Our third-quarter sales results are marginally higher than the previous quarter. Our western division moved their numbers from 8,000 units to 9,100 units. The southern division's production fell a bit from 2,300 units in the second quarter to 1,900 units in this quarter but that was offset by the surge in sales of the eastern division. They moved 4,000 more units this quarter than last.
