REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Trustees of
Dominion Homes, Inc. Retirement Plan and Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Dominion Homes, Inc. Retirement Plan and Trust as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and changes in net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes, reportable transactions, and non-exempt transactions
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

DOMINION HOMES, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

     Dominion Homes, Inc. (the Employer) established Dominion Homes, Inc.
     Retirement Plan and Trust (formerly Borror Corporation Retirement Plan and
     Trust) (the Plan) effective July 1, 1985. The Plan is a defined
     contribution plan intended to comply with Sections 401(a) and (k) of the
     Internal Revenue Code.

     Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan upon the latest of: a)
     the attainment of age 21; b) the completion of six months of service; and
     c) classification as a regular full-time employee, exclusive of employees
     for whom retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith collective
     bargaining.

     Participants may invest in ten investment fund options. These options
     include the Dominion Homes Stock Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Growth Fund,
     the Income Fund, the Fidelity Growth Fund, the Huntington Monitor Money
     Market Fund, the Huntington Monitor Treasury Market Fund, the Managers
     Special Equity Fund, the Vanguard Index 500 Fund and the T. Rowe Price
     International Stock Fund. The Balanced Fund, Growth Fund and Income Fund
     are Huntington Asset Allocation Funds with investments in equity and fixed
     income investments.

     A participant in the Plan may enter into a salary reduction agreement with
     the Employer, authorizing the Employer to withhold a percentage of such
     participant's compensation and to contribute such amount to the Plan on
     their behalf. If a participant has not authorized the Employer to withhold
     at the maximum rate and desires to increase the total amount withheld for a
     plan year, such participant may authorize the Employer to withhold a
     supplemental amount up to 100% of their compensation for one or more pay
     periods. In no event may the sum of the amounts withheld under the Salary
     Reduction Agreement plus the supplemental withholding in any calendar year
     exceed $9,500. In accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
     Code, all amounts withheld from a participant's compensation in accordance
     with this section and contributed to their Salary Reduction Account are not
     to be included in the gross income of the participant for federal income
     tax purposes and are deemed, for tax purposes, to be an employee
     contribution to the Plan.

     The Employer is required to make matching contributions to the Plan from
     its current or accumulated profits, if any, equal to 25% of the salary
     reduction contributions made by participants who are employed on the last
     day of the plan year provided, however, that such matching contributions
     shall not exceed 1.5% of such participant's compensation for the plan year,
     subject to the limitations as published from time to time by the Internal
     Revenue Service. In no event may the sum of the amounts credited to a
     participant's Salary Reduction Account, Retirement Account and Matching
     Contribution Account in any plan year exceed the lesser of 25% of the
     participant's compensation for the plan year or $30,000.





                                                                             9

DOMINION HOMES, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


  1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONT.):

       The Employer is required to make annual retirement contributions to the
       Plan from its current or accumulated profits, if any, equal to 2% of the
       compensation paid to participants. Eligible participants for this purpose
       include those making contributions to the Plan during the period,
       employed on the last day of the plan year and have at least 1,000 hours
       of service during a calendar year. The Employer may make additional
       discretionary annual retirement contributions to the Plan from its
       current or accumulated profits, if any. The Employer's retirement
       contributions to the Plan for each plan year are allocated among those
       participants employed by the Employer as of the last day of such plan
       year in the ratio that the compensation of each such participant during
       the plan year bears to the total compensation received by all such
       participants during the plan year. Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan
       provides for matching and profit sharing allocations without regard to
       employment on the last day of the plan year or the completion of 1,000
       hours of service during the plan year.

       Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
       contribution, the Employer's matching and retirement contributions, and
       the participant's share of Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation
       of administrative expenses. The allocation of contributions to one or
       more of the investment funds is designated by each participant.

       A participant's interest in their Salary Reduction Account, Rollover
       Account, Retirement Account and Matching Contribution Account shall be
       fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

       Benefits under the Plan are generally payable upon the earliest
       occurrence of a participant's death, disability or retirement at or after
       attainment of normal retirement age. On termination of service due to
       death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive
       either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested
       interest in their account, or in equal monthly, quarterly, semiannual or
       annual installments over a period not to exceed ten years. For
       termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive
       the value of the vested interest in their account as a lump-sum
       distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant's Salary
       Reduction Account may also be distributed in the event of certain
       financial hardships or the attainment of age 55.

       The Employer reserves the right at any time to amend or terminate this
       Plan or to suspend contributions thereto, provided that no such
       amendment, termination or suspension shall have the effect of giving the
       Employer any right or interest, or of revoking or diminishing the rights
       and interests of any participant in the funds then held by the Trustee.




                                                                            10

    2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in
       the preparation of the financial statements. The policies conform to
       generally accepted accounting principles.

       A. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION: The Plan's investments
          are stated at fair value that is measured from quoted market prices as
          of the last business day of the plan year.

          Security transactions are reflected on a trade-date basis, which is
          not materially different from a settlement-date basis. Dividends are
          recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual
          basis.

          In the statements of changes in net assets available for plan
          benefits, the Plan presents the net appreciation (depreciation) in the
          fair value of its investments, which consists of the net realized
          gains or losses and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
          those investments.

       B. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Administrative expenses are paid by the
          trustee from the net assets of the Plan. Approximately $45,000 and
          $47,000 in administrative expenses were incurred for the years ended
          December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

       C. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the Plan's financial statements
          in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
          the plan administrator to make significant estimates and assumptions
          that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits
          at the date of the financial statements and the changes in the net
          assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, when
          applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
          those estimates.

       D. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES: The Plan provides for various investment
          options in any combination of stocks, mutual funds, and other
          investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
          risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the
          level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at
          least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
          securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could
          materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
          reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits.



                                                                            11

DOMINION HOMES, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

5.     TAX STATUS:

       The Plan meets the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of
       the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the Employee Retirement Income
       Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan qualifies as and has been granted
       favorable determination of tax-exempt status under Section 501(a).

       The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on May 6, 1996, in
       which the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated that the Plan, as then
       designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
       Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the
       determination letter. However, the plan administrator and the Plan's tax
       counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
       compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
       Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
       financial statements.


  6.   TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST:

       The Plan held, at fair value, $2,040,564 and $681,752 of Dominion Homes,
       Inc. common shares (Employer securities) at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
       respectively. The Plan purchased 24,719 and 115,572 shares of Dominion
       Homes, Inc. common shares at a cost of $142,897 and $514,728 in 1997 and
       1996, respectively. The Plan sold 11,367 and 12,276 Dominion Homes, Inc.
       common shares for $66,725 and $51,575 with realized losses of $8,618 and
       $25,150 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

       Certain Plan investments are units of common/collective trusts and money
       market funds managed by The Huntington National Bank, an affiliate of The
       Huntington Trust Company. The Huntington Trust Company is the trustee as
       defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
       party-in-interest. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management
       services amounted to $40,091 and $42,051 for the plan years ended
       December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.






                                                                            16
