    We obtained the market and competitive position data used

    prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this
    prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus from our

    sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the
    accuracy and completeness of such information. While we believe
    that each of these studies and publications is reliable, neither

    Due to the progressive weakening of demand in our homebuilding
    markets over the past several years, we have experienced
    declines in revenues and gross profit, sustained significant
    asset impairment charges, and incurred losses before income
    taxes in fiscal 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. Although the timing
    of a recovery in the housing market is unclear, because certain
    long-term fundamentals which support housing demand, namely
    population growth and household formation, remain solid, we
    believe the current negative conditions will moderate over time.
    Consequently, our primary focus while market conditions have

    past several years has been to strengthen our financial
    condition by reducing inventories of homes and land, controlling
    and reducing construction and overhead costs, maximizing cash
    flows, reducing outstanding debt, and maintaining strong
    liquidity. However, in the first quarter of 2009, we began to
    see opportunities to purchase land at prices and terms that make
    economic sense in light of our sales prices and sales paces. As
    a result, we determined to either purchase or option certain new
    properties. In order to return to profitability, we will need to
    continue purchasing new land and that will generate good
    investment returns and drive greater operating efficiencies, as
    well as control expenses commensurate with our level of
    deliveries.

    In addition to our current focus on maintaining strong liquidity

    focus on our historic key business strategies. We believe that
    these strategies separate us from our competitors in the
    residential homebuilding industry and the adoption,
    implementation, and adherence to these principles will continue

    based on its ability to meet or exceed internal rate of return
    requirements. Our belief is that the best way to create lasting
    value for our shareholders is through a strong focus on return
    on invested capital. However, given market conditions during the
    downturn, until 2009, it had been difficult to find new land
    investments that meet or exceed these rate of return
    requirements. Therefore, we have focused on managing the balance
    sheet by selling through our currently owned inventory and
    conserving cash to be prepared to invest in new land when market
    conditions are right. Since the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we
    have begun to see land investment opportunities that meet or
    exceed our underwriting requirements. New land purchases at
    pricing that will generate good investment returns are needed to
    return to profitability.

    impairments and gain on extinguishment of debt should be
    considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, (loss)
    income before income taxes, net income (loss) and other measures
    of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that
    are presented on the financial statements and notes included in
    Hovnanian&#146;s public filings. Additionally, the
    Company&#146;s calculation of (Loss) income before income taxes
    excluding land-related charges, intangible impairments and gain
    on extinguishment of debt may be different than the calculation
    used by other companies, and, therefore, comparability may be
    affected. Management believes (Loss) income before income taxes
    excluding land-related charges, intangible impairments and gain
    on extinguishment of debt to be relevant and useful information
    because it provides a better metric for our operating
    performance.</TD>

    Turmoil in the financial markets could affect our liquidity. In
    addition, our cash balances are primarily invested in short-term
    government-backed instruments. The remaining cash balances are
    held at numerous financial institutions and may, at times,
    exceed insurable amounts. We believe we help to mitigate this
    risk by depositing our cash in major financial institutions and
    diversifying our investments. In addition, our homebuilding
    operations often require us to obtain letters of credit. In
    connection with the issuance of our senior secured first lien
    notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we terminated our
    revolving credit facility and refinanced the borrowing capacity
    thereunder. In addition, we entered into certain stand alone
    letter of credit facilities, and agreements pursuant to which
    all of the outstanding letters of credit under our revolving
    credit facility were replaced with letters of credit issued
    under such new letter of credit facilities and agreements.
    However, we may need additional letters of credit above the
    amounts provided under these new letter of credit facilities and
    agreements. If we are unable to obtain such additional letters
    of credit as needed to operate our business, we may be adversely
    affected.

    Weather conditions and natural disasters such as hurricanes,
    tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, fires and other
    environmental conditions can harm the local homebuilding
    business. Our business in Florida was adversely affected in late
    2005 and into 2006 due to the effect of Hurricane Wilma on
    materials and labor availability and pricing. Conversely,
    Hurricane Ike, which hit Houston in September 2008, did not have
    an effect on materials and labor availability or pricing, but
    did affect the volume of home sales in subsequent weeks.

    The difficulties described above could cause us to take longer

    recapture increased costs by raising prices in many cases
    because we fix our prices up to 12&#160;months in advance of

    The homebuilding industry is now experiencing a significant and
    sustained downturn. An industry-wide softening of demand for new
    homes has resulted from a lack of consumer confidence, decreased
    availability of mortgage financing, and large supplies of resale
    and new home inventories, among other factors. In addition, an
    oversupply of alternatives to new homes, such as rental
    properties, resale homes, and foreclosures, has depressed prices
    and reduced margins for the sale of new homes. Industry
    conditions had a material adverse effect on our business and
    results of operations in fiscal years 2007 through 2010 and may
    continue to materially adversely affect our business and results
    of operations in fiscal 2011. Further, we substantially
    increased our inventory through fiscal 2006, which required
    significant cash outlays and which has increased our price and
    margin exposure as we continue to work through this inventory.
    Looking forward, if the housing market continues to deteriorate
    it will become more difficult to generate positive cash flow.
    General economic conditions in the U.S.&#160;remain weak. Market
    volatility has been unprecedented and extraordinary in the last
    several years, and the resulting economic turmoil may continue
    to exacerbate industry conditions or have other unforeseen
    consequences, leading to uncertainty about future conditions in
    the homebuilding industry. Continuation or worsening of this
    downturn or general economic conditions would continue to have a
    material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, and results
    of operations.

    In addition, an increase in the default rate on the mortgages we
    originate may adversely affect our ability to sell mortgages or
    the pricing we receive upon the sale of mortgages. Although
    substantially all of the mortgage loans we originate are sold in
    the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released,
    non-recourse basis, we remain liable for certain limited
    representations, such as fraud, and warranties related to loan
    sales. As default rates rise, this may increase our potential
    exposure regarding mortgage loan sales because investors may
    seek to have us buy back or make whole investors for mortgages
    we previously sold. To date, we have not made significant
    payments related to our mortgage loans but because of the
    uncertainties inherent to these matters, actual future payments
    could differ significantly from our currently estimated amounts.

    These programs are expected to wind down over time; for example
    the California tax credit ended in the fourth quarter of fiscal
    2009 and the federal tax credit expired in April 2010. In
    addition, in fiscal 2010, the U.S.&#160;Department of Housing

    Land inventory risk can be substantial for homebuilders. We must

    into new markets and for replacement and expansion of land
    inventory within our current markets. The market value of
    undeveloped land, buildable lots, and housing inventories can
    fluctuate significantly as a result of changing economic and
    market conditions. In the event of significant changes in
    economic or market conditions, we may have to sell homes at a

    2009, and 2008, we decided not to exercise many option contracts
    and walked away from land option deposits and predevelopment
    costs, which resulted in land option write-offs of
    $13.2&#160;million, $45.4&#160;million and $114.1&#160;million,

    losses on owned property of $122.5&#160;million,
    $614.1&#160;million, and $596.0&#160;million, respectively. If
    market conditions continue to worsen, additional inventory

    We are subject to extensive and complex regulations that affect
    the development and home building, sales, and customer financing
    processes, including zoning, density, building standards, and

    In light of recent developments in the home building industry
    and the financial markets, federal, state, or local governments
    may seek to adopt regulations that limit or prohibit

    could negatively impact the availability of land and building

    U.S.&#160;Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
    U.S.&#160;Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding alleged
    violations of storm water discharge requirements. In resolution
    of this matter, in April 2010 we agreed to the terms of a
    consent decree with the EPA, DOJ and the states of Virginia,
    Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia
    (collectively the States). The consent decree was approved by
    the federal district court in August 2010. Under the terms of
    the consent decree, we have paid a fine of $1.0&#160;million
    collectively to the United States and the States named above and
    have agreed to perform under the terms of the consent decree for
    a minimum of three years, which includes implementing certain
    operational and training measures nationwide to facilitate
    ongoing compliance with storm water regulations. More recently,
    the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is
    seeking a civil penalty from us in connection with notices of
    violation for allegedly failing to comply with a storm water
    permit at an incomplete project in the state of New York; and
    the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has
    contacted us regarding violations it asserts occurred when one

    As a homebuilder, we are subject to construction defect and home
    warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Such
    claims are common in the homebuilding industry and can be
    costly. In addition, the amount and scope of coverage offered by
    insurance companies is currently limited, and this coverage may
    be further restricted and become more costly. If we are not able
    to obtain adequate insurance against such claims, we may
    experience losses that could hurt our financial results. Our
    financial results could also be adversely affected if we were to
    experience an unusually high number of claims or unusually
    severe claims. Recently, other homebuilders in Alabama, Florida,
    Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas have had construction defect
    claims associated with allegedly defective drywall manufactured
    in China (Chinese Drywall) that may be responsible for noxious
    smells and accelerated corrosion of certain metals in the home.
    We have currently identified 10&#160;homes with Chinese Drywall
    that must be remediated, and we have been notified of 19 more
    homes that potentially have Chinese Drywall that may need
    remediation. These homes are located in our Florida and Houston
    markets. The estimated costs of the remediations of these homes
    are reserved. If additional homes are identified to have this
    issue, or our actual costs to remediate differ from our current
    estimated costs, it may require us to revise our warranty
    reserves.

    Geopolitical events, such as the aftermath of the war with Iraq
    and the continuing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, may have
    a substantial impact on the economy and the housing market. The
    terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on
    September&#160;11, 2001 had an impact on our business and the
    occurrence of similar events in the future cannot be ruled out.
    The war and the continuing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan,
    terrorism, and related geopolitical risks have created many
    economic and political uncertainties, some of which may have
    additional material adverse effects on the U.S.&#160;economy,
    and our customers and, in turn, our results of operations and

    collateral securing this indebtedness was approximately

    The guarantees of the Notes by the Guarantors provide the
    holders of the Notes with a direct claim against the assets of
    the Guarantors. The guarantees, however, will be limited to the
    maximum amount that can be guaranteed by a particular Guarantor
    without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to that
    Guarantor, voidable or otherwise ineffective under applicable
    law. This limit may not be effective to protect the guarantees
    from being voided under fraudulent transfer laws or may
    eliminate any Guarantor&#146;s obligations or reduce such
    Guarantor&#146;s obligations to an amount that effectively makes
    the guarantee worthless. In a recent Florida bankruptcy case, a
    similar limit was found to be ineffective to protect the
    guarantees. In addition, enforcement of any of these guarantees
    against any Guarantor will be subject to certain defenses
    available to Guarantors generally. These laws and defenses
    include those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer,
    voidable preference, corporate purpose or benefit, preservation
    of share capital, thin capitalization and regulations or
    defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally. If one or
    more of these laws and defenses are applicable, a Guarantor may
    have no liability or decreased liability under its guarantee.

    Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing

    participants deposit with DTC. DTC also records the settlements
    among direct participants of securities transactions, such as
    transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
    computerized records for direct participants&#146; accounts.
    This book-entry system eliminates the need to exchange
    certificated securities. Direct participants include securities

    You must include OID in gross income as the OID accrues on the

    during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which
    you held such note (&#147;accrued OID&#148;). The daily portion

    accrual period. The &#147;accrual period&#148; for a Note may be

    The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period other than the

    accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the
    accrual period) over (ii)&#160;the aggregate of all stated
    interest allocable to the accrual period. OID allocable to a
    final accrual period is the difference between the amount
    payable at maturity (other than a payment of stated interest)
    and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final
    accrual period. The yield to maturity of the Note is the
    discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on
    the Note as of its original issue date to equal the issue price
    of such Note. The &#147;adjusted issue price&#148; of a Note at
    the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price

    The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not
    intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these
    rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons
    involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is
    particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons
    considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of, or with the
    assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the
    potential applicability of ERISA, Section&#160;4975 of the Code
    and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption
    would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the Notes.

    of the SEC under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary

    Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of
    pricing or the next three succeeding business days will be
    required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will
    settle in T+7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the
    time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should

    For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges
    and the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
    preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of earnings from
    continuing operations before income taxes and income or loss
    from equity investees, plus fixed charges and distributed income
    of equity investees, less interest capitalized. Fixed charges
    consist of all interest incurred, plus that portion of operating
    lease rental expense (33%) deemed to be representative of
    interest, plus the amortization of debt issuance costs and bond
    discounts. Combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends
    consist of fixed charges and preferred stock dividends declared.
    The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 was the first period we
    declared and paid preferred stock dividends, and due to covenant
    restrictions, we have been prohibited from paying dividends
    beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The
    following table sets forth the ratios of earnings to fixed
    charges and the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and
    preferred stock dividends for each of the periods indicated:

    Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for that
    global security or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry
    registration and transfer system, the respective principal
    amounts of the individual debt securities represented by that
    global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts
    with such depositary. Those accounts will be designated by the
    dealers, underwriters or agents with respect to those debt
    securities or by the issuer if the debt securities are offered
    and sold directly by the issuer. Ownership of beneficial
    interests in a global security will be limited to persons that
    have accounts with the applicable depositary, participants, or
    persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership
    of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on,
    and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only
    through, records maintained by the applicable depositary or its
    nominee, with respect to interests of participants, and the
    records of participants, with respect to interests of persons
    other than participants. The laws of some states require that
    certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these
    securities in definitive form. These limits and laws may impair
    the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global
    security.

    the registered owner of the global security representing the

    shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee.
    Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian also expect that payments by
    participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global
    security held through the participants will be governed by
    standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the
    case with securities held for the accounts of customers in
    bearer form or registered in &#147;street name.&#148; These
    payments will be the responsibility of the participants. Neither
    Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian, the trustee for such debt securities,
    any paying agent nor the registrar for the debt securities will
    have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
    records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
    ownership interests of the global security for the debt
    securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
    records relating to beneficial ownership interests.

    On July&#160;29, 2008, the Board of Directors of Hovnanian
    adopted a rights plan, the &#147;Rights Plan,&#148; and declared
    a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each
    outstanding share of Class&#160;A Common Stock and Class&#160;B
    Common Stock, which was subsequently paid to stockholders of
    record as of August&#160;15, 2008. Subject to the terms,
    provisions and conditions of the rights plan, if and when they
    become exercisable, each right would entitle its holder to
    purchase from Hovnanian one ten-thousandth of a share of
    Hovnanian&#146;s Series&#160;B Junior Preferred Stock for a
    purchase price of $35.00, the &#147;Purchase Price.&#148; If
    issued, each fractional share of Preferred Stock would give the
    stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and
    liquidation rights as does one share of Hovnanian&#146;s
    Class&#160;A Common Stock. However, prior to exercise, a right
    does not give its holder any rights as a stockholder of
    Hovnanian, including without limitation any dividend, voting or
    liquidation rights.

    The Board of Directors of Hovnanian adopted the Rights Plan in
    an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect
    against a possible limitation on Hovnanian&#146;s ability to use
    our net operating loss carryforwards, &#147;NOLs,&#148; to
    reduce potential future federal income tax obligations.
    Hovnanian has experienced and continues to experience
    substantial operating losses, and under the Internal Revenue
    Code and rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service,
    Hovnanian may &#147;carry forward&#148; these losses in certain
    circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus
    reduce its federal income tax liability, subject to certain
    requirements and restrictions. To the extent that the NOLs do
    not otherwise become limited, Hovnanian believes that it will be
    able to carry forward a significant amount of NOLs, and
    therefore these NOLs could be a substantial asset to Hovnanian.
    However, if Hovnanian experiences an &#147;Ownership
    Change,&#148; as defined in Section&#160;382 of the Internal
    Revenue Code, Hovnanian&#146;s ability to use the NOLs will be
    substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs
    could be substantially delayed, which could therefore
    significantly impair the value of that asset. The Rights Plan is
    intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group acquiring
    4.9% or more of our outstanding Class&#160;A Common Stock, an
    &#147;Acquiring Person,&#148; without the approval of
    Hovnanian&#146;s Board.

    At a special meeting of stockholders held on December&#160;5,
    2008, Hovnanian&#146;s stockholders approved an amendment to its
    Certificate of Incorporation to restrict certain transfers of
    Class&#160;A Common Stock in order to preserve the tax treatment
    of Hovnanian&#146;s NOLs under Section&#160;382 of the Internal
    Revenue Code. Subject to certain exceptions pertaining to
    pre-existing 5% stockholders and Class&#160;B stockholders, the
    transfer restrictions in the amended Certificate of
    Incorporation generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer
    (such as transfers of Hovnanian&#146;s stock that result from
    the transfer of interests in other entities that own
    Hovnanian&#146;s stock) if the effect would be to:
    (i)&#160;increase the direct or indirect ownership of
    Hovnanian&#146;s stock by any person (or public group) from less
    than 5% to 5% or more of Hovnanian&#146;s common stock;
    (ii)&#160;increase the percentage of Hovnanian&#146;s common
    stock owned directly or indirectly by a person (or public group)
    owning or deemed to own 5% or more of Hovnanian&#146;s common
    stock; or (iii)&#160;create a new public group. Transfers
    included under the transfer restrictions include sales to
    persons (or public groups) whose resulting percentage ownership
    (direct or indirect) of common stock would exceed the 5%
    thresholds discussed above, or to persons whose direct or
