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:

     The increase in unit backlog at July 31, 1999 was due to a record 2,925
new homes sales contracts during the nine months ended July 31, 1999.  This
represents an 18.9% increase in the number of new home sales contracts signed,
when compared with 2,461 contracts in the nine months ended July 31, 1998.  The
Company is currently marketing in 102 subdivisions at July 31, 1999, compared
to 80 subdivisions at July 31, 1998.  At July 31, 1999, the Company was
marketing 15 subdivisions in South Florida; 19 in Central Florida; 18 in West
Coast Florida; 10 in Denver, CO; 12 in Dallas, TX; 7 in Virginia; 3 in Raleigh,
North Carolina; 13 in Phoenix, Arizona and 5 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Result of Operations:

Three Months Ended July 31, 1999 compared to July 31, 1998.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1999
increased $42.9 million (or 28.6%) compared to the same period in fiscal 1998.
The number of homes delivered increased 24.0% (to 967 from 780) and the average
selling price of homes delivered increased 3.6% (to $199,000 from $192,000).
The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily attributable to an
increased level of backlog at the beginning of the current quarter 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 $3.2 million
during the three months ended July 31, 1999, as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1998, 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 increased $33.6 million (or 26.2%) compared to the
quarter ended July 31, 1998 primarily due to the related increase in home sale
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 84.1%
from 85.7% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $4.1 million (or 27.6%) during the three months
ended July 31, 1999, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1998 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
July 31, 1999 decreased to 9.4% compared to 9.6%, primarily due to an increase
in home sales revenues for the period as compared to the prior year.

     Primarily as a result of an increase in revenues, income before
extraordinary items increased by $3.0 million in the three months ended July
31, 1999 from the comparable period in fiscal 1998.

Nine months Ended July 31, 1999 compared to July 31, 1998.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the nine months ended July 31,
1999 increased 165.7 million (or 48.0%) compared to the same period in fiscal
1998.  The number of homes delivered increased 43.8% (to 2,571 from 1,788) and
the average selling price of homes delivered increased 3.1% (to $199,000 from
$193,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to an increased level of backlog at the beginning of the current
period 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
                                     10

mix and premium lot availability, and cannot be predicted for future period with
any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales decreased approximately $5.1 million
during the nine months ended July 31, 1999, as compared to the same period in
fiscal 1998, 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 $138.1 million (or 47.0%) compared to the same
period in fiscal 1998 primarily due to the related increase in home sale
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 84.5%
from 85.0% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $14.1 million (or 37.3%) during the nine months
ended July 31, 1999, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1998 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 nine months ended July
31, 1999 decreased to 9.7% compared to 10.2% primarily due to an increase in
home sales revenue for the period as compared to the prior year.

     Primarily as a result of the increase in revenues, income before
extraordinary items increased by $7.9 million in the nine months ended July 31,
1999 from the comparable period in fiscal 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's financing needs are provided by cash flows from operations,
unsecured bank borrowings and from time to time the public debt and equity
markets.

     Cash flow from operations has improved as a result of increased revenue
from all homebuilding divisions.  The Company anticipates that cash flow from
operations before inventory additions will continue to increase in fiscal year
1999 as a result of increased new home deliveries.

     On April 23, 1999, the Company sold in a private placement pursuant to Rule
144A, $100,000,000 of 9.25% Series B Senior Notes due 2008 (Series B Notes).
The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $96.6 million from the Series
B Notes primarily to repay bank indebtedness and general corporate purposes
including land acquisition.

     On May 28, 1999, the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility was
amended including a reduction in the aggregate committed amount from $170
million to $100 million and the term of the facility was extended from May 2001
to May 2002. At July 31, 1999 the Company had outstanding borrowings of $100,000
and $11.3 million of letters of credit outstanding.  The Company believes that
funds generated from operations and expected borrowing availability under the
Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
requirements during fiscal 1999, with the exception of major land acquisitions,
if any.

     In addition, Preferred Home Mortgage Company (PHMC) has a warehouse line
of credit for $40.0 million which is guaranteed by the Company.  At July 31,
1999 the outstanding balance was $27.8 million to service origination of
mortgage loans. The Company believes that this line is sufficient for its
mortgage banking operation for the remainder of fiscal 1999.


                                    11

     Management does not anticipate that PHMC'S expansion of its operation will
significantly impact liquidity because the mortgages are generally sold within
a short period of time after their origination to the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA) or other qualified investors.  PHMC has established the
capability to retain the servicing of loans, however, during fiscal 1999 all
servicing rights were sold.

     LAND ACQUISITION.  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.  The
Company has continued to increase 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.

Risk Relating to the "Year 2000 Issue"

     The Company has done an assessment of the homebuilding and coporate
operations that utilize the significant information technology ("IT") system and
non-IT systems ("Systems) (embedded technology such as microprocessors in office
equipment).  The Company believes that the IT system is Year 2000 compliant in
all material respects.

     The Company has replaced certain non-compliant Systems and is in the
process of replacing others.  These Systems are not critical to the material
operations of the Company.  In substantially all of the cases, the replacement
or upgrading of the non-compliant Systems has occurred or will occur prior to
any exposure to the year 2000.  The Company does not believe that the non-
compliant Systems pose a material risk to the financial condition of the Company
and the cost of replacing, upgrading or otherwise changing the non-compliant
Systems will have a material adverse effect.  The Company cannot currently
determine to what extent the Year 2000 issue will affect the Systems of
governmental agencies on which the Company is dependent for zoning, building
permits and related matters that are critical to the Company's operation.

     The Company has surveyed and continues to survey its significant vendors,
subcontractors, suppliers and financial institutions to assess their readiness
for the year 2000.  To date, the responses have indicated their readiness or
anticipated readiness to the year 2000 issue.

     The Company believes the most likely Year 2000 worst-case scenario would
be the failure of some vendors, subcontractors or other third parties to achieve
compliance, resulting in a slowdown of the Company's operations.  In order to
address the potential non-compliance of third parties affecting the Company's
operations, the Company will continue to survey it largest suppliers,
subcontractors and vendors.

     The Company is currently developing its Year 2000 contingency plan.
