3.  Statement of Cash Flows
    -----------------------

     Cash flows from the discontinued operation have been presented as a
separate line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
The net change in cash for the discontinued operation presented in the
statements of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999
reflects the net change in the cash balance of our savings and loan subsidiary,
which was sold in May 1999.

4.  Recent Accounting Pronouncement
    -------------------------------

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133).  Under the provisions of FAS 133, we will be
required to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets and measure these instruments at fair value.  We are
required to adopt FAS 133 effective January 1, 2001.  We have not yet quantified
the impact of adopting FAS 133.

5.  Reclassifications
    -----------------

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 consolidated financial
statements to conform with current period presentation.

6.  Net Income Per Share
    --------------------

     We compute net income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128). This statement
requires the presentation of both basic and diluted net income per share for
financial statement purposes. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the
potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options using the
treasury stock method. The table set forth below reconciles the components of
the basic net income per share calculation to diluted net income per share.

7.  Discontinued Operations
    -----------------------

     In May 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a plan of disposition (the
"Plan") for our savings and loan subsidiary ("Savings"). Pursuant to the Plan,
we sold substantially all of Savings' mortgage loan portfolio in June 1997. The
proceeds from the sale of the mortgages were used to pay off substantially all
of the outstanding balances of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the
remaining amount temporarily invested until the savings deposits were sold along
with Savings' remaining assets. The gain generated from the sale of this
mortgage loan portfolio, net of related expenses, was not material. In August
1998, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the remainder of Savings'
business, including Savings' charter, which closed on May 31, 1999. An after tax
net gain of $618,000, or $.02 per diluted share, was recorded in the 1999 second
quarter as a result of this sale. Proceeds from the sale of Savings were
approximately $8.8 million before transaction and other related costs. Savings
has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of its
operations have been segregated in the accompanying 1999 consolidated income
statements.

     Income from continuing operations for the 2000 first quarter increased to
$13,895,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $13,871,000, or $0.46 per
diluted share, for the year earlier period.

     Net income for the 2000 first quarter including the discontinued operation
increased to $13,895,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $13,794,000,
or $0.46 per diluted share, for the 1999 first quarter. The discontinued
operation in 1999 reflects our former savings and loan subsidiary, which was
sold during the 1999 second quarter for an after tax gain of $618,000, or $0.02
per diluted share.

     First quarter 2000 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") was $29.8 million compared to $31.5 million for the same
period in 1999.

     Homebuilding

     Homebuilding revenues in the 2000 first quarter increased 8 percent to
$232.1 million from $214.5 million in the year earlier period. The higher
revenue total was due to a 7 percent increase in new home deliveries (exclusive
of joint ventures) coupled with a 2 percent increase in the average home selling
price to $333,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, we delivered 426 new
homes in California, an 18 percent increase over the prior year period.
Deliveries were up 30 percent in Southern California and up 4 percent in
Northern California. Our Arizona operation delivered 183 new homes in the 2000
first quarter which was in line with the strong level of deliveries generated in
the year earlier period. Deliveries in our Dallas and Austin divisions improved
significantly from the previous year period as reflected by their 49 percent and
32 percent gains, respectively, while deliveries in Houston declined by 27
homes.

     During the 2000 first quarter the average home price in California declined
3 percent from the year earlier period to $429,000, reflecting a shift in
product mix. The average home price in Texas was up 13 percent to $255,000
reflecting a greater proportion of deliveries from our Dallas and Austin
operations where prices are generally higher than in Houston. The average home
price in Arizona was up slightly to $163,000.

     The homebuilding gross margin percentage for the 2000 first quarter was
18.1 percent, down 50 basis points from the prior year first quarter, but up 60
basis points over the 1999 fourth quarter gross margin percentage. First quarter
deliveries were impacted by rising labor and material costs experienced in 1999
which are beginning to moderate.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
for the 2000 first quarter were 7.9 percent compared to 9.4 percent for the same
period last year. The fluctuation in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues
is primarily due to the timing of certain sales and marketing costs incurred in
connection with the opening of new communities. In addition, many general and
administrative expenses are typically fixed in nature and decline as a
percentage of revenues in a growing revenue environment.

     Income from unconsolidated joint ventures for the 2000 first quarter was
generated from the delivery of 17 homes in the initial phase of our 390 home
three-project joint venture in Fullerton, California in Orange County. The joint
venture income in the prior year first quarter was generated from land sales
from our Talega land development joint venture in South Orange County. We are
expecting to recognize additional joint venture income from land sales in each
of these ventures during the year.

     Net new home orders for the 2000 first quarter were up 19 percent over the
year earlier period to a first quarter record of 1,113 new homes on a 20 percent
increase in average community count.  Orders were up 21 percent in Southern
California on a 21 percent increase in average community count, up 19 percent in
Northern California on a flat community count, up 15 percent in Texas on a 29
percent increase in active selling communities and up 19 percent in Arizona on a
30 percent increase in active selling communities.

     Our backlog of presold homes at March 31, 2000 stood at 1,414 homes, with
an estimated sales value of approximately $477.4 million, up 3 percent from the
1999 first quarter backlog value.

     We are planning to open approximately 55 to 60 new communities in 2000
compared to 43 in 1999, of which approximately 30 to 35 will be located in
California, 10 in Texas and 15 in Arizona.  Assuming there are no significant
changes in the economy, consumer confidence or interest rates, we expect to be
in a position to increase unit deliveries in 2000.


     Financial Services

     Revenues from our financial services subsidiary for the 2000 first quarter
were down 27 percent from the year earlier period despite a modest increase in
the number and dollar value of loans sold during the quarter.  The reduction in
revenues from the year earlier period reflects lower margins realized on sales
of mortgage loans due to increased competitive pressures, as well as a one-time
gain recognized in the 1999 first quarter from the pay-off of a commercial loan.
The rise in operating expenses reflects the increase in overhead from expanding
our mortgage banking operations in California.

     The financial services joint venture income reflects the operating results
of our mortgage banking venture with Wells Fargo Bank in Arizona and Texas.

     Other financial services income represents earnings from our new title
insurance operation in Texas, which began serving as a title insurance agent and
offering title examination services in September 1999.

Recent Development

     On April 14, 2000, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The
Writer Corporation, a publicly-traded Denver-based homebuilder ("Writer"), for a
purchase price of $3.35 per share of Writer common stock, or a total of
approximately $26.7 million, plus the assumption of approximately $27.7 million
of indebtedness. The acquisition consideration will be payable in a combination
of cash and Standard Pacific common stock, with Writer's public shareholders
being entitled to elect to receive up to the entire purchase price in cash,
subject to certain limitations. Writer is a longtime homebuilder in the Denver
metropolitan area, and more recently has expanded its operations into the
emerging Fort Collins/Northern Colorado market. For the year ended December 31,
1999, Writer had revenues of $82 million and delivered 383 new homes.

     Under the terms of the proposed acquisition, Writer's stockholders will
receive, at their election, a combination of cash and/or Standard Pacific common
stock valued at $3.35 per share of Writer common stock.  Not more than 60
percent and not less than 50 percent of the aggregate consideration will be paid
in shares of Standard Pacific common stock. Standard Pacific's shares will be
valued based on their average trading price for a 20 day period prior to
consummation of the merger, provided that in no event will the shares be valued
at less than $11.00 per share or more than $13.50 per share.  In the event the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

option to elect cash is oversubscribed, Writer's directors, officers and 15
percent shareholders have agreed to accept shares of Standard Pacific common
stock.

     Consummation of the transaction is subject to customary conditions,
including registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and approval
of Writer's stockholders.  No assurances can be given that the transaction will
be consummated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our homebuilding operations' principal uses of cash have been for operating
expenses, land acquisitions, construction expenditures, market expansion
(including through acquisitions), principal and interest payments on debt, share
repurchases and dividends to our shareholders.  Cash requirements have been
provided from internally generated funds and outside borrowings, including a
bank revolving credit facility and public note offerings.  Our mortgage banking
subsidiary uses cash from internal funds and a mortgage warehouse credit
facility to fund its mortgage lending operations.  Based on our current business
plan and our desire to carefully manage our leverage, we believe that these
sources of cash are sufficient to finance our current working capital
requirements and other needs.

     In August 1999, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility with our
bank group to, among other things, increase the commitment to $450 million,
extend the maturity date one year to July 31, 2003 and revise certain financial
and other covenants.  This agreement contains a borrowing base provision and
financial covenants which may limit the amount we may borrow under the revolving
credit facility.  At March 31, 2000, we had borrowings of $64 million
outstanding under this facility.

     To fund mortgage loans through our financial services subsidiary, we have a
$40 million revolving mortgage warehouse credit facility with a bank.  Mortgage
loans are generally held for a short period of time and are typically sold to
investors within 15 days following funding. Borrowings, which are LIBOR based,
are secured by the related mortgage loans held for sale.  The facility, which
has a current maturity date of May 31, 2000, also contains certain financial
covenants.  We are in discussions with the bank regarding extending the maturity
date of this facility, which we anticipate being completed before May 31, 2000.

     In October 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
our $300 million universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3.  The
universal shelf registration statement permits the issuance of common stock,
preferred stock, debt securities and warrants.  We currently have $200 million
available under the universal shelf.

     From time to time, purchase money mortgage financing is used to finance
land acquisitions.  At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, we had
approximately $3.5 million outstanding in trust deed notes payable.

     Additionally, as a form of off balance sheet financing and for other
strategic purposes, joint venture structures are used on selected projects.
This type of structure, in which the joint venture typically obtains secured
construction and development financing, minimizes the use of funds from our
revolving credit facility and other corporate financing sources. We plan to
continue using these types of arrangements to finance the development of
properties as opportunities arise.

                                      -11-

     We paid an $.08 per share common dividend, or an aggregate dividend of $2.3
million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, which represents a 60 percent
increase from our 1999 fourth quarter cash dividend of $.05 per share.  Common
stock dividends are paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and are
dependent upon various factors, including earnings, cash flows, capital
requirements and operating and financial conditions, including our overall level
of leverage.  Additionally, our revolving credit facility and public notes
impose restrictions on the amount of dividends we may be able to pay.  On April
25, 2000, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.08 per
share of common stock.  This dividend is to be paid on May 26, 2000 to
shareholders of record on May 12, 2000.

     In April 2000, our Board of Directors increased the aggregate stock
repurchase limit of our previously announced stock buyback plan from $25 million
to $35 million.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, we repurchased 476,300
shares of common stock for approximately $4.9 million pursuant to this plan.
From the inception of the plan through March 31, 2000, we have repurchased an
aggregate of approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock for approximately
$19.7 million, leaving a balance of approximately $15.3 million available for
future share repurchases.

     We have no other material commitments or off balance sheet financing
arrangements that under current market conditions are expected to materially
affect our future liquidity.



           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


     We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on
our mortgage loans receivable and bank debt.  Both our mortgage banking
subsidiary, Family Lending, and our mortgage banking joint venture, SPH
Mortgage, seek to manage interest rate risk with respect to loan commitments and
loans held for sale by preselling loans on a best efforts basis.  To enhance
potential returns on the sale of mortgage loans, Family Lending has begun
selling a portion of its mortgage loans on a non-presold mandatory delivery
basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  To hedge its interest rate risk
associated with extending interest rate commitments to customers prior to
selling closed loans to investors, Family Lending has entered into forward sale
commitments of mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter ended March
31, 2000.  While our hedging strategy of buying and selling mortgage-backed
securities should assist us in mitigating risk associated with selling loans on
a mandatory delivery basis, these instruments involve elements of market risk
which could result in losses on loans sold in this manner if not hedged
properly.  In January 2000, Family Lending retained a third party advisory firm
to assist with selling loans on a mandatory delivery basis and entering into
forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities.

     Other than entering into forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed
securities described above, there have been no other material changes in our
market risk exposure since December 31, 1999.  Please see our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 for further discussion related to
our market risk exposure.
