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

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's principal cash requirements are for the acquisition, development,
construction and marketing of its residential projects.  The need to stage the
acquisition and use of raw materials (ie. land) and the need to construct
community facilities prior to the start of home construction requires
homebuilders such as the Company to commit working capital for longer periods
than many traditional manufacturing companies.  The Company uses substantial
amounts of cash during the construction of homes.  This cash is generally
obtained from bank borrowings, available cash flow from operations and
partners' contributions to joint ventures.

To date, the Company has principally used secured recourse and non-recourse
bank financing and financing provided by CalPERS for acquistion, development
and construction, with borrowings for individual projects or phases of projects
secured by such projects.  CalPERS has committed to providing construction
financing for two projects (with 150 planned units). The Company is not
currently discussing any further projects with CalPERS.

The Company's principal source of bank financing is with Bank One, Arizona, NA
("Bank One").  Currently, the Company has in place a $25 million recourse
secured line of credit facility (obtained in May of 1994) with Bank One.  At
May 31, 1995, the Company had utilized $4.5 million of this facility.
Additionally, the Company  has in place a $25 million non-recourse secured line
of credit facility (obtained in September of 1994) with Bank One.  At May 31,
1995, the Company had utilized $12.9 million of this facility.  The Company is
currently negotiating increases in their credit facilities with Bank One.
These negotiations, if successful, would increase the Company's total
contingent availability under all credit facilities with Bank One to $90 
million. The Company and/or its subsidiaries also have similar bank financing
facilities in place.

For the three months ended May 31, 1995, the Company closed the sale of 245
homes and 3 land lots.  The Company, at May 31, 1995, had 466 homes under
construction.  This construction activity is currently being financed out of
Company cash, including proceeds from the sale in May, 1994 of $100 million of
12 3/4% Senior Notes and Warrants (the "Offering"), bank financing and the
existing joint ventures with CalPERS.  In order to maintain sufficient 
liquidity, the Company will continue utilizing the bank financing to cover 
anticipated needs in excess of Company cash for this level of construction 
activity.

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

In June of 1995, the Company named Mr. Anthony M. Laughlin as Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Mr. Laughlin headed the Company's
internal audit function from 1994 until assuming his current position in June
of 1995.  Prior to joining the Company in 1994, Mr. Laughlin had provided
accounting and consulting services to the Company.

Mr. Gregory R. Petersen served as the Company's Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer from 1990 until leaving the Company in
June, 1995.

                              BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $12.2 million at May 31, 1995 from $22.4
million at February 28, 1995, due to new land acquisitions, new construction
activity and the bond interest payment made May 1, 1995.

Property and equipment increased to $6.3 million at May 31, 1995 from $5.9
million at February 28, 1995 due to the Company's improvements of a 45,389
square foot building in Newport Beach, California, which serves as the
Company's corporate headquarters.

Accounts payable and other liabilities decreased to $17.7 million at May 31,
1995, from $21.5 million at February 28, 1995.  This decrease principally 
represents the payment of accrued bond interest on May 1, 1995.

Notes payable declined to $24.0 million at May 31, 1995 from $29.4 million at
February 28, 1995.  The decline resulted from the payoff of notes with proceeds
from home closings.

Minority interest declined to $1.9 million at May 31, 1995 from $3.5 million at
February 28, 1995.  This decline was the result of distributions made from
joint ventures which were substantially complete at May 31, 1995.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1996 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1995:

Revenues from housing sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 were $31.7 million and $30.6 million, respectively,
reflecting an increase of $1.1 million from the corresponding period of fiscal
1995.  This 3.6% increase was due to increased home closings.  Home closings
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were 245 versus 193 homes during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995. The difference between the magnitude of the increase in
home closings and the increase in revenues is the result of a lower average
sales price per unit.

Revenues from the sales of land lots for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
decreased to $733 thousand from $1.2 million for the first quarter of the prior
year.  The land lot sales during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 represents
the sale of a parcel in Tarzana, California, as well the sale of 2 land lots in
La Quinta, California.

Cost of home sales increased to $26.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 from $24.5 million for the comparable period of the prior year.  The
increase was primarily due to the increase in home closings.





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   12

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 totaled $6.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million over the corresponding
period of fiscal 1995.  This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of
Clark Wilson Homes, Inc. ("Wilson") whose selling, general and administrative
expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $1.7 million.

Minority interest expense declined to $83 thousand for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 as compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of the prior
year.  The decrease was due to reduced activity in the Company's joint venture
projects.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company posted a net loss of $273
thousand for the three months ended May 31, 1995 as compared to a net income of
$3.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 1994.  The net income of $3.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 included $3.1 million of 
extraordinary income from the retirement of debt at less than its face value.

For the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company recorded 324 net orders (homes
contracted for sales less cancellations) on home sales which was 164 homes
greater than in the comparable quarter ended May 31, 1994.  The Company had 511
homes in its backlog (homes under contract but not closed) at May 31, 1995,
which was an increase of 239 homes over the Company's backlog at May 31, 1994.
The increase is due to increased construction starts and the acquisition of
Clark Wilson Homes, Inc.
