1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. The October 31, 2016 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2016 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements, we suggest that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 ("2016 Form 10-K"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of April 30, 2017 ; the results of our operations for the six -month and three -month periods ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 ; and our cash flows for the six -month periods ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 . The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Acquisition

In November 2016, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Coleman Real Estate Holdings, LLC ("Coleman") for $85.2 million in cash. The assets acquired were primarily inventory, including approximately 1,750 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements. As part of the acquisition, we assumed contracts to deliver 128 homes with an aggregate value of $38.8 million . The average price of the undelivered homes at the date of acquisition was approximately $303,000 . Our selling community count increased by 15 communities at the acquisition date. The acquisition of Coleman's assets and operations was not material to our results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers' Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 provides guidance for a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license or should be accounted for as a service contract. We adopted ASU 2015-05 on November 1, 2016, and we elected to adopt the standard prospectively. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" ("ASU 2015-02"), which eliminates the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the variable interest entities ("VIEs") guidance and makes targeted amendments to the current consolidation guidance. The new guidance applies to all entities involved with limited partnerships or similar entities and requires re-evaluation of these entities under the revised guidance which may change previous consolidation conclusions. We adopted ASU 2015-02 on November 1, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of pension and other postretirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees while the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-07 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets" ("ASU 2017-05"). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic

610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, as defined below, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we are required to adopt ASU 2017-05 concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, "Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts." The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2015-14"), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and, at that time, we expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our home building revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on other aspects of our business and on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business" ("ASU 2017-01"), which provides a more robust framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-01 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Inventory

Inventory at April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale, communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes, communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on, and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.

Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions, do not have any remaining backlog, and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities.

Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below:

See Note 11, "Fair Value Disclosures," for information regarding the number of operating communities that we tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair values of those communities, net of impairment charges.

At April 30, 2017 , we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At April 30, 2017 , we determined that 87 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.02 billion , on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $51.7 million , were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2016 , we determined that 78 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $987.3 million , on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $44.1 million , were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts.

Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed, for the periods indicated, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We have investments in various unconsolidated joint venture entities. These joint ventures (i) develop land for the joint venture participants and for sale to outside builders ("Land Development Joint Ventures"); (ii) develop for-sale homes ("Home Building Joint Ventures"); (iii) develop luxury for-rent residential apartments, commercial space, and a hotel ("Rental Property Joint Ventures"), which includes our investment in Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the "Trust"); and (iv) invest in distressed loans and real estate and provide financing to residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites ("Gibraltar Joint Ventures").

The table below provides information as of April 30, 2017 , regarding active joint ventures that we are invested in, by joint venture category ($ amounts in thousands):

Certain joint ventures in which we have investments obtained debt financing to finance a portion of their activities. The table below provides information at April 30, 2017 , regarding the debt financing obtained by category ($ amounts in thousands):

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to purchase and develop a parcel of land located in Irvine, California. The joint venture expects to develop approximately 840 home sites on this land in multiple phases. We have a 50% interest in this joint venture. The joint venture intends to develop the property and sell approximately 50% of the value of the home sites to each of the members of the joint venture. At April 30, 2017 , we had an investment of $178.5 million in this joint venture and were committed to make additional contributions to this joint venture of up to $5.0 million . To finance a portion of the land purchase, the joint venture entered into a $320.0 million purchase money mortgage

with the seller. In December 2016, the joint venture entered into a $200.0 million loan agreement and each member made a capital contribution of $80.0 million . A portion of the proceeds from the loan in addition to the capital contributions made by the members were used to repay the purchase money mortgage. At April 30, 2017 , this joint venture had $189.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the loan.

Home Building Joint Ventures

Our Home Building Joint Ventures are delivering homes in New York City and Jupiter, Florida.

In December 2016, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to complete the development of a high-rise luxury condominium project in New York City. Before the formation of this joint venture, we acquired the property and incurred approximately $176.0 million of land and land development costs. The joint venture, in which we have a 20% interest, purchased the property from us at our cost, a portion of which was financed by a $236.5 million construction loan obtained by the joint venture. From the sale and financing, we received proceeds of $148.0 million , of which $106.1 million was held in escrow by our captive title company at October 31, 2016 and was included in "Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at October 31, 2016 . At April 30, 2017 , we had an investment of $30.0 million in this joint venture and the joint venture had $82.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the construction loan.

Rental Property Joint Ventures

As of April 30, 2017 , our Rental Property Joint Ventures owned 12 for-rent apartment projects, which are located in the metro Boston to metro Washington, D.C. corridor. At April 30, 2017 , our joint ventures had approximately 2,950 units that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 600 units in the lease-up stage, and 1,400 units under active development. In addition, we either own, have under contract, or under a letter of intent approximately 5,590 units. We intend to develop these units with joint venture partners in the future.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we sold a 25% interest in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated third party. In connection with the sale, we, along with our partner, recapitalized the joint venture and refinanced the existing $112.2 million construction loan with a $133.0 million , 10 -year fixed rate loan. As a result of these transactions, we received cash of $42.9 million and recognized a gain of $20.5 million in the six and three months ended April 30, 2017 which is included in "Income from unconsolidated entities" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. At April 30, 2017 , we had a 25% interest and an $8.4 million investment in this joint venture.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we sold a 25% interest in another one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated third party. In connection with the sale, we, along with our partner, recapitalized the joint venture and refinanced the existing $54.1 million construction loan with a $56.0 million , 10 -year fixed rate loan. As a result of these transactions, we received cash of $12.0 million and recognized a gain of $6.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2017 and the six months ended April 30, 2017, which is included in "Income from unconsolidated entities" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. At April 30, 2017 , we had a 25% interest and a $3.3 million investment in this joint venture.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 525 -unit luxury for-rent residential apartment building near Union Station in Washington, D.C. Prior to the formation of this joint venture, we acquired the land, through a 100%-owned entity, and incurred $35.1 million of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a 50% interest in this entity for $20.2 million and we subsequently received cash of $18.7 million to align the capital accounts of each of the partners of the joint venture. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, as a result of the sale of 50% of our interest to our partner, we recognized a gain of $3.0 million . Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest, we deferred an additional $3.0 million of the gain on the sale. At April 30, 2017 , we had an investment of $29.3 million in this joint venture and expect to make additional investments of approximately $0.3 million for the development of this project. In November 2016, the joint venture entered into a $130.6 million construction loan agreement. At April 30, 2017 , there were $6.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the construction loan agreement.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 390 -unit luxury for-rent residential apartment building in a Boston, Massachusetts suburb, on land that we were under contract to purchase. We have a 25% interest in this joint venture. On October 20, 2016, the joint venture entered into a $91.0 million construction loan agreement with a bank to finance the development of this project. At April 30, 2017 , there were no outstanding borrowings

under the construction loan agreement. At April 30, 2017 , we had an investment of $10.3 million in this joint venture and expect to make additional investments of approximately $1.2 million for the development of this project.

We have an investment in a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest to develop a luxury hotel in conjunction with a high-rise luxury condominium project in New York City being developed by a related Home Building Joint Venture. At April 30, 2017 , we had invested $37.4 million in this joint venture. In December 2016, this joint venture entered into an $80.0 million , three -year term loan agreement. The proceeds from the term loan, along with proceeds from the closing of condominium units at the Home Building Joint Venture, were used to repay an existing construction loan. At April 30, 2017 , this joint venture had $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the term loan.

In 1998, we formed the Trust to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by us; one-third by current and former members of our senior management; and one-third by an unrelated party. As of April 30, 2017 , our investment in the Trust was zero as cumulative distributions received from the Trust have been in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment. We provide development, finance, and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amount of $0.8 million in both the six -month periods ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 . We recognized fees of $0.4 million in both the three -month periods ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 . In the first quarter of fiscal 2016 , we received a $2.0 million distribution from the Trust, which is included in "Income from unconsolidated entities" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. No distributions were received from the Trust in the first half of fiscal 2017.

Gibraltar Joint Ventures

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC ("Gibraltar"), entered into two ventures with an institutional investor to provide builders and developers with land banking and venture capital. We have a 25% interest in these ventures. These ventures will finance builders' and developers' acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We may invest up to $100.0 million in these ventures. As of April 30, 2017 , we had an investment of $10.3 million in these ventures.

In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a separate venture with the same institutional investor to purchase, from Gibraltar, certain foreclosed real estate owned ("REO") and distressed loans for $24.1 million . We have a 24% interest in this venture. In the three months ended April 30, 2016 , we recognized a gain of $1.3 million from the sale of these assets to the venture. At April 30, 2017 , we have a $4.9 million investment in this venture and are committed to invest an additional $9.6 million , if necessary.

Guarantees

The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from "bad boy acts" of the unconsolidated entity.

In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, if a joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.

We believe that, as of April 30, 2017 , in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At April 30, 2017 , certain unconsolidated entities have loan commitments aggregating $1.32 billion , of which, if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed, we estimate $194.0 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At April 30, 2017 , the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $887.6 million , of which we estimate $157.8 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. The terms of these guarantees generally range from 1 month to 43 months . These maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners.

In addition, we have guaranteed approximately $2.2 million of ground lease payments and insurance deductibles for three joint ventures.

As of April 30, 2017 , the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations of certain unconsolidated entities was approximately $4.4 million . We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.

Variable Interest Entities

At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , we determined that five and three , respectively, of our joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance of ASC 810, "Consolidation." However, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs' other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and the other members. The information presented below regarding the investments, commitments, and guarantees in unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs is also included in the information provided above.

At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures deemed to be VIEs, which is included in "Investments in unconsolidated entities" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $18.8 million and $16.4 million , respectively. At April 30, 2017 , the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures that are VIEs was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $9.6 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. At October 31, 2016 , the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures that are VIEs was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $1.4 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. Of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees at October 31, 2016 , $14.3 million is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees.

5. Loans Payable, Senior Notes, and Mortgage Company Loan Facility

Loans Payable

At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , loans payable consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

Senior Unsecured Term Loan

On February 3, 2014, we entered into a $485.0 million , five -year senior unsecured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") with a syndicate of banks. We borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan Facility on February 3, 2014. In October 2014, we increased the Term Loan Facility by $15.0 million and borrowed the full amount of the increase. The Term Loan Facility, as amended, matures on August 2, 2021. At April 30, 2017 , the interest rate on borrowings was 2.39% per annum.

We and substantially all of our 100% -owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as our New Credit Facility, as described below.

Credit Facility

On August 1, 2013, we entered into a $1.035 billion , unsecured, five -year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The commitments under the Credit Facility were scheduled to expire on August 1, 2018 . On May 19, 2016, we entered into a new $1.215 billion (subsequently increased to $1.295 billion ), unsecured, five -year revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks (the "Aggregate Credit Commitment") and terminated the Credit Facility. The commitments under the New Credit Facility are scheduled to expire on May 19, 2021 . We and substantially all of our 100% -owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the New Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at April 30, 2017 , our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.71 billion . Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at April 30, 2017 , our leverage ratio was approximately 0.70 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.41 billion . Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the New Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.40 billion as of April 30, 2017 .

At April 30, 2017 , we had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $120.0 million under the New Credit Facility. At April 30, 2017 , the interest rate on borrowings under the New Credit Facility would have been 2.50% per annum.

Loans Payable – Other

Our "Loans payable – other" primarily represent purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our manufacturing facilities. At April 30, 2017 , the weighted-average interest rate on "Loans payable – other" was 3.75% per annum.

Senior Notes

At April 30, 2017 , we, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., had nine issues of Senior Notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $3.01 billion . In March 2017, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027. The Company received $297.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these Senior Notes.

Mortgage Company Loan Facility

In October 2016, TBI Mortgage ® Company ("TBI Mortgage"), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, entered into a Mortgage Warehousing Agreement ("Warehousing Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. The purpose of the Warehousing Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage, and the Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing." The Warehousing Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150.0

million , subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $210.0 million for a short period of time. The Warehousing Agreement expires on October 27, 2017 , and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. At April 30, 2017 , the interest rate on the Warehousing Agreement was 3.00% per annum. At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , there was $61.1 million and $210.0 million , respectively, outstanding under the Warehousing Agreement, respectively, which are included in liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses at April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

As previously disclosed in Note 6, "Accrued Expenses" in our 2016 Form 10-K, we reviewed communities in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our Mid-Atlantic region) and determined that we needed to make repairs primarily to older homes in certain of these communities relating to stucco and other water intrusion claims. Each quarter, we review and update our assumptions to the estimates used in determining our estimated liability for these claims. This review and update includes an analysis to determine an estimated number of claims likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve these claims. This analysis involves many factors including: the number of communities involved; the closing dates of the homes in each community; the number of claims received to date; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims in each community; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and others; and the amount of warranty and self-insurance reserves already recorded. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in the underlying assumptions, it is reasonably possible that our actual costs could differ from those estimated, such differences could be material, and, therefore, we are unable to estimate the range of any such differences.

Based upon our reviews for the six month and three month periods ended April 30, 2017, we determined that no adjustments to our previous estimates were needed. Based upon our review for the three months ended April 30, 2016, we determined that our estimated costs had increased and we recognized an additional charge of $2.5 million in the six month and three month periods ended April 30, 2016. As of April 30, 2017, we recognized cumulative charges of approximately $171.8 million for water intrusion claims; the estimated aggregate cost of these claims is $324.4 million , of which we expect to recover approximately $152.6 million from outside insurance carriers and suppliers.

At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , our estimated remaining liability to be expended for the aforementioned known and unknown stucco and other water intrusion claims was $282.8 million and $298.0 million , respectively, of which we expect to recover a total of approximately $130.4 million and $141.7 million , respectively, from outside insurance carriers and others.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of the changes in our warranty accrual (amounts in thousands):

7. Income Taxes

We recorded income tax provisions of $113.9 million and $95.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The effective tax rate was 36.9% for the six months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 . For the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 , we recorded an income tax provision of $74.6 million and $51.3 million , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2017 was 37.4% , compared to 36.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2016 . The income tax provisions for all periods included the provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, offset by tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences.

We currently operate in 20 states and are subject to various state tax jurisdictions. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities' regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. We estimate our rate for the full fiscal year 2017 for state income taxes will be 7.5% . Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2016 was 7.0% .

For state tax purposes, due to past and projected losses in certain jurisdictions where we do not have carryback potential and/or cannot sufficiently forecast future taxable income, we recognized net cumulative valuation allowances against our state deferred tax assets of $32.4 million and $32.2 million as of April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , respectively.

At April 30, 2017 , we had $26.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change. The possible changes would be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.

8. Stock-Based Benefit Plans

We grant stock options and various types of restricted stock units to our employees and our nonemployee directors. Additionally, we have an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase our stock at a discount.

Information regarding the amount of total stock-based compensation expense and tax benefit recognized by us, for the periods indicated, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016 , the aggregate unamortized value of outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $37.2 million and $27.0 million , respectively.

9. Stock Repurchase Program and Cash Dividend

On May 23, 2016, our Board of Directors terminated a prior share repurchase program and authorized, under a new repurchase program, the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company's equity award and other employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, information about our share repurchase programs:

On February 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders. The first quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share was paid on April 28, 2017 to shareholders of record on the close of business on

April 14, 2017.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

In April 2017, the SEC informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information relating to our estimated repair costs for stucco and other water intrusion claims in fiscal 2016. As previously described in our 2016 Form 10-K, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, our estimated liability for these water intrusion claims increased significantly. The Company will produce documents and information in response to this request. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At April 30, 2017 , we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 3, "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities," for more information regarding our commitments to these entities.

Land Purchase Commitments

Generally, our purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate a purchase agreement. Information regarding our land purchase commitments, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 3,600 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.

At April 30, 2017 , we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $104.0 million , of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $4.7 million .

We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

At April 30, 2017 , we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $685.5 million , primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that $347.9 million of work remains on these improvements. We have an additional $138.6 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.

At April 30, 2017 , we had outstanding letters of credit of $120.0 million under our New Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued to secure our various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
