger from the Anderson Brothers debt associated with Other Affiliates in anticipation of the Business Combination that closed on March 30, 2023 as discussed in Note 1. As a result there is no remaining debt balance associated with Other Affiliates as of March 31, 2023.

In connection with the amendment of the Syndicated Line, the Company incurred debt issuance costs, from which $469,585 is deferred and will be amortized over the remaining life of the Syndicated Line. The amendment is accounted for as a modification of an existing line of credit under ASC 470 Debt and, therefore, any previously unamortized deferred costs continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the Syndicated Line. The Company recognized $120,988 and $85,782, respectively, of amortized deferred financing costs within Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Outstanding deferred financing costs related to the Company’s Homebuilding debt were $1,059,657 and $888,179 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the debt is a revolving arrangement.

Note 8 - Related party transactions

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy UHG transacted with Other Affiliates that were owned by the shareholders of GSH. Those Other Affiliates included Land Development Affiliates and Other Operating Affiliates (see Note 1 - Nature of operations and basis of presentation).

Post Business Combination, the Company continues to transact with these parties, however, they are no longer considered affiliates of the Company. Land Development Affiliates and Other Affiliates of Legacy UHG (post Business Combination) meet the definition of related parties of the Company as defined in ASC 850-10-20.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy UHG maintained the cash management and treasury function for its Other Affiliates. Cash receipts from customers and cash disbursements made to vendors were recorded through one centralized bank account. Legacy UHG recorded a Due from Other Affiliate when cash was disbursed, generally to a vendor, on behalf of an affiliate. Conversely, Legacy UHG
