In addition, the increase in contract liabilities decreased revenues on lot sales to D.R. Horton by $1.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019 and decreased revenues by $3.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reimbursed D.R.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, undeveloped land was $15.4 million and $17.1 million.
