"Thanks to the tremendous effort of many we were able to begin delivering units at the Eclipse during the fourth quarter," said Christopher Clemente, Chairman and Chief Executive. "We believe that the low number of cancellations experienced at the Eclipse is the result of sophisticated consumers recognizing the inherent value of owning a home in such a unique development. We exceeded the goal I set in our last conference call of delivering at least 100 units by year end and believe the development is on track to meet our objectives for 2007."
