PULTE HOMES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
     Basis of presentation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pulte Homes, Inc. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Company”) and variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The direct subsidiaries of Pulte Homes, Inc. include Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc., Del Webb Corporation (“Del Webb”) and other subsidiaries that are engaged in the homebuilding business. Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc.’s operating subsidiaries include Pulte Home Corporation, Pulte International Corporation (“International”) and other subsidiaries that are engaged in the homebuilding business. Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc.’s former thrift subsidiary, First Heights Holding Corp, LLC (“First Heights”) is classified as a discontinued operation. The Company also has a mortgage banking company, Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), which is a subsidiary of Pulte Home Corporation.
          The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Reclassification
          Certain amounts previously reported in the 2005 financial statements and notes thereto were reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. The Mexico homebuilding operations, which were sold in December 2005, have been presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Restatement
          Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company expanded its disclosure of reportable segments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company had historically aggregated its homebuilding operating segments into a single reportable segment, but has expanded its segment disclosure to include seven reportable homebuilding segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 (see Note 2). Amounts reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 have been restated to conform to the expanded segment disclosure presentation. This restatement has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, consolidated statements of operations and related earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 or its consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

     Land Valuation Adjustments and Write-Offs
     Impairment of long-lived assets
     In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company records these valuation adjustments in its Consolidated Statements of Operations within Homebuilding expense, which includes home cost of sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $48.4 million and $4 million, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $57.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.
Net realizable value adjustments – land held for sale
     In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company values long-lived assets held for sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company records these net realizable value adjustments in its Consolidated Statements of Operations within Homebuilding expense, which includes land cost of sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company recognized net realizable value adjustments related to land held for sale of $6.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company recognized $28.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs
     From time to time, the Company writes off certain deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue. The Company wrote off deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $32.6 million and $7.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $68.4 million and $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs for land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue are recorded within its Consolidated Statements of Operations within Homebuilding expense, which includes other income (expense), net.

     Land, not owned, under option agreements
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company will provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as amended by FIN 46-R issued in December 2003 (collectively referred to as “FIN 46”), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity, the Company’s deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. Creditors of the variable interest entities have no recourse against the Company.
     In applying the provisions of FIN 46, the Company evaluated all land option agreements and determined that the Company was subject to a majority of the expected losses or entitled to receive a majority of the expected residual returns under a limited number of these agreements. As the primary beneficiary under these agreements, the Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities at fair value. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company classified $59.1 million and $76.7 million, respectively, as land, not owned, under option agreements on the balance sheet, representing the fair value of land under contract, including deposits of $9.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The corresponding liability has been classified within accrued and other liabilities on the balance sheet.
     Land option agreements that did not require consolidation under FIN 46 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, had a total purchase price of $5.8 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively. In connection with these agreements, the Company had refundable and non-refundable deposits and pre-acquisition costs of $474.4 million and $431.4 million, included in other assets at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
     Allowance for warranties
     Home purchasers are provided with warranties against certain building defects. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary geographically. Most warranties cover different aspects of the home’s construction and operating systems for a period of up to ten years. The Company estimates the costs to be incurred under these warranties and records a liability for the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Stock-based compensation
          The Company currently has several stock-based compensation plans for its employees (“Employee Plans”) and nonemployee directors (the “Director Plan”). At September 30, 2006, the Company had 31.3 million shares authorized for issuing various equity-based incentives including stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, including 11.5 million shares available for future grants.
          Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards under the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company selected the prospective method of adoption as permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Under the prospective method, the Company recognized compensation expense on an accelerated basis over the vesting period based on the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123. Grants made prior to January 1, 2003 were accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. With the exception of certain variable stock option grants, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income for grants made prior to January 1, 2003, as all options granted in those years had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
          As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) was not significant and had no effect on basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
          Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all benefits of the tax deductions resulting from the exercise of share-based compensation as operating cash flows in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires classification of the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) as financing cash flows. As a result, the Company classified $2.7 million of excess tax benefits as financing cash inflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
          The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to all stock based employee compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 (000’s omitted, except per share data):

Stock-based compensation (continued)
          The Company also recorded compensation expense for restricted stock awards, net of related tax effects, of $3.9 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. These amounts have been excluded from the reconciliation above, as they would have no impact on pro forma net income presented.
          The Company measures compensation cost for its stock options at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation cost on the graded vesting method over the vesting period, generally four years. The graded vesting method provides for vesting of portions of the overall awards at interim dates and results in greater expense in earlier years than the straight-line method. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based awards is generally included in selling, general and administrative expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
          The Company’s stock option participant agreements provide continued vesting for certain retirement eligible employees who have achieved a predetermined level of service based on their combined age and years of service. For awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognized the related compensation cost ratably over the nominal vesting period. For awards granted after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company now records related compensation cost over the period through the date the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide services to earn the award.
          The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants made during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

     New accounting pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 reflects the benefit recognition approach, where a tax benefit is recognized when it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based on the technical merits of the position. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This new Statement amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. Due to the short period of time the Company’s servicing rights are held, generally less than four months, the Company does not expect SFAS No. 156 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     The FASB has revised its guidance on SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues as of March 2006. Several Implementation Issues were revised to reflect the issuance of SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” in February 2006. SFAS No. 155 allows any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS No. 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates a prior restriction on the types of passive derivatives that a qualifying special purpose entity is permitted to hold. SFAS No. 155 is applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, though the provisions related to fair value accounting for hybrid financial instruments can also be applied to existing instruments. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 155 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Segment information
          In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company has aggregated its homebuilding operations into seven reportable segments based on similarities in the economic and geographic characteristics of its homebuilding operating segments. The Company had historically aggregated its homebuilding operating segments into a single, reportable segment, but has since revised its segment disclosure to include seven homebuilding reporting segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
          The Company’s homebuilding operating segments are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the continental United States and the construction of housing on such land targeted for first-time, first and second move-up, and active adult home buyers. The Company has determined that its operating segments are its Areas. Accordingly, the Company’s reportable homebuilding segments are an aggregation of its 11 Areas, as follows:
     
Northeast:
  Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Areas include the following states:
 
       Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
 
       New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia
 
   
Southeast:
  Southeast Area includes the following states:
 
       Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
 
   
Florida:
  Florida Area includes the following state:
 
       Florida
 
   
Midwest:
  Great Lakes Area includes the following states:
 
       Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota
 
   
Central:
  Rocky Mountain and Texas Areas include the following states:
 
        Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Texas
 
   
Southwest:
  Arizona and Nevada Areas include the following states:
 
        Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico
 
   
*California:
  Northern California and Southern California Areas include the following state:
 
        California
 
*   Our homebuilding operations located in Reno, Nevada are reported in the California segment, while our remaining Nevada homebuilding operations are reported in the Southwest segment.  
           The Company also has one reportable segment for its financial services operations which consists principally of mortgage banking and title operations conducted through Pulte Mortgage and other Company subsidiaries. The Company’s financial services segment operates generally in the same markets as the Company’s homebuilding segments.
           Evaluation of segment performance is based on operating earnings from continuing operations before provision for income taxes which is defined as home sales (settlements) and land sale revenues less home cost of sales, land cost of sales and certain selling, general and administrative and other expenses, plus equity income from unconsolidated entities, which are incurred by or allocated to our homebuilding segments. Operating earnings for the financial services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with our mortgage operations and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the financial services segment.
           Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

4. Investments in unconsolidated entities
     The Company participates in a number of joint ventures with independent third parties. Many of these joint ventures purchase, develop and/or sell land and homes in the United States and Puerto Rico. If additional capital infusions are required and approved, the Company would need to contribute its pro-rata portion of those capital needs in order not to dilute its ownership in the joint ventures.
     At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $908.9 million and $882.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company’s proportionate share of its joint venture debt was approximately $307.3 million and $293.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the Company provided limited recourse guarantees for $298.1 million of joint venture debt. At December 31, 2005, the Company provided limited recourse debt guarantees of approximately $288.2 million. Accordingly, the Company may be liable, on a contingent basis, through limited guarantees with respect to a portion of the secured land acquisition and development debt. However, the Company would not be liable other than in instances of fraud, misrepresentation or other bad faith actions by the Company, unless the joint venture was unable to perform its contractual borrowing obligations. As of September 30, 2006, the Company does not anticipate the Company will incur any significant costs under these guarantees.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company made additional capital contributions to these joint ventures totaling approximately $53 million and received capital and earnings distributions from these entities totaling approximately $43.8 million. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $249.4 million and $301.6 million, respectively, invested in these joint ventures. These investments are included in the assets of the Company’s homebuilding segments and are primarily accounted for under the equity method.
5. Acquisitions and divestitures
     In February 2006, Pulte Mortgage sold its investment in Hipotecaria Su Casita (“Su Casita”), a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. Remaining shareholders of Su Casita, who exercised their right of first refusal to acquire the shares, purchased Pulte Mortgage’s 16.7% interest for net proceeds of approximately $49.2 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $31.6 million ($20.1 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. During February 2005, 25% of the Company’s investment in the capital stock of Su Casita was redeemed for a pre-tax gain of approximately $620 thousand.
     In January 2006, the Company exercised its option and acquired the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. The Company’s initial investment was made in January 2004 to secure a dedicated building supply trade base for its construction activities in Arizona and Nevada. The aggregate stepped purchase price exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed by approximately $69 million, which was recorded as goodwill. The Company accounted for its initial 50% investment under the equity method. Since January 2006, the Company has consolidated this wholly-owned subsidiary in its financial statements.
     In December 2005, the Company sold substantially all of its Mexico homebuilding operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Mexico operations have been presented as discontinued operations.
     In January 2005, the Company sold all of its Argentina operations, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Argentina operations were presented as discontinued operations in 2004.

6. Debt
     In August 2006, the Company increased the borrowing availability under its 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility from $1.66 billion to $2 billion. The credit facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature, under which the credit facility may be increased to $2.25 billion. The Company has the capacity to issue letters of credit up to $1.125 billion. Borrowing availability is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding. The credit facility contains restrictive covenants, the most restrictive of which requires the Company not to exceed a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 60%, as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $754.3 million of borrowings outstanding and $671.8 million available for borrowing under this facility.
     In May 2006, the Company sold $150 million of 7.375% senior notes, which mature on June 1, 2046, and are guaranteed by Pulte Homes, Inc. and certain of its 100%-owned subsidiaries. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes are redeemable at any time on or after June 1, 2011, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the indebtedness of the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including continued investment in the Company’s business.
     Pulte Mortgage supports its operations through the use of a revolving credit facility and an asset-backed commercial paper conduit. At September 30, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had committed credit arrangements of $955 million comprised of a $405 million bank revolving credit facility and a $550 million asset-backed commercial paper program. In May 2006, Pulte Mortgage amended its bank credit agreement, which included amendments to its restrictive covenants. In August 2006, Pulte Mortgage amended the bank credit agreement related to its asset-backed commercial paper conduit, which also included amendments to its restrictive covenants. Both amended credit agreements now require Pulte Mortgage to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $50 million or eighty-five percent of the average month-end tangible net worth for the last twelve months of the preceding calendar year and funded debt cannot exceed 15 times tangible net worth. At September 30, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had $533.8 million outstanding under its committed credit arrangements.
7. Shareholders’ equity
     Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase authorization in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), the Company has repurchased a total of 9,688,900 shares for a total of $297.7 million. At September 30, 2006, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase $102.3 million of common stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
     As discussed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006, we expanded our disclosures for reportable segments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” We had historically aggregated our homebuilding operating segments into a single reportable segment, but have expanded our segment disclosure to include seven reportable homebuilding segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Amounts reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 have been restated to conform to the expanded segment disclosure presentation. This restatement has no impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, consolidated statements of operations and related earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 or our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Results of Operations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to this restatement. We will be amending our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 for the related impact of this restatement. These restatements will not affect our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for related periods.
Overview
     During the third quarter of 2006, the U.S. housing market was impacted by lack of consumer confidence, decreased housing affordability, and large supplies of resale and new home inventories and related pricing pressures. These factors contributed to weakened demand for new homes, slower sales, higher cancellation rates, and increased price discounts and selling incentives to attract homebuyers, compared with the third quarter of 2005 when we had experienced record growth in our homebuilding operations. As a result, gross margins recorded during the third quarter of 2006 decreased from the same period in the prior year, and the lower backlog of homes at September 30, 2006 reflects lower gross margins expected to be realized in future quarters. During the third quarter of 2006, we recorded $87.7 million of land valuation adjustments and charges for the write-off of deposit and pre-acquisition costs related to land transactions we no longer plan to pursue.
     We continue to operate our business with the expectation that these difficult market conditions will continue to impact us for at least the near term. We have adjusted our approach to land acquisition and construction practices, continuing to shorten our land pipeline, reduce production volumes, and balance home price and profitability with sales pace. We are slowing down planned land purchases and reducing our total number of controlled lots owned and under option. Additionally, we are reducing the number of spec homes put into production. However, we continue to purchase select land positions where it makes economic and strategic sense to do so. We believe that these measures will help to strengthen our market position and allow us to take advantage of opportunities that will develop in the future.

Overview (continued)
     The following is a comparison of pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:
  Homebuilding pre-tax income decreased 54% and 29% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with the same periods in the prior year. Homebuilding settlement revenues decreased 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 but increased 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. The decrease in pre-tax income is due to lower gross margins from geographic and product mix shifts, increased selling incentives and increased construction, land and land development costs. Pre-tax income also declined for the third quarter due to $87.7 million of valuation adjustments to land inventory ($48.4 million) and land held for sale ($6.7 million) and charges for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with land transactions we no longer plan to pursue ($32.6 million). For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded $155 million of valuation adjustments to land inventory ($57.8 million) and land held for sale ($28.8 million) and charges for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with land transactions we no longer plan to pursue ($68.4 million).
 
  Pre-tax income from our financial services business segment increased 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the prior year period. Pre-tax income increased $41.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the prior year period, as we recognized a one-time gain of $31.6 million related to the sale of our investment in Su Casita, a Mexican mortgage banking company, during the first quarter of 2006. Capture rates were 91.1% and 88.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 90.5% and 88.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
  The decrease in non-operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the same period in the prior year, was due primarily to an increase in the amount of interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory.
 
  Loss from discontinued operations included a provision of $1.4 million and $2.3 million, net of taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, resulting from a contractual adjustment related to the December 2005 disposition of our Mexico homebuilding operations. Income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily relates to non-cash, after-tax gains of $7.8 million, realized during the third quarter of 2005, from the favorable resolution of certain tax matters related to our former thrift operation which was discontinued in 1994.

(a)   Domestic homebuilding interest expense, which represents the amortization of capitalized interest, of $65.2 million and $162.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $49.4 million and $121.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, has been included as part of homebuilding cost of sales.
     Homebuilding gross profit margins from home settlements decreased 670 basis points to 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 23.8% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, homebuilding gross profit margins decreased 380 basis points to 20.2%, compared with 24.0% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in gross profit margins is attributable to an unfavorable shift in geographic and product mix, increased selling incentives and higher material, labor, land and land development costs. In addition, valuation adjustments of $48.4 million and $57.8 million were taken during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, related to land and community impairments. The overall decrease in gross profit margins was partially offset by margin improvements of 80 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 70 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005, from our January 2006 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. During 2005, income from this entity was recorded as equity income and had no impact on homebuilding gross profit margins.
     We consider land acquisition and entitlement among our core competencies. We acquire land primarily for the construction of our homes for sale to homebuyers. We will often sell select parcels of land within or adjacent to our communities to retail and commercial establishments. On occasion, we also will sell lots within our communities to other homebuilders. Gross profits from land sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 had a negative margin contribution of $3.4 million, compared with a positive margin contribution of $1.4 million for the same period in 2005. Gross profits from land sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 had a negative margin contribution of $18 million, compared with a positive margin contribution of $8.9 million for the same period in 2005. The gross profit contribution from specific land sales transactions was approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the three and nine months of 2006, land cost of sales also included a $6.7 million and $28.8 million fair market value adjustment related to commercial and residential land held for disposition, primarily in the Midwest and Central reporting segments. Revenues and their related gains/losses may vary significantly between periods, depending on the timing of land sales. We continue to evaluate our existing land positions to ensure the most effective use of capital. As of September 30, 2006, we had $447.4 million of land held for sale.

Homebuilding Operations – Summary (continued)
     Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of home settlement revenues was 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with 7.3% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home settlement revenues was 8.6% compared with 8.5% for the same period in the prior year.
     The decrease in equity income of $13.5 million and $50.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the prior year periods, is primarily the result of our January 2006 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. As a result of this acquisition, we own 100% of this entity, which is consolidated in our financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, earnings from this investment were recorded in equity income. In addition, earnings from our 50% investment in a Nevada-based joint venture, related to the sale of commercial and residential properties, decreased as the venture substantially completed its operations during 2005.
     Net expenses, as shown in other income (expense), net, increased $20.8 million and $37.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005. This increase in net expenses was primarily due to $32.6 million and $68.4 million of charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs for land option contracts we no longer plan to exercise, partially offset by customer deposit income, compared with $7.3 million and $13 million, respectively, of write-offs recognized during the same periods in 2005.
     Unit settlements decreased 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, to 10,440 units and decreased 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 28,921 units, compared with the same periods in 2005. The average selling price for homes closed increased to $335,000 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Changes in average selling price reflect a number of factors, including changes in market selling prices and the mix of product closed during each period. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, unit net new orders decreased 39% to 7,299 units, compared with the same period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, unit net new orders decreased 27% to 27,479 units, compared with the same period in 2005. Net new orders were impacted by the closeout of several large, established communities, where the replacement communities are still in the early phases of development. In addition, rising home prices, higher interest rates, and increased resale home inventories have negatively affected demand for new homes. Cancellation rates for the quarter were approximately 36%, compared with 17% for the same period in 2005, while year to date cancellation rates were 28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 16% for the same period in 2005. Most markets have experienced a substantial increase in resale home inventory, and this, combined with declining consumer confidence, has resulted in higher cancellation rates and reduced net new orders during 2006. The dollar value of net new orders decreased 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and decreased 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005. However, while net new order dollars decreased year-over-year, selling prices remained stable in many of our markets. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we had 720 active selling communities, an increase of 9% from the same period in the prior year. Ending backlog, which represents orders for homes that have not yet closed, was 16,375 units at September 30, 2006 with a dollar value of $5.8 billion.
     At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our Homebuilding operations controlled approximately 293,600 and 362,600 lots, respectively. Approximately 182,700 and 173,800 lots were owned, and approximately 88,100 and 133,400 lots were under option agreements approved for purchase at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, there were approximately 22,800 and 55,400 lots under option agreements, pending approval, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we withdrew from land contracts representing approximately 18,300 lots and 57,700 lots, respectively, valued at $801.2 million and $2.6 billion, respectively. We believe that the depth of our existing land supply, coupled with our entitlement expertise, will enable us to continue opening new communities during the course of 2006 and beyond.
     The total purchase price related to approved land under option for use by our Homebuilding operations at future dates approximated $5 billion at September 30, 2006. In addition, total purchase price related to land under option pending approval was valued at approximately $860.3 million at September 30, 2006. Land option agreements, which may be cancelled at our discretion, may extend over several years and are secured by deposits and pre- acquisition costs totaling $483.5 million, of which $27.6 million is refundable and $16.9 million is related to deposits that our Homebuildng operations have made in regards to lots optioned from an unconsolidated joint venture in which we have an equity interest. This balance excludes $131.9 million of contingent payment obligations which may or may not become actual obligations of the Company.

Homebuilding Operations – Summary (continued)
     Controlled lots, at September 30, 2006, decreased by 69,000 lots or 19% from December 31, 2005. The decrease in controlled lots can be attributed to actions we have taken to reduce our incremental future land investment as a result of current conditions affecting the homebuilding industry. During the second and third quarters of 2006, we delayed entering into new land option contracts, renegotiated certain land option contracts, and cancelled certain other land option contracts. We continue to review land option contracts to ensure that the terms meet our investment criteria and strategic goals in the current business environment.

Northeast:
               
           During the third quarter of 2006, our Northeast operations experienced weakened demand for new homes primarily as a result of increases in existing home inventories. Net new orders for the third quarter of 2006 decreased 37% to 672 units, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased 34% to 2,190 units, compared with the same periods in 2005. Unit cancellations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were comparable to 2005, however, the reduced new order sign-up activity resulted in higher cancellation rates. For the quarter, cancellation rates were approximately 27% compared with 14% for the same period in 2005, while year to date cancellation rates were 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 13% for the same period in 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, operating results were negatively impacted by $10 million of land valuation adjustments taken in the Metro New York/New Jersey and Long Island markets as well as higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, we recorded $3.2 million of net realizable value adjustments for land held for sale and $11.9 million ($16.1 million year to date) for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue, resulting in a reduction of approximately 1,900 lots controlled (6,100 year to date). There were no significant land valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during the same periods in 2005.
Southeast:
           During the third quarter of 2006, our Southeast operations contributed positively to our Homebuilding operating results, evidenced by increased revenues, higher average selling prices and profits compared with prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, net new orders decreased 31% to 821 units and remained relatively unchanged at 3,917 units, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005. The reduction in new orders during the third quarter of 2006 contributed to the increase in cancellation rates. Cancellation rates for the quarter were approximately 35% compared with 19% for the same period in 2005, while cancellation rates were 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 17% for the same period in 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as we continue to align our operations to meet current market conditions. There were no significant land related valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during 2006 and 2005 in our Southeast markets.

Homebuilding Segment Operations (continued)
     Florida:
     During the third quarter of 2006, our Florida operations experienced weakened demand largely attributable to declines in Orlando and Naples. During the third quarter and year to date 2006, Florida has experienced high cancellation rates and pricing pressures associated with excess inventories and aggressive sales incentives offered by competitors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, net new orders decreased 61% to 818 units and 45% to 3,732 units, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005. For the third quarter and year to date 2006, increased cancellation rates were attributable to lower new order sign-up activity and increased cancellations in all markets. Cancellation rates for the quarter were approximately 41% compared with 12% for the same period in 2005, while year to date cancellation rates were 28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 11% for the same period in 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the third quarter of 2006, as we continue to align our operations to meet current market conditions. During the third quarter of 2006, we recorded valuation adjustments of $1 million related to land inventory and charges of $6.2 million ($7.5 million year to date) for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue in Jacksonville and Southeast Florida, resulting in a reduction of approximately 3,900 lots controlled (6,700 year to date). There were no significant land valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during the same periods in 2005.
     Midwest:
     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, net new orders decreased 30% to 1,107 units and 29% to 3,338 units, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005. Unit cancellations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were comparable to 2005. However, reduced new order sign-up activity resulted in higher cancellation rates. Cancellation rates for the quarter were approximately 18% compared with 13% for the same period in 2005, while year to date cancellation rates were 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 12% for the same period in 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, operating results were negatively impacted by land and community valuation adjustments of $11.8 million and $19.9 million, respectively. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, we recorded charges of $7.5 million ($15.9 million year to date) for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue in Minnesota and Illinois, resulting in a reduction of approximately 3,200 lots controlled (12,300 year to date). During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded $5.7 million of net realizable value adjustments for land held for sale, however, there were no such valuation adjustments recorded during the third quarter of 2006. There were no significant land valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during the same periods in 2005.
     Central:
     The Central operations also experienced decreased net new orders for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 35% compared with 22% for the third quarter of 2005, and for the nine months was 28% compared with 20% for the same period in 2005. Revenue from home settlements increased, as unit closings for the third quarter of 2006 were comparable to the same period in 2005, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased from the same period in 2005. Higher average selling prices for both the third quarter and nine months of 2006, compared with 2005, were the result of closings in new communities in both the Texas Area and Colorado. However, the Central reporting segment recorded losses for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with profits during the same periods in 2005. Operating results for the third quarter of 2006 were impacted by valuation adjustments to land inventory of $7.5 million ($8.8 million year to date). In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, we took net realizable value adjustments of $3.3 million ($19.6 million year to date) for land held for sale and charges of $2.7 million ($5.8 million year to date) for write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue, resulting in a reduction of approximately 2,200 lots controlled (6,100 year to date). There were no significant land valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during the same periods of 2005.

Homebuilding Segment Operations (continued)
Southwest:
           The Southwest operations continued to contribute positively to our Homebuilding operating results. However, net new orders were down, and the cancellation rate for the third quarter of 2006 was 43% compared with 16% for the same period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the cancellation rate was 34% compared with 15% for the same period in 2005. Unit settlements and income before income taxes were comparable for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, while average selling prices increased for both periods in 2006. Operating results for the Southwest segment were positively impacted during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 by our January 2006 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems in both Arizona and Nevada. During 2005, income from this entity was recorded as equity income and had no impact on segment pre-tax income. During the third quarter of 2006, we wrote off $1.7 million ($9.1 million year to date) of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue, resulting in a reduction of approximately 5,000 lots controlled (13,600 lots year to date). There were no other significant land valuation adjustments or other write-offs for the Southwest reporting segment during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
California:
           The California operations were impacted by weakened demand for new homes, especially in Sacramento. In addition, the closeout of a large, successful community which contributed significantly to our operations during 2005 impacted the California reporting segment during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, contributing to the decrease in net new orders, closings and average selling price. Cancellation rates were approximately 39% and 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, cancellation rates were 36% and 23%, respectively. Operating results were impacted during the third quarter of 2006 by valuation adjustments to land inventory of $18.1 million in Sacramento and San Diego. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the same periods in the prior year, due to increased advertising and start-up expenses associated with new communities. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2006 was also impacted by charges of $4.5 million ($14.4 million year to date) for the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with transactions we no longer plan to pursue, primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area, resulting in a reduction of approximately 2,200 lots controlled (10,100 year to date). There were no significant land valuation adjustments or write-offs taken during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Financial Services Operations
           We conduct our financial services business, which includes mortgage and title operations, through Pulte Mortgage and other subsidiaries. Pre-tax income of our financial services operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $21.4 million and $85.8 million, respectively, compared with $19 million and $44.7 million, respectively, for the prior year periods. During February 2006, we sold our investment in Su Casita, a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $31.6 million ($20.1 million after-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Excluding the gain related to the sale of Su Casita, pre-tax income increased $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Su Casita contributed pre-tax income from operations of $700 thousand. During February 2005, 25% of our investment in the capital stock of Su Casita was redeemed for a pre-tax gain of approximately $620 thousand.

          Capture rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, were 91.1% and 90.5%, respectively, compared with 88.8% and 88.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, mortgage origination units decreased 8% compared with the same period in the prior year, while principal volume was comparable with the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, mortgage origination unit volume decreased 1%, while principal volume increased 8% over the same period in 2005. The growth in principal volume is due to an increase in the average loan size due to higher average selling prices. Our Homebuilding customers continue to account for the majority of total loan production, representing almost 100% of total Pulte Mortgage unit production for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared with 99% and 98% for the same periods in 2005. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, our homebuilding customers had an average FICO score of 744, compared with 733 and 730 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. At September 30, 2006, loan application backlog decreased to $3.4 billion compared with $5.4 billion at September 30, 2005.
           During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there was a shift away from adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) products, which generally have a lower profit per loan than fixed rate products. ARMs represented 26% of total funded origination dollars and 21% of total funded origination units for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 42% and 37% in the prior year period, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, ARMs represented 31% of total funded origination dollars and 25% of total funded origination units compared with 47% and 41% in the prior year period, respectively. Interest only mortgages, a component of ARMs, represented 79% of ARMs origination dollars and 80% of ARMs origination units for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with 67% and 57% in the prior year period, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest only mortgages represented 77% of ARMs origination dollars and 80% of ARMs origination units, compared with 64% and 53% in the prior year period, respectively.
           Income from our title operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $5.3 million, a slight decrease from the same period in the prior year of $5.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, income from our title operations decreased to $13.2 million from $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
           We hedge portions of our forecasted cash flow from sales of closed mortgage loans with derivative financial instruments to minimize the impact of changes in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Other non-operating
     Other non-operating expenses are incurred for financing, developing and implementing strategic initiatives centered on new business development and operating efficiencies, and providing the necessary administrative support associated with being a publicly traded entity listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, these results will vary from year to year as these strategic initiatives evolve.
     The following table presents other non-operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 ($000’s omitted):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005

Total non-operating expenses
  $ 11,920     $ 24,733     $ 29,456     $ 76,595  
 
                       
     Net interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $12.2 million for the same period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recognized $1.3 million of net interest income, compared with $40.9 million of expense for the same period in the prior year. These variances are the result of an increase in the amount of interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory. The decrease in other corporate expenses, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, is due primarily to decreased compensation-related expense.
     Interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is charged to home cost of sales based on the cyclical timing of our unit settlements over a period that approximates the average life cycle of our communities. Interest in homebuilding inventory increased due to increased amounts of interest capitalized based on our homebuilding inventory and debt levels. Information related to interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is as follows ($000’s omitted):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We finance our homebuilding land acquisitions, development and construction activities from internally generated funds, existing credit agreements, and the sale of securities.
     At September 30, 2006, we had cash and equivalents of $94.6 million and $754.3 million of borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility. We also had $3.5 billion of senior and unsubordinated notes outstanding. Other financing included limited recourse collateralized financing totaling $21.2 million. Sources of our working capital include our cash and equivalents, our $2 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility and Pulte Mortgage’s $955 million committed credit arrangements.
     Our debt-to-total capitalization, excluding our collateralized debt, was approximately 39.5% at September 30, 2006, and was approximately 39% net of cash and equivalents. We routinely monitor current operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources, including securities offerings.
     In August 2006, we increased our borrowing availability under our 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility from $1.66 billion to $2 billion. The credit facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature, under which the credit facility may be increased to $2.25 billion. We have the capacity to issue letters of credit up to $1.125 billion. Borrowing availability is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding. The credit facility contains restrictive covenants, the most restrictive of which requires the Company not to exceed a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 60%, as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2006, we had $754.3 million of borrowings outstanding and $671.8 million available for borrowing under this facility.
     Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of our home sales and uses its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to various committed and uncommitted credit arrangements. At September 30, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had committed credit arrangements of $955 million comprised of a $405 million bank revolving credit facility and a $550 million asset-backed commercial paper program. In May 2006, Pulte Mortgage amended its bank credit agreement, which included amendments to its restrictive covenants. In August 2006, Pulte Mortgage amended the bank credit agreement related to its asset-backed commercial paper conduit, which also included amendments to its restrictive covenants. Both amended credit agreements now require Pulte Mortgage to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $50 million or eighty-five percent of the average month-end tangible net worth for the last twelve months of the preceding calendar year and funded debt cannot exceed 15 times tangible net worth. At September 30, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had $533.8 million outstanding under its committed credit arrangements.
     Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase authorization in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), we have repurchased a total of 9,688,900 shares for a total of $297.7 million. At September 30, 2006, we have remaining authorization to purchase common stock aggregating $102.3 million.
     At September 30, 2006, our effective tax rate was 36.6% compared with 37.4% at September 30, 2005. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2006 will be approximately 36.6%. The lower income tax rate for the third quarter 2006 was due primarily to an adjustment for the §199 manufacturing deduction, a change in the overall state tax rate associated with the geographical mix in income and certain other tax matters.
     Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.3 billion, compared with $499.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net income for both years was offset primarily by significant investments in land and house inventory necessary to support our continuing business operations.
     Cash used in investing activities was $103.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $84.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we invested approximately $65.8 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase the remaining 50% of an entity that installs basic building components and operating systems. In addition, we received cash of $49.2 million for the sale of our investment in Su Casita, a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. Also, we made $53 million of capital contributions to and received $37.5 million in capital distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Further, we incurred approximately $78.4 million in capital expenditures.
     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $462.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $484.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Proceeds from borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $964.3 million and was comprised of $754.3 million for our unsecured revolving credit facility, $60 million of net proceeds received by our homebuilding markets, and issuance of $150 million of senior notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the net decrease in Pulte Mortgage’s credit arrangements was approximately $359.2 million. Additionally, we paid $119.5 million for stock repurchases and paid $30.7 million in dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
     In May 2006, we sold $150 million of 7.375% senior notes, which mature on June 1, 2046, which are guaranteed by us and certain of our 100%-owned subsidiaries. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes are redeemable at any time on or after June 1, 2011, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the indebtedness of our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including continued investment in our business.
Inflation
     We, and the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation also increases our financing, labor and material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass to our customers any increases in our costs through increased sales prices. To date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate outstanding debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures was $908.9 million and $882.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our proportionate share of our joint venture debt was approximately $307.3 million and $293.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006, we provided limited recourse guarantees for $298.1 million of joint venture debt while we provided limited recourse debt guarantees of approximately $288.2 million at December 31, 2005. Accordingly, we may be liable, on a contingent basis, through limited guarantees with respect to a portion of the secured land acquisition and development debt. However, we would not be liable other than in instances of fraud, misrepresentation or other bad faith actions by us, unless the joint venture was unable to perform its contractual borrowing obligations. As of September 30, 2006, we do not anticipate we will incur any significant costs under these guarantees.
     If additional capital infusions are required and approved by our unconsolidated joint ventures, we would need to contribute our pro-rata portion of those capital needs in order not to dilute our ownership in the joint ventures.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with those disclosed in Item 7, 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, 2005.
Outlook
     Given the ongoing weakness in new home sales and closings, visibility as to future earnings performance is limited. At this time, we estimate our fourth quarter 2006 earnings in the range of $0.30 to $0.70 per diluted share, inclusive of potential pre-tax land-related valuation adjustments and other write-offs of up to $150 million, which may be recorded in future periods only if market conditions continue to erode beyond our current expectations. However, these additional land valuation adjustments are not a certainty. Our outlook is tempered with caution, as conditions in many of the markets we serve across the United States have become more challenging in recent months, as further discussed in the Overview section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In July 2006, our 50%-owned, unconsolidated joint venture located in Northern California received a civil liability complaint from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Sections 13376 and 13385 of the Clean Water Act and California Water Code. The complaint seeks information about storm water discharge practices in connection with homebuilding projects completed or underway by our joint venture and proposes an administrative civil liability of $900,000. Our joint venture has entered into settlement negotiations with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to resolve this matter. Those negotiations resulted in a settlement between the parties that is conditioned upon the Regional Board’s adoption of the proposed Administrative Civil Liability Order. The proposed settlement, dated October 31, 2006, supports the assessment of administrative civil liability under the California Water Code §13385(c) in the amount of $700,000. As of September 30, 2006 our joint venture has accrued for costs associated with the resolution of this matter. Accordingly, we have recorded our 50% proportionate share of the joint venture loss at September 30, 2006.
