The Company's primary subsidiaries are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                   Subsidiary                                         Nature of Business

</TABLE>

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries.  The accounting and reporting  policies of the Company conform
to generally  accepted  accounting  principles and general  practices within the
homebuilding  industry.  All significant  intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim presentation

The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company and are unaudited.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted   accounting   principles  have  been  omitted  from  the  accompanying
statements.  The Company's management believes the disclosures made are adequate
to make  the  information  presented  not  misleading.  However,  the  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflects the potential  dilution that could
occur if securities or other  contracts to issue common stock were  exercised or
converted  into common  stock or resulted in the  issuance of common  stock that
then shared in the earnings of the Company.

The following tables reconcile the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 respectively. <TABLE>

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999, increased by 34.2%, to $92.8
million,  from $69.2 million for the  comparable  period of 1998.  The number of
homes  closed by the Company  increased  by 25% to 414 homes in the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from 331 homes in the same period of 1998.

The average  selling  price of homes  closed in the three months ended March 31,
1999 was $224,232,  an increase of 7.3% from the $209,048  average selling price
in the comparable period of 1998.
New net sales contracts increased 18.1%, to 654 homes for the three months ended
March 31, 1999,  from 554 homes for the three  months ended March 31, 1998.  The
dollar amount of new net sales contracts increased 31.4%, to $152.8 million.

The Company was operating in 69 subdivisions  at March 31, 1999,  compared to 54
subdivisions  at March 31, 1998.  At March 31, 1999,  the  Company's  backlog of
sales contracts was 993 homes, a 22% increase over  comparable  figures at March
31, 1998.

Cost of sales  increased  by 35.7%,  to $78.3  million in the three months ended
March 31,  1999,  from  $57.7  million  in the  comparable  period of 1997.  The
increase  was  attributable  to the increase in  revenues.  As a  percentage  of
revenues, cost of sales for the quarter increased to 84.4% in 1999 from 83.5% in
1998.

Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased by 26.9%, to $10.3
million in the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  from $8.1  million in the
comparable  period of 1998. As a percentage of revenues,  SG&A expense decreased
slightly to 11.1% in 1999,  from 11.8% in 1998.  This increase was caused by the
expansion  into the new  markets  of  Nashville,  Tennessee  and  Charlotte  and
Greensboro,  North  Carolina as well as the  expansion  in the  Company's  Texas
markets as indicated by a 22%  increase in the  Company's  backlog at the end of
March 1999 versus March 1998.

Interest  expense amounted to $403,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $825,000 in the  comparable  period of 1998.  The Company  follows a
policy  of  capitalizing  interest  only  on  inventory  under  construction  or
development.  During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company
expensed a portion  of  incurred  interest  and other  financing  costs on those
completed homes held in inventory. This expense decreased due to the decrease in
the average  number of completed  homes held in inventory for the quarter ending
March 31, 1999.  Capitalized  interest and other financing costs are included in
cost of sales at the time of home closings.

The Company's  provision for income taxes  decreased as a percentage of earnings
before taxes to 36.9% for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  compared to
37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is attributable to
a state  income tax benefit for Adler.  Under a tax  allocation  agreement  with
PUSA,  the Company is required to  calculate  its federal  corporate  income tax
liability  as if it filed a separate  federal  income tax return for each period
and to pay PUSA the sum which would result from such  calculation if the Company
were  subject to federal  corporate  income tax and filed a separate tax return.
The  Company  recognized  federal  income tax expense  under the tax  allocation
agreement  amounting  to  $1,181,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1999
compared to $714,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1999, the Company had available  cash and cash  equivalents of $3.1
million.  Inventories  (including  finished homes and  construction in progress,
developed residential lots and other land) at March 31, 1999, increased by $25.3
million from $185.2 at December 31, 1998, due to a general  increase in business
activity and the expansion of  operations in the newer market areas.  Because of
the  increased  business  activity  and  expansion  of  operations  in the newer
markets,  the  Company's  ratio of  construction  loans payable to total capital
increased  to 61.8% at March 31,  1999,  from 56.0% at December  31,  1998.  The
equity to total  assets ratio  decreased  during the three  months,  to 34.1% at
March 31, 1999, from 36.7% at December 31, 1998.

The Company's  financing needs depend upon the results of its operations,  sales
volume, inventory levels, inventory turnover, and acquisitions.  The Company has
financed its  operations  through  borrowings  from financial  institutions  and
through funds from earnings.

At March 31, 1999, the Company had unused lines of credit for construction loans
totaling  approximately  $228.4  million of which $19.3  million is available to
draw down.

The Company's  growth  requires  significant  amounts of cash. It is anticipated
that future home  construction,  lot and land purchases and acquisitions will be
funded  through  internally  generated  funds  and  new and  existing  borrowing
relationships.  The Company continuously evaluates its capital structure and, in
the future,  may seek to further  increase  secured  debt and obtain  additional
equity  to  fund  ongoing  operations  as well as to  pursue  additional  growth
opportunities.

Except for ordinary expenditures for the construction of homes and, to a limited
extent,  the  acquisition of land and lots for development and sale of homes, at
March  31,  1999,   the  Company  had  no  material   commitments   for  capital
expenditures.


Seasonality and Quarterly Results

The homebuilding  industry is seasonal, as generally there are more sales in the
spring and summer  months,  resulting  in more home  closings  in the fall.  The
Company  operates in the  Southwestern  and  Southeastern  markets of the United
States, where weather conditions are more suitable to a year-round  construction
process than other areas. The Company also believes its geographic dispersion to
be somewhat  counter-cyclical,  with adverse economic conditions associated with
certain of its markets often being offset by more favorable economic  conditions
in other  areas.  The  seasonality  of school terms has an impact on the Company
operations,  but it is somewhat mitigated by the fact that many of the Company's
buyers at the higher end of the Company's price range, including Fedrick, Harris
custom homes,  no longer have children in school.  As a result of these factors,
among others,  the Company  generally  experiences  more sales in the spring and
summer  months,  and more  closings  in the  summer and fall  months.  Likewise,
Westbrooke has  experienced  seasonality in its revenues,  generally  completing
more  sales in the spring and  summer  months  and more  closings  in the fourth
quarter.

The Company historically has experienced,  and in the future expects to continue
to experience, variability in revenues on a quarterly basis. Factors expected to
contribute to the  variability  include,  among  others:  (i) the timing of home
closings;  (ii) the Company's ability to continue to acquire land and options on
acceptable  terms;  (iii) the timing of receipt of regulatory  approvals for the
construction of homes;  (iv) the condition of the real estate market and general
economic conditions;  (v) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry; (vi)
prevailing  interest rates and the  availability  of mortgage  financing;  (vii)
pricing policies of the Company's competitors;  (viii) the timing of the opening
of new residential projects;  (ix) weather; and (x) the cost and availability of
materials  and labor.  The Company's  historical  financial  performance  is not
necessarily a meaningful indicator of future results and the Company expects its
financial results to vary from project to project from quarter to quarter.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

The company has  assessed and is  continuing  to assess its  operating  systems,
computer  software  applications,  computer  equipment and other  equipment with
embedded  electronic  circuits  ("Programs")  that it currently used to identify
whether they are year 2000 compliant and, if not, what steps are needed to bring
them into  compliance.  The Company  expects that the majority of all  Programs,
including  computer   information  systems  utilized  in  its  homebuilding  and
residential lot development  operations,  will be year 2000 compliant by the end
of the second  quarter of calendar  1999.  For those  Programs  that will not be
compliant by them, the Company is reviewing the potential  impact on the Company
and the alternatives  that are available to it if the Programs cannot be brought
into  compliance  by December 31, 1999.  The Company  believes that the required
changes to its Programs will be made on a timely basis without causing  material
operational  issues or having a material  impact on its results of operations or
its financial position.

The Company  believes  that,  should a  reasonably  likely  worst case Year 2000
situation occur, the Company,  because of the basic nature of its systems,  many
of which can be executed  manually,  would not likely  suffer  material  loss or
disruption in remedying  the  situation.  The costs  incurred and expected to be
incurred in the future regarding Year 2000 compliance have been and are expected
to be  immaterial  to the results of  operation  and  financial  position of the
Company. Costs related to Year 2000 compliance are expensed as incurred.

The  Company  has  been  reviewing   whether  its  significant   subcontractors,
suppliers,  financial institutions and other service providers ("Providers") are
Year 2000  compliant.  The  Company  is not aware of any  Providers  that do not
expect to be compliant;  however,  the Company has no means of ensuring that its
Providers  will be Year 2000 ready.  The  inability of Providers to be Year 2000
ready in a timely  fashion  could have an  adverse  impact on the  Company.  The
Company plans to respond to any such contingency  involving any of its Providers
by seeking to utilize  alternative  sources for such goods and  services,  where
practicable.   In   addition,   widespread   disruptions   in  the  national  or
international economy,  including, for example,  disruptions affecting financial
markets,  commercial and  investment  banks,  governmental  agencies and utility
services, such as heat, lights, power and telephones, could also have an adverse
impact on the Company.  The likelihood and effects of such  disruptions  are not
determinable at this time
