ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On September 27, 1995, Centex International, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("Centex International"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centex
Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Centex"), completed the acquisition of
equity securities of Vista Properties, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Vista"), in
accordance with the terms of a Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase
Agreement, as amended, among Centex International, Vista, and the other parties
named therein.  Upon the consummation of the acquisition, Centex International
owned a majority of the equity securities of Vista.  At the time of the
acquisition, Vista, through its wholly owned subsidiaries and through Vista
Partners, its wholly owned partnership, owned approximately 3,400 acres of land
in seven states.  The land is zoned, planned or developed for single- and
multi-family residential, office and industrial, and retail and commercial
uses.  Unless the context requires otherwise, the term "Vista" as used herein
shall mean Vista Properties, its subsidiaries, and Vista Partners.

         The equity interests were acquired for a net investment of
approximately $85 million by Centex International which, when combined with
approximately $30 million of Vista's cash balances, resulted in distributions
of approximately $115 million to Vista's former equity and debt holders. Centex
International received shares of Vista's Common Stock, Series A Preferred
Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock which were issued by Vista as a part of a
"prepackaged" Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed by Vista on August 17, 1995.

         To fund the payment of the purchase price, Centex, on behalf of Centex
International, used funds provided by (i) the issuance of Centex's commercial
paper and (ii) short-term bank borrowings under existing unsecured credit
facilities from a combination of the following commercial banks:  Bank of
America, National Westminster Bank, Societe General, Sumitomo Bank, and Texas
Commerce Bank.

         In arriving at the purchase price paid by Centex International for the
equity interests in Vista, Centex International calculated a range of values
for Vista's assets after a substantial due diligence review of the assets by
Centex personnel.  After arm's-length negotiations, Centex International,
Vista, and certain of Vista's subsidiaries entered into a definitive purchase
agreement, subject to certain overbid procedures.  Centex International
subsequently increased its bid in response to bids and expressions of interest
by a competing acquirer.

              REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
    


Board of Directors
Vista Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vista
Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  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.

As more fully described in Note 1, the Company filed a "pre-packaged" joint
plan of reorganization on August 17, 1995.  On September 19, 1995, the
Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's plan of reorganization, which was
consummated on September 27, 1995, permitting a restructuring of the Company's
debt and equity capitalization in conjunction with the sale of equity interests
to Centex International, Inc.  No adjustments were made to the accompanying
historical financial statements to give effect to the reorganization and
restructuring; however, the pro forma effect of the reorganization and
restructuring on the balance sheet at June 30, 1995 and the consolidated
statements of operations for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 is
presented in Note 12.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vista Properties,
Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.


                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                                 JUNE 30, 1995


1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND REORGANIZATION

The consolidated financial statements of Vista Properties, Inc. and
subsidiaries include the operations of Vista Properties, Inc. ("Vista" or the
"Company"), Vista Mortgage & Realty, Inc. ("Vista Mortgage"), Panoramic Land,
Inc.  ("Panoramic Land"), Panorama Development Corp. ("Panorama"), Braewood
Development Corp. ("Braewood"), Beauty Built Homes, Inc. ("Beauty Built") and
Vista Partners (collectively, the "Vista Companies").  The Company owns all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Braewood, Panorama, Panoramic Land,
and Vista Mortgage. Braewood owns all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Beauty Built.  The partnership interests in Vista Partners are owned
56% by Vista Mortgage, 29% by Braewood and 15% by Panoramic Land.
Substantially all of the Vista Companies' real estate properties are held by
Vista Partners.  Beauty Built and Panorama are inactive corporations, and the
other Vista Companies are holding companies for the partnership interests in
Vista Partners and have no material operations other than those conducted
through Vista Partners.

Historically, the Company has been primarily engaged in land development that
included: (i) acquiring raw land in major metropolitan areas; (ii) obtaining
entitlements for land development; (iii) contracting for the installation of
utilities, drainage, and streets; and (iv) selling such subdivided and
developed land parcels to builders, user companies, or investors.  However,
subsequent to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a Second Amended Plan of Reorganization on January
31, 1992 (the "1992 Bankruptcy Plan") and in accordance with the indenture (the
"Vista Indenture") governing the Company's 13 3/4% senior secured notes due
2001 (the "Vista Notes") and the Company's charter, the Company's principal
business activities have been limited to the liquidation of the real estate
projects and the management, maintenance and development of such projects
pending liquidation (see Notes 6 and 7).  As of June 30, 1995, the Vista
Companies owned a portfolio of 31 projects in seven states, consisting of
partially and fully developed land aggregating approximately 3,500 saleable
acres.

Based on the belief that, absent a significant continued improvement in the
real estate markets in which the Vista Companies' properties are located, there
was a substantial likelihood that Vista would not be able to satisfy its
payment obligations under the Vista Notes, the Board of Directors began
considering various restructuring and reorganization alternatives as early as
1993.

On August 17, 1995 the Vista Companies filed a "pre-packaged" joint plan of
reorganization (the "Plan") under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy
Court").  Prior to filing the Plan, holders of both the Company's common stock
and the Vista Notes had voted overwhelmingly to accept the Plan.





                                                                              11

                    VISTA PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



The Plan provides, among other things, for a restructuring of the Company's
debt and equity capitalization in conjunction with the sale of equity interests
to Centex International, Inc. ("Centex") pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement dated as of December 18, 1994, as amended and restated.  On September
19, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court approved and confirmed the Plan.  On September
27, 1995 (the Effective Date of the Plan), Vista and Centex consummated the
transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Plan.
Pursuant to the Plan, holders of Vista's common stock, par value $1.00 per
share (the "Existing Common Stock") received aggregate consideration of
approximately $13.02 million and the holders of the Vista Notes received cash
of $101.98 million, and the Existing Common Stock and the Vista Notes were
cancelled.  As a result, holders of the Vista Notes as of the Effective Date
received a cash distribution of approximately $49.32 for each $100 in principal
amount of Vista Notes, and holders of the Existing Common Stock on the
Effective Date (other than five designated holders of Existing Common Stock
(the "Agreeing Holders")) received, for each share of Existing Common Stock
held on the Effective Date, approximately $2.60 in cash.  The Agreeing Holders
received approximately $1.30 in cash plus approximately 0.00124 nondetachable
units (the "New Stock Units") issued by the Company as reorganized pursuant to
the Plan ("Reorganized Vista"). Each New Stock Unit consists of one share of
new Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Reorganized Vista and
one share of new Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Reorganized Vista.  On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company
issued and sold to Centex a number of New Stock Units equal to 98% of the total
number of New Stock Units issued to the Agreeing Holders.  Accordingly, Centex
received 49.5% of the voting securities of Reorganized Vista.  In addition,
Centex received Series B Preferred Stock of Reorganized Vista.  As a result of
Centex's ownership of Existing Common Stock as an Agreeing Holder, upon
consummation of the Plan, Centex owned approximately 53% of the voting 
securities of Reorganized Vista.  Additional information relating to the Plan
is available in the Disclosure and Solicitation Statement filed pursuant to
Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and materials filed with
the Bankruptcy Court.  See Note 12 for disclosure of the pro forma effect of
the Plan on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 1995 and the Company's
results of operations for each of the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Vista Charter") were amended in order, among other things,
to (i) remove certain restrictions so that the Company would be authorized to
engage in any lawful act or activity permitted by Nevada law and (ii) authorize
the classes and series of capital stock of Reorganized Vista issued pursuant to
the Plan.





                                                                              12

2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vista Properties,
Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
principles, except as otherwise disclosed, assume that assets will be realized
and liabilities will be discharged in the normal course of business.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

Under the terms of the Vista Indenture and the security agreement relating to
the Vista Notes, approximately $29.3 million of the Vista Companies' cash and
cash equivalents were held in a collateral account maintained by the trustee
for the Vista Notes (see Note 6) and, prior to the filing of the Plan could be
withdrawn from time to time, provided (i) the Company delivered an officer's
certificate to the trustee requesting the withdrawal of a specified amount and
certifying that the conditions of the Vista Indenture had been met, (ii) at the
time and after giving effect to such withdrawal, no event of default (except a
default described in a notice to the trustee) had occurred and was continuing,
and (iii) the Company delivered an opinion of counsel and any other required
opinions to the trustee.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates book value since they
represent demand deposits or short-term investments in highly-rated government
securities or commercial paper.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Real estate investments are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable
value.  Cost equals the reorganization value established through the 1992
Bankruptcy Plan as reduced by the book basis of property sold subsequent to the
Company's emergence from the 1992 bankruptcy.  Net realizable value is computed
as the estimated selling price achieved over time less estimated costs of
completion, holding, and disposal.  To estimate the sales and costs over time,
management prepares a strategic project plan for each property that outlines
the Company's 




                                                                              13

current strategy in marketing and selling that property.  The Company's real
estate investments are land parcels, and the time frame for full liquidation of
the portfolio in the ordinary course of business is estimated to extend to the
year 2006.  A long-term time frame is considered necessary to obtain the
highest value for certain land parcels as a result of related market
conditions.  The mandate to hold those properties with potential for
appreciation in value is provided by the Vista Charter and the Vista Indenture.
Subsequent to emergence from the 1992 bankruptcy and prior to June 30, 1994,
the net realizable value of the real estate investments was determined based on
the net cash flows which could be generated in the ordinary course of business
over a long-term selling period.  The net cash proceeds resulting from each
strategic project plan represented estimated net realizable value of the
related project.  However, as of June 30, 1994, given (i) the substantial
likelihood that the Company would not be able to satisfy its payment
obligations with respect to the Vista Notes in October 1996, the earliest date
on which the Company would be required to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of the Vista Notes below a certain level as defined by the Vista
Indenture (see Note 6) and (ii) the fact that an agreement had not been reached
with the holders of the Vista Notes to restructure the Company, the time frame
for full liquidation of the portfolio used in determining net realizable value
was shortened to the last quarter of calendar 1996.

While management believes that the calculated net realizable value is
reasonably estimated at June 30, 1995 based on the time frame discussed above,
information which was used to develop the estimates is susceptible to
significant changes as market conditions and other factors change.  Neither
cost nor net realizable value necessarily represent fair market value.  Fair
market value is defined as cash (or cash equivalent value of other
consideration) that a real estate parcel would yield in a current sale between
a willing buyer and a willing seller (other than in a forced or liquidation
sale) as of June 30, 1995.

   
Substantially all of Vista's real estate properties are held by Vista Partners.
All properties are owned in fee simple, with the exception of the Stockbridge
property in Atlanta, Georgia, which is held in a partnership in which Vista has
a limited partnership interest.  Certain of the Company's projects are subject
to sales proceeds agreements under which third parties are entitled to a
percentage of the net sales proceeds of the specific project as defined in the
related sales proceeds agreement.  Any estimated payments due to third parties
are deducted from estimated sales proceeds in determining net realizable value.
Additionally, the Company subsidizes certain utility district obligations to
the extent special district tax revenues are not sufficient to cover such
obligations. Estimated subsidy payments are deducted from estimated sales
proceeds in determining net realizable value. Annual subsidy costs are reported
as real estate tax expense.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method specified by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109.  Under SFAS No.
109, deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and enacted tax
rates that will be in effect for the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse.

3.  PROVISION FOR LOSSES

During the year ended June 30, 1993, a provision of $1,722,000 was required to
reduce the book value of certain real estate investments to net realizable
value.  As further discussed in Note 2, at June 30, 1994, the time frame for
liquidation used to determine the net realizable value of real estate
investments was reduced from a long-term period to the last quarter of calendar
1996.  The reduction in liquidation period reflected the substantial likelihood
that the Company would not be able to satisfy its payment obligations under the
Vista Notes which required a mandatory principal payment on October 31, 1996.
Therefore, primarily as a result of the shortening of the time frame assumed
for full liquidation, in the fourth quarter of the 1994 fiscal year, a
provision for loss equal to $55.4 million was recorded, resulting in a total
provision for the year ended June 30, 1994 of $58.1 million.  No provision to
reduce carrying value to net realizable value was necessary as of June 30,
1995.  Management's estimates are based on currently available market
information and are susceptible to significant changes as market conditions and
other factors change.

The calculation of net realizable value includes providing for costs of holding
the properties, including real estate taxes.

Mortgage notes, which originate from sales of real estate, are secured by the
underlying real estate.  As of June 30, 1995 and 1994, all mortgage notes were
earning.  The average interest rate on the mortgage notes was 10.82% and 10.25%
at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

During 1994 the Company took the deed in lieu of foreclosure on land which
collateralized a mortgage note with a principal balance of approximately
$373,000.  The fair value of the underlying collateral was recorded as a real
estate investment.

Included in other accounts receivable at June 30, 1994 is approximately
$1,110,000 in sales proceeds receivable which arose from a sale of a real
estate project on June 30, 1994.  Proceeds from the sale were received on July
1, 1994.

Real estate investments securing the Company's mortgage notes receivable at
June 30, 1995 and 1994 were located in Texas.

6.  SENIOR SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

As of June 30, 1995, the 13 3/4% senior secured notes due 2001 (the "Vista
Notes") had an outstanding balance of $206,876,000.  The June 30, 1995
outstanding balance represented $130,000,000 original face amount of Vista
Notes and $76,876,000 of additional Vista Notes issued in lieu of payment in
cash for interest.  Interest was payable semiannually on April 30 and October
31 of each year.  At the Company's option, in lieu of payment in cash, interest
could be paid in the form of additional Vista Notes.  As of June 30, 1995, the
Vista Notes were secured by cash, real estate investments, and notes
receivable.



                                                                              17

As discussed in Note 1, on September 27, 1995, the Vista Notes were cancelled
upon consummation of the Plan and the Vista Indenture ceased to be in effect.

The Vista Indenture provided for redemption of the Vista Notes at any time
prior to maturity at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest.  Prior to
filing of the Plan on August 17, 1995, the Notes were also subject to mandatory
redemption at 100% of the face amount plus accrued interest to the extent that
cash exceeded $25 million on October 11 and April 10 of each year through
maturity.

While in effect, the Vista Indenture restricted the Company's business
activities to the liquidation of its real estate investments.  In addition, the
Company could not incur real estate development expenses on the completion of
its existing projects in excess of $30 million plus an inflation factor
adjustment.  The Company was prohibited by the terms of the Vista Indenture
from paying any cash dividends on its common stock so long as any of the Vista
Notes were outstanding.  The Vista Indenture required that the outstanding
balance of Vista Notes be reduced to the following amounts on the dates
specified:

           October 31, 1996                         $192.5 million
           October 31, 1997                         $180.0 million
           October 31, 1998                         $150.0 million
           October 31, 1999                         $ 75.0 million
           October 31, 2000                         $ 15.0 million




7.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

As of June 30, 1995, there were 4,050,000 shares of Class A common stock of
Vista, par value $1.00 per share, and 950,000 shares of Class B common stock of
Vista, par value $1.00 per share, authorized, issued and outstanding. The total
number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock was 10,000,000, of
which 9,050,000 shares were designated as class A common stock, par value $1.00
per share, and 950,000 shares were designated as class B common stock, par
value $1.00 per share.

The rights and preferences of the Class A common stock and the Class B common
stock were identical, except that the holders of a majority of the Class B
common stock had the right to elect two directors at each election of the
Board.  Except as specified in the previous sentence and except as may be

common stock of Vista were issued to Lomas Financial Corporation ("Lomas"). 
The 4,050,000 shares of Class A common stock were then distributed by Lomas to
certain of the equity holders of Lomas as set forth in the 1992 Bankruptcy
Plan. Any shares of Class B common stock transferred by Lomas to any person who
was not an affiliate of Lomas would have been automatically converted into
Class A common stock.

In connection with the 1992 Bankruptcy Plan, the Company's charter was amended
to provide that, among other things:  (i) business activities were restricted
to liquidation of real estate investments and (ii) directors were divided into
four classes to be elected annually as follows:  (a) two directors by the
holders of the Vista Notes, as long as any Vista Notes remained outstanding,
(b) two directors by the holders of class A common stock, (c) two directors by
Lomas as long as Lomas held any shares of class B common stock, and (d) one
director by the holders of the Notes and either the holders of the class A
common stock or the class B common stock, with such director to serve as the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The shares of Existing Common Stock had no preemptive or other subscription
rights and there were no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund
provisions with respect to such shares. All of the outstanding shares of
Existing Common Stock were fully paid and nonassessable. The Vista Charter
prohibited the issuance of any nonvoting equity securities to the extent
required pursuant to section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Vista
Indenture prohibited the payment of dividends by Vista as long as any Vista
Notes remained outstanding.




As a result of provisions of the 1992 Bankruptcy Plan and the Vista Charter,
the transfer of the Company's Existing Common Stock was, through September 27,
1995, restricted under certain circumstances.   Upon consummation of the Plan,
the Plan provided for cancellation of the Existing Common Stock and issuance of
new equity securities of Reorganized Vista, including new Class A Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, that has certain transfer restrictions.

The Company had entered into Stock Appreciation Right Agreements with certain
executive officers pursuant to which the Company had granted 470,250 stock
appreciation rights ("SARs").  The SARs provided a vesting period based on
passage of time, a minimum balance of stockholders' equity, and repayment of
the Vista Notes and included acceleration of vesting in certain circumstances.
Each SAR, upon vesting, gave the recipient the right to receive cash equal to
the amount by which the fair market value of a share of class A common stock at
such time exceeded $1.00.  The number of SARs granted to a recipient would have
automatically been adjusted upon the occurrence of certain corporate events.
None of the SARs granted had vested; and, therefore, none were exercised during
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.





                                                                             19

Under the terms of a management settlement agreement consummated on September
27, 1995 pursuant to the Plan, the Stock Appreciation Right Agreements and
related SAR's were terminated.  Furthermore, as a result of consummation of the
Plan on September 27, 1995, Vista's capital structure was reorganized as
discussed in Note 1.

The Company had a consolidated tax net operating loss carryforward at June 30,
1995, totaling approximately $324,383,000.  Of this total, $81,297,000 arose
prior to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy under the 1992 Bankruptcy
Plan. These carryforwards expire in the years through 2010.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As a result of certain pending legal matters, Vista has recorded a provision
for loss contingencies in an aggregate amount of $2,850,000.  In management's
opinion, based on information available, the resolution of all pending legal
matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on the financial
statements of the Company.

Outstanding guarantees and other commitments at June 30, 1995 were
approximately $1,600,000 and included letters of credit, cash bonds and
performance guarantees issued by the Company principally in connection with its
real estate operations.




                                                                              20

In connection with preparation of the 1992 Bankruptcy Plan, a Phase I
environmental audit was completed on substantially all real estate investments. 
Management is not aware of any environmental liabilities which would have a
material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Future minimum lease commitments for office space are as follows (in

10.  PENSION PLAN

During fiscal 1993 the Company adopted an employee savings plan which qualifies
under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All employees who have
completed six months of service are eligible to participate in the plan.  The
Company matches a minimum of 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of the
employee's eligible compensation.  Company contributions expensed for each of
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $50,000.

The Company has adopted a Directors' Retirement Plan pursuant to which
nonemployee directors of the Company received an annual retirement benefit for
life equal to 20% of the annual retainer for directors in effect upon
termination of service, multiplied by the number of years of service, up to
five, subject to an inflation adjustment and to a maximum benefit.  Under such
plan, retirement benefits were funded through the purchase of an annuity in the
name of the director.  For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
approximately $279,000, $290,000 and $227,000, respectively, was expensed for
these benefits.

(3)     Elimination of both the principal and accrued interest on the Vista Notes payable is a result of the
        cancellation of the Vista Notes.

        expenses of $695,000.

        common stock, new series A preferred stock and new series B preferred stock is a result of consummation of the

*     Derived from audited financial statements.

____________________

(1) Decrease to interest income reflects the assumption that the cash balance
    of Reorganized Vista remains at $5.0 million, which represents the balance
    at Vista on the Effective Date for working capital pursuant to the Plan.

(2) Elimination of interest expense relating to the Vista Notes reflects the
    cancellation of the Vista Notes.

(3) Decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects elimination of
    costs Vista incurred as a direct result of the fact that the Vista Notes
    and the Existing Common Stock were publicly traded, including quarterly and
    annual reporting, printing and distribution costs, compensation and
    benefits of Vista's Board of Directors and premiums to maintain directors'
    and officers' insurance.  The Plan provides that Reorganized Vista will
    have five stockholders and, accordingly, its equity securities are not
    required to be registered under the Exchange Act.

(4) Restructuring expenses incurred prior to June 30, 1995 for the periods
    presented have been eliminated.  Such costs pertain directly to the
    Company's efforts to achieve a financial restructuring including costs to
    negotiate the Securities Purchase Agreement, develop the Plan and file the
    related Disclosure and Solicitation Statement.

(5) Historical and pro forma net loss per common share are not comparable due
    to the significant difference in the number of  shares outstanding.
    Payments of dividends on preferred stock of approximately $5.9 million have
    been deducted from net loss for each of the years ended June 30, 1995 and
    1994 to determine net loss per share.  It is assumed that dividends on new

                     INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA INFORMATION

     On September 27, 1995, Centex International, Inc. ("Centex
International"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centex Corporation ("Centex" or
the "Company"), completed the acquisition of equity securities of Vista
Properties, Inc. ("Vista").  Upon the consummation of the acquisition, Centex
International owned approximately 53% of the common shares and approximately
97% of the preferred stock of Vista.  The equity interests were acquired for a
net investment of approximately $85 million by Centex International which, when
combined with approximately $30 million of Vista's cash balances, resulted in
distributions of approximately $115 million to Vista's former equity and debt
holders.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma statements of consolidated earnings
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 and the six months ended September 30,
1995 reflect the historical accounts of the Company for those periods adjusted
to give pro forma effect to the acquisition of Vista's equity securities, as if
the transaction had occurred on April 1, 1994.  A pro forma balance sheet has
not been included because the transaction was reflected in the September 30,
1995 balance sheet included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed November 14, 1995.

     The pro forma consolidated financial data and accompanying notes should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Vista
Properties, Inc.  Management believes the assumptions used in the following
statements provide reasonable basis on which to present the pro forma financial
data.  The pro forma consolidated financial data is provided for informational
purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company's
results of operations had the transactions and events described above been
consummated on the date assumed and are not intended to project the Company's
results of operations for any future period.

     Capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the response to Item
7(a) of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

          (1)  Decrease to interest income reflects the assumption that the 
               cash balance  of Reorganized Vista remains at $5.0 million, which
               represents the balance at Vista on the Effective Date for        
               working capital pursuant to the Plan.
          (2)  Elimination of interest expense relating to the Vista Notes 
               reflects the retirement of the Vista Notes.
          (3)  Decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects 
               elimination of  costs Vista incurred as a direct result of the
               fact that the Vista Notes and the Existing Common Stock were
               publicly traded, including quarterly and annual reporting,
               printing and distribution costs, compensation and benefits of
               Vista's Board of Directors and premiums to maintain directors'
               and officers' insurance.  Reorganized Vista has only five
               stockholders and, accordingly, its equity securities are no
               longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.





                                                                             28
<PAGE>   30
          (4)  Restructuring expenses incurred during the periods presented 
               have been  eliminated.  Such costs pertain directly to Vista's
               efforts to achieve a financial restructuring including costs to
               negotiate the Securities Purchase Agreement, develop the Plan and
               file the related Disclosure and Solicitation Statement.
        
(b)  To reflect additional interest expense which would have been incurred had 
     Centex borrowed $85,422 on April 1, 1994 to fund the acquisition and
     assuming no additional sales of the acquired assets from April 1994 through
     September 1995.  For the year ended  March 31, 1995 and the six months
     ended September 30, 1995 Centex's average short- term borrowing rates of
     6.47% and  6.36%, respectively, were used.
        
(c)  To reflect the tax effect of the foregoing items using Centex's effective 
     federal and state tax rates in effect for each period.
