Warranty Reserves
The Company’s homebuilding business provides homebuyers with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a
12
Warranty reserves are included in accrued expenses within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the provision for warranty accruals is included in home sale cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Reserves covering anticipated warranty expenses are recorded for each home closed and are a function of the number of home closings in the period, the selling prices of the homes closed and the rates of accrual per home estimated as a percentage of the selling price of the home.
Management periodically assesses the adequacy of warranty reserves based on historical experience and the expected costs to remediate potential claims. In addition, the analysis also includes the existence of any non-recurring or community-specific warranty-related matters that might not be included in historical data and trends that may need to be separately estimated based on management’s judgment of the ultimate cost of repair for that specific issue. While estimated warranty liabilities are adjusted each reporting period based on the results of this assessment, the Company may not accurately predict actual warranty costs, which could lead to significant changes in the reserve and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
The Company maintains third-party insurance, subject to applicable self-insured retentions, for most construction defects that the Company encounters in the normal course of business. The Company believes that its warranty reserves, subcontractor indemnities and third-party insurance are adequate to cover the ultimate resolution of any potential liabilities associated with known and anticipated warranty and construction defect related claims and litigation. However, there can be no assurance that the terms and limitations of the limited warranty will be effective against claims made by homebuyers; that the Company will be able to renew its insurance coverage or renew it at reasonable rates; that the Company will not be liable for damages, the cost of repairs or the expense of litigation surrounding possible construction defects, soil subsidence or building related claims; or that claims will not arise out of events or circumstances not covered by insurance or not subject to effective indemnification agreements with our subcontractors.

Security for Performance Obligations
The Company is required from time to time to provide security (such as letters of credit, surety bonds or cash collateral) for performance obligations in support of the Company’s land development and homebuilding obligations to municipalities related to the construction of improvements in subdivisions. Cash collateral on deposit with municipalities is included in other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the event any letter of credit or surety bond is drawn, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or surety bond. As of January 31, 2025, the Company had (a) one letter of credit outstanding under its Revolving Line of Credit in the aggregate principal amount of $
Litigation
The Company may be subject to various lawsuits and legal claims. Certain of the liabilities resulting from these actions may be covered in whole or in part by insurance. The Company establishes liabilities for litigation and legal claims when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. To the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any lawsuit or legal claim exceeds the
13
estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, the Company would incur additional charges and these charges might be significant. The Company cannot predict or determine with certainty the timing or final outcome of any lawsuit or legal claim or the effect that any adverse findings or determinations in any lawsuit or legal claim may have on the Company. The legal costs associated with any lawsuit or legal claim and the amount of time required to be spent by management and the Company’s Board of Directors on these matters, even if the Company is ultimately successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company has not accrued any amounts related to litigation matters as of January 31, 2025 or April 30, 2024.
(12) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share – basic is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period includes shares issuable upon settlement of deferred stock units but does not include unvested shares of restricted common stock or shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
AMREP Corporation (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: land development and homebuilding. The Company has no foreign sales or activities outside the United States. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the Company and its subsidiaries. The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The information contained in this Item 2 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Many of the amounts and percentages presented in this Item 2 have been rounded for convenience of presentation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2025 and 2024 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2025 and 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the accounting policies used and disclosed in the 2024 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and included as part of the 2024 Form 10-K. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts or results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The Company’s critical accounting policies, assumptions and estimates are described in Item 7 of Part II of the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in these critical accounting policies.
Information concerning the Company’s implementation and the impact of recent accounting standards or updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K and in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The Company did not adopt any accounting policy in the nine months ended January 31, 2025 that had a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $717,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $92,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended January 31, 2024. For the nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $8,823,000, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,546,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the nine months ended January 31, 2024.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2024, the Company experienced material delays in municipal entitlements, infrastructure availability, approvals and inspections and utility response times in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the level of mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy and other macroeconomic factors, have placed pressure on overall housing affordability, negatively affecting demand and have caused many potential homebuyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. In addition, any tariffs on goods used as inputs in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment may result in further increases in the cost of housing and average sales prices. Given the affordability challenges and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has provided sales incentives on certain homes, reduced the size of lots and homes, opportunistically leased completed homes and slowed the pace of housing starts and land development projects. During 2024 and 2025, the Company reduced the number and scope of its active land development projects and delayed proceeding with certain new land development projects due to market headwinds and uncertainty and an increase in entitlement and infrastructure delays as compared to prior years. This may result in a reduction of revenues from the sale of developed residential land during 2025 and is expected to result in a reduction of revenues from the sale of developed residential land during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 as compared to 2024 and 2025.

| ● | The change in land sale revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from the sale of developed residential land and a decrease in revenues from the sale of undeveloped land. The change in land sale revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to an increase in revenues from the sale of developed residential land and undeveloped land offset in part by a decrease in revenues from the sale of commercial developed land. During the nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company sold 549 acres of contiguous undeveloped land in Sandoval County, New Mexico, representing $2,502,000 of revenue, to one purchaser.

Land sale gross margins were 36% and 50% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 compared to 34% and 33% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024. The changes in gross margin were primarily due to changes in public
19
improvement district reimbursements, private infrastructure covenant reimbursements and payments for impact fee credits and the location, size and mix of property sold (including the sale of 5.7 acres and 590.8 acres for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 as compared to 43.0 acres and 51.8 acres for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 of undeveloped land with a low associated land sale cost of revenues) and the demand for lots by builders resulting in higher revenue per developed lot.
| ● | The changes in home sale cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 compared to the prior periods were primarily due to the number, location, size and mix of homes sold and increases in the prices of building materials and skilled labor. Home sale gross margins were 23% and 20% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 compared to 22% and 27% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024. The changes in gross margin were primarily due to the location, size and mix of homes sold and increases in the prices of building materials and skilled labor. |
| ● | Other cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 consists of the cost of goods sold for landscaping services. Other cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 consists of the costs associated with the sale of investment assets and the cost of goods sold for landscaping services. |
As a result of many factors, including the nature and timing of specific transactions and the type and location of land or homes being sold, revenues, average selling prices and related gross margins from land sales or home sales can vary significantly from period to period and prior results are not necessarily a good indication of what may occur in future periods.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking”, including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s shareholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of the Company. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (1) the Company’s ability to finance its future working capital, land development, acquisition of land, homebuilding, commercial projects, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditure needs, (2) the Company’s expected liquidity sources, including the availability of bank financing for projects and the utilization of existing bank financing, (3) estimates of the Company’s exposure to warranty claims and liabilities for litigation and legal claims, estimates of the cost to complete of common land development costs and the estimated relative sales values of individual parcels of land in connection with the allocation of common land development costs, (4) the adequacy of warranty reserves, subcontractor indemnities and third-party insurance to cover the ultimate resolution of any potential liabilities associated with known and anticipated warranty and construction defect related claims and litigation, (5) the conditions resulting in homebuyer affordability challenges, (6) the amount of land sale revenues during 2025 and the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, (7) the backlog of homes under contract and in production and the dollar amount of expected sale revenues when such homes are closed, (8) the categorization of homes and buildings leased or intended to be leased to third parties, (9) the timing of recognizing unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of common stock issued under the AMREP Corporation 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, (10) the future issuance of deferred stock units to directors of the Company, (11) the dilution to earnings per share that unvested shares of restricted common stock or shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options may cause in the future and (12) the future business conditions that may be experienced by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of such forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s system of internal control over “financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
