Use of Estimates:

     Use of estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  For example, unexpected changes in market conditions or a continued or further downturn in the economy could adversely affect actual results.  Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, land development costs, accounts and mortgages receivables, legal liability, insurance liability, depreciation, employee benefits, taxes, and contingencies.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the combined financial statements in the period such revisions are determined to be necessary.

     Management believes that its accounting policies regarding revenue recognition, land development costs, long lived assets, deferred income and income taxes among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its combined financial statements.  For a description of these critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There were no significant changes in the Companies’ critical accounting policies or estimates since the Companies’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”).  Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.
