Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate to matters of strictly historical or factual nature and generally discuss or relate to estimates or other expectations regarding future events. They contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “should” and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries; financial resources and condition; changes in revenues; changes in profitability; changes in margins; changes in accounting treatment; cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; interest expense; inventory write-downs; anticipated tax refunds; sales paces; effects of home buyer cancellations; growth and expansion; joint ventures in which we are involved; anticipated income or benefits to be realized from our investments in unconsolidated entities; the ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the ability to gain approvals and to open new communities; the ability to sell homes and properties; the ability to deliver homes from backlog; the ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; legal proceedings and claims.

From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our Form 10-K and other periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in press releases, in presentations, on our web site and in other materials released to the public. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These include risks and uncertainties such as: local, regional, national and international economic conditions including current economic uncertainties in the U.S. and global credit and financial markets; domestic and international political events; uncertainties created by catastrophes and terrorist attacks; effects of governmental legislation and regulation; the competitive environment in which we operate; changes in consumer confidence; changes in interest rates; unemployment rates; demand for homes; changes in sales conditions, including home prices, and foreclosure rates and sales activity in our markets; the availability and cost of land for future growth; conditions that could result in inventory write-downs or write-downs associated with investments in unconsolidated entities; the ability to recover our deferred tax assets; the availability of capital; uncertainties in the capital and securities markets; liquidity in the credit markets; changes in tax laws and their interpretation; the outcome of various legal proceedings; the availability of adequate insurance at reasonable cost; the impact of construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims, including the adequacy of self-insurance accruals, the applicability and sufficiency of our insurance coverage and the insurance coverage and ability to pay of other responsible parties relating to such claims; the ability of customers to obtain adequate and affordable financing for the purchase of homes; the ability of home buyers to sell their existing homes; the ability of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; the availability and cost of labor and building and construction materials; the cost of raw materials; construction delays; and weather conditions.

The factors mentioned in this report or in other reports or public statements made by us will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements. If one or more of the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. This statement is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Additional information concerning potential factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

When this report uses the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” they refer to Toll Brothers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. Reference herein to “fiscal 2010,” “fiscal 2009,” and “fiscal 2008” refer to our fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, and our fiscal years ended October 31, 2009, and October 31, 2008, respectively.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. On August 25, 2010, we issued a press release and held a conference call to review the results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and to discuss the current state of our business. The information contained in this report is the same information given in the press release and on the conference call on August 25, 2010, and we are not reconfirming or updating that information in this Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 the Company has effective control of the entity, in which case the entity is consolidated.

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, 2009 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from the Company’s October 31, 2009 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, the Company suggests that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. 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 the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at cost unless an impairment exists, in which case it is written down to fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). In addition to direct land acquisition costs, land development costs and home construction costs, costs also include interest, real estate taxes and direct overhead related to development and construction, which are capitalized to inventory during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. For those communities that have been temporarily closed, no additional interest is allocated to a community’s inventory until it re-opens. While the community remains closed, carrying costs such as real estate taxes are expensed as incurred. Once a parcel of land has been approved for development and the Company opens one of its typical communities, it may take four to five years to fully develop, sell and deliver all the homes in such community. Longer or shorter time periods are possible depending on the number of home sites in a community and the sales and delivery pace of the homes in a community. The Company’s master planned communities, consisting of several smaller communities, may take up to ten years or more to complete. Because of the downturn in the Company’s business, the aforementioned estimated community lives could be significantly longer. Because the Company’s inventory is considered a long-lived asset under GAAP, it is required, under ASC 360, to regularly review the carrying value of each community and write down the value of those communities for which it believes the values are not recoverable.

Current Communities: When the profitability of a current community deteriorates, the sales pace declines significantly or some other factor indicates a possible impairment in the recoverability of the asset, the asset is reviewed for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flow for the community to its carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flow is less than the community’s carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. The impairment is charged to cost of revenues in the period in which the impairment is determined. In estimating the future undiscounted cash flow of a community, the Company uses various estimates such as: (a) the expected sales pace in a community, based upon general economic conditions that will have a short-term or long-term impact on the market in which the community is located and on competition within the market, including the number of home sites available and pricing and incentives being offered in other communities owned by the Company or by other builders; (b) the expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered in a community; (c) costs expended to date and expected to be incurred in the future, including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction costs, interest costs and overhead costs; (d) alternative product offerings that may be offered in a community that will have an impact on sales pace, sales price, building cost or the number of homes that can be built on a particular site; and (e) alternative uses for the property such as the possibility of a sale of the entire community to another builder or the sale of individual home sites.

Future Communities: The Company evaluates all land held for future communities or future sections of current communities, whether owned or under contract, to determine whether or not it expects to proceed with the development of the land as originally contemplated. This evaluation encompasses the same types of estimates used for current communities described above, as well as an evaluation of the regulatory environment in which the land is located and the estimated probability of obtaining the necessary approvals, the estimated time and cost it will take to obtain the approvals and the possible concessions that will be required to be given in order to obtain them. Concessions may include cash payments to fund improvements to public places such as parks and streets, dedication of a portion of the property for use by the public or as open space or a reduction in the density or size of the homes to be built. Based upon this review, the Company decides (a) as to land under contract to be purchased, whether the contract will likely be terminated or renegotiated, and (b) as to land owned, whether the land will likely be developed as contemplated or in an alternative manner, or should be sold. The Company then further determines whether costs that have been capitalized to the community are recoverable or should be written off. The write-off is charged to cost of revenues in the period in which the need for the write-off is determined.

The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of both current and future communities are based on factors known to the Company at the time such estimates are made and its expectations of future operations and economic conditions. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated fair value deteriorate in the future, the Company may be required to recognize additional impairment charges and write-offs related to current and future communities.

Variable Interest Entities: The Company has a significant number of land purchase contracts and several investments in unconsolidated entities which it evaluates in accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). Pursuant to ASC 810, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is considered to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity investment or in which the equity investors lack some of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For land purchase contracts with sellers meeting the definition of a VIE, the Company performs a review to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This review requires substantial judgment and estimation. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of the land under contract.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” as codified in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. ASC 820 also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The Company adopted ASC 820 with respect to financial instruments effective for its fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. See Note 10, “Fair Value Disclosures,” for information concerning the adoption of ASC 820. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”) (codified in ASC 820) which delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP 157-2 applies to, but is not limited to, long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at fair value for an impairment assessment (i.e., inventory impairment assessments). FSP 157-2 deferred the effective date of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for the Company to November 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820 related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment to ARB No. 51,” as codified in ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). Under the provisions of ASC 810, a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, or minority interest, must be classified as equity and the amount of consolidated net income (loss) specifically attributable to the minority interest must be clearly identified in the consolidated statement of operations. ASC 810 also requires consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling interest retained in a deconsolidation. ASC 810 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” as codified in ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. ASC 260 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 260 did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported earnings per share.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), as codified in ASC 860, “Transfers and Serving” (“ASC 860”). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is applicable for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods therein and thereafter. SFAS 166 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 166 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) codified in ASC 810. SFAS 167 eliminates FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)’s exceptions to consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contains new criteria for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. SFAS 167 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 167 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-5, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” (“ASU 2009-5”), which amends ASC 820 to provide additional guidance to clarify the measurement of liabilities at fair value in the absence of observable market information. The Company adopted ASU 2009-5 as of November 1, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, “Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-6”), which amends ASC 820 to increase disclosure requirements regarding recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-6 as of February 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about Level 3 fair value disclosures which will be effective for the Company on November 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company has a 67% interest in an entity that is developing land. The financial statements of this entity are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The amount shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet under “Noncontrolling interest” represents the noncontrolling interest attributable to the 33% minority interest not owned by the Company.

Reclassification

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company has reclassified the minority interest in a consolidated entity to stockholders’ equity.

Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2010 presentation.

2. Inventory

Inventory at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

		July 31,				October 31,
		2010				2009
Land controlled for future communities		$	30,557			$	60,611
Land owned for future communities			1,012,507				775,083
Operating communities			2,213,517				2,347,872
		$	3,256,581			$	3,183,566

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 twelve months of the end of the fiscal year being reported on, and communities preparing to open for sale. Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions that do not have any remaining backlog and are not expected to reopen within twelve months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities. At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Company included $78.0 million (14 communities) and $91.5 million (16 communities), respectively, of inventory related to temporarily closed communities in operating communities and $218.4 million (40 communities) and $75.9 million (16 communities), respectively, of inventory related to temporarily closed communities in land owned for future communities.

The 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.

During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2010, the Company reclassified $18.7 million of inventory related to two non-equity golf course facilities to property, construction and office equipment. The $18.7 million was reclassified due to the completion of construction of the facilities and the substantial completion of the master planned communities of which the golf facilities are a part.

The Company provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that it believed not to be recoverable in the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands).

		Nine months ended July 31,								Three months ended July 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Land controlled for future communities		$	2,250			$	24,364			$	58			$	14,272
Land owned for future communities			41,600				133,033				5,850				48,583
Operating communities			44,370				222,531				6,600				46,821
		$	88,220			$	379,928			$	12,508			$	109,676

The Company reviews the profitability of each of its operating communities during each fiscal quarter. For those communities operating below certain profitability thresholds, or where other negative factors, such as a decline in market or economic conditions in the market where the community is located, high cancellation rates or a significant increase in speculative inventory in the community or in the market in general, exist, and the undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying value, the Company determines the estimated fair value of those communities and adjusts the carrying value of the communities to their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 360.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, the number of operating communities that the Company tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities for which the Company recognized impairment charges and the amount of impairment charges recognized, and, as of the end of the period indicated, the fair value of those communities, net of impairment charges ($ amounts in millions).

						Impaired Operating Communities

At July 31, 2010, the Company evaluated its land purchase contracts to determine if any of the selling entities were variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if they were, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, the Company does not possess legal title to the land and its risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers; the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against the Company. At July 31, 2010, the Company determined that 31 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $259.1 million, on which it had made aggregate deposits totaling $12.2 million, were VIEs, and that it was not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to its land purchase contracts.

The Company capitalizes certain interest costs to qualified inventory during the communities’ development and construction periods in accordance with ASC 835-20, “Capitalization of Interest Costs” (“ASC 835-20”). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of revenues when the related inventory is delivered. Interest incurred on homebuilding indebtedness in excess of qualified inventory, as defined in ASC 835-20, is charged directly to the statements of operations in the period incurred. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company expensed interest of $18.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, directly to the statements of operations. In the nine-month period ended July 31, 2009, the Company expensed interest of $1.8 million directly to the statement of operations. During the three-month period ended July 31, 2009, the Company reviewed the methodology it applied in identifying qualified inventory used in the calculation of capitalized interest, and determined that the amount of qualified inventory was higher than the Company had previously identified and that the interest previously expensed directly to the statements of operations in the six-month and three-month period ended April 30, 2009 should have been capitalized. As a result of this review, the Company reversed $4.6 million of previously directly expensed interest, thereby reducing directly expensed interest by $4.6 million in the three-month period ended July 31, 2009.

Interest incurred, capitalized and expensed for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

		Nine months ended July 31,								Three months ended July 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Interest capitalized, beginning of period		$	259,818			$	238,832			$	271,509			$	258,031
Interest incurred			87,740				87,527				28,879				31,236
Interest expensed to cost of revenues			(55,411	)			(55,138	)			(23,033	)			(23,403	)
Interest directly expensed to statement of operations			(18,588	)			(1,792	)			(5,124	)			3,453
Write-off against other income			(1,786	)			(1,729	)			(977	)			(1,617	)
Interest reclassified to property, construction and office equipment			(519	)
Interest capitalized, end of period		$	271,254			$	267,700			$	271,254			$	267,700

Inventory impairment charges are recognized against all inventory costs of a community, such as land, land improvements, cost of home construction and capitalized interest. The amounts included in the table directly above reflect the gross amount of capitalized interest without allocation of any impairment charges recognized. The Company estimates that, had inventory impairment charges been allocated on a pro rata basis to the individual components of inventory, capitalized interest at July 31, 2010 and 2009 would have been reduced by approximately $58.9 million and $60.5 million, respectively.

3. Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities

Development Joint Ventures

The Company has investments in, and advances to, a number of joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop land (“Development Joint Ventures”). Some of these Development Joint Ventures develop land for the sole use of the venture participants, including the Company, and others develop land for sale to the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. The Company recognizes its share of earnings from the sale of home sites by Development Joint Ventures to other builders. With regard to home sites the Company purchases from the Development Joint Ventures, the Company reduces its cost basis in those home sites by its share of the earnings on the home sites. At July 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $60.1 million, net of impairment charges, invested in or advanced to Development Joint Ventures. In addition, the Company has a funding commitment of $3.5 million to one Development Joint Venture, should an additional investment in that venture be required.

As of July 31, 2010, the Company had recognized cumulative impairment charges in connection with its current Development Joint Ventures of $178.9 million. These impairment charges are attributable to investments in certain Development Joint Ventures that the Company did not believe were fully recoverable. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges in connection with its Development Joint Ventures during the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010. The Company recognized a $5.3 million impairment charge in connection with one of its Development Joint Ventures during the three-month period ended July 31, 2009.

At July 31, 2010, the Development Joint Ventures had aggregate loan commitments of $636.6 million and had approximately $633.7 million borrowed against these commitments, net of amounts related to the foreclosure discussed below. These loans are non-recourse to the Company; however, with respect to loans obtained by some of the Development Joint Ventures, the Company executed completion guarantees and conditional repayment guarantees. The obligations under such completion guarantees and conditional repayment guarantees are several and not joint, and are limited to the Company’s pro-rata share of the loan obligations of each such respective Development Joint Venture. The Company estimates that, at July 31, 2010, the maximum liability, if any, under such completion guarantees and conditional repayment guarantees, including such completion guarantees and conditional repayment guarantees that are the subject of the litigation matters described below (net of amounts that the Company has accrued), is approximately $50.3 million.

In October 2008, the lending syndicate for one of the Development Joint Ventures completed a foreclosure on the land owned by that Development Joint Venture and filed a lawsuit against its members, including the parent companies of the members, seeking to recover damages under the completion guarantees. As noted above, each of the completion guarantees delivered by the members of that Development Joint Venture is several and not joint, therefore, the liability of the Company is limited to the Company’s pro-rata share of damages, if any, awarded under such completion guarantees. In December 2008, the lending syndicate for another Development Joint Venture filed separate lawsuits against the members of the Development Joint Venture and their parent companies, seeking to recover damages under the completion guarantees and damages allegedly caused by the venture’s failure to repay the lenders. The Company does not believe that these alleged Development Joint Venture defaults and related lawsuits will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Planned Community Joint Venture

The Company is a participant in a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a single master planned community (the “Planned Community Joint Venture”). At July 31, 2010, the Company had an investment of $49.7 million in the Planned Community Joint Venture. At July 31, 2010, each participant had agreed to contribute additional funds up to $10.5 million if required. If a participant fails to make a required capital contribution, the other participant may make the additional contribution and diminish the non-contributing participant’s ownership interest.

Condominium Joint Ventures

At July 31, 2010, the Company had an aggregate of $43.4 million of investments in four joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury condominium projects, including for-sale residential units and commercial space (“Condominium Joint Ventures”). At July 31, 2010, the Condominium Joint Ventures had aggregate loan commitments of $260.6 million, against which approximately $234.1 million had been borrowed. At July 31, 2010, the Company had guaranteed $10.0 million of the loans and other liabilities of these Condominium Joint Ventures.

As of July 31, 2010, the Company had recognized cumulative impairment charges against its investments in the Condominium Joint Ventures and its pro-rata share of impairment charges recognized by these Condominium Joint Ventures in the amount of $63.9 million. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges in connection with its Condominium Joint Ventures during the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 or the three-month period ended July 31, 2009; however; it recognized a $6.0 million impairment charge in connection with one of its Condominium Joint Ventures during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2009. At July 31, 2010, the Company did not have any commitments to make contributions to any Condominium Joint Venture in excess of those that the Company already has accrued.

Structured Asset Joint Venture

In July 2010, the Company invested $29.1 million in a joint venture in which it is a 20% participant with two unrelated parties to purchase a 40% interest in an entity that owns and controls a portfolio of loans and real estate. At July 31, 2010, the Company did not have any commitments to make additional contributions to the joint venture and has not guaranteed any of the joint ventures liabilities. If the joint venture needs additional capital and a participant fails to make a requested capital contribution, the other participant may make a contribution in consideration for a preferred return or may make the additional capital contribution and diminish the non-contributing participant’s ownership interest.

Trust and Trust II

In fiscal 2005, the Company, together with the Pennsylvania State Employees Retirement System (“PASERS”), formed Toll Brothers Realty Trust II (“Trust II”) to be in a position to take advantage of commercial real estate opportunities. Trust II is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by an affiliate of PASERS. At July 31, 2010, the Company had an investment of $11.2 million in Trust II. Prior to the formation of Trust II, the Company used Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the “Trust”) to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by the Company; one-third by Robert I. Toll, Bruce E. Toll (and members of his family), Zvi Barzilay (and members of his family), Joel H. Rassman, Douglas C. Yearley, Jr. and a former member of the Company’s senior management; and one-third by an affiliate of PASERS (collectively, the “Shareholders”). As of July 31, 2010, the Company has received distributions from the Trust that resulted in reducing its investment in the Trust to zero. The Company provides development, finance and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amount of $1.6 million in each of the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 and $0.6 million and $0.5 million in the three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company believes that the transactions agreed upon between itself and the Trust were on terms no less favorable than it would have agreed to with unrelated parties.

General

At July 31, 2010, the Company had accrued $99.3 million of its aggregate exposure with respect to Development Joint Ventures, the Planned Community Joint Venture, Condominium Joint Ventures, the Trust and Trust II. The Company’s investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recognized $11.3 million and $5.3 million of impairment charges related to its investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities in the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2009. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities in the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010. Impairment charges related to these entities are included in “Income (loss) from unconsolidated entities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

		July 31,				October 31,
		2010				2009
Land, land development and construction		$	103,810			$	132,890

Changes in the warranty accrual for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

		Nine months ended								Three months ended
		July 31,								July 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009

Balance, end of period		$	49,541			$	53,437			$	49,541			$	53,437

5. Employee Retirement Plans

The Company has two unfunded supplemental retirement plans for certain employees. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2010, six additional employees were added to the plans and one eligible employee’s benefits were increased. As a result of these changes, the projected benefit obligations and unamortized past service costs of the plans each increased by approximately $1.8 million.

For the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized costs and made payments related to its supplemental retirement plans as follows (amounts in thousands):

		Nine months ended July 31,								Three months ended July 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Service cost		$	182			$	99			$	60			$	33

6. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows ($ amounts in thousands):

		Nine months ended July 31,																Three months ended July 31,
		2010								2009								2010								2009
		$				%				$				%				$				%				$				%
Federal tax (benefit) provision at statutory rate		$	(37,701	)			(35.0	)		$	(136,405	)			(35.0	)		$	289				35.0			$	(38,942	)			(35.0	)
State taxes net of federal benefit			(3,501	)			(3.3	)			(11,400	)			(2.9	)			(948	)			(114.9	)			(3,978	)			(3.6	)
Reversal of tax provisions due to expiration of statutes and settlements			(40,460	)			(37.6	)			(59,150	)			(15.2	)			(40,460	)			(4904.3	)			(44,150	)			(39.7	)
Accrued interest on anticipated tax assessments			966				0.9				6,828				1.8				(1,797	)			(217.8	)			(29	)
Valuation allowance — recognized			52,423				48.7				443,680				113.8				17,408				2110.1				416,760				374.6
Valuation allowance — reversed			(37,736	)			(35.0	)											(13,685	)			(1658.8	)			22,638				20.3
Increase in unrecognized tax benefit			13,000				12.1				11,500				2.9				13,000				1575.8				11,500				10.3
Other			(858	)			(0.8	)			(391	)			(0.1	)			(286	)			(34.7	)			(2,732	)			(2.4	)
Tax (benefit) provision		$	(53,867	)			(50.0	)		$	254,662				65.3			$	(26,479	)			(3209.6	)		$	361,067				324.5

The valuation allowances recognized in the fiscal 2010 periods relate to deferred tax assets established in those periods. The deferred tax assets established in the fiscal 2010 periods relate primarily to impairment charges and state tax benefits recognized in those periods. The valuation allowances reversed in the fiscal 2010 periods represent the reversal of prior year valuation allowances recognized on deferred tax assets that were recorded as expenses for book purposes in prior years and which we expect to recover as tax refunds when the Company files its 2010 tax returns. The valuation allowances recognized in the fiscal 2009 periods relate to state tax benefits recognized in those periods.

During the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized in its tax (benefit) provision, before reduction for applicable taxes, potential interest and penalties of approximately $1.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively. During the three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not recognize any potential interest and penalties in its tax (benefit) provision. At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Company had accrued potential interest and penalties, before reduction of applicable taxes, of $29.2 million and $39.8 million, respectively. These amounts, after reduction of applicable taxes, were included in “Income taxes payable” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decline in the interest and penalties recognized is due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and the completion of various tax audits since October 31, 2009.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Income taxes payable” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If these unrecognized tax benefits reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on the Company’s effective tax rate at that time. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change. The anticipated changes will 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.

A reconciliation of the change in the gross unrecognized tax benefits for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

		Nine months ended July 31,								Three months ended July 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Balance, beginning of period		$	171,366			$	320,679			$	177,116			$	297,216
Increase in benefit as a result of tax positions taken in prior years			4,250				11,000
Increase in benefit as a result of tax positions taken in current year			1,586				6,000				86				2,000
Decrease in benefit as a result of settlements			(8,793	)			(138,329	)			(8,793	)			(124,866	)
Decrease in benefit as a result of lapse of statute of limitation			(32,053	)			(41,500	)			(32,053	)			(16,500	)
Balance, end of period		$	136,356			$	157,850			$	136,356			$	157,850

The Company recorded significant deferred tax assets in fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009 and the first nine-months of fiscal 2010. These deferred tax assets were generated primarily by inventory impairments and impairments of investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities. The Company has assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established based on its determination of whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes that the continued downturn in the housing market, the uncertainty as to its length and the Company’s continued recognition of impairment charges are significant negative evidence of the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, we had recorded valuation allowances against our entire net deferred tax assets of $503.7 million and $482.3 million, respectively.

The Company intends to carry back its fiscal 2010 tax losses against taxable income it reported for federal income tax purposes in its fiscal 2005 and 2006 tax years. At July 31, 2010, the Company has reflected $49.7 million of potential refund of the expected fiscal 2010 tax loss carryback in “Income tax refund recoverable” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is allowed to carry forward tax losses for 20 years and apply such tax losses to future taxable income to realize federal deferred tax assets. As of July 31, 2010, the Company estimated that it did not have any federal tax losses to carry forward. In addition, the Company will be able to reverse its previously recognized valuation allowances during any future period for which it reports book income before income taxes. The Company will continue to review its deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP.

For state tax purposes, due to past and projected losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company does not have carryback potential and/or cannot sufficiently forecast future taxable income, the Company has recognized cumulative valuation allowances of $34.6 million as of July 31, 2010 against its net state deferred tax assets. In the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized valuation allowances against its state deferred tax assets of $5.4 million ($3.5 million, net of federal benefit) and $41.4 million ($26.9 million, net of federal benefit), respectively. In the three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized valuation allowances against its state deferred tax assets of $41,000 ($27,000, net of federal benefit) and $34.8 million ($22.6 million, net of federal benefit), respectively. Future valuation allowances in these jurisdictions may continue to be recognized if the Company believes it will not generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize any future state deferred tax assets.

7. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Total Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and was primarily related to employee retirement plans.

The components of other comprehensive loss in the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

The Company has repurchased, and may from time to time in the future repurchase, its senior notes in the open market or otherwise. In the three-month period ended July 31, 2010, we purchased $35.5 million of our senior notes in open market purchases at various prices. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company expensed $0.7 million related to the premium/loss paid and other debt redemption costs.

On December 1, 2009, the Company redeemed the remaining $47.9 million outstanding principal amount of its Toll Corp. 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 2011 at a cash redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on December 1, 2009.

9. Stock-Based Benefit Plans

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The lattice-based option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, which are disclosed in the table below. Expected volatilities were based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The expected lives of options granted were derived from the historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average assumptions and the fair value used for stock option grants for the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

		2010				2009
Expected volatility			46.74% – 51.41%				46.74% – 50.36%
Weighted-average volatility			49.51%				48.06%
Risk-free interest rate			2.15% – 3.47%				1.24% – 1.90%
Expected life (years)			4.44 – 8.69				4.29 – 8.52
Dividends		none				none
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted		$ 7.63				$ 8.60

In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company recognized $7.7 million and $1.4 million of stock compensation expense, respectively, and $2.7 million and $0.5 million of income tax benefit related to stock option grants, respectively. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2009, the Company recognized $9.3 million and $1.8 million of stock compensation expense, respectively, and $3.7 million and $0.7 million of income tax benefit related to stock option grants, respectively. The Company expects to recognize approximately $9.1 million of stock compensation expense and $3.2 million of income tax benefit in fiscal 2010 related to stock option grants. The Company recognized $10.6 million of stock compensation expense and $4.2 million of income tax benefit in fiscal 2009 related to stock option grants.

In December 2009, the Company issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) relating to 19,663 shares of the Company’s common stock to seven employees with an aggregate fair value of $361,000. These RSUs will vest in annual installments over a four-year period. The value of the RSUs were determined to be equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued pursuant to the RSUs, multiplied by $18.38, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on December 21, 2009, the date the RSUs were awarded. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company recognized $55,000 and $23,000, respectively, of expense related to the RSUs. At July 31, 2010, the Company had $306,000 of unamortized value related to the RSUs.

On December 7, 2009, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the award of a performance-based restricted stock unit (“Performance-Based RSU”) relating to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Robert I. Toll. The Performance-Based RSU will vest and Mr. Toll will be entitled to receive the underlying shares if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE, measured over any twenty consecutive trading days ending on or prior to December 19, 2014, increases 30% or more over $18.38, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on December 21, 2009; provided Mr. Toll continues to be employed by the Company or serve as a member of its Board of Directors until December 19, 2012. The Performance-Based RSU will also vest if Mr. Toll dies, becomes disabled or the Company experiences a change of control prior to satisfaction of the aforementioned performance criteria. Using a lattice-based option pricing model and assuming an expected volatility of 49.92%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.43%, and an expected life of 3.0 years, the Company determined the aggregate value of the Performance-Based RSU to be $3.16 million.

In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company recognized $1,554,000 and $567,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units issued in fiscal 2010 and 2009. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2009, the Company recognized $742,000 and $304,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units issued in fiscal 2009. At July 31, 2010, the Company had $4.2 million of unamortized value related to performance-based restricted stock units to be amortized during its four fiscal years ending October 31, 2013.

10. Fair Value Disclosures

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 for its financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

Level 1:

Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

A summary of assets and (liabilities) at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 related to the Company’s financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is set forth below (amounts in thousands).

		Fair Value				Fair Value
Financial Instrument		Hierarchy				July 31, 2010				October 31, 2009
U.S. Treasury Securities		Level 1				$	185,760			$	101,176
U.S. Agency Securities		Level 1				$	20,015
Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale		Level 2				$	67,456			$	43,432
Forward Loan Commitments — Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale		Level 2				$	(827	)		$	(135	)
Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”)		Level 2				$	784			$	(117	)
Forward Loan Commitments — IRLCs		Level 2				$	(784	)		$	117

At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company determines the fair value of its mortgage loans held for sale and its forward loan commitments it has entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of its mortgage loans. The Company recognizes the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale as a gain or loss. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its forward loan commitment as a gain or loss. These gains and losses are included in interest and other income. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is calculated based upon the stated interest rate of each loan and is included in “interest and other”.

As of July 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments were greater than the aggregate cost by $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

As of July 31, 2009, the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale was approximately equal to the aggregate fair value.

IRLCs represent individual borrower agreements that commit the Company to lend at a specified price for a specified period as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. These commitments have varying degrees of interest rate risk. The Company utilizes best-efforts forward loan commitments (“Forward Commitments”) to hedge the interest risk of the IRLCs and residential mortgage loans held for sale. Forward Commitments represent contracts with third-party investors for the future delivery of loans whereby the Company agrees to make delivery at a specified future date at a specified price. The IRLCs and Forward Commitments are considered derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which requires derivative financial instruments to be recorded at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of such commitments based on the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and, in the case of IRLCs, the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC. To manage the risk of nonperformance of investors regarding the Forward Commitments, the Company assesses the credit worthiness of the investors on a periodic basis.

During the three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, April 30, 2010 and January 31, 2010, the Company recognized inventory impairment charges of $12.5 million, $41.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively. The fair value of the inventory, whose carrying value was adjusted in the three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, April 30, 2010 and January 31, 2010 was $40.1 million, $65.0 million and $82.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the aforementioned inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, “Inventory” for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology on determining fair value.

As of July 31, 2010, the amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value of marketable securities were $205.5 million, $258,000, $0 and $205.8 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2009, the amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value of marketable securities were $101.1 million, $56,000, $12,000, and $101.2 million, respectively. The remaining contractual maturities of marketable securities as of July 31, 2010 ranged from two months to fourteen months.

The book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

		July 31, 2010								October 31, 2009
						Estimated								Estimated

12. Stock Repurchase Program

In March 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of its common stock, par value $.01, from time to time, in open market transactions or otherwise, for the purpose of providing shares for its various employee benefit plans. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2010, the Company purchased 26,000 shares at an average price of $19.48 per share and 7,000 shares at an average purchase price of $18.89 per share, respectively. In the nine-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2009, the Company purchased 67,681 shares at an average price of $18.38 per share and 15,000 shares at an average purchase price of $18.24 per share, respectively. At July 31, 2010, the Company had authorization to repurchase approximately 11.8 million shares.

13. Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Increase in Authorized Share Capital

On March 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 17, 2010, which restricts certain transfers of the Company’s common stock in order to preserve the tax treatment of the Company’s net operating and unrealized tax losses. The Certificate of Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of the Company’s common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock, or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.

The Certificate of Amendment also includes an amendment, authorized by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 17, 2005, increasing the Company’s authorized shares from 201,000,000 shares to 415,000,000 shares consisting of two classes of stock. The Certificate of Amendment provides for 400,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $.01 par value, an increase from the 200,000,000 shares previously authorized, and 15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value, an increase from the 1,000,000 preferred shares previously authorized.

14. Shareholder Rights Plans

Shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were subject to two series of stock purchase rights described below, one adopted in June 2007 and a second which was adopted in June 2009 and expired in June 2010. The rights, which are exercisable only under certain conditions, entitle the holder, other than an acquiring person (and certain related parties of an acquiring person), as defined in the plan, to purchase common shares at prices specified in the rights agreements.

In June 2007, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (“2007 Rights Plan’). The rights issued pursuant to the 2007 Rights Plan will become exercisable upon the earlier of (i) ten days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. No rights were exercisable at July 31, 2010.

In June 2009, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “2009 Rights Plan”) to help preserve the value of the Company’s deferred tax assets, by reducing the risk of limitation of net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax benefits under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The rights were to expire on July 16, 2019 or earlier if (i) the Company’s Board of Directors determines the 2009 Rights Plan is no longer needed to preserve the deferred tax assets due to the implementation of legislative changes, (ii) the Board of Directors determines, at the beginning of a specified period, that no tax benefits may be carried forward, (iii) the 2009 Rights Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders by June 17, 2010, or (iv) certain other events occur as described in the 2009 Rights Plan. The 2009 Rights Plan was submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 17, 2010. The Company’s stockholders did not approve the 2009 Rights Plan and, therefore, it expired in accordance with its terms on June 17, 2010.

15. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business.

In January 2006, the Company received a request for information pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act from Region 3 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) concerning storm water discharge practices in connection with its homebuilding projects in the states that comprise EPA Region 3. The Company provided information to the EPA pursuant to the request. The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has now assumed responsibility for the oversight of this matter and has alleged that the Company has violated regulatory requirements applicable to storm water discharges and that it may seek injunctive relief and/or civil penalties. The Company is now engaged in settlement discussions with representatives from the DOJ and the EPA.

In April 2007, a securities class action suit was filed against Toll Brothers, Inc. and Robert I. Toll and Bruce E. Toll in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between December 9, 2004 and November 8, 2005. In August 2007, an amended complaint was filed adding additional directors and officers as defendants. The amended complaint filed on behalf of the purported class alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing various materially false and misleading statements that had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the Company’s stock. It further alleges that the individual defendants sold shares for substantial gains during the class period. The purported class is seeking compensatory damages, counsel fees, and expert costs. The parties reached a settlement agreement in principle in July, 2010, which is subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The entire settlement amount will be funded by the Company’s insurers.

In November 2008, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Chancery Court of Delaware by Milton Pfeiffer against Robert I. Toll, Zvi Barzilay, Joel H. Rassman, Bruce E. Toll, Paul E. Shapiro, Robert S. Blank, Carl B. Marbach, and Richard J. Braemer. The plaintiff purports to bring his claims on behalf of Toll Brothers, Inc. and alleges that the director and officer defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders with respect to the stock sales alleged in the securities class action discussed above, by selling while in possession of material inside information about the Company. The plaintiff seeks contribution and indemnification from the individual director and officer defendants for any liability found against the Company in the securities class action suit. In addition, again purportedly on the Company’s behalf, the plaintiff seeks disgorgement of the defendants’ profits from their stock sales.

On March 4, 2009, a second shareholder derivative action was brought by Olivero Martinez in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This case was brought against the eleven then-current members of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment during the period from February 2005 to November 2006. The complaint further alleges that certain of the defendants sold Company stock during this period while in possession of the allegedly non-public, material information about the role of speculative investors in the Company’s sales and plaintiff seeks disgorgement of profits from these sales. The complaint also asserts a claim for equitable indemnity for costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with defending the securities class action discussed above.

On April 1, 2009, a third shareholder derivative action was filed by William Hall, also in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against the eleven then-current members of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer. This Complaint is identical to the previous shareholder complaint filed in Philadelphia, PA and, on July 14, 2009, the two cases were consolidated. On April 30, 2010, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors and officers. The Company has also entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of its directors.

On December 9, 2009 and February 10, 2010, the Company was named as a defendant in three purported class action suits filed by homeowners relating to allegedly defective drywall manufactured in China. These suits are all pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana as part of In re: Chinese-Manufactured Drywall Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2047. The complaints also name as defendants other home builders, as well as other parties claimed to be involved in the manufacture, sale, importation, brokerage, distribution, and installation of the drywall. The plaintiffs claim that the drywall, which was installed by independent subcontractors in certain homes built by the Company, caused damage to certain items and building materials in the homes, as well as personal injuries. The complaints seek damages for, among other things, the costs of repairing the homes, diminution in value to the homes, replacement of certain personal property, and personal injuries. The Company has not yet responded to these suits. See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information regarding Chinese-made drywall in our homes.

Due to the high degree of judgment required in determining the amount of potential loss related to the various claims and litigation in which the Company is involved in, including those noted above, and the inherent variability in predicting future settlements and judicial decisions, the Company cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in excess of its accruals for these matters. The Company believes that adequate provision for resolution of all claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses and the disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity or on its financial condition.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Generally, the Company’s option and purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require the Company to purchase those land parcels, although the Company may, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when it terminates an option and purchase agreement. If market conditions are weak, approvals needed to develop the land are uncertain or other factors exist that make the purchase undesirable, the Company may not expect to acquire the land. Whether an option and purchase agreement is legally terminated or not, the Company reviews the amount recorded for the land parcel subject to the option and purchase agreement to determine if the amount is recoverable. While the Company may not have formally terminated the option and purchase agreements for those land parcels that it does not expect to acquire, it has written off any non-refundable deposits and costs previously capitalized to such land parcels in the periods that it determined such costs were not recoverable. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements, excluding parcels under option that the Company does not expect to acquire, was approximately $592.2 million (including $131.2 million of land to be acquired from unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments). Of the $592.2 million aggregate purchase price of land parcels subject to option and purchase agreements that the Company expects to acquire, at July 31, 2010, it had deposited $51.3 million on such parcels, was entitled to receive a credit for prior investments in unconsolidated entities of approximately $37.0 million and, if the Company acquired all of these land parcels, would be required to pay an additional $503.8 million. Of the additional $503.8 million the Company would be required to pay, it had recorded $77.8 million of this amount in accrued expenses at July 31, 2010. The Company has additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since it does not believe that it will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from the Company to terminate these contracts.

At July 31, 2010, the Company had investments in and advances to a number of unconsolidated entities, was 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 and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding the Company’s commitments to these entities.

At July 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $401.0 million, primarily related to its obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in the Company’s various communities. The Company estimates that $165.1 million of work remains on these improvements. The Company has an additional $69.6 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations of the Company. The Company does not believe it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.

At July 31, 2010, the Company had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 1,636 homes with an aggregate sales value of $939.4 million.

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides mortgage financing for a portion of the Company’s home closings. For those home buyers to whom the Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides mortgages, it determines whether the home buyer qualifies for the mortgage he or she is seeking based upon information provided by the home buyer and other sources. For those home buyers that qualify, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary provides the home buyer with a mortgage commitment that specifies the terms and conditions of a proposed mortgage loan based upon then-current market conditions. Prior to the actual closing of the home and funding of the mortgage, the home buyer will lock in an interest rate based upon the terms of the commitment. At the time of rate lock, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary agrees to sell the proposed mortgage loan to one of several outside recognized mortgage financing institutions (“investors”), which is willing to honor the terms and conditions, including interest rate, committed to the home buyer. The Company believes that these investors have adequate financial resources to honor their commitments to its mortgage subsidiary. At July 31, 2010, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary was committed to fund $510.3 million of mortgage loans. Of these commitments, $196.7 million are IRLCs. The Company’s mortgage subsidiary has commitments from investors to acquire all $196.7 million of these IRLCs and $64.4 million of its mortgage loans receivable. The Company’s home buyers have not “locked-in” the interest rate on the remaining $313.6 million.

As of July 31, 2010, the Company has confirmed the presence of defective Chinese-made drywall in a small number of its West Florida homes, which were delivered between May 2006 and January 2008. The anticipated cost of the remediation of these homes is included in the amounts that the Company previously accrued. The Company is inspecting homes, gathering information from its drywall subcontractors and suppliers, and continuing to investigate this issue. The Company believes that adequate provision for costs associated with the remediation of homes containing Chinese-made drywall has been made and that such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity or on its financial condition.

In fiscal 2009, the Subsidiary Issuer redeemed $105.1 million of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and $94.9 million of its 5.95% Senior Notes due 2013. The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest is guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by the Company and substantially all of the Company’s 100%-owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The Company’s non-home building subsidiaries and several of its home building subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee the debt. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to financial investors. Prior to the senior debt issuances, the Subsidiary Issuer did not have any operations.

Supplemental consolidating financial information of Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and the eliminations to arrive at Toll Brothers, Inc. on a consolidated basis is presented below (amounts in thousands $).
