Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998, decreased 83% ($671,128) compared to the same period in 1997. For the nine-month period, revenues decreased 75% ($1.41 million). This is attributed to a reduction in home building sales and administration income.
- Expense Reduction: Total expenses decreased 40% ($349,992) for the quarter and 37% ($814,730) for the nine months, largely due to lower home building development costs.
- Administrative Costs: Despite lower revenues, General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 69% ($271,131) for the quarter and 50% ($441,564) for the nine months. Management attributes this increase to the issuance of common stock for services.
- Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $(414,836) for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $(75,538) in the prior year quarter. The nine-month loss widened to $(1.03 million) from $(326,035) in the prior year.
