                       D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 2000

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  unaudited,  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  interim  financial  information  and  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been  included.  Certain  reclassifications  have been made in prior years'
financial  statements  to conform to  classifications  used in the current year.
Operating  results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending September 30, 2000.

Business - The Company is a national  builder  that is engaged  primarily in the
construction and sale of single-family housing in the United States. The Company
designs,  builds and sells single-family houses on lots developed by the Company
and  on  finished  lots  which  it  purchases,   ready  for  home  construction.
Periodically,  the Company sells land or lots it has developed. The Company also
provides title agency and mortgage brokerage services to its home buyers.

NOTE B - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's financial reporting segments consist of homebuilding and financial
services.  The Company's  homebuilding  operations comprise the most substantial
part of its business,  with  approximately 99% of consolidated  revenues for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The homebuilding  operations
segment  generates the majority of its revenues from the sale of completed homes
with a lesser  amount  from the sale of land and lots.  The  financial  services
segment  generates  its revenues  from  originating  and selling  mortgages  and
collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

NOTE C - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share for the three and nine month  periods  ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding.  Diluted  net  income  per share is based on the  weighted  average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share (in thousands):

                                   Three months ended         Nine months ended

  assumed conversions               62,321      64,919         62,581     63,175
                                   =======     =======        =======    =======

Options to purchase  1,996,000 and  1,549,000  shares of common stock at various
prices were  outstanding  during the nine  months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  but were not included in the computation of diluted  earnings per
share because the exercise  prices were greater than the average market price of
the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Revenues from homebuilding  activities increased 13.6%, to $946.4 million (5,010
homes  closed) for the three  months ended June 30,  2000,  from $833.1  million
(4,962 homes closed) for the comparable period of 1999. Revenues from home sales
increased  in  four  of the  Company's  five  market  regions,  with  percentage
increases  ranging from 6.2% in the Midwest  region to 26.6% in the West region.
Revenues from home sales declined 1.6% in the Southwest region. The increases in
both revenues and homes closed were due to strong housing demand  throughout the
majority of the Company's markets.

The average selling price of homes closed during the three months ended June 30,
2000 was  $185,800,  up 11.8% from  $166,200  for the same  period in 1999.  The
increase in average  selling price was due to changes in the mix of homes closed
and, with the strong housing demand,  the Company's  ability to sell more custom
features with its homes and to raise prices to cover increased costs.

The value of new net sales contracts  increased 8.1%, to $1,001.6 million (5,095
homes) for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000,  from $926.8  million  (5,277
homes)  for the same  period  of 1999.  The  value  of new net  sales  contracts
increased  in  three of the  Company's  five  market  regions,  with  percentage
increases  ranging from 4.4% in the Southwest to 32.5% in the West. The value of
new net sales contracts  declined 2.3% and 10.3% in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic
regions,  respectively.  The  average  price of a new net sales  contract in the
three  months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $196,600,  up 12.0%  over the  $175,600
average in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in average selling
price was due to changes in the mix of homes sold and,  with the strong  housing
demand, the Company's ability to sell more custom features with its homes and to
raise prices to cover increased costs.

At June 30, 2000, the Company's  backlog of sales contracts was $1,582.2 million
(7,823 homes), up 7.5% from $1,471.4 million (8,267 homes) at June 30, 1999. The
average  sales price of homes in sales backlog was $202,300 at June 30, 2000, up
13.7% from the  $178,000  average at June 30, 1999.  The average  sales price of
homes in  backlog  typically  is  higher  than the sales  price of closed  homes
because it takes longer to construct more expensive homes.

Cost of sales  increased by 14.0%,  to $773.9 million for the three months ended
June 30,  2000,  from $678.8  million for the  comparable  quarter of 1999.  The
increase  in cost  of  sales  was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a  percentage  of home sales  revenues was down
0.2%,  to 81.2% for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,  from 81.4% for the
comparable period of 1999,  primarily due to the change in the mix of homes sold
and the higher  margins  obtained  from  selling more custom  features.  Cost of
land/lot  sales  increased  to 117.6% of land/lot  sales  revenues for the three
months  ended  June 30,  2000,  from  88.2% for the  comparable  period of 1999,
primarily  due to the  Company's  decision in the current  quarter to reduce the
carrying amount of two parcels of developed land to their net realizable  value.
Total  homebuilding cost of sales was 81.8% of total homebuilding  revenues,  up
0.3% from 81.5% for the comparable period of 1999, primarily due to the increase
in land/lot cost of sales as a percentage of revenues.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from homebuilding activities
increased  by 18.9%,  to $97.2  million in the three months ended June 30, 2000,
from  $81.8  million  in the  comparable  period  of 1999.  As a  percentage  of
revenues,  SG&A expenses  increased to 10.3% for the three months ended June 30,
2000, from 9.8% for the comparable period of 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses
as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to higher costs incurred in order to
ensure that the Company is properly positioned for its peak home-closing season,
which normally occurs during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

Interest  expense  associated  with  homebuilding  activities  decreased to $2.3
million  in the three  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  from $2.9  million in the
comparable   period  of  1999.  As  a  percentage  of   homebuilding   revenues,
homebuilding  interest expense decreased to 0.2% for the three months ended June
30, 2000, from 0.3% in the comparable  period of 1999. In anticipation of summer
closings, the Company increased its inventory during the three months ended June
30, 2000. As a result,  inventory under  construction  or development  grew at a
more rapid pace than  interest-bearing  debt.  Therefore,  compared  to 1999,  a
larger proportion of total interest incurred was capitalized to inventory in the
third  quarter of fiscal  2000.  The  Company  follows a policy of  capitalizing
interest  only on  inventory  under  construction  or  development.  During both
periods,  the  Company  expensed  the  portion of  incurred  interest  and other
financing  costs which could not be charged to inventory.  Capitalized  interest
and  other  financing  costs are  included  in cost of sales at the time of home
closings.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999

Revenues from  homebuilding  activities  increased  16.3%,  to $2,532.1  million
(13,866  homes  closed) for the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  from  $2,176.6
million (12,971 homes closed) for the comparable  period of 1999.  Revenues from
home sales  increased in all of the Company's  market  regions,  with percentage
increases  ranging  from 10.2% in the  Southwest  region to 40.9% in the Midwest
region.  The  increases  in both  revenues  and homes  closed were due to strong
housing demand and the increases  attributable  to the  acquisition of Cambridge
Homes in January  1999. In markets where the Company  operated  throughout  both
nine-month periods, home sales revenues increased by 14.5%, to $2,423.8 million,
and the number of homes closed increased 4.6%, to 13,548 homes.

The average  selling price of homes closed during the nine months ended June 30,
2000 was  $179,800,  up 10.0% from  $163,400  for the same  period of 1999.  The
increase in average  selling price was due to changes in the mix of homes closed
and, with the strong housing demand,  the Company's  ability to sell more custom
features with its homes and to raise prices to cover increased costs.

The  value of new net sales  contracts  increased  11.2%,  to  $2,719.0  million
(14,380  homes) for the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  from $2,445.5  million
(14,445 homes) for the same period of 1999. The value of new net sales contracts
increased  in  four  of the  Company's  five  market  regions,  with  percentage
increases  ranging from 8.8% in the Southwest to 25.7% in the West. The value of
new net sales contracts  declined 5.5% in the Mid-Atlantic  region.  The overall
increase  in the  value  of new net  sales  contracts  was due in part to  sales
achieved by Cambridge  Homes,  acquired in January  1999.  In markets  where the
Company operated throughout both nine-month periods,  the value of new net sales
contracts  increased 8.6%, to $2,650.3 million,  and the number of new net sales
contracts  decreased 2.0%, to 14,133 homes. The average price of a new net sales
contract in the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $189,100,  up 11.7% over the
$169,300 average in the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in average
selling price was due to changes in the mix of homes closed and, with the strong
housing  demand,  the  Company's  ability to sell more custom  features with its
homes and to raise prices to cover increased costs.

Cost of sales increased by 16.1%, to $2,064.9  million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2000,  from $1,777.9  million for the  comparable  period of 1999.  The
increase  in cost  of  sales  was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a  percentage  of home sales  revenues was down
0.1%,  to 81.4% for the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  from 81.5% for the
comparable period of 1999. Cost of land/lot sales increased to 94.2% of land/lot
sales  revenues  for the nine  months  ended June 30,  2000,  from 88.4% for the
comparable  period  of 1999,  primarily  due to the  Company's  decision  in the
current  quarter to reduce the carrying  amount of two parcels of developed land
to their net realizable  value.  Total  homebuilding  cost of sales was 81.5% of
total  homebuilding  revenue,  down 0.2% from 81.7% for the comparable period of
1999.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from homebuilding activities
increased  by 19.5%,  to $262.1  million in the nine months ended June 30, 2000,
from  $219.3  million  in the  comparable  period of 1999.  As a  percentage  of
revenues,  SG&A  expenses  increased to 10.4% for the nine months ended June 30,
2000,  from  10.1% for the  comparable  period  of 1999.  The  increase  in SG&A
expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to higher costs incurred in
order  to  ensure  that  the  Company  is  properly   positioned  for  its  peak
home-closing  season,  which  normally  occurs during the fourth  quarter of the
fiscal year.

Interest  expense  associated  with  homebuilding  activities  decreased to $7.2
million  in the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  from $8.8  million  in the
comparable   period  of  1999.  As  a  percentage  of   homebuilding   revenues,
homebuilding  interest expense  decreased to 0.3% for the nine months ended June
30, 2000, from 0.4% for the comparable period of 1999. In anticipation of summer
closings,  the  Company  increased  its  inventory  during  the second and third
quarter. As a result, inventory under construction or development grew at a more
rapid pace than interest-bearing debt. Therefore,  in the nine months ended June
30, 2000, a larger  proportion of total  interest  incurred was  capitalized  to
inventory than in the comparable  periods of fiscal 1999. The Company  follows a
policy  of  capitalizing  interest  only  on  inventory  under  construction  or
development.  During both periods,  the Company expensed the portion of incurred
interest  and other  financing  costs which  could not be charged to  inventory.
Capitalized  interest and other financing costs are included in cost of sales at
the time of home closings.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Revenues from the financial  services segment  increased 30.4%, to $12.8 million
in the three  months ended June 30,  2000,  from $9.8 million in the  comparable
period of 1999. The increase in financial services revenues was due to the rapid
expansion  of the  Company's  mortgage  loan  and  title  services  provided  to
customers of the Company's  homebuilding  segment.  These  activities  are being
expanded to additional markets served by the homebuilding segment. SG&A expenses
associated with financial services increased 43.4%, to $9.2 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from $6.4 million in the comparable  period of 1999.
As a percentage of financial services revenues, SG&A expenses increased by 6.4%,
to 71.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2000,  from 65.1% in the  comparable
period in 1999,  due  primarily  to 2000  startup  expenses in new markets  with
limited revenues.

Nine months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Nine months Ended June 30, 1999

Revenues from the financial  services segment  increased 33.8%, to $34.9 million
in the nine months ended June 30,  2000,  from $26.1  million in the  comparable
period of 1999. The increase in financial services revenues was due to the rapid
expansion  of the  Company's  mortgage  loan  and  title  services  provided  to
customers of the Company's  homebuilding  segment.  These  activities  are being
expanded to additional markets served by the homebuilding segment. SG&A expenses
associated with financial services increased 51.6%, to $25.2 million in the nine
months ended June 30, 2000, from $16.6 million in the comparable period of 1999.
As a percentage of financial services revenues, SG&A expenses increased by 8.4%,
to 72.0% in the nine months  ended June 30, 1999,  from 63.6% in the  comparable
period in 1999,  due  primarily  to 2000  startup  expenses in new markets  with
limited revenues.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2000, the Company had available  cash and cash  equivalents of $79.1
million.  Inventories  (including finished homes,  construction in progress, and
developed  residential  lots and other land) at June 30, 2000,  had increased by
$316.4 million since  September 30, 1999, due to a general  increase in business
activity and the  expansion of operations  in the  Company's  market areas.  The
inventory increase was financed largely by issuing $200 million in senior notes,
borrowing an additional $20 million under the revolving  credit  facility and by
retaining  earnings.  As a result,  the Company's  ratio of  homebuilding  notes
payable to total capital at June 30, 2000,  increased 1.3% to 59.0%,  from 57.7%
at September 30, 1999. The stockholders'  equity to total assets ratio increased
0.2%, to 34.0% at June 30, 2000, from 33.8% at September 30, 1999.

The Company has an $825 million, unsecured revolving credit facility, consisting
of a $775 million four-year revolving loan and a $50 million four-year letter of
credit facility that matures in 2002. Additionally,  the Company has another $25
million  standby  letter of credit  agreement and a $13.5 million  non-renewable
letter of credit facility acquired with the Cambridge  acquisition.  At June 30,
2000, the Company had  outstanding  homebuilding  debt of $1,306.8  million,  of
which $415 million  represented  advances under the revolving  credit  facility.
Under the debt covenants associated with the revolving credit facility,  at June
30, 2000, the Company had  additional  homebuilding  borrowing  capacity of $360
million.  The Company has entered into multi-year interest rate swap agreements,
aggregating  $200  million,  that  fix the  interest  rate on a  portion  of the
variable  rate  revolving  credit  facility.  An  additional  interest rate swap
agreement,  with a  notional  amount  of $148.5  million,  was  entered  into in
December 1999. This agreement has the effect of converting part of the Company's
fixed rate debt to a variable  rate,  which is  currently  less than the related
fixed rate, and helps  re-establish the Company's  balance of fixed and variable
rate debt at historical levels.

During March and June 2000, under an existing shelf registration statement,  the
Company issued $200 million aggregate  principal amount of 10 1/2% Senior Notes,
due 2005.  The proceeds of the notes were used to repay  outstanding  debt under
our revolving credit facility and for general  corporate  purposes.  The Company
has  $400  million  remaining  on  its  currently   effective   universal  shelf
registration statement, which facilitates access to the capital markets.

At June 30, 2000,  the financial  services  segment has mortgage  loans held for
sale of $99.9 million and loan  commitments  for $110.1  million at fixed rates.
The Company  hedges the interest rate market risk on these  mortgage  loans held
for  sale  and loan  commitments  through  the use of  best-efforts  whole  loan
delivery  commitments,  mandatory  forward  commitments to sell  mortgage-backed
securities and the purchase of options on financial instruments.

The  financial  services  segment has a $175 million,  one-year  bank  warehouse
facility that is secured by mortgage loans held for sale. The warehouse facility
is not guaranteed by the parent company.  As of June 30, 2000, $82.2 million had
been drawn  under this  facility.  In the  future,  it is  anticipated  that all
mortgage company activities will be financed under the warehouse facility.

The Company's rapid growth and acquisition  strategy require significant amounts
of cash. It is anticipated that future home construction, lot and land purchases
and acquisitions will be funded through internally  generated funds and existing
credit facilities.  Additionally, an effective shelf registration contains about
7.4 million  shares of common  stock  issuable  to effect,  in whole or in part,
possible  future  acquisitions.  In the future,  the Company intends to maintain
effective  shelf  registration  statements that would  facilitate  access to the
capital markets.

During the nine months ended June 30,  2000,  the  Company's  Board of Directors
declared one quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share and two quarterly
cash dividends of $0.04 per common share,  the last of which was paid on May 22,
2000.

In November  1998,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  approved  stock and debt
repurchase  programs for up to $100 million each. These programs are intended to
allow the Company to repurchase securities at attractive prices should favorable
market conditions occur. During the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
repurchased  in the open market $14.5 million of its common stock,  or 1,104,900
shares at an average cost of $13.16.

In July 1999, the Company formed GP-Encore, Inc. and Encore II, Inc., which have
since  entered  into three  separate  limited  partnership  agreements  with the
purpose of investing in start-up and emerging growth  companies whose technology
and business  plans will permit the Company to leverage its size,  expertise and
customer base in the homebuilding  industry. The Company has agreed to invest up
to $125 million  through  these limited  partnerships  over the next four years.
These investments will be concentrated  primarily in e-commerce  businesses that
serve the homebuilding,  real estate and financial services industries,  as well
as in strategic  opportunities  that allow for  diversification of the Company's
operations.  As of June 30, 2000, the Company had made such investments totaling
$18.6 million, which are reported in homebuilding other assets.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for ordinary  expenditures for the construction of homes, the acquisition
of land and lots  for  development  and sale of  homes,  at June 30,  2000,  the
Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long term debt.  The Company
manages  its  exposure  to changes in interest  rates by  optimizing  the use of
variable and fixed rate debt.  In addition,  the Company has hedged its exposure
to changes in interest  rates on its  variable  rate bank debt by entering  into
interest rate swap  agreements to obtain a fixed  interest rate for a portion of
those borrowings.  Finally,  in order to maintain a more appropriate  balance of
variable and fixed rate debt,  the Company  entered  into an interest  rate swap
agreement  exchanging a variable rate interest  payment for a fixed rate payment
on a notional  amount equal to the $148.5  million  principal  amount of the 10%
Senior Notes due 2006.  The variable  payment for which the Company is obligated
is fixed through the 10% Senior Notes' first call date, April 15, 2001, and will
ensure that the Company  will have  received a net amount of $2.3  million as of
that date. Thereafter,  the variable payment will be made through the 10% Senior
Notes'  maturity,  April 15, 2006, and will be based upon the 90-day LIBOR rate,
plus 2.745%.

The following  table shows,  as of June 30, 2000,  the Company's  long term debt
obligations,  principal  cash  flows by  scheduled  maturity,  weighted  average
interest rates and estimated fair market value. In addition, the table shows the
notional amounts and weighted  average interest rates of the Company's  interest
rate swaps.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.    Changes in Securities.

      On June 8, 2000, the Company issued $50 million principal amount of its 10
1/2 % Senior Notes, due 2005 (the "Notes").  The $50 million principal amount of
Notes are in the same  series  as,  and are in  addition  to,  the $150  million
principal amount of Notes issued March 21, 2000 (the "Existing  Notes") pursuant
to the Eighth Supplemental  Indenture,  dated as of March 21, 2000. Prior to the
offering of the $50 million  principal amount of Notes, the Company obtained the
consents  of holders  of the  Existing  Notes to amend the  Eighth  Supplemental
Indenture to increase the  aggregate  principal  amount of the Notes that may be
issued thereunder from $150 million to $200 million. The Company also executed a
Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 5, 2000, which amended the Eighth
Supplement  Indenture to permit  issuance of the additional  Notes.  Each of the
supplemental  indentures is among the Company,  the Guarantors named therein and
American  Stock Transfer & Trust Company,  as Trustee.  The Eighth  Supplemental
Indenture,  and the  Indenture  to which it  relates  (dated  June 9,  1997,  as
supplemented),  impose  limitations  on the  ability  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  guaranteeing the Notes to, among other things, incur indebtedness,
make "Restricted Payments" (as defined,  which includes payments of dividends or
other  distributions on the Common Stock of the Company),  effect certain "Asset
Dispositions"  (as defined),  enter into certain  transactions  with affiliates,
merge or consolidate with any person,  or transfer all or  substantially  all of
their properties and assets. These limitations are substantially  similar to the
limitations  already existing with respect to the Company's 8% Senior Notes, due
2009,  and related  Indenture  and  Supplemental  Indenture.  Other  information
concerning the offering and issuance of the Notes has  previously  been reported
in,  and is  described  in, the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form S-3
(Registration  Number 333-76175) dated April 13, 1999, the Company's  Prospectus
