accounts of Washington Homes, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company").

     The Company is principally engaged in the business of construction and sale
of residential housing. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and SEC regulations. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended July 31, 1999. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended April 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2000.


2.   Shareholders' Equity

     Common Stock. The Company has 7,784,713 shares of common stock outstanding
at April 30, 2000 all of which are voting shares. Except for voting rights, the
non-voting common stock is substantially the same as the Company's voting common
stock.

     Deferred Compensation Incentive Plan. Effective as of July 31, 1999, the
Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Incentive Plan ("Plan") for certain key
employees who may elect to defer a portion of their future compensation. The
Company will match the lesser of 20% of the amount deferred or $20,000, with the
match subject to a five-year vesting schedule. The Plan will be funded by the
purchase of the Company's common stock. The Company will retire any Company
stock acquired by the Plan and the future issuance of the same number of shares
will be from newly issued shares. During the nine months ended April 30, 2000,
60,000 shares were acquired by the Plan. As a result of this transaction,
Additional Paid-in Capital was reduced as follows (in thousands):

     Stock purchase price ...............................   $ 326

     Stock Repurchase Program. In January 2000, the board of directors adopted a
stock repurchase program for up to 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The shares will be repurchased in the open market or in block trades and
purchases will be dependent on market conditions. Shares repurchased will be
retired or used to meet the Company's current employee benefit plan obligations.
During the quarter ended April 30, 2000, 104,300 shares were repurchased for
$569,000. As a result of this transaction, Shareholders' Equity was reduced as

     Senior Notes. In April 1994, the Company issued $43,000,000 principal
amount of unsecured Senior Notes. Two series of Senior Notes were issued:
$30,000,000 with a fixed rate of 8.61% per annum, with interest payable
semi-annually beginning in October 1994 and $13,000,000 with a floating rate of
LIBOR plus 2.4% (8.68% at April 30, 2000), with interest payable July 1994 and
either quarterly or semi-annually thereafter at the option of the Company.
Beginning April 1998, interest became payable on a quarterly basis for both
series of Senior Notes. Principal repayments are due in three equal annual
installments commencing in October 1998 and continuing to October 2000. The
scheduled principal repayments of $14,333,333 were made in October 1998 and
October 1999.

     Revolving Credit Facilities. At April 30, 2000, the Company had two secured
credit facilities totaling $133 million to fund land acquisition, home
construction, letters of credit, and principal repayments on its Senior Notes.
In September 1999, the Company increased the credit availability under one of
the facilities to $120 million from $70 million. The new credit facility is
comprised of a $100 million revolving loan with a maturity date (which may be
extended) of October 30, 2001, and a $20 million, term loan with an initial
maturity of 2 years plus three one-year extension options. $14.3 million of the
term loan was used in October 1999 for a principal repayment of the Company's
Senior Notes. The remaining $5.7 million will be used to repay a portion of the
Senior Notes repayment due in October 2000. Principal repayments of $2 million
are due semi-annually beginning in April 2000. The first scheduled principal
repayment of $2 million was made in April 2000. The other credit facility
consists of a $15 million revolving loan with a maturity date (which may be
extended) of April 19, 2001. At April 30, 2000, $44.8 million was outstanding
under both facilities. Borrowings under the facilities bear interest at 30 day
LIBOR (6.29% at April 30, 2000) plus 1.75% for the revolving credit facilities
and 2.85% for the term loan.

     Land Acquisition Loans and Others. The Company has loans with various land
sellers and lenders for the acquisition of land and equipment which bear
interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.0% to 10.0% or variable rates of prime to
prime plus 0.5% and are collateralized by the related inventory.


ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Annual Operating Cycle

     The homebuilding industry in general and the operations of the Company are
seasonal in nature. The number of new orders signed is generally higher in the
period from February through May compared to the balance of the year. Deliveries
peak in the fiscal quarter ending July 31 as a substantial portion of homes for
which contracts are written during the fiscal quarter ending April 30 are
delivered. Delivery volume is relatively constant during the remainder of the

                                       8

year. Backlog is the number of homes under contract but not delivered at the end
of the period. Revenue is recognized upon the delivery of finished homes. The
following table, which sets forth the quarterly operating results for the
Company during the last five fiscal quarters, illustrates this cycle:

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1999

    Total revenues increased 35.0% to $120.7 million during the three months
ended April 30, 2000 compared to $89.4 million during the three-month period
ended April 30, 1999 as the number of homes delivered from consolidated
operations increased to 605 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from 533 homes
in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The increased levels of revenues and
deliveries are attributable to strong housing demand resulting from a generally
strong economy. The average sales price of homes delivered from consolidated
operations increased to $191,900 for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from
$164,600 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Changes in the average selling
price of homes delivered may vary from period to period based on product mix and
pricing of specific communities.

     Revenues from land sales were $2.9 million for the three months ended April
30, 2000 compared to $649,000 during the same three-month period in fiscal 1999.
Included in this year's third quarter revenue and cost of sales from land sales
is $2.7 million from the sale of a multi-family land parcel. This sale is in
line with the Company's strategy to reallocate capital to markets and/or
properties with the greatest potential return. There was no gross profit from
land sales in the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to $15,000 in the
same three-month period in fiscal 1999.

     Other income increased $666,000 to $1.7 million during the three months
ended April 30, 2000 as compared to $1.0 million in the same three-month period
in fiscal 1999. The increase is primarily due to increased income from mortgage
origination activity.

     Gross profit as a percentage of revenues from homes delivered decreased to
19.3% during the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to 19.6% during the
same three-month period in fiscal 1999. The decrease reflects cost increases in
the Maryland and Virginia markets.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million to
$15.4 million during the three-month period ended April 30, 2000, compared to
$11.1 million in the same three-month period in fiscal 1999. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of homebuilding revenue to

                                       10

<PAGE>


13.2% in the three-month period ended April 30, 2000, compared to 12.7% for the
same period in fiscal 1999. The increase is attributable to variable costs
related to the 35.0% increase in revenues, expansion of mortgage operations and
an increase in active communities to 87 from 81 a year ago.

     Interest and financing fees increased to $2.1 million during the three
months ended April 30, 2000 as compared to $2.0 million in the same three-month
period in fiscal 1999. However, due to the increased volume, interest and
financing fees as a percent of homebuilding revenues decreased to 1.8% in the
three months ended April 30, 2000 from 2.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.


Nine Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended April 30, 1999

     Total revenues increased $69.6 million (29.9%) to $302.4 million during the
nine months ended April 30, 2000 compared to $232.8 million during the
nine-month period ended April 30, 1999. The number of homes delivered from
consolidated operations increased 16.2% to 1,588 homes in the first nine months
of fiscal 2000 from 1,367 homes in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The
average sale price of homes delivered from consolidated operations increased to
$185,500 in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $165,500 in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999. Changes in average selling price of homes delivered may
vary from period to period based on product mix and pricing of specific
communities.

     Revenues and gross profit from land sales were $3.5 million and $22,000,
respectively, for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2000 compared to $3.7
million and $177,000 during the nine-month period in fiscal 1999.

     Gross profit as a percentage of revenues from homes delivered increased to
19.5% during the nine-month period ended April 30, 2000 compared to 19.0% during
the nine-month period ended April 30, 1999. The increase in gross profit margins
is due to price increases in the first six months of the year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.2 million to
$40.3 million during the nine-month period ended April 30, 2000 as compared to
$30.1 million for the same nine-month period in fiscal 1999. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of homebuilding revenues increased
from 13.3% for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 to 13.7% for the same fiscal
period in 2000. The increase is attributable to variable costs related to the
29.9% increase in revenues, the previously mentioned expenses associated with
the expansion of the mortgage operations and increase in active communities.

     Interest and financing fees increased to $5.6 million in the nine months
ended April 30, 2000 as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in fiscal
1999. However, due to the increased volume, interest and financing fees as a
percent of homebuilding revenues decreased to 1.9% in the nine months ended
April 30, 2000 from 2.4% in the same fiscal period of 1999.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

     Funding for the Company's residential building and land development
activities is provided principally by cash flows from operations and borrowings
from banks and other financial institutions. The Company's capital needs depend
upon its sales volume, asset turnover, land purchases and inventory levels.

     At April 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.2
million of which $758,000 was restricted to collateralize customer deposits and
other escrows. The remaining $7.4 million was available to the Company.

     The Company had $150.2 million in borrowing capacity from various lending
institutions and land sellers of which $62.0 million was outstanding at April
30, 2000.

     The Company believes that it will be able to fund its activities through
fiscal 2000 through a combination of operating cash flow, existing cash balances

and borrowings from banks and other lending institutions. Except for ordinary
expenditures for the construction of homes and acquisition and development of
land, the Company does not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures at the present time.


Forward Looking Statements

     This Form 10-Q report contains statements, which may be construed as
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements may involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual
results, performance, achievements or industry results, to vary materially from
predicted results, performance, achievements or those of the industry. Such
risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, change
in general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in
cost of and availability of materials, supplies and labor and general
competitive conditions.


ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.
Adverse changes in interest rates can have a material effect on the Company's
operations.

     At April 30, 2000, the Company had $62.0 million of debt outstanding of
which $12.1 million bears fixed interest rates. If the interest rate charged to
the Company on its variable rate debt were to increase significantly, the effect
could be materially adverse to future operations.

     The Company's objective in its risk management program is to seek a
reduction in the potential negative earnings effects from changes in interest
rates. The Company's strategy to meet this objective is to maintain a balance
between fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, varying the proportion based on the
Company's perception of interest rate trends and the market place for various
debt instruments.
