                           (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
    have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. 
    The October 31, 1995 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included
    herein have been derived from the October 31, 1995 audited financial
    statements of the Registrant.  Since the accompanying condensed
    consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and
    footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
    complete financial statements, it is suggested that they be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
    the Registrant's October 31, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In the
    opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
    financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal
    recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
    position as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, the results of its operations for
    the nine months and three months then ended and its cash flows for the
    nine months then ended.  The results of operations for such interim
    period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
    the full year.

3.  Loans Payable

    In the third quarter of 1996, the Company increased its revolving credit
    facility to $250 million.  The facility expires in June 2000 and 
    reduces by 50% in June 1999 unless extended pursuant to the Agreement. 
    As of July 31, 1996, the Company had $75 million of loans and $24
    million of letters of credit outstanding against the facility.

    In addition, the Company entered into a five year fixed rate, term loan
    with eight banks in the amount of $68,000,000.  The loan bears interest
    at 7.91%, is due in July 2001 and is subject to the same covenants as
    the revolving credit agreement.

4.  Net Income Per Share

    Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
    of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  Common stock
    equivalents include dilutive stock options.  Fully-diluted earnings per
    share assumes conversion of the Company's 4 3/4% Convertible
    Subordinated Notes at a conversion price of $21.75 per share.

Revenues for the nine month and three month periods ended July 31, 1996 were
higher than those of the comparable periods of 1995 by approximately $53.6
million, or 12%, and $25.9 million, or 14%, respectively.  The increased
revenues for the 1996 periods were primarily attributable to the increased
number of homes delivered during the periods, which was due to the greater
number of communities from which the Company was delivering homes, the larger 
backlog of homes at the beginning of fiscal 1996 as compared to the beginning
of fiscal 1995 and the higher volume of new sales contracts signed in the
first quarter of 1996.  

For the nine month and three month periods ended July 31, 1996, the average
selling price of homes delivered increased as compared to the same periods of
fiscal 1995.  The average price per home delivered is affected by various
factors such as the location of the homes delivered, size of the home, changes
in selling prices and the amount of options the homebuyer selects.

The value of new sales contracts signed amounted to $653.2 million (1,795
homes) and $206.1 million (558 homes) for the nine month  and three month
periods ended July 31, 1996, respectively.  The value of new contracts signed
for the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 were $467.8 million (1,303 homes)
and $147.0 million (400 homes), respectively.  The increase in the number of
new contracts signed in both periods of 1996 was primarily attributable to an
increase in the number of communities in which the Company was offering homes
for sale and an increase in the number of contracts signed per community.

As of July 31, 1996, the backlog of homes under contract amounted to $554.8
million (1,482 homes), approximately 41% higher than the $393.3 million (1,058
homes) backlog as of July 31, 1995 and approximately 38% higher than the
$400.8 million (1,078 homes) backlog as of October 31, 1995.  The increase in
backlog at July 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to the increases in the
number of new contracts signed in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 and
the delays in the delivery of homes caused by the adverse weather conditions
in many of its markets in the first half of the fiscal 1996.

Land and construction costs as a percentage of revenues increased in  the nine
month and three month periods ended July 31, 1996 as compared to the same
periods of 1995.  The increases were due principally to increased material and
overhead costs and the cost of incentives granted to buyers in the spring and
early autumn of 1995.  The increased overhead costs were due principally to
the previously mentioned winter weather conditions which resulted in increased
spending and reduced construction activity.  In addition, due to the Company's
expansion in the past two years into California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and
North Carolina, the Company has incurred additional costs associated with the 
startup of these areas. The cost increases were partially offset by the lower
amount of inventory writedowns recognized in 1996($2.6 million for the nine
month period and $1.1 million in the three month period) as compared to 1995
($3.5 million in the nine month period and $1.3 million in the three month
period).

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the nine month and
three month periods ended July 31,1996 increased over the comparable periods
of 1995 by $6.9 million or 16% and $1.6 million or 10%, respectively.  These
increases were primarily attributable to the higher level of spending due to
the increased number of communities which the Company was operating during the
1996 periods as compared to the same periods of 1995 and the Company's
geographic expansion. The Company believes that SG&A, as a percentage of
revenues, will decrease for the full 1996 fiscal year as compared to the nine
month period ended July 31, 1996 due to revenues increasing at a faster pace
than SG&A expenses.

Interest expense is determined on a specific home-by-home basis and will vary
depending on many factors including the period of time that the land under the
home was owned, the period of time that the house was under construction, and
the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by the Company in proportion
to the amount of its inventory during those periods.

Income taxes for the nine month period ended July 31, 1996 and 1995 were
provided at effective rates of 37.4% and 37.0%, respectively.  For the three
month periods ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, income taxes were provided at
effective rates of 37.4% in both periods.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Funding for the Company's residential development activities has been
principally provided by cash flows from operations, unsecured bank borrowings
and the public debt and equity markets.

The Company has a $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility with
fifteen banks which extends through June 2000.  The facility reduces by 50% in
June 1999 unless extended as provided for in the agreement.  As of July 31,
1996, the Company had $75 million of loans and approximately $24 million of
letters of credit outstanding under the facility.

The Company believes that it will be able to fund its activities through a
combination of operating cash flow and existing sources of credit.
