Item 8.01.              Other Events
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) is being filed in connection with Hovnanian Enterprises Inc.'s (the "Company”) Registration Statement on Form S-3 in order to provide the applicable financial information of the Company’s subsidiary guarantor registrants for certain debt securities registered thereunder (the "Securities") as required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 3-10”).

The guarantors of the Securities are different from the guarantors for the Company’s existing senior secured notes, senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated amortizing notes, therefore the Notes to the Company’s financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 as well as the financial statements contained in its Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly periods ended January 31, 2012, April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2012 do not currently reflect the required guarantor financial statements for the Securities in accordance with Rule 3-10.   Therefore, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein in Exhibits 99.1 are the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended July 31, 2012 to reflect the additional disclosure for the guarantor subsidiaries of the Securities.  Other than the revisions to Note 22 in the attached financial statements to provide the additional guarantor financial statements for the Securities, no other revisions have been made to the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-Q previously filed on September 10, 2012.
