Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations We continually review each of our markets in order to refine our overall investment strategy and to optimize capital and resource allocations in an effort to enhance our financial position and to increase shareholder value. This review entails an evaluation of both external market factors and our position in each market and over time has resulted in the decision to discontinue certain of our homebuilding operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we decided to discontinue our homebuilding operations in Northwest Florida which has historically been reported in our Southeast segment. We have classified the results of operations of our discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. There were no material assets or liabilities related to our discontinued operations as of March 31, 2012 or September 30, 2011. Discontinued operations were not segregated in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree with the respective data in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of our discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):
