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 Company is currently marketing in 110 subdivisions at July 31, 2000,
compared to 102 subdivisions at July 31, 1999.  At July 31, 2000, the Company
was marketing 17 subdivisions in South Florida; 27 in Central Florida; 11 in
West Coast Florida; 11 in Denver, CO; 15 in Dallas, TX; 6 in Virginia; 1 in
Raleigh, North Carolina; 15 in Phoenix, Arizona and 7 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Result of Operations:

Three Months Ended July 31, 2000 compared to July 31, 1999.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2000
increased $15.5 million (or 8.0%) compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.
The number of homes delivered decreased 5.7% (to 912 from 967) and the average
selling price of homes delivered increased 14.6% (to $228,000 from $199,000).
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 $5.4 million
during the three months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1999, primarily as a result of a sale of a residential land parcel in
Virginia in the amount of $4.4 million.

     Cost of home sales increased $11.1 million (or 6.9%) compared to the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 primarily due to the related increase in home sale
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 83.2%
from 84.1% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $1.8 million (or 9.4%) during the three months
ended July 31, 2000, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1999 period,
primarily due to general and administrative expenses.  S,G&A expenses as a
percentage of total revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 decreased
to 9.3% compared to 9.4% for the same period in fiscal year 1999.

     Primarily as a result of an increase in revenues and a decrease in cost of
home sales, net income increased by $2.5 million in the three months ended July
31, 2000 from the comparable period in fiscal 1999.

Nine months Ended July 31, 2000 compared to July 31, 1999.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the nine months ended July 31,
2000 increased $54.3 million (or 10.6%) compared to the same period in fiscal
1999.  The number of homes delivered increased 0.4% (to 2,582 from 2,571) and
the average selling price of homes delivered increased 10.0% (to $219,000 from
$199,000).  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
mix and premium lot availability, and cannot be predicted for future period with
any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales increased approximately $13.5
million during the nine months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999, primarily as a result of a increase in commercial and
residential land sales on the west coast of Florida, Virginia, and South
Florida.
                                      10
     Cost of home sales increased $40.7 million (or 9.4%) compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999 primarily due to the related increase in home sale
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 83.6%
from 84.5% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $6.0 million (or 11.6%) during the nine months
ended July 31, 2000, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1999 period,
primarily due to selling and marketing expenses associated with the increased
revenues from home sales during the period and an increase in general and
administrative expenditures.  S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues
for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 decreased to 9.6% compared to 9.7% for
the same period in fiscal year 1999.

     Primarily as a result of the increase in revenues and a decrease in cost
of home sales, net income increased by $5.8 million in the nine months ended
July 31, 2000 from the comparable period in fiscal 1999.

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 revenues
and a decrease in cost of home sales.  The Company anticipates that cash flow
from operations before inventory additions will continue to increase in fiscal
year 2000 as a result of a decrease in cost of house sales.

     On June 7, 2000, Standard & Poor's announced that it had upgraded the
Company's corporate credit rating and the Company's senior unsecured notes to
"B+" from "B", with a stable outlook.

     On June 23, 2000, the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility was
amended to provide additional financial flexibility and the term of the facility
was extended from May 2002 to May 2003.  At July 31, 2000, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $100,000 and $14.7 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 2000, with the
exception of major land acquisitions, if any.

     In addition, Preferred Home Mortgage Company (PHMC) has a warehouse line
of credit in the amount of $40.0 million which is guaranteed by the Company.
At July 31, 2000, the outstanding balance was $18.9 million to service
origination of mortgage loans.  The Company believes that this line of credit
is sufficient for its mortgage banking operation for the remainder of fiscal
2000.

     Management does not anticipate that PHMC'S operation will 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 2000, the Company has not retained
servicing rights relating to loans 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
                                       11
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.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March, 2000 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation.  Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the
recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation
arrangements that are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Interpretation 44 is effective
July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that are effective retroactively to
December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000.  Interpretation 44 is not expected to
have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Agreement, and the Administrative Agent.   As of the date of this Agreement,

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries (defined in the Credit Agreement)
of Borrower existing as of the date of this Agreement, the Banks now party to
the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent desire to recognize certain
changes and amend the Credit Agreement, all as expressly set forth in this
Agreement;

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries (defined in the Credit Agreement)
of Borrower existing as of the date of this Agreement, the Banks now party to
the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and do hereby covenant and
agree as follows:



1.   Recitals are True and Correct; and Defined Terms.

     The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and form a part of this
Agreement and any capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

2.   New Guarantors.
                                      22
     Engle Homes Delaware, Inc. and Engle Homes Financing, Inc. are each a
Delaware corporation, a new Subsidiary of Borrower, and New Guarantor, and each
has and does hereby become a Guarantor in accordance with Section 11.4 of the
Credit Agreement, and does hereby assume and become liable for all indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations of a Guarantor under the Guaranty and other Loan
Documents, on a joint and several basis with each of the other Guarantors.

3.   Changes in Commitments and Banks.


     (a)  Borrower delivered an Extension Request pursuant to Section 2.21(a)
          of the Credit Agreement, requesting a one-year extension of the
          Facility Maturity Date from May 29, 2002 to May 29, 2003, and that the
          Banks amend the Credit Agreement as set forth in this Agreement.  All
          of the Banks approved the Extension Request, except for Fleet National
          Bank (f/k/a BankBoston, N.A.).  Prior to the date of this Agreement,
          Fleet National Bank (f/k/a BankBoston, N.A.) assigned $4,152,248 of
          its Commitment to Bank of America, National Association, $4,844,291
          of its Commitment to Guaranty Federal Bank, FSB, and $2,768,167 of its
          Commitment to Wells Fargo Bank West, thus increasing the respective
          Commitments of those Banks by the amount so assigned.  As a result of
          those assignments, Fleet National Bank (f/k/a BankBoston, N.A.) has
          no further Commitment.

     (b)  Schedule "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein replaces Schedule
          "A" to the Credit Agreement and sets forth each of the Banks now party
          to the Credit Agreement and their respective Commitments as of the
          date of this Agreement, after giving effect to the changes described
          in paragraph (a) of this Section of this Agreement.

     (c)  The Notes originally issued to each Bank party to this Agreement shall
          continue to evidence all Loans now or hereafter made by or owing to
          such Bank, after giving effect to the foregoing changes, since each
          Bank's Commitment, as so increased, is now less than the original
          stated principal amount of its respective Note.


4.   Modifications to the Credit Agreement

     a.   Facility Maturity Date

          (i)    The definition of "Facility Maturity Date" in Article I of the
     Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

          ""Facility Maturity Date" means May 29, 2003, as the same may be
          extended for any one year period as provided in Section 2.21."

          (ii)   The first and second sentences of paragraph (a) of Section 2.21
     of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

          "On an annual basis, no earlier than twenty seven (27) months and no
          later than twenty four (24) months prior to the then existing Facility
          Maturity Date, Borrower may request a one-year extension of the
          Facility Maturity Date by submitting a written request for an
          extension to Agent (an "Extension Request"), which Extension Request
          shall include the total amount of the extension fee Borrower is
          willing to pay for the extension.  Promptly upon (but not later than
          five (5) Business Days after) receipt of the Extension Request, Agent
          shall notify each Bank that Agent received an Extension Request and
                                      23
          of the amount of the extension fee that would be paid to such Bank if
          the Extension Request is approved by all Banks (including, if
          applicable, Replacement Banks), and shall request each Bank to approve
          the Extension Request."

          (iii)     Consistent with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
     (a) of this Section 4 of this Agreement, all other references to "two (2)
     years" in the remainder of Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement are hereby
     amended and restated to be "one (1) year".  As a result, except for the
     amendment and restatement of the first and second sentences of paragraph
     (a) of Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement in accordance with paragraph
     4(a)(i) of this Agreement, the remainder of Section 2.21 of the Credit
     Agreement shall remain in the form expressed in the Original Credit
     Agreement.

          (iv)      Paragraph (c) of Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement is
     hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

          "(c) Extension Fee.  If the Facility Maturity Date is extended
          pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.21, then the Borrower shall
          pay to Agent the extension fee in the amount set forth in the
          Extension Request approved by all Banks (including, if applicable,
          Replacement Banks).  The extension fee shall be paid by Borrower to
          Agent, in advance, within five (5) Business Days after Agent notifies
          Borrower of the extension of the Facility Maturity Date pursuant to
          Section 2.21(a).  The extension fee shall be non-refundable in any
          event.  Once paid by Borrower, SunTrust shall retain any portion of
          the extension fee due to it as Bank and Agent, and pay to each other
          Bank (including, if applicable, Replacement Banks) its respective
          portion of the extension fee."

     b.   Borrowing Base.

          (i)     The reference to "Twenty Two Million and 00/100 Dollars
     ($22,000,000.00)" in clause (b) in the definition of Borrowing Base in
     Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to be
     "Twenty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00)."

          (ii)    The reference to "Twenty Nine Million and 00/100 Dollars
     ($29,000,000.00)" in clause (c) in the definition of Borrowing Base in
     Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to be
     "Thirty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00)."

          (iii)   The reference to "twenty percent (20%)" in clause (e) in the
     definition of Borrowing Base in Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby
     amended and restated to be "Twenty Five Percent (25%)."

     c.   Letter of Credit Facility Limitation.

     The reference to "$10,000,000.00" in clause (ii) of Section 4.2 of the
     Original Credit Agreement, as amended and restated in the First Amendment
     to be "$15,000,000.00, is hereby amended and restated to be
     "$20,000,000.00."

     d.   Indebtedness Limitation.

     The reference to "$35,000,000" in clause (viii) of Section 8.2 of the
     Credit Agreement, as amended and restated in the First Amendment, is hereby
     amended and restated to be "$40,000,000."
