PART I
ITEM 1. Business
General
Calprop Corporation ("Calprop") designs, constructs and sells
single-family detached homes and townhomes as part of condominiums or planned
unit developments in California and Colorado. The Company selects and acquires
the site, secures construction financing and constructs and sells homes. The
Company also sells improved lots in California and Colorado. The Company selects
projects of varying types in several local markets in an effort to reduce the
risks inherent in the residential housing industry. To enable the Company to
adapt to the changing market conditions and to control its overhead expenses,
the Company performs its construction activities through independent
subcontractors under the direction of on-site construction supervisors employed
by the Company rather than employing a permanent construction work force. The
Company does not generally finance the purchase of its homes, but has done so in
the past to facilitate sales and may do so in the future to the extent it is
feasible, if market conditions require such financing. In addition to the
continuing emphasis on single-family construction, the Company also develops raw
land through the planning, zoning, and entitlement process.
During 1999, the Company was primarily engaged in the development of lots,
and the construction and marketing of single-family detached homes and
townhomes. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had eleven residential housing
projects in various stages of development, consisting of 251 homes under
construction (88 were in escrow), 886 lots under development, and 9 model homes
used in selling the various types of housing developed. The Company's products
range from homes for first-time buyers to custom homes.
Residential Housing Industry
The residential housing industry includes several hundred developers and
home builders of various sizes and capabilities. The development process starts
with the acquisition of a raw parcel of land. The developer prepares preliminary
plans, environmental reports and obtains all necessary governmental approvals,
including zoning and conditional use permits before subdividing the land into
final tract maps and approved development plans. The subdivided parcel is then
graded and the infrastructure of roads, sewers, storm drains, and public
utilities are added to develop finished lots. Building permits are obtained and
housing is constructed, and then sold or rented. Residential housing is
constructed in a variety of types, including single-family detached homes
(ranging from the less expensive "first-time buyer" homes to the medium priced
"trade-up" homes to the more expensive "custom" homes), patio-homes (adjacent
homes with party walls), condominiums (owner-occupied multifamily housing), and
multifamily rental housing (apartments, retirement homes and other types of
nonowner occupied multifamily housing). Any of these types can be built as part
of a planned unit development with common areas such as green belts, swimming
pools and other recreational facilities for common use by occupants.
The Company's Strategy
The Company's strategy has been to acquire land in or near major urban
centers in California and Colorado and to construct single-family housing for
resale. The Company does not specialize in the construction of a specific type
or design of housing and does not limit its operation to any specific location.
The Company usually acquires project sites which are zoned and subdivided so
that the Company can construct and sell single-family housing in a relatively
short period of time, usually two to three years. The Company will also acquire
raw land that is not zoned or subdivided for investment or for development by
processing it through the entitlement process to obtain zoning and other permits
necessary for development into single-family housing and other urban uses.

Future Projects
As the Company intends to continue specializing in the construction and
sale of single-family and multifamily housing, the Company is continually
considering potential projects for development. In addition to the construction
and sale of single-family and multifamily housing, the Company is entering the
market to construct and lease single-family and multifamily housing. This market
would provide consistent cash flow in the cyclical industry of real estate
development. During 1999, the Company has purchased land in the Northern
California area for the construction of apartments. The Company also entered
into a ground lease agreement for land for the construction of townhomes in the
Southern California area for lease. The following discussion is the process
which the Company follows to acquire land, entitle, market and build residential
housing projects.
Land Acquisition and Construction
In considering the purchase of land for the construction of housing, the
Company takes various factors into account, including, among others, population
growth patterns, availability of utilities and community services such as water,
gas, electricity, sewer, transportation and schools, the estimated absorption
rate for new housing, estimated costs of construction and success of the
Company's past projects in and familiarity with the area.
The Company's long-term strategy is to acquire or option project sites
which are properly zoned and subdivided so that the Company can construct and
sell single-family housing in a relatively short period of time, usually less
than three years, after acquiring the land. Larger projects are constructed in
phases, and the Company determines the number of homes in each phase based upon
the estimated costs of construction and estimated sales schedule. The division
of a project into phases may also be required by the project construction
lender. Although a construction and marketing schedule is established for all
phases at the commencement of a project, the precise timing of construction of
each phase depends on the rate of sales of homes in previous phases.
In certain instances, the Company purchases land which is not
substantially ready for construction. Depending on the stage of development of
the parcel, the Company might be required to obtain necessary entitlements to
subdivide the parcel of land; these entitlements include environmental
clearances, zoning, subdivision mapping, permits and other governmental
approvals. After the entitlement process the Company would then develop the land
through grading lots and streets, and building the infrastructure of water,
sewer, storm drains, utilities, curbs, streets, and possibly amenities, such as
parks, pools and recreational facilities.
The Company acts as its own general contractor, and its supervisory
employees coordinate all work on a project. The services of independent
architectural, design, engineering and other consulting firms are engaged to
assist in the pre-construction aspects of the project. The Company's
construction activities are conducted through independent subcontractors, under
fixed-price contracts, operating in conformity with plans, specifications and
detailed drawings furnished by the Company and under the direction of on-site
construction supervisors employed by the Company. Generally, the Company
solicits bids from several potential subcontractors and awards a contract for a
single phase of a project based on the subcontracting bid as well as the
Company's knowledge of the subcontractor's work and reputation. Subcontracting
enables the Company to retain the necessary flexibility to react to changes in
the demand for housing, and to utilize the management strengths, specialization
capabilities, equipment and facilities of its subcontractors without large
capital investments of its own.
The Company does not have long-term contractual commitments with any of
its subcontractors, consultants or suppliers of materials. The Company selects
subcontractors who it believes will perform the required work in a timely manner
and whose quality of workmanship meets the Company's standards. Although some
subcontractors employ unionized labor, the Company has not signed a master labor
agreement or experienced any significant delays in construction as a result of
strikes or stoppages; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will
not experience such delays in the future.
The Company secures raw materials, fixtures and furnishings directly or
through its subcontractors from customary trade sources. Although certain
products have been in short supply from time to time, such shortages have not
impaired the Company's ability to conduct its business in the past and are not
expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
Marketing
The Company's marketing department coordinates the design of the homes to
be built and the interior design of model units and the design and preparation
of advertising materials. The Company builds,
3
<PAGE>
landscapes and furnishes model units for public display. After each project is
sufficiently completed so as to permit retail sales to begin, the Company
selects a realtor or realty company to market homes which are under construction
or completed.
Projects in which product is currently in the marketing stage are Parc
Metropolitan, Mockingbird Canyon, and Saddlerock. All such projects are being
marketed through realtors who have no other affiliation with the Company.
Warranties
The Company provides a one-year express warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials to purchasers of homes in its projects. In addition,
California and Colorado law provides the Company's customers certain implied
warranties, the scope and duration of which exceed the Company's express
warranties. The Company requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company in
writing and requires the insurance of the subcontractor to provide that the
Company is a primary insured and an additional insured from its subcontractors
for liabilities arising from their work, except for liability arising through
the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or from defects in
designs furnished by the Company. Nevertheless, the Company is primarily liable
to its customers for breach of warranty. The Company has builder's product
liability insurance coverage which it believes to be adequate in light of the
Company's claims history.
Schedule II to the financial statements sets forth the Company's warranty
reserves which the Company believes are adequate. Normal warranty costs are
accrued at the close of escrow and held on a project until two years after the
project is completed and all completion bonds posted with governmental agencies
are released.
Financing
Generally, the Company acquires a project site for a purchase price paid
with cash or a combination of cash and short-term acquisition financing secured
by the project site. The amount and terms of financing vary from project to
project.
After final working drawings from architects are prepared, the Company
obtains a construction loan, secured by the portion of the project site to which
the loan relates. The Company's construction loans are used to finance projected
construction costs. In order to obtain the construction loan, the Company must
repay all acquisition financing or obtain a reconveyance of that portion of the
project site which is used to secure the construction loan. The construction
loan is due and payable shortly after completion of the construction being
financed. The Company repays construction financing from the proceeds of project
unit sales. The construction financing provides for release of individual lots
for sale during the term of the financing upon partial repayment of principal in
a specified amount per lot. All cash sales proceeds in excess of the specified
release amount are retained by the Company. If the Company experienced a delay
in unit sales following construction and was unable to extend the term of its
construction financing, the Company would be required to repay the construction
financing or obtain other financing in order to hold the unsold units until
market conditions improved. Although the Company does not arrange third-party
financing for its customers, it has provided secured purchase money financing
from time to time to the extent required by market conditions. In addition, the
Company in the future may also subsidize home purchasers, as an alternative to
providing direct financing, by "buying down" the interest rate on loans from
lending institutions, the extent and amount of which would depend upon
prevailing market conditions and interest rate levels at the time.
The Company usually receives the full sales price for its homes in cash at
the closing of purchase escrows. Most of the Company's home purchasers obtain
conventional financing from independent financial institutions. Depending upon
the price range of the homes in a particular project and the prevailing mortgage
market in the area, the financing obtained by the Company's qualifying home
purchasers may be insured either by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")
or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA"). As a result of government
regulations, FHA and VA financing of the purchase of homes from the Company is
limited because, among other things, the loan amount may not exceed certain
specified levels.
Competition
The home building industry is highly competitive, particularly in the
large urban areas of California. In each of the areas in which it operates, the
Company competes in terms of location, design, quality, price and available
mortgage financing with numerous other residential construction firms, including
large national and regional firms, many of which have greater financial
resources than the Company. The Company believes that no single competitor
dominates any single market area served by the Company.
4
<PAGE>
For projects in master planned developments, the Company's units are
adjacent to those of other builders and usually marketed at the same time
through participation in joint advertising programs. While this often increases
direct competition for the Company, it also attracts a larger group of potential
purchasers than would be the case if the Company advertised by itself.
Business Risks
The development, construction and sale of single-family homes generally
are subject to various risks, including, among others, possible changes in the
governmental structure of the project locality, possible shortages of suitable
undeveloped land at reasonable prices, unfavorable general and local economic
conditions such as employment conditions and income levels of the general
population, adverse local market conditions resulting from such unfavorable
economic conditions or competitive overbuilding, increases in prevailing
interest rates, increases in real estate taxes and the cost of materials and
labor, and the availability of construction financing and home mortgage
financing attractive to home purchasers. In addition, the demand for residential
housing depends in part on the tax consequences of home ownership to home
purchasers. There have been various tax legislation proposals before Congress
over the past few years which could reduce the tax advantages currently
associated with home ownership. There can be no assurances that any such
legislation, if enacted, would not adversely impact the residential housing
industry in general or the Company's business and results of operations.
The Company's business in particular depends upon the successful
completion of construction and sale of homes on established schedules.
Construction and sale schedules may be adversely affected by a variety of
factors which are not within the Company's control, including the factors
described above, inclement weather conditions, earthquakes, labor and material
shortages and strikes. Although the Company has not experienced any serious
labor or material shortages in recent years, the residential housing industry
from time to time experiences serious labor and material shortages.
Governmental Regulations
The residential housing industry is also subject to increasing
environmental, building, zoning and real estate sales regulation by various
federal, state and local governmental authorities. Such regulations affect home
building by specifying, among other things, the type and quality of building
material which must be used, certain aspects of land use and building design, as
well as the manner in which the Company conducts its sales, lending activities
and other dealings with its customers. For example, the Federal Consumer Credit
Protection Act requires, among other things, certain disclosures to purchasers
about finance charges in credit transactions, such as sales financed by the
Company. California law requires that full information concerning certain
subdivisions be filed with the California Real Estate Commissioner, and in such
instances no sales may be made to the public until the Commissioner has issued a
public report which is delivered to purchasers. Because the Company's
competitors are also subject to the foregoing regulation, the Company believes
that it is not placed at a competitive disadvantage, except to the extent that
competitors with greater financial resources and greater volume of development
activity may more readily withstand longer delays and increased costs in the
development of projects.
Although the strategy of the Company is to build homes on land which is
already subdivided, zoned and improved with utilities, the Company occasionally
undertakes projects which entail the subdivision of partially improved land. In
such cases the Company is required to obtain the approval of numerous
governmental authorities regulating such matters as permitted land uses and
levels of population density, access to utility services such as water and waste
disposal, and the dedication of acreage for open space, parks, schools and other
community purposes. Furthermore, changes in prevailing local circumstances or
applicable law, including moratoria, zoning changes and other governmental
actions, can require additional approvals or modification of approvals
previously obtained. As a result of such regulation, the time between the
original acquisition and the commencement and completion of a project can
increase significantly. Furthermore, the commencement or completion of a project
could be precluded entirely, in which case the Company would sustain a
substantial loss on the project.
Employees
The Company has approximately thirty eight full-time employees, including
five executive officers, eighteen persons in its finance, marketing and
operations departments, and fifteen field superintendents and general laborers.
The Company also employs temporary and part-time laborers from time to time as
necessary. None of the Company's employees is currently represented by a
collective bargaining unit. The Company compensates its employees with salaries
and fringe benefits that it believes are competitive with the building industry
and the local economy. The Company believes that relations with its employees
generally are excellent.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion relates to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Statements contained in
this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company began experiencing difficulties due to the downturn in the
California real estate market during the second quarter of 1990, and through
1996 the Company continued to be impacted by the general economic downturn. In
response to these conditions the Company began utilizing marketing programs
which included price reductions and incentives to potential buyers. During 1997
however, the California real estate market began to experience a recovery. In
general, the Company's products were well received, exemplified by an increase
in the number of units sold subject to construction ("backlog") at December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997 of 88, 123, and 114 units, respectively compared to 33
units as of 1996. Additionally, the Company's sales revenue increased from
$22,908,649 in 1997 to $33,071,722 in 1998, and to $52,598,849 in 1999. The
increase in sales revenue between 1997, 1998, and 1999 is primarily attributable
to an increase in units available for sale resulting from an increase in
production. Units increased from 102 in 1997, 162 in 1998, and to 226 in 1999.
The Company decreased its gross profit to $2,356,734 in 1999 from
$2,627,524 in 1998. As a percentage of gross revenues, gross profit decreased by
3.46 percentage points to 4.48% in 1999 compared to 7.94% in 1998. The
significant decrease of gross profit as a percentage of gross revenues during
1999 results from the increase in the number of home sales in the lower profit
margin projects Summertree Park and Antares compared to the higher profit margin
project Montserrat Estates primarily sold during 1998. In addition, the Cierra
Del Lago project which completed construction in early 1998 and all homes were
sold in the third quarter of 1998 had incurred warranty costs of approximately
$615,000 recognized in 1999. The Company increased its gross profit to
$2,627,524 in 1998 from $54,702 in 1997. As a percentage of gross revenues,
gross profit increased by 7.7 percentage points to 7.94% in 1998 compared to
.24% in 1997. The significant increase of gross profit as a percentage of gross
revenues during 1998 from 1997 results from the increase in the number of home
sales in the higher profit margin projects in 1998 compared to 1997. During
1997, the Company was selling homes in the Cypress Cove and Summertree Park
projects both of which had been adjusted for impairment in 1996.
The 1999 impairment loss on the Summertree Park, Elk Grove project is
primarily a result of the introduction of two new product lines during the
second quarter of 1999 to increase the absorption rate and these were primarily
sold during the third quarter. The increase in sales price was not sufficient to
offset the increased direct construction cost, marketing and sales incentives,
production overhead and interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an
impairment loss on real estate under development of $2,519,521 during the third
quarter of 1999. The Company had 29 remaining units as of December 31, 1999.
Results of operations
The Company had loss before benefit for income taxes of $2,435,955 in 1999
from income before benefit for income taxes of $594,306 in 1998, and a loss
before benefit for income taxes of $1,806,068 in 1997. The net loss suffered in
1999 is primarily a reflection of the recognition of asset impairment of the
Summertree Park, Elk Grove project in the amount of $2,519,521. The change from
a net loss to a net profit in 1998 is primarily due to increase in profit from
operations as the Company began selling homes in its Cierra Del Lago and
Montserrat Estates projects. The net loss in 1997 is primarily due to the impact
of impairment losses on three projects recognized in 1996 resulting in low gross
profit in 1997.

<PAGE>
Gross revenues increased to $52,598,849 in 1999 from $33,071,722 in 1998,
up 59%. Gross revenues were $22,908,649 in 1997. In 1999, the Company sold 226
homes, with an average sales price of $232,738. In 1998, the Company sold 162
homes, with an average sales price of $204,146. In 1997, the Company sold 102
homes, with an average sales price of $224,595.
The overall gross profit percentage before recognition of impairment loss
of the Company was 4.5%, 7.9%, and 0.2% in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were $2,309,225 in 1999 and $1,752,909
in 1998, up 31.7%. General and administrative expenses were $1,444,096 in 1997.
The increase in 1999 from 1998 is the result of an increase in payroll costs,
and increased accounting costs due to the growth of the Company.
Benefit for income taxes of $1,683,373 in 1999 and $4,773,700 in 1998
includes the utilization of unrecognized deferred income tax benefit of $871,745
and $4,800,000, respectively to recognize a deferred tax asset. The recognized
deferred tax asset is based upon expected utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The realization of the deferred tax asset will require aggregate
taxable income of approximately $16,250,000 in future years. Benefit for income
taxes in 1997 of $185,857 represents the net refund resulting from a claim filed
for the carryback of losses related to certain qualifying expenses incurred in
1996.

As of December 1999, the Company has loans outstanding to financial
institutions, secured by the development projects' trust deeds, with rates

was completed and all homes were closed in escrow. The remaining six projects,

development. The Company enters 2000 with 251 homes under construction, of which
88 are sold, and 9 model units. Additionally, the Company has an inventory of
886 lots under development.
Based on its agreements with its lenders, the Company believes that it
will have sufficient liquidity to finance its construction projects in 1999
through funds generated from operations, funds available under its existing bank
commitments, funds generated from new lending institutions, and, if necessary,
funds that could be obtained by using its internally financed real estate
development in process as collateral for additional loans.
Management's plan, with respect to managing cash flow includes the
following components: pay off debt that is coming due in 2000, minimize
operating expenses, and maintain control over costs. With regard to the debt
coming due in 2000, management expects to extend the maturity dates of various
loans and pay the remaining loans off through cashflow from operations, prior to
their maturity date. With regard to minimizing operating expenses, management
plans to achieve this by continuing to closely examine overhead items.
Management anticipates that the funds generated from operations, including
borrowings from existing loan commitments, will be adequate to allow the Company
to continue operations throughout 2000.

related to non-Management Information Systems. Following the arrival of the Year
2000, the Company has not experienced any problems, with devices and raw
materials manufactured and/or supplied by third parties. There was no
interruption in the Company's ability to build and deliver its products and
transact business with its suppliers and customers. The Company has received no
notification from vendors regarding Year 2000 issues and the Company continues
to monitor its systems and suppliers for any unanticipated issues that may not
yet have manifested themselves.
Effects of inflation
Real estate has long been considered a hedge against inflation, and
inflation has often contributed to dramatic growth in property values. During
normal markets, the Company has been able to pass increased costs of materials
and labor to its buyers by increasing its sales prices. However, growth in
property values slowed or reversed during 1996 and 1997 in California, thus
preventing the Company from increasing sales prices to cover increased costs. In
1998 and 1999, due to the strength and stability of the economy, the real estate
market has experienced increases in sales price and the number of home buyers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Calprop Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Calprop
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 8. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Calprop Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

of the Company. The Company received ninety-nine percent of the
profits from the development of the first 24 lots and one hundred
percent of the profits from the development of 29 additional lots.
The project was completed and the entity was dissolved during 1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
remaining fifty percent of the profits. During December 1999,
Calprop purchased all of RGC's ownership interest in RGCCLPO.
As a result of the consolidations, the Company has recorded minority
interest of $228,191 and $326,941 as of December 31, 1999, and
December 31, 1998, respectively.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue and cost recognition - Revenue from real estate sales and
related costs are recognized at the close of escrow, when title
passes to the buyer. Cost of real estate sales is based upon the
relative sales value of units sold to the estimated total sales
value of the respective projects.
The Company reviews the carrying value of its real estate
developments for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an
impairment loss. During 1999, the Company recorded an impairment
loss of $2,519,521 (Note 3).
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents include readily marketable
securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less.
Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed for differences between the financial statement and income
tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and
liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the income tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during
the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Office Equipment and other - Office equipment and other is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated
utilizing the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of
five years.
Warranty reserves - The Company provides a one-year warranty to
purchasers of single-family homes. The Company accrues estimated
warranty costs on properties as they are sold. Estimated warranty
costs are based on actual warranty costs.
In addition, to the Company's one-year warranty, California law
provides the Company's customers certain implied warranties, the
scope and duration of which exceed the Company's express warranties.
The Company requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company in
writing and requires the insurance of the subcontractor to provide
that the Company is a primary insured on their insurance policy and
an additional insured from its subcontractors for liabilities
arising from their work, except for liability arising through the
sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or from defects
in designs furnished by the Company. Nevertheless, the Company is
primarily liable to its customers for breach of warranty. The
Company has builder's product liability insurance coverage which it
believes to be adequate in light of the Company's claims history.
Employee Stock Plans - The Company adheres to APB Opinion No. 25 to
account for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and
discloses the required pro forma effect on net income and earnings
per share consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation."
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
28
<PAGE>
CALPROP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Segment Information - The Company is in one business segment, the
residential housing industry, and as a result, substantially all of
the assets of the Company are devoted to that segment and
accordingly do not provide additional segment disclosure.
Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Management believes the
recorded value of notes payable to financial institutions
approximate the fair market value as a result of variable interest
rates and short term durations. Management also believes that it is
not practical to estimate the fair value of related party notes.

During 1999, the Company recorded an impairment loss on its Summertree Park, Elk
Grove project of $2,519,521. The impairment loss on the Summertree Park, Elk
Grove project was primarily a result of a slower absorption caused by a sagging
real estate market in the Sacramento area since the inception of the project.
The Company introduced two new product lines at the Summertree Park, Elk Grove
project during the second quarter of 1999 to

(6) Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes consisted of the following:

$(1,683,373) $(4,773,700) $(185,857)
========================================
During the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company reduced the
deferred tax valuation allowance to recognize a deferred income tax
benefit of $1,700,000 and $4,800,000, respectively. The deferred tax
benefit is based upon expected utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The realization of the deferred tax asset will require
aggregate taxable income of approximately $16,250,000 in future years.
The Company has assessed its past earnings history and trends, sales
backlog, budgeted sales, and expiration dates of carryforwards and has
determined that it is more likely than not that the $6,500,000 of deferred
tax assets will be realized.
As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation had net operating loss
carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately
$23,000,000 and $6,400,000, respectively. For federal and state tax
purposes the net operating loss carryforwards expire from 2007 through
2013, and from 2000 through 2003, respectively.
Benefit for income taxes in 1997 of $185,857 represents the net refund
resulting from a claim filed for the carryback of losses related to
certain qualifying expenses incurred in 1996.
The deferred income tax assets, resulting from differences between
accounting for financial statements purposes and tax purposes, less
valuation allowance, are as follows:

Included as a separate deduction of stockholder's equity is deferred
compensation relating to this plan of $170,327 and $241,130 as of December
31, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
The 1992 Director Stock Option Plan authorizes an aggregate amount of
100,000 shares to be granted. Each year, the directors that are members of
the stock option committee are granted options to buy 7,500 shares at the
market price at the date of grant, exercisable one year after grant, and
expire 10 years after the grant date. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, 15,000
shares, 15,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively, were granted under
this plan at an exercise prices of $0.44, $1.13 and $1.63 per share,
respectively. The exercise prices represent the market price at the date
of grant. At December 31, 1999, 22,500 shares were outstanding related to
this plan.
In 1996, the Company issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common
stock. As of December 31, 1999, 150,000 warrants were outstanding.
The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during 1999, 1998
and 1997 is $0.98, $1.28 and $0.60, respectively. The fair value of each
option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.5 percent
for all years; dividend yield of zero percent for all years; expected
lives of 9.7, 9.7, and 8.1 years; and volatility of 28, 61, and 106
percent.
Options to purchase 1,104,300 and 875,500 shares of common stock were
outstanding during 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1997, options were not included in the computation
of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would be
antidilutive to the net loss in the period. However, for the year ended
December 31, 1998, 328,900 options and warrants were not included in the
computation of diluted net income because their exercise prices were
higher than the average market price per share of common stock.
On March 10, 1998, three officers and a director of the Company exercised
options to purchase a total of 720,000 shares of common stock with a
weighted-average exercise price of $0.8989 per share. The Company received
$199,389 cash from an officer and received $447,813 in notes receivable
from the remaining two officers and the director as a result of the
exercise of these options. The notes receivable accrue interest at 4.987%
and mature on March 10, 2001 and are guaranteed by the officers.
On October 15, 1998, one officer of the Company exercised options to
purchase a total of 10,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average
exercise price of $0.8125 per share. The Company received a note
receivable for $8,125 from the officer as a result of the exercise of
these options. The note receivable accrues interest at 4.987% and mature
on October 15, 2001 and is guaranteed by the officer.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, accrued interest for the stock purchase
loans was $40,996 and $18,196, respectively.
