STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2013

1.       Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard Pacific Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q.  Certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Pursuant to ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for the period ended March 31, 2013.

Certain items in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Standard Pacific Corp. and its subsidiaries.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2013-02 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and our adoption of this new provision of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.       Segment Reporting

We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.

Our homebuilding operations construct and sell single-family attached and detached homes.  In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, our homebuilding operating segments have been grouped into three reportable segments: California; Southwest, consisting of our operating divisions in Arizona, Texas, Colorado and Nevada; and Southeast, consisting of our operating divisions in Florida and the Carolinas.

6

 Our mortgage financing operation provides mortgage financing to our homebuyers in substantially all of the markets in which we operate, and sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market.  Our title service operation provides title examinations for our homebuyers in Texas.  Our mortgage financing and title services operations are included in our financial services reportable segment, which is separately reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements under “Financial Services.”

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as accounting, finance and treasury, information technology, insurance and risk management, litigation, marketing and human resources.  Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support us as a publicly traded company.  All of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to each of our operating divisions based on their respective percentage of revenues.

Segment financial information relating to the Company’s homebuilding operations was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Homebuilding revenues:
California	$	199,190	$	115,370

Corporate		771,870		842,705
Total homebuilding assets	$	2,983,080	$	2,969,978

4.       Earnings Per Common Share

 We compute earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires earnings per share for each class of stock (common stock and participating preferred stock) to be calculated using the two-class method.  The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company's participating security holders.  Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

 Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of basic common stock outstanding.  Our Series B junior participating convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into shares of our common stock at the holder’s option (subject to a limitation based upon voting interest), and our unvested restricted stock, are classified as participating securities in accordance with ASC 260.  Net income allocated to the holders of our Series B Preferred Stock and unvested restricted stock is calculated based on

7

the shareholders’ proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards and unvested restricted stock using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method, and Series B Preferred Stock and convertible debt using the if-converted method.  Under the two-class method of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is reallocated to common stock, the Series B Preferred stock and all dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.  In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the two-class method and if-converted method for the Series B Preferred Stock resulted in the same earnings per share amounts as the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock has the same economic rights as the holders of the common stock.

The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share.

Diluted	$	0.05		$	0.02

5.      Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.

Total compensation expense recognized related to stock-based compensation was $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $8.6 million, with a weighted average period over which the remaining unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recorded of approximately 1.8 years.

6.       Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2013, restricted cash included $30.0 million of cash held in cash collateral accounts primarily related to certain letters of credit that have been issued and a portion related to our financial services subsidiary mortgage credit facilities ($27.6 million of homebuilding restricted cash and $2.4 million of financial services restricted cash).

7.       Inventories

 a.  Inventories Owned

 Inventories owned consisted of the following at:

	March 31, 2013
	California		Southwest		Southeast		Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Land and land under development	$	752,155	$	376,589	$	322,218	$	1,450,962
Homes completed and under construction		267,433		109,036		118,641		495,110
Model homes		67,697		18,766		17,167		103,630
Total inventories owned	$	1,087,285	$	504,391	$	458,026	$	2,049,702
	December 31, 2012
	California		Southwest		Southeast		Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Land and land under development	$	778,419	$	352,705	$	313,037	$	1,444,161
Homes completed and under construction		240,236		93,265		93,695		427,196
Model homes		67,504		15,231		17,326		100,061
Total inventories owned	$	1,086,159	$	461,201	$	424,058	$	1,971,418

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), we record impairment losses on inventories when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired, and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts.  Inventories that are determined to be impaired are written down to their estimated fair value.  We calculate the fair value of a project under a land residual value analysis and in certain cases in conjunction with a discounted cash flow analysis.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the total number of projects included in inventories-owned and reviewed for impairment were 293 and 261, respectively.  Based on the impairment review, we did not record any inventory impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 b. Inventories Not Owned

Inventories not owned consisted of the following at:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2013		2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Land purchase and lot option deposits	$	26,556	$	23,803
Other lot option contracts, net of deposits		45,463		47,492
Total inventories not owned	$	72,019	$	71,295

 Under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), a non-refundable deposit paid to an entity is deemed to be a variable interest that will absorb some or all of the entity’s expected losses if they occur.  Our land purchase and lot option deposits generally represent our maximum exposure to the land seller if we elect not to purchase the optioned property.  In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to optioned land prior to takedown.  Such

9

costs are classified as inventories owned, which we would have to absorb should we not exercise the option.  Therefore, whenever we enter into a land option or purchase contract with an entity and make a non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) may have been created.  As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, we were not required to consolidate any VIEs related to land option or purchase contracts.  In accordance with ASC 810, we perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  Other lot option contracts noted in the table above represent specific performance obligations where the land option contract contains a binding obligation requiring us to complete the lot purchases.

8.       Capitalization of Interest

We follow the practice of capitalizing interest to inventories owned during the period of development and to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”).  Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories owned is included in cost of sales as related units or lots are sold.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures is included as a reduction of income from unconsolidated joint ventures when the related homes or lots are sold to third parties.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated land development joint ventures is transferred to inventories owned if the underlying lots are purchased by us.  To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred by us.  Qualified assets represent projects that are actively selling or under development as well as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.  During the 2013 first quarter, our qualified assets exceeded our debt, and as of March 31, 2013, the amount of our qualified assets in excess of our debt was $186.4 million.  As a result, all of our interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was capitalized in accordance with ASC 835.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we expensed $2.5 million of interest costs related to the portion of our debt in excess of our qualified assets in accordance with ASC 835.

The following is a summary of homebuilding interest capitalized to inventories owned and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, amortized to cost of sales and loss from unconsolidated joint ventures and expensed as interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

9.       Investments in Unconsolidated Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

The table set forth below summarizes the combined statements of operations for our unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Revenues	$	17,192		$	2,599
Cost of sales and expenses		(14,870	)		(2,699	)
Income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures	$	2,322		$	(100	)
Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations	$	1,134		$	(1,522	)

Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income (loss) of these unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily attributable to our share of income (loss) related to our California joint ventures, which was allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, all of our unconsolidated joint ventures were reviewed for impairment.  Based on the impairment review, no joint venture projects were determined to be impaired for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.

The table set forth below summarizes the combined balance sheets for our unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2013		2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash	$	12,107	$	15,627
Inventories		147,942		129,477
Other assets		10,673		10,783
Total assets	$	170,722	$	155,887
Liabilities and Equity:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	5,401	$	5,796
Non-recourse debt		16,410		―
Standard Pacific equity		50,183		51,173
Other members' equity		98,728		98,918
Total liabilities and equity	$	170,722	$	155,887
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets	$	53,024	$	52,443

In some cases our net investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures is not equal to our proportionate share of equity reflected in the table above primarily because of differences between asset impairments that we recorded in prior periods against our joint venture investments and the impairments recorded by the applicable joint venture.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were in California.  Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures also included approximately $7.6 million and $6.9 million of homebuilding interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which capitalized interest is not included in the combined balance sheets above.

11

Our investments in these unconsolidated joint ventures may represent a variable interest in a VIE depending on, among other things, the economic interests of the members of the entity and the contractual terms of the arrangement.  We analyze all of our unconsolidated joint ventures under the provisions of ASC 810 to determine whether these entities are deemed to be VIEs, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  As of March 31, 2013, all of our homebuilding and land development joint ventures with unrelated parties were determined under the provisions of ASC 810 to be unconsolidated joint ventures either because they were not deemed to be VIEs, or, if they were a VIE, we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

10.     Warranty Costs

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related homebuilding revenues are recognized.  Amounts accrued are based upon historical experience.  Indirect warranty overhead salaries and related costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred.  We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis and adjust the amounts recorded if necessary.  Our warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in our warranty accrual are detailed in the table set forth below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Warranty accrual, beginning of the period	$	15,514			$	17,572
Warranty costs accrued during the period		414				334
Warranty costs paid during the period		(796	)			(938	)
Warranty accrual, end of the period	$	15,132			$	16,968

11.     Revolving Credit Facility and Letter of Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2013, we were party to a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), of which $320 million matures in October 2015 and $30 million matures in February 2014.  The Revolving Facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased up to $550 million (subject to the availability of additional bank commitments and certain other conditions).  As of March 31, 2013, the Revolving Facility contained financial covenants, including, but not limited to, (i) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum net homebuilding leverage ratio and (iv) a maximum land not under development to tangible net worth ratio.  This facility also contains a borrowing base provision, which limits the amount we may borrow or keep outstanding under the facility, and also contains a limitation on our investments in joint ventures.  Interest rates charged under the Revolving Facility include LIBOR and prime rate pricing options.  As of March 31, 2013 we satisfied the conditions that would allow us to borrow up to $350.0 million under the facility and had no amounts outstanding.

As of March 31, 2013, we were party to two committed letter of credit facilities totaling $11 million, of which $7.2 million was outstanding.  In addition, as of such date, we also had a $30 million uncommitted letter of credit facility, of which $19.5 million was outstanding.  These facilities require cash collateralization and have maturity dates ranging from September 2013 to November 2013.  As of March 31, 2013 these facilities were secured by cash collateral deposits of $27.1 million.  Upon maturity, we may renew or enter into new letter of credit facilities with the same or other financial institutions.

12.     Secured Project Debt and Other Notes Payable

Our secured project debt and other notes payable consist of seller non-recourse financing and community development district and similar assessment district bond financings used to finance land

12

acquisition, development and infrastructure costs for which we are responsible.  At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $4.4 million outstanding in secured project debt and other notes payable.   

13.     Senior Notes Payable

Senior notes payable consisted of the following at:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2013		2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
6¼% Senior Notes due April 2014	$	4,971	$	4,971
7% Senior Notes due August 2015		29,789		29,789
10¾% Senior Notes due September 2016, net of discount		266,585		265,823
8⅜% Senior Notes due May 2018, net of premium		579,651		579,832
8⅜% Senior Notes due January 2021, net of discount		397,151		397,087
1¼% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2032		253,000		253,000
	$	1,531,147	$	1,530,502

The senior notes payable described above are all senior obligations and rank equally with our other existing senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, pursuant to a “make whole” formula. These notes contain various restrictive covenants.  Our 10¾% Senior Notes due 2016 contain our most restrictive covenants, including a limitation on additional indebtedness and a limitation on restricted payments.  Outside of the specified categories of indebtedness that are carved out of the additional indebtedness limitation (including a carve-out for up to $1.1 billion in credit facility indebtedness), the Company must satisfy at least one of two conditions (either a maximum leverage condition or a minimum interest coverage condition) to incur additional indebtedness.  The Company must also satisfy at least one of these two conditions to make restricted payments.  Restricted Payments include dividends and investments in and advances to our joint ventures and other unrestricted subsidiaries.  Our ability to make restricted payments is also subject to a basket limitation.  As of March 31, 2013, we were able to incur additional indebtedness and make restricted payments because we satisfied the maximum leverage condition.  Many of our 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guaranty our outstanding senior notes.  The guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several.  Please see Note 21 for supplemental financial statement information about our guarantor subsidiaries group and non-guarantor subsidiaries group.

The 1¼% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Convertible Notes”) will mature on August 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.  The holders may at any time convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 123.7662 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.08 per share), subject to adjustment.  On or after August 5, 2017 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being redeemed.  On each of August 1, 2017, August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2027, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased.

14.     Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2013, we had 450,829 shares of Series B junior participating convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) outstanding, which are convertible into 147.8 million shares of our common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which our Series B Preferred Stock is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 by the applicable conversion price ($3.05, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of our common stock provided that no holder, with its affiliates, may beneficially own total voting power of our voting stock in excess of 49%.  The Series B Preferred Stock also mandatorily converts into our common stock upon its sale, transfer or other disposition by MP CA

13

Homes LLC (“MatlinPatterson”) or its affiliates to an unaffiliated third party.  The Series B Preferred Stock votes together with our common stock on all matters upon which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to such number of votes as the number of shares of our common stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, provided that the aggregate votes attributable to such shares with respect to any holder of Series B Preferred Stock (including its affiliates), taking into consideration any other voting securities of the Company held by such stockholder, cannot exceed more than 49% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive only those dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  As of March 31, 2013, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 89.4 million shares of common stock owned by MatlinPatterson represented approximately 65% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.

15.     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We account for derivatives and certain hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).  ASC 815 establishes the accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and to measure these instruments at fair market value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair market value of derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations or recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings, depending on the purpose of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment.

Our policy is to designate at a derivative’s inception the specific assets, liabilities or future commitments being hedged and monitor the derivative to determine if the derivative remains an effective hedge. The effectiveness of a derivative as a hedge is based on a high correlation between changes in the derivative’s value and changes in the value of the underlying hedged item.  We recognize gains or losses for amounts received or paid when the underlying transaction settles.  We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2013, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets related to interest rate swap agreements that we terminated in December 2010.  These swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting treatment prior to their termination and the related gain or loss was deferred, net of tax, in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The cost associated with the early unwind of the interest rate swap agreements is being amortized as a component of our interest incurred through May 2013.  For each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded after-tax other comprehensive income of $1.6 million related to the swap agreements.

16.     Mortgage Credit Facilities

At March 31, 2013, we had $93.3 million outstanding under our mortgage financing subsidiary’s mortgage credit facilities.  These mortgage credit facilities consist of a $75 million repurchase facility with one lender, maturing in July 2013, and a $25 million repurchase facility with another lender, maturing in September 2013.  These facilities require Standard Pacific Mortgage to maintain cash collateral accounts, which totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2013, and also contain financial covenants which require Standard Pacific Mortgage to, among other things, maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, not to exceed a debt to tangible net worth ratio, maintain a minimum liquidity amount based on a measure of total assets (inclusive of the cash collateral requirement), and satisfy pretax income (loss) requirements.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage was in compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in these facilities.

17.     Disclosures about Fair Value

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Further, ASC 820 requires us to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

•      Level 1 – quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

•      Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•      Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Mortgage loans held for sale have been measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820 for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
			Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	As of		Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs
Description	March 31, 2013		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
		(Dollars in thousands)
Mortgage loans held for sale	$	122,067	$	―	$	122,067	$	―

Mortgage loans held for saleconsist of FHA, VA, USDA and agency first mortgages on single-family residences which are eligible for sale to FNMA/FHLMC, GNMA or other investors, as applicable.  Fair values of these loans are based on quoted prices from third party investors when preselling loans.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments for which we have not elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments:

		March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
Description	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
		(Dollars in thousands)
Financial services assets:
Mortgage loans held for investment, net	Level 2	$	9,716	$	9,716	$	9,923	$	9,923
Homebuilding liabilities:
Senior notes payable, net	Level 2	$	1,531,147	$	1,859,779	$	1,530,502	$	1,803,202

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment – Fair value of these loans is based on the estimated market value of the underlying collateral based on market data and other factors for similar type properties as further adjusted to reflect the estimated net realizable value of carrying the loans through disposition.

Senior Notes Payable – The senior notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were estimated based upon the values of their last trade at the end of the period.

15

The fair value of our cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, secured project debt and other notes payable, mortgage credit facilities and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

18.     Commitments and Contingencies

a.  Land Purchase and Option Agreements

We are subject to obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved homesites. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit or delivery of a letter of credit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and third-party financial entities as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at predetermined prices.  We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit or by repaying amounts drawn under our letter of credit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller, although in certain instances, the land seller has the right to compel us to purchase a specified number of lots at predetermined prices.  Also, in a few instances where we have entered into option contracts with third party financial entities, we have generally entered into construction agreements that do not terminate even if we elect not to exercise our option.  In these instances, we are generally obligated to complete land development improvements on the optioned property at a predetermined cost (paid by the option provider) and are responsible for all cost overruns.  At March 31, 2013, we had no option contracts outstanding with third party financial entities.

In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to our land purchase and option contracts prior to purchase, which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land.  At March 31, 2013, we had non-refundable cash deposits outstanding of approximately $20.4 million and capitalized preacquisition and other development and construction costs of approximately $2.0 million relating to land purchase and option contracts having a total remaining purchase price of approximately $200.3 million.  Approximately $28.3 million of the remaining purchase price is included in inventories not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our utilization of option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries, general housing market conditions, and geographic preferences.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

b.  Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

Our joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and construction financing designed to reduce the use of funds from corporate financing sources.  As of March 31, 2013, we held membership interests in 19 homebuilding and land development joint ventures, of which seven were active and 12 were inactive or winding down.  As of such date, one joint venture had $16.4 million of seller non-recourse debt outstanding that is scheduled to mature in December 2013.  In addition, as of March 31, 2013, our joint ventures had $2.7 million of surety bonds outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us and had an estimated $0.2 million remaining in cost to complete.

16

 c.  Surety Bonds

We obtain surety bonds in the normal course of business to ensure completion of the infrastructure of our projects.  At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $346.2 million in surety bonds outstanding (exclusive of surety bonds related to our joint ventures), with respect to which we had an estimated $190.1 million remaining in cost to complete.

d.  Mortgage Loans and Commitments

We commit to making mortgage loans to our homebuyers through our mortgage financing subsidiary, Standard Pacific Mortgage.  Standard Pacific Mortgage sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market and finances these loans under its mortgage credit facilities for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days), as investors complete their administrative review of applicable loan documents.  Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were committed to borrowers totaled approximately $75.2 million at March 31, 2013 and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.5%.  Interest rate risks related to these obligations are mitigated through the preselling of loans to investors.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage had approximately $119.4 million in closed mortgage loans held for sale and $77.8 million of mortgage loans that we were committed to sell to investors subject to our funding of the loans and completion of the investors’ administrative review of the applicable loan documents.

Standard Pacific Mortgage sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market, with servicing rights released on a non-recourse basis.  This sale is subject to Standard Pacific Mortgage’s obligation to repay its gain on sale if the loan is prepaid by the borrower within a certain time period following such sale, or to repurchase the loan if, among other things, the purchaser’s underwriting guidelines are not met, or there is fraud in connection with the loan.  As of March 31, 2013, we had incurred an aggregate of $10.2 million in losses related to loan repurchases and make-whole payments we had been required to make on the $7.4 billion total dollar value of the loans we originated from the beginning of 2004 through the end of the first quarter of 2013.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Standard Pacific Mortgage recorded loan loss expense related to indemnification and repurchase allowances of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage had indemnity and repurchase allowances related to loans sold of approximately $3.0 million.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Standard Pacific Mortgage made make-whole payments totaling approximately $0.6 million related to eight loans and $0.3 million related to one loan, respectively.

e.  Insurance and Litigation Accruals

Insurance and litigation accruals are established with respect to estimated future claims cost.  We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from construction-related claims.  We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations.  However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy.  We record allowances to cover our estimated costs of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts under these policies and estimated costs for claims that may not be covered by applicable insurance or indemnities.  Our total insurance and litigation accruals as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $58.1 million and $57.2 million, respectively, which are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Estimation of these accruals include consideration of our claims history, including current claims, estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and potential for recovery of costs from insurance and other sources.  We utilize the services of an independent third party actuary to assist us with evaluating the level of our insurance and litigation accruals.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in determining these estimated accrual amounts, actual future claim costs could differ from our currently estimated amounts.

17

19.     Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).  ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.

Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740.  We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable.  Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our utilization experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and tax planning alternatives.

As of March 31, 2013, we had a $464.0 million deferred tax asset which was partially offset by a valuation allowance of $22.7 million relating primarily to potential Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) limitations that expire during the 2013 second quarter and to state net operating loss carryforwards.  Our deferred tax asset included $285.6 million of tax effected net operating loss carryforwards, of which $149.6 million (or approximately $366.0 million and $429.2 million, respectively, of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis) is subject to a $15.6 million gross annual limitation under Section 382.  The remaining $136.0 million (or approximately $282.1 million and $696.2 million, respectively, of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis) is not subject to an annual limitation.

 As of March 31, 2013, our liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $13.5 million, all of which, if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate.  We believe that it is reasonably possible that the full amount of our unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of fiscal 2013 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.  As of March 31, 2013, we remained subject to examination by various tax jurisdictions for the tax years ended December 31, 2008 through 2012.

(1)   Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (loss) (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense, (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges and deposit write-offs, (e) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiary. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as one measure of our ability to service debt and obtain financing. However, it should be noted that Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measure. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operations or any other liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Overview

Our 2013 first quarter reflected a continuation of the positive operating performance we achieved during 2012, resulting from the continued execution of our strategy and the lift we’ve experienced from the housing market recovery.  New home deliveries, net new orders, homebuilding revenues and homes in backlog were up 48%, 49%, 60% and 90%, respectively, as compared to the year earlier period.  Net income for the quarter was $21.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the year earlier period.  Pretax income for the 2013 first quarter was $35.4 million compared to $8.7 million in the year earlier period.  Our average selling price of homes delivered for the 2013 first quarter was $375 thousand, a 9% increase from the prior year period, our gross margin from home sales was 21.0%, a 70 basis point increase, and our SG&A rate from home sales was 13.0%, a 410 basis point improvement.  With $280 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $350 million of availability under our revolving credit facility, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to build our strategic land supply.

Southwest		6,511		1,762

Total homebuilding pretax income (loss)	$	32,936	$	7,281

Homebuilding pretax income for the 2013 first quarter was $32.9 million compared to $7.3 million in the year earlier period.  The improvement in our financial performance was primarily the result of a 61%

24

increase in home sale revenues, a 70 basis point improvement in gross margin from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business.

Revenues

Home sale revenues increased 61%, from $220.3 million for the 2012 first quarter to $355.1 million for the 2013 first quarter, resulting from a 48% increase in new home deliveries and a 9% increase in our consolidated average home price to $375 thousand.

	Carolinas			125	94	33%
		Total Southeast		308	220	40%
			Total	947	642	48%

The increase in new home deliveries was driven primarily by a 49% increase in net new orders and a 70% increase in the number of homes in beginning backlog expected to close during the quarter as compared to the year earlier period.

	Carolinas				254		226	12%
		Total Southeast			257		237	8%
			Total	$	375	$	343	9%

Our consolidated average home price for the 2013 first quarter was up 9%, to $375 thousand, compared to the year earlier period.  This reflects general price increases within most of our markets and a decrease in the use of sales incentives, partially offset by lower average home prices in California compared to the prior year period.  The 1% lower average home price in California reflects the delivery of more luxury homes in Southern California during the 2012 first quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Gross Margin

 Our 2013 first quarter gross margin percentage from home sales increased to 21.0% compared to 20.3% in the 2012 first quarter.  The 70 basis point year over year increase in our gross margin percentage from home sales was primarily attributable to price increases, a mix shift to higher margin communities, and improved margins from speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter.

SG&A Expenses

Our 2013 first quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $46.3 million compared to $37.7 million for the prior year period, down 410 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to

25

13.0%, compared to 17.1% for the 2012 first quarter.  The improvement in our SG&A rate was primarily the result of a 61% increase in home sale revenues and the operating leverage inherent in our business.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 We recognized $1.1 million of income from unconsolidated joint ventures during the 2013 first quarter, primarily attributable to our share of income generated from the sale of 14 homes by these joint ventures during the period.

Other Income (Expense)

 Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was primarily attributable to property insurance claim settlements received during these periods.

(1)   Joint venture homesites represent our expected share of land development joint venture homesites and all of the homesites of our homebuilding joint ventures.

Total homesites owned and controlled as of March 31, 2013 increased 23% from the year earlier period and 4% from the 30,767 homesites owned and controlled as of December 31, 2012.  We purchased $71.5 million of land (1,167 homesites) during the 2013 first quarter, of which 34% (based on homesites) was located in Florida, 31% in California and 26% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout our other markets.  As of March 31, 2013, we owned or controlled 32,123 homesites, of which 20,213 are owned and actively selling or under development, 6,434 are controlled or under option, and the remaining 5,476 homesites are held for future development or for sale.

	Completed and unsold homes (excluding models)		200	349	(43%)

Homes under construction (excluding specs) as of March 31, 2013 increased 134% compared to March 31, 2012, primarily the result of the 90% increase in homes in backlog.  As of March 31, 2013, the number of completed unsold homes decreased 43% from the year earlier period as a result of the shift to more to-be-built homes and a higher conversion rate of spec homes sold and closed during the 2013 first quarter compared to the prior year period.

Financial Services

In the 2013 first quarter our financial services subsidiary reported pretax income of approximately $2.4 million compared to $1.4 million in the year earlier period.  The improvement was driven primarily by a 69% increase in the dollar volume of loans originated and sold and a $0.3 million decrease in loan loss expense related to allowances for loans held for investment.  These changes were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in loan loss reserve expense related to indemnification and repurchase reserves, from $0.3 million for the 2012 first quarter to $0.6 million for the 2013 first quarter, and an increase in personnel expenses as a result of higher production levels in the 2013 first quarter.

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2013, we had a $464.0 million deferred tax asset which was partially offset by a valuation allowance of $22.7 million relating primarily to potential Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) limitations that expire during the 2013 second quarter and to state net operating loss carryforwards that are limited by shorter carryforward periods.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash over the last several years have been for:

·land acquisition ·construction and development ·operating expenses ·principal and interest payments on debt ·cash collateralization

Cash requirements over the last several years have been met by:

·internally generated funds ·bank revolving credit and term loans ·land option contracts and seller notes ·public and private sales of our equity ·public and private note offerings ·joint venture financings ·assessment district bond financings ·letters of credit and surety bonds ·mortgage credit facilities ·tax refunds

For the three months ended March 13, 2013, we used $58.5 million of cash in operating activities versus $42.1 million in the year earlier period.  The increase in cash used in operating activities for the 2013 first quarter as compared to the prior year was driven primarily by a $52.9 million increase in cash land purchase and development costs and a 93% increase in total homes under construction, partially offset by a 60% increase in homebuilding revenues.  As of March 31, 2013, our homebuilding cash balance was $308.0 million (including $27.6 million of restricted cash).

Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, we were party to a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), of which $320 million matures in October 2015 and $30 million matures in February 2014.  The Revolving Facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased up to $550 million (subject to the availability of additional bank commitments and certain other conditions).  Substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guarantors of the Revolving Facility.  Our covenant compliance for the Revolving Facility is set forth in the table below:

Covenant and Other Requirements		Actual at March 31, 2013	Covenant Requirements at March 31, 2013
		(Dollars in millions)
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (1)		$1,287.2	≥	$784.9
Leverage Ratio:
	Net Homebuilding Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Ratio (2)	1.00	≤	2.50
Land Not Under Development Ratio:
	Land Not Under Development to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Ratio (3)	0.26	≤	1.00
Interest Coverage Ratio (4):
	EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Facility) to Consolidated Interest Incurred (5)	1.90	≥	1.00
Investments in Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Consolidated Homebuilding Non-Guarantor Entities (6)		$189.7	≤	$530.5
Actual/Permitted Borrowings under the Revolving Facility (7)		$0	≤	$350.0

____________________

(1)   The minimum covenant requirement amount is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings (without deductions for losses) and proceeds from equity offerings.

(2)   This covenant requirement decreases to 2.25 for the period ending March 31, 2014 and thereafter.  Net Homebuilding Debt represents Consolidated Homebuilding Debt reduced for certain cash balances in excess of $5 million.

(3)   Land not under development is land that has not yet undergone physical site improvement and has not been sold to a homebuyer or other third party.

29

(4)   As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the interest coverage covenant.  However, if we fail to meet the required interest coverage ratio, it is not an event of default but rather upon such occurrence, the amount we can borrow under the Revolving Facility is limited by a mandatory prepayment requirement that limits our permitted borrowings to $100 million plus 90% of the book value of our completed model home inventory.  As of March 31, 2013, if we had not been in compliance with the interest coverage covenant, our permitted borrowings would have been limited to $193.3 million using this formula.

(5)   This covenant requirement increases to 1.25 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2014.  Consolidated Interest Incurred excludes noncash interest expense.

(6)   Net investments in unconsolidated homebuilding joint ventures or consolidated homebuilding non-guarantor entities must not exceed 35% of consolidated tangible net worth plus $80 million.

(7)   As of March 31, 2013 our borrowing base availability was $350.0 million.  

Letter of Credit Facilities.  As of March 31, 2013, we were party to two committed letter of credit facilities totaling $11 million, of which $7.2 million was outstanding.  In addition, as of such date, we also had a $30 million uncommitted letter of credit facility, of which $19.5 million was outstanding.  These facilities require cash collateralization and have maturity dates ranging from September 2013 to November 2013.  As of March 31, 2013 these facilities were secured by cash collateral deposits of $27.1 million.  Upon maturity, we may renew or enter into new letter of credit facilities with the same or other financial institutions.

Senior and Convertible Senior Notes.  As of March 31, 2013, the principal amount outstanding on our senior and convertible senior notes payable consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
6¼% Senior Notes due April 2014	$	4,971
7% Senior Notes due August 2015		29,789
10¾% Senior Notes due September 2016		280,000
8⅜% Senior Notes due May 2018		575,000
8⅜% Senior Notes due January 2021		400,000
1¼% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2032		253,000
	$	1,542,760

 These notes contain various restrictive covenants.  Our 10¾% Senior Notes due 2016 contain our most restrictive covenants, including a limitation on additional indebtedness and a limitation on restricted payments.  Outside of the specified categories of indebtedness that are carved out of the additional indebtedness limitation (including a carve-out for up to $1.1 billion in credit facility indebtedness), the Company must satisfy at least one of two conditions (either a maximum leverage condition or a minimum interest coverage condition) to incur additional indebtedness.  The Company must also satisfy at least one of these two conditions to make restricted payments.  Restricted Payments include dividends and investments in and advances to our joint ventures and other unrestricted subsidiaries.  Our ability to make restricted payments is also subject to a basket limitation. 

 As of March 31, 2013, as illustrated in the table below, we were able to incur additional indebtedness and make restricted payments because we satisfied the maximum leverage condition.   

Covenant Requirements		Actual at March 31, 2013	Covenant Requirements at March 31, 2013
Total Leverage Ratio:
	Indebtedness to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Ratio (1)	1.13		≤    2.25
Interest Coverage Ratio:
	EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) to Consolidated Interest Incurred	1.68		≥    2.00

____________________

(1)   Indebtedness represents consolidated homebuilding debt reduced by cash held by Standard Pacific Corp. and its restricted subsidiaries in excess of $5 million.  As of March 31, 2013, our unrestricted subsidiaries had approximately $165.2 million of unrestricted cash.  As of March 31, 2013, we retained the ability, at our option, to distribute substantially all of this cash to Standard Pacific Corp.  If such a distribution were to occur, the Leverage Ratio would be positively impacted.

30

Our 1¼% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Convertible Notes”) are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis.  The Convertible Notes will mature on August 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.  The holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 123.7662 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.08 per share), subject to adjustment.  On or after August 5, 2017 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being redeemed.  On each of August 1, 2017, August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2027, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased.

 Joint Venture Loans.  As described more particularly under the heading “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”, our land development and homebuilding joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and/or construction financing.  This financing is designed to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  As of March 31, 2013, one joint venture had approximately $16.4 million of seller non-recourse debt outstanding.

 Secured Project Debt and Other Notes Payable.  At March 31, 2013, we had $4.4 million outstanding in secured project debt and other notes payable.  Our secured project debt and other notes payable consist of seller non-recourse financing and community development district and similar assessment district bond financings used to finance land acquisition, development and infrastructure costs for which we are responsible.  

 Mortgage Credit Facilities.  At March 31, 2013, we had $93.3 million outstanding under our mortgage financing subsidiary’s mortgage credit facilities.  These mortgage credit facilities consist of a $75 million repurchase facility with one lender, maturing in July 2013, and a $25 million repurchase facility with another lender, maturing in September 2013.  These facilities require Standard Pacific Mortgage to maintain cash collateral accounts, which totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2013, and also contain financial covenants which require Standard Pacific Mortgage to, among other things, maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, not to exceed a debt to tangible net worth ratio, maintain a minimum liquidity amount based on a measure of total assets (inclusive of the cash collateral requirement), and satisfy pretax income (loss) requirements.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage was in compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in these facilities.

 Surety Bonds.  Surety bonds serve as a source of liquidity for the Company because they are used in lieu of cash deposits and letters of credit that would otherwise be required by governmental entities and other third parties to ensure our completion of the infrastructure of our projects and other performance.  At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $346.2 million in surety bonds outstanding (exclusive of surety bonds related to our joint ventures), with respect to which we had an estimated $190.1 million remaining in cost to complete.

 Availability of Additional Liquidity.  The availability of additional capital, whether from private capital sources (including banks) or the public capital markets, fluctuates as market conditions change.  There may be times when the private capital markets and the public debt or equity markets lack sufficient liquidity or when our securities cannot be sold at attractive prices, in which case we would not be able to access capital from these sources.  A weakening of our financial condition, including in particular, a material increase in our leverage or a decrease in our profitability or cash flows, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary funds, result in a credit rating downgrade or change in outlook, or otherwise increase our cost of borrowing.

 Dividends & Stock Repurchases.  We did not pay dividends or repurchase capital stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

31

 Leverage.  Our homebuilding debt to total book capitalization as of March 31, 2013 was 54.4% and our adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted total book capitalization was 48.8%.  We believe that the adjusted ratio, which reflects the offset of homebuilding cash against debt, is useful to investors as an additional measure of our ability to service debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Land Purchase and Option Agreements

We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved homesites. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit or delivery of a letter of credit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and third-party financial entities as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at predetermined prices.  We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit or by repaying amounts drawn under our letter of credit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller, although in certain instances, the land seller has the right to compel us to purchase a specified number of lots at predetermined prices.  Also, in a few instances where we have entered into option contracts with third party financial entities, we have generally entered into construction agreements that do not terminate even if we elect not to exercise our option.  In these instances, we are generally obligated to complete land development improvements on the optioned property at a predetermined cost (paid by the option provider) and are responsible for all cost overruns.  At March 31, 2013, we had no option contracts outstanding with third party financial entities.

In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to our land purchase and option contracts prior to purchase, which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land.  At March 31, 2013, we had non-refundable cash deposits outstanding of approximately $20.4 million and capitalized pre-acquisition and other development and construction costs of approximately $2.0 million relating to land purchase and option contracts having a total remaining purchase price of approximately $200.3 million.  Approximately $28.3 million of the remaining purchase price is included in inventories not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our utilization of option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries, general housing market conditions, and geographic preferences.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

Historically, we have entered into land development and homebuilding joint ventures from time to time as a means of:

·accessing larger or highly desirable lot positions ·establishing strategic alliances ·leveraging our capital base ·expanding our market opportunities ·managing the financial and market risk associated with land holdings

 These joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and/or construction financing designed to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  As of March 31, 2013, we held membership interests in 19 homebuilding and land development joint ventures, of which seven

32

were active and 12 were inactive or winding down.  As of such date, one joint venture had $16.4 million of seller non-recourse debt outstanding which is scheduled to mature in December 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, we had $2.7 million of joint venture surety bonds outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us and had an estimated $0.2 million remaining in cost to complete.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those that impact our most critical accounting policies.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We believe that the accounting policies related to the following accounts or activities are those that are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require the more significant judgments and estimates:

·   Segment reporting;

·   Inventories and impairments;

·   Stock-based compensation;

·   Homebuilding revenue and cost of sales;

·   Variable interest entities;

·   Unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures;

·   Warranty accruals;

·   Insurance and litigation accruals; and

·   Income taxes.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our rate-locked loan commitments, mortgage loans held for sale and outstanding variable rate debt.  We did not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  Many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”

As part of our ongoing operations, we provide mortgage loans to our homebuyers through our mortgage financing subsidiary, Standard Pacific Mortgage.  Standard Pacific Mortgage manages the interest rate risk associated with making loan commitments to our customers and holding loans for sale by preselling loans.  Preselling loans consists of obtaining commitments (subject to certain conditions) from third party investors to purchase the mortgage loans while concurrently extending interest rate locks to loan applicants.  Before completing the sale to these investors, Standard Pacific Mortgage finances these loans under its mortgage credit facilities for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days), while the investors complete their administrative review of the applicable loan documents.  While preselling these loans reduces risk, we remain subject to risk relating to investor non-performance, particularly during periods of significant market turmoil.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage had approximately $119.4 million in closed mortgage loans held for sale and $77.8 million of mortgage loans that we were committed to sell to investors subject to our funding of the loans and completion of the investors’ administrative review of the applicable loan documents.

ITEM 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), including controls and procedures to timely alert management to material information relating to Standard Pacific Corp. and its subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Note 19 - Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

19.       Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).  ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.

Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740.  We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable.  Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our utilization experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and tax planning alternatives.

As of March 31, 2013, we had a $464.0 million deferred tax asset which was partially offset by a valuation allowance of $22.7 million relating primarily to potential Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) limitations that expire during the 2013 second quarter and to state net operating loss carryforwards.  Our deferred tax asset included $285.6 million of tax effected net operating loss carryforwards, of which $149.6 million (or approximately $366.0 million and $429.2 million, respectively, of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis) is subject to a $15.6 million gross annual limitation under Section 382.  The remaining $136.0 million (or approximately $282.1 million and $696.2 million, respectively, of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis) is not subject to an annual limitation.

As of March 31, 2013, our liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $13.5 million, all of which, if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate.  We believe that it is reasonably possible that the full amount of our unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of fiscal 2013 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.  As of March 31, 2013, we remained subject to examination by various tax jurisdictions for the tax years ended December 31, 2008 through 2012.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

3.        Segment Reporting

We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.

Our homebuilding operations construct and sell single-family attached and detached homes.  In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, our homebuilding operating segments have been grouped into three reportable segments: California; Southwest, consisting of our operating divisions in Arizona, Texas, Colorado and Nevada; and Southeast, consisting of our operating divisions in Florida and the Carolinas.

Our mortgage financing operation provides mortgage financing to our homebuyers in substantially all of the markets in which we operate, and sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market.  Our title service operation provides title examinations for our homebuyers in Texas.  Our mortgage financing and title services operations are included in our financial services reportable segment, which is separately reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements under “Financial Services.”

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as accounting, finance and treasury, information technology, insurance and risk management, litigation, marketing and human resources.  Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support us as a publicly traded company.  All of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to each of our operating divisions based on their respective percentage of revenues.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2013-02 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and our adoption of this new provision of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2013, we had $93.3 million outstanding under our mortgage financing subsidiary’s mortgage credit facilities.  These mortgage credit facilities consist of a $75 million repurchase facility with one lender, maturing in July 2013, and a $25 million repurchase facility with another lender, maturing in September 2013.  These facilities require Standard Pacific Mortgage to maintain cash collateral accounts, which totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2013, and also contain financial covenants which require Standard Pacific Mortgage to, among other things, maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, not to exceed a debt to tangible net worth ratio, maintain a minimum liquidity amount based on a measure of total assets (inclusive of the cash collateral requirement), and satisfy pretax income (loss) requirements.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage was in compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in these facilities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

18.       Commitments and Contingencies

a. Land Purchase and Option Agreements

We are subject to obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved homesites. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit or delivery of a letter of credit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and third-party financial entities as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at predetermined prices.  We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit or by repaying amounts drawn under our letter of credit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller, although in certain instances, the land seller has the right to compel us to purchase a specified number of lots at predetermined prices.  Also, in a few instances where we have entered into option contracts with third party financial entities, we have generally entered into construction agreements that do not terminate even if we elect not to exercise our option.  In these instances, we are generally obligated to complete land development improvements on the optioned property at a predetermined cost (paid by the option provider) and are responsible for all cost overruns.  At March 31, 2013, we had no option contracts outstanding with third party financial entities.

In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to our land purchase and option contracts prior to purchase, which we would have to write off should we not purchase the land.  At March 31, 2013, we had non-refundable cash deposits outstanding of approximately $20.4 million and capitalized preacquisition and other development and construction costs of approximately $2.0 million relating to land purchase and option contracts having a total remaining purchase price of approximately $200.3 million.  Approximately $28.3 million of the remaining purchase price is included in inventories not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our utilization of option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries, general housing market conditions, and geographic preferences.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

b. Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures

Our joint ventures have historically obtained secured acquisition, development and construction financing designed to reduce the use of funds from corporate financing sources.  As of March 31, 2013, we held membership interests in 19 homebuilding and land development joint ventures, of which seven were active and 12 were inactive or winding down.  As of such date, one joint venture had $16.4 million of seller non-recourse debt outstanding that is scheduled to mature in December 2013.  In addition, as of March 31, 2013, our joint ventures had $2.7 million of surety bonds outstanding subject to indemnity arrangements by us and had an estimated $0.2 million remaining in cost to complete.

c. Surety Bonds

We obtain surety bonds in the normal course of business to ensure completion of the infrastructure of our projects.  At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $346.2 million in surety bonds outstanding (exclusive of surety bonds related to our joint ventures), with respect to which we had an estimated $190.1 million remaining in cost to complete.

d. Mortgage Loans and Commitments

We commit to making mortgage loans to our homebuyers through our mortgage financing subsidiary, Standard Pacific Mortgage.  Standard Pacific Mortgage sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market and finances these loans under its mortgage credit facilities for a short period of time (typically for 30 to 45 days), as investors complete their administrative review of applicable loan documents.  Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were committed to borrowers totaled approximately $75.2 million at March 31, 2013 and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.5%.  Interest rate risks related to these obligations are mitigated through the preselling of loans to investors.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage had approximately $119.4 million in closed mortgage loans held for sale and $77.8 million of mortgage loans that we were committed to sell to investors subject to our funding of the loans and completion of the investors’ administrative review of the applicable loan documents.

Standard Pacific Mortgage sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market, with servicing rights released on a non-recourse basis.  This sale is subject to Standard Pacific Mortgage’s obligation to repay its gain on sale if the loan is prepaid by the borrower within a certain time period following such sale, or to repurchase the loan if, among other things, the purchaser’s underwriting guidelines are not met, or there is fraud in connection with the loan.  As of March 31, 2013, we had incurred an aggregate of $10.2 million in losses related to loan repurchases and make-whole payments we had been required to make on the $7.4 billion total dollar value of the loans we originated from the beginning of 2004 through the end of the first quarter of 2013.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Standard Pacific Mortgage recorded loan loss expense related to indemnification and repurchase allowances of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, Standard Pacific Mortgage had indemnity and repurchase allowances related to loans sold of approximately $3.0 million.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Standard Pacific Mortgage made make-whole payments totaling approximately $0.6 million related to eight loans and $0.3 million related to one loan, respectively.

e. Insurance and Litigation Accruals

Insurance and litigation accruals are established with respect to estimated future claims cost.  We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from construction-related claims.  We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations.  However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy.  We record allowances to cover our estimated costs of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts under these policies and estimated costs for claims that may not be covered by applicable insurance or indemnities.  Our total insurance and litigation accruals as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $58.1 million and $57.2 million, respectively, which are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Estimation of these accruals include consideration of our claims history, including current claims, estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and potential for recovery of costs from insurance and other sources.  We utilize the services of an independent third party actuary to assist us with evaluating the level of our insurance and litigation accruals.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in determining these estimated accrual amounts, actual future claim costs could differ from our currently estimated amounts.

ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.

Total compensation expense recognized related to stock-based compensation was $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $8.6 million, with a weighted average period over which the remaining unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recorded of approximately 1.8 years.

17.       Disclosures about Fair Value

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Further, ASC 820 requires us to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

•      Level 1 – quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

•      Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•      Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Mortgage loans held for sale have been measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820 for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

Mortgage loans held for saleconsist of FHA, VA, USDA and agency first mortgages on single-family residences which are eligible for sale to FNMA/FHLMC, GNMA or other investors, as applicable.  Fair values of these loans are based on quoted prices from third party investors when preselling loans.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments for which we have not elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments:

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment – Fair value of these loans is based on the estimated market value of the underlying collateral based on market data and other factors for similar type properties as further adjusted to reflect the estimated net realizable value of carrying the loans through disposition.

Senior Notes Payable – The senior notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were estimated based upon the values of their last trade at the end of the period.

The fair value of our cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, secured project debt and other notes payable, mortgage credit facilities and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

The senior notes payable described above are all senior obligations and rank equally with our other existing senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, pursuant to a “make whole” formula. These notes contain various restrictive covenants.  Our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016 contain our most restrictive covenants, including a limitation on additional indebtedness and a limitation on restricted payments.  Outside of the specified categories of indebtedness that are carved out of the additional indebtedness limitation (including a carve-out for up to $1.1 billion in credit facility indebtedness), the Company must satisfy at least one of two conditions (either a maximum leverage condition or a minimum interest coverage condition) to incur additional indebtedness.  The Company must also satisfy at least one of these two conditions to make restricted payments.  Restricted Payments include dividends and investments in and advances to our joint ventures and other unrestricted subsidiaries.  Our ability to make restricted payments is also subject to a basket limitation.  As of March 31, 2013, we were able to incur additional indebtedness and make restricted payments because we satisfied the maximum leverage condition.  Many of our 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guaranty our outstanding senior notes.  The guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several.  Please see Note 21 for supplemental financial statement information about our guarantor subsidiaries group and non-guarantor subsidiaries group.

The 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Convertible Notes”) will mature on August 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.  The holders may at any time convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 123.7662 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.08 per share), subject to adjustment.  On or after August 5, 2017 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being redeemed.  On each of August 1, 2017, August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2027, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased.

Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income (loss) of these unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily attributable to our share of income (loss) related to our California joint ventures, which was allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, all of our unconsolidated joint ventures were reviewed for impairment.  Based on the impairment review, no joint venture projects were determined to be impaired for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.

The table set forth below summarizes the combined balance sheets for our unconsolidated land development and homebuilding joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method:

	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash	$	12,107	$	15,627
Inventories		147,942		129,477
Other assets		10,673		10,783
Total assets	$	170,722	$	155,887
Liabilities and Equity:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	5,401	$	5,796
Non-recourse debt		16,410		―
Standard Pacific equity		50,183		51,173
Other members' equity		98,728		98,918
Total liabilities and equity	$	170,722	$	155,887
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets	$	53,024	$	52,443

In some cases our net investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures is not equal to our proportionate share of equity reflected in the table above primarily because of differences between asset impairments that we recorded  in prior periods against our joint venture investments and the impairments recorded by the applicable joint venture.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were in California.  Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures also included approximately $7.6 million and $6.9 million of homebuilding interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which capitalized interest is not included in the combined balance sheets above.

Our investments in these unconsolidated joint ventures may represent a variable interest in a VIE depending on, among other things, the economic interests of the members of the entity and the contractual terms of the arrangement.  We analyze all of our unconsolidated joint ventures under the provisions of ASC 810 to determine whether these entities are deemed to be VIEs, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  As of March 31, 2013, all of our homebuilding and land development joint ventures with unrelated parties were determined under the provisions of ASC 810 to be unconsolidated joint ventures either because they were not deemed to be VIEs, or, if they were a VIE, we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Total inventories owned	$	1,086,159	$	461,201	$	424,058	$	1,971,418

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), we record impairment losses on inventories when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired, and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts.  Inventories that are determined to be impaired are written down to their estimated fair value.  We calculate the fair value of a project under a land residual value analysis and in certain cases in conjunction with a discounted cash flow analysis.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the total number of projects included in inventories-owned and reviewed for impairment were 293 and 261, respectively.  Based on the impairment review, we did not record any inventory impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

b. Inventories Not Owned

Inventories not owned consisted of the following at:

	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Land purchase and lot option deposits	$	26,556	$	23,803
Other lot option contracts, net of deposits		45,463		47,492
Total inventories not owned	$	72,019	$	71,295

Under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), a non-refundable deposit paid to an entity is deemed to be a variable interest that will absorb some or all of the entity’s expected losses if they occur.  Our land purchase and lot option deposits generally represent our maximum exposure to the land seller if we elect not to purchase the optioned property.  In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to optioned land prior to takedown.  Such costs are classified as inventories owned, which we would have to absorb should we not exercise the option.  Therefore, whenever we enter into a land option or purchase contract with an entity and make a non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) may have been created.  As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, we were not required to consolidate any VIEs related to land option or purchase contracts.  In accordance with ASC 810, we perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  Other lot option contracts noted in the table above represent specific performance obligations where the land option contract contains a binding obligation requiring us to complete the lot purchases.

Home Building Interest [Text Block]

8.         Capitalization of Interest

We follow the practice of capitalizing interest to inventories owned during the period of development and to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”).  Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories owned is included in cost of sales as related units or lots are sold.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated homebuilding and land development joint ventures is included as a reduction of income from unconsolidated joint ventures when the related homes or lots are sold to third parties.  Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated land development joint ventures is transferred to inventories owned if the underlying lots are purchased by us.  To the extent our debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred by us.  Qualified assets represent projects that are actively selling or under development as well as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.  During the 2013 first quarter, our qualified assets exceeded our debt, and as of March 31, 2013, the amount of our qualified assets in excess of our debt was $186.4 million.  As a result, all of our interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was capitalized in accordance with ASC 835.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we expensed $2.5 million of interest costs related to the portion of our debt in excess of our qualified assets in accordance with ASC 835.

The following is a summary of homebuilding interest capitalized to inventories owned and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, amortized to cost of sales and loss from unconsolidated joint ventures and expensed as interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

15.       Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We account for derivatives and certain hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).  ASC 815 establishes the accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and to measure these instruments at fair market value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair market value of derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations or recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings, depending on the purpose of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment.

Our policy is to designate at a derivative’s inception the specific assets, liabilities or future commitments being hedged and monitor the derivative to determine if the derivative remains an effective hedge. The effectiveness of a derivative as a hedge is based on a high correlation between changes in the derivative’s value and changes in the value of the underlying hedged item.  We recognize gains or losses for amounts received or paid when the underlying transaction settles.  We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2013, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets related to interest rate swap agreements that we terminated in December 2010.  These swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting treatment prior to their termination and the related gain or loss was deferred, net of tax, in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The cost associated with the early unwind of the interest rate swap agreements is being amortized as a component of our interest incurred through May 2013.  For each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded after-tax other comprehensive income of $1.6 million related to the swap agreements.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

4.         Earnings Per Common Share

We compute earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires earnings per share for each class of stock (common stock and participating preferred stock) to be calculated using the two-class method.  The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company's participating security holders.  Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of basic common stock outstanding.  Our Series B junior participating convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into shares of our common stock at the holder’s option (subject to a limitation based upon voting interest), and our unvested restricted stock, are classified as participating securities in accordance with ASC 260.  Net income allocated to the holders of our Series B Preferred Stock and unvested restricted stock is calculated based on the shareholders’ proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards and unvested restricted stock using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method, and Series B Preferred Stock and convertible debt using the if-converted method.  Under the two-class method of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is reallocated to common stock, the Series B Preferred stock and all dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.  In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the two-class method and if-converted method for the Series B Preferred Stock resulted in the same earnings per share amounts as the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock has the same economic rights as the holders of the common stock.

The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share.

Preferred Stock [Text Block]

14.       Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2013, we had 450,829 shares of Series B junior participating convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) outstanding, which are convertible into 147.8 million shares of our common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which our Series B Preferred Stock is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 by the applicable conversion price ($3.05, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of our common stock provided that no holder, with its affiliates, may beneficially own total voting power of our voting stock in excess of 49%.  The Series B Preferred Stock also mandatorily converts into our common stock upon its sale, transfer or other disposition by MP CA Homes LLC (“MatlinPatterson”) or its affiliates to an unaffiliated third party.  The Series B Preferred Stock votes together with our common stock on all matters upon which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to such number of votes as the number of shares of our common stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, provided that the aggregate votes attributable to such shares with respect to any holder of Series B Preferred Stock (including its affiliates), taking into consideration any other voting securities of the Company held by such stockholder, cannot exceed more than 49% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive only those dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  As of March 31, 2013, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 89.4 million shares of common stock owned by MatlinPatterson represented approximately 65% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.
