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 included as part of this 10-Q filing should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
December 31, 1999 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 table reconciles the
computation of basic and diluted Earnings Per Share for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999.

Revenues increased by 47.0% to $136.4 million in the three months ending March
31, 2000 from $92.8 million in the three months ending March 31, 1999 due to a
combination of an increase in units closed and an increase in average selling
price. The number of homes closed by the Company increased by 36.0% to 563 homes
in the three months ending March 31, 2000 from 414 homes in the three months
ending March 31, 1999. The Company's average selling price of homes closed in
the three months ending March 31, 2000 was $240,449, an increase of 7.9% from
the $222,902 average selling price in the three months ending March 31, 1999.
The average selling price of a Newmark(R) home closed in the three months ending
March 31, 2000 was $265,158, an increase of 11.4% from the $238,133 average
selling price in the three months ending March 31, 1999. The Fedrick, Harris
Estate Homes average selling price of homes closed in the three months ending
March 31, 2000 was $444,253, an increase of 5.8% from the $419,993 average
selling price in the three months ending March 31, 1999. In the South Florida
market, Westbrooke and Adler's selling price of homes closed in the three months
ending March 31, 2000 was $198,913, an increase of 6.0% from the $187,689
average selling price in the three months ending March 31, 1999. Also, revenues
generated from sales of custom homes under the Fedrick, Harris Estate Homes
brand name increased from $10.5 million in the three months ending March 31,
1999 to $17.3 million in the three months ending March 31, 2000 primarily due to
increased unit sales in Houston, Austin and Nashville. In addition, revenue from
land sales in the three months ending March 31, 2000 increased to $1.1 million
from $.5 million in the three months ending March 31, 1999.

New net sales contracts decreased 5.9% to 617 homes for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from 654 homes for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
dollar amount of new net sales contracts increased 7.1% to $163.6 million.

The Company was operating in 77 subdivisions at March 31, 2000 compared to 69
subdivisions at March 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company's backlog of
sales contracts was 1,052 homes, a 5.9% increase over comparable figures at
March 31, 1999.

Cost of sales increased by 44.5% to $113.2 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $78.3 million in the comparable period of 1999. The increase
was attributable to the increase in revenues from home closings as described
above. Cost of land sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased to
$.9 million from $.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. As a percentage
of revenues, cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased
to 83.0% in 2000 from 84.4% in 1999.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased by 31.4% to $13.6
million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $10.3 million in the
comparable period of 1999. The increase was primarily 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 existing Texas and Florida
markets, as indicated by the 46.7% increase in the Company's revenues and the
5.9% increase in the backlog at the end of March 2000 versus March 1999. As a
percentage of revenues, SG&A expense decreased to 9.9% in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from 11.1% in the comparable period of 1999.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, totaled $.7 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $.4 million in the comparable period of
1999. The Company follows a policy of capitalizing interest only on inventory
under construction or development. During the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, the Company expensed a portion of interest incurred and other
financing costs on those completed homes held in inventory. This expense
increased due to the increase in the average number of completed homes held in
inventory for the quarter ending March 31, 2000. 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 36.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease is primarily the
result of the increase in deductible amortization of goodwill resulting from the
election of the Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10). The election of
Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10) was made on December 15, 1999 when
TOUSA acquired 80% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company
recognized federal income tax expense amounting to $2.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.

Net income increased by 166.8% to $5.3 million in the three months ended March
31, 2000, from $2.0 million in the comparable period of 1999. The increase was
attributable to the increase in revenues in the Company's most profitable
markets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2000, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of $6.9
million. Inventories (including finished homes and construction in progress,
developed residential lots and other land) at March 31, 2000 increased by $6.5
million from $255.6 million at December 31, 1999 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 assets increased to 57.7% at March 31, 2000 from 57.1% at December 31,
1999. The equity to total assets ratio increased during the three months to
34.3% at March 31, 2000 from 33.3% at December 31, 1999.

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, 2000, the Company had unused lines of credit for construction loans
totaling approximately $234.2 million of which $31.7 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, 2000, 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 markets. 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
Estate 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 and from quarter to quarter.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

The Company assessed its operating system, computer software applications,
computer equipment and other equipment with embedded electronic circuits for
Year 2000 compliance prior to, on, and after December 31, 1999 and did not
experience any operational issues as a result of year 2000. In addition, the
Company did not experience any adverse impact as a result of year 2000 issues
from any of its significant subcontractors, suppliers, financial institutions or
other service providers. The Company plans no further financial commitments
regarding Year 2000 issues.

ITEM 3.  CHANGES IN INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to potential adverse
changes in interest rates as discussed below. The Company does not enter into,
or intend to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. The Company's exposure to market risks is changes to
interest rates related to the Company's construction loans. The interest rates
relative to the Company's construction loans fluctuate with the prime and Libor
lending rates, both upwards and downwards.
