        The volume increase  of 69.3% (18.8% excluding Milburn) in  the quarter
   ended November 30,  1993 compared to the  same period in the prior  year was
   attributable  to  the improved  housing markets  in  the Phoenix  and Denver
   areas, the Acquisition and increased deliveries in California as a result of
   the  Company's aggressive  marketing  in that  location.   The  increase  in
   average sales price  was primarily due to deliveries in  California, most of
   which  were in  the move-up  market.   The quarter  ended November  30, 1993
   results  include 220 deliveries from Milburn  with an average sales price of
   $108,600 per home, resulting in incremental revenue of $23,891,000.

                                      ========             ========

        The  increase in backlog at November 30, 1993 in Phoenix and Denver was
   due to the  improved housing  markets in both  locations, which the  Company
   believes  resulted  primarily from  improved  economic  conditions in  these
   markets and lower mortgage interest  rates.  The increase in the  California
   backlog is attributable to the marketing incentives and discounts offered in
   fiscal 1994 to  sell the remaining inventory.  The  aggregate sales value of
   new contracts  signed increased 58% as a result of the Austin acquisition in
   the three months  ended November  30, 1993 to  $83,270,000 representing  671
   homes  (including $22,477,000 in Austin representing  206 homes) as compared
   with  $52,796,000 representing 477 homes for the three months ended November
   30, 1992.    The significant  volume  increase in  Phoenix  resulted in  the
   Company selling out of  several subdivisions faster than anticipated.   This
   resulted in fewer homes available  for sale in the second fiscal  quarter of
   1994 compared  to the same  period in  fiscal 1993.   The Company will  have
   additional  new subdivisions  opening in  the third  and fourth  quarters of
   fiscal 1994.

        Gross  profit from  home  sales was  18.4% (20.9%  excluding California
   operations) for the  three months ended November 30,  1993 compared to 19.5%
   (20.8% excluding  California operations)  for the corresponding  fiscal 1993
   period.  The gross profit on  the Milburn deliveries was 20.2% (23.6% before
   purchase  accounting adjustments).  Gross  profit from home  sales was 18.4%
   (20.8% excluding California  operations) for the  six months ended  November
   30, 1993 compared to  19.2% (20.5% excluding California operations)  for the
   six  months ended November 30, 1992.  The Southern California market remains
   very weak due to  difficult economic conditions, concerns about  home values
   and  low consumer  confidence.   Accordingly,  the Company  has aggressively
   marketed  its California homes  by offering sales  incentives and discounts.
   California's depressed market will continue to have a negative impact on the
   Company's  earnings since  volume is  not sufficient  to offset  general and
   administrative expenses and interest which is expensed and not capitalized.

        SG&A expenses for  each home delivered were $13,665 and  $11,952 in the
   second quarter of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively and $12,613 and $11,877
   in the first six months of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The increase
   in total  SG&A expenses for  the quarter and  six months ended  November 30,
   1993 was due to higher variable marketing costs (primarily sales commissions
   and model furniture amortization) due to the increase in the number of homes
   delivered,  higher salaries and higher customer service costs.  In addition,
   the  current  fiscal  quarter  and   six  months  included  $3,471,000   and
   $4,645,000, respectively  of SG&A  expenses  from Milburn  and $195,000  and
   $260,000, respectively related  to the  amortization of the  excess of  cost
   over  related net  assets acquired.   The  Company capitalizes  certain SG&A
   expenses  for  homebuilding.   Accordingly,  total SG&A  costs  incurred for
   homebuilding were $11,157,000 and  $19,979,000 for the three and  six months
   ended  November  30, 1993  compared to  $5,809,000  and $12,091,000  for the
   corresponding fiscal 1993 periods.

        Interest,  net for homebuilding  was $1,362,000 and  $1,614,000 for the
   three months  ended November 30, 1993  and 1992, respectively.   For the six
   month period ended  November 30,  1993, interest, net  for homebuilding  was
   $2,519,000  compared with $2,785,000 for  the six months  ended November 30,
   1992.   The fiscal quarter includes  $68,000 of interest,  net from Milburn.
   The  Company  capitalizes  certain   interest  costs  for  its  homebuilding
   operations and includes such capitalized interest in cost of home sales when
   the  related units are delivered.   Accordingly, total  interest incurred by
   the Company was $3,324,000 and $6,498,000 for the three and six months ended
   November 30, 1993 respectively compared to $3,154,000 and $5,867,000 for the
   three and six months ended November 30, 1992, respectively.

        The    Company's   pre-tax   profit    from   homebuilding   (excluding
   unconsolidated  joint ventures) for the  six months ended  November 30, 1993
   was $10,077,000  compared to $5,587,000  for the corresponding  period ended
   November 30,  1992.  The  increase in  pre-tax profit was  due primarily  to
   greater  volume  in   Phoenix  and    Milburn's  results  which  contributed
   $2,430,000 of pre-tax profit.

   Mortgage Banking

        The  Company's mortgage  banking operations  are conducted  through its
   wholly-owned  subsidiaries  American  Western Mortgage  Company  ("AWMC") in
   Arizona and Miltex Management,  Inc. ("MMI") in Texas.  The  following table
   summarizes  operating   information  for  the  Company's   mortgage  banking

        Revenues  from mortgage banking operations increased in the quarter and
   six months  ended November 30, 1993  primarily due to the  Acquisition.  The
   amounts  for  the  quarter   ended  November  30,  1993  include   502  loan
   originations  and $1,243,000 and $526,000 of  revenues and operating income,
   respectively,  from  MMI.   The  Company  maintains a  portion  of the  loan
   servicing  and,  at   November  30,  1993,   the  servicing  portfolio   was
   approximately $60,570,000.

     Consolidated Operations

        Net  income was $6,464,000  ($1.19 per share, $1.03  fully diluted) for
   the six  months ended  November 30,  1993 compared  to $3,585,000  ($.70 per
   share, $.66 fully diluted) for the period  ended November 30, 1992.  The six
   months ended November  30, 1993 included  $2,052,000 of net income  from the
   results of Milburn.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

        The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset
   turnover,  land  acquisition  and  inventory  balances.    The  Company  has
   financed,  and expects  to continue  to finance,  its working  capital needs
   through funds generated by operations and borrowings.  Funds for future land
   acquisitions and construction costs are expected to be provided primarily by
   cash flows from operations and future borrowings as permitted under  the 12%
   Senior  Note Indenture.   At  November 30, 1993,  the Company  had unsecured
   lines  of  credit  from  two  lenders  for  aggregate  borrowings (excluding
   mortgage warehouse lines) of up to $15,000,000.  At November 30, 1993, there
   were no  amounts outstanding under its credit lines.  In connection with the
   Acquisition, the Company  assumed a  $25,000,000 secured  revolving line  of
   credit.  At November 30, 1993,  there were no amounts outstanding under this
   credit line.  The Company's revolving lines of credit bear interest at rates
   ranging from  prime plus 1/2% to  prime plus 1%.  The  Company believes that
   amounts  generated  from  operations  and such  additional  borrowings  will
   provide funds adequate to  finance its homebuilding activities and  meet its
   debt  service requirements.    The Company  does  not have  any  significant
   current commitments for capital expenditures.

        AWMC has a warehouse line of credit for $15,000,000 which is guaranteed
   by the  Company.   In  addition, MMI  has a  warehouse  line of  credit  for
   $10,000,000.  Pursuant to the warehouse lines of credit,  the Company issues
   drafts to fund  its mortgage loans.   The amount represented  by a draft  is
   drawn  on the  warehouse line  of  credit when  the draft  is presented  for
   payment.    At November  30, 1993,  no  amounts were  outstanding  under the
   warehouse lines of credit and the amount of funding drafts that had not been
   presented for payment was $4,523,000.  The Company believes that these lines
   are sufficient for its mortgage banking operations.

        On  August 5,  1992,  the  Company completed  the sale  of  $75,000,000
   principal amount  of its 12% Senior Notes  due 1999.  The  Senior Notes were
   issued at 98.85% of par and are not redeemable until 1997.  The Company used
   a portion of the net proceeds thereof to repay all amounts outstanding under
   its lines of  credit.  On September 4, 1992 the  Company used $16,817,000 of
   these proceeds to redeem its 12-3/4% Senior Notes.

        On July  29, 1993 the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding capital
   stock of  Milburn for approximately $26.3  million ($20 million in  cash and
   $6.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock).

        In  November, the  Company  completed  a public  offering  of 1,704,400
   shares of  Common  Stock at  $21.50 per  share.   The  net proceeds  of  the
   offering  (approximately $34,219,000)  were  used  to  redeem the  Series  A
   Preferred  Stock and to reduce temporarily all amounts outstanding under the
   Company's  revolving lines of credit and mortgage banking warehouse lines of
   credit.

      B.          The Loan  is  secured by,  among other  things, the  security

        2.        Guarantor consents to the  modification of the Loan Documents
   and all other matters in the Agreement.

        3.        Guarantor fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges
   Bank and  its successors,  assigns, directors, officers,  employees, agents,

   their terms against Borrower and the undersigned, respectively.

        7.        Guarantor agrees that Guarantor has no claims, counterclaims,
