Note 5 - Business acquisitions
Creekside Custom Homes, LLC
On January 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of selected assets of Creekside Custom Homes, LLC, a South Carolina corporation (“Creekside”) (the “Creekside Acquisition”) for $12,742,895 in cash. The acquisition allows UHG to further expand its presence in the coastal region of South Carolina, particularly in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations under the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair value of the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities as of January 26, 2024. The amounts for intangible assets were based on third-party valuations performed. The Company recognized the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill of $3,573,040 (all of which is tax deductible). The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from expanding the Company’s market presence in South Carolina and the experience and reputation of the acquired management team.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded Revenue of $15,854,801 and Net income of $518,548, respectively, related to Creekside operations. Transaction costs of $533,695 related to this transaction were expensed as incurred within the Selling, general and administrative expense line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The final purchase price allocation is as follows:

Rosewood Communities, Inc.
On October 25, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common stock of Rosewood Communities, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“Rosewood”) (the “Rosewood Acquisition”) for a purchase price of $24,681,948, of which $22,674,948 was in cash. The remaining purchase price was related to a $300,000 warranty cost reserve and contingent consideration based on 25% of the EBITDA attributable to Rosewood’s business through December 31, 2025. The initial estimate of the contingent consideration was approximately $1,707,000. The acquisition allows the Company to further expand its presence in the Upstate region of South Carolina.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 under the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities as of October 25, 2023. The amounts for intangible assets were based on third-party valuations performed. The Company recognized the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill of $5,206,636 (all of which is tax deductible). The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from expanding the Company’s market presence in South Carolina and the experience and reputation of the acquired management team.
Transaction costs of $515,282 related to this transaction were expensed as incurred within the Selling, general and administrative expense line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The final purchase price allocation is as follows:
Purchase Price Allocation
Cash acquired$543,421 
Inventories23,672,172 
Lot deposits912,220 
Other assets58,681 
Property and equipment, net703,872 
Intangible assets1,380,000 
Goodwill5,206,636 
Liabilities(7,795,054)
Total purchase price$24,681,948 
In connection with the Rosewood acquisition, the Company recorded contingent consideration based on the estimated EBITDA attributable to Rosewood’s business through December 31, 2025. The measurement of contingent consideration was based on projected cash flows such as revenues, gross margin, overhead expenses and EBITDA and discounted to present value. The Company recorded the fair value of the contingent consideration within Other accrued expenses and liabilities on the acquisition date. The estimated earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date based on the estimated future earnings of the acquired entity and the re-assessment of risk-adjusted discount rates. Maximum potential exposure for contingent consideration is not estimable based on the contractual terms of the contingent consideration agreement, which allows for a percentage payout based on a potentially unlimited range of EBITDA.
Herring Homes, LLC
On August 18, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of selected assets of Herring Homes, LLC (“Herring Homes”), a North Carolina homebuilder, for a purchase price of $2,166,516 in cash. The acquisition allows the Company to expand its presence into the Raleigh, North Carolina market.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations under the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities as of August 18, 2023. The Company recognized the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill of $500,000. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from establishing a market presence in Raleigh and the experience and reputation of the acquired management team. The remaining basis of $1,666,516 is primarily comprised of the fair value of the acquired developed lots and lot purchase agreement deposits with limited other assets and liabilities. Transaction costs were not material and were expensed as incurred.
The Company entered into an agreement with Herring Homes to provide certain services including providing the use of UHG employees to finish unacquired work in progress inventory and treasury management in exchange for fees outlined in the agreement. Subsequent to the acquisition, UHG acquired 50 lots and 12 homes under construction in separate transactions for a fair value of $4.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in the Raleigh, North Carolina market.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and have been presented as if the Creekside acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. The disclosure of Rosewood and Herring Homes is included for comparative purposes and reflects revenue and net income balances as if the acquisitions closed on January 1, 2022. Unaudited pro forma net income adjusts the operating results of the stated acquisitions to reflect the additional costs that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied as of the beginning of the year preceding the year of acquisition, including the tax-effected amortization of the inventory step-up and transaction costs. This unaudited pro forma information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.
