ORLEANS HOMEBUILDERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A) The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are
presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and do not
include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. Reference is made to the
Form 10-K as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999 for Orleans
Homebuilders, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for additional
disclosures, including a summary of the Company's accounting policies.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the
Company for the periods presented. The interim operating results of the
Company may not be indicative of operating results for the full year.
(B) Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share include additional common shares that would have
been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been
issued. The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic
earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share, and a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation
for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, are shown in the following table.

(D) From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions
arising from its normal business activities. Although the amount of any
liability that could arise with respect to currently pending actions
cannot be accurately predicted, in the opinion of the Company any such
liability will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or operating results of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company requires capital to purchase and develop land, to construct
units, to fund related carrying costs and overhead and to fund various
advertising and marketing programs to facilitate sales. These expenditures
include site preparation, roads, water and sewer lines, impact fees and
earthwork, as well as the construction costs of the homes and amenities. The
Company's sources of capital include funds derived from operations, sales of
assets and various borrowings, most of which are secured. During the first six
months of fiscal 2000, the Company purchased land for future development with an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $17,115,000. These land acquisitions
were financed with a combination of secured mortgage obligations, an unsecured
line of credit arrangement with Jeffrey P. Orleans, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and available cash. At December 31, 1999, the Company had
approximately $68,908,000 available to be drawn under existing secured revolving
and construction loans for planned development expenditures. Additionally, the
Company had approximately $3,250,000 available to be drawn under existing
unsecured line of credit and working capital arrangements with Mr. Orleans. The
Company believes that the funds generated from operations and financing
commitments from available lenders will provide the Company with sufficient
capital to meet its existing operating needs.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain details as to residential sales
activity for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, in the case of
revenues earned and new orders, and at the end of the periods indicated, in the
case of backlog.

Units 384 321

The number of new orders for the six months ended December 31, 1999
decreased by approximately 6% to 341 new orders, compared to 364 new orders
during the six months ended December 31, 1998. The number of new orders
decreased due to the increase in larger single family homes offered by the
Company, an increase in base selling price and an increase in mortgage interest
rates when compared to the prior fiscal period. Dollar volume of new orders for
the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased by approximately 17% to
$89,901,000, compared to $76,942,000 during the six months ended December 31,
1998. The average price per unit of new orders increased primarily due to an
increase in the average price of single family homes sold in the first six
months of fiscal 2000, compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. The
increase in the average price of single family homes sold can be primarily
attributed to new communities in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and Somerset County,
New Jersey, with an average selling price of approximately $648,000. In
addition, unit sales prices have been increased for the majority of communities
open during the first six months of fiscal 2000, when compared with the same
communities and units offered for sale in the first six months of fiscal 1999.
The dollar backlog at December 31, 1999, increased approximately 44% to
$106,181,000 on 384 homes, as compared to the backlog at December 31, 1998 of
$73,846,000 on 321 homes. The Company's continued geographic expansion with its
new communities, coupled with favorable economic conditions and consumer
sentiment, resulted in the increased backlog.
Inflation
Inflation can have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity.
Rising costs of land, materials, labor, interest and administrative costs have
generally been recoverable in prior years through increased selling prices.
However, there is no assurance the Company will be able to continue to increase
prices to cover the effects of inflation in the future.

<PAGE>
Year 2000
The Company began assessing its Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance issues
during fiscal 1998 and at that time determined that its primary internal
computer hardware and computer software were not Y2K compliant. During fiscal
1999, the Company purchased a new software package, including several specific
enhancements to modify the software to meet the Company's needs. In addition,
the Company upgraded its primary computer hardware system. The Company then
began intensive testing of the new base software package and, at the same time,
began working closely with the software vendor to complete the specifications
for its required enhancements to the software. During fiscal 1999, the Company
converted to the Y2K compliant software package.
Since the rollover to the year 2000, the Company has not experienced
any adverse effects on its operations as a result of the Y2K issue. While the
Company believes it has taken all appropriate steps to achieve internal Y2K
compliance, any potential future business interruptions, costs, damages or
losses related thereto, are also dependent upon the Y2K compliance of third
parties. In the event that the Company or any of the Company's vendors,
subcontractors or suppliers experience future disruptions due to the Y2K issue,
the Company's operations could be adversely affected. The Y2K issue is universal
and complex, as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way.
Although no significant Y2K issues have arisen to date, no assurance can be
given that complete Y2K compliance has been currently achieved.
Forward Looking Statement
The Company's discussion above regarding Y2K compliance contains
several forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the Company's
belief that third party non-compliance would not materially impact the Company's
operations. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected in such
statements, including the actions of third parties with respect to Y2K issues.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
Three Months and Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Operating Revenues
Earned revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased
$9,905,000 to $86,304,000, or 13%, compared to the first six months of fiscal
1999. Revenues from the sale of residential homes included 382 homes totaling
$84,785,000 during the first six months of fiscal 2000, as compared to 382 homes
totaling $73,850,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1999. The increase in
revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000, as compared to the first six
months of fiscal 1999, is primarily attributable to the increase in the average
selling price per unit. The average selling price per unit increased to
approximately $222,000 during the first six months of fiscal 2000, as compared
to approximately $193,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1999. This
increase in average selling price is primarily due to an increase in the base
price per unit, option revenue per unit, and an increase over the prior
comparable period in the percentage of single family homes delivered when
compared to total homes delivered for the period.
8
<PAGE>
Earned revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased
$3,860,000 to $44,325,000, or 9.5%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal
1999. Revenues from the sale of residential homes included 197 homes totaling
$43,715,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to 194 homes
totaling $39,309,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in
revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1999, is primarily attributable to the increase in the average
selling price per unit. The average selling price per unit increased to
approximately $222,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to
approximately $203,000 during the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.
The increase in average selling price is primarily due to an increase in the
base price per unit, option revenue per unit, and an increase over the prior
comparable period in the percentage of single family homes delivered when
compared to total homes delivered for the period.
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased
$8,323,000, or 11.5%, compared with the first six months of fiscal 1999. The
first six months of fiscal 2000 cost of residential properties increased
$8,585,000 to $71,277,000, or 13.7%, when compared with the first six months of
fiscal 1999. This increase in residential property costs is less than the
percentage increase in residential property revenues when compared with the same
period in fiscal 1999. Overall profit margins on residential properties
improved, as the gross profit of residential properties as a percentage of
residential property revenues was 15.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2000
compared with 15.1% for the first six months of fiscal 1999. The increase in
gross profit is primarily due to an increase in base selling prices per unit in
excess of an increase in the cost of residential properties per unit when
compared to the prior comparable period.
For the first six months of fiscal 2000, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $862,000 to $8,345,000, or 11.5%, when
compared with the first six months of fiscal 1999. The year-to-date fiscal 2000
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily
attributable to an increase in sales incentives as a result of the increase in
residential property revenues. The selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of residential property revenues decreased to 9.8% during the
first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to 10.1% for the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of residential property revenue can be attributed to an
increase in revenues, combined with the fixed portion of costs related to
advertising, sales office expenses and administrative office expense, remaining
relatively consistent with the prior year.
Costs and expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased
$3,067,000 or 8.1%, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The second
quarter of fiscal 2000 cost of residential properties increased $3,086,000 to
$36,439,000, or 9.3%, when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This
increase in residential property costs is less than the percentage increase in
residential property revenues when compared with the second quarter of fiscal
1999. Overall profit margins on residential properties improved, as the gross
profit of residential properties as a percentage of residential property
revenues was 16.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with 15.2% for
the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in gross profit is primarily due
to an increase in base selling price per unit in excess of an increase in the
cost of residential properties per unit when compared to the prior comparable
period.
9
<PAGE>
For the second quarter of fiscal 2000, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $565,000 to $4,302,000, or 15.1%, when
compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The second quarter fiscal 2000
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily
attributable to an increase in sales incentives as a result of the increase in
residential property revenues. The selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of residential property revenues increased to 9.8% during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to 9.5% in the comparable quarter of the
prior fiscal year. This increase in selling, general and administrative expense
as a percentage of residential property revenues is primarily due to the timing
of advertising costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to
the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. Year-to-date advertising costs as a
percentage of residential property revenues remained consistent with the prior
year.
Net Income Available for Common Shareholders
Net income available for common shareholders for the first six months
of fiscal 2000 was $3,391,000 ($.30 basic and $.23 diluted earnings per share),
compared with $2,469,000 ($.22 basic and $.18 diluted earnings per share) for
the first six months of fiscal 1999. This increase in net income available for
common shareholders is primarily attributable to an increase in residential
revenues as a result of increases in the average selling price per unit,
combined with a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as a
percentage of residential property revenues.
