NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS

     Weitzer Homebuilders Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Florida in June 1994, and engages, through its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, in the design, construction and sale of moderately-priced
single-family residences and townhouses in Dade and Broward counties in
Southeast Florida.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim financial information. As such these financial statements
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1996, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 1996 is
audited. The other consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of December 31, 1996, the related consolidated statements of income
of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 1996, and the
consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company for the three months ended
December 31, 1996. Operating results for the three months ended December 31,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the
full fiscal year.


NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES

     The Company's income tax provision (benefit) for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

     The tax effects of the temporary differences comprising the Company's
deferred tax asset are net operating loss carryforwards. As of September 30,
1996, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $1,960,000 which
have been offset by a valuation. These carryforwards will expire through the
year 2011.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the
Company's Form-10K for the year ended September 30, 1996. Management of the
Company believes that quarterly comparisons may not give a true indication of
overall trends and changes in the Company's operations. The Company's sales and
net income are subject to significant variability based on, among other things,
the phase of development of its projects, the cyclical nature of the
homebuilding industry, changes in governmental regulations, changes in
prevailing interest rates, changes in the costs of materials and labor and other
economic factors.

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward looking statements which involve risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive,
governmental, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations,
markets, products, services, and prices and other factors discussed in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Backlog and Available Lots for Sale or Under Option or Contract. The following
table sets forth the Company's backlog, the available lots for sale and the
available lots for construction for the periods presented. The backlog consists
of homes under sales contracts and includes homes under construction, as well as
homes which have been

sold but not started. At December 31,1996 approximately 69% of the homes in
backlog were under construction. The backlog increased 12% from 282 homes at
September 30, 1996 to 316 homes at December 31, 1996. The available lots for
sale refer to the number of lots the Company has acquired which it plans to
construct homes on and excludes homes under sales contracts included in backlog.
The available lots under option or contract refer to the number of lots as to
which the Company has an option or a contract to acquire, but whose acquisition
has not closed. The available lots under option or contract reflect the lots for
projects which are currently being developed or are currently planned for future
development. There can be no assurances that settlements of homes subject to
sales contracts will occur or that all of the available lots for sale will be
built on, or that the available lots under option or contract will be acquired
or built on.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company's revenues from home sales were approximately $12.1 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $7.4
million for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase is attributed
to an overall increase in the volume of home sales during the three months ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. For the three months
ended December 31, 1996, there was a 91.1% increase in the number of homes
delivered (to 107 from 56) compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995.
For the three months ended December 31, 1996 the average selling price of the
homes delivered decreased 14.7% (to $113,287 from $132,840) compared to the
three months ended December 31, 1995, which decrease is attributable to the
change in the Company's overall product mix. The higher volume of home sales for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 reflected the fact that the Company was
in the early development stage of certain projects such as Weitzer at Harmony
Lakes, The Hammocks at Riverglen, and Serena Lakes Patio Homes and Serena Lakes
Townhomes during the three months ended December 31, 1995 and, accordingly,
there were fewer recorded closings.


                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     The Company's costs of homes sold were approximately $10.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $6.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase is attributed
primarily to an increase in the volume of homes sold. Cost of homes sold as a
percentage of homes sales remained constant at 87.6% for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were approximately
$1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
approximately $959,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. SG&A
expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 12.8% during the three
months ended December 31, 1995 to 8.8% for the three months ended December 31,
1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in home sales for
the period.

     Net income was approximately $407,000 during the three months ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to a net loss of approximately $51,000 during the
three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase is attributed to the increase
in home sales.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     General. On December 31, 1996 the Company had borrowings from banks and
third parties aggregating approximately $27.7 million. The Company believes that
it will be able to fund its ongoing operations in the short term from cash on
hand, cash flow from operations and construction financing.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had an aggregate of $9.2 million of
available credit under two lines of credit with Barnett Bank of South Florida,
N.A., which the Company may use to finance the construction and development of
homes at both the Weitzer at Serena Lakes Patio Homes project and Serena Lakes
Townhomes project.

     Cash Flows. During the three month ended December 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $412,000 of net cash provided by operating activities, primarily
as a result of the net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996.
During that period, the Company had net cash used in financing activities of
approximately $440,000, arising principally from the payment of certain 5%
convertible debentures.
