March 25, 1998.

Backlog
     Sales of the Company's homes are generally made pursuant to a standard
contract which requires a down payment of up to 10% of the sales price.  The
contract includes a financing contingency which permits the customer to cancel
in the event mortgage financing at prevailing interest rates (including
financing arranged by the Company) is unobtainable within a specified period,
typically four to six weeks.  The Company includes an undelivered home sale in
its backlog upon execution of the sales contracts and receipt of the down
payment.  Revenue is recognized only upon the closing and delivery of a home.
The Company estimates that the average period between the execution of a
purchase agreement for a home and delivery is approximately six months.  The
following table sets forth the Company's backlog for the periods indicated:

with 541 contracts in the quarter ended April 30, 1997.  The Company is

selling price of homes delivered decreased 9.6% (to $188,000 from $208,000). 
The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily attributable to a
higher velocity of homes delivered in backlog during the three months ended
April 30, 1998 compared with the prior-year period.  Management believes that
changes in the average selling price of homes delivered from period to period
are attributable to discrete factors at each of its subdivisions, including
product mix and premium lot availability, and cannot be predicted for future
periods with any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales decreased approximately $2.3 million
during the three months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of a decrease in commercial land sales at
Pembroke Falls, a master-planned community in South Florida.

     Cost of home sales increased $16.5 million (or 19.9%) compared to the
quarter ended April 30, 1997 primarily due to the related increase in home
sale revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 
85.4% from 85.5% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.
 
     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $2.7 million (or 27.4%) during the three months
ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1997 period,
primarily due to selling and marketing expenses associated with the increased
number of homes delivered during the period and an increase in selling
expenditures related to an increase in the number of residential subdivisions. 
S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended
April 30, 1998 increased to 10.2% compared to 9.4%, primarily due to an
increase in selling expenditures related to an increase in the number of
residential subdivisions.
   
     Primarily as a result of an increase in revenues, net income before
extraordinary item increased by $645,000 in the three months ended April 30,
1998 from the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

Six Months Ended April 30, 1998 compared to April 30, 1997.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the six months ended
April 30, 1998 increased $1.7 million (or .9%) compared to the same period in
fiscal 1997. The number of homes delivered increased 5.7% (to 1008 from 954)
and the average selling price of homes delivered decreased 4.4% (to $194,000
from $203,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily 
                                      10
attributable to a higher velocity of homes delivered in backlog during the six
months ended April 30, 1998 compared with the prior year period.  Management
believes that changes in the average selling price of homes delivered from
period to period are attributable to discrete factors at each of its
subdivisions, including product mix and premium lot availability, and cannot be
predicted for future periods with any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales increased approximately $4.8 million
during the six months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in commercial land sales
at Pembroke Falls, a master-planned community in South Florida.

     Cost of home sales decreased $500,000 (or .3%) compared to the same period 
in fiscal 1997 primarily due to the product mix in home sale revenues.  Cost of
home sales as a percentage of home sales were comparable for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 and the same period in fiscal year 1998.
 
     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $3.3 million (or 17.1%) during the six months
ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1997 period,
primarily due to selling and marketing expenses associated with the increased
number of residential subdivisions and increased general and administrative
expenses associated with payroll costs.  S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total
revenues for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased to 10.6% compared to
9.5%, primarily due to the increased selling costs related to increase number
of residential subdivisions for the period as compared to the prior year.
   
     Primarily as a result of the increase in revenues, net income before
extraordinary item increased by 700,000 in the six months ended April 30, 1998
from the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's financing needs depend upon its construction volume, asset
turnover and land acquisitions.  The Company has financed and expects to
continue to finance, its working capital needs through funds generated by 
operations and borrowings.  Funds for future land acquisitions and construction
costs are expected to be provided primarily by cash flows from operations and
future borrowing as permitted under the Company's bank credit facilities.

     At April 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding $17.9 million of purchase
money mortgages and bank borrowings of $41.4 million under its various
revolving lines of credit, and had available additional borrowings of $61.5
million.  The Company believes that amounts generated from operations and such
additional borrowings will provide adequate funds to finance its homebuilding
activities and meet its debt service requirements for fiscal year 1998.
     
     The Company has two primary credit agreements (the "Agreements") with
various lending institutions which provided for a combined $130.0 million
collateralized revolving line of credit.  Borrowings under these Agreements
bear interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.50% to prime plus .25% at the
Company's election.  Available borrowings under the Agreements are limited to
certain percentages of finished lots, construction costs, land and land under
development.  The Company is currently in discussions with a group of banks to
obtain an unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for working capital
and general corporate purposes.  If obtained, the new facility would be used
to replace all of the Company's existing lines of credit, other than its
warehouse line of credit.

                                       11                   
     On October 17, 1997, the Company announced the early redemption of $15.0
million of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003.  On November 18,
1997, the Company redeemed approximately $14.6 million aggregate principal
amount of the debentures.  The Company established a $15.0 million short term
unsecured credit facility to fund this redemption.  During the three months
ended April 30, 1998 the Company converted 14.8 million of the debentures into
approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock.

     In February 1998, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $137.1
million from the sale of 3.1 million shares of common stock and $100 million
principal amount of 9.25% Senior Notes due 2008.  Proceeds from these offerings
were used to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

     Preferred Home Mortgage Company ("PHMC") has a warehouse line of credit in
the amount of $23.0 million which is guaranteed by the Company.  At April 30,
1998, PHMC had outstanding borrowings of $19.6 million pursuant to such credit
line from origination of mortgage loans.  The Company is currently negotiating
a $25 million warehouse line of credit to meet the future needs of its mortgage
company.

     LAND ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION FINANCING.  The Company is continually
exploring opportunities to purchase parcels of land for its homebuilding
operations and is, at any given time, in various stages of proposing, making
offers for, and negotiating the acquisition of various parcels, whether
outright or through options.  During the six months ended April 30, 1998, the
Company increased land inventories approximately $79.8 million to provide land
for continued growth.
                     
     The Company has increased its land development and construction activities
in response to current and anticipated demand and expects to pursue additional
land acquisition and development opportunities in the future.  However, the
Company's ability to undertake significant additional  projects is expected to
depend in part upon the availability of financing on satisfactory terms.  To
date, the Company has not had any significant difficulties in securing
acquisition, development and construction financing and, except with respect
to major land acquisitions, management believes that such financing will
continue to be available on satisfactory terms.  However, there can be no
assurance that sufficient financing on satisfactory terms will continue to be
available.
