                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Administrative Committee, as Plan Administrator of the
Kaufman and Broad Home Corporation
Amended and Restated 401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Kaufman and Broad Home Corporation Amended and Restated 401(k) Savings Plan
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1997
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1997 financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The financial statements of the Kaufman and Broad Home Corporation
        Amended and Restated 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") are prepared on an
        accrual basis. Investment income is recorded as earned. Distributions of
        the Plan benefits to withdrawing participants are recorded when
        distributed. Expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are
        paid by Kaufman and Broad Home Corporation (the "Company" and "Plan
        Sponsor").

        The financial statements are based on information provided to the
        Company and certified as complete and accurate by Fidelity Trust
        Management Company (the "Trustee"). Certain adjustments have been made
        to the financial statements provided by the Trustee in order for them to
        conform to the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial
        statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
        requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
        amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
        Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Included in investments are amounts allocated to accounts of persons who
        have requested payment of their account balances due to termination,
        retirement, or death. Such amounts are classified as components of net
        assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 1997 and 1996 in the
        amounts of $1,237,800 and $744,000 respectively.

2.      DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORM 5500

3.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

        The Plan is a defined contribution plan whereby salaried employees of
        the Company are eligible to enroll in the Plan on January 1, April 1,
        July 1 or October 1 following the completion of 1,000 hours of service
        with the Company computed from the date of employment, or full-time
        employment for six months.

        Participants electing to participate in the Plan may contribute up to
        10% of their annual compensation, on a pretax basis, by means of salary
        reduction. Participants may also contribute up to an additional 9% of
        their annual compensation, on an after tax basis, also by means of
        salary reduction. All contributions must be in whole percentages. Pretax
        contributions are eligible for tax deferred treatment up to the limits
        provided by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as adjusted for cost of living.

        Unless otherwise elected by the Board of Directors, the Company will
        match the participant's pretax contribution up to 6% of annual base
        salary (determined without regard to bonuses and a maximum of $50,000 of
        regular earnings for commission employees). Company matching
        contributions and related investment income vest to participants over
        five years.

        Plan assets are held and invested by Fidelity Investments. Plan
        participants may direct the investment of their funds among one or more
        of the following funds:

                Strong Growth Fund is a growth mutual fund. It tries to increase
                the value of investments over the long term through capital
                growth by investing primarily in stocks that the advisor
                believes have above average growth prospects, including common

                Templeton Developing Markets Trust I is an international growth
                fund that invests in emerging or developing markets. The fund is
                managed by Templeton Asset Management Ltd. - Hong Kong Branch
                and distributed by Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc.

                Kaufman and Broad Common Stock Fund allows participants to
                contribute money which Fidelity uses to purchase shares of the
                common stock of the Company.

                Magellan Fund is a growth fund. It seeks long-term capital
                appreciation by investing in the stocks of both well-known and
                lesser known companies with potentially above-average growth
                potential and a correspondingly higher level of risk. Securities
                may be of foreign, domestic, and multinational companies.

                Contrafund is a growth fund. It seeks long-term capital
                appreciation by investing mainly in the securities of companies
                believed to be out of favor or undervalued. The fund invests in
                domestic and foreign common stocks and stocks and securities
                convertible into common stock, but it may purchase other
                securities that may produce capital appreciation.

                Equity-Income Fund is a growth and income fund. It invests
                primarily in income-producing equity securities (common and
                preferred stocks) but can also invest in bonds and convertible
                securities.

                Intermediate Bond Fund is an income fund. It seeks a high
                current income by investing primarily in investment-grade
                fixed-income obligations rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB
                or better by Standard & Poor's, including corporate bonds,
                mortgage securities, bank obligations and U.S. government and
                agency securities. The fund's dollar-weighted average maturity
                ranges between three and ten years.

                Overseas Fund is an international growth fund. It seeks
                long-term capital growth primarily through investments in
                foreign securities. These investments may include common stock
                and securities convertible into common stock as well as debt
                instruments. Normally, at least 65% of the fund's total assets
                will be invested in securities of issuers from at least three
                different countries outside of North America.

                Asset Manager is an asset allocation fund. It seeks high total
                return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its
                assets among domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, and short-term
                and money market instruments. The fund can allocate its assets
                within the following investment parameters: 30-70% in stocks,
                20-60% in bonds, and 0-50% in short-term/money market class.

                Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund is a growth fund. It seeks
                capital appreciation and invests mainly in U.S. and foreign
                low-priced stocks that may be undervalued, overlooked or out of
                favor. Generally, "low-priced" is considered $35 or less at time
                of purchase.

                Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio is a money market
                fund, which seeks as high a level of current income as is
                consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. It
                invests in high quality, short-term money market securities of
                U.S. and foreign issuers. An investment in the fund is not
                insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

        Terminating participants may elect (with spousal consent) to withdraw
        their contributions, vested Company contributions and related investment
        income as a lump sum payment. In the absence of a valid election, the
        participant's vested benefits will be distributed in the form of a
        Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified Preretirement
        Survivor Annuity, or in a lump sum if the actuarial equivalent is not
        more than $3,500.

        Nonvested Company contributions are forfeited and used by the Company to
        reduce future employer contributions.

        The Plan allows participant loans and hardship withdrawals subject to
        certain limitations.

        In the event of Plan termination, benefits of all affected participants,
        if not already so, shall become 100% vested and nonforfeitable.

4.      INVESTMENTS

        At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Plan had $32,760,008 and $26,599,040,
        respectively, invested in a variety of funds as directed by individual
        participants (see Note 3). These investment funds are valued at fair
        value, which is determined daily by Fidelity through reference to
        published market information using closing prices on the valuation date.
        The cost of the investments is determined by Fidelity. The Plan had
        loans outstanding to participants of $891,406 and $849,110 at December
        31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

        The value of the Plan's invested assets (including investments bought,
        sold and held during the year) appreciated by $3,408,714 and $600,474
        during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, as

6.     TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

        The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies, in form,
        under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, the
        underlying trust is, therefore, exempt from federal income taxes under
        Section 501(a) of the Code. Once qualified, the Plan is required to
        operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The
        Company is not aware of any events which would cause the Plan to become
        disqualified in operation.

7.      YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)

        The Plan Sponsor has developed a plan to modify its internal information
        technology to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting
        critical data processing systems. The project also includes determining
        whether third party service providers have reasonable plans in place to
        become year 2000 compliant. The Plan Sponsor currently expects the
        project to be substantially complete by early 1999. The Plan Sponsor
        does not expect this project to have a significant effect on plan
        operations.
