THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999, decreased by 3.5%, to
$49.6 million, from $51.4 million for the comparable period of 1998. The
number of homes closed by the Company decreased by 13.0% to 302 units for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from 347 units during the same period in
1998. The average selling price of a home increased 10.9% to $164,200, during
the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $148,000 for the comparable period
in 1998. This increase was due to an overall increase in prices for homes
sold by the Company.

Gross profit increased by 2.9%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, from $6.9 million for the comparable period of 1998. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 14.4% from 13.4% primarily
due to higher margin homes closing during the current quarter compared to
those closing in the comparable period of 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 10.7% to $6.2
million in the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $5.6 million for the
comparable period of 1998. The increase is due to increased marketing and
advertising costs as a result of preopening costs for the large number of new
communities opening for sales over the next six months. As a percentage of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expense increased to 12.6% for
the three month period ended June 30, 1999, from 10.9% for the same period in
1998.

Interest expense decreased to $488,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from $717,000 for the comparable period in 1998. The decrease in
interest expense is primarily due to the Company's lower borrowing needs for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the three months ended June
30, 1998. 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.

The Company's effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 41% which
reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income
tax benefit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1999, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,584,000.

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.
Principal and interest payments of approximately $552,000 are due monthly
through December 2003.

At June 30, 1999, the Company also had a $30.0 million unsecured revolving
credit facility from a commercial lender. Borrowings under this facility's
line of credit totaled $22.6 million at June 30, 1999. The Company has the
capacity as of June 30, 1999 to borrow an additional $7.4 million of
short-term debt, if otherwise available, without violating the terms of the
Senior Notes. 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.

As of June 30, 1999 the Company is in compliance with covenants under both
its Senior Note agreements and its revolving credit facility.

The Company has generally been able to secure financing for its acquisition,
development and construction activities, and management believes such
arrangements will continue to be available on terms satisfactory to the
Company. There can be no assurance, however, that continued financing for
land acquisitions will be available or, if available, will be on terms
satisfactory to the Company.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

Management believes that the Company's core selling and construction
operations are largely unautomated and would continue uninterrupted even in
the event of Year 2000 problems. As for accounting and administration, the
Company has already upgraded its software, which has been tested and found to
be Year 2000 compliant.

The manufacturer of the computer system on which Rottlund central accounting
and management information systems resides has certified that its hardware
and operating system software are Year 2000 compliant. The Company's
applications software has been tested in the course of normal maintenance.
Equipment and software peripheral to Rottlund's central system are being
tested for Year 2000 compliance. Any replacements or upgrades required are
expected to be complete by mid-1999.

The cost and timing of upgrades to hardware and software corrections are not
deemed to be materially different than normally scheduled upgrades.
Expenditures to date and future expenditures are not expected to exceed
$100,000.

Management's contingency plans, which are intended to enable the Company to
continue to operate normally, include performing some procedures manually,
changing suppliers, if necessary, and repairing or obtaining replacement
systems.

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.
