Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (unaudited)

1. Company

Landsea Homes Corporation (“LHC” or the “Company”), a majority owned subsidiary of Landsea Holdings Corporation (“Landsea Holdings”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the acquisition, development, and sale of homes and lots in Arizona, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. The Company's operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: Arizona, California, Florida, Metro New York, and Texas.

On August 31, 2020, LHC and its parent, Landsea Holdings, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LF Capital Acquisition Corp. (“LF Capital”) and LFCA Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LF Capital. The Merger Agreement provided for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Landsea Homes Incorporated ("LHI"), previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Landsea Holdings, with LHI continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").

On January 7, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the Merger was consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the "Closing"). The name of the surviving company, LF Capital Acquisition Corp., was changed at that time to Landsea Homes Corporation. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Landsea Holdings received $343.8 million of stock consideration, consisting of 32.6 million newly issued shares of LF Capital Acquisition Corp.’s publicly-traded Class A common stock. The shares were valued at $10.56 per share for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to Landsea Holdings (the “Stock Consideration”).

Upon Closing, Level Field Capital, LLC (the “Sponsor”) held 1.0 million shares that are subject to surrender and forfeiture for no consideration in the event the common stock does not reach certain thresholds during the twenty-four month period following the closing of the Merger (“Earnout Shares”). The Sponsor transferred 0.5 million Earnout Shares to Landsea Holdings. Additionally, the Sponsor forfeited 2.3 million private placement warrants and transferred 2.2 million private placement warrants to Landsea Holdings (such private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, are referred to as the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the public warrants they are referred to as the "Warrants").

In connection with the Merger, the Company received $64.4 million from the Merger after payments of $28.7 million related to the public warrant amendment and of $7.5 million in transaction expenses incurred. The Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $16.7 million related to the equity issuance, consisting primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds. The Company recorded $2.7 million in general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the accelerated vesting of the phantom awards. The Company paid cash of $2.9 million for the phantom stock awards and issued 0.2 million shares with an issuance date value of $1.9 million at the time of the Merger.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, LF Capital is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the current stockholder of LHC, Landsea Holdings, having a relative majority of the voting power of the combined entity, the operations of LHI prior to the Merger comprising the only ongoing operations of the combined entity, and senior management of LHI comprising the senior management of the combined entity. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial statements of LHI with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of LHI issuing stock for the net assets of LF Capital, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of LHI are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The shares and net (loss) income per share available to holders of the LHI’s common stock, prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was historically funded as part of Landsea Holdings' treasury program. Cash and cash equivalents were primarily centrally managed through bank accounts legally owned by Landsea Holdings. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents held by Landsea Holdings at the corporate level were not attributed to the Company for any of the periods presented prior to the Merger. Only cash amounts legally owned by entities consolidated by the Company are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Transfers of cash, both to and from Landsea Holdings' treasury program, were reflected as a component of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets and as a financing activity on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. As the functional departments that made up the Company were not held by a single legal entity, balances between the Company and Landsea Holdings that were not historically cash settled were included in additional paid-in capital.

Landsea Holdings holds a series of notes payable to affiliated entities of its parent. The cash Landsea Holdings received from this debt was partially utilized to fund operations of the Company. Related party interest incurred by Landsea Holdings (the “Related Party Interest”) was historically pushed down to the Company and reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company, primarily in real estate inventories, and on the consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales. Refer to Note 5 - Capitalized Interest for further detail. As the Company did not guarantee the notes payable nor have any obligations to repay the notes payable, and as the notes payable will not be assigned to the Company, the notes payable do not represent a liability of the Company and accordingly have not been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, LHC is precluded from repaying Landsea Holdings' notes payable to the affiliated entities of its parent. Therefore, as of January 7, 2021, the Related Party Interest is no longer pushed down to LHC.

During the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements prior to the Merger, the Company was included in the consolidated U.S. federal, and certain state and local, income tax returns filed by Landsea Holdings, where applicable. Income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in these consolidated financial statements are presented on a separate return basis as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. Additionally, certain tax attributes such as net operating losses or credit carryforwards are presented on a separate return basis, and accordingly, may differ in the future. In jurisdictions where the Company has been included in the tax returns filed by Landsea Holdings, any income tax payables or receivables resulting from the related income tax provisions have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and the effect of the push down is reflected within additional paid-in capital.

Management of the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided or benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and therefore periods prior to the Merger do not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company if it had been an independent entity during those periods.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations and other factors.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Warrant liability—The Company’s outstanding Private Placement Warrants are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a liability recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date as a gain (loss) on remeasurement of the warrant liability. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable at $11.50 into one share of common stock. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Refer to Note 16 - Stockholders' Equity for additional information on the Warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined by a Black-Scholes options pricing model which includes Level 3 inputs as discussed further in Note 14 - Fair Value.

Lot Sales and Other Revenue and Profit Recognition

Revenues from lot sales and other revenue are recorded and a profit is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which includes transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Lot sales and other revenue is recognized when all conditions of escrow are met, including delivery of the real estate asset in the agreed-upon condition, passage of title, receipt of appropriate consideration, and collection of associated receivables, if any, is probable, and other applicable criteria are met. Based upon the terms of the agreement, when it is determined that the performance obligation is not satisfied, the sale and the related profit are deferred for recognition in future periods.

Under the terms of certain lot sale and other contracts, the Company is obligated to perform certain development activities after the close of escrow. Due to this continuing involvement, the Company recognizes lot sales and other revenue under the percentage-of-completion method, whereby revenue is recognized in proportion to total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $0.6 million deferred revenue from lot sales and other revenue. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no deferred revenue. The Company recognizes these amounts as development progresses and the related performance obligations are completed. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had contract assets of $2.4 million from lot sales and other contracts. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no contract asset balance. The contract asset balance represents cash to be received for work already performed on lot sale and other contracts. The amount of the transaction price for lot sales and other contracts allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of September 30, 2021 was $15.2 million. There was no outstanding amount related to unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the amendments in this update on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform, particularly the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which provides clarity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Particularly, the update states that an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combinations

On May 4, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Mercedes Premier Homes, LLC (also known as Vintage Estate Homes, LLC, or “Vintage”), a Florida- and Texas-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $54.6 million. In addition, we assumed $32.1 million of debt, of which we paid down $3.8 million in connection with the acquisition. The total assets of Vintage included approximately 20 development projects and 1,800 lots in various stages of development.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisitions of Vintage and Garrett Walker Homes ("GWH") were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisitions to reflect the purchase price paid.

Acquired inventories consist of land, land deposits, and work in process inventories. The Company determined the estimate of fair value for acquired land inventory using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate were future development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products, as well as average selling price ("ASP"), and absorption rates. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a profit margin that a market participant would require to complete the remaining production and requisite selling efforts. On the acquisition date, the stage of production for each lot ranged from recently started lots to fully completed homes. The intangible asset acquired relates to the Vintage trade name, which is estimated to have a fair value of $1.6 million and is being amortized over one year. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and relates primarily to the assembled workforce. Goodwill of $3.8 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of this transaction and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The acquired goodwill is included in the Florida reporting segment in Note 13, Segment Reporting. The Company incurred transaction related costs of $0.3 million and $0.8 million related to the Vintage acquisition in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company's results of operations include homebuilding revenues from the Vintage acquisition of $38.6 million and $75.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations before tax also includes a loss of $0.1 million and income of $1.2 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, inclusive of purchase price accounting and an allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses.

4. Real Estate Inventories

Real estate inventories are summarized as follows:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(dollars in thousands)
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs	$	54,797	$	34,102
Land held and land under development	317,323		221,055
Homes completed or under construction	511,643		395,926
Model homes	24,174		36,736
Total real estate inventory	$	907,937	$	687,819

Deposits and pre-acquisition costs include land deposits and other due diligence costs related to potential land acquisitions. Land held and land under development includes costs incurred during site development such as development, indirect costs, and permits. Homes completed or under construction and model homes include all costs associated with home construction, including land, development, indirect costs, permits, materials and labor.

In accordance with ASC 360, inventory is stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company reviews each real estate asset at the community-level, on a quarterly basis or whenever indicators of impairment exist. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each community by using a discounted cash flow approach based on the estimated future cash flows at discount rates that reflect the risk of the community being evaluated. The discounted cash flow approach can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sales revenue, home construction costs, and the applicable discount rate, all of which are Level 3 inputs, refer to Note 14 - Fair Value for additional information.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized no real estate inventory impairments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized real estate inventory impairments of $0 and $3.4 million related to two communities in the California segment. In both instances, the Company determined that additional incentives were required to sell the remaining homes at estimated aggregate sales prices below the communities' previous carrying values. The fair values for the communities impaired were calculated using discounted cash flow models using discount rates ranging from 7%-10%.

5. Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized to real estate inventories and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures during development and other qualifying activities. Interest capitalized as a cost of real estate inventories is included in cost of sales as related inventories are delivered. Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is relieved to equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated joint ventures as related joint venture homes close.

In connection with the acquisition of GWH, the Company entered into an additional line of credit ("LOC2") with a bank as part of the transaction. On the date of acquisition, the Company drew $70.0 million from the LOC2.

On April 15, 2020, Landsea Holdings entered into a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Note evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $4.3 million made to the Company under the PPP. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Association. The proceeds from the PPP Note were restricted to only being used for payroll costs (including benefits), interest on mortgage obligations, rent, utilities and interest on certain other debt obligations. The proceeds from the PPP Note were used in the operation of the Company and therefore the debt was included in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. We fully utilized the proceeds from this loan to satisfy certain payroll and benefit obligations and applied for relief of the full amount of the loan under the PPP. In June 2021, the PPP loan was forgiven and the liability removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The forgiveness was recorded as a gain on debt forgiveness and is included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations of the Company.

The Company’s loans have certain financial covenants, such as requirements for the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity balance, minimum tangible net worth, gross profit margin, leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Company's loans are secured by the assets of the Company and contain various representations, warranties, and covenants that are customary for these types of agreements. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial loan agreement covenants.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal—The Company is subject to various legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time and may be subject to similar or other claims in the future. In addition, the Company is currently involved in various other legal actions and proceedings. The Company is currently unable to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable result in any such proceeding that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

The Company is party to litigation involving a wrongful death caused by a former employee that settled in October 2021. While the Company’s insurance companies have agreed to fund $14.9 million to cover the Company's portion of the settlement, the insurers have reserved the right to later seek recovery for some or all of the amounts paid in connection with the settlement of the case. While the insurance companies have not notified the Company that they will assert such a claim, they may do so in the future. At this time the Company is not able to estimate the amount of any such claim.

Performance Obligations—In the ordinary course of business, and as part of the entitlement and development process, the Company’s subsidiaries are required to provide performance bonds to assure completion of certain public facilities. The Company had $114.3 million and $78.0 million of performance bonds outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Operating Leases—The Company has various operating leases, most of which relate to office facilities. Future minimum payments under the noncancelable operating leases in effect at September 30, 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


2021	$	449
2022	1,828
2023	1,609
2024	1,400
2025	1,079
Thereafter	1,245
Total lease payments	7,610
Less: Discount	(1,005)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	6,605

Operating lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 operating lease expense was $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

The Company primarily enters into operating leases for the right to use office space and computer and office equipment, which have remaining lease terms that range from one to seven years and often include one or more options to renew. The weighted average remaining lease term as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 4.3 and 4.4 years, respectively. Renewal terms are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.

The Company established a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future minimum lease payments at the later of January 1, 2019, the commencement date of the lease, or, if subsequently modified, the date of modification for active leases. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future minimum payments as of the commencement date. The weighted average rate as of September 30, 2021 was 5.9%. Lease components and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $6.1 million and $6.6 million recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability, respectively, which are presented on the consolidated balance sheets within other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $6.0 million and $6.4 million recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability, respectively.

11. Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into agreements with its unconsolidated joint ventures to provide management services related to underlying projects for a management fee and reimbursement of agreed upon out of pocket operating expenses. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a net receivable due from affiliates balance of $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

In July 2021, the Company entered into a landbank agreement for a project in its California segment with a related party. The Company will make regular payments to the related party based on an annualized rate of 7% of the undeveloped land costs while the land is developed and will purchase the lots at a predetermined price of $28.9 million at the Company's discretion. The total amount of interest payments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $0.1 million. No payments have been made to purchase developed lots from the related party during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On June 30, 2020, the Company transferred its interest in a consolidated real estate joint venture that was previously included in the Metro New York segment to LHC. The interest was removed from the consolidated financial

statements of the Company on a prospective basis. The real estate joint venture had net assets at the date of transfer of $28.9 million and a noncontrolling interest of $1.2 million as follows (dollars in thousands):


Assets Transferred
Cash	$	338
Real estate inventories	49,705
Other assets	174
Total assets	$	50,217

Liabilities Transferred
Accounts payable	$	1,416
Construction loan	17,825
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	2,102
Total liabilities	21,343
Net assets transferred	28,874
Noncontrolling interest transferred	$	1,242

In connection with the Merger, we transferred a deferred tax asset ("DTA") to Landsea Holdings, our majority shareholder, of $12.1 million. The DTA represented the deferred tax on interest expensed through Cost of Sales from a related party loan that remained with Landsea Holdings during the Merger.

12. Income Taxes

During the periods presented herein prior to the Merger, the Company reported income taxes on the consolidated income tax returns of Landsea Holdings since it was a wholly owned subsidiary of Landsea Holdings. The income tax provision and related balances in these consolidated financial statements have been calculated as if the Company filed a separate tax return and was operating as a separate business from Landsea Holdings. Therefore, cash tax payments and items of current and deferred taxes during that period may not be reflective of the Company’s actual tax balances.

The effective tax rate of the Company was 21.6% and 18.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 with a tax rate of 23.8% and 25.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation, warrant fair market value adjustments, the gain on forgiveness of the PPP loan, and tax credits for energy efficient homes. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits and tax credits for energy efficient homes.

The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

13. Segment Reporting

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, and sale of homes and lots in multiple states across the country. The Company is managed by geographic location and each of the five geographic regions targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, move-up, and luxury homebuyers.

The management of the five geographic regions report to the Company's chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The CODMs review the

results of operations, including total revenue and income before income tax expense, to assess profitability and to allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has presented its operations as the following five reportable segments:

•Arizona

•California

•Florida

•Metro New York

•Texas

The Company has also identified Corporate operations as a non-operating segment, as it serves to support the homebuilding operations through functional departments such as executive, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting and legal. The majority of the corporate personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding operations and are allocated based on each segment's respective percentage of assets, revenue and dedicated personnel.

The following table summarizes total revenue and income before income tax expense by segment:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Corporate non-operating segment had pretax income of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a $7.0 million gain on remeasurement of warrant liability partially offset by general and administrative expenses.

The following table summarizes total assets by segment:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(dollars in thousands)

As of September 30, 2021, goodwill of $20.7 million and $3.8 million were allocated to the Arizona and Florida segments, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, goodwill of $20.7 million was allocated to the Arizona segment.

14. Fair Value

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date.

The following table presents carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments:


		September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Hierarchy	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
		(dollars in thousands)
Liabilities:
Construction loans (1)	Level 2	$	119,452	$	119,452	$	67,757	$	67,757
Line of credit facilities (1)	Level 2	$	246,933	$	246,933	$	199,358	$	199,358

Loan payable (2)	Level 2	$	852	$	852	$	5,144	$	5,144
Warrant liability	Level 3	$	14,520	$	14,520	$	—	$	—

(1) Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate terms of these loans. Carrying value excludes any associated deferred loan costs.

(2) Carrying amount approximates fair value due to recent issuances of debt having similar characteristics, including interest rate. Carrying value excludes any associated deferred loan costs.

The carrying values of accounts and other receivables, restricted cash, deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the fair value for these financial instruments based upon an evaluation of the underlying characteristics, market data and because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

- 19 -



Landsea Homes Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (unaudited)

Non-financial assets such as real estate inventories are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. This measurement is performed when events and circumstances indicate the asset's carrying value is not recoverable.

The Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant unobservable input as of September 30, 2021 was the volatility rate implied from the public warrants, which are exchanged on an open market, of 48.0%.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances for the Level 3 recurring fair value measurements during the periods presented:

Beginning balance(1)	$	11,275	$	—
Changes in fair value	3,245		—
Ending balance	$	14,520	$	—

15. Stock-Based Compensation

During 2018, Landsea Holdings created a long-term incentive compensation program designed to align the interests of Landsea Holdings, the Company, and its executives by enabling key employees to participate in the Company’s future growth through the issuance of phantom equity awards. Landsea Holdings’ phantom equity awards issued on or after January 1, 2018 were accounted for pursuant to ASC 710, Compensation, as the value was not based on the shares of comparable public entities or other equity, but was based on the book value of Landsea Holdings' equity. Landsea Holdings measured the value of phantom equity awards on a quarterly basis using the intrinsic value method and pushed down the expense to the Company as the employees participating in the long-term incentive compensation program primarily benefit the Company. In connection with the Merger all of the phantom equity awards vested and were either paid out in cash or were converted to stock of LHC and the program was terminated. The Company recorded $2.7 million in general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the accelerated vesting of the phantom awards. The Company paid cash of $2.9 million for the phantom stock awards and granted 0.2 million shares with a grant date value of $1.9 million at the time of the Merger.

The Company adopted the Landsea Homes Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and restricted stock, any of which may be performance-based, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 0.1 million and 0.7 million RSUs, respectively, covering shares of common stock with a weighted grant date fair value of $8.11 and $9.45, respectively, per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 0.2 million long term performance share unit awards (“PSUs”) to certain executives under the Plan with a grant date fair value of $9.44 per share. The PSUs are earned based upon the Company’s performance over three years, measured by adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") over fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023 (the "Performance Periods"). Each award is conditioned upon the Company achieving adjusted EPS targets over the Performance Periods. Target awards of 100% will be earned if the Company’s adjusted EPS meets set thresholds in each of the Performance Periods ("Target Goals"). If adjusted EPS is below or above the target thresholds by defined amounts, an award may still be earned in a range between 50%-200% of the Target Goals. No PSUs were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Our stock compensation expense is presented below.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Stock compensation expense	(dollars in thousands)
RSUs and PSUs	$	1,227	$	—	$	4,056	$	—

Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not grant any RSUs or PSUs and did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

A summary of our outstanding RSUs and PSUs, assuming current estimated level of performance achievement, are as follows (in thousands, except years):


	September 30, 2021
	(in thousands, except period)
Unvested units	836
Remaining cost on unvested units	$	6,118
Remaining vesting period	3.46 years

In accordance with ASC 718, the PSUs were valued on the date of grant at their fair value. The fair value of these grants was equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. ASC 718 does not permit recognition of expense associated with performance-based stock awards until achievement of the performance targets are probable of occurring.

16. Stockholders' Equity

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500.0 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2021, there were 46.3 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

On January 7, 2021, the Merger was consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Prior to the Merger, LF Capital was authorized to issue, and had outstanding, two classes of common shares, Class A and Class B. Upon the consummation of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock converted to shares of Class A. Public stockholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon closing of the Merger, shares of Class A common stock for cash. All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Following the Merger, the Company's equity was retroactively adjusted to reflect the 32.6 million shares of common stock issued to Landsea Holdings.

As of September 30, 2021 there were 21,025,000 outstanding Warrants, consisting of 15,525,000 public warrants and 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants. At the time of the Merger, the Warrant Agreement was amended so that each public warrant is exercisable at $1.15 into one tenth share of common stock. As part of the amendment, each holder of the public warrants received $1.85 for a total of $28.7 million paid by the Company upon closing of the Merger. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable at $11.50 into one share of common stock. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the public warrants, except for the rate of exchange upon exercise. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other

- 21 -



Landsea Homes Corporation

than the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants, except that they will retain their rate of exchange as one-for-one.

The Company may call the public warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement.

The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrants shares. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

17. Earnings Per Share

We use the treasury stock method to calculate EPS as our currently issued Warrants do not have participating rights.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Business Overview

Driven by a pioneering commitment to sustainability, Landsea Homes Corporation ("LHC") designs and builds homes and communities in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and the Metro New York area that reflect modern living–inspired spaces and features, built in vibrant, prime locations where they connect seamlessly with their surroundings and enhance the local lifestyle for living, working, and playing. The defining principle, “Live in Your Element®,” creates the foundation for our customers to live where they want to live, how they want to live – in a home created especially for them.

The Company's operations are engaged in the acquisition, development, and sale of homes and lots in the states of Arizona, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. The Company's operations are organized into five reportable segments: Arizona, California, Florida, Metro New York, and Texas. The Company builds and sells an extensive range of home types across a variety of price points.

In response to the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and government restrictions, we shifted our sales process to offer additional virtual online tours and appointments and, where permitted, appointment-only in-person meetings designed to comply with social distancing and other health and safety requirements and protocols. There is still uncertainty regarding the extent, duration, and lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation has continued to evolve, even as vaccinations become wide-spread. We have seen a general lack of housing inventory that has allowed us to increase prices and derive additional revenue from our home deliveries; however, we frequently see those increased revenues offset by higher costs associated with labor and supply shortages for certain key materials.

The industry continued to see a shift in focus to entry-level homes with more attractive price points as housing prices rise across the nation. The Company continues to capitalize on opportunities to shift inventory and product to more affordable offerings through our recent growth in Arizona, Florida, and Texas primarily through acquisitions. During May 2021, we completed the acquisition of Vintage Estate Homes ("Vintage"), a Florida- and Texas-based homebuilder. The Vintage acquisition added the Florida and Texas reportable segments. During January 2020, we completed our second homebuilder acquisition in the Phoenix, Arizona market within the last three years by purchasing 100% of the membership interests of Garrett Walker Homes ("GWH"). These acquisitions fit with and continue to advance our overall business strategy by expanding into new geographic and diverse markets.

Strategy

Our strategy is focused on maximizing stockholder returns through profitability and efficiency, while balancing appropriate amounts of leverage. In general, we are focused on the following long-term strategic objectives:

•Expand community count in current markets and enhance operating returns

•Maintain an appropriate supply of lots

•Continue to focus on entry-level product offerings

•Continue geographic expansion and diversification into new markets

•Leverage existing SG&A base to enhance stockholder returns and profitability

•Become a top-ten homebuilder in the United States

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures of a company’s performance that exclude or include amounts so as to be different than the most comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

- 27 -

We present non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted home sales gross margin, net debt to net capital, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income in their respective sections below to enhance an investor’s evaluation of the ongoing operating results and to facilitate meaningful comparison of the results between periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting.

Summary Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, home sales revenue increased 34% and home deliveries increased 18% to 1,106 units from 940 units as compared to the same prior year period. The increase in home deliveries and home sales revenue year-over-year is derived primarily from our California segment which saw significant demand and price appreciation during 2021. During 2020, our California operations were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 mandatory stay at home orders, which caused meaningful delays in our operations and in some communities prohibited us from delivering homes to our customers. The most restrictive of these government orders were lifted towards the end of 2020. We also saw price appreciation in the Arizona segment which drove the average selling price ("ASP") up 21% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year period. We had 162 home deliveries generating revenue of $63.8 million from our Vintage acquisition.

We remain focused on growth and view our leverage ratios as a key factor in allowing us to expand. Even as the Company has grown organically and through acquisitions in recent years, we remain in a position to act on our strategy and to be opportunistic about acquisitions and other growth opportunities. Our debt-to-capital ratio increased to 38.4% as of September 30, 2021 compared to 33.3% as of December 31, 2020. We believe the strength of our balance sheet and operating platform have positioned us well to continue to execute our growth strategy.

We anticipate the homebuilding markets in each of our operating segments to be tied to both the local economy and the macro-economic environment. Accordingly, net orders, home deliveries, and ASPs in future years could be negatively affected by economic conditions, such as decreases in employment and median household incomes, as well as decreases in household formations and increasing supply of inventories. Shortages in labor or materials could also significantly increase costs, reduce gross margins, and lower our overall profitability. During 2021 we experienced increases in our production cycle times due to labor and material shortages that have caused us to reduce our absorption rate in certain markets, mainly in our Arizona segment. Additionally, the results could be impacted by a decrease in home affordability as a result of price appreciation, increases in mortgage interest rates, or tightening of mortgage lending standards.

Our Arizona segment recorded pretax income of $5.1 million and $10.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $3.3 million and $1.1 million in the comparable periods during 2020. The increase in pretax income in 2021 is primarily due to an increase in gross margins stemming from high demand which has allowed us to increase pricing.

Our California segment recorded pretax income of $8.0 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $5.9 million and a pretax loss of $1.4 million in the comparable periods in 2020. The increase was partially due to increasing demand in the current periods. This allowed us to increase pricing, which resulted in an increase in gross margins, even with a shift in product mix that lowered our overall ASP in California. The prior periods were impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions and delays. Additionally, the California segment recorded real estate inventory impairments of $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company began operations in the Florida and Texas segments in May 2021 following the acquisition of Vintage.

The Metro New York segment experienced a decrease in pretax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same prior periods, due to smaller losses from the unconsolidated joint venture at the LS-NJ Port Imperial JV LLC ("Avora") project. This was primarily due to strengthening market conditions in the current periods while the prior periods were impacted by COVID-19 related delays and pricing pressure. Avora recorded an impairment charge of $27.1 million resulting in a $13.8 million loss on unconsolidated joint venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We have also identified the Company's Corporate operations as a non-operating segment, as it serves to support the operations through functional departments such as executive, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting, and legal. The majority of the corporate personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the business operations and are allocated accordingly. The Corporate non-operating segment had pretax income of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a $7.0 million gain on remeasurement of warrant liability partially offset by general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September

- 29 -

30, 2021, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $3.2 million due to the remeasurement of the warrant liability and costs allocated to our Corporate non-operating segment increased significantly as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. This included $4.5 million of transaction costs related to the Merger, costs associated with the Vintage acquisition and other potential acquisitions, as well as other increased costs associated with being a publicly traded company.

Home Deliveries and Home Sales Revenue

Changes in home sales revenue are the result of changes in the number of homes delivered and the ASP of those delivered homes. Commentary on significant changes for each of the segments in these metrics is provided below.

Our Arizona segment delivered 171 and 560 homes and generated $63.5 million and $192.8 million in home sales revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in home closings and home sales revenue compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily attributable to production delays partially offset by an increase in ASP of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 over the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to price appreciation in the Arizona market and a larger number of homes delivered in communities with higher-end products.

Our California segment delivered 121 and 384 homes and generated $110.0 million and $346.7 million in home sales revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 134 and 255 homes delivered with $130.5 million and $255.5 million in home sales revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in home deliveries and revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily related to the prior year benefit from easing COVID-19 related restrictions in June of last year that resulted in more home closings that were built up in backlog. The year-over-year increase in deliveries and home sales revenue within our California segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the result of strengthening market conditions, including strong demand and rising prices in the current period. The decrease in ASP was the result of a change in mix of homes delivered during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included more homes with a lower price point compared to the same period in 2020.

- 30 -

The Company began operations in the Florida and Texas segments in May 2021 following the acquisition of Vintage.

The Metro New York segment has not yet delivered any homes, other than those through unconsolidated joint ventures. Therefore, there are no home sale revenues or deliveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Home Sales Gross Margins

Home sales gross margin measures the price achieved on delivered homes compared to the costs needed to build the home. In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, inventory impairments (if applicable), and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable). We believe the below information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness and acquisitions have on the gross margins and allows for comparability to previous periods and competitors. See Note 3 - Business Combinations within the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding acquired work in process inventory.

(1) This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's operating results in accordance with GAAP. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure is meaningful because it provides insight into the impact that financing arrangements and acquisitions have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our gross margins to competitors that present similar information.

Home sales gross margin increased 2.5% and 3.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2020 primarily due to price appreciation amid high product demand in our Arizona and California segments. Additionally, an impairment charge of $3.4 million was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted home sales gross margin excluding interest, inventory impairments, and purchase price accounting for acquired inventory increased 1.0% and 1.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to price appreciation and an increase in gross margins within our California segment, partially offset by higher costs.

Lot Sales and Other Revenue

Lot sales and other revenue and gross margin can vary significantly between reporting periods based on (1) the number of lots sold and (2) the percentage of completion related to the development activities required as part of the lot sales and other contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $5.2 million and $21.5 million, respectively, of lot sales and other revenue from the sale of lots in our Arizona, Florida, and Texas segments and the subsequent development of the lots and homes under contract. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not have any lot sales or revenue from lot sales and other contracts.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the sales, marketing, and general and administrative ("SG&A") expense rate as a percentage of home sales revenue was 14.0% and 13.4%, respectively, an increase of 2.4% and a decrease of 0.6%, respectively, from the prior periods. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to the decrease in home closings from 433 to 380 while these expenses increased over the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in line with the increase in home sales and revenue during this period. The increase in total sales, marketing and general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher closing costs due to the increase in home deliveries and $4.5 million of transaction related expenses related to the Merger. The Vintage acquisition and other potential acquisitions, along with an increase in other general and administrative expenses related to being a publicly traded company also drove the increase in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net New Home Orders, Dollar Value of Orders, and Monthly Absorption Rates

Changes in the dollar value of net new orders are impacted by changes in the number of net new orders and the ASP of those homes. Monthly Absorption Rate is calculated as total net new orders per period, divided by the average active communities during the period, divided by the number of months per period.

(1) Monthly absorption rates for Florida and Texas in 2021 are based on five months, for the time subsequent to the acquisition of Vintage in May 2021.

(2) The ASP calculation for our Texas segment is not a meaningful disclosure as presented above due to cancellations exceeding sales as contracts are renegotiated. Our three new sales contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 had an ASP of $1,088 thousand.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the decrease in net new orders and dollar value in Arizona is primarily due to us intentionally delaying entering into sales contracts. We are experiencing constraints in our production processes due to labor and material shortages for homes currently under construction which has extended our production cycle. We expect such delays are likely to continue through the remainder of the year. The decrease in the dollar value of net new home orders was partially offset by a 49% and 33% increase in ASP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. This is primarily due to price appreciation in the Arizona market and a larger number of homes in communities with higher-end products.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the decrease in net new orders in California was primarily due to an decrease in the number of active communities as a number of active communities sold out in the comparable periods.

- 33 -

The Company began operations in the Florida and Texas segments in May 2021 following the acquisition of Vintage. Our Texas segment had eleven cancellations due to pre-acquisition sales contracts that did not reflect current costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, pre-acquisition contracts continued to be renegotiated or cancelled and the associated homes resold, increasing the sales dollar value of new sales and the ASP of homes in backlog.

The Metro New York segment began selling homes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 at its one active community.

Average Selling Communities

Average Selling Communities is the sum of communities actively selling homes each month, divided by the total months in the calculation period.

Backlog

Backlog reflects the number of homes, net of cancellations, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a customer but have not yet delivered the home.

(2) Backlog acquired in Texas at the date of the Vintage acquisition was 40 homes with a value of $31,318 thousand.

The increase in the number of backlog homes and value as of September 30, 2021 as compared to September 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the Vintage acquisition which added backlog in the Florida and Texas segments. Additionally, the Metro New York segment began sales in May of 2021. The increase in value and ASP coincides with price appreciation for the net new home orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Lots Owned or Controlled

The table below summarizes the lots owned or controlled by reportable segment as of the dates presented. Lots controlled includes lots where we have placed a deposit and have a signed purchase contract or rolling option contract.

The total lots owned and controlled at September 30, 2021 increased 46% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to the acquisition of Vintage, which added approximately 1,800 lots owned and controlled, as well as recent land acquisitions and option contracts in Arizona, California, and Texas.

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we held membership interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures related to homebuilding activities, both of which are part of the Metro New York segment. As of September 30, 2021, one of the joint ventures, Avora, had active homebuilding activities with orders and deliveries, while the other, LS-Boston Point LLC ("Boston Point"), was effectively closed out with only customary post-closing, warranty-related activities remaining.

Our share of joint venture income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to losses of $0.6 million and $16.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company's joint venture loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to an impairment charge at the underlying project of $27.1 million due to slowing deliveries during the prior year arising from restrictions and delays due to COVID-19, increased competition from neighboring communities, and weaker pricing than expected.

The following sets forth supplemental operational and financial information about the unconsolidated joint ventures. Such information is not included directly in the financial statements, but is reflected in the results as a component of equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated joint ventures. This data is included for informational purposes only.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was a provision of $3.2 million, as compared to a benefit of $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 18.1%, as compared to 25.4% for the nine months ended

September 30, 2020. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation, warrant fair market value adjustments, the gain on forgiveness of the PPP loan, and tax credits for energy efficient homes. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits and tax credits for energy efficient homes.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the $4.3 million gain on our Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan forgiveness partially offset by other expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the estimates included in the consolidated financial statements might be impacted if we used different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in our Form 8-K/A, which contains our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, except as noted below.

Warrant liability—The Company has Private Placement Warrants outstanding presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a liability recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable at $11.50 into one share of common stock. The Private Placement Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Refer to Note 16 - Stockholders' Equity for additional information on the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are recorded at fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value between periods recorded as a gain (loss) on remeasurement of the warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value is determined by a Black-Scholes options pricing model which includes Level 3 inputs which are discussed in Note 14 - Fair Value.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $82.4 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, a $27.7 million decrease from December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in real estate inventories of $123.9 million and payment of $54.6 million for the Vintage acquisition. These payments were partially offset by $64.4 million of net cash received in the Merger, an increase in net debt borrowings of $67.5 million, and $17.9 million received through distributions from our Avora joint venture.

Our principal sources of capital are cash generated from home and land sales activities, borrowings from credit facilities, and distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. Principal uses of capital are land purchases, land development, home construction, repayments on credit facilities, contributions and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, the acquisitions of other homebuilders, and the payment of routine liabilities.

Cash flows for each community depend on the community's stage in the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, and construction of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of inventory and not recognized in the consolidated statements of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outlays prior to recognition of earnings. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflow associated with home and land construction was previously incurred. From a liquidity standpoint, we are actively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to maintain and grow our supply of lots and active selling communities.

We expect to generate cash from the sale of our inventory including unsold and presold homes under construction. After making required loan repayments under our various credit facilities, we intend to re-deploy the cash generated from the sale of inventory to acquire and develop strategic, well-positioned lots that represent opportunities to generate future income and cash flows for long-term success. As we continue to expand our business, we expect that our cash outlays for land purchases and land development to increase our lot inventory may, at times, exceed our cash generated by operations.

We intend to utilize debt as part of our ongoing financial strategy, coupled with redeployment of cash flows from operations to finance our business. As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $367.2 million in aggregate principal, excluding deferred loan costs. We will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the market value of our assets and the ability of particular assets, and our business as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service. In addition, our credit facilities contain certain financial covenants, among others, that limit the amount of leverage we can maintain, and minimum tangible net worth and liquidity requirements. See below for discussion of the new $500 million credit facility that we entered into in October 2021.

We believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available from our credit facilities or through accessing debt or equity capital as needed.

Credit Facilities

The Company has a secured line of credit ("LOC") with total commitments of $195.0 million and a maturity date of February 2024. The LOC has a variable interest rate of Prime plus 1.25% with a floor of 5.25%. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate was 5.25%. As of September 30, 2021, the total available amount under the credit facility based on the collateral within the LOC was $188.9 million, of which there was $125.2 million outstanding, compared to $65.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

In connection with the acquisition of GWH, the Company entered into an additional $75.0 million line of credit ("LOC2") with a bank, that was later expanded to $150.0 million. On the date of acquisition, the Company drew $70.0 million from the LOC2. The LOC2 has an interest rate of Prime plus 1.00% with a floor of 5.00% and matures in January 2024. As of September 30, 2021, the total available amount under the LOC2 based on the borrowing base was $150.0 million, of which there was $121.8 million outstanding, compared to $74.6 million outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

We had a total of $119.5 million in project specific construction, secured loan agreements ("Construction Loans") outstanding as of September 30, 2021 with various banks, and maturity dates extending from June 2022 to March 2024. The maturity dates of the Construction Loans generally coincide with the estimated completion dates of the underlying communities and collateral. The Construction Loans have variable interest rates based on Prime or LIBOR and as of September 30, 2021, ranged from 4.00% to 5.50%. In 2018, the Company assumed two loans from a third-party land seller in connection with the acquisition of real estate inventories. Both loans have a variable

- 37 -

interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.50% with a floor of 8.25%. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate on both loans was 8.25%.

On October 6, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with two banks ( the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured borrowing of up to $500 million. We may increase the borrowing amount up to $850 million in future periods. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or Prime Rate plus 2.25% with a floor of 3.75%. The Credit Agreement matures on October 6, 2024. Concurrently with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we paid off the LOC, the LOC2 and all but one of our Construction Loans.

We received a PPP loan during the second quarter of 2020 in the amount of $4.3 million. We received a notice of forgiveness of the PPP loan in June 2021. The forgiveness was recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of operations of the Company.

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance bonds related to the land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $114.3 million and $78.0 million, respectively, in performance bonds issued and outstanding. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and performance bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed.

Financial Covenants

Our loans have certain financial covenants, including requirements for us to maintain a minimum liquidity balance, minimum tangible net worth, gross profit margin, leverage and interest coverage ratios. See the table below for the covenant calculations.


	September 30, 2021					December 31, 2020
Financial Covenants	Actual			Covenant Requirement		Actual			Covenant Requirement

(1) Calculation is based on Adjusted EBITDA.

(2) Calculation is consolidated debt divided by total capitalization excluding the effects of goodwill.

(3) Calculation is N/A as of September 30, 2021 as these covenant requirements are only on an annual basis.

The loan agreements also contain certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on incurrence of other indebtedness, liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions, investments, and limitations on fundamental changes. The agreements contain customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitments and permit the lender to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings. These events of default include nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; change in control; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all required covenants.

Cash Flows—Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

•Net cash used in operating activities was $125.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $48.8 million used during the same period in 2020. The change in net cash used was primarily due to an increase in spending on real estate inventories of $123.9 million compared to $60.7 million in the same period in 2020, which was the result of additional land acquisitions and higher construction costs during the period related to a higher number of communities, a portion of which have not yet begun selling homes. The decrease in accrued expenses of $28.1 million was primarily related to the decrease in land development and home construction accrual due to the closing and completion of communities in the California segment. This increased spending on real estate inventories and decrease in accrued liabilities was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable at the end of the period.

•Net cash used in investing activities was $29.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $130.0 million cash used during the same period in 2020. This difference was primarily related to the size of our acquisitions in the comparable periods. Payments for the acquisition of Vintage during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net of cash received, was $44.5 million while payments for the acquisition of GWH during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net of cash received was $128.5 million. Distributions of capital from unconsolidated joint ventures provided $17.9 million of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

•Net cash provided by financing activities was $127.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $109.3 million during the same period in 2020. The increase was largely due to net proceeds of $64.4 million from the Merger which consisted of cash proceeds of $100.7 million less cash paid to the public warrant holders to amend the public warrants of $28.7 million and $7.5 million paid for offering related costs. Cash from the Merger was also used to pay off a convertible note of $1.5 million assumed in the Merger. Additionally, there were net borrowings from notes and other debts payable of $67.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to net borrowings from notes and other debts payable of $136.7 million stemming from the acquisition of GWH, partially offset by a $15.4 million final distribution to noncontrolling interest related to one of our consolidated joint ventures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Option Contracts

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements. We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and others as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from financing sources. Option contracts generally require payment of a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. Our obligations with respect to purchase contracts and option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding purchase and option contracts totaling $375.5 million, and had $53.8 million of related cash deposits pertaining to these contracts.

The utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

Contractual Obligations

The contractual obligations as of September 30, 2021 were as follows:


	Payments due by Periods
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
	(dollars in thousands)
Long-term debt maturities (1)	$	367,237	$	11	$	118,874	$	248,352	$	—
Operating leases (2)	7,610		449		3,437		2,479		1,245
Land option and purchase contracts (3)	375,506		33,932		304,346		37,228		—
Total contractual obligations	$	750,353	$	34,392	$	426,657	$	288,059	$	1,245

(1) Principal payments in accordance with the LOC, LOC2, Construction Loans, and other loans payable.

(2) Operating lease obligations do not include payments to property owners covering common area maintenance charges.

(3) Includes the remaining purchase price for all land option and purchase contracts, net of deposits, as of September 30, 2021.

We are subject to certain obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land purchase contracts) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of business. Option contracts for the purchase of land enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties until the Company has determined whether to exercise its option, which may serve to reduce its financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $53.8 million of deposits, of which $0.1 million are refundable. We expect to acquire the majority of such land within the next four years. The Company's performance, including the timing and amount of purchase, if any, on the remaining purchase and option contracts is subject to change.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the spring, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors. Since it typically takes four to eight months to construct a new home, we deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders convert to home deliveries. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occurs during the second half of the year. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted home sales gross margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net debt to net capital, and adjusted net income. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to provide investors additional insights to facilitate the analysis of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures other companies may use with the same or similar names. This limits, to some extent, the usefulness of this information for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. This information should only be used to evaluate our financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP information. Accordingly, we qualify our use of non-GAAP financial measures whenever non-GAAP financial measures are presented.

Net Debt to Net Capital

The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to net capital which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs plus total equity).

The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by net capital (sum of net debt plus total equity). The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to net capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to net capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered.

See table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to capital.


	September 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
	(dollars in thousands)
Total notes and other debts payable, net	$	361,735		$	264,809
Total equity	579,550			529,486
Total capital	$	941,285		$	794,295
Ratio of debt to capital	38.4		%	33.3		%

Total notes and other debts payable, net	$	361,735		$	264,809
Less: cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	82,360			110,048
Net debt	279,375			154,761

Net capital	$	858,925		$	684,247
Ratio of net debt to net capital	32.5		%	22.6		%

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) inventory impairments, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, (vii) transaction costs related to the Merger and business combinations, (viii) the impact of income or loss allocations from our unconsolidated joint ventures, (ix) gain on forgiveness of PPP loan, and (x) gain (loss) on remeasurement of warrant liability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for

- 41 -

comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income to LHC is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating results without the effect of certain expenses that were historically pushed down by our parent company and other non-recurring items. We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income to LHC is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, the impact from our unconsolidated joint ventures, merger related transaction costs, gain on forgiveness of PPP loan, and gain (loss) on remeasurement of warrant liability, and

- 42 -

tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. We also adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Due to the nature of homebuilding and our business we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and inflation as described below. We are also exposed to market risk from fluctuations in our stock prices and related characteristics, which impact the fair value of our warrant liability.

Interest Rates

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company's primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt and credit facilities. Borrowings under variable rate debt and credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Prime Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 0.75% to 6.50% per annum.

Inflation

Operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of September 30, 2021, management, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described under the section Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting below.

Based upon SEC staff guidance, an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be excluded from management's evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures for up to a year from the date of acquisition. We excluded Vintage Estate Homes from our assessment of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during the second quarter 2021. The elements of the acquired business’ internal controls over financial reporting that have been excluded represent less than 1% of our total assets as of September 30, 2021, 18% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 12% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

- 44 -

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

•We did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls, or maintain documentary evidence of existing control activities to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including adequate controls over the period-end financial reporting process, the preparation and review of account reconciliations and journal entries, including segregation of duties. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

•As previously disclosed in “Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting of warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of LF Capital and assumed by Landsea Homes Corporation in the merger. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement related to the accounting for the warrants in the historical financial statements of LF Capital for the periods presented in that Form 10-K/A.

Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Efforts

Management has redesigned the existing control that resulted in the material weakness over accounting for warrants. In redesigning the control, management has implemented a specific control activity to include a review of the accounting for warrants by the Corporate Controller, in consultation with third party experts. Although we have redesigned the control as described above, the control has not been in place and has not operated for a sufficient period of time as of September 30, 2021 to demonstrate the material weakness has been remediated.

We are currently in the process of evaluating the design of controls and implementing measures to address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses related to an insufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of expertise, knowledge and training and inadequate documentation of controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

- 45 -

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Item 1, Part 1, “Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies - Legal.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 that was filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, except as follows:

Our internal controls over financial reporting are not currently effective in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business and reputation.

As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of SOX, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of SOX are significantly more stringent than those that were previously required of Landsea Homes Corporation. We currently have limited accounting personnel and other supervisory resources to execute our accounting processes and address internal control over financial reporting. We may in the future experience difficulty meeting our reporting requirements in a timely manner. To comply with SOX and related requirements, we continue to refine and develop our disclosure controls and other internal control procedures. We have needed and will continue to undertake various actions, such as implementing additional internal controls and procedures, adopting additional technologies, and hiring additional accounting, financial, and internal audit staff.

During review and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have identified deficiencies and material weaknesses and may not be able to remediate them in a timely manner. Further, as we are an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not currently required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. At such time as this attestation is required, our independent registered public accounting firm may be unable to express a favorable opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting or issue a report that is adverse in the event that one or more material weaknesses exist as a company’s internal control over financial reporting cannot be considered effective if one or more material weaknesses exist. Subsequent testing of our internal controls by us or our independent registered public accounting firm may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. If we identify additional material weaknesses in the internal control over our financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express a favorable opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our securities could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Testing and maintaining these controls can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are also important to the operation of our business. New or existing controls may be inadequate over time as our business and accounting standards evolve. We have limited experience implementing the controls and systems that are necessary to operate as a public company and adopting changes in accounting principles or interpretations that are mandated by regulatory bodies. Implementing new internal controls can be disruptive to our business, including if such controls do not work as planned, or we experience issues arising before and after their implementation.

Our internal controls over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all errors or fraud. No control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and in the future, may identify additional material weaknesses or fail to maintain an effective system of controls. If we are not able to remediate the material weaknesses and otherwise maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of our financial reporting, investor confidence in our Company and the value of our common stock and warrants could be adversely affected and our access to the capital markets could be impaired.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of this report, in preparation of our quarterly financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as we did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. As previously disclosed in “Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, we also determined that the Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting of warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of LF Capital and assumed by Landsea Homes Corporation in the Merger. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses and otherwise establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, or if additional material weaknesses are identified in the future, these material weaknesses could result in material misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial results, which may cause our investors to lose confidence in us and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and warrants could be adversely affected or cause our access to capital markets to be impaired.

As an “emerging growth company” we are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the SOX, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. As management continues to evaluate their internal control environment in preparation for compliance with Section 404 of SOX, additional material weaknesses may be identified.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 8, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors established June 8, 2022 as the date of the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) and set April 11, 2022 as the record date for determining stockholders who are eligible to receive notice of and vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location and matters to be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Because the date of the 2022 Annual

- 47 -

Meeting represents a change of more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), the deadlines for stockholders to submit proposals under Rule 14a-8 and under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws for the 2022 Annual Meeting as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting are no longer applicable.

Rule 14a-8 Proposals Deadline. Stockholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, must be received at the Company’s principal executive office not later than the close of business on December 23, 2021 (which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials).

Advance Notice Deadlines. The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting (but not for inclusion in the proxy statement). Notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered no later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to, the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by us. Accordingly, for our 2022 Annual Meeting, notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to us no later than March 10, 2022 and no earlier than February 8, 2022. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy the other requirements set forth in the bylaws.

All submissions must be made to Secretary, Landsea Homes Corporation, 660 Newport Center Drive, Suite 300, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
