Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the sustainability of the 23.9% gross margin given potential fluctuations in lumber and commodity costs.
- Confirm the renewal terms of the $150 million mortgage warehouse facility expiring August 30, 2002.
- Monitor the impact of the $100 million share repurchase authorization on future liquidity and capital structure.
- Assess the concentration of new orders outside the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas as a growth driver.
- Review the deferred compensation plan amendments and their impact on future compensation expense and tax benefits.
