Item 8.01
  Other Events
 
   
 
       The Company holds just over a 30% noncontrolling participation interest in the Landwell Company LP, a land sale and development company that owns a large number of acres of land in the Henderson, Nevada, area. In November, 2004, Landwell announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell a 2,200-acre parcel of such land to Centex Homes for creation of a new, master-planned community. The Company’s share of cash flows resulting from this agreement, net of taxes, is required to be used to pay down outstanding debt under our senior secured credit facility.
 
   
 
       The Company has been notified that the general partner of Landwell received from Centex Homes on January 9, 2007, a letter giving a notice of termination of the agreement, effective immediately. In the letter, Centex Homes states that a meeting is scheduled with Landwell later this month at which time it would like to discuss “alternative takedown schedules and/or pricing adjustments in order to make this transaction work for both parties”. Although there can be no assurance an acceptable arrangement can be renegotiated with Centex Homes, more than one alternative buyer has expressed interest in purchasing the acreage, should it become available.
