                                 (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 to Shareholders.  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 
  January 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
  three 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.

2.    Residential Inventories

  Residential inventories consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1996 amounted to $142.1 million
compared to $122.3 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  
This increase was due primarily to the increase in the average selling price 
per home and an increase in the number of homes delivered in the first 
quarter of 1996 over the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in the average 
selling price per home delivered in the first quarter of 1996 was the result
of a shift in the location of homes closed to more expensive areas, a change 
in product mix to larger homes and increases in selling prices.  The higher 
deliveries in the 1996 first quarter was due primarily to the
greater number of communities from which the Company was delivering homes.

As of January 31, 1996, the backlog of homes under contract amounted to $407.3 
million (1,101 homes), approximately 13% higher than the $360.9 million (970 
homes) backlog as of January 31, 1995.  The aggregate sales value of new 
contracts signed in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 amounted to $147.9 
million (414 homes), an increase of approximately 33% over the $111.6 million
(309 homes) signed in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in new 
contracts signed and backlog in 1996 over 1995 was primarily attributable to 
the increase in the number of communities in which the
Company was offering homes for sale.  

Land and housing construction costs as a percentage of revenues increased in the
first quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995 due principally to increased land 
and land development costs, increased material costs and increased overhead 
costs caused by weather conditions in the first quarter of 1996 which 
resulted in increased spending as well as reducing construction activity.  
The increase was partially offset by the lower amount of inventory writedowns
recognized in fiscal 1996 ($1.1 million) over fiscal 1995 ($1.5 million).

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the 1996 quarter 
amounted to $15.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million over the 1995 first 
quarter.  This increase was primarily attributable to the higher level of 
spending due to the increased number of communities which the Company was 
operating during the 1996 quarter as compared to 1995.  The Company 
anticipates that SG&A as a percentage of revenues will decrease for
the full fiscal 1996 year as compared to the first quarter of 1996, due to 
revenues increasing at a faster pace than SG&A expenses.

Interest expense is determined on a specific house-by-house basis and will vary
depending on many factors including the period of time that the land 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.  As a percentage of revenues, 
interest expense was lower in 1996 as compared to 1995.  The decline was 
principally the result of an increase in the average price of homes closed 
in 1996 over 1995 offset in part by higher interest costs
allocated to the homes closed in 1996.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for fiscal 1996 and 1995 were provided at effective rates of 
37.4% and 35.7%, respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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

The Company has a $230 million unsecured revolving credit facility with fourteen
banks which extends through June 2000.  The facility reduces by 50% in June 
1998 unless extended as provided for in the agreement.  As of 
January 31, 1996, the Company had $69 million of loans and approximately 
$25.1 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.
