PULTE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($000's omitted)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pulte Corporation (the Company), and all of its significant subsidiaries. The
Company's continuing operations include its homebuilding (Pulte Home
Corporation) and financial services subsidiaries, which include ICM Mortgage
Corporation (ICM) and Pulte Financial Companies, Inc. (PFCI). The Company's
thrift subsidiary, First Heights Bank, fsb (First Heights), has been
classified as discontinued operations (See Note 2). The Company's direct
subsidiaries consist of PFCI and Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc. (PDCI).
PDCI's direct subsidiaries are Pulte Home Corporation (Pulte) and First
Heights. ICM is a direct subsidiary of Pulte.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.
Certain 1995 classifications have been changed to conform with the 1996
presentation.
Significant accounting policies
Interest Expense
The Company capitalizes interest cost into homebuilding inventories and
charges the interest to homebuilding interest expense when the related
inventories are closed.
Income per share
Income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are
determined using the treasury stock method.
Impact of recently issued accounting standards
On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which 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.
SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are
expected to be disposed of. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not
material to the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
2. Discontinued operations
During the fourth quarter of 1994, First Heights sold substantially all
of its bank branches and related liabilities (primarily deposits). Accordingly,
such operations are being presented as discontinued.

2. Discontinued operations -- (continued)
Revenues of the discontinued operations for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $3,304 and $7,540, respectively. For the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, thrift operations resulted in net
income of $1,972 and $3,893, respectively. Discounts of approximately $7,700
at March 31, 1996, are being amortized into income over the life of the
related FRF notes at a rate of approximately $1,200 per quarter. Additional
contingent gains related to possible income tax benefits, which could amount
to $90,000, have not been recognized for financial statement purposes because
of uncertainty of realization.
Assets of discontinued operations included in the consolidated balance
sheets at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were $153,028 and $156,617,
respectively. Related liabilities included in these same balance sheets were
$125,245 and $130,857, respectively.

6. Commitments and contingencies
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
On July 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District
Court, Eastern District of Michigan, by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) against the Company and its subsidiary PDCI and PDCI's
subsidiary First Heights.
The lawsuit seeks a declaration of rights under the assistance agreement
entered into between First Heights and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation (FSLIC). The FDIC is the successor to FSLIC. The FDIC and Pulte
disagree about the proper interpretation of provisions in the assistance
agreement which provide for sharing of certain tax benefits achieved in
connection with First Heights' 1988 acquisition from FSLIC, and First Heights'
ownership of, five failed Texas thrifts. The lawsuit also includes certain
other claims relating to the foregoing, including claims resulting from the
Company's and First Heights' amendment of a tax sharing and allocation
agreement between the Company and First Heights. The Company disputes the
FDIC's claims and believes that a proper interpretation of the assistance
agreement limits the FDIC's participation in the tax benefits to amounts
established on First Heights' books.
On September 8, 1995, the Company filed an answer and counter-claim in
this case. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and pursue its
counter-claims. While it is impossible to verify the precise amount requested
by the FDIC at this time, the Company believes that even if the FDIC were to
prevail in its claims, it would not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
7. Supplemental Guarantor Information
The Company has filed a universal shelf registration of up to $250,000
of debt or equity securities (of which $125,000 of 7.3% unsecured Senior Notes
were issued in October, 1995), and has previously issued $100,000, 7%, and
$115,000, 8.375%, unsecured Senior Notes. Such obligations to pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior
basis by Pulte, all of Pulte's wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries and
Builders' Supply & Lumber Co., Inc. which is a Pulte wholly-owned subsidiary
(collectively, the Guarantors). Such guarantees are full and unconditional.
The principal non-Guarantors include PDCI, the parent company of Pulte,
ICM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pulte, First Heights, and PFCI. See Note 1
for additional information on the Company's Guarantor and non-Guarantor
subsidiaries.

Supplemental combining financial information of the Company,
specifically including such information for the Guarantors, is presented
below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of
accounting. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not provided
because management has concluded that the segment information provides
sufficient detail to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets
held by and the operations of the combined groups.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(continued)
($000's omitted)
Homebuilding Operations--(continued)
Pulte conducts its domestic homebuilding operations through 39 markets
in 24 states which are organized into four operating companies -- Pulte Home
North (PHN), Pulte Home South (PHS), Pulte Home Central (PHC) and Pulte Home
West (PHW). No one individual market within the 39 markets represents more
than 10% of total Pulte net new orders, unit settlements or revenues during
the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Net new orders during the first quarter of 1996 increased by 32% to a
Company record 4,251 units, compared with the previous record of 3,223 units
for the first quarter of 1995. The Company's existing markets, as well as the
new markets entered during 1994 and early 1995, all contributed to the
positive first quarter net new order activity. In addition, all operating
companies posted positive year-over-year net new order comparisons for the
fourth consecutive quarter. Both PHS and PHC experienced very strong growth in
net new orders due to continued positive response to new product offerings,
combined with favorable contributions from their new markets. The increased
net new order pace resulted in a record backlog at March 31, 1996 of 5,218
units ($876,000) compared with 3,483 units ($582,000) at March 31, 1995.
Settlements during the first quarter of 1996 also increased by 35% over
the same period in 1995, to a first quarter record 2,732 units. All operating
companies recorded positive comparisons over the prior year first quarter,
including PHN, despite significant construction delays as a result of the
adverse weather conditions along the east coast. The Company's strong first
quarter settlement activity was supported by the record year end backlog at
December 31, 1995.
The average selling price during the first quarter of 1996 was $151,
comparable to the first quarter of 1995, but lower than the average selling
price of $155 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in the
average selling price is due to changes in product mix, primarily resulting
from weather related delays in the Company's east coast markets. PHN closed
more lower priced townhouse and condominium products and PHS moved toward more
affordable product in the Carolina markets.
Gross profit margins were 14.6% for the first quarter of 1996, compared
with 14.5% in the first quarter of 1995 and 14.9% during the fourth quarter of
1995. Gross profit margins continued to be unfavorably impacted by competitive
market conditions, primarily in PHN and PHW.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7,078 compared
to the first quarter of 1995. However, as a percent of sales revenue, selling,
general and administrative expenses improved to 12% versus 13.8% in the first
quarter of 1995. The improvement in selling, general and administrative
expense leverage reflects the positive contributions of our new markets as
they continue to mature and operate more efficiently.
Other expense, net includes gains on land sales, the pre-tax results of
Builders' Supply & Lumber Co., Inc. (BSL) and other homebuilding-related
expenses. Other expense, net was favorably impacted during the first quarter
of 1996, compared with the same period in 1995, due primarily to the
recognition of gains on the sale of excess land in PHS, combined with improved
results for BSL compared to a year ago.

</TABLE>
ICM had pre-tax income of $457 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
compared with $6,231 for the same period in 1995.
During the first quarter of 1995, ICM recorded pre-tax gains on sales of
its core mortgage servicing portfolio of $6,995. In addition, as part of its
normal operations, in the first quarter of 1995 ICM recorded gains on sale of
non-core mortgage servicing rights of $2,293. The sale of the core mortgage
servicing portfolio and the ongoing sale of servicing rights on a flow basis
are the result of repositioning ICM to concentrate on its primary business of
providing mortgage financing for Pulte's homebuyers. ICM expects to continue
to sell mortgage servicing rights as part of normal operations on a three to
five month lag from the time of origination.
During the first quarter of 1996, pricing and marketing gains increased
by $4,937 compared with the first quarter of 1995. Effective July 1, 1995, ICM
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, Accounting
for Mortgage Servicing Rights. Under SFAS No. 122, the costs associated with
originating mortgage servicing rights are recognized as an asset, shifting the
gains from sale of servicing rights to sale of mortgage loans.

Mortgage Banking Operations--(continued)
Mortgage origination volume for the first quarter of 1996 increased 13%
to $264,546 compared with the first quarter of 1995, primarily due to
increased volume for Pulte customers as ICM continued its emphasis on
expanding in Pulte's existing and new markets. ICM continues to hedge its
mortgage pipeline in the normal course of its business and there has been no
change in the Company's strategy or use of derivative financial instruments in
this regard.
Net interest income decreased by $742 during the quarter ended March 31,
1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995, primarily due to dividends paid
by ICM to its parent, Pulte, during the first quarters of 1996 and 1995. The
result of the dividends is an increased leverage position, incurring higher
interest expense and reducing net interest income.
At March 31, 1996, loan application backlog was $468,000 compared with
$334,000 at December 31, 1995 and $349,000 at March 31, 1995.
Financing Activities
The Company's secured financing operations are conducted by Pulte
Financial Companies, Inc. (PFCI) through its subsidiary corporations. Prior to
1989, the PFCI subsidiaries engaged in the acquisition of mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities financed principally through the issuance of
long-term bonds secured by such mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities.
Since 1989, the PFCI subsidiaries have been liquidating their collateral
portfolios and related bonds outstanding. At March 31, 1996, four bond series
with an aggregate principal amount of $164,757 remained outstanding. These
bonds are expected to be redeemed, and the related collateral sold, by late
1996. PFCI's pre-tax operating income was $4,381 for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, compared with $285 for the same period in 1995. The increase in
pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is due to net gains on
sale of collateral of $4,495. There were no such gains in the same period of
1995. Net interest income continues to decrease as a result of lower average
outstanding balances on the collateral and bond portfolios.
Corporate
Corporate is a non-operating business segment; it is the Company's
internal source of financing and also includes the following items:
o Income from investments, including the Company's share of Mexican joint
venture operations.
o Interest expense on the Company's long-term debt.
o Administrative expenses.
Corporate assets include equity investments in subsidiaries, and the
Company's working capital funds invested in short term cash investments and
affiliate advances. Its liabilities include senior and subordinated debt and
income taxes.
Corporate had pre-tax losses of $3,529 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996, compared with pre-tax losses of $4,155 in the same period of 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(continued)
($000's omitted)
Corporate--(continued)
The decreased loss for the first quarter of 1996 is primarily due to
favorable variances in the Company's Mexico operations, partially offset by
increased interest expense as a result of the issuance of $125,000 of 7.3%
unsecured Senior Notes in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Mexico operations continue to develop and expand. In January 1996, the
Company's Monterrey joint venture partner assigned its interest in the joint
venture to the Company. The Company's net investment in the Monterrey venture
is carried at approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 1996. The Company intends
to liquidate the Monterrey assets in the normal course of business. During the
first quarter of 1996, the Company's Juarez joint venture recorded its first
unit closings. The Company's net investment in the Juarez joint venture is
carried at approximately $2,000 as of March 31, 1996. During the first quarter
of 1995, the Company recorded a loss of $1,824 related to its Mexico
operations, primarily related to the Company's share of joint venture foreign
currency losses. During the first quarter of 1996, Mexico operations were at
break-even and there were no significant foreign currency gains or losses, as
the Mexican currency has stabilized since the fourth quarter of 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Continuing Operations
The Company believes it has adequate financial resources and sufficient
credit facilities to meet its current working capital needs. Sources of the
Company's working capital include its cash, its $250,000 committed unsecured
revolving credit facility, the remaining outstanding balance of $22,405 of
Pulte's previously issued unsecured Senior Subordinated Debentures, due 1999,
the Company's $100,000, 7% unsecured Senior Notes, due 2003, the Company's
$115,000, 8.375% unsecured Senior Notes, due 2004 and the Company's $125,000,
7.3% unsecured Senior Notes, due 2005. In addition, the Company has other
committed and uncommitted credit lines, which at March 31, 1996 consisted of
$10,000 and $250,000 related to Pulte and ICM operations, respectively. During
1996, management anticipates that homebuilding and corporate working capital
requirements will be funded with internally generated funds and the previously
mentioned debt.
In addition, the Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a universal shelf registration which provides for up to an
additional $125,000 of debt or equity securities.
During the first three months of 1996, the Company repurchased 334,432
shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of $9,261. This completed
the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares authorized by the Board of Directors in
late 1994. During March 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
by the Company of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock. In
April 1996, upon completion of the repurchase of the 1,000,000 shares
authorized in March 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by
the Company of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the
stock repurchase program. Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the Company has
repurchased 1,390,100 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of
$35,897.
The Company finances its land acquisitions, development and construction
activities from internally generated funds and existing credit agreements. The
Company's mortgage banking subsidiary (ICM) provides mortgage financing for
many of its home sales. ICM uses its own funds and borrowings made available
pursuant to various committed bank credit arrangements which, at March 31,
1996 amounted to $250,000, an amount deemed adequate to cover foreseeable
needs. Such mortgage loans are subsequently sold, principally to outside
investors. The Company anticipates that there will be adequate mortgage
financing available for purchasers of its homes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(continued)
($000's omitted)
Continuing Operations--(continued)
There were no borrowings under the $250,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility at March 31, 1996. The Company from time to time has borrowings under
this revolving credit arrangement; there were no borrowings during the first
quarter of 1996. There were approximately $96,073 of borrowings under the
$250,000 (ICM) arrangement at March 31, 1996.
Discontinued Operations:
The Company's income taxes have been significantly impacted by its
thrift operations, principally because payments received from FSLIC Resolution
Fund (FRF) are exempt from federal income taxes.
The Company's thrift assets are subject to regulatory restrictions and
are not available for general corporate purposes. The final liquidation and
wind-down of the Company's thrift operations is dependent on the final
resolution of outstanding matters with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), manager of FRF. The Company is currently negotiating with
the FDIC and is involved in litigation with the FDIC. Although there is no
certainty as to the time of resolution, the Company believes that this matter
may be resolved within the next twelve months. At March 31, 1996, the Company
had a remaining investment in First Heights of approximately $29,800.
