                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
     normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
     for the year ended November 30, 1995 contained in the Company's 1995
     Annual Report to Stockholders.

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
     position as of May 31, 1996, the results of its consolidated operations
     for the six months and three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, and its
     consolidated cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995.
     The results of operations for the six months and three months ended May
     31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the full year.  The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 1995 has
     been taken from the audited financial statements as of that date.


2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncement

     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
     No. 121").  The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 121 in the second
     quarter of 1996, earlier than required by this standard.  SFAS No. 121
     requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for
     impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
     carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and requires
     impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations
     when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
     estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
     carrying amount.  Under the new standard, when an impairment loss is
     required for assets to be held and used by the Company, the related assets
     are adjusted to their estimated fair value.  Fair value for purposes of
     SFAS No. 121 is deemed to be the amount a willing buyer would pay a
     willing seller for such property in a current transaction.  For
     homebuilders, this is a significant change from the previous accounting
     standard which required homebuilders to carry real estate assets at the
     lower of cost or net realizable value.  Fair value differs from net
     realizable value in that, among other things, fair value assumes a cash
     sale under current market conditions, considers a potential purchaser's
     requirement for future profit and discounts the timing of estimated future
     cash receipts.  In contrast, net realizable value is the price obtainable
     in the future based on the current intended use of the land, net of
     disposal and holding costs, without provision for future profits or
     discounting future cash flow to present value.

     The Company's charge associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 121 has been
     impacted by its recent decision to accelerate the disposition of certain
     real estate assets, primarily those which were held for long term
     development, to facilitate its pursuit of certain operating strategies,
     including geographic diversification, increased emphasis on return on
     investment, planned debt reduction and improved operating margins.  As a
     result, certain assets, primarily inventories and investments in
     unconsolidated joint ventures in California and France, were identified as
     being impaired.  The evaluation of impaired assets considered the
     depressed nature of the real estate business in certain of the Company's
     California and French markets, reduced demand from prospective homebuyers,
     decreased sales prices, increased sales incentives, future costs of
     development and holding costs during development.  Accordingly, based on
     this evaluation, the Company recorded a non-cash write-down of $170.8
     million ($109.3 million, net of income taxes) to state these impaired
     assets at their fair values.  The fair values established were based on
     various methods, including discounted cash flow projections, appraisals
     and evaluations of comparable market prices, as appropriate.  In terms of
     domestic inventories, only certain of the Company's California properties
     were impacted by the adoption of the

2.      Recent Accounting Pronouncement (continued)

        pronouncement while none of the non-California domestic properties were
        affected.  As the inventories affected by the SFAS No. 121 charge
        primarily consisted of land which was not under active development, the
        Company does not anticipate a material effect on its gross margins in
        the future as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.

        The estimation process involved in determining if assets have been
        impaired and in the determination of fair value is inherently uncertain
        since it requires estimates of current market yields as well as future
        events and conditions.  Such future events and conditions include
        economic and market conditions, as well as the availability of suitable
        financing to fund development and construction activities.  The
        realization of the Company's real estate projects is dependent upon
        future uncertain events and conditions and, accordingly, the actual
        timing and amounts realized by the Company may be materially different
        from the estimated fair values as described herein.


3.      Acquisition

        On March 1, 1996, the Company acquired San Antonio, Texas-based Rayco,
        Ltd. and affiliates ("Rayco") for a total purchase price of
        approximately $104.5 million, including cash to pay off the debt
        assumed.  Rayco is San Antonio's largest homebuilder and sells a wide
        variety of homes, primarily to first-time buyers.  The total purchase
        price was based on the net book values of the entities purchased and
        the assumption of certain debt.  The acquisition was accounted for as a
        purchase with the results of operations of the acquired entities
        included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of the
        date of acquisition.  The purchase price was allocated based on
        estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  This allocation was
        based on preliminary estimates and may be revised at a later date.  The
        excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
        was $32.3 million and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
        a period of seven years.

        In connection with the acquisition of Rayco, the Company amended its
        existing domestic unsecured revolving credit agreement with various
        banks by entering into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
        dated February 28, 1996, which increased its initial borrowing capacity
        thereunder to $630 million from $500 million.  The additional $130
        million of financing obtained by the Company consisted of a $110
        million term loan facility, used to finance the acquisition and to
        refinance existing indebtedness of Rayco, and a $20 million revolving
        credit facility to be used for additional general working capital
        requirements.  The amendment to the Company's credit facility provides
        for a maximum repayment term of eighteen months for the additional $130
        million of borrowing capacity.  On March 1, 1996, the Company borrowed
        $104.5 million under this credit facility to consummate the Rayco
        acquisition.

        The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of
        consolidated results of operations of the Company and Rayco as if the
        acquisition had occurred as of December 1, 1994, with pro forma
        adjustments to give effect to amortization of goodwill, interest
        expense on acquisition debt and certain other adjustments, together
        with related income tax effects.

3.   Acquisition (continued)

     This pro forma financial information is presented for informational
     purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results
     that would have occurred had the Rayco acquisition been consummated as of
     December 1, 1994, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating
     results.


 4.  Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
     of net assets acquired and is being amortized by the Company over periods
     ranging from five to seven years using the straight-line method.
     Accumulated amortization was $4.9 million and $1.0 million at May 31, 1996
     and 1995, respectively.  In the event that facts and circumstances
     indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired, an
     evaluation of recoverability would be performed.  If an evaluation is
     required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
     goodwill would be compared to its carrying amount to determine if a
     write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.

6.   Earnings Per Share

     The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average
     number of common shares, equivalent Series B convertible preferred shares
     and common share equivalents outstanding during each period. The Series B
     convertible preferred shares are considered common stock due to their
     mandatory conversion into common stock, and the related dividends are not
     deducted from net income for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
     Common share equivalents include dilutive stock options using the treasury
     stock method.  On April 1, 1996, the mandatory conversion date, all of the
     Series B convertible preferred shares were converted into shares of the
     Company's common stock.

     If, for purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Series B
     convertible preferred shares were excluded from the weighted average
     shares outstanding and the related dividends deducted from net income, the
     computation

        would have resulted in a loss per share of $2.68 for the three months
        ended May 31, 1996 and earnings per share of $.04 for the three months

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

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     OVERVIEW
     The Company took a major step forward in its non-California United States
     expansion strategy during the second quarter of 1996, with the acquisition
     of San Antonio, Texas-based Rayco.  The acquisition of Rayco provides the
     Company with a very substantial market position in San Antonio where, in
     1995, Rayco commanded a 45% market share, delivering 2,585 units and
     generating revenues of $236.2 million.  San Antonio is the ninth largest
     city in the United States and has ranked among the top ten cities in the
     nation in both job creation and economic growth for the past several
     years.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the results
     of operations of Rayco included in the Company's financial statements as
     of March 1, 1996, the date of acquisition.

     Total Company revenues, including Rayco, for the three months ended May
     31, 1996 increased 52.9% to $482.4 million from $315.5 million for the
     three months ended May 31, 1995.  For the six months ended May 31, 1996,
     total revenues increased 43.9% to $784.8 million from $545.3 million for
     the first six months of 1995.  Higher housing revenues primarily accounted
     for the increases in total revenues for the three month and six month
     periods.  The Company reported a net loss of $98.5 million or $2.47 per
     share for the second quarter of 1996 after reflecting an after tax
     non-cash charge of  $109.3 million related to its early implementation of
     SFAS No. 121 in the current quarter.  Excluding this non-cash charge, the
     Company's operations earned $10.8 million or $.27 per share for the
     current quarter compared to net income of $3.8 million or $.10 per share
     for the same period a year ago.  For the six months ended May 31, 1996,
     the Company recorded a net loss of $94.4 million or $2.37 per share.
     Excluding the non-cash SFAS No. 121 charge, earnings for the six months
     ended May 31, 1996 totaled $14.9 million or $.37 per share compared with
     net income of $4.3 million or $.11 per share for the six months ended May
     31, 1995.  The results for the three and six months ended May 31, 1996,
     which included Rayco's operations after the acquisition was consummated on
     March 1, 1996, reflected the record level of deliveries recorded in the
     second quarter of 1996.  In addition, the Company's continued progress on
     its initiatives implemented throughout 1995 to improve gross margins and
     contain costs, as well as an increase in pretax income from mortgage
     banking operations, contributed to the improved results in 1996.  Mortgage
     banking pretax income increased primarily due to higher gains on the sale
     of servicing rights.


     CONSTRUCTION
     Revenues increased by $165.4 million to $473.8 million (including revenues
     from Rayco) in the second quarter of 1996 from $308.4 million in the
     second quarter of 1995 primarily due to higher housing revenues.
     Residential revenues for the three months ended May 31, 1996 increased by
     $149.6 million, or 49.2%, to $453.7 million compared to $304.1 million in
     the year-earlier period, as the Company achieved a record 2,883 unit
     deliveries in the current quarter (including 683 deliveries from Rayco)
     compared to 1,875 deliveries for the same quarter a year ago.  Excluding
     the effects of the Rayco acquisition, housing revenues for the second
     quarter of 1996 increased 28.5% over the same period a year ago,
     reflecting a 17.3% higher unit volume and an increase in the average
     selling price.  Housing revenues in the United States totaled $418.8
     million on 2,718 unit deliveries in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
     $280.1 million on 1,741 units in the prior year's period.  Excluding
     Rayco, housing revenues in the United States totaled $355.7 million on
     2,035 unit deliveries in the current quarter representing an increase of
     27.0% and 16.9% in housing revenues and units, respectively, from the same
     quarter a year ago.  California housing operations generated revenues of
     $273.7 million on 1,453 units in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
     $219.4 million on 1,295 units in the same quarter a year ago.  Domestic
     operations outside of California also experienced growth in the second
     quarter of 1995.  Excluding Rayco, domestic operations outside of
     California generated $82.1 million of housing revenues on 582 units in the
     second quarter of 1996 compared to $60.7 million on 446 units for the same
     period a year ago.  The March 1st acquisition of Rayco coupled with
     continued growth in the Company's operations outside of California
     resulted in non-California United States deliveries accounting for 46.5%
     of the domestic unit total in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 25.6%
     in the second quarter of 1995.  Revenues from French housing operations
     during the current period increased to $34.3 million on 160 units from
     $21.5 million on 110 units in the prior year's second quarter.

<PAGE>   11

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Company's overall average
        selling price decreased to $157,300 from $162,100 in the same quarter a
        year ago, reflecting the integration of Rayco into the Company's
        operations.  Excluding the effects of the Rayco acquisition, the
        Company-wide average selling price increased 9.5% to $177,500 in the
        second quarter of 1996.  This increase resulted from an 8.6% increase
        in the Company's domestic average selling price and a 9.8% increase in
        the French average selling price compared to the year earlier period.
        Excluding Rayco, the Company's average new home price in the United
        States increased in the second quarter of 1996 to $174,800 from
        $160,900 in the same period of 1995, reflecting an 11.2% and 3.7% rise
        in the average selling prices in California and other United States
        operations, respectively.  Rayco's average sales price in the quarter
        was $92,300.  In France, the Company's average selling price for the
        three months ended May 31, 1996 rose to $214,100 from $195,000 in the
        year-earlier quarter.  The increase in average selling prices in the
        United States (excluding Rayco) occurred as a result of a change in
        product mix favoring more higher priced urban in-fill locations and
        first-time move-up sales, while, in France, the higher average selling
        price primarily resulted from a change in the mix of deliveries.

        Second quarter revenues from commercial development activities in
        France totaled $7.7 million in 1996 compared to $3.9 million in 1995.
        Company revenues from land sales totaled $12.4 million in the three
        months ended May 31, 1996 compared to $.4 million in the same period of
        1995.  Generally, land sale revenues fluctuate based on the Company's
        decision to maintain or decrease its land ownership position in certain
        markets, the strength and number of competing developers entering
        markets at given points in time, the availability of land in markets
        served by the Company's housing divisions, and prevailing market
        conditions.  The higher level of land sale revenues in the second
        quarter of 1996 was impacted by the Company's aggressive asset sale
        program implemented as part of its debt reduction strategy.

        For the first six months of 1996, construction revenues totaled $769.6
        million, an increase of $236.8 million from $532.8 million for the same
        period a year ago, primarily as a result of higher housing revenues.
        The increase in housing revenues reflected higher unit volume and a
        higher average selling price.  Housing revenues totaled $743.4 million
        on 4,566 units in the first half of 1996 compared to $520.7 million on
        3,242 units for the same period a year ago.  Excluding Rayco, housing
        revenues for the first half of 1996 increased 30.7% from the same
        period a year ago.  Housing operations in the United States produced
        revenues of $688.3 million on 4,300 units ($625.3 million on 3,617
        units excluding Rayco) in the first six months of 1996 and $476.2
        million on 3,006 units in the comparable period of 1995.  Deliveries in
        California increased to 2,548 units for the first six months of 1996
        from 2,267 units for the first six months of 1995, while deliveries
        from other United States operations (excluding Rayco) increased to
        1,069 from 739 units during the same period.  French housing revenues
        totaled $53.7 million on 256 units in the first half of 1996 and $41.7
        million on 212 units in the corresponding period of 1995.

        The Company-wide average new home price increased to $162,700 in the
        first six months of 1996 from $160,500 in the year-earlier period.
        Excluding Rayco, the Company-wide average selling price increased to
        $175,100 for the first half of 1996, reflecting a 12.4% and 3.7%
        increase in the average selling prices in California and other United
        States operations, respectively.  Additionally, the average selling
        price in France for the six month period increased to $209,900 in 1996
        from $196,800 in 1995.  The higher average selling prices in the United
        States and France reflected higher priced urban in-fill locations and
        first-time move up sales, and a change in the mix of deliveries,
        respectively.

        Revenues from the development of commercial buildings in France
        increased to $11.4 million for the first six months of 1996 from $4.9
        million in the comparable period of 1995.  Company-wide revenues from
        land sales totaled $14.8 million for the first half of 1996 compared to
        $7.2 million for the same period a year ago.

        Operating income (excluding the $170.8 million non-cash charge for
        impairment of long-lived assets) increased by $14.1 million to $25.0
        million in the second quarter of 1996 from $10.9 million in the second
        quarter of 1995.  This increase was primarily due to higher gross
        profits on housing sales, reflecting higher unit volume and improved
        gross margins due, in part, to the inclusion of Rayco in the Company's
        operations in the second quarter.  Gross profits (excluding profits
        from land sales) increased by $31.2 million to $84.3 million in the
        second quarter of 1996 from $53.1 million in the prior year's quarter.
        Gross profits (excluding profits from land sales) as a percentage of
        related revenues increased to 18.3% in the current quarter from 17.2%
        in the





                                       11

     year-earlier quarter.  For the same period, the Company's housing gross
     margin was 18.0% in 1996, up from 17.1% in 1995.  This increase primarily
     reflected an improvement in the other United States housing gross margin
     mainly driven by continued growth in the Company's higher margin
     operations in other western states combined with the inclusion of Rayco.
     Land sales generated profits of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1996
     compared to a loss of $.1 million during the same quarter a year ago.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $18.3 million to
     $60.4 million in the second quarter of 1996 from $42.1 million in the
     second quarter of 1995.  This increase was primarily due to the inclusion
     of Rayco's operations, which added $7.3 million of selling, general and
     administrative expenses, and an increase in marketing expenses from the
     Company's remaining operations due to higher unit volume.  As a percentage
     of housing revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses improved
     .5 percentage points to 13.3% in the second quarter of 1996.  This
     improvement was due to higher unit volume and the impact of the Company's
     cost containment initiatives, including reductions in sales incentives,
     implemented during the course of 1995.

     The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 121 in the second quarter of 1996,
     earlier than required by this standard.  SFAS No. 121 requires that
     long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever
     events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
     the asset may not be recoverable and requires impairment losses to be
     recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
     impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
     generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
     Under the new standard, when an impairment loss is required for assets to
     be held and used by the Company, the related assets are adjusted to their
     estimated fair value.  Fair value for purposes of SFAS No. 121 is deemed
     to be the amount a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for such
     property in a current transaction.  For homebuilders, this is a
     significant change from the previous accounting standard which required
     homebuilders to carry real estate assets at the lower of cost or net
     realizable value.  The Company's charge associated with the adoption of
     SFAS No. 121 has been impacted by its recent decision to accelerate the
     disposition of certain real estate assets, primarily those which were held
     for long term development, to facilitate its pursuit of certain operating
     strategies, including geographic diversification, increased emphasis on
     return on investment, planned debt reduction and improved operating
     margins.  As a result, certain assets, primarily inventories and
     investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in California and France,
     were identified as being impaired.  The evaluation of impaired assets
     considered the depressed nature of the real estate business in certain of
     the Company's California and French markets, reduced demand from
     prospective homebuyers, decreased sales prices, increased sales
     incentives, future costs of development and holding costs during
     development.  Accordingly, based on this evaluation, the Company recorded
     a non-cash write-down of $170.8 million ($109.3 million, net of income
     taxes) to state these impaired assets at their fair values.  The fair
     values established were based on various methods, including discounted
     cash flow projections, appraisals and evaluations of comparable market
     prices, as appropriate.  In terms of domestic inventories, only certain of
     the Company's California properties were impacted by the adoption of the
     pronouncement while none of the non-California domestic properties were
     affected.  As the inventories affected by the SFAS No. 121 charge
     primarily consisted of land which was not under active development, the
     Company does not anticipate a material effect on its gross margins in the
     future as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.

     For the first six months of 1996, operating income (excluding the $170.8
     million non-cash charge for impairment of long-lived assets) increased by
     $20.7 million to $37.1 million from $16.4 million in the corresponding
     period of 1995.  This increase was principally due to higher gross profits
     on housing sales, reflecting both higher unit volume and an improvement in
     margins.  For the six-month period, gross profits (excluding profits from
     land sales) increased by $48.6 million to $135.9 million in 1996 from
     $87.3 million in 1995.  As a percentage of related revenues, gross profits
     (excluding profits from land sales) were 18.0% in the first half of 1996
     compared to 16.6% in the prior year's period.  This increase primarily
     reflected a .5 percentage point improvement in California gross margin and
     continued growth in the Company's higher margin operations in other
     western states as well as the addition of Rayco.  Gross profits from land
     sales decreased by $1.5 million in the first half of 1996 to $1.4 million
     from the $2.9 million recorded in the first half of 1995.





                                       12

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $26.3 million
        to $100.1 million for the first six months of 1996 from $73.8 million
        for the same period of 1995.  However, as a percentage of housing
        revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses improved .7
        percentage points to 13.5% for the first six months of 1996 from 14.2%
        in the corresponding period of 1995.  This improvement resulted from
        higher unit volume and the impact of the Company's cost containment
        efforts.

        Interest income totaled $.7 million in the second quarter of 1996
        compared to $.5 million in the prior year's second quarter.  For the
        first six months, interest income totaled $1.4 million in 1996 and $1.0
        million in 1995.  Interest income for the second quarter and first half
        of 1996 reflected little change in the interest bearing average
        balances of short-term investments and mortgages receivable compared to
        the same periods a year ago.

        Interest expense (net of amounts capitalized), reflecting an increase
        in average indebtedness and a lower percentage of interest capitalized,
        increased to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 from $7.4
        million in the second quarter of 1995.  For the six-month period,
        interest expense totaled $18.7 million in 1996 compared to $13.0
        million in 1995.  Average debt levels grew in 1996 primarily as a
        result of additional borrowings under a revision to the Company's
        domestic unsecured revolving credit agreement for the acquisition of
        Rayco and continued growth in the Company's western United States
        operations.  The lower capitalization rate reflected a higher proportion
        of land in production in 1996 compared to 1995 and non-capitalization
        of interest on borrowings associated with the acquisition of Rayco.

        Minority interests in pretax income of consolidated joint ventures
        totaled $.1 million in the three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995.
        For the first half of 1996, minority interests in pretax income of
        consolidated joint ventures totaled $.2 million compared to $.1 million
        for the same period a year ago.  Minority interests, which primarily
        relate to commercial activities in France, are expected to remain at
        relatively low levels reflecting the limited opportunities currently
        available in the French commercial market.

        Equity in pretax income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures
        reflected a loss of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared
        to break even results in the second quarter of 1995.  Joint ventures
        recorded combined revenues of $1.3 million in the current quarter
        compared to $3.3 million for the corresponding period of 1995.  All of
        these revenues in the second quarter of 1996 and 1995 were from
        residential properties.  For the first half of 1996, the Company's
        equity in pretax loss of unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $1.7
        million, increasing from $.1 million in the same period of 1995.
        Combined revenues from these joint ventures totaled $2.1 million in the
        first half of 1996 compared to $16.6 million in the first half of 1995.
        Of these amounts, revenues from residential properties accounted for
        $2.0 million in 1996 and $13.7 million in 1995.  The losses recorded in
        the three and six month periods ended May 31, 1996 and 1995 primarily
        related to a single French multi-family residential project.  As a
        result of the charge taken under SFAS No.  121 in the second quarter to
        reflect the impairment in unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company
        does not anticipate incurring significant additional losses from these
        joint ventures in the future.


        MORTGAGE BANKING
        Interest income and interest expense remained relatively flat in the
        second quarter of 1996 compared to the mortgage banking's performance
        in the same quarter a year ago.  For the first six months of 1996,
        interest income from mortgage banking declined by $.6 million and
        related interest expense dropped by $.6 million from the same period of
        1995.  The amounts for the six month period decreased primarily due to
        the decline in balances of outstanding mortgage-backed securities and
        related collateralized mortgage obligations from the prior year's
        period, stemming from both regularly scheduled monthly principal
        amortization and prepayment activity of mortgage collateral.  Interest
        income and expense are expected to continue to decline as the
        mortgage-backed securities and related collateralized mortgage
        obligations pay off at approximately the same rate.

        Other mortgage banking revenues increased by $1.5 million to $4.8
        million in the second quarter of 1996 from $3.3 million in the prior
        year's second quarter.  For the first half of 1996, other mortgage
        banking revenues totaled $7.8 million, an increase of $3.3 million from
        $4.5 million in the prior year's period.  These increases





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
     were mainly the result of higher gains on the sale of servicing rights due
     to a higher volume of mortgage originations and a more favorable mix of
     fixed to variable rate loans.

     General and administrative expenses associated with mortgage banking
     increased to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 1996 from $1.3 million
     in the prior year's second quarter.  For the six-month period, these
     expenses were $3.0 million in 1996 and $2.4 million in 1995.  The increase
     in general and administrative expenses in 1996 resulted from higher
     mortgage production levels, due to the increase in domestic unit
     deliveries, partially offset by the benefit of cost reduction programs.


     INCOME TAXES
     Income taxes for the quarter ended May 31, 1996 consisted of an income tax
     benefit of $55.4 million compared to income tax expense of $2.3 million in
     the prior year's second quarter.  For the first six months of 1996, the
     income tax benefit totaled $53.1 million compared to $2.5 million of
     income tax expense in the same period of 1995.  The tax benefits
     established in the three and six month periods of 1996 reflected the
     pretax losses reported by the Company as a result of the SFAS No. 121
     charge recorded in the second quarter of 1996.  The income tax amounts
     represented effective income tax rates of approximately 36% and 37% in
     1996 and 1995, respectively.


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate
     cash to fund its operating and investing activities.  Historically, the
     Company has funded its construction and mortgage banking concerns with
     internally generated operating results and external sources of debt and
     equity financing.  For the six months ended May 31, 1996, net cash used
     for operating, investing and financing activities totaled $10.4 million
     compared to $24.5 million used in the first half of 1995.

     The Company's operating activities for the first six months of 1996
     provided cash of $144.6 million compared to $91.1 million used during the
     first six months of 1995.  The sources of operating cash for the six
     months ended May 31, 1996, were a reduction in inventories totaling $78.3
     million, excluding $15.4 million of inventories acquired through seller
     financing, a reduction in receivables of $78.7 million and various
     non-cash items, including a $170.8 million non-cash charge for impairment
     of long-lived assets, offsetting the net loss of $94.4 million (which
     included the charge associated with implementation of SFAS No. 121)
     recorded for the first half of 1996.  Uses of cash during the first six
     months included a $35.1 million change in deferred taxes and a $60.2
     million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
     liabilities.  During the second quarter, excluding the acquisition of
     Rayco and the charge taken in connection with the adoption of SFAS No.
     121, inventories decreased primarily in the United States, as the Company
     began to execute its debt reduction strategy in 1996, including an
     aggressive asset sale program.  The reduction in receivables mainly
     related to a decrease in mortgage origination volume in the second quarter
     of 1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1995, resulting in a lower
     balance of mortgages held under commitment of sale.

     Operating activities for the first six months of 1995 used cash for a net
     investment of $91.4 million in inventories, excluding $23.5 million of
     inventories acquired through seller financing, and to pay down $39.9
     million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.  The
     use of cash was partially offset by six months' earnings of $4.3 million,
     a reduction in receivables of $54.8 million and various noncash items
     deducted from net income.  Inventories increased in 1995 mainly due to the
     Company's domestic expansion.  The reduction in receivables related
     primarily to a decrease in mortgage origination volume in the second
     quarter of 1995 compared to the fourth quarter of 1994.

     Cash used by investing activities totaled $79.5 million in the first six
     months of 1996 compared to $1.0 million provided in the year-earlier
     period.  In the first half of 1996, $80.6 million of cash was used for the
     purchase of Rayco, acquired on March 1, 1996 for a total of $104.5
     million, including cash to pay off the debt assumed.  In addition, cash of
     $4.9 million was used for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and
     $5.2 million was used for other investing activities.  Partially
     offsetting these uses was $11.5 million in proceeds received from
     mortgage-backed securities which were principally used to pay down the
     collateralized mortgage obligations





                                       14
<PAGE>   15
        for which the mortgage-backed securities had served as collateral.  In
        the first half of 1995, proceeds of $5.1 million received from
        mortgage-backed securities were partially offset by $3.1 million of
        cash used for other investing activities.

        Financing activities in the first half of 1996 used $75.4 million of
        cash compared to $65.6 million provided in the same period of 1995.  In
        the first six months of 1996, cash was used for net payments on
        borrowings of $54.1 million, reflecting the Company's progress on its
        debt reduction strategy; payments on collateralized mortgage
        obligations of $10.9 million, the funds for which were provided by
        receipts on mortgage-backed securities; and cash dividend payments of
        $10.3 million.  The mandatory conversion of 6.5 million outstanding
        depositary shares into shares of common stock was completed on April 1,
        1996 and will reduce cash flow required for future dividends by
        approximately $2.0 million per quarter.  Financing activities for the
        six months ended May 31, 1995 resulted in net cash inflows due mainly to
        $80.9 million in net proceeds from borrowings, partially offset by
        payments on collateralized mortgage obligations of $5.1 million; and
        $9.8 million of cash dividend payments.

        In connection with the acquisition of Rayco, the Company amended its
        existing domestic unsecured revolving credit agreement with various
        banks which increased its initial borrowing capacity thereunder to $630
        million from $500 million.  The additional $130 million of financing
        obtained by the Company consisted of a $110 million term loan facility,
        used to finance the acquisition and to refinance existing indebtedness
        of Rayco, and a $20 million revolving credit facility to be used for
        general working capital requirements.  The amendment to the Company's
        credit facility is set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan
        Agreement, dated February 28, 1996, which provides for a maximum
        repayment term of eighteen months for the additional $130 million of
        borrowing capacity.  Despite borrowings of $104.5 million in the second
        quarter to acquire Rayco, the Company's debt totaled $679.6 million at
        May 31, 1996, $12.3 million less than the balance at the end of the
        first quarter of 1996, reflecting progress in the Company's aggressive
        debt reduction program.  Key elements of the Company's debt reduction
        program include an increased emphasis on contracting for sales prior to
        construction ("pre sales") rather than on sales of inventory or "spec"
        homes, stringent control of production inventory, a focus on reducing
        standing inventory, and an aggressive land asset sale program. The debt
        reduction program is intended to reduce the Company's indebtedness in
        order to assist in restoring financial leverage (as measured by a debt
        to total capital ratio) to the Company's targeted range of 50% to 60%
        over time.  The Company's ratio of debt to total capital was 68.4% at
        the end of the 1996 second quarter compared to 62.6% at the end of the
        1996 first quarter before the added leverage in conjunction with the
        acquisition of Rayco and the reduction in equity as a result of the
        non-cash charge taken for the implementation of SFAS No. 121.

        Under the Company's revised $630 million domestic unsecured revolving
        credit facility, which contains a $200 million sublimit for the
        Company's mortgage banking operations, a total of $274.5 million was
        available for future use as of May 31, 1996.  In addition to the $200
        million sublimit, all of which was available for the mortgage banking
        operation's use at May 31, 1996, the Company's mortgage banking
        operations had commitments of $120 million on the asset-backed
        commercial paper facility.  Of the total $120 million potentially
        available under this facility, $23.0 million was available at May 31,
        1996.  The Company's French unsecured financing agreements had in the
        aggregate $28.5 million available at May 31, 1996.

        The Company believes it has adequate resources and sufficient credit
        line facilities to satisfy its current and reasonably anticipated
        future requirements for funds to acquire capital assets and land, to
        construct homes, to fund its mortgage banking operations and to meet
        any other needs of its business, both on a short and long-term basis.

        The Company's residential backlog as of May 31, 1996, which included
        the Company's first quarter of Rayco's operations, consisted of 3,497
        units, representing aggregate future revenues of approximately $497.2
        million compared to 1,651 units representing $275.6 million a year
        earlier.  Excluding the effects of the Rayco acquisition, unit and
        dollar backlog as of May 31, 1996 rose 21.0% and 30.3%, respectively,
        from May 31, 1995 levels.  The Company's operations in the United
        States, including Rayco, accounted for approximately $419.7 million of
        backlog value on 3,133 units at May 31, 1996 compared to $225.3 million
        on 1,391 units at May 31, 1995.  Backlog in California totaled
        approximately $182.7 million on 947 units at May 31, 1996 compared to
        $149.8 million on 859 units at May 31, 1995, reflecting the 12.9%
        improvement in net orders in





                                       15
<PAGE>   16
     the second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995.  The Company's other United
     States operations, excluding Rayco, demonstrated year-over-year growth in
     backlog levels with backlog at May 31, 1996 increasing to approximately
     $99.0 million on 686 units from $75.5 million on 532 units at May 31,
     1995.

     In France, the residential backlog value at May 31, 1996 totaled
     approximately $72.2 million on 337 units and $48.7 million on 243 units a
     year earlier.  Backlog levels in France were improved at May 31, 1996 as
     net orders increased 79.9% to 241 in the second quarter of 1996 from 134
     net orders for the same period a year ago.  Backlog associated with
     consolidated commercial development activities in France was valued at
     approximately $.6 million at May 31, 1996 compared to $25.6 million at May
     31, 1995, reflecting continued reduced opportunities in the French
     commercial market.

     In Mexico, the Company has yet to deliver its first homes but has recorded
     its first net orders, generating 27 orders during the six months ended May
     31, 1996.  However, the new home market in Mexico remains seriously
     hampered by the decline in the value of the peso and the economic
     recession created by the devaluation.  The Mexican recession has slowed an
     already complex regulatory process and has heightened consumer concerns
     about new home purchases.  In spite of troubled conditions, demand for
     housing in Mexico remains substantial with the Company expecting to record
     its first deliveries in Mexico in 1996.  Nevertheless, the Company
     continues to closely monitor the unsettled economic environment and
     remains cautious regarding these operations and continues to reassess its
     level of activity in Mexico and the desirability of expanding its market
     presence there.

     Substantially all of the homes included in the Company's residential
     backlog are expected to be delivered in 1996; however, cancellations could
     occur, particularly if market conditions deteriorate or mortgage interest
     rates increase, thereby decreasing backlog and related future revenues.

      The Company made progress on its key business strategies during the
     second quarter of 1996 and intends to maintain its focus on these
     strategies during the balance of the year.  Progress made in the second
     quarter of 1996 included the Company's disposition of its Canadian
     operations under a definitive agreement pursuant to which it sold all of
     the issued and outstanding shares of its Canadian subsidiary.  Proceeds of
     $9.5 million received from the sale were used to reduce the Company's
     debt.  As the Company had been slowly winding down its operations in
     Canada over the past few years, the impact of the sale on the Company's
     financial position and results of operations was not significant.

     Despite the progress achieved in the 1996 second quarter and the high
     backlog levels, the Company is cautiously optimistic regarding the
     remainder of the year.  Recent order rates have weakened, with
     Company-wide net orders, excluding net orders from Rayco, in the first
     five weeks of the third quarter down 24.9% from the same period a year
     ago.  Domestic net orders, excluding Rayco, decreased 24.4% during the
     first five weeks of the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period
     a year ago, reflecting a 29.7% decrease in California net orders and an
     8.4% decrease in other United States net orders.  In addition, net orders
     in France during the first five weeks of the 1996 third quarter were down
     31.3% from corresponding period last year.  The recent decrease in net
     orders and the potential for interest rate increases by the Federal
     Reserve Board, along with other external factors, contribute to the
     caution in the Company's outlook for the future.

   * Backlog amounts for the current quarter have been adjusted to reflect the
     acquisition of Rayco and disposition of Canadian operations.  Therefore,
     prior quarter backlog amounts combined with current quarter sales and
     delivery activity will not equal ending backlog for the current quarter.

__________________________________

(1) Each of the 1,300 Series B convertible preferred shares is convertible into
    five shares of common stock.  On the mandatory conversion date of April 1,
    1996, each of the Company s 6,500 depositary shares, each representing 1/5
    of a Series B convertible preferred share was converted into one share of
    the Company's common stock.

(2) If, for purposes of calculating primary and fully diluted earnings per
    share, the Series B convertible preferred shares were excluded from the
    weighted average shares outstanding and the related dividends deducted from
    net income, the computations would have resulted in both a primary and fully
    diluted loss per share of $2.80 and $.02 for the six months ended May 31,
    1996 and 1995, respectively.  The same computation would have resulted in
    both a primary and fully diluted loss per share of $2.68 for the three
    months ended May 31, 1996 and primary and fully diluted earnings per share
    of $.04 for the three months ended May 31, 1995.
   
(3) Fully diluted earnings per share is not disclosed in the Company's
    consolidated financial statements since the maximum dilutive effect is not
    material.
