Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. We and our unconsolidated joint venture partners make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated joint ventures, typically on a pro rata basis, according to our respective equity interests. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each such unconsolidated joint venture’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents.

The higher combined revenues and income for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2020, as compared to the year-earlier periods, mainly reflected homes delivered from an unconsolidated joint venture in California. In the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2019, our unconsolidated joint ventures did not deliver any homes.

(a)
As of both August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, we had investments in five unconsolidated joint ventures. At November 30, 2019, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures had a construction loan agreement with a third-party lender to finance its land development activities. The outstanding debt was secured by the underlying property and related project assets and was non-recourse to us. All the outstanding secured debt was repaid in April 2020. None of our unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding debt at August 31, 2020.
