Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On April 8, 2005, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tradition Development Company, LLC (“Tradition”), Horizons St. Lucie Development, LLC (“Horizons”), Horizons Acquisition 7, LLC (“Horizons Acquisition”) and Tradition Mortgage, LLC (“Tradition Mortgage”), entered into a $40 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”). Core Communities, LLC, the parent of Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisition and Tradition Mortgage and our wholly-owned subsidiary, has guaranteed the Facility. Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisition and Tradition Mortgage may borrow under the Facility for any general limited liability company purposes including, without limitation (i) their acquisition and/or development of real property located in St. Lucie County, Florida, and (ii) Wachovia’s issuance of letters of credit in favor of governmental authorities to serve as performance bonds in connection with any such development. The Facility is secured by, among other things: (i) a mortgage on certain real property in St. Lucie County, Florida (the “Property”) owned by Tradition, (ii) an assignment of warranties and other contractual rights for the benefit of Tradition in connection with the Property, and (iii) an assignment of Tradition’s rights in connection with certain leases and rents in connection with the Property. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either (i) Wachovia’s Prime Rate less twenty-five basis points or (ii) Wachovia’s LIBOR Market Index Rate plus two hundred fifty basis points. Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisition and Tradition Mortgage may select the applicable interest rate at their option. Accrued interest is due and payable monthly in arrears commencing on the third day of each month . All outstanding principal shall be due and payable on April 8, 2007; provided, however, that if certain conditions are satisfied, Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisition and Tradition Mortgage may, at their option, extend the Facility’s term for one additional year to April 8, 2008. Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisitions and Tradition Mortgage may make draws on the Facility through its maturity date. At the closing, Tradition, Horizons, Horizons Acquisition and Tradition Mortgage paid Wachovia a commitment fee in the amount of $250,000 in connection with the Facility.

     The Facility documents include customary conditions to funding, acceleration provisions and certain financial, affirmative and negative covenants.
