Risk Change Over Time
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1Our home sales and operating revenues could decline due to macro-economic and other factors outside of our control, such as changes in consumer confidence and confidence, declines in employment levels. levels and volatile material and supply costs.
Changes in national and regional economic conditions, as well as local economic conditions where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live, may result in more caution on the part of homebuyers and, consequently, fewer home purchases. These economic uncertainties involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in local markets and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels, and government regulations. These risks and uncertainties could periodically have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our homes, which could cause our operating revenues to decline. Failure to achieve revenues, or a reduction in our revenues once achieved, could, in turn, negatively affect the market price of our securities. The homebuilding industry is cyclical, has from time to time experienced significant difficulties, and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic conditions such as: - employment levels and job growth;- availability of financing for home buyers;- interest rates & volatile material and supply costs;- consumer confidence;- housing demand; and - population growth An oversupply of alternatives to new homes, such as rental properties and used homes could depress prices and reduce margins for the sale of new homes. Weather conditions and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods and fires can harm the local homebuilding business. The difficulties described above could cause us to take longer and incur more costs to build our homes. We may not be able to recapture increased costs by raising prices in many cases because we fix our new home prices up to twelve months in advance of delivery by signing home sales contracts. In addition, some home buyers may cancel or not honor their home sales contracts altogether.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Purchase of the Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Each prospective Investor is urged to consider carefully the risk factors discussed below, in addition to the risks set forth elsewhere, in determining whether an investment in the Company should be made and is appropriate for them. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment and you are not dependent on the funds you are investing. Our business operations have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of the novel respiratory illness coronavirus ("COVID-19").
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel respiratory illness COVID-19 a pandemic. The new strain of COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat. The outbreak of COVID-19 emerged in China, where many of the Company's material suppliers are located. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and our business. A prolonged disruption or any further unforeseen delay in our operations of the manufacturing, delivery and assembly process within any of our market areas could continue to result in delays in the delivery of products and services to our customers, increased costs and reduced revenue. We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties in the regions where we conduct business, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our stock price may fluctuate significantly, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the current market price.
The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, including: - regulatory or political developments; - market conditions in the broader stock market; - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and results of operations; - introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors; - issuance of new or changed securities analysts' reports or recommendations; - investor perceptions of us and the construction industry; - sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock; - additions or departures of key personnel; - litigation and governmental investigations; and - changing economic conditions. These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the Company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.
If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock could also depress our market price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Insiders have substantial control over us and could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.
As of December 31, 2023, our principal stockholders, directors, and executive officers and entities affiliated with them owned approximately 79.0 % of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, would be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. The concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a public company, we are required to: - Prepare and distribute periodic public reports and other stockholder communications in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and OTCBB rules; - create or expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees of the board; - maintain a more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance functions; - maintain an accounting and financial reporting department, including personnel with expertise in accounting and reporting for a public company; - enhance and formalize closing procedures at the end of our accounting periods; - maintain an internal audit function; - enhance our investor relations function; - establish and maintain new internal policies, including those relating to disclosure controls and procedures; and - involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the activities listed above. These requirements entail a significant commitment of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements and implementing them could adversely affect our business or results of operations. In addition, if we fail to implement the requirements with respect to our internal accounting and audit functions, our ability to report our results of operations on a timely and accurate basis could be impaired.
