Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. Issues Guidance for Q4 2005
The Company also reported that its board of directors has authorized a one
million share buyback program to be administered by management. No shares have
been redeemed to date under this authorization.
In addition, the Company reported that it has begun planning an expansion
in certain markets outside its core market of Washington DC.
"We have accomplished a great deal in our first year as a public company,"
said Christopher Clemente, Chairman and CEO. "Our achievements in 2005 will
surpass our initial expectations for the year and position Comstock for
tremendous additional growth in 2006 and beyond. Our backlog of sales remains
very strong and will provide a solid foundation for organic growth during 2006
and 2007 in our core markets, while our access to capital will enable Comstock
to generate additional growth through expansion into other strong housing
markets. We have several initiatives in process and will be outlining our
expansion plans further in the first quarter. We will stay true to our
strategy of providing a diverse selection of affordably priced products in all
of our operations because we believe it minimizes the impact of shifting
market conditions."
