M/I HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2015 Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several ASUs, such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09. Instead, these amendments are intended to clarify and improve the operability of certain topics addressed by ASU 2014-09. These additional ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption of ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs and the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. See below for additional explanation of each of these additional ASUs.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which makes a number of changes to the current GAAP model, including changes to the accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning
7

January 1, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets - referred to as “lessees” - to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. In addition, disclosures of leasing activities will be expanded to include qualitative and specific quantitative information. For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (“ASU 2016-06”), which requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met. One of those criteria is that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract (the “clearly and closely related” criterion). ASU 2016-06 clarifies the required steps for assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks. ASU 2016-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-06 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance stated in ASU 2014-09 on principal versus agent considerations and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). ASU 2016-10 provides guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. This update clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09 relating to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2016-12 provides for amendments to ASU 2014-09 regarding transition, collectability, noncash consideration, and presentation of sales tax and other similar taxes. Specifically, ASU 2016-12 clarifies that, for a contract to be considered completed at transition, all or substantially all of the revenue must have been recognized under legacy GAAP. In addition, ASU 2016-12 clarifies how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria.
NOTE 2. Inventory and Capitalized Interest
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the land is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

A summary of the Company’s inventory as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

Single-family lots, land and land development costs | $ | 563,112 |  |  | $ | 584,542 |
Land held for sale | 11,597 |  |  | 12,630 |
Homes under construction | 487,895 |  |  | 420,206 |
Model homes and furnishings - at cost (less accumulated depreciation: June 30, 2016 - $10,470; December 31, 2015 - $8,296) | 72,015 |  |  | 63,929 |
Community development district infrastructure | 722 |  |  | 1,018 |
Land purchase deposits | 29,815 |  |  | 23,710 |
Consolidated inventory not owned | 5,169 |  |  | 6,007 |
Total inventory | $ | 1,170,325 |  |  | $ | 1,112,042 |

Single-family lots, land and land development costs include raw land that the Company has purchased to develop into lots, costs incurred to develop the raw land into lots, and lots for which development has been completed, but which have not yet been used to start construction of a home.
Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had 877 homes (with a carrying value of $142.6 million) and 872 homes (with a carrying value of $184.3 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.
Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, typically three years.
Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. In the period during which the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement, the Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreement.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction. Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party. The summary of capitalized interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands) | 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Capitalized interest, beginning of period | $ | 16,952 |  |  | $ | 15,542 |  |  | $ | 16,740 |  |  | $ | 15,296 |
Interest capitalized to inventory | 4,497 |  |  | 4,675 |  |  | 8,253 |  |  | 8,460 |
Capitalized interest charged to land and housing costs and expenses | (4,631 | ) |  | (3,780 | ) |  | (8,175 | ) |  | (7,319 | )
Capitalized interest, end of period | $ | 16,818 |  |  | $ | 16,437 |  |  | $ | 16,818 |  |  | $ | 16,437 |

NOTE 3. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we decreased our total investment in such joint venture arrangements by $8.8 million from $37.0 million at December 31, 2015 to $28.2 million at June 30, 2016, which was driven primarily by our increased lot distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $15.0 million, offset, in part, by our increased cash contributions to our unconsolidated joint ventures during the first half of 2016 of $5.8 million.
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the unconsolidated joint ventures’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our statement of income. The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for
9

recoverability on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 4 for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.
For joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity is established to own the property, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. The Company’s ownership in these LLCs as of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ranged from 25% to 74%. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC.
We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2016 is the amount invested of $28.2 million, which is reported as Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, although we expect to invest further amounts in these unconsolidated joint ventures as development of the properties progresses. Included in the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of capitalized interest and other costs.
Variable Interest Entities
With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have determined that one of the LLCs in which we have an interest meets the requirements of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) due to a lack of equity at risk in the entity. However, we have determined that we do not have substantive control over that VIE as we do not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. As a result, we are not required to consolidate the VIE into our financial statements, and we instead record the VIE in Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Land Option Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under option or purchase agreements.
NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements
There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.
In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in
10

providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics. To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount. The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis, and receives servicing compensation. Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.
The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date. The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain home-buying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to twelve months.
Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.
Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination. During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a best-efforts contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant
12

Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.
The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption pace (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its inventory.
Investment In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Financial Instruments
Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The objective of the fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Commitments to Extend Real Estate Loans, Best-Efforts Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 and Senior Notes due 2021. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.
Split Dollar Life Insurance Policy and Notes Receivable. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the amounts based on the estimated timing of receipts using discount rates that incorporate management’s estimate of risk associated with the corresponding note receivable.
Notes Payable - Homebuilding Operations. The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 fluctuated with the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate for the Company’s $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility dated July 18, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.
Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC (“M/I Financial”) is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated June 24, 2016 (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”), which replaced the Mortgage Warehousing Agreement dated as of March 29, 2013 (as subsequently amended, the “Prior Agreement”); and (2) a $15 million mortgage repurchase agreement, as amended and restated on November 3, 2015, as further amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the second quarter of 2016 fluctuated with LIBOR. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.
14

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.
Letters of Credit. Letters of credit of $37.3 million and $42.5 million represent potential commitments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The letters of credit generally expire within one or two years. The estimated fair value of letters of credit was determined using fees currently charged for similar agreements.
NOTE 5. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that guarantee certain purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $33.8 million and $12.2 million were covered under these guarantees as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2015 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms. A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at June 30, 2016, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.
M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.
M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total of all loans indemnified to third party insurers relating to the above agreements was $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.
The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.9 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability.
NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty
We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home closed. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”), and our 30-year (offered on all homes sold after April 25, 1998 and on or before December 1, 2015 in all of our markets except our Texas markets), 15-year (offered on all homes sold after December 1, 2015 in all of our markets except our Texas markets) or 10-year (offered on all homes sold in our Texas markets) transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.
Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house closes, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is re-evaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to
15

uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.
While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.
A summary of warranty activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

We have received claims related to stucco installation from homeowners in certain of our Florida (Tampa and Orlando) communities and have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners. These claims primarily relate to homes built prior to 2014 which have second story elevations with frame construction. The issues are typically limited to stucco installation on the second stories of these homes and generally involve the cracking of stucco beyond normal expansion cracks or the separation of stucco from the exterior sheeting. We attribute the geographic concentration of stucco related claims in our Florida communities primarily to local construction practices employed by independent contractors in these areas.
Through 2015, we repaired certain of the affected homes and accrued for the estimated future cost of repairs for the other identified homes on which repairs had yet to be completed. The aggregate amounts of such repair costs and accruals were not material, and the reserve for identified homes in need of more than minor repair at December 31, 2015 was $0.5 million. During the first quarter of 2016, we received an increased number of stucco related claims in our Florida communities, and we recorded an additional accrual of $2.2 million as a change in estimate to our warranty reserves for homes that we had identified during the quarter as requiring more than minor repairs. At March 31, 2016, the remaining reserve was $1.8 million, covering the estimated repair costs for the approximately 138 identified homes on which repairs had yet to be completed.
During the second quarter of 2016, we continued to receive stucco related claims in certain of our Florida communities. During the second quarter, we identified 130 additional homes that require more than minor stucco repairs, we completed repairs on 90 of the identified homes, and we recorded an additional accrual of $2.8 million as a change in estimate to our warranty reserves (which change is reflected in “Changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties” in the above table) for homes that we identified during the quarter as requiring more than minor repairs. At June 30, 2016, the remaining reserve was $2.9 million, covering the estimated repair costs for the approximately 178 identified homes on which repairs had yet to be completed. This reserve does not include any estimate of the future stucco repair costs for homes for which we have not received claims.
Based on our ongoing receipt of additional claims, we have expanded the scope of our review of the stucco issues in our Florida communities and we are in the process of collecting and analyzing information to enable us to reasonably estimate the number of additional homes in our Florida communities that will require stucco repairs in the future and the nature and cost of those repairs. While, based on our analysis to date, we believe that it is probable that we will identify additional homes in our Florida communities that will require stucco repairs in the future, as of June 30, 2016, we are unable to reasonably estimate: (a) the number of such additional homes; (b) the cost to repair those homes; or (c) the ultimate amount of our liability. As we obtain additional information, we expect to revise our warranty reserves for these estimated future stucco repairs costs, which could be material.
During the second quarter of 2016, we also continued our investigation of the extent to which we may be able to recover a portion of our stucco repair and claims handling costs from other sources, including our direct insurers, the subcontractors involved with the construction of the homes and their insurers. As of June 30, 2016, we are unable to estimate an amount (if any) that we believe is probable that we will recover from these sources and, accordingly, we have not recorded a receivable for estimated recoveries nor included an estimated amount of recoveries in determining our warranty reserves.
Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit
At June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding approximately $130.2 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through May 2024. Included in this total are: (1) $85.5 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $30.2 million of performance letters of credit that serve as
16

completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $7.1 million of financial letters of credit, of which $5.2 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $7.4 million of financial bonds.
Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts
At June 30, 2016, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $533.1 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.
Legal Matters
In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $0.2 million and $0.6 million reserved for legal expenses, respectively.
NOTE 7. Debt
Notes Payable - Homebuilding
The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $400 million, including a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on October 20, 2018. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility was payable at either the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 150 basis points, or at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 250 basis points. These interest rates are subject to adjustment in subsequent periods based on the Company's leverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2016, borrowing availability under the Credit Facility in accordance with the borrowing base calculation was $499.7 million and, as a result, the full amount of the $400 million facility was available. At June 30, 2016, there were $70.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $35.7 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving net remaining borrowing availability of $294.3 million.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indenture for the Company’s $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). The guarantors for the Credit Facility (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2021 Senior Notes, the Company’s $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”) and the Company’s $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”).
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.
The Company is party to three secured credit agreements for the issuance of letters of credit outside of the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Facilities”), with maturity dates ranging from August 31, 2016 to June 1, 2017. The agreements governing the Letter of Credit Facilities contain limits for the issuance of letters of credit ranging from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, for a combined letter of credit capacity of $12.0 million, of which $4.9 million was uncommitted at June 30, 2016 and could be withdrawn at any time. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was $1.7 million and $2.7 million of outstanding letters of credit in aggregate under the Company’s Letter of Credit Facilities, respectively, which were collateralized with $1.7 million and $2.7 million of the Company’s cash, respectively.

Notes Payable — Financial Services
The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. In June 2016, M/I Financial amended and restated the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement which, among other things, increased the maximum borrowing availability from $110 million to $125 million and extended the expiration date to June 23, 2017. The maximum borrowing availability is further increased to $150 million during certain periods of expected increases in the volume of mortgage originations, specifically from September 25, 2016 to October 15, 2016 and from December 15, 2016 to February 2, 2017. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and (2) 2.75%. The agreement also contains certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement.
The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and is structured as a mortgage repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing availability of $15 million and an expiration date of November 1, 2016. In December 2015, the agreement was amended to include a “seasonal increase” provision which increased the maximum borrowing availability to $20 million through January 31, 2016. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 or 275 basis points depending on the loan type.
At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial’s total combined maximum borrowing availability under the two credit facilities was $140.0 million, a decrease from $150.0 million from December 31, 2015 due to the seasonal increases that expired on February 1, 2016. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, M/I Financial had $92.7 million and $123.6 million outstanding on a combined basis under its credit facilities, respectively, and was in compliance with all financial covenants of those agreements for both periods.
Senior Notes
As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $300.0 million of our 2021 Senior Notes outstanding. The 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year , and mature on January 15, 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The 2021 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.
The 2021 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket”; make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.
The 2021 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by all of our subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2016, the guarantors of the 2021 Senior Notes are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility, the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, and the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.
The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2021 Senior Notes on or after January 15, 2018 at a stated redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption price will initially be 103.375% of the principal amount outstanding, but will decline to 101.688% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on January 15, 2019, and will further decline to 100.000% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed on or after January 15, 2020, but prior to maturity.
The indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes limits our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and our 9.75% Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indenture. The “restricted payments basket” is equal to $125.0 million plus (1) 50% of our
18

aggregate consolidated net income (or minus 100% of our aggregate consolidated net loss) from October 1, 2015, excluding income or loss from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, plus (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from either contributions to the common equity of the Company after December 31, 2015 or the sale of qualified equity interests, plus other items and subject to other exceptions. The restricted payments basket was $135.1 million and $128.5 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The determination to pay future dividends on, or make future repurchases of, our common shares or Series A Preferred Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants and the terms of our Series A Preferred Shares, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $86.3 million of our 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes mature on March 1, 2018. At any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes into the Company’s common shares. The conversion rate initially equals 30.9478 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $32.31 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.7 million common shares. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by those subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors under the Company’s Credit Facility, 2021 Senior Notes and 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. The 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness and are also effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness. The indenture governing the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes requires the Company to repurchase the notes (subject to certain exceptions), at a holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture).
The Company may redeem for cash any or all of the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (except for any 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes that the Company is required to repurchase in connection with a fundamental change), but only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price for the notes on each of at least 20 applicable trading days. The 20 trading days do not need to be consecutive, but must occur during a period of 30 consecutive trading days that ends within 10 trading days immediately prior to the date the Company provides the notice of redemption. The redemption price for the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes to be redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $57.5 million of our 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes mature on September 15, 2017. At any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes into the Company’s common shares. The conversion rate initially equals 42.0159 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.80 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.4 million common shares. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by those subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors under the Company’s Credit Facility, 2021 Senior Notes and 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. The 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness and are also effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness. The indenture governing the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes provides that we may not redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date, but also contains provisions requiring the Company to repurchase the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (subject to certain exceptions), at a holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture).
Notes Payable - Other
The Company had other borrowings, which are reported in Notes Payable - Other in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaling $8.6 million and $8.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The balance consists primarily of a mortgage note payable with a $3.6 million principal balance outstanding at June 30, 2016 (and $3.9 million principal balance outstanding at December 31, 2015), which is secured by an office building, matures in 2017 and carries an interest rate of 8.1%. The remaining balance is made up of other notes payable incurred through the normal course of business.

NOTE 9. Income Taxes
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a tax provision of $9.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to the period’s income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was 36.2% and 36.7%, respectively, which included expected tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a tax provision of $8.5 million and $14.7 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to the period’s income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 39.0%.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million and federal credit carryforwards of $9.5 million. Our federal NOL carryforwards may be carried forward from one to 16 years to offset future taxable income with the federal carryforward benefits beginning to expire in 2028. The Company had $7.4 million of state NOL carryforwards at June 30, 2016. Our state NOLs may be carried forward from one to 16 years, depending on the tax jurisdiction, with $2.6 million expiring between 2022 and 2027 and $4.8 million expiring between 2028 and 2032, absent sufficient state taxable income.
NOTE 10. Business Segments
The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the Company’s performance in various ways, including: (1) the results of our 15 individual homebuilding operating segments and the results of our financial services operations; (2) the results of our three homebuilding reportable segments; and (3) our consolidated financial results.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment as each homebuilding division engages in business activities from which it earns revenue, primarily from the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached homes, acquisition and development of land, and the occasional sale of lots to third parties. Our financial services operations generate revenue primarily from the origination, sale and servicing of mortgage loans and title services primarily for purchasers of the Company’s homes and are included in our financial services reportable
20

segment. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, we have determined our reportable segments as follows: Midwest homebuilding, Southern homebuilding, Mid-Atlantic homebuilding and financial services operations. The homebuilding operating segments that are included within each reportable segment have been aggregated because they share similar aggregation characteristics as prescribed in ASC 280 in the following regards: (1) long-term economic characteristics; (2) historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages; (3) housing products, production processes and methods of distribution; and (4) geographical proximity.
The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Midwest | Southern | Mid-Atlantic
Chicago, Illinois | Orlando, Florida | Charlotte, North Carolina
Cincinnati, Ohio | Sarasota, Florida | Raleigh, North Carolina
Columbus, Ohio | Tampa, Florida | Washington, D.C.
Indianapolis, Indiana | Austin, Texas |
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota | Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas |
| Houston, Texas |
| San Antonio, Texas |

On July 1, 2016, we entered the Sarasota, Florida market.
The following table shows, by segment: revenue, operating income and interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
M/I Homes, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is one of the nation’s leading builders of single-family homes having delivered over 96,000 homes since we commenced homebuilding activities in 1976. The Company’s homes are marketed and sold primarily under the M/I Homes brand (M/I Homes and Showcase Collection (exclusively by M/I)) and, following our acquisition of a privately-held homebuilder in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market in December 2015, we also currently operate under the name Hans Hagen Homes in that market. The Company has homebuilding operations in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Tampa, Sarasota and Orlando, Florida; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.

• | Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements;

• | Application of Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies;

• | Results of Operations;

• | Discussion of Our Liquidity and Capital Resources;

• | Summary of Our Contractual Obligations;

• | Discussion of Our Utilization of Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; and

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future financial performance and financial condition. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” and “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements that we make herein and in future reports and statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risk factors. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”), as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC, for more information regarding those risk factors.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date made. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and all of our forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in this section.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies.
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the Company’s performance in various ways, including: (1) the results of our 15 individual homebuilding operating segments and the results of our financial services operations; (2) the results of our three homebuilding reportable segments; and (3) our consolidated financial results.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment as each homebuilding division engages in business activities from which it earns revenue, primarily from the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached homes, acquisition and development of land, and the occasional sale of lots to third parties. Our financial services operations generate revenue primarily from the origination, sale and servicing of mortgage loans and title services primarily for purchasers of the Company’s homes and are included in our financial services reportable segment. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, we have determined our reportable segments as follows: Midwest homebuilding, Southern homebuilding, Mid-Atlantic homebuilding and financial services operations. The homebuilding operating segments included in each reportable segment have been aggregated because they share similar aggregation characteristics as prescribed in ASC 280 in the following regards: (1) long-term economic characteristics; (2) historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages; (3) housing products, production processes and methods of distribution; and (4) geographical proximity.
The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Midwest | Southern | Mid-Atlantic
Chicago, Illinois | Orlando, Florida | Charlotte, North Carolina
Cincinnati, Ohio | Sarasota, Florida | Raleigh, North Carolina
Columbus, Ohio | Tampa, Florida | Washington, D.C.
Indianapolis, Indiana | Austin, Texas |
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota | Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas |
| Houston, Texas |
| San Antonio, Texas |

On July 1, 2016, we entered the Sarasota, Florida market.
Overview
During both the second quarter and first half of 2016, we experienced generally favorable demand for new homes in most of our markets as a result of increases in employment, low interest rates, improved consumer confidence, improved mortgage availability and a limited supply of new homes. While industry-wide new home sales continue at a pace below historical averages, the generally favorable demand for new homes and the continued execution of our strategic business initiatives enabled us to achieve the following results, in comparison to the second quarter and first half of 2015:

• | New contracts increased 23% and 21%, respectively

• | Homes delivered increased 13% to 1,042 homes and 17% to 1,918 homes, respectively

• | Average price of homes delivered increased 6% to $362,000 during the second quarter of 2016 and 8% to $358,000 for the first half of 2016

• | Number of homes in backlog at June 30, 2016 increased 27%, and our total sales value in backlog increased 28% to $842.4 million

• | Revenue increased 24% for both the second quarter and first half of 2016

• | Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue improved 70 basis points to 13.1% and 50 basis points to 13.4%, respectively

Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 increased 14% from $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. 2016's second quarter income before income taxes was favorably impacted by a $1.1 million increase in land sale profit in 2016's second quarter ($1.3 million) compared to the second quarter of 2015 ($0.2 million) but was unfavorably impacted by a $2.8 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities. Excluding land sale profits in both periods, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of certain land transactions, and the stucco-related charges for the three months ended June 30, 2016, income before income taxes increased from $21.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 - a 22% increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, income before income taxes increased 6% from $37.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. 2016's first half income before income taxes was unfavorably impacted by a $3.5 million reduction in land sale profit in 2016's first half ($2.0 million) compared to the first half of 2015
29

($5.5 million) and a $4.9 million charge in 2016 for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities. Excluding land sale profits in both periods and the stucco-related charges for the six months ended June 30, 2016, income before income taxes increased from $32.1 million in 2015's first half to $42.5 million in 2016's first half - a 32% increase. The calculation of adjusted income before income taxes, which we believe provides a clearer measure of the performance of our business, is described and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, income before income taxes, below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
We believe that our results in both the second quarter and first half of 2016 were positively impacted by: the generally favorable demand for new homes discussed above; our strategic growth and investment in new communities; continued improvement in our mix of communities and better locations within each of our markets; our continued focus on controlling overall costs; and the strong performance of our financial services operations.
Summary of Company Financial Results
In the second quarter of 2016, we achieved net income to common shareholders of $14.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. This compares to net income to common shareholders of $12.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in 2015's second quarter. Net income in each period included $1.2 million in dividend payments made to holders of our Series A Preferred Shares. In the first half of 2016, we achieved net income to common shareholders of $22.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share. This compares to net income to common shareholders of $20.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in first half of 2015. Net income in each period included $2.4 million in dividend payments made to holders of our Series A Preferred Shares.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we recorded total revenue of $401.2 million, of which $377.2 million was from homes delivered, $14.1 million was from land sales and $9.9 million was from our financial services operations. Revenue from homes delivered increased 21% in 2016's second quarter compared to the same period in 2015 driven primarily by a 13% increase in the number of homes delivered (123 units) and a 6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($22,000 per home delivered). Revenue from land sales increased $12.3 million from 2015's second quarter primarily due to strategic land sales in our Southern region compared to prior year (as our homebuilding operations generate revenue from the sale of land in the normal course of operations from time to time). During the first half of 2016, we recorded record high total revenue of $725.6 million, of which $686.5 million was from homes delivered, $19.1 million was from land sales and $20.0 million was from our financial services operations. Revenue from homes delivered increased 26% in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 driven primarily by a 17% increase in the number of homes delivered (282 units) and an 8% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($25,000 per home delivered). Revenue from land sales decreased $4.7 million during 2016's first half primarily due to more land sales in our Mid-Atlantic region in the prior year than in the current year’s first half. Revenue in our financial services segment increased 11% to $9.9 million and 17% to $20.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 as a result of increase s in the number of loan originations, increase s in the average loan amount, and more favorable market conditions resulting in higher margins on our loans sold in both periods than we experienced in prior year.
Total gross margin increased $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 as a result of a $10.3 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $1.0 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales improved $1.1 million as a result of increased land sales in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered (housing gross margin) improved $9.2 million, due to the 6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and the 13% increase in the number of homes delivered, partially offset by a $2.8 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during the second quarter of 2016. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 100 basis points from 19.6% in prior year’s second quarter to 18.6% in 2016's second quarter. Exclusive of the stucco-related charge, our housing gross margin percentage declined 20 basis points to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2016, largely as a result of product mix and the mix of communities delivering homes, as well as higher construction and lot costs in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 2015's second quarter. Total gross margin increased $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the first half of 2015 as a result of a $15.5 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $3.0 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales declined $3.5 million as a result of fewer land sales in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered improved $19.0 million, due to the 8% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and the 17% increase in the number of homes delivered, partially offset by a $4.9 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during 2016's first half. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 120 basis points from 19.2% in the prior year’s first half to 18.0% in 2016's first half. Exclusive of the stucco-related charge, our housing gross margin percentage declined 40 basis points to 18.7% in the first half of 2016, largely as a result of the mix of communities delivering homes, as well as higher construction and lot costs in 2016's first half compared to 2015's first half. The calculation of adjusted housing gross margin, which we believe provides a clearer measure of the performance of
30

our business, is described and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, housing gross margin, below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
We believe the increased sales volume and higher sales prices on homes delivered during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were driven primarily by better pricing leverage in select locations and submarkets and shifts in both product and community mix. We sell a variety of home types in various communities and markets, each of which yields a different gross margin. As a result, our housing gross margin may fluctuate up or down from quarter to quarter depending on the mix of communities delivering homes. The pricing improvements were offset by higher average lot and construction costs related to homebuilding industry conditions and normal supply and demand dynamics which led to the decline in our housing gross margin percentage for both the second quarter and first half of 2016 as described above. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we were able to pass a portion of the higher construction and lot costs to our homebuyers in the form of higher sales prices. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to raise prices.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.7 million, which partially offset the increase in our gross margin discussed above, but declined as a percentage of revenue from 13.8% in the second quarter of 2015 to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2016. Selling expense increased $2.6 million from 2015's second quarter and improved as a percentage of revenue to 6.4% in 2016's second quarter compared to 7.1% for the same period in 2015. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $2.1 million to the increase due to the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered. The increase in selling expense was also attributable to a $0.5 million increase in non-variable selling expense primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increase d community count. General and administrative expense increased $5.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 and remained flat as a percentage of revenue at 6.7% for both the second quarter of 2015 and 2016. This dollar increase was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in compensation expense due to an increase in employee count as well as higher incentive compensation due to improved operating results, a $0.5 million increase in land related expenses, a $0.5 million increase related to start-up costs associated with our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division, a $0.4 million increase in plane-related costs, a $0.3 million increase in costs associated with our investment in new information systems, and a $0.8 million increase in other miscellaneous expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, selling, general and administrative expense increased $15.2 million, which partially offset the increase in our gross margin discussed above, but declined as a percentage of revenue from 13.9% in 2015's first half to 13.4% in the first half of 2016. Selling expense increased $7.2 million from the first half of 2015 and improved as a percentage of revenue to 6.6% in 2016's first six months compared to 6.9% for the same period in 2015. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $5.6 million to the increase due to the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered. The increase in selling expense was also attributable to a $1.6 million increase in non-variable selling expense primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increase d community count. General and administrative expense increased $8.0 million compared to the first six months of 2015 but improved as a percentage of revenue from 7.0% in the first half of 2015 to 6.8% in 2016's first six months. This dollar increase was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in compensation expense due to an increase in employee count as well as higher incentive compensation due to improved operating results, a $1.5 million increase in land related expenses primarily due to our increase d community count, a $0.9 million increase in plane-related costs, a $0.5 million increase in costs associated with our investment in new information systems, a $0.4 million increase related to start-up costs associated with our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division, and a $1.0 million increase in other miscellaneous expenses.
Outlook
We believe that U.S. housing markets will continue to experience modest improvement in demand during the remainder of 2016, as a result of continued positive trends in unemployment, modest wage growth and low interest rates combined with tight inventory levels. We remain focused on increasing our profitability by generating additional revenue and improving overhead operating leverage, continuing to expand our market share, and investing in attractive land and/or new market opportunities.
We expect to continue to emphasize the following strategic business objectives throughout the remainder of 2016:

• | profitably growing our presence in our existing markets, including opening new communities;

• | reviewing new markets for investment opportunities;

• | maintaining a strong balance sheet; and

• | emphasizing customer service, product quality and design, and premier locations.

Consistent with these objectives, we took a number of steps during the first six months of 2016 for continued improvement in 2016 and beyond, including investing $97.4 million in land acquisitions and $73.5 million in land development to help grow our presence in our existing markets. We currently estimate that we will spend approximately $425 million to $475 million on land
31

purchases and land development in 2016. However, land transactions are subject to a number of factors, including our financial condition and market conditions, as well as satisfaction of various conditions related to specific properties. We will continue to monitor market conditions and our ongoing pace of home sales and deliveries and we will adjust our land spending accordingly. We opened 23 communities and closed 24 communities in the first half of 2016, ending 2016's first half with a total of 174 communities compared to 155 communities at June 30, 2015.
Going forward, we believe our abilities to leverage our fixed costs, obtain land at desired rates of return, and open and grow our active communities provide our best opportunities for continuing to improve our financial results. However, we can provide no assurance that the positive trends reflected in our financial and operating metrics will continue in the future.
The following table shows, by segment: revenue; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expense; operating income (loss); and interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

A home is included in “new contracts” when our standard sales contract is executed. “Homes delivered” represents homes for which the closing of the sale has occurred. “Backlog” represents homes for which the standard sales contract has been executed, but which are not included in homes delivered because closings for these homes have not yet occurred as of the end of the period specified.
The composition of our homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog is constantly changing and may be based on a dissimilar mix of communities between periods as new communities open and existing communities wind down. Further, home types and individual homes within a community can range significantly in price due to differing square footage, option selections, lot sizes and quality and location of lots. These variations may result in a lack of meaningful comparability between homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog due to the changing mix between periods.
Cancellation Rates
The following table sets forth the cancellation rates for each of our homebuilding segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Midwest | 12.0 | % |  | 15.5 | % |  | 11.4 | % |  | 15.2 | %
Southern (a) | 17.2 | % |  | 15.4 | % |  | 15.7 | % |  | 14.0 | %
Mid-Atlantic | 11.5 | % |  | 10.0 | % |  | 9.0 | % |  | 11.1 | %
Total cancellation rate | 13.9 | % |  | 14.1 | % |  | 12.5 | % |  | 13.8 | %

(a) | Cancellation rates in our Southern region increased primarily due to less demand in our Houston division as a result of volatility in the energy sector during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Seasonality
Typically, our homebuilding operations experience significant seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, homes delivered increase substantially in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. We believe that this seasonality reflects the tendency of homebuyers to shop for a new home in the spring with the goal of closing in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate seasonal weather conditions. Our financial services operations also experience seasonality because loan originations correspond with the delivery of homes in our homebuilding operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains information about our adjusted housing gross margin and adjusted income before income taxes, each of which constitutes a non-GAAP financial measure. Because adjusted housing gross margin and adjusted income before income taxes are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies in the homebuilding industry and, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
35

The following table reconciles our housing gross margin and income before income taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures of our adjusted housing gross margin and adjusted income before income taxes, respectively:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands) | 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Housing revenue | $ | 377,226 |  |  | $ | 312,112 |  |  | $ | 686,473 |  |  | $ | 545,112 |
Housing cost of sales | 306,939 |  |  | 251,003 |  |  | 562,769 |  |  | 440,366 |
Housing gross margin | 70,287 |  |  | 61,109 |  |  | 123,704 |  |  | 104,746 |
Add: Stucco-related charges (a) | 2,754 |  |  | — |  |  | 4,909 |  |  | — |
Adjusted housing gross margin | $ | 73,041 |  |  | $ | 61,109 |  |  | $ | 128,613 |  |  | $ | 104,746 |
Housing gross margin percentage | 18.6 | % |  | 19.6 | % |  | 18.0 | % |  | 19.2 | %
Adjusted housing gross margin percentage | 19.4 | % |  | 19.6 | % |  | 18.7 | % |  | 19.2 | %
Income before income taxes | $ | 24,950 |  |  | $ | 21,885 |  |  | $ | 39,665 |  |  | $ | 37,577 |

Subtract: Land sale gross profit (b) | (1,303 | ) |  | (218 | ) |  | (2,032 | ) |  | (5,459 | )
Adjusted income before income taxes | $ | 26,401 |  |  | $ | 21,667 |  |  | $ | 42,542 |  |  | $ | 32,118 |

(a) | Represents warranty charges for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities.

(b) | Represents our profit margin made on third-party land sales which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of certain land transactions.

We believe adjusted housing gross margin and adjusted income before income taxes are both relevant and useful financial measures to investors in evaluating our operating performance as they measure the gross profit and income before income taxes we generated specifically on our operations during a given period. These non-GAAP financial measures isolate the impact that the stucco-related charges have on housing gross margins and that the stucco-related charges and gross profits on third-party land sales have on income before income taxes, and allow investors to make comparisons with our competitors that adjust housing gross margins and income before income taxes in a similar manner. We also believe investors will find adjusted housing gross margin and adjusted income before income taxes relevant and useful because they represent a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of stucco-related charges and fluctuations in third-party land sales which vary in timing. These financial measures assist us in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.
Year Over Year Comparison
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
Midwest Region. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Midwest region increased $34.8 million, from $118.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $152.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. This 29% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 13% increase in the number of homes delivered (47 units) and a 14% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($47,000 per home delivered). Operating income in our Midwest region increased $5.8 million, from $12.2 million during the second quarter of 2015 to $18.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of an $8.4 million increase in our gross margin, offset, in part, by a $2.6 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $8.4 million, due to the 13% increase in homes delivered noted above as well as an improvement in housing gross margin percentage. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 110 basis points to 20.5% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 19.4% in the prior year’s second quarter, but was unfavorably impacted by a $0.4 million charge for purchase accounting adjustments from our recent Minneapolis/St. Paul acquisition for the second quarter of 2016. Exclusive of this charge, our housing gross margin percentage improved 140 basis points to 20.8% in 2016's second quarter compared to 19.4% in 2015's second quarter. Our gross margin on land sales was flat for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 and had no impact on our overall homebuilding gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.6 million, from $10.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to $13.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 8.8% compared to 9.1% for the same period in 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $1.2 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $1.0 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, $0.2 million of which was associated with our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division, and (2) a $0.2 million increase in non-variable selling expenses primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models in our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division. The increase in selling,
36

general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $1.5 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to an increase in compensation expense, $0.3 million of which related to our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 28% increase in new contracts in our Midwest region, from 397 in the second quarter of 2015 to 507 in the second quarter of 2016, and a 32% increase in backlog from 723 homes at June 30, 2015 to 954 homes at June 30, 2016. The increase s in new contracts and backlog were partially due to the addition of 91 homes in backlog from our recent acquisition in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota together with improving sub-market conditions within the region. Average sales price in backlog increased to $382,000 at June 30, 2016 compared to $371,000 at June 30, 2015 which was due to higher-end product offerings. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we opened three new communities in our Midwest region compared to one during 2015's second quarter. Our monthly absorption rate in our Midwest region increased to 2.5 per community in the second quarter of 2016 from 2.1 per community in the second quarter of 2015.
Southern Region. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $43.6 million, from $105.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $149.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. This 41% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 28% increase in the number of homes delivered (86 units) and a 3% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($11,000 per home delivered) in addition to a $10.6 million increase in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Southern region decreased $0.8 million from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $7.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in operating income was the result of a $3.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense offset, in part, by a $2.2 million improvement in our gross margin. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales improved $1.1 million as a result of an increase in strategic land sales in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered improved $1.2 million, due to the 28% increase in the number of homes delivered noted above, partially offset by a $2.8 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during the second quarter of 2016. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 400 basis points from 20.2% in prior year’s second quarter to 16.2% in the second quarter of 2016. Exclusive of the stucco-related charge, however, our housing gross margin percentage was 18.2% in 2016's second quarter. This 200 basis point decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of communities delivering homes and higher construction and lot costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.1 million from $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 but declined as a percentage of revenue to 10.8% compared to 12.5% for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $1.6 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $1.4 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions from the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, and (2) a $0.2 million increase in non-variable selling expenses primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increase d community count. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $1.4 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a increases in compensation and land related expenses.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 27% increase in new contracts in our Southern region, from 407 in the second quarter of 2015 to 515 for the second quarter of 2016, and a 20% increase in backlog from 684 homes at June 30, 2015 to 819 homes at June 30, 2016. The increase s in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to improved demand in our Florida markets as well as continued growth in our Texas operations. Average sales price in backlog decreased, however, to $352,000 at June 30, 2016 from $368,000 at June 30, 2015 due to a change in product type and market mix. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we opened seven communities in our Southern region compared to nine during 2015's second quarter. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region increased to 2.5 per community in the second quarter of 2016 from 2.4 per community in the second quarter of 2015.
Mid-Atlantic Region. During the three month period ended June 30, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Mid-Atlantic region decreased $1.0 million from $90.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $89.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. This 1% decrease in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 4% decrease in the number of homes delivered (10 units), offset, in part, by a 1% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($4,000 per home delivered) and a $1.6 million increase in land sale revenue compared to prior year. Operating income in our Mid-Atlantic region decreased $0.7 million, from $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $7.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decline in operating income was primarily the result of a $0.4 million decrease in our gross margin in addition to a $0.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered declined $0.4 million, due to the 4% decrease in the number of homes delivered noted above, offset, in part, by an improvement in housing gross margin percentage. Our housing gross margin percentage improved slightly by 10 basis points from 19.1% in last year’s second quarter to 19.2% in the second quarter of 2016. Our gross margin on land sales was flat for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 and had minimal impact on our overall homebuilding gross margin percentage.
37

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.2 million from $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 10.3% compared to 9.9% for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a increases in compensation and land related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in variable selling expenses resulting from the decline in the number of homes delivered during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 12% increase in new contracts in our Mid-Atlantic region, from 296 in the second quarter of 2015 to 332 in the second quarter of 2016, and a 31% increase in the number of homes in backlog from 387 homes at June 30, 2015 to 508 homes at June 30, 2016. Average sales price of homes in backlog increased from $355,000 at June 30, 2015 to $374,000 at June 30, 2016. We did not open any new communities in our Mid-Atlantic region during the second quarter of 2016 compared to opening four during the second quarter of 2015. Our monthly absorption rate in our Mid-Atlantic region declined to 2.8 per community in the second quarter of 2016 from 2.9 per community in the second quarter of 2015.
Financial Services. Revenue from our mortgage and title operations increased $1.0 million (11%) from $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 as a result of a 14% increase in the number of loan originations, from 666 in the second quarter of 2015 to 761 in the second quarter of 2016, and a 9% increase in the average loan amount, from $274,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to $299,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by the lower margins on our loans sold than we experienced in 2015's second quarter due to less favorable market conditions.
We ended our second quarter of 2016 with a $0.1 million increase in operating income compared to 2015's second quarter, which was primarily due to the increase in our revenue discussed above, offset, in part, by a $0.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to the second quarter of 2015, which was attributable primarily to an increase in compensation expense.
At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial provided financing services in all of our markets. Approximately 83% of our homes delivered during the second quarter of 2016 were financed through M/I Financial, compared to 79% in the same period in 2015. Capture rate is influenced by financing availability and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.9 million, from $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to increase s in compensation expense as well as costs associated with the purchase of an airplane during the first quarter of 2016 and depreciation expense from our investment in new information systems.
Interest Expense - Net. Interest expense for the Company increased $0.5 million, from $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in our weighted average borrowings from $534.2 million in 2015's second quarter to $616.2 million in 2016's second quarter. The increase in our weighted average borrowings primarily related to an increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility during the quarter compared to 2015's second quarter, combined with an increase in the principal amount of senior notes outstanding at June 30, 2016 ($300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”) outstanding at June 30, 2016 compared to $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (“2018 Senior Notes”) outstanding at June 30, 2015). Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in our weighted average borrowing rate from 6.26% in the second quarter of 2015 to 5.68% for second quarter of 2016 which was primarily due to the lower interest rate payable on the 2021 Senior Notes compared with the interest rate payable on the 2018 Senior Notes that were outstanding during the second quarter of 2015.
Earnings from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures represent our portion of pre-tax earnings from our joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures and other similar arrangements. During both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company earned less than $0.1 million in equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate was 36.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 39.0% for the same period in 2015. The lower effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to the impact of annual tax benefits expected for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits that were realized during the second quarter of 2016.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
Midwest Region. During the first half of 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Midwest region increased $67.7 million, from $203.4 million in the first six months of 2015 to $271.1 million in the first six months of 2016. This 33% increase in homebuilding
38

revenue was the result of a 20% increase in the number of homes delivered (121 units) and a 12% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($39,000 per home delivered), offset partially by a $0.8 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Midwest region increased $8.3 million, from $20.0 million during the first half of 2015 to $28.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of a $13.1 million increase in our gross margin, offset, in part, by a $4.9 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales declined $0.2 million as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered improved $13.3 million, due to the 20% increase in the number of homes delivered and the 12% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered noted above. Our housing gross margin percentage remained flat at 19.4% in both 2016’s and 2015’s first half, but was unfavorably impacted in the first half of 2016 by a $1.1 million charge for purchase accounting adjustments from our recent Minneapolis/St. Paul acquisition. Exclusive of this charge, our housing gross margin percentage improved 40 basis points to 19.8% in the first half of 2016 compared to 19.4% in last year’s first half.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.9 million, from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 9.0% compared to 9.6% for the same period in 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $2.8 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $1.9 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, $0.4 million of which was associated with our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division, and (2) a $0.9 million increase in non-variable selling expenses associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increase d community count, $0.5 million of which related to our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $2.0 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to an increase in compensation expense, $0.5 million of which related to our new Minneapolis/St. Paul division.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 23% increase in new contracts in our Midwest region, from 817 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 1,002 in the first half of 2016, and a 32% increase in backlog from 723 homes at June 30, 2015 to 954 homes at June 30, 2016. The increase s in new contracts and backlog were partially due to the addition of 91 homes in backlog from our recent acquisition in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota together with improving sub-market conditions within the region. Average sales price in backlog increased to $382,000 at June 30, 2016 compared to $371,000 at June 30, 2015 which was due to higher-end product offerings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we opened four new communities in our Midwest region compared to seven during 2015's first half. Our monthly absorption rate in our Midwest region increased to 2.4 per community in the first half of 2016 from 2.2 per community in the first half of 2015.
Southern Region. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $67.7 million, from $204.0 million in the first half of 2015 to $271.7 million in the first half of 2016. This 33% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 27% increase in the number of homes delivered (161 units) and a 6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($20,000 per home delivered) in addition to a $0.7 million increase in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Southern region decreased $3.0 million from $16.6 million in the first half of 2015 to $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in operating income was the result of a $6.2 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense offset, in part, by a $3.3 million improvement in our gross margin. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales declined $1.6 million as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered improved $4.9 million, due to the 27% increase in the number of homes delivered and the 6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered noted above, partially offset by a $4.9 million charge for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities during 2016's first half. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 330 basis points from 19.8% in prior year’s first half to 16.5% in 2016's first half. Exclusive of the stucco-related charge, however, our housing gross margin percentage was 18.4% in the first half of 2016. This 140 basis point decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of communities delivering homes and higher construction and lot costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.2 million from $24.1 million in the first half of 2015 to $30.3 million in the first half of 2016 but declined as a percentage of revenue to 11.2% compared to 11.8% for the first half of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $4.0 million increase in selling expense due to (1) a $3.4 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions from the higher average sales price of homes delivered and higher number of homes delivered, and (2) a $0.6 million increase in non-variable selling expenses primarily related to costs associated with our sales offices and models as a result of our increase d community count. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $2.2 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a increases in compensation and land related expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 23% increase in new contracts in our Southern region, from 821 in the first half of 2015 to 1,007 for the first half of 2016, and a 20% increase in backlog from 684 homes at June 30, 2015 to 819 homes at June 30, 2016. The increase s in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to improved demand in our Florida markets as well as continued growth in our Texas operations. Average sales price in backlog decreased, however, to $352,000 at June 30, 2016 from $368,000 at June 30, 2015 due to a change in product type and market mix. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we opened 13 communities in our Southern region compared to 15 during 2015's first half. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region was 2.5 per community in the first half of 2016, the same as in the first half of 2015.
Mid-Atlantic Region. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, homebuilding revenue in our Mid-Atlantic region increased $1.2 million from $161.7 million in the first half of 2015 to $162.9 million in 2016's first half. This 1% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 4% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($13,000 per home delivered), offset, in part, by a $4.6 million decrease in land sale revenue compared to prior year. Operating income in our Mid-Atlantic region decreased $1.5 million, from $13.0 million in 2015's first half to $11.5 million during the first six months of 2016. This decline in operating income was primarily the result of a $0.8 million decrease in our gross margin in addition to a $0.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on land sales declined $1.6 million as a result of fewer strategic land sales in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our gross margin on homes delivered improved $0.8 million, due to the increase in the average sales price of homes delivered noted above. Our housing gross margin percentage declined slightly from 18.3% in prior year’s first half to 18.1% in 2016's first half. This 20 basis point decline in housing gross margin percentage was largely due to higher construction and lot costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.7 million from $16.9 million in the first half of 2015 to $17.6 million in 2016's first half and increased as a percentage of revenue to 10.8% compared to 10.5% for 2015's first half. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions from the higher average sales price of homes delivered. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $0.4 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a increases in compensation and land related expenses.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we experienced a 16% increase in new contracts in our Mid-Atlantic region, from 570 in the first half of 2015 to 659 in the first six months of 2016, and a 31% increase in the number of homes in backlog from 387 homes at June 30, 2015 to 508 homes at June 30, 2016. Average sales price of homes in backlog increased from $355,000 at June 30, 2015 to $374,000 at June 30, 2016. We opened six communities in our Mid-Atlantic region during both the first half of 2016 and 2015. Our monthly absorption rate in our Mid-Atlantic region increased to 2.8 per community in the first six months of 2016 from 2.7 per community in the first half of 2015.
Financial Services. Revenue from our mortgage and title operations increased $3.0 million (17%) from $17.0 million in the first half of 2015 to $20.0 million in the first half of 2016 as a result of an 11% increase in the number of loan originations, from 1,234 in the first half of 2015 to 1,365 in the first half of 2016, and a 10% increase in the average loan amount from $270,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $296,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, we experienced higher margins on our loans sold than we experienced in 2015's first half due to more favorable market conditions in the first quarter of 2016.
We ended the first half of 2016 with a $1.1 million increase in operating income compared to the first half of 2015, which was primarily due to the increase in our revenue discussed above, offset, in part, by a $1.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to 2015's first half, which was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase in compensation expense, a $0.3 million increase in expenses related to mortgage loans sold, and a $0.3 million increase in computer costs related to our investment in new information systems.
At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial provided financing services in all of our markets. Approximately 82% of our homes delivered during the first half of 2016 were financed through M/I Financial, compared to 81% in the same period in 2015. Capture rate is influenced by financing availability and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.6 million, from $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the purchase of an airplane during the first quarter of 2016 and depreciation expense from our investment in new information systems.
Interest Expense - Net. Interest expense for the Company increased $1.4 million, from $8.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $9.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in our weighted average borrowings from $518.6 million in the first half of 2015 to $612.5 million in the first half of 2016. The increase in our weighted average borrowings primarily related to an increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility during 2016's first half compared to 2015's first half, combined with an increase in the principal amount of senior notes outstanding at June 30, 2016
40

($300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes outstanding at June 30, 2016 compared to $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes outstanding at June 30, 2015). Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in our weighted average borrowing rate from 6.38% in the first half of 2015 to 5.79% for 2016's first half which was primarily due to the lower interest rate payable on the 2021 Senior Notes compared with the interest rate payable on the 2018 Senior Notes that were outstanding during the first half of 2015.
Earnings from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures represent our portion of pre-tax earnings from our joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures and other similar arrangements. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company earned $0.4 million and $0.2 million in equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate was 36.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 39.0% for the same period in 2015. The lower effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to the impact of annual tax benefits expected for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits that were realized during 2016's first half.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview of Capital Resources and Liquidity.
At June 30, 2016, we had $30.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with $27.7 million of this amount comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which represents a $17.5 million increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2015. Our principal uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were investment in land and land development, construction of homes, mortgage loan originations, investment in joint ventures, operating expenses, and short-term working capital and debt service requirements, including the repayment of amounts outstanding under our credit facilities. In order to fund these uses of cash, we used proceeds from home deliveries and the sale of mortgage loans, as well as excess cash balances, borrowings under our credit facilities, and other sources of liquidity.
We are actively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to replenish and grow our lot supply and active community count. We expect to continue to expand our business based on the anticipated level of demand for new homes in our markets. Accordingly, we expect our cash outlays for land purchases, land development, home construction and operating expenses may exceed our cash generated by operations during some of the remaining monthly periods in 2016, and we expect to continue to utilize our revolving credit facility.
During the first half of 2016, we delivered 1,918 homes, started 2,558 homes, and spent $97.4 million on land purchases and $73.5 million on land development. Based upon our business activity levels, market conditions, and opportunities for land in our markets, we currently estimate that we will spend approximately $425 million to $475 million on land purchases and land development during 2016, including the $170.9 million spent during the first six months of 2016.
We also continue to enter into land option agreements, taking into consideration current and projected market conditions, to secure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, as of June 30, 2016, we had purchase agreements to acquire $533.1 million of land and lots during the remainder of 2016 through 2028.
Land transactions are subject to a number of factors, including our financial condition and market conditions, as well as satisfaction of various conditions related to specific properties. We will continue to monitor market conditions and our ongoing pace of home deliveries and adjust our land spending accordingly.
Operating Cash Flow Activities. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we had $40.5 million of cash provided by operating activities, compared to $46.2 million of cash used in operating activities during the first half of 2015. The cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2016 was primarily a result of net income and deferred tax expense totaling $38.9 million, along with $28.8 million of proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans net of mortgage loan originations during the first half of 2016, offset partially by a $46.9 million increase in inventory. The $46.2 million of cash used in operating activities in the first half of 2015 was primarily a result of a $108.2 million increase in inventory, offset by net income and deferred tax expense totaling $36.3 million, along with $16.9 million of proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans net of mortgage loan originations.
Investing Cash Flow Activities. During the first half of 2016, we used $15.8 million of cash in investing activities, compared to $4.0 million of cash used in investing activities during the first half of 2015. This $11.7 million increase in cash used was primarily due to a $9.6 million increase in property and equipment primarily consisting of our purchase of an airplane during the first quarter of 2016 to assist in efficiency of managing our 15 operating divisions.
41

Financing Cash Flow Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used $7.2 million of cash from financing activities, compared to generating $56.5 million of cash during the first six months of 2015. The $63.7 million decrease in cash generated by financing activities was due to increased repayments of borrowings under our MIF credit facilities and our Credit Facility (as defined below).
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our ratio of net debt to net capital was 49% and 50%, respectively, calculated as the principal amount outstanding of our total debt minus total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, divided by the sum of the principal amount outstanding of our total debt minus total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash plus shareholders’ equity. The decrease compared to December 31, 2015 was due to an increase in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2016 combined with a moderately lower amount of net debt outstanding. We believe that this ratio provides useful information regarding our financial position, for understanding the leverage employed in our operations and for comparing us with other homebuilders.
We fund our operations with cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from home deliveries, land sales and the sale of mortgage loans. We believe that these sources of cash, along with our balance of unrestricted cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, investment in land and land development, construction of homes, operating expenses, planned capital spending, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we routinely monitor current operational requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities to strengthen our liquidity or our long-term capital structure. The financing needs of our homebuilding and financial services operations depend on anticipated sales volume in the current year as well as future years, inventory levels and related turnover, forecasted land and lot purchases, debt maturity dates, and other factors. If we seek such additional capital, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such additional equity or debt financing could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and/or increase our interest costs.
The Company is a party to three primary credit agreements: (1) a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility dated July 18, 2013, as amended , with M/I Homes, Inc. as borrower and guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned homebuilding subsidiaries (the “Credit Facility”); (2) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated June 24, 2016 (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”), with M/I Financial as borrower; and (3) a $15 million mortgage repurchase agreement with M/I Financial as borrower, dated November 3, 2015 (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”).
Included in the table below is a summary of our available sources of cash from the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of June 30, 2016:

(In thousands) | Expiration Date | Outstanding Balance | Available Amount
Notes payable – homebuilding (a) | 10/20/2018 | $ | 70,000 |  | $ | 294,340 |
Notes payable – financial services (b) | (b) | $ | 92,666 |  | $ | 737 |

(a) | The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculation, which totaled $499.7 million of availability at June 30, 2016, such that the full $400 million commitment amount of the facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. There were $70.0 million borrowings and $35.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2016, leaving $294.3 million available. The Credit Facility has an expiration date of October 20, 2018.

(b) | The available amount is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculations under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility, each of which may be increased by pledging additional mortgage collateral. The maximum aggregate commitment amount of M/I Financial's warehousing agreements as of June 30, 2016 was $140 million. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement has an expiration date of June 23, 2017 and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility has an expiration date of November 1, 2016.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding.
Homebuilding Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $400 million, including a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on October 20, 2018. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility was payable at either the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 150 basis points, or at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 250 basis points. These interest rates are subject to adjustment in subsequent periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility constitute senior, unsecured indebtedness and availability is subject to, among other things, a borrowing base calculated using various advance rates for different categories of inventory. The Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants which require, among other things, that the Company maintain (1) a minimum level of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $392.2 million (subject to increase over time based on earnings and proceeds from equity offerings), (2) a leverage ratio not in excess of 60%, and (3) either a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or a minimum

amount of available liquidity. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the Company’s number of unsold housing units and model homes, as well as the amount of Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 11), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The guarantors for the Credit Facility are the same subsidiaries that guarantee our 2021 Senior Notes, our $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”), and our $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes”).
As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility, including financial covenants. The following table summarizes the most significant restrictive covenant thresholds under the Credit Facility and our compliance with such covenants as of June 30, 2016:

Financial Covenant |  | Covenant Requirement |  | Actual
|  | (Dollars in millions)
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth | ≥ | $ | 392.2 |  |  | $ | 567.0 |
Leverage Ratio | ≤ | 0.60 |  |  | 0.48 |
Interest Coverage Ratio | ≥ | 1.5 to 1.0 |  |  | 4.2 to 1.0 |
Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures | ≤ | $ | 170.1 |  |  | $ | 18.1 |
Unsold Housing Units and Model Homes | ≤ | 1,458 |  |  | 710 |

Homebuilding Letter of Credit Facilities. The Company is party to three secured credit agreements for the issuance of letters of credit outside of the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Facilities”), with maturity dates ranging from August 31, 2016 to June 1, 2017. Under the terms of the Letter of Credit Facilities, letters of credit can be issued for maximum terms ranging from one year up to three years. The Letter of Credit Facilities contain cash collateral requirements ranging from 101% to 105%. Upon maturity or the earlier termination of the Letter of Credit Facilities, letters of credit that have been issued under the Letter of Credit Facilities remain outstanding with cash collateral in place through the respective expiration dates.
The agreements governing the Letter of Credit Facilities contain limits for the issuance of letters of credit ranging from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, for a combined letter of credit capacity of $12.0 million, of which $4.9 million was uncommitted at June 30, 2016 and could be withdrawn at any time. As of June 30, 2016, there was a total of $1.7 million of letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facilities, which was collateralized with $1.7 million of restricted cash.
Notes Payable - Financial Services.
MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. In June 2016, M/I Financial amended and restated the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement which, among other things, increased the maximum borrowing availability from $110 million to $125 million and extended the expiration date to June 23, 2017. The maximum borrowing availability was further increased to $150 million during certain periods with higher expected mortgage origination volume, specifically from September 25, 2016 to October 15, 2016 and from December 15, 2016 to February 2, 2017. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and (2) 2.75%.
The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is secured by certain mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial that are being “warehoused” prior to their sale to investors. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings. There are currently no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, although M/I Financial may, at its election, designate from time to time any one or more of M/I Financial’s subsidiaries as guarantors.
43

As of June 30, 2016, there was $79.6 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and M/I Financial was in compliance with all covenants. The financial covenants, as more fully described and defined in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, are summarized in the following table, which also sets forth M/I Financial’s compliance with such covenants as of June 30, 2016:

Financial Covenant |  | Covenant Requirement |  | Actual
|  | (Dollars in millions)
Leverage Ratio | ≤ | 10.0 to 1.0 |  |  | 5.0 to 1.0 |
Liquidity | ≥ | $ | 6.3 |  |  | $ | 10.2 |
Adjusted Net Income | > | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | 9.9 |
Tangible Net Worth | ≥ | $ | 12.5 |  |  | $ | 20.6 |

MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and is structured as a mortgage repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing availability of $15 million and an expiration date of November 1, 2016. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the floating LIBOR rate plus 250 or 275 basis points depending on the loan type. The covenants in the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are substantially similar to the covenants in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings, which are substantially similar to the restrictions in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. There are currently no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. As of June 30, 2016, there was $13.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2016.
Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.
6.75% Senior Notes. In December 2015, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket”; make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.
See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2021 Senior Notes.
3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. In March 2013, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. The conversion rate initially equals 30.9478 shares per $1,000 of their principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $32.31 per common share, which equates to approximately 2.7 million common shares. See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2018 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.
3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. In September 2012, the Company issued $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The conversion rate initially equals 42.0159 shares per $1,000 of principal amount. This corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.80 per common share which equates to approximately 2.4 million common shares. See Note 7 for more information regarding the 2017 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.
Weighted Average Borrowings. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our weighted average borrowings outstanding were $616.2 million and $534.2 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.68% and 6.26%, respectively. The increase in our weighted average borrowings related to an increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility during 2016's second quarter compared to 2015's second quarter, combined with the increase in the principal amount outstanding under our 2021 Senior Notes of $300.0 million, compared with $230.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes outstanding during the second quarter of 2015. The decline in our weighted average borrowing interest rate was also primarily due to the increase in borrowings under the Credit Facility, which has a lower rate, as well as the lower interest rate payable on the 2021 Senior Notes compared with the interest rate on the 2018 Senior Notes that were outstanding during the second quarter of 2015.
At June 30, 2016, we had $70.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $107.8 million and the maximum amount outstanding under the
44

Credit Facility was $149.9 million. Based on our current anticipated spending on land acquisition and development in 2016, and associated increases in our investment in inventory, including land and houses under construction, we expect to continue to borrow under the Credit Facility during 2016, with an estimated peak amount outstanding of less than $200 million. The actual amount borrowed in 2016 (and the estimated peak amount outstanding) and related timing are subject to numerous factors, including the timing and amount of land and house construction expenditures, payroll and other general and administrative expenses, cash receipts from home deliveries, other cash receipts and payments, any capital markets transactions or other additional financings by the Company and any repayments or redemptions of outstanding debt. The Company may experience significant variation in cash and Credit Facility balances from week to week due to the timing of such receipts and payments.
There were $35.7 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the average daily amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $37.5 million and the maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $39.9 million.
At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial had $79.6 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement was $43.6 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $104.6 million.
At June 30, 2016, M/I Financial had $13.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility was $8.9 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $19.0 million, which occurred during January, while the “seasonal increase” provision was in effect and the maximum borrowing availability was $20.0 million.
Preferred Shares. At June 30, 2016, we had 2,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/1000 th of a Series A Preferred Share, or 2,000 Series A Preferred Shares in the aggregate, outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference equal to $25 per depositary share (plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) for the then current quarterly dividend period accrued to but excluding the date of final distribution). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are non-cumulative and, if declared by us, are paid at an annual rate of 9.75%. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears, if declared by us, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. If there is a change of control of the Company and if the Company’s corporate credit rating is withdrawn or downgraded to a certain level (together constituting a “change of control event”), the dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares will increase to 10.75% per year. We may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in whole or in part (provided, that any redemption that would reduce the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares below $25 million in the aggregate would be restricted to a redemption in whole only) at any time or from time to time at a cash redemption price equal to $25 per depositary share (plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) for the then current quarterly dividend period accrued to but excluding the redemption date). Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no right to require redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund provisions, are not convertible into any other securities, and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights, except with respect to those specified matters set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or as otherwise required by applicable Ohio law, and no preemptive rights. The outstanding depositary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MHO-PrA.” There is no separate public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares except as represented by the depositary shares.
The indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes limits our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indenture. The restricted payments basket was $135.1 million at June 30, 2016. We are permitted by the indenture to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares to the extent of such positive balance in our restricted payments basket. We declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $609.375 per share on our Series A Preferred Shares in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 for $1.2 million and have paid an aggregate dividend payment of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The determination to pay future dividends on, and make future repurchases of, our common shares and Series A Preferred Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants and the terms of our Series A Preferred Shares, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Universal Shelf Registration. In October 2013, the Company filed a $400 million universal shelf registration statement with the SEC, which registration statement became effective on December 20, 2013 and and will expire in December 2016. Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company may, from time to time, offer debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares or units of two or more of those securities, rights to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or depositary shares, stock purchase contracts and units. The timing and amount of offerings, if any, will depend on market and general business conditions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations appearing in the Contractual Obligations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Notes 3, 5 and 6 discuss our off-balance sheet arrangements with respect to land acquisition contracts and option agreements, and land development joint ventures, including the nature and amounts of financial obligations relating to these items. In addition, these Notes discuss the nature and amounts of certain types of commitments that arise in the ordinary course of our land development and homebuilding operations, including commitments of land development joint ventures for which we might be obligated.
Our off-balance sheet arrangements relating to our homebuilding operations include unconsolidated joint ventures, land option agreements, guarantees and indemnifications associated with acquiring and developing land, and the issuance of letters of credit and completion bonds. Our use of these arrangements is for the purpose of securing the most desirable lots on which to build homes for our homebuyers in a manner that we believe reduces the overall risk to the Company. Additionally, in the ordinary course of its business, our financial services operations issue guarantees and indemnities relating to the sale of loans to third parties.
Land Option Agreements. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In cases where we are the primary beneficiary, even though we do not have title to such land, we are required to consolidate these purchase/option agreements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing under land option or purchase agreements.
At June 30, 2016, “Consolidated Inventory Not Owned” was $5.2 million. At June 30, 2016, the corresponding liability of $5.2 million has been classified as Obligation for Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other than the Consolidated Inventory Not Owned balance, the Company currently believes that its maximum exposure as of June 30, 2016 related to our land option agreements is equal to the amount of the Company’s outstanding deposits and prepaid acquisition costs, which totaled $42.0 million, including cash deposits of $29.8 million, prepaid acquisition costs of $3.7 million, letters of credit of $5.2 million and $3.3 million of other non-cash deposits.
Letters of Credit and Completion Bonds. The Company provides standby letters of credit and completion bonds for development work in progress, deposits on land and lot purchase agreements and miscellaneous deposits. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding $130.2 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities, that expire at various times through May 2024. Included in this total are: (1) $85.5 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $30.2 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $7.1 million of financial letters of credit; and (3) $7.4 million of financial bonds. The development agreements under which we are required to provide completion bonds or letters of credit are generally not subject to a required completion date and only require that the improvements are in place in phases as houses are built and sold. In locations where development has progressed, the amount of development work remaining to be completed is typically less than the remaining amount of bonds or letters of credit due to timing delays in obtaining release of the bonds or letters of credit.
Guarantees and Indemnities. In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial enters into agreements that guarantee purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur. The risks associated with these guarantees are offset by the value of the underlying assets, and the Company accrues its best estimate of the probable loss on these loans. Additionally, the Company has provided certain other guarantees and indemnities in connection with the acquisition and development of land by our homebuilding operations. Refer to Note 5 for additional details relating to our guarantees and indemnities.
46

INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION
Our business is significantly affected by general economic conditions within the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest rates and inflation. Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor can result in a need to increase the sales prices of homes. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand and the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. Higher interest rates also may decrease our potential market by making it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages at interest rates that are acceptable to them. The impact of increased rates can be offset, in part, by offering variable rate loans with lower interest rates. In conjunction with our mortgage financing services, hedging methods are used to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations between the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes. Rising interest rates, as well as increased materials and labor costs, may reduce gross margins. An increase in material and labor costs is particularly a problem during a period of declining home prices. Conversely, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.
47

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our revolving credit and mortgage repurchase facilities, consisting of the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility which permit borrowings of up to $540 million, subject to availability constraints. Additionally, M/I Financial is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are extended to certain home-buying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to twelve months.
Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.
Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities: Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a best-efforts contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.
The table below shows the notional amounts of our financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

| June 30, |  | December 31,
Description of Financial Instrument (in thousands) | 2016 |  | 2015
Best-effort contracts and related committed IRLCs | $ | 3,800 |  |  | $ | 2,625 |

FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs | 87,000 |  |  | 46,000 |
Best-effort contracts and related mortgage loans held for sale | 9,660 |  |  | 100,152 |
FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale | 85,000 |  |  | 27,000 |
Mortgage loans held for sale covered by FMBSs | 86,941 |  |  | 26,690 |

The table below shows the measurement of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

The following table provides the expected future cash flows and current fair values of borrowings under our credit facilities and mortgage loan origination services that are subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate, as of June 30, 2016. Because the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 30 to 45 days, their outstanding balances are included in the most current period presented. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at June 30, 2016. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have received claims from homeowners in certain of our Florida communities (and been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners) related to stucco on their homes. Please refer to Note 6 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these stucco claims.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings.
