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 April 30, 1996 and 1995, the results of its operations
    for the six months and three months then ended and its cash flows for
    the six 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.

</TABLE>
Revenues for the six month and three month periods ended April 30, 1996 were
higher than those of the comparable periods of 1995 by approximately $27.8
million, or 11%, and $8.0 million, or 6%, 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 and the
larger  backlog of homes at the beginning of fiscal 1996 as compared to the
beginning of fiscal 1995.  

During the three month period ended April 30, 1996, the average selling price
of the homes delivered decreased as compared to the same period of fiscal
1995.  This decrease was the result of a shift in the location of the homes
delivered to less expensive areas, offset in part by increases in selling
prices.  For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the average selling price of
homes delivered increased as compared to the six months ended April 30, 1995. 
The increase for the six month period was due to the significant increase in
the average price of homes delivered in the three months ended January 31,
1996 over the comparable period of 1995, offset in part by the decrease in the
three months ended April 30, 1996, as previously discussed.  The increase in
the average selling price per home delivered in the first quarter of 1996 was
due to a shift of the location of the homes to more expensive areas, a change
in product mix to larger homes and increases in selling prices.

The value of new sales contracts signed amounted to $447 million (1,237 homes)
and $299 million (823 homes) for the six month  and three month periods ended
April 30, 1996, respectively.  The value of new contracts signed for the
comparable periods of fiscal 1995 were $321 million (903 homes) and $209
million (594 homes), respectively.  The increase in 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.

Orders for new homes are generally the strongest during the Company's second
quarter and consequently the backlog at April 30 is generally at its highest
level in the Company's fiscal year.  As of April 30, 1996, the backlog of
homes under contract amounted to $561 million (1,509 homes), approximately 30%
higher than the $433 million (1,174 homes) backlog as of April 30, 1995 and
approximately 40% higher than the $401 million (1,078 homes) backlog as of
October 31, 1995.  The increase in backlog at April 30, 1996 is primarily
attributable to the increases in the new contracts signed as previously
discussed and the result of delays in the delivery of homes caused by the
severe winter weather conditions that the Company experienced in many of its
markets during the first half of fiscal 1996.

Land and construction costs as a percentage of revenues increased in  the six
month and three month periods ended April 30, 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 late spring
and early autumn of 1995 to maintain sales levels.  The increased overhead
costs were due to the previously discussed adverse weather conditions which
resulted in increased spending and reduced construction activity.    The
effect of the previously mentioned weather conditions and sales incentives on
costs will continue to impact the Company's costs for the remainder of fiscal
1996.  The cost increases were partially offset by the lower amount of
inventory writedowns recognized in 1996($1.5 million for the six month period
and $.4 million in the three month period) as compared to 1995 ($2 million in
the six month period and $.5 million in the three month period).

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the six month and
three month periods ended April 30, 1996 increased over the comparable periods
of 1995 by $5.3 million or 19% and $3.3 million or 24%, 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.  In addition, SG&A as a percentage of sales increased
due to the lower than expected number of homes delivered in the 1996 periods
resulting from the previously mentioned adverse weather conditions.  The
Company believes that SG&A, as a percentage of revenues, will decrease for the
full 1996 fiscal year as compared to the six month and three month periods
ended April 30, 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 the six month and three month periods
of 1996 as compared to 1995.

Income taxes for the six month period ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 were
provided at effective rates of 37.4% and 36.6%, respectively.  For the three
month periods ended April 30, 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 $230 million unsecured revolving credit facility with
fourteen banks which extends through June 2000.  The facility reduces by 50%
in June 1999 unless extended as provided for in the agreement.  As of April
30, 1996, the Company had $85 million of loans and approximately $22.7 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.
