              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

A.PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated financial statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC"
or the "Company," which, unless otherwise indicated, refers to M.D.C. Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared by MDC, without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These
statements reflect all adjustments (including all normal recurring accruals)
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC as of June 30,
1995 and for all of the periods presented.  These statements are condensed and
do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting
principles in a full set of financial statements.  These statements should be
read in conjunction with MDC's financial statements and notes thereto included
in MDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

     Price Waterhouse LLP has performed a review, and not an audit, of the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (based on
procedures adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) as
set forth in their separate report dated July 25, 1995, which is included as an
exhibit to this Form 10-Q.  This report is not a "report" within the meaning of
Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and the independent
accountant's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1994 financial statements
to conform to the classifications used in the current year.

B. INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS

   The Company operates in three business segments:  home building, mortgage
lending and asset management.  A summary of the Company's segment information is

D. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  The
computation of fully-diluted earnings per share also assumes the conversion into
MDC Common Stock of all of the $28,000,000 outstanding principal amount of the 8
3/4% convertible subordinated notes due December 2005 (the "Convertible Notes")
at a conversion price of $7.75 per share of MDC Common Stock.  The primary and
fully-diluted earnings per share calculations are shown below (in thousands,
except per share amounts).

average) pursuant to a program authorized by the MDC Board of Directors to
repurchase up to one million shares of MDC Common Stock and up to 1% of the

     During the three months ended June 30, 1995, certain eligible executives
exercised options to purchase 744,000 shares of MDC Common Stock pursuant to the
terms of the Executive Option Purchase Program (the "Program").  The Program,

lend eligible executives of the Company 2/3 of the aggregate exercise price and
state and federal taxes payable in connection with their exercise of stock
purchase options, subject to certain maximum amounts as set forth under the
Program.  Notes receivable under the Program, which totalled $1,259,000 at
June 30, 1995, are recourse and secured by the shares of MDC Common Stock issued
in connection with options exercised.  The $1,259,000 in notes are deducted from

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

                                  INTRODUCTION

MDC is engaged in the construction and sale of residential housing
(collectively, the "home building segment") in (i) metropolitan Denver and
Colorado Springs, Colorado (collectively, "Colorado"); (ii) northern Virginia
and suburban Maryland (collectively, "Mid-Atlantic"); (iii) Northern and
Southern California (collectively, "California"); (iv) Phoenix and Tucson,
Arizona (collectively, "Arizona"); and (v) Las Vegas, Nevada ("Nevada").
HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.'s wholly owned
subsidiary  ("HomeAmerican"), provides mortgage loans primarily to the Company's
home buyers and, to a lesser extent, to others (collectively, the "mortgage
lending segment").  In its asset management operations (collectively, the "asset
management segment"), Financial Asset Management Corporation (an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.; "FAMC") manages, by contract,
the operations of two publicly traded real estate investment trusts (each, a
"REIT").

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The table below summarizes MDC's results of operations during each of the
periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts).

     Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 increased 9% and
11%, respectively, compared with revenues during the same periods in 1994,
representing the highest second quarter revenues since 1988 and the highest
first half revenues in the Company's history.  The revenue increases in 1995 are
primarily due to significant increases in homes closed.   The Company closed
1,121 and 2,129 homes, respectively, during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995, the highest level of second quarter and first half home closings
since 1988 and 15% and 16% increases, respectively, over the 978 and 1,832 homes
closed, respectively, in the same periods in 1994.

     Income before income taxes was lower for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995 compared with the same periods in 1994 primarily as a result of
lower home building segment operating profits, partially offset by higher
mortgage lending and asset management segment operating profits and lower
corporate general and administrative expenses.  The reduction in home building
operating profits primarily resulted from an approximate 17% decline in Home
Gross Margins (as hereinafter defined) for the respective periods.  The decline
in Home Gross Margins largely was due to increased incentives offered to home
buyers in order to increase sales and reduce the Company's inventory of unsold
homes under construction as increases in mortgage interest rates resulted in
slower sales activity in the last four months of 1994 and the first three months
of 1995 as compared to sales rates in the comparable periods in 1993 and 1994.

   IMPACT OF HOME MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES.

     Beginning in 1992 through October 1993, home mortgage interest rates on a
30-year, fixed-rate mortgage declined to 6.7%, their lowest level in 25 years.
From October 1993 through December 1994, mortgage interest rates steadily
increased to 9.25% primarily as a result of seven interest rate increases by the
Federal Reserve Board.  Since December 1994, mortgage interest rates decreased
to as low as 7.4% in July 1995 and currently are approximately 8.0%.  While
current mortgage interest rates are low compared with historical rates, the
increases in mortgage interest rates, particularly since April 1994 when rates
moved above 8.0% for the first time since January 1993, have affected adversely,
and may continue to affect adversely in the future, the Company's home building
operations by decreasing demand for new homes.

     The Company is unable to predict the extent to which future increases in
mortgage interest rates will affect adversely the Company's operating activities
and results of operations.

     HOME SALES REVENUES AND HOMES CLOSED AND DELIVERED.  Home sales revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 11% from home sales revenues
for the same period in 1994.  Home sales revenues for the first half of 1995
were the highest in the Company's history and were 14% above home sales revenues
for the first half of 1994.  These increases in home sales revenues primarily
were the result of increases in home closings, partially offset by an overall
decrease in the average selling price per home closed as discussed below.  Home
closings increased in 1995 in (i) Arizona primarily due to a significant
expansion of the Company's operations in Phoenix; (ii) California primarily due
to the Company's acquisition and opening of several new subdivisions in Southern
California after June 30, 1994; and (iii) for the six-month period, Colorado due
to an active marketing program to reduce the level of unsold homes under
construction, an 11% increase in the average number of active subdivisions, a
continuing emphasis on offering more affordable homes and a strong backlog at
December 31, 1994.  The Company's Mid-Atlantic market had lower home closings in
the first half of 1995 compared with the same period in 1994, despite a 35%
increase in the average number of active subdivisions, as softened market
conditions in that market reduced home sales during the latter part of 1994 and
into the first half of 1995.

      The Company increased the number of active subdivisions throughout its
markets to 139 at June 30, 1995 from 119 at June 30, 1994.

       AVERAGE SELLING PRICE PER HOUSING UNIT.  The decrease in the average
selling price per housing unit in the second quarter and first half of 1995
compared with the second quarter and first half of 1994  was the result of
management's decision in 1994 to increase the Company's emphasis on lower-
priced, more affordable homes primarily marketed to first-time and first-time
move-up home buyers. This strategic change in market mix resulted in lower
average sales prices in the first half of 1995 as compared to prices in 1994 in
(i) Southern California, Colorado and Tucson; and (ii) Maryland as the Company
has opened a number of new affordable townhome projects in this market.

       HOME GROSS MARGINS.  Gross margins (home sales revenues less cost of
goods sold, which primarily includes land and construction costs, capitalized
interest, a reserve for warranty expense and financing costs) as a percent of
home sales revenue ("Home Gross Margins") decreased during the second quarter
and first half of 1995 compared with the same periods in 1994.  This decline
largely was due to increased incentives offered to home buyers in order to
increase sales and to assist the Company in its successful ongoing program to
reduce its inventory of unsold homes under construction in view of weakening
conditions in home building markets throughout the nation.  See Unsold Homes
Under Construction below.  The Company believes that competitive market
conditions and increased incentives will result in lower Home Gross Margins in
the third and the fourth quarters of 1995 compared with


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

average margins of 15.0% and 15.2%, respectively, in the same periods in 1994.
In addition, increases in, among other things, the costs of subcontracted labor,
finished lots and building materials have affected adversely, and may affect
adversely in the future, Home Gross Margins to the extent that market conditions
prevent the recovery of increased costs through higher sales prices.

     HOME SALES AND BACKLOG.  Home sales for the three months ended June 30,
1995 increased by 23% to 1,281 homes from 1,044 homes for the same period in
1994 as the Company increased the number of active subdivisions in 1995 compared
with the prior year.  Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased
slightly from the same period in 1994 primarily due to (i) the decrease in sales
in the first quarter of 1995 resulting from lower sales per active subdivision;
and (ii) the high sales trend experienced in the first quarter of 1994 (prior to
the significant increase in mortgage interest rates after March 1994).  Sales
per active subdivision in the second quarter of 1995 were comparable to the
second quarters of 1994 and 1993, averaging approximately three units per month.

     Home sales increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared with the same period in 1994 in (i) Colorado due to, among other
things, increased sales of more affordable homes and  an increase in the number
of active subdivisions in this market; (ii)  Arizona due to the Company's
continued expansion in Phoenix; and (iii)  California primarily due to the
expansion of the Company's operations in Southern California.

     In the Mid-Atlantic market, the Company's sales increased 16% for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994 primarily due
to an increase in the number of active subdivisions, particularly subdivisions
targeted to first-time and first-time move-up buyers.  Sales declined 6% for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994 due to a
20% decline in sales in the first quarter of 1995 which more than offset the
increases in the second quarter of 1995.  This first quarter decline resulted
from an overall slowing in the market which began in the second quarter of 1994.
The overall Mid-Atlantic market declined approximately 16% in the first half of
1995 compared with the first half of 1994.

     Sales in July 1995 increased by 35% to 473 homes compared with sales of 350
homes in July 1994.  The Company is unable to predict if this trend of higher
comparable sales per month in 1995 as compared with 1994, which began in April,
will continue in the future.

     Backlog at June 30, 1995 totalled 1,719 units, compared with 1,334 units at
December 31, 1994 and 2,061 units at June 30, 1994.  As the Company has been
able to reduce the level of its unsold homes under construction, the book value
of its Backlog as a percentage of the total book value in homes under
construction has increased from 42% at December 31, 1994 to 55% at June 30,
1995.  MDC expects approximately 70% of its June 30, 1995 Backlog to close under
existing sales contracts during the third and fourth quarters of 1995.

     MARKETING.  Marketing expenses (which include, among other things,
amortization of deferred marketing costs, model home expenses and sales
commissions) totalled $12,510,000 and $23,627,000, respectively, for the second
quarter and first half of 1995, compared with $10,925,000 and $19,927,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  The respective 15% and 19%
increases during 1995 compared with 1994 reflect the impact of increased home
sales revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with
1994, and expanded operations in certain of the Company's significant markets.
Significant additional marketing-related salary, sales commission and model
homes operating expenses were incurred to support the Company's expanded
operations.  Additionally, the Company has increased its marketing efforts, in
an effort in most of its markets, to stimulate sales.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses totalled
$6,545,000 and $12,940,000, respectively, during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995, compared with $6,969,000 and $13,716,000, respectively, for the
same periods in 1994.  General and administrative expenses have decreased
primarily due to the Company's continuing efforts to control general and
administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
home sales revenues decreased to 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively, for the second
quarter and the first half of 1995, compared with 3.8% and 4.0%, respectively,
in the comparable periods in 1994 as the Company was able to deliver more homes
in 1995 without a proportionate increase in overhead.

   UNSOLD HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

     The Company maintains levels of unsold homes in various stages of
completion to assist it in meeting the immediate and near-term demands of its
home buyers.  The Company monitors and adjusts its levels of unsold homes under
construction based on, among other factors, its evaluation of market conditions
and in anticipation of seasonal sales patterns and weather.

     The Company in the past has offered, and may in the future offer,
incentives to assist in selling certain of its unsold homes under construction.
These incentives include buying down mortgage interest rates, offering
prospective home buyers options and upgrades at reduced prices and, to a
substantially lesser extent, price concessions.  Incentives reduce the Company's
Home Gross Margins.

     As with all of the Company's inventories, interest and other carrying costs
incurred with respect to the Company's unsold homes under construction are
capitalized during periods of active construction and expensed following their
completion and during periods of inactivity.  In view of the Company's recent
sales trends, the period of time required to sell and close the Company's unsold
homes under construction, in some cases, has been, and may in the future be,
extended.  The Company's operating income has been, and in the future will be,
affected adversely by additional interest and other carrying costs incurred with
respect to these unsold homes following their completion and during times of
inactivity.

     During the first six months of 1995, the Company employed an aggressive
marketing program to sell certain unsold homes under construction which it
considered to be in excess of its near term requirements and is continuing this
program in the third quarter of 1995.  As a result of this program, the Company
has reduced the number of unsold homes under construction at June 30, 1995 by
approximately 33% compared with the December 31, 1994 level and the percentage
of the Company's book value in unsold homes under construction to the total book
value in homes under construction was reduced from 41% at December 31, 1994 to
28% at June 30, 1995. The Company is unable to predict the extent to which its
Home Gross Margins and operating income during the remainder of 1995 will be
affected adversely by incentives offered and additional interest and carrying
costs incurred with respect to the Company's unsold homes under construction.

</TABLE>

     The Company's net income and cash flow are affected adversely by the
carrying costs (e.g., interest and property taxes) associated with inactive land
inventories.  These inactive land inventories, the majority of which are
adjacent to, or in close proximity with, existing active projects, comprised
approximately 25% of the carrying value of the Company's total land and land
under development at June 30, 1995, compared with approximately 43% of the
$192,881,000 carrying value at December 31, 1993.  The decrease in inactive land
inventory, most of which occurred during 1994, is due to the commencement of
development and construction activity in certain subdivisions as well as sales
or other dispositions of inactive land.  Carrying costs on inactive land
inventories are expensed, not capitalized.  The Company is actively pursuing
opportunities to reduce, through sales or home building activities, its inactive
land inventories.

   INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVES.

     Operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 were
impacted adversely by $900,000 in net realizable value adjustments.  These
adjustments were related primarily to several projects in Northern California
which experienced significant slowing sales and reduced selling prices during
the first six months of 1995 due to the continued general decline in home sales
activity in the Sacramento market.  This decline has been exacerbated by the
recently announced closure of McClellan Air Force Base near Sacramento.

   ACQUISITION OF MESA HOMES ASSETS.

     On July 7, 1995, the Company purchased, for approximately $12 million, 16
model homes, 63 finished lots and 123 homes under construction from Mesa Homes,
a major Southern California home builder. Sixty-eight of the purchased homes
under construction already had been sold under contracts which were acquired by
the Company.

   The acquired assets are located in six subdivisions in Paloma Del Sol, a
master-planned community in the city of Temecula, Riverside County, California,
approximately 55 miles north of San Diego.  Homes in these subdivisions range in
price from $105,000 to $170,000 and are targeted for first-time and first-time
move-up buyers.

<PAGE>

   In connection with the July 7, 1995 acquisition, the Company also entered
into an option agreement with KRDC, Inc., an affiliate of Mesa Homes, which
permits it to acquire, over a two-year period, approximately 525 additional
finished and graded single-family lots located in and around the acquired
subdivisions in Paloma Del Sol.

</TABLE>

     HomeAmerican's operating profits for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995 exceeded the operating profits for the same periods in 1994 primarily
due to higher interest revenues and lower general and administrative expenses,
which have been reduced since mid-1994 in response to the decline in the level
of the company's refinancing activities.

     LOAN ORIGINATIONS AND PURCHASES.  HomeAmerican's loan originations and
purchases increased by 18% in the second quarter of 1995 compared with the same
period in 1994, with originations for MDC's home buyers up 36% to their highest
quarterly level in eight years principally due to increased closings by MDC's
home building segment and an increase in the percentage of mortgage originations
for MDC home buyers.  The percentage of HomeAmerican mortgage originations for
MDC home buyers increased from 52% for the second quarter of 1994 to 61% for the
same period in 1995 (with a 64%


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

capture rate in June 1995).  By increasing the percentage of mortgages
originated for MDC home buyers, the Company, primarily through the future sale
of the related mortgage servicing, is able to recover a portion of the cost of
the incentives provided by the Company to its home buyers.

     Loan originations and purchases decreased from $243,836,000 in the first
half of 1994 to $223,188,000 in the first half of 1995 due to decreases in spot
and correspondent originations and purchases which more than offset the increase
in originations for MDC home buyers in 1995.  This decrease in spot and
correspondent originations primarily was the result of increased mortgage
interest rates, particularly since April 1994, which resulted in a significant
decrease in refinancing activity and lower mortgage originations market wide.

     MORTGAGE SERVICING.  Total gains from sales of mortgage servicing for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 were comparable to total gains
recognized during the same periods in 1994. Gains from mortgage servicing sales
other than "bulk" sales comprised a larger percentage of total gains (20% for
the first half of 1995 compared with 10% for the same period in 1994) primarily
due to increases in adjustable rate mortgages, which generally are sold
"servicing released."

     The Company's portfolio of salable servicing   increased to $431,394,000 at
June 30, 1995 compared with $425,363,000 at June 30, 1994.  The underlying value
of a servicing portfolio is generally determined based on the annual servicing
fee rates applicable to the loans comprising the portfolio, which currently are
 .44% for FHA insured/VA guaranteed loans and .25% for conventional loans.

     FORWARD SALES COMMITMENTS.  HomeAmerican's operations are affected by,
among other things, changes in mortgage interest rates.  HomeAmerican utilizes
forward mortgage securities contracts to manage the interest rate risk on its
fixed-rate mortgage loans owned and rate-locked mortgage loans in the Pipeline.
Such contracts are the only significant financial derivative instrument utilized
by HomeAmerican.

</TABLE>

     The Company currently does not anticipate making additional mortgage-
related investments in the future.  As a result, future income from the asset
management segment will be substantially dependent on management fees earned
from two publicly traded REITs.  At June 30, 1995, the REITs had approximately
$216,800,000 in assets under management by FAMC.

OTHER OPERATING RESULTS.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Corporate and home building interest incurred decreased
by 4% to $8,483,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with
$8,883,000 for the same period in 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
corporate and home building interest incurred increased slightly to $17,472,000
from $17,247,000 for the same period in 1994.  The decrease in the second
quarter of 1995 is primarily due to lower levels of variable-rate bank lines of
credit and project loans outstanding during the period as the Company used the
cash flow generated from, among other things, the reduction of the Company's
inventory of unsold homes under construction to pay down related borrowings.

     Interest on home building inventories is capitalized during the period of
active development and through the completion of construction.  During the three
and six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company capitalized $6,593,000 and
$12,743,000, respectively, of this interest compared with $6,832,000 and
$12,240,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  The decrease in
interest capitalized for the second quarter of 1995 primarily was due to
decreased levels of active home building inventories which more than offset
higher interest capitalization rates resulting from higher average effective
interest rates on the Company's debt.  The increase in interest capitalized for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 primarily was due to the impact of increased
levels of active home building inventories in the first quarter of 1995 compared
with the first quarter of 1994 which more than offset the decrease in interest
capitalized in the second quarter of 1995.  Capitalized interest in home
building inventory at June 30, 1995 totalled $41,559,000, or 8.9% of total home
building inventories, which decreased from $42,522,000, or 9.4% of total home
building inventories, at June 30, 1994 as the Company continues to relieve more
previously capitalized interest through cost of sales than is being capitalized
currently.

     Corporate and home building interest incurred not capitalized is reflected
as interest expense and totalled $1,890,000 and $4,729,000, respectively, for
the second quarter and first half of 1995 compared with $2,051,000 and
$5,007,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1994.

     For a reconciliation of interest incurred, capitalized and expensed, see
Note C to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

     CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Corporate general and
administrative expenses totalled $3,482,000 and $6,609,000, respectively, during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with $3,966,000 and
$7,899,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1994.  The decreases in 1995
primarily were due to decreases in professional fees and other expenses as the
Company has continued to streamline its operations.

     INCOME TAXES.  M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries file
a consolidated federal income tax return (an "MDC Consolidated Return").
Richmond Homes and its wholly owned subsidiaries filed a separate consolidated
federal income tax return (each a "Richmond Homes Consolidated Return") from its
inception (December 28, 1989) through February 2, 1994, the date Richmond Homes
became a wholly owned subsidiary of MDC.

     MDC's overall effective income tax rate during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 was 36.1% and 35.4%, respectively, compared with 36.7% and
39.5%, respectively, during 1994.  The effective income tax rates differed from
the 35% federal statutory rate primarily due to, among other things, (i) the
impact of state income taxes; (ii) the realization of non-taxable income for
financial


                                      -26-

<PAGE>

reporting purposes for which no tax liability was recorded; and (iii) in 1994,
adjustments to prior years' income taxes.

     In April 1995, the Company received approval from the Congressional Joint
Committee on Taxation regarding the Company's final agreement with the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") relative to the IRS's examination of the MDC
Consolidated Returns for the years 1984 and 1985.  Also in April 1995, the
Company and the IRS reached final agreement on the IRS examinations of the
Richmond Homes Consolidated Returns for the years 1989 and 1990.  Such
agreements had no material impact upon the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

     The IRS has completed its examination of the MDC Consolidated Returns for
the years 1986 through 1990 and has proposed certain adjustments to the taxable
income reflected in such returns.  In general, the proposed adjustments would
shift the recognition of certain items of income and expense from one year to
another ("Timing Adjustments").  To the extent taxable income in a prior year is
increased by proposed Timing Adjustments, taxable income may be reduced by a
corresponding amount in other years; however, the Company would incur an
interest charge as a result of such adjustment.  The Company currently is
protesting many of these proposed adjustments through the IRS appeals process.
In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for the
additional income taxes and interest which may result from the proposed
adjustments.

   The IRS currently is examining the MDC and Richmond Homes Consolidated
Returns for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993.  No reports have been issued by the
IRS in connection with these examinations.  In the opinion of management,
adequate provision has been made for additional income taxes and interest which
may result from these examinations.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

MDC uses its capital resources to, among other things, (i) support its
operations, including its inventories of homes, home sites and land;
(ii) provide working capital; and (iii) provide mortgage loans for its home
buyers.  Capital resources are generated internally from operations and from
external sources.

Based upon its current financial condition and credit relationships, MDC
believes that it has, or can obtain, adequate financial resources to satisfy its
current and near-term capital requirements.  The Company believes that it can
meet its long-term capital needs (including, among other things, meeting future
debt payments and refinancing or paying off other long-term debt as it becomes
due) from operations and external financing sources.

LINES OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE.

     HOME BUILDING.  MDC's home building bank lines of credit facilities at
June 30, 1995 were $155,000,000 in the aggregate, a substantial increase over
the $70,000,000 of similar facilities at December 31, 1993.  Agreements
governing $147,000,000 of the present facilities were entered into during 1994
and the first six months of 1995, with terms that provide for final maturities
generally from four to five years, including scheduled term-out periods
(although the term-out periods may commence earlier under certain
circumstances).  Borrowings under the bank lines of credit are collateralized by
home building inventories and are limited to the value of "eligible collateral"
(as defined in the credit agreements).  At June 30, 1995, $55,106,000 was
borrowed and an additional $85,870,000 was collateralized and available to be
borrowed under the bank lines of credit.


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

     On August 3, 1995, the Company modified and extended a $75,000,000 bank
line of credit facility.  The modified agreement includes, among other things, a
lower interest margin, lower fees, an increase in funding for our expanding
Arizona and California operations and a one year extension of the final maturity
to the third quarter of 1999 (although the term-out periods may commence earlier
under certain circumstances).

     MORTGAGE LENDING.  To provide funds to originate and purchase mortgage
loans and to finance these mortgage loans on a short-term basis, HomeAmerican
utilizes its mortgage lending bank line of credit (the "Mortgage Line").  These
mortgage loans are subsequently sold.  During the first half of 1995 and 1994,
HomeAmerican sold $216,927,000 and $269,439,000 respectively, principal amount
of mortgage loans and mortgage certificates.

     The aggregate amount available under the Mortgage Line at June 30, 1995 was
$51,000,000.  Borrowings under the Mortgage Line are collateralized by mortgage
loans and mortgage-backed certificates and are limited to the value of "eligible
collateral" (as defined in the credit agreement).  At June 30, 1995, $23,131,000
was borrowed and an additional $15,771,000 was collateralized and available to
be borrowed under the Mortgage Line.  The Company also has additional borrowing
capability with available repurchase agreements.

     GENERAL.  The Company's lines of credit and notes payable require
compliance with certain covenants, representations and warranties.  Currently,
the Company believes that it is in compliance with these covenants,
representations and warranties.

     In the event that MDC's lines of credit are not renewed as they become due
or are renewed at substantially lower levels, the Company believes that it could
meet its financing requirements through a combination of internally generated
funds and new borrowings.

CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW.

     During the first half of 1995, management lowered MDC's operating cash
balances by $26,355,000 from levels at December 31, 1994.  Management believes
the Company's significantly improved financial condition enables it to operate
with lower operating cash balances.  Pursuant to these objectives, the Company
used this cash to, among other things, pay down lines of credit and notes
payable by $21,198,000 and to repurchase, for $5,321,000, 843,600 shares of MDC
Common Stock (at prices ranging from $5.88 to $6.50).  The stock repurchases
were made pursuant to an announced program to repurchase up to one million
shares of MDC Common Stock and up to 1% of the principal amount of each of its
outstanding Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes.  At June 30, 1995,
the Company had $17,209,000 available in cash and cash equivalents.

     MDC used $19,030,000 of cash in the first half of 1994 principally due to
increases in home building inventories as a result of significantly increased
levels of home building activity, offset partially by a reduction in mortgage
loans held in inventory and net increases in debt (primarily lines of credit)
necessary to finance the substantial increases in home building activities.  At
June 30, 1994, the Company had $43,973,000 available in cash and cash
equivalents.

            ISSUANCE OF STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121").  The
Company's adoption of SFAS 121 beginning in 1996 is not anticipated to have a
material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company in the year of adoption.

     In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" ("SFAS 122").  The Company's adoption of
SFAS 122 beginning in 1996 is not anticipated to have a material adverse impact
on the results of operations or financial position of the Company in the year of
adoption.

                                      OTHER

     Congressional considerations of major reform to the federal tax system have
been increasing over the past year.  Revolutionary tax plans, sponsored by
leaders of Congress, include variations of a consumption tax (sales tax) and
flat tax.  Under the current tax system, deductions are allowed for mortgage
interest and property taxes.  Tax reform may reduce or eliminate these
deductions.  The likelihood of major tax reform and the impact such reform would
have on, among other things (i) the demand for, and the value of, new as well as
existing homes; and (ii) the Company's financial position or results of
operations, is not determinable.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

   SETTLEMENT OF WESTERN SAVINGS CIVIL MATTERS.

       In December 1994, the Company and the Resolution Trust Corporation (the
"RTC"), acting in its corporate capacity as receiver for Western Savings and
Loan Association ("Western"), executed a final settlement agreement providing
for the mutual release of all potential claims between the parties and certain
related persons insofar as such claims relate to any of the Company's past
transactions with Western.

       Under the terms of the settlement, MDC paid to the RTC $3,912,000, which
MDC reserved (and set aside the cash) for as of December 31, 1992 when an
agreement in principle for the settlement was executed by the parties.  MDC
believes that consummation of the settlement agreement will not result in any
material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position.  The
settlement remains subject to the entry of a court order determining that the
settlement precludes the filing of cross-claims against MDC by various third
parties, a condition which can be waived or extended by the Company.

   EXPANSIVE SOILS CASES.

       On October 21, 1994, a complaint was served on several of the Company's
subsidiaries in an action initiated by six homeowners in Highlands Ranch,
Colorado.  On January 26, 1995, counsel for the Company accepted service of two
additional complaints by a homeowner in the Stonegate subdivision in Douglas
County, Colorado and by a homeowner in the Rock Creek development located in
Boulder County, Colorado.  The complaints, each of which seek certification of a
class action, purport to allege substantially identical claims relating to the
construction of homes on lots with expansive soils, including negligence, breach
of express and implied warranties, violation of the Colorado Consumer Protection
Act, non-disclosure and a claim for exemplary damages.  The homeowners in each
complaint seek, individually and on behalf of the alleged class, recovery in
unspecified amounts including actual damages, statutory damages, exemplary
damages and treble damages.  While the ultimate outcome of these matters is
uncertain, management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

       The Company has notified its insurance carriers of these complaints and
currently is reviewing with the carriers how the Company will proceed.  The
insurance carriers providing primary coverage have agreed to defend the Company
in the cases subject to reservations of rights.

<PAGE>

   OTHER.

       The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates have been
named as defendants in various other claims, complaints and legal actions
arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the
outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

       The Company is not aware of any litigation, matter or pending claim
against the Company which would result in material contingent liabilities
related to environmental hazards or asbestos.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREOWNERS.

       MDC held its Annual Meeting of Shareowners (the "Meeting") on May 25,
1995.  At the Meeting, two nominees, Messrs. Spencer I. Browne and Herbert T.
Buchwald, were elected as Class I Directors to three-year terms expiring in
1998.

       The selection of Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's independent
accountants for 1995 was ratified at the Meeting.  A proposal submitted by a
shareowner to eliminate staggered terms for directors was not approved.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of M.D.C.
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1995, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and of cash flows for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, of stockholders' equity, and of cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February
15, 1995 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.
