Homebuilding:

The Company has a five-year, $600 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce available borrowing capacity and may total no more than $300 million in the aggregate. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. At March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding and $41.2 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the Company's leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September 2012, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

In February 2013, the Company issued $400 million principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due February 15, 2018 and$300 million principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due February 15, 2023, with interest payable semi-annually. The notes represent unsecured obligations of the Company. The annual effective interest rate of the $400 million senior notes and the $300 million senior notes, after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 3.8% and 4.9%, respectively.

In accordance with the indenture governing the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014, when cash dividends are paid in excess of $0.0375 per share in any fiscal quarter, the conversion rate related to these notes increases. As a result of the cash dividend of $0.15 per share which was paid on December 21, 2012 (see Note J), the conversion rate of the 2% convertible senior notes increased from 76.5697 to 77.18004 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes. The new conversion rate is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.96 per share of common stock, compared to the initial conversion price of $13.06 per share. If all of the 2% convertible senior notes due 2014 were converted into the Company's common stock, the Company would issue 38.6 million shares of its common stock as a result of the conversion.

Effective August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's debt securities effective through July 31, 2013. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2013.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 120 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In March 2013, the mortgage repurchase facility was renewed and amended, and new commitments from banks were obtained which increased the total capacity of the facility from $180 million to $300 million. The facility's capacity can be increased to $400 million subject to the availability of additional commitments. The maturity date of the facility is now February 28, 2014.

As of March 31, 2013, $373.3 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $347.9 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $102.1 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $245.8 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2013 at a 2.8% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported monthly. At March 31, 2013, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.
