The equity in income/gain on wind down of unconsolidated joint ventures amounts for 2013 and 2012 included gains of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, recognized in connection with the wind down of the business operations of a former mortgage banking joint venture, which ceased offering mortgage banking services in 2011. In addition, our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at November 30, 2014 and 2013 reflected a $5.0 million capital contribution we made to HCM in 2013. Although KB HOME Mortgage Company, which is 100% owned by us, ceased originating and selling mortgage loans in September 2005, it may be required to repurchase, or provide indemnification with respect to, an individual loan that it funded on or before August 31, 2005 and sold to an investor if the representations or warranties that it made in connection with the sale of the loan are breached, in the event of an early payment default, if the loan does not comply with the underwriting standards or other requirements of the ultimate investor or an applicable insurer, or due to a delinquency or other matters arising in connection with the loan. KB HOME Mortgage Company was not required to repurchase any loans in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
