In accordance with ASC 470, these debt issuance costs are capitalized to other assets and amortized as interest over the term of the related debt.

Deposits in Lieu of Bonds and Letters of Credit

We are required to make deposits in lieu of bonds with various agencies for some of our homebuilding projects. These deposits may be returned as the collateral requirements decrease, or replaced with new bonds as bonding becomes available.

In June 2010, due to maturity of an unsecured bank line of credit, certain letters of credit were presented for payment and recorded as deposits in lieu of letters of credit. These deposits may be returned as collateral requirements decrease, or replaced with new letters of credit.
