Tangible Equity Units Disclosure [Text Block] | 12. On February 9, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 7.25% Tangible Equity Units (the “TEUs”), and on February 14, 2011, we issued an additional 450,000 TEUs pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each TEU initially consists of (i) a prepaid stock purchase contract (each a “Purchase Contract”) and (ii) a senior subordinated amortizing note due February 15, 2014 (each, a “Senior Subordinated Amortizing Note”). As of April 30, 2013, we had an aggregate principal amount of $4.2 million Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes outstanding. On each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, K. Hovnanian will pay holders of the Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes equal quarterly cash installments of $0.453125 per Senior Subordinated Amortizing Note, which cash payments in the aggregate will be equivalent to 7.25% per year with respect to each $25 stated amount of TEUs. Each installment constitutes a payment of interest (at a rate of 12.072% per annum) and a partial repayment of principal on the Senior Subordinated Amortizing Note, allocated as set forth in the amortization schedule provided in the indenture under which the Amortizing Notes were issued. The Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes have a scheduled final installment payment date of February 15, 2014. If we elect to settle the Purchase Contracts early, holders of the Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes will have the right to require K. Hovnanian to repurchase such holders’ Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes, except in certain circumstances as described in the indenture governing Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes. Unless settled earlier, on February 15, 2014 (subject to postponement under certain circumstances), each Purchase Contract will automatically settle and we will deliver a number of shares of Class A Common Stock based on the applicable market value, as defined in the purchase contract agreement, which will be between 4.7655 shares and 5.8140 shares per Purchase Contract (subject to adjustment). Each TEU may be separated into its constituent Purchase Contract and Senior Subordinated Amortizing Note after the initial issuance date of the TEUs, and the separate components may be combined to create a TEU. The Senior Subordinated Amortizing Note component of the TEUs is recorded as debt, and the Purchase Contract component of the TEUs is recorded in equity as additional paid in capital. We have recorded $68.1 million, the initial fair value of the Purchase Contracts, as additional paid in capital. As of April 30, 2013, 2.2 million Purchase Contracts had been converted into 10.4 million shares of our Class A Common Stock. There were no Purchase Contracts converted into common stock during the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 0.6 million Purchase Contracts converted into 2.7 million shares of our Class A Common Stock during the six months ended April 30, 2013. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we purchased pursuant to agreements with bondholders $3.1 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Subordinated Amortizing Notes in exchange for Class A Common Stock, as discussed in Note 16. These transactions resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2012. The gain is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Gain on extinguishment of debt”.
