About S&P Credit Research

Abstract: We expect for-sale housing market conditions to remain very challenging at least through 2009. In our view, Ryland has sound balance sheet management, including sufficient liquidity that is currently supported by a meaningful cash position. We are affirming our 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Ryland. The negative outlook reflects our expectation that Ryland's operations and credit ratios will remain very weak due to current oversupply conditions that are suppressing unit volumes and pricing. On June 15, 2009, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' corporate credit and senior unsecured note ratings on The Ryland Group Inc. The outlook remains negative. Our '4' recovery rating on the company's senior unsecured notes remains unchanged, indicating our expectation for average recovery (30%-50%)
