    accounts)  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position,  results of
    operations  and cash  flows for the  periods  presented.  Certain  financial
    statement items from the prior year have been  reclassified to be consistent
    with the current year financial statement presentation.

    The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    consolidated  financial statements and the related disclosures  contained in
    the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000,

     *    For the three months ended September 30, 1999, revenues (in thousands)
          from  the  sale  of  models/vacation   getaway  homes  with  long-term
          leasebacks  are net of  deferred  profits  of $3,786.  These  deferred
          profits are being  amortized  as  reductions  of selling,  general and
          administrative   expenses  over  the  leaseback  periods,   offsetting
          substantially all of the related rent expense.

(7) SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The Company  conducts  its  operations  in two primary  segments in Arizona,
    California,  Florida,  Illinois,  Nevada,  South  Carolina  and  Texas.  The
    Company's active adult  communities  (primarily its "Sun City"  communities)
    are  generally  large-scale,   master  planned  communities  with  extensive
    amenities for people age 55 and over. The Company's  family and country club
    communities  are open to people of all ages and are  generally  developed in
    metropolitan or market areas in which the Company is developing active adult
    communities. Within all of its communities, the Company has usually been the
    exclusive builder of homes.

    Both of the Company's  primary segments  generate their revenues through the
    sale of  homes  (and,  to a much  lesser  extent,  land and  facilities)  to
    external customers in the United States. The Company is not dependent on any
    major customer.

    Information  as to the  operations  of the  Company  in  different  business
    segments is set forth below based on the nature of the Company's communities
    and their  customers.  Certain  information has not been included by segment
    due to the  immateriality  of the amount to the  segments  or in total.  The
    Company evaluates segment performance based on several factors, of which the
    primary  financial  measure is earnings  before interest and taxes ("EBIT").
    The accounting  policies of the business  segments are the same as those for
    the Company. There are no significant intersegment transactions.

Included in home  closings for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 were
models and vacation getaway homes sold with long-term leasebacks. Profits on the
closings of these units were  deferred and are being  amortized as reductions of
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  over  the  leaseback  periods,
offsetting  substantially all of the related rent expense. Sun City Grand had 32
such home closings,  the Sun Cities Las Vegas had 18 and the Nevada country club
community had 8.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

NOTES:

New orders are net of cancellations. The Company recognizes revenue at the close
of escrow.

The Sun Cities Las Vegas include Sun City  Summerlin  (which is built out),  Sun
City MacDonald Ranch and Sun City Anthem.

The Sun Cities Northern  California  include Sun City Roseville  (which is built
out) and Sun City Lincoln Hills.

Other  active adult  communities  represent  two  smaller-scale  communities  in
Arizona and California.

Home closings  began at Anthem  Country Club (an Arizona  country club community
near Phoenix) in September 1999.

A  substantial  majority  of the  backlog at  September  30,  2000 is  currently
anticipated to result in revenues in the next 12 months.  However, a majority of
the backlog is contingent  upon the  availability  of financing for the customer
and, in certain cases,  sale of the customer's  existing  residence.  Also, as a
practical matter, the Company's ability to obtain damages for breach of contract
by a  potential  home  buyer is  limited  to  retaining  all or a portion of the
deposit  received.  In the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
cancellations  of home sales  orders as a  percentage  of new home sales  orders
written during the period were 14.4 percent and 15.1 percent, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES.  Total revenues increased to $417.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from $409.6 million for the three months ended  September 30,
1999.  The 1999  quarter  included  $9.7  million of  revenues  from  models and
vacation  getaway  homes  sold with  long-term  leasebacks.  There  were no such
sale/leasebacks in the 2000 quarter.

Exclusive  of  closings  of models and  vacation  getaway  homes,  active  adult
community homebuilding revenues decreased to $277.3 million for the 2000 quarter
from  $292.6  million  for  the  1999  quarter.   This  decrease  was  primarily
attributable  to Sun City at Huntley,  which closed 75 homes in the 2000 quarter
compared to 226 in the 1999 quarter.  Sun City at Huntley began the 2000 quarter
with a backlog of 145 homes under  contract,  compared to a backlog of 505 homes
under  contract at the beginning of the 1999 quarter.  The Company  believes the
decreased  beginning  backlog at this  community  was  largely  attributable  to
prior-year pent-up demand which has now been satisfied.

An increase  in the average  revenue per active  adult  community  home  closing
resulted in a $25.6 million revenue increase,  partially offsetting the decrease
in home closings.

Exclusive of closings of models and vacation  getaway homes,  family and country
club community  homebuilding  revenues  increased to $117.8 million for the 2000
quarter from $96.7  million for the 1999  quarter.  This  increase was primarily
attributable to Anthem Arizona  Country Club,  which did not begin home closings
until  September  1999.  Anthem Arizona Country Club closed 95 homes in the 2000
quarter  compared to 17 in the 1999  quarter  and,  exclusive of the increase in
revenue per home closing, contributed $17.0 million to the increase in revenues.
An increase in the average  revenue per family and country club  community  home
closing  contributed $23.4 million to the increase in revenues.  These increases
were partially offset by decreases in home closings at the  Phoenix-area  family
communities (due to fewer  subdivisions) and the Nevada family  communities (due
to closing out these  operations).  Exclusive  of the change in revenue per home
closing,  the decreased  home closings at these  communites  resulted in a $15.0
million decrease in revenues.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Land and facility  sales  increased  to $16.5  million for the 2000 quarter from
$6.4 million for the 1999 quarter.  This increase was primarily  attributable to
land  sales  at the  Company's  Nevada  family  communities  resulting  from the
Company's decision to cease family community operations in that state.

HOME   CONSTRUCTION,   LAND  AND  OTHER  COSTS.   The  small  increase  in  home
construction,  land and other costs to $316.9  million for the 2000 quarter from
$313.8  million  for the  1999  quarter  was due to the  increase  in  revenues,
partially  offset by a decrease in these costs as a percentage of revenues (75.9
percent for the 2000 quarter compared to 76.6 percent for the 1999 quarter).

This cost  decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to an increase
in  homebuilding  gross  margin to 23.8  percent for the 2000  quarter from 22.9
percent  for the 1999  quarter.  Of this 0.9 percent  increase,  0.6 percent was
attributable to deferral of profit in the 1999 quarter on the sale and long-term
leaseback  of 58 model and  vacation  getaway  homes at three  communities.  The
balance of the increase was largely  attributable  to price  increases that have
been effected over the past 12 months.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  As a  percentage  of revenues,
selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 13.7 percent
for the 2000  quarter  from 13.9  percent for the 1999  quarter.  This  decrease
resulted  primarily  from the increase in revenues.  The Company  believes  this
decrease is also partially  attributable  to results of efforts to cut costs and
improve the efficiency of operations.

INTEREST.  As a percentage of revenues,  allocation of  capitalized  interest to
costs  and  expenses  was 4.2  percent  for both the 2000  quarter  and the 1999
quarter.

INCOME TAXES.  The increase in income taxes to $9.3 million for the 2000 quarter
from $7.8  million  for the 1999  quarter  was due to the  increase  in earnings
before income taxes. The effective tax rate in both quarters was 36 percent.

NET EARNINGS. The increase in net earnings to $16.5 million for the 2000 quarter
from $13.8  million for the 1999  quarter was  attributable  to the  increase in
homebuilding gross margin and increased gross margin from land sales.

NET NEW ORDER  ACTIVITY  AND  BACKLOG.  Net new orders in the 2000  quarter were
comparable to the 1999 quarter. The Company believes increases were attributable
to the following:

*    Strong demand at Sun City Lincoln Hills resulted in the increase at the Sun
     Cities Northern California.

*    Strong demand at Sun City Anthem resulted in the increase at the Sun Cities
     Las Vegas.

The Company believes that largely offsetting  decreases were attributable to the
following:

*    Included for the 1999 quarter  were 145 models and vacation  getaway  homes
     sold with long-term  leasebacks  (mostly at Sun City Grand).  There were no
     such sale/leasebacks in the 2000 quarter.

*    The  built-out  Clover  Springs  community  (part  of  other  active  adult
     communities) contributed 93 net new orders in the 1999 quarter but only one
     net new order in the 2000 quarter.

*    Sun City Hilton Head experienced a decrease in net new orders.  The Company
     is implementing new programs designed to address this reduction.

                                       15
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Due to increased  sales  prices,  the dollar  amount of homes under  contract at
September 30, 2000 was only 4.6 percent lower than at September 30, 1999,  while
the number of homes in backlog was 15.2 percent lower. The Company believes that
the unit backlog decrease was attributable to the following:

*    Satisfaction  of  prior-year  pent-up  demand at Sun City at  Huntley.  The
     Company is developing a broader product range and addressing pricing issues
     for this community.

*    The Company's  previous  decision to cease family  community  operations in
     Nevada.

*    A reduction in the number of family  community  subdivisions in the Phoenix
     area.

*    The decreased net new orders at Sun City Grand, Clover Springs and Sun City
     Hilton Head, discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY

The  cash  flow  for each  community  can  differ  substantially  from  reported
earnings,  depending on the development  cycle. The initial years of development
or expansion  may require  significant  cash outlays  for,  among other  things,
acquiring tracts of land, obtaining development  approvals,  developing land and
lots and  constructing  project  infrastructure  (such as roads and  utilities),
recreation centers, golf courses, model homes and sales facilities.  Since these
costs  are  capitalized,  this can  result  in  income  reported  for  financial
statement purposes during those initial years significantly exceeding cash flow.
However,  after the initial years of  development  or  expansion,  cash flow can
significantly  exceed earnings  reported for financial  statement  purposes,  as
costs  and  expenses  include  allocation  charges  for  substantial  previously
expended costs.

During the 2000 quarter the Company  generated  $123.2  million of net cash from
operating  community sales activities,  used $109.1 million for land and lot and
amenity development at operating communities and used $57.5 million for interest
and other operating activities.  The resulting $43.4 million of net cash used by
operating activities was funded primarily through borrowings under the Company's
$500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").

Real estate  development is dependent on, among other things,  the  availability
and cost of financing.  In periods of significant  growth,  the Company requires
significant additional capital resources.

In fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, the Company had under  development,  among other
projects:  (i) Sun City Lincoln Hills; (ii) Anthem Las Vegas, which includes Sun
City Anthem,  country club and family communities;  (iii) Anthem Arizona,  which
includes  country  club and family  communities;  and (iv) Sun City at  Huntley.
Given its assessment of market  conditions and appropriate  timing for these new
communities,  the Company decided to engage in substantial  development at these
communities and permit its indebtedness and leverage to increase  substantially.
To date, material cash expenditures have been made for these communities.

In  order  to  provide  adequate   capital  to  meet  the  Company's   operating
requirements  (largely for these new communities),  the Company in February 1999
completed a $150 million  public debt offering and negotiated an increase in the
amount of its Credit  Facility from $450 million to $500  million.  At September
30, 2000 the Company had $272.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.

                                       16
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Primarily as a result of the public debt  offering and  borrowings to fund these
development  expenditures,  the Company incurred  considerably more indebtedness
and was considerably  more leveraged  throughout  fiscal 1999 and most of fiscal
2000 than it had been in recent  years.  The Company  has reduced its  leverage,
with debt to total  capitalization  declining from 72.5 percent at September 30,
1999 to 67.6 percent at September 30, 2000 as a result of debt repayments and an
increase in retained  earnings.  The Company currently intends to further reduce
its  percentage  of debt to total  capitalization  to 67 percent or lower before
incurring material development expenditures (excluding land acquisition) for any
significant new  communities.  Its near-term goal is to reach 67 percent debt to
total capitalization in fiscal 2001.

The Company expects to have adequate capital resources to meet its needs for the
next 12 months.

At September 30, 2000,  under the most  restrictive of the covenants in the debt
agreements,  $80.9 million of the retained earnings was available for payment of
cash dividends and acquisition of stock.
