Raymond J. Pacini, CEO of the Company, stated: "We are pleased that the
Wildlife Conservation Board approved the agreement. Using Proposition
50 funds to acquire the property achieves the Coastal Commission's goal of
preserving the lower bench as upland habitat. The only step left is for the
Commission to approve our application for 379 homes on the upper bench. We
believe that our plan for the upper bench complies with the Coastal Act and
remain hopeful that the Coastal Commission will approve our permit application
at its October hearing."

The Company is a residential land development and homebuilding company
operating in southern California. The Company's principal subsidiaries are
Signal Landmark and Hearthside Homes, Inc. Signal Landmark owns 208 acres on
the Bolsa Chica Mesa, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the Bolsa Chica
wetlands in Orange County, California. Hearthside Homes, Inc. has delivered
over 1,600 homes to families throughout southern California over the last nine
years.

Prohibition Against Becoming a 5% Stockholder and No Further Acquisitions by
Current 5% or Greater Stockholders

Unless the Company has previously consented in writing (i) no stockholder
holding less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock may acquire
additional shares of Common Stock in an amount that would take such holder to
5% or more; and (ii) no current 5% or greater stockholder may acquire any
additional shares. The foregoing prohibition is contained in the Company's
charter documents, in order to preserve the tax benefits of the Company's
$176 million of net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs"). All acquisitions of
the Company's Common Stock in violation of its charter prohibitions are null
and void, and the Company is empowered to effectively rescind such
acquisitions. The Company will not entertain requests for permission to
exceed the limitations on stock acquisitions in the foreseeable future,
because the Company's board of directors has determined that such acquisitions
could jeopardize the Company's ability to preserve and use its NOLs.
