RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES	(11) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. In addition, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 has tempered demand for new homes. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding finished inventory or homebuilding construction in process. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.
