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

    accuracy and completeness of such information. While we believe
    that each of these studies and publications is reliable, neither
    we nor the underwriters have independently verified such data
    and neither we nor the underwriters make any representation as

    internal research is reliable, but it has not been verified by
    any independent sources.

    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
    been weak over the 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
    and evaluating new investment opportunities, we will continue to
    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
    to benefit our business.

    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

    Concurrently with this offering, pursuant to a separate
    prospectus supplement, we are also offering 3,000,000 7.25%
    tangible equity units (or 3,450,000 7.25% tangible equity units
    if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option with

    with a stated amount of $25, in an underwritten public offering
    (the &#147;Units Offering&#148; and together with the Notes
    Offering, the &#147;Concurrent Offerings&#148;). We estimate

    approximately $72.5&#160;million (or approximately
    $83.4&#160;million if the underwriters exercise their

    <FONT style="font-size: 8pt">(Loss) income before income-taxes
    excluding land-related charges, intangible impairments and gain
    on extinguishment of debt is not a financial measure calculated
    in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
    (&#147;GAAP&#148;). The most directly comparable GAAP financial
    measure is (Loss) income before income taxes. The reconciliation
    of (Loss) income before income taxes excluding land-related
    charges, intangible impairments and gain on extinguishment of
    debt to (Loss) income before income taxes is presented below.
    (Loss) income before income taxes excluding land-related
    charges, intangible 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.

    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.

    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.

    Land inventory risk can be substantial for homebuilders. We must
    continuously seek and make acquisitions of land for expansion
    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
    loss or hold land in inventory longer than planned. In the case
    of land options, we could choose not to exercise them, in which
    case we would write off the value of these options. Inventory
    carrying costs can be significant and can result in losses in a
    poorly performing project or market. The assessment of
    communities for indication of impairment is performed quarterly.
    While we consider available information to determine what we
    believe to be our best estimates as of the reporting period,

    periods as facts and circumstances change. See

    incorporated by reference herein. For example, during 2010,
    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,
    respectively. Also, in 2010, 2009, and 2008, as a result of the
    difficult market conditions, we recorded inventory impairment
    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

    financing at prevailing interest rates, including financing
    arranged or provided by us, is unobtainable within the period

    four to eight weeks following the date of execution of the sales

    Starting in 2007, many lenders have been significantly
    tightening their underwriting standards, and many subprime and
    other alternative mortgage products are no longer being made
    available in the marketplace. If these trends continue and
    mortgage loans continue to be difficult to obtain, the ability
    and willingness of prospective buyers to finance home purchases
    or to sell their existing homes will be adversely affected,
    which will adversely affect our operating results. In addition,
    we believe that the availability of mortgage financing,
    including Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home
    Loan Mortgage Corp, and FHA/VA financing, is an important factor
    in marketing many of our homes. In addition, in fiscal 2010, HUD
    tightened FHA underwriting standards. Any limitations or
    restrictions on the availability of those types of financing
    could reduce our sales.

    Significant expenses of owning a home, including mortgage
    interest expenses and real estate taxes, generally are
    deductible expenses for an individual&#146;s federal, and in
    some cases state, income taxes, subject to limitations under
    current tax law and policy. If the federal government or a state
    government were to change its income tax laws to eliminate or
    substantially limit these income tax deductions, as has been
    discussed from time to time, the after-tax cost of owning a new
    home would increase for many of our potential customers. The
    loss or reduction of these homeowner tax deductions, if such tax
    law changes were enacted without any offsetting legislation,
    would adversely impact demand for and sales prices of new homes,
    including ours. In addition, increases in property tax rates or
    fees on developers by local governmental authorities, as
    experienced in response to reduced federal and state funding or
    to fund local initiatives such as funding schools or road
    improvements, can adversely affect the ability of potential
    customers to obtain financing or their desire to purchase new
    homes, and can have an adverse impact on our business and

    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

    a minimum of three years, which includes implementing certain

    As a homebuilder, we are subject to construction defect and home

    claims associated with allegedly defective drywall manufactured
    in China (Chinese Drywall) that may be responsible for noxious

    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.

    In August 2008, we announced that the Board adopted a
    shareholder rights plan (the &#147;Rights Plan&#148;) designed
    to preserve shareholder value and the value of certain tax
    assets primarily associated with net loss carryforwards and
    built-in losses under Section&#160;382 of the Code and on
    December&#160;5, 2008, our stockholders approved the
    Board&#146;s decision to adopt the Rights Plan. 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 (any such person an &#147;Acquiring Person&#148;), without
    the approval of the Company&#146;s board of directors. 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 the Company one ten-thousandth of a
    share of the Company&#146;s Series&#160;B Junior Preferred Stock
    for a purchase price of $35.00. The rights will not be
    exercisable until the earlier of (i)&#160;10 business days after
    a public announcement by us that a person or group has become an
    Acquiring Person and (ii)&#160;10 business days after the
    commencement of a tender or exchange offer by a person or group
    for 4.9% of the Class&#160;A common stock. If issued, each
    fractional share of Series&#160;B Junior Preferred Stock would
    give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and
    liquidation rights as does one share of the Company&#146;s
    Class&#160;A common stock. However, prior to exercise, a right
    does not give its holder any rights as a stockholder of the
    Company, including without limitation any dividend, voting or
    liquidation rights. See &#147;Limitation on beneficial ownership

    an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to restrict
    certain transfers of our stock in order to preserve the tax
    treatment of our net operating loss carryforwards and built-in
    losses under Section&#160;382 of the Code. Subject to certain
    exceptions pertaining to pre-existing 5% stockholders and
    Class&#160;B stockholders, the transfer restrictions in the

    direct or indirect transfer (such as transfers of the

    In August 2008, we announced that the board of directors of
    Hovnanian adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to preserve
    shareholder value and the value of certain tax assets primarily
    associated with net loss carryforwards and built-in losses under
    Section&#160;382 of the Internal Revenue Code
    (&#147;NOLs&#148;), and on December&#160;5, 2008, our
    stockholders approved the Board&#146;s decision to adopt the
    shareholder rights plan. 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 (any such person an
    &#147;Acquiring Person&#148;), without the approval of the
    Company&#146;s board of directors. 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 the Company one ten-thousandth of a share of the
    Company&#146;s Series&#160;B Junior Preferred Stock for a
    purchase price of $35.00. The rights will not be exercisable
    until the earlier of (i)&#160;10 business days after a public
    announcement by us that a person or group has become an
    Acquiring Person and (ii)&#160;10 business days after the
    commencement of a tender or exchange offer by a person or group
    for 4.9% of the Class&#160;A common stock. If issued, each
    fractional share of Series&#160;B Junior Preferred Stock would
    give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and
    liquidation rights as does one share of the Company&#146;s
    Class&#160;A common stock. However, prior to exercise, a right
    does not give its holder any rights as a stockholder of the
    Company, including without limitation any dividend, voting or
    liquidation rights. See &#147;Description of Capital
    Stock&#151;Rights Plan&#148; in the accompanying prospectus for
    more information.

    In addition, on December&#160;5, 2008, our stockholders approved
    an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to restrict
    certain transfers of our stock in order to preserve the tax
    treatment of our NOLs under the 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 the
    Company&#146;s stock that result from the transfer of interests
    in other entities that own the Company&#146;s stock) if the
    effect would be to: (i)&#160;increase the direct or indirect
    ownership of the Company&#146;s stock by any person (or public
    group) from less than 5% to 5% or more of the Company&#146;s

    particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons
    considering purchasing our Class&#160;A Common Stock on behalf
    of, or with the assets of, any ERISA Plan, consult with their
    counsel regarding the matters described herein.

    In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase
    and sell shares of Class&#160;A Common Stock in the open market.
    These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering
    transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve
    syndicate sales of shares of our Class&#160;A Common Stock in
    excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the
    underwriters in this offering, which creates a syndicate short
    position. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales of shares
    made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the
    underwriters&#146; over-allotment option. In determining the
    source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short
    position, the underwriters will consider, among other things,
    the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as
    compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through
    the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered
    syndicate short positions involve either purchases of the
    Class&#160;A Common Stock in the open market after the
    distribution has been completed or the exercise of the
    over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make
    &#147;naked&#148; short sales of shares in excess of the
    over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked
    short position by purchasing shares of Class&#160;A Common Stock
    in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be
    created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be
    downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market
    after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase
    in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for
    or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is
    in progress.

    The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids
    permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a
    syndicate member when the underwriters repurchase shares
    originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover
    syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases.

    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

    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

    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,

    have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the

    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
