The senior management of Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (the “Company”) is presently actively working with its bank lenders to obtain a maturity extension of its Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement that currently matures on December 20, 2009 (the “Credit Facility”) and certain longer-term modifications to borrowing base availability and other covenants prior to approximately October 31, 2009.  Given senior management’s focus on that process as well as constraints on other available personnel and resources, the Company was not able to complete its financial statements within the proscribed time.  Further, the ultimate resolution of the Company’s negotiations with it lending group with respect to the terms and conditions of the maturity extension and other modifications, or of an alternative financing arrangement or an amendment to and extension of it Credit Facility, could materially impact the Company’s financial statements, further impacting the Company’s ability to prepare its financial statements within the proscribed time.

The Company continues to work constructively with its lenders to obtain such a credit facility maturity extension and other modifications, and it currently remains hopeful a credit facility maturity extension and other modifications can be obtained.  However, the Company can offer no assurance that it will be able to obtain such a credit facility maturity extension or other modifications at all or on acceptable terms, or obtain alternative financing in the event it does not obtain such a Credit Facility maturity extension and other necessary modifications.  For additional discussion of the Company’s liquidity, including a discussion of the scheduled December 20, 2009 maturity date of the Credit Facility, please refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2009, as well as the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2009.

In the interim period prior to completion of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company intends to issue within the next several business days certain limited information with respect to the fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year revenue, orders, backlog, debt and liquidity levels.

The Company believes that without a Credit Facility maturity extension and other necessary modifications, or securing alternative financing in the event it does not obtain such a Credit Facility maturity extension and other necessary modifications, the Company’s external auditors will issue a unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph on the Company’s financial statements as there would be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
