AMREP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three and Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMREP Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. 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. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what may occur in future periods. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2023 and 2022 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2023 and 2022.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on July 21, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). To better align with industry practice, the Company reclassified public improvement district reimbursements, private infrastructure covenant reimbursements and a portion of miscellaneous other revenues representing payment for impact fee credits within building sales and other revenues in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2021 as a reduction to land sale cost of revenues in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2022 Form 10-K, except as described in the following paragraph.
Land sale cost of revenues, net includes all direct acquisition costs and other costs specifically identified with the property, including pre-acquisition costs and capitalized real estate taxes and interest, and an allocation of certain common development costs associated with the entire project. Common development costs include the installation of utilities and roads, and may be based upon estimates of cost to complete. The allocation of costs is based on the estimated relative sales value of the individual parcels of land being sold to the total expected sales value for the unsold parcels of land in the applicable portion of the subdivision. Estimates and cost allocations are reviewed on a regular basis until a project is substantially completed, and are revised and reallocated as necessary on the basis of current estimates. Amounts received from public improvement districts, private infrastructure covenants and payments for impact fee credits reduce the amount of land sale cost of revenues.
New Accounting Pronouncements
There are no new accounting standards or updates to be adopted that the Company currently believes might have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(11) INCOME TAXES
During 2022, the Company expects to recognize a loss for tax purposes only related to worthless stock of Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. owned by the Company. Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. had previously been the owner of the Company’s fulfillment services business. The amount of the tax loss has not yet been determined.
(12) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
During the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. In addition, in response to inflation, the Federal Reserve increased benchmark interest rates during 2022 and has signaled it expects additional future interest rate increases, which has resulted in a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during 2022, impacting home affordability and consumer sentiment and tempering demand for new homes and finished residential lots. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy and other macroeconomic factors, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability
12
challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding model inventory or homebuilding construction in process and slowed the pace of housing starts and land development projects. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the accounting policies used and disclosed in the 2022 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 2022 Form 10-K and in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of those unaudited condensed
13
consolidated financial statements 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 2022 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 2022 Form 10-K. The Company did not adopt any accounting policy in the six months ended October 31, 2022 that had a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. In addition, in response to inflation, the Federal Reserve increased benchmark interest rates during 2022 and has signaled it expects additional future interest rate increases, which has resulted in a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during 2022, impacting home affordability and consumer sentiment and tempering demand for new homes and finished residential lots. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy and other macroeconomic factors, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding model inventory or homebuilding construction in process and slowed the pace of housing starts and land development projects. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.

Land sale cost of revenues, net for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 was higher than the prior periods by $2,442,000 and $659,000. Land sale gross margins were 34% and 35% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 compared to 29% for each of the three and six months ended October 31, 2021. If land sale cost of revenues was not reduced for amounts received from public improvement districts, private infrastructure covenants and payments for impact fee credits, land sale gross margins would have been 29% and 28% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 compared to 27%
16
and 25% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2021. The change in gross margin were primarily due to lower than estimated cost associated with certain completed projects and the location, size and mix of property sold. As a result of many factors, including the nature and timing of specific transactions and the type and location of land being sold, revenues, average selling prices and related gross margin from land sales can vary significantly from period to period and prior results are not necessarily a good indication of what may occur in future periods.
| ● | Home sale cost of revenues for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 were higher than the prior periods by $1,422,000 and $3,171,000 due to the location and amenities available in the communities. Home sale gross margins were 29% and 32% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 compared to 23% and 21% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the location and mix of homes sold and to efficiencies gained during the expansion of the Company’s homebuilding operations. |
| ● | Building sales and other cost of revenues during the three and six months ended October 31, 2021 consists of the sale of a 143,000 square foot warehouse and office facility located in Palm Coast, Florida. |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
AMREP Corporation is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries. As a holding company, AMREP Corporation is dependent on its available cash and on cash from subsidiaries to pay expenses and fund operations. The
17
Company’s liquidity is affected by many factors, including some that are based on normal operations and some that are related to the real estate industry and the economy generally.
The Company’s primary sources of funding for working capital requirements are cash flow from operations, bank financing for specific real estate projects, a revolving line of credit and existing cash balances. Land and homebuilding properties generally cannot be sold quickly, and the ability of the Company to sell properties has been and will continue to be affected by market conditions. The ability of the Company to generate cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell the properties it has selected for disposition at the prices and within the timeframes the Company has established for each property. The development of additional lots for sale, construction of homes or pursuing other real estate projects may require financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms (or at all). If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources as reflected in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $3,864,000 primarily due to the amount of change during each period in real estate inventory and investment assets, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes payable (receivable), net and the deferred income tax provision.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $202,000 primarily due to the purchase of equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $4,293,000 primarily due to a reduction in proceeds from debt financing partially offset by a decrease in principal debt repayments. Notes payable decreased from $2,030,000 as of April 30, 2022 to $252,000 as of October 31, 2022 due to principal debt repayments.

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 October 31, 2022 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.
