UPDATE 1-Beazer Homes posts quarterly loss after charges

(Reuters) - For the third quarter ended June 30, Beazer posted a net
loss of $123.0 million, or $3.20 per share, compared with a
year-earlier profit of $102.6 million, or $2.37 per share.




The company said the latest quarter's results included
charges of $188.5 million. A substantial portion of the charges
relate to the write-down of the value of operations in Northern
California, Nevada and Florida, where housing demand has seen a
steep decline as lending requirements tighten and the number of
homes on the market have soared.
