These charges reduced operating income by $0.9 million and $0.1 million in the Midwest region for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and less than $0.1 million in the Southern and Mid-Atlantic regions for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. There were no charges in the Mid-Atlantic or Southern regions for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
(b) | Our financial services operational results should be viewed in connection with our homebuilding business as its operations originate loans and provide title services primarily for our homebuying customers, with the exception of a small amount of mortgage re-financing.
