BACKLOG

The following table sets forth the Company's backlog as of the dates indicated:

                               Number of
           June 30,              Homes                 Sales Value
           --------            ---------               ------------

            1996                  638                  $90,800,000
            1995                  514                  $54,700,000


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996, increased by 29.6%, to $38.1
million, from $29.4 million for the comparable period of 1995. The number of
homes closed by the Company increased by 13.6% to 310 units for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, from 273 units during the same period in 1995. The average
selling price of a home increased 14.2% to $122,800, during the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from $107,500 for the comparable period in 1995. This
increase was principally due to a shift in the sales mix to a greater number of
homes closed in single family developments and fewer homes sold in multi-family
developments. Sales prices in multi-family developments are typically lower than
in single family developments.

Gross profit increased by 36.6%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996, from $4.1 million for the comparable period of 1995. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 14.6% from 14.0% primarily due to decreased
sales concessions which had been used to stimulate sales activity in the last
two quarters of calendar 1994 for units closing in fiscal 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 37.5% to $4.4 million
in the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $3.2 million for the comparable
period of 1995. The increase is due primarily to increased advertising and
overhead costs in many of the Company's new markets where sales have occurred,
resulting in the increased backlog, but revenues have not yet been recognized.
As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense
increased to 11.6% for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, from 10.8%
for the same period in 1995.

Interest expense increased to $116,587 for the three months ended June 30, 1996,
from $44 for the comparable period in 1995. The Company capitalizes certain
interest costs for land development and includes such capitalized interest in
cost of home sales when the related homes are delivered to purchasers. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings as a result
of the sharply higher sales and backlog levels in the current period versus the
same period last year.

The Company's effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 40% which
reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income tax
benefit.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $4,028,000.

The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset
turnover, land acquisition and inventory balances. In December 1994, the Company
issued $25 million of 12.11% Senior Notes payable and in February 1996, the
Company issued an additional $10 million of 9.42% Senior Notes payable
(collectively referred to as the "Senior Notes"). Proceeds were used to retire
certain mortgage notes payable and for working capital purposes. Interest on the
Senior Notes is due monthly through November 1996. Principal and interest
payments of approximately $552,000 are due monthly beginning December 1996
through December 2004.

At June 30, 1996, the Company also had a $12.0 million revolving credit facility
from a commercial lender. Borrowings under this facility's line of credit
totaled $8.5 million at June 30, 1996. The Company has the capacity as of June
30, 1996 to borrow an additional $5.3 of short-term debt, if otherwise
available, without violating the terms of the Senior Notes. The issuance of the
Senior Notes and the availability of the unsecured line of credit provide
additional liquidity and flexibility to the Company over the next two to three
years. The Company believes that amounts available under its existing borrowing
arrangements (assuming extensions and renewals of debt in the ordinary course of
business) and amounts generated from operations will provide funds adequate for
its home building activities and debt service including the Company's recent
expansions to Iowa, Florida,New Jersey and Indiana.


INFLATION

The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely
affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land,
material and labor costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates may
significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to
prospective purchasers. The Company attempts to pass through to its customers
any increase in its costs through increased selling prices, and to date,
inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations.
