                    RESIDENTIAL HOMEBUILDING OPERATIONS

                    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED
                    AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997
                    TOGETHER WITH AUDITORS' REPORT






<PAGE>


                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
Trafalgar House Property, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets to be acquired of the
residential homebuilding operations of Trafalgar House Property, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of December 31, 1997, and the related statement
of revenues and direct expenses for the year then ended. These statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, certain assets of the residential homebuilding
operations of the Company were acquired and certain related liabilities were
assumed by Beazer Homes Corp., in December 1998 pursuant to the Sale and
Purchase Agreement dated October 26, 1998. Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements were prepared to present the net assets to be acquired and
the related revenues and direct expenses for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
the Form 8-K of Beazer Homes USA, Inc., and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Company's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets to be acquired of the residential
homebuilding operations of Trafalgar House Property, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1997, and the related revenues and direct expenses for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

                                 (000's omitted)




1.       ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Trafalgar House Property, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Kvaerner ASA ("Kvaerner"). The Company's residential
homebuilding operations principally engage in the development and sale of
residential real estate in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia.

In October 1998, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, 
dated October 26, 1998 (the "Sale Agreement") with Beazer Homes Corp. 
("Beazer") for Beazer to acquire certain assets and assume certain 
liabilities of the residential homebuilding operations of the Company. This 
transaction closed on December 4, 1998 for a sales price of approximately 
$99,300. Beazer assigned its rights and obligations to acquire certain of the 
assets included in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets to be Acquired to 
an unaffiliated third party.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
financial statements were prepared to present the net assets to be acquired by
Beazer of the Company's residential homebuilding operations and the related
revenues and direct expenses for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K of Beazer Homes USA, Inc.

The abbreviated financial statements of the Company's residential homebuilding
operations to be acquired are presented in lieu of full financial statements of
the Company's entire residential homebuilding business as the Company does not
maintain a stand-alone capital structure for such business and due to the lack
of appropriate and reasonable intercompany management and interest charges. The
Statement of Net Assets to be Acquired excludes any amounts related to the
capitalization of the Company as well as any cash accounts. The Statement of
Revenues and Direct Expenses excludes only those costs not directly involved in
the revenue-producing activities of the residential homebuilding operations,
such as corporate overhead charges, interest and income taxes. Accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation
of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company or of the
Company's residential homebuilding business. Further, the accompanying financial
statements are not indicative of the Company's financial condition or results of
operations on a stand-alone basis and are not indicative of the Company's
financial condition or results of operations under ownership of an entity other
than Kvaerner.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

Residential real estate held for development and sale is carried at historical
cost and reviewed periodically for impairment. All direct costs and allocated
indirect costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized.
Development costs are relieved through cost of sales on a specific
identification basis and a per unit allocation basis, as applicable.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from residential home sales are accounted for on the full accrual
method. Under the full accrual method of accounting, revenues are recognized
when a sale is consummated, title is transferred to the buyer and adequate
consideration has been received. Option revenues and lot premiums are recognized
on a lot-specific basis.

OTHER LIABILITIES

Other liabilities represent liabilities for the cost to complete projects where
the last home has been settled. Cost to complete includes site work required to
enable the release of performance bonds and letters of credit related to
development activities and ongoing customer service obligations which arise
during the warranty period.

All homes sold by the Company are enrolled in a homeowner's warranty program
with Residential Warranty Corporation. The Company is responsible for defects
for one full year on the entire house with an additional one-year on mechanical,
heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems. Residential Warranty
Corporation warrants any structural defects for years three through ten.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

The Company is a 50% partner in the Trafalgar-Astrab Associates joint venture,
which is developing residential real estate for sale. The investment in joint
venture is accounted for under the equity method, after considering priority
distributions to the joint venture partners.

FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

               Furniture and fixtures                5 years
               Equipment and vehicles                4 years
               Computer equipment                    3 years

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates and assumptions for the Company relate to the
recoverable value of the real estate development assets and the liabilities
associated with certain commitments and contingencies.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company owns land parcels for future
development and has made deposits related to option agreements to acquire land
parcels. Land parcels vary in terms of the extent of entitlements obtained that
are necessary to commence development, which will impact the timing and ability
to develop such parcels, and ultimately the Company's ability to recover its
investments. The realization of assets related to nonrefundable deposits,
acquisition costs and capitalized development costs is dependent on the Company
successfully obtaining various government approvals related to entitlements,
sewer access and environmental remediation.

The Company was contingently liable in the amount of $43,100 as of December 31,
1997 in connection with letters of credit and surety bonds created to satisfy
performance bond requirements of certain townships and counties in which the
Company is developing properties and other obligations.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had costs to complete of approximately
$1,300 and customer service provisions of approximately $500 related to ongoing
projects, which have been recorded as a reduction of residential housing under
construction and other development costs. In addition, as of December 31, 1997,
the Company had project completion liabilities of approximately $1,900 and
customer service liabilities of approximately $500, which primarily represent
the costs to complete projects where the last home has been settled.

                       RESIDENTIAL HOMEBUILDING OPERATIONS


           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

                                 (000's omitted)

                                   (Unaudited)



1.       ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Trafalgar House Property, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Kvaerner ASA ("Kvaerner"). The Company's residential
homebuilding operations principally engage in the development and sale of
residential real estate in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia.

In October 1998, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement 
dated October 26, 1998 (the "Sale Agreement") with Beazer Homes Corp. 
("Beazer") for Beazer to acquire certain assets and assume certain 
liabilities of the residential homebuilding operations of the Company. This 
transaction closed on December 4, 1998 for a sales price of approximately 
$99,300. Beazer assigned its rights and obligations to acquire certain of the 
assets included in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets to be Acquired to 
an unaffiliated third party.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
financial statements were prepared to present the net assets to be acquired by
Beazer of the Company's residential homebuilding operations and the related
revenues and direct expenses for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K of Beazer Homes USA, Inc.

The abbreviated financial statements of the Company's residential homebuilding
operations to be acquired are presented in lieu of full financial statements of
the Company's entire residential homebuilding business as the Company does not
maintain a stand-alone capital structure for such business and due to the lack
of appropriate and reasonable intercompany management and interest charges. The
Statement of Net Assets to be Acquired excludes any amounts related to the
capitalization of the Company as well as any cash accounts. The Statements of
Revenues and Direct Expenses exclude only those costs not directly involved in
the revenue-producing activities 

<PAGE>

of the residential homebuilding operations, such as corporate overhead 
charges, interest and income taxes. Accordingly, the accompanying financial 
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the assets, 
liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company or of the Company's 
residential homebuilding business. Further, the accompanying financial 
statements are not indicative of the Company's financial condition or results 
of operations on a stand-alone basis and are not indicative of the Company's 
financial condition or results of operations under ownership of an entity 
other than Kvaerner.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

Residential real estate held for development and sale is carried at historical
cost and reviewed periodically for impairment. All direct costs and allocated
indirect costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized.
Development costs are relieved through cost of sales on a specific
identification basis or a per unit allocation basis, as applicable.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from residential home sales are accounted for on the full accrual
method. Under the full accrual method of accounting, revenues are recognized
when a sale is consummated, title is transferred to the buyer and adequate
consideration has been received. Option revenues and lot premiums are recognized
on a lot-specific basis.

OTHER LIABILITIES

Other liabilities represent liabilities for the cost to complete projects where
the last home has been settled. Cost to complete includes site work required to
enable the release of performance bonds and letters of credit related to
development activities and ongoing customer service obligations which arise
during the warranty period.

All homes sold by the Company are enrolled in a homeowner's warranty program
with Residential Warranty Corporation. The Company is responsible for defects
for one full year on the entire house with an additional one year on mechanical,
heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems. Residential Warranty
Corporation warrants any structural defects for years three through ten.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

The Company is a 50% partner in the Trafalgar-Astrab Associates joint venture,
which is developing residential real estate for sale. The investment in joint
venture is accounted for under the equity method, after considering priority
distributions to the joint venture partners.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates and assumptions for the Company relate to the
recoverable value of the real estate development assets and the liabilities
associated with certain commitments and contingencies.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company owns land parcels for future
development and has made deposits related to option agreements to acquire land
parcels. Land parcels vary in terms of the extent of entitlements obtained that
are necessary to commence development, which will impact the timing and ability
to develop such parcels, and ultimately the Company's ability to recover its
investments. The realization of assets related to nonrefundable deposits,
acquisition costs and capitalized development costs is dependent on the Company
successfully obtaining various government approvals related to entitlements,
sewer access and environmental remediation.

The Company was contingently liable in the amount of $39,000 as of September 30,
1998 in connection with letters of credit and surety bonds created to satisfy
performance bond requirements of certain townships and counties in which the
Company is developing properties and other obligations.

As of September 30, 1998, the Company had costs to complete of approximately
$1,100 and customer service provisions of approximately $600 related to ongoing
projects, which have been recorded as a reduction of residential housing under
construction and other development costs. In addition, as of September 30, 1998,
the Company had project completion liabilities of approximately $1,200 and
customer service liabilities of approximately $600, which primarily represent
the costs to complete projects where the last home has been settled.

EXHIBIT 99.3

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information as 
of and for the year ended September 30, 1998 has been prepared to reflect 
Beazer's purchase of certain net assets of the residential homebuilding 
operations of Trafalgar House Property, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("THPI") on 
December 4, 1998 for approximately $90 million in cash (not including $1.8 
million of direct acquisition costs), as if this acquisition had occurred at 
September 30, 1998 for purposes of the pro forma balance sheet and on October 
1, 1997 for purposes of the pro forma statement of operations. The 
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly the 
purchase price has been tentatively allocated to reflect the fair value of 
assets and liabilities acquired. Such allocation resulted principally in a 
reduction in inventory from THPI's historical carrying value and no residual 
goodwill. Pro forma adjustments have been made in the accompanying statements 
to reflect the impact of purchase accounting and other items that Company 
management believes reasonable under the circumstances.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is provided 
for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the 
results that would actually have been obtained had the acquisition been 
effected on October 1, 1997, or of the results which may be obtained in the 
future. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information should be 
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes 
thereto of Beazer, which are incorporated by reference in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998, and the 
historical financial statements of THPI included herein.

(2)  To reclassify THPI joint venture income to other income to conform to
     Beazer's presentation.

(3)  To adjust cost of home construction and land sales for a) purchase price 
     adjustments resulting from the acquisition of THPI's net assets at a 
     price of $29 million below the historical book value of the net assets 
     acquired (This pro forma adjustment has been computed to adjust THPI's 
     gross profit margin before interest to Beazer's expected profit margin 
     of 17.3%) and b) to reclassify $8.9 million from cost of home 
     construction and land sales to SG&A to conform to Beazer's 
     classification.

(4)  To impute interest expense on the cash purchase price based upon the
     Company's effective borrowing rate for the year (7.7 %)

(5)  To adjust selling, general and administrative expense to reflect the
     reduction in depreciation expense of the combined entity as a result of
     certain assets disposed of as a part of the acquisition and to reclassify
     certain costs from home construction and land sales into SG&A--see 
     note 3.
