Land sale revenues, for the three months ended January 31, 2015, include $78.5 million related to property sold to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we have a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the joint venture’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. We will recognize the gain as units are sold to the ultimate home buyer. See Note 4, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities” for more information on this transaction.
