Note 2.  Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The
Ryland Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the company).
Additionally, certain investments in joint ventures are accounted for
by the equity method, as the company generally has a 50 percent or
less interest in the joint ventures. Intercompany transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1993, and the
consolidated statements of earnings for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1993
and 1992 have been prepared by the company, without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, which include normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at September  30,
1993, and for all periods presented, have been made.  The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1992 has been taken from
the audited financial statements as of that date.  Certain amounts in
the consolidated statements have been reclassified to conform to the
1993 presentation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in the company's
December 31, 1992 annual report to shareholders.  The results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1993 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
full year. Assets presented in the financial statements are net of
any valuation allowances.

In calculating primary (loss) earnings per common share applicable to
stockholders, the dividend requirements of the preferred shares held
by the Ryland Retirement and Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the RSOP
Trust) have been added to net loss or deducted from net earnings as
appropriate.  For the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1992 the average shares outstanding have been increased by the
common stock equivalents relating to the employee stock option and
employee incentive plans.  For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1993 these common stock equivalents were not considered
as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Net earnings used in calculating fully diluted earnings per common
share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1992
were decreased by the amount of the additional RSOP contribution
required to fund the difference between the RSOP's earnings from
preferred stock dividends and the RSOP's potential earnings from

common stock dividends after an assumed conversion.  Net loss used in
calculating fully diluted loss per common share for the three and
nine month periods ending September 30, 1993 was increased by the
dividend requirements of the preferred shares held by the RSOP Trust,
as an adjustment for incremental dividends on convertible preferred
shares would be anti-dilutive.

Fully diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1992, gives effect to the common stock
equivalents and the assumed conversion of the preferred stock into
1,213,038 shares and 1,220,868 shares respectively, of common stock,
in accordance with the RSOP Trust Agreement.  In computing fully
diluted loss per common share for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1993, average shares outstanding have not been
increased by the common stock equivalents relating to the employee
stock option, employee incentive plans and the assumed conversion of
the preferred stock held by the RSOP Trust as the effect would be
anti-dilutive.


Note 3.  Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the obligations incurred in the
ordinary course of business, or from the usual obligations of on-site
housing producers for the completion of contracts.  In the opinion of
management, the completion of its obligations will not have a
material effect on the results of operations or financial condition
of the company.

Also see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings.


Note 4.  Valuation Reserves

During the third quarter of 1993, the company increased its valuation
allowance for inventories from $19 million to $62 million, and
increased its reserve allowance against investments in unconsolidated
joint ventures from $1 million to $3 million.

Note 5.  Income Taxes

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 ("SFAS No. 109"), Accounting for Income Taxes, effective January
1, 1993.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, the company
accounted for its income taxes under SFAS No. 96.  The impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 109 was not material.

The company's income tax benefit for the nine months ended September
30, 1993 is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

</TABLE>

The company has determined that no valuation allowance for the
deferred tax asset is required  due to the prior years' tax history
as well as temporary differences attributable to the current year.

In the third quarter of 1993, the company revised its estimated
annual effective tax rate to reflect a change in the federal
statutory rate from 34% to 35% effective January 1, 1993.  The actual
income tax rate of 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1993
differs from the statutory rate by 2.5%.  This difference is
primarily comprised of the effects of state income taxes, RSOP
dividends, and amortization of goodwill.
