                              PULTE CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               ($000's omitted)
                                 (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Pulte Corporation (the Company), and all of its significant
     subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries include Pulte Financial
     Companies, Inc. (PFCI), Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc. (PDCI) and
     other subsidiaries engaged in the homebuilding business. PDCI's
     operating subsidiaries include Pulte Home Corporation (Pulte) and Pulte
     International Corporation (International). PDCI's non-operating thrift
     subsidiary, First Heights Bank, fsb (First Heights), has been classified
     as a discontinued operation (See Note 2). The Company also has a
     mortgage banking company (Pulte Mortgage) which is a 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 and six month periods ended
     June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
     expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. These financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
     financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
     annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     Certain 1997 classifications have been changed to conform with the 1998
     presentation.

     In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
     American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
     Position 98-1 (SOP), "Accounting for the Costs of Software Developed or
     Obtained for Internal Use". This SOP requires internal costs (i.e.,
     salaries and related benefits and interest cost) to be capitalized
     during the application development stage for internal-use software. The
     Company has adopted, on a prospective basis, the provisions of SOP 98-1
     effective January 1, 1998 and, accordingly, has capitalized $750 and
     $1,450 of such costs during the three and six month periods ended June
     30, 1998, respectively. The Company had historically expensed similar
     costs to operations when they were incurred.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This standard is
     effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and
     requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as
     components of comprehensive income be reported in an annual financial
     statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
     statements. The Company's comprehensive income other than net income
     consists solely of unrealized gains on securities available for sale,
     net of income tax. The Company's total comprehensive income for the
     quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $23,717 and $14,122,
     respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was
     $34,781 and $16,147, respectively. Such amounts are not significantly
     different from the respective net incomes.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is required to be
     adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier adoption
     encouraged. This Statement will require the Company to recognize all
     derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not
     hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
     is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
     value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair
     value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
     earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
     item is recognized in earnings. Pulte Mortgage, in the normal course of
     business, uses derivative financial instruments to meet the financing
     needs of its customers and reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in
     interest rates. The Company has not yet determined what effect Statement
     No. 133 will have on its earnings and financial position.

2.   Discontinued operations

     Revenues of the Company's discontinued thrift operations for the three
     and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $1,779 and $3,566, respectively.
     Revenues for the comparable periods of 1997 were $2,301 and $4,726,
     respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
     discontinued thrift operations provided after-tax income of $238 and
     $609, respectively. After-tax income for the comparable periods of 1997
     were $1,201 and $2,204, respectively.

3.   Segment information

     The Company has three reportable segments: Homebuilding, Financial
     Services and Corporate. The Company's Homebuilding segment consists of
     the following three business lines:

     o    Domestic Homebuilding, the Company's core business, which is
          engaged in the construction of housing within the continental
          United States targeting primarily the first-time and move-up
          customer group.

     o    International Homebuilding, which is engaged in the construction of
          housing in Puerto Rico and Mexico.

     o    Active Adult, which is engaged in the development of amenitized,
          age-targeted and age-restricted communities throughout the
          continental United States appealing to a growing demographic group
          in their pre- retirement/retirement years. On March 25, 1998, the
          Company announced the formation of a new venture with Blackstone
          Real Estate Advisors (BRE), an affiliate of the Blackstone Group,
          for the purpose of acquiring and developing major active adult
          residential communities. In an initial transaction, the venture
          purchased and will continue to develop four of the Company's
          existing active adult communities. Both the Company and BRE
          maintain a 50% ownership interest in this new venture, and as such,
          the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of
          accounting.

     The Company's Financial Services segment consists principally of Pulte
     Mortgage, its mortgage banking subsidiary, and to a lesser extent, the
     operations of PFCI, its financing subsidiary.

     Corporate is a non-operating business segment whose primary purpose is
     to support the operations of the Company's subsidiaries as the internal
     source of financing and by implementing and maturing strategic
     initiatives centered on new business development and improving operating
     efficiencies.

4.   Acquisitions

     On May 27, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
     Tennessee-based Radnor Homes for an aggregate purchase price of
     approximately $58,000. Consideration for this acquisition, which was
     recorded using the purchase method of accounting, included $51,000 of
     cash paid, approximately $3,000 of liabilities assumed and the issuance
     of 153,570 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase price has
     been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
     relative fair value estimates. The Company has included the operating
     results of Radnor Homes since the acquisition in its consolidated
     results of operations.

     On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock and
     membership interests in certain closely-held businesses of Florida-based
     DiVosta and Company for an aggregate purchase price of
     approximately $155,000. Consideration for this acquisition, which will
     be recorded using the purchase method of accounting, included
     approximately $109,000 of cash paid, approximately $25,000 of
     liabilities assumed and $21,000 in the form of a seller-financed note.


5.   Commitments and contingencies

     First Heights-Related Litigation

     The Company is a party to two lawsuits relating to First Heights' 1988
     acquisition from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
     (FSLIC), and First Heights' ownership of, five failed Texas thrifts. The
     first lawsuit (the "District Court Case") was filed on July 7, 1995 in
     the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, by the
     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) against the Company, PDCI
     and First Heights (collectively, the "Pulte Parties"). The second
     lawsuit (the "Court of Federal Claims Case") was filed on December 26,
     1996 in the United States Court of Federal Claims (Washington, D.C.) by
     the Pulte Parties against the United States. In the District Court Case,
     the FDIC seeks a declaration of rights and other relief related to the
     assistance agreement entered into between First Heights and the FSLIC.
     The FDIC is the successor to FSLIC. The FDIC and the Pulte Parties
     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 and ownership of the
     five failed Texas thrifts. The District Court Case 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 Pulte
     Parties dispute the FDIC's claims and believe that a proper
     interpretation of the assistance agreement limits the FDIC's
     participation in the tax benefits. The Pulte Parties have filed an
     answer and a counterclaim, seeking, among other things, a declaration
     that the FDIC has breached the assistance agreement in numerous
     respects. On December 24, 1996, the Pulte Parties voluntarily dismissed
     without prejudice certain of their claims in the District Court Case and
     on December 26, 1996, initiated the Court of Federal Claims Case.

     The Court of Federal Claims Case contains similar claims as those that
     were voluntarily dismissed from the District Court Case. In their
     complaint, the Pulte Parties assert breaches of contract on the part of
     the United States in connection with the enactment of section 13224 of
     the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. That provision repealed
     portions of the tax benefits that the Pulte Parties claim they were
     entitled to under the contract to acquire the failed Texas thrifts. The
     Pulte Parties also assert certain other claims concerning the contract,
     including claims that the United States (through the FDIC as receiver)
     has improperly attempted to amend the failed thrifts' pre-acquisition
     tax returns and that this attempt was made in an effort to deprive the
     Pulte Parties of tax benefits they had contracted for, and that the
     enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
     Enforcement Act of 1989 breached the Government's obligation not to
     require contributions of capital greater than those required by the
     contract.

5.   Commitments and contingencies (continued)

     On March 5, 1998, the Company reported that an opinion and order had
     been issued by the United States District Court (the "Court") which
     resolved by summary judgment four of the interpretational issues which
     had been raised in the District Court Case. On three issues, the Court
     ruled in favor of the FDIC, and on one issue, the Court ruled in favor
     of the Company. On March 17, 1998, the Court resolved by summary
     judgment two additional interpretational issues in the District Court
     Case. On both issues the Court ruled in favor of the FDIC. The Company
     vigorously disagrees with all of the Court's rulings in favor of the
     FDIC and intends to appeal if these rulings become part of any final
     judgment. The Company believes that if it was unsuccessful on appeal and
     if all other issues in such litigation were resolved in favor of the
     FDIC, the Company would, at such time, take an after-tax charge against
     discontinued operations in an amount which would range from a nominal
     amount to as much as $40,000. The Company does not believe that the
     claims in the Court of Federal Claims Case are affected by the rulings
     in the District Court Case.


6.   Supplemental guarantor information

     The Company has the following outstanding Senior Note obligations: (1)
     $100,000, 7%, due 2003, (2) $115,000, 8.375%, due 2004, (3) $125,000,
     7.3%, due 2005, and (4) $150,000, 7.625%, due 2017. Such obligations to
     pay principal, premium, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and
     severally on a senior basis by the Company's wholly-owned domestic and
     active adult homebuilding subsidiaries (collectively, the Guarantors).
     Such guarantees are full and unconditional. The principal non-Guarantors
     include PDCI, Pulte International, Pulte Mortgage, First Heights, and
     PFCI. See Note 1 for additional information on the Company's Guarantor
     and non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

     Supplemental consolidating 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.

</TABLE>

A comparison of pre-tax income (loss) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

o    Pre-tax income of the Company's homebuilding business segment increased
     61% and 82%, respectively, due primarily to the dramatic improvement in
     domestic homebuilding operations where pre-tax income increased 56% and
     73%, respectively. Domestic unit settlements increased 10% and 12%,
     respectively; and domestic gross margins improved 110 and 80 basis
     points, respectively. The Company's domestic homebuilding business also
     achieved improved leverage in overall selling, general and
     administrative (SG&A) spending. On a total dollar basis, SG&A spending
     was relatively flat for the quarter, and actually decreased by almost
     $1,000 year-to-date on increased sales of $104,600 and $185,600,
     respectively.

o    Pre-tax income of the Company's financial services business segment
     increased substantially to $3,560, and $5,948, respectively, as compared
     with $351 and $429 for the comparable 1997 periods. This increase is
     entirely attributable to the Company's mortgage banking operation which
     benefited from substantial increases in mortgage origination volume,
     origination and servicing fees, as well as pricing and marketing gains.
     Average operating costs per mortgage origination, excluding provision
     for foreclosure-related losses, decreased by 14% and 18%, respectively,
     reflecting improved leverage of loan origination volume.

o    Pre-tax loss of the Company's corporate business segment increased
     $1,281 from the three month period ended June 30, 1997 and decreased
     $410 from the six month period ended June 30, 1997. The increase in
     pre-tax loss over the comparable three month quarterly period of 1997 is
     primarily the result of a significant increase in net interest expense
     associated with the issuance of $150,000 of Senior Notes during the
     fourth quarter of 1997. The decrease in the year-to-date pre-tax loss
     from the comparable 1997 period is attributable to the gain recognized
     in the first quarter of 1998 from the sale of the Company's interest in
     Expression Homes offset by the increased interest expense associated
     with the $150,000 Senior Notes.

Restructuring:

During the fourth quarter of 1997, a pre-tax charge of $20,000 was recorded
in connection with the reorganization of the Company's operations. This
reorganization entailed:

o     the realignment of homebuilding operations into business lines which
      focus on specific customer segments;

o     the creation of a mortgage applications center, which increased
      overhead leverage by moving Pulte Mortgage's loan officers from field
      branches to a central location in Denver, Colorado; and

o     the right-sizing of its workforce on a company-wide basis.

The 1997 restructuring charge included $11,787 of separation and other costs
for approximately 150 employees, $7,000 of asset impairments and $1,213 of
other costs, principally for office leases. The after-tax effect of this
charge was $12,300 or $.56 per diluted share. As of June 30, 1998, the
Company has severed employment with approximately 125 employees.

The following table displays a rollforward of the liabilities accrued for the
Company's restructuring from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998:

Management believes that the remaining reserves for business restructuring
costs are adequate to complete its plan and that a substantial portion of the
remaining accrual will be utilized during 1998.

                               ($000's omitted)

Homebuilding Operations:

During 1997, the Company reorganized its homebuilding operations into three
distinct business lines; Domestic, International, and Active Adult.

o    Domestic Homebuilding operations are conducted in 42 markets, located
     throughout 28 states. Domestic Homebuilding offers a broad product line
     to meet the needs of the first-time and move-up, and semi-custom home
     buyer.

o    International Homebuilding operations are conducted through subsidiaries
     of Pulte International Corporation in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
     International Homebuilding product offerings focus on the demand of
     first-time buyers and social interest housing in Mexico. The Company has
     several agreements in place with multi-national corporations to support
     social interest housing in Mexico.

o    Active Adult Homebuilding operations through March 25, 1998, were
     conducted through Pulte subsidiaries. On March 25, 1998, the Company
     announced the formation of a new venture in which both the Company and
     Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (BRE), an affiliate of the Blackstone
     Group, have committed investment capital for the purpose of acquiring
     and developing major active adult residential communities. In an initial
     transaction, the venture purchased and will continue to develop four of
     the Company's existing active adult communities. Both the Company and
     BRE maintain a 50% ownership interest in this new venture. Active Adult
     homebuilding operations focus on the development of amenitized
     age-targeted or age-restricted communities appealing to a growing
     demographic group in their pre-retirement and retirement years.

Certain operating data relating to the Company's homebuilding operations for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, are as follows:

Homebuilding Operations (continued):

Domestic Homebuilding (continued):

Net new orders increased during the second quarter of 1998 by 605 units, or
approximately 15% over the second quarter of 1997. Contributing to a majority
of this increase were Pulte markets in the Southeast, the Great Lakes, Texas,
and California Regions. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net new
orders increased by 1,360 units, or 17%, to 9,313 units, excluding the impact
of the Radnor acquisition which provided an additional 211 units, due to
improvements in the Southeast, Great Lakes, Midwest, Texas and California
regions. In general, macro-economic and weather conditions favorably affected
the new order environment during the first half of 1998.

Unit settlements during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
increased 10% and 12%, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods.
Strong customer demand and favorable economic conditions contributed to
record-setting net new orders in the first quarter of 1998. This increase,
along with strong backlog levels at December 31, 1997, contributed to the
favorable settlement activity in the first half of 1998, most notably in the
Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Texas, California, Great Lakes and Midwest Regions.

As a result of the favorable environment surrounding net new orders during
the first half of 1998, unit backlog at June 30, 1998 increased by 817 units
to an all-time Company record of 5,975 units, excluding the impact of the
Radnor acquisition which provided an additional 177 units. Unit backlog at
June 30, 1998, excluding Radnor, is approximately 12% and 16% higher than that
noted at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

Gross profit margins were 15.6% and 15.5% for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to 14.5% and 14.7%, respectively,
in the similar periods of the prior year. Several factors have combined to
contribute to this favorable trend including, a positive economic
environment, strong customer demand, positive home pricing, the benefits of
leverage-buy purchasing activities, effective production and inventory
management, and the Company's P3 initiative (Pulte Preferred Partnerships)
with contractors and suppliers. As a result, gross margins continue to
improve on a sequential-period basis as evidenced by the 20 basis point
increase from the 15.4% gross profit margin reported at March 31, 1998.

During the first half of 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses
(SG&A) reflected the pro-rata share of benefit savings from the restructuring
plan effected in the second half of 1997, as well as the improved leverage of
SG&A dollar spending on higher unit sales volume.

Other income, net, includes gains on land sales and other
homebuilding-related expenses. Other income, net, has also historically
included the net operating results of Pulte's Builder's Supply & Lumber (BSL)
subsidiary prior to its sale on March 20, 1998. As a result of this sale,
other income, net, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998
decreased by $1,900 and $5,400, respectively. The decrease for the quarter is
attributable to the sale of BSL in March 1998 resulting in no operating
income or loss for the second quarter of 1998. Year-to-date results were
unfavorably impacted by sales transaction costs and operating losses of
$1,700 compared with operating income of approximately $3,700 a year ago.
Other income, net, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998
also reflects a decrease of approximately $2,900 of proceeds from an
insurance litigation settlement received in the first quarter of 1997.

The average selling price during the three month period ended June 30, 1998
was $174, an increase from the average selling price of $161 in the
comparable period of the prior year and of $166 for each of the quarters
ended March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Changes in average selling price
reflect a number of factors, including the mix of product closed during a
period.

At June 30, 1998, Pulte's domestic homebuilding operations controlled
approximately 52,200 lots, of which approximately 31,000 lots were owned and
approximately 21,200 lots were controlled through option agreements.

As a component of the Company's growth strategies, the Company acquired all
of the outstanding stock of Tennessee-based Radnor Homes on May 27, 1998 for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $58,000. Consideration for this
acquisition included approximately $51,000 of cash paid, approximately $3,000
of assumed liabilities and the issuance of 153,570 shares of the Company's
common stock. This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase, and as
such, the operating results of Radnor since the acquisition date have been
included in the Company's results of operations, and integrated into the
Southeast Region. Just prior to its acquisition, Radnor was selling in 22
communities in eight cities, all of which are located in Tennessee. In 1997,
Radnor's average sales price was $204. In 1998, Radnor's net orders are
expected to exceed 450 units, with a total sales value of approximately
$100,000.

On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock and
membership interests in certain closely-held businesses of Florida-based
DiVosta and Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$155,000. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase, and as such,
the operating results of DiVosta will be included in the results of
operations of the Company beginning in the third quarter of 1998.
Consideration for this acquisition included approximately $109,000 of cash
paid, approximately $25,000 of liabilities assumed and $21,000 in the form of
a seller-financed note. During 1997, DiVosta delivered 850 homes and
generated revenues of approximately $134,000. At the date of acquisition,
DiVosta's backlog was approximately 350 homes with a total sales value of
approximately $60,000.

Pre-tax loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from the Company's
international operations decreased by $666, or approximately 74%, as compared
with the prior quarter of 1997. On a year-to-date comparison, pre-tax income
from international operations increased 156%. These favorable increases are
principally due to Pulte's share of joint venture (J.V.) operations in
Mexico, where total J.V. unit closings were up 120% and 140%, and total J.V.
revenues were up 162% and 155% for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1998, respectively.

In early 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 approximated $1,700 as of June 30, 1998. The Company
intends to liquidate the Monterrey assets (two communities) in the normal
course of business. The Company's Juarez joint venture is currently
developing communities in the cities of Juarez, Chihuahua, Nuevo Laredo,
Reynosa and Matamoros. During 1996, the Company announced that its Juarez
venture had entered into two separate agreements to construct homes in
Mexico; one with General Motors Corporation and one with Sony Magneticos de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V., an affiliate of Sony Electronics, Inc. The Company's
net investment in the Juarez joint venture approximated $17,000 as of June
30, 1998. The Company is a party to a joint venture to build 50 upper income
housing units in Mexico City which are expected to close by the end of 1998.
The Company's net investment in this joint venture approximated $500 at June
30, 1998.

Homebuilding Operations (continued):

International Homebuilding (continued):


On June 22, 1998 Pulte formed a new Mexican joint venture with Desarrollos
Residenciales Turisticos, S.A. de C.V. (DRT), to construct low- and medium-
cost housing in Central Mexico. The venture is expected to build
approximately 3,200 units over the next two years and supports Pulte's
strategic growth initiative in the Mexican housing market. Current
development plans for this venture call for eight new housing projects in the
Bajio region surrounding Mexico City, targeting the cities of Puebla,
Queretaro, San Jose du Hurbide, San Juan del Rio and Zamora. Prior to the
formation of the joint venture, DRT had six of these projects under
construction and had secured permitting for the two remaining projects. At
June 30, 1998, the Company's net investment in this joint venture 
approximated $5,400.

Active Adult Homebuilding:

Active Adult Homebuilding operations through March 25, 1998, were conducted
through Pulte subsidiaries. On March 25, 1998, the Company announced the
formation of a new venture in which both the Company and Blackstone Real
Estate Advisors (BRE), an affiliate of the Blackstone Group, have committed
investment capital for the purpose of acquiring and developing major active
adult residential communities. In an initial transaction, the venture
purchased and will continue to develop four of the Company's existing active
adult communities. Both the Company and BRE maintain a 50% ownership interest
in this new venture. Active Adult homebuilding operations focus on the
development of amenitized age-targeted or age-restricted communities
appealing to a growing demographic group in their pre-retirement/retirement
years.

The following table presents selected financial data for Pulte's Active Adult
homebuilding operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997. Such data includes the operating results of the Company's
subsidiaries from January 1, 1998, through March 25, 1998, and the equity in

30, 1998.

Homebuilding Operations (continued):

Active Adult Homebuilding (continued):

Net new orders increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1998 by 140 and 234 units, respectively. These units primarily relate to two
communities for which sales operations had not yet commenced in the
comparable prior year period and the ramp up of building activity at a third
community. Unit settlements for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1998 increased by 47 and 86 units, respectively, as compared to the
similar periods of the prior year. These increases are primarily the result
of one community which recognized its first closings during the 1998 period.
The increased revenues and cost of sales are the result of the increased unit
settlements and a higher average selling price. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased during the three and six months ended June
30, 1998, principally due to costs associated with starting up operations at
two new communities and the new venture with BRE. Increases in average
selling price reflect a number of factors, including the mix of product
closed during a period, and communities operating in each respective period.
Equity in income of joint venture represents the income recognized by the
Company during 1998 relating to the operations of the joint venture entity.


Financial Services Operations:

The Company conducts its financial services operations principally through
Pulte Mortgage Corporation (Pulte Mortgage), the Company's mortgage banking
subsidiary, and to a limited extent by Pulte Financial Companies, Inc.
(PFCI), the Company's financing subsidiary. Pre-tax income (loss) of the
Company's financial services operations for the three and six month periods

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                               ($000's omitted)

Financial Services Operations (continued):

Mortgage origination volume for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1998, increased 45% and 42%, respectively, over the comparable 1997
periods, driven primarily by increased unit sales realized in Pulte's
homebuilding operations. Pulte customers continue to account for the majority
of total loan production at June 30, 1998; however, increased loan
origination volume in the retail sector has contributed to improved leverage
of loan origination costs. Refinancings represented less than 10% of total
loan originations for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1998. At June 30, 1998, loan application backlog increased 42% to $522,000 as
compared with $367,000 at June 30, 1997. Backlog at December 31, 1997
amounted to $294,000. Pulte continues to hedge its mortgage pipeline in the
normal course of its business and there has been no change in Pulte
Mortgage's strategy or use of derivative financial instruments in this
regard.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, origination fees
increased 74% and 68%, respectively, over the comparable periods of the prior
year. The increase in origination fees is due to the overall increase in loan
originations and an increase in non-funded, brokered loans. Pricing and
marketing gains increased $3,022 for the quarter and $5,062 year-to-date,
primarily the result of increased funded mortgage originations and increased
servicing retained loan production.

Net interest income decreased $80 and $340 for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively. These decreases are attributable
to the Company's management of equity capital coupled with a flattening of
the yield curve during the first half of 1998. For the quarter and
year-to-date, Pulte Mortgage's operating expenses increased $588 and $153
over the comparable prior year periods on increased production of 45% and
42%. This improved cost leverage is a result of the mortgage operations
center and mortgage application center initiatives implemented during late
1996 and 1997, respectively, which have expedited the loan approval process
and lowered the total cost from application to closing, and corporate
restructuring.

Financing Activities:

The Company's secured financing operations are conducted by the
limited-purpose subsidiaries of Pulte Financial Companies, Inc. (PFCI). Such
operations, which the Company is exiting, have 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. At June 30, 1998, one bond series with a
principal amount of $33,083 was outstanding. For the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, PFCI's pre-tax operating loss was $17 and $40,
respectively, compared to a pre-tax loss of $30 and $72 in 1997. 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 whose primary purpose is to
support the operations of the Company's subsidiaries as the internal source
of financing, and by implementing and maturing strategic initiatives centered
on new business development and improving operating efficiencies. The Company
views this corporate function as a form of research and development, a
prelude to adding these initiatives to existing business segments or
necessitating the creation of new business segments. As a result, the
corporate segment's operating results will vary from quarter to quarter as
these strategic initiatives evolve.

</TABLE>

The increase in pre-tax loss for the three month period ended June 30, 1998
is primarily due to an increase in net interest expense associated with the
issuance of $150,000 of 7.625% Senior Notes, due 2017, during the fourth
quarter of 1997.

The decrease in pre-tax loss for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 is
primarily due to the recognition of a one-time gain of $5,000 in the first
quarter of 1998 from the sale of the Company's interest in Expression Homes
offset by the increase in net interest expense associated with the issuance
of $150,000 of 7.625% Senior Notes, due 2017, during the fourth quarter of
1997; and provisions for the write-down of certain projects and alternative
building component investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Continuing Operations:

The Company's net cash flows from operating activities increased from a use
of $106,966 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, to a source of $84,016
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This is principally due to the sales
of BSL and certain Active Adult communities to the new Pulte/Blackstone joint
venture. Net cash used in investing activities of $39,773 increased from the
comparable six month period of 1997 due principally to the Company's recent
acquisition activity. The Company's net cash used in financing activities
increased $4,511 over the comparable six month period of 1997, primarily the
result of decreased short-term loan proceeds offset by a decrease in cash
used for stock repurchases.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and equivalents of $279,901 and total
long-term indebtedness of $619,746 The Company's total indebtedness includes
$487,399 of unsecured senior notes, $22,405 of unsecured senior subordinated
debentures, other Pulte non-recourse and limited-recourse debt of $46,402 and
$29,697, respectively; $760 of First Heights' advances; and $33,083 of
mortgage-backed bonds payable for PFCI.

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 and equivalents, its $210,000
committed unsecured revolving credit facility, and other committed and
uncommitted credit lines, which at June 30, 1998, consisted of $20,000 and
$250,000 related to Pulte and Pulte Mortgage operations, respectively. During
the remainder of 1998, management anticipates that homebuilding and corporate
working capital requirements, as well as cash payments associated with the
Company's restructuring plan, will be principally funded with internally
generated funds and the previously mentioned credit facilities. The Company
routinely monitors current operational requirements and financial market
conditions to evaluate the utilization of available financing sources,
including securities offerings.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                               ($000's omitted)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) :

Continuing Operations(continued):

The Company finances its land acquisitions, development and construction
activities from internally generated funds and existing credit agreements.
The Company had no borrowings under its $210,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility during the first quarter of 1998 and no balance was outstanding at
June 30, 1998. Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of its
home sales and uses its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to
various committed and uncommitted credit arrangements which, at June 30,
1998, amounted to $250,000, an amount deemed adequate to cover foreseeable
needs. There were approximately $121,310 of borrowings outstanding under the
$250,000 (Pulte Mortgage) arrangement at June 30, 1998. Mortgage loans
originated by Pulte Mortgage are subsequently sold, principally to outside
investors. The Company anticipates that there will be adequate mortgage
financing available for purchasers of its homes.

Discontinued Operations:

Since the acquisition of First Heights, the Company's income taxes have been
significantly impacted by its thrift operations, principally because payments
received from the 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's remaining investment in
First Heights at June 30, 1998 approximated $26,000.

Information Technology and Year 2000 Compliance

An integral part of our operating strategy is to provide Pulte management
and employees the information systems needed to support the Company's current
operations and future growth. Substantial progress has been made toward the
goal of developing an integrated set of systems to support marketing, land
and product development, home sales, construction, service, and comprehensive
financial management. During the first half of 1998, the Company invested
approximately $3,000 in support of this goal and estimates that it will
invest approximately an additional $3,500 in the development and
implementation of its management information systems in 1998.

A critical component of this integrated systems effort involves replacement
of the Company's existing accounting system, which management expects will
substantially resolve the Company's Year 2000 exposure, as well as
significantly enhance the financial management capabilities of its
operational managers. Investment in this financial component includes Year
2000 compliant accounting software package selection and licensing
amortization. The Company expects to complete system development and pilot
implementation, with enterprise-wide roll out scheduled for completion in
1999. The Company has evaluated all essential homebuilding
supplier/contractor relationships and believes that there are no significant
risks associated with Year 2000 issues impacting operations. The Company's
mortgage banking operation has also completed a comprehensive Year 2000 risk
assessment for both internal information systems and external relationships.
Plans are being implemented to bring all critical information systems into
compliance. The Company does not expect the cost for such compliance to have
a material impact on operating results or financial condition. In 1997, the
Company also completed implementation of a company-wide telecommunications
network to enhance sharing of timely business information across all markets
and provide the pathway for future operational support of the integrated
systems strategy.

                               ($000's omitted)

Information Technology and Year 2000 Compliance (continued):

All components of this new information technology environment are fully
compliant with Year 2000 processing requirements. Taken together, the Company
believes that its substantial past and current investments in these
information technology initiatives will provide the foundation necessary to
support and enhance operations in the years to come. Nevertheless, achieving
Year 2000 compliance is dependent on many factors, some of which are not
completely within the Company's control. Should either the Company's internal
systems or the internal systems of one or more significant vendors or
suppliers fail to achieve year 2000 compliance, the Company's business and
its results of operations could be adversely affected.

Forward-Looking Statements:

As a cautionary note, except for the historical information contained herein,
certain matters discussed in Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations", are "forward-looking"
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such matters involve risks and uncertainties, including the
Company's ability to correct all material applications addressing the Year
2000 problem, as well as the ability of the Company's vendors to correct all
material applications addressing the Year 2000 problem, and the Company's
assessment of the Year 2000 problem's impact on its financial results and
operations, changes in economic conditions and interest rates, increases in
raw material and labor costs, weather conditions, and general competitive
factors, that may cause actual results to differ materially.
