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


                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the quarter ended May 31, 1994, the Company completed the private
placement of $100 million of unsecured senior notes with warrants for five
percent of the Company's common stock (the "Offering").  The notes are due and
payable in eight years and carry a coupon rate of 12.75% payable semi-annually
in May and November.

With the proceeds of the Offering, the Company improved its liquidity, repaid
the majority of its debt, including resolving the last of the defaulted loans
from the period of RTC control of the Company and obtained a vehicle for the
rapid acceleration of construction activity in both the California and Nevada
markets.  This financing also provides the Company with the capital necessary
to acquire new properties.

In addition to the Offering, the Company further enhanced its liquidity by
obtaining a new $25 million secured line of credit facility with Bank One,
Arizona, NA.  This line of credit can be utilized in both California and
Nevada.  The Company has the option to use this facility should it require
additional resources to fund the Company's growth in the near term.

The Company at May 31, 1994 had construction underway on 362 homes.  This level
of activity is expected to increase as the Company brings projects previously
on hold into production.  In addition, projects that were being funded on a
more conservative cash management basis will now be accelerated with this new
source of financing.

The Company expects that cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient
to cover the debt service on the Offering for the foreseeable future.


                             BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Cash and equivalents increased to $71.7 million at May 31, 1994 from $10.0
million at February 28, 1994 due to the proceeds from the Offering, net of debt
repayments.

Property and equipment increased to $3.4 million at May 31, 1994 from $159
thousand at February 28, 1994 due to the Company's acquisition of a 45,389
square foot building in Newport Beach, California, which will serve as its new
corporate headquarters.  The Company plans to occupy approximately 20,000
square feet with the balance leased to tenants.

Unamortized bond issuance costs of $5.4 million at May 31, 1994 represents the
cost of the Offering, net of amortization.





                                       5
<PAGE>   8
Notes payable declined to $10.0 million at May 31, 1994 from $34.7 million at
February 28, 1994.  The decline resulted from the payoff of notes with proceeds
of the Offering.  The remaining notes are secured by the La Quinta, California,
project and will be paid off on their maturity date which is January 8, 1995.

Minority interest declined to $2.8 million at May 31, 1994 from $14.0 million
at February 28, 1994.  This decline was the result of the Company paying off
joint venture construction and equity advances with proceeds of the Offering.

Additional paid-in-capital increased to $211.9 million at May 31, 1994 from
$210.4 million at February 28, 1994.  This increase represents the value of the
warrants issued in connection with the Offering.


                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter of Fiscal 1995 Compared With the First Quarter of Fiscal 1994:

Revenues from housing sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and the first
quarter of fiscal 1994 were $30.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively,
reflecting an increase of $27.0 million from the corresponding period of fiscal
1994.  The increase was due to increased home closings.  Home closings for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 were 193 versus 17 homes during the first quarter
of fiscal 1994.  Included in this amount were 137 homes closed by Durable
Homes, Inc. ("Durable") in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 totaled $4.5 million, an increase of $2.6 million from the corresponding
period of fiscal 1994.  This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of
Durable, whose selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter was
$1.9 million, and increased Company activity in California.

There was no interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  This
reflects a reduction of $276 thousand when compared to the corresponding period
of the prior year.  This decrease was due primarily to the increase in interest
capitalization on increased construction activity.

The Company posted an extraordinary gain from the retirement of a construction
loan and interest due thereon below book value.  The loan, which was previously
in default, was retired at a book gain of $4.7 million.  This gain translates
to an extraordinary gain of $3.1 million net of the tax effect.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company posted an after tax operating
profit of $867 thousand for the three months ended May 31, 1994.  This amount,
when added to the $3.1 million extraordinary gain from the resolution of
project financing, resulted in net income for the quarter of $3.9 million.





                                       6
<PAGE>   9
For the first quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company recorded 160 net orders (homes
contracted for sales less cancellations) on home sales which was 114 homes
greater than in the comparable quarter ended May 31, 1993.  The Company had 272
homes in its backlog (homes under contract but not closed) at May 31, 1994,
which was an increase of 151 homes over the Company's backlog at May 31, 1993.
