TECHNICAL OLYMPIC USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
1. Business and Organization
Business
      Technical Olympic USA, Inc. is a homebuilder with a geographically diversified national presence. We operate in 16 metropolitan markets located in four major geographic regions: Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, Texas, and the West. We design, build, and market detached single-family residences, townhomes and condominiums. We also provide title and mortgage brokerage services to our homebuyers and others. Generally, we do not retain or service the mortgages that we originate but, rather, sell the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors.
Organization
      Technical Olympic S.A. owns approximately 73% of our outstanding common stock. Technical Olympic S.A. is a publicly-traded Greek company whose shares are traded on the Athens Stock Exchange.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
      The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and general practices within the homebuilding industry. These accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
      Due to our normal operating cycle being in excess of one year, we present unclassified consolidated statements of financial condition.
      We have two operating segments which are segregated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under “Homebuilding” and “Financial Services.”
      Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Interim Presentation
      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results from operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations achieved through June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of those that may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 2005. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted from the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements included as part of this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
      For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we have eliminated inter-segment Financial Services revenues of $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we have eliminated inter-segment Financial Services revenues of $3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Earnings Per Share
      Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options or other common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market exercise prices. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share.
      The following table represents a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding:
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
         
    2005   2004   2005   2004
                 
Basic weighted average shares outstanding
    56,083,450       56,060,228       56,078,578       56,053,078  
Net effect of stock options assumed to be exercised
    2,106,098       1,134,996       2,078,474       1,000,865  
                         
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding
    58,189,548       57,195,224       58,157,052       57,053,943  
                         
      The shares issued and outstanding and the earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect a five-for-four stock split effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend paid on March 31, 2005.
Stock-Based Compensation
      We account for our stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized as all stock options granted under our stock option plan have exercise prices at or greater than the market value of our stock on the grant date. If the methodologies of SFAS No. 123 were applied to determine compensation expense for our stock options based on the fair value of our common stock at the grant dates for awards under our option plan, our net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and

Our liability for nonperformance under such contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits.

TECHNICAL OLYMPIC USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (Interpretation No. 46). Interpretation No. 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIEs) in which an entity absorbs a majority of the expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity.
      Generally, homebuilders will enter into option contracts for the purchase of land or homesites with land sellers and third-party financial entities, some of which may qualify as VIEs. In applying Interpretation No. 46 to our homesite option contracts and other transactions with VIEs, we make estimates regarding cash flows and other assumptions. We believe that our critical assumptions underlying these estimates are reasonable based on historical evidence and industry practice. Based on our analysis of transactions entered into with VIEs, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these homesite option contracts. Consequently, Interpretation No. 46 requires us to consolidate the assets (homesites) at their fair value, although (1) we have no legal title to the assets, (2) our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the deposits or letters of credits placed with these entities, and (3) creditors, if any, of these entities have no recourse against us. The effect of Interpretation No. 46 at June 30, 2005 was to increase inventory by $73.6 million, excluding deposits of $9.9 million, which had been previously recorded, with a corresponding increase to “obligations for inventory not owned” in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition. We have also entered into arrangements with VIEs to acquire homesites in which our variable interest is insignificant and, therefore, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and are not required to consolidate the assets of such VIEs.
      From time to time we transfer title to certain parcels of land to unrelated third parties and enter into options with the purchasers to acquire fully developed homesites. In accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for the Sales of Real Estate,” we have accounted for these transactions as financing arrangements because we have retained a continuing involvement in these properties. As of June 30, 2005, $30.0 million of inventory not owned and obligations for inventory not owned relates to sales with continuing involvement.

      We enter into strategic joint ventures to acquire, to develop and to sell land and/or homesites, as well as to construct and sell homes, in which we have a voting ownership interest of 50% or less and do not have a controlling interest. Our partners generally are unrelated homebuilders, land sellers, financial partners or other real estate entities. At June 30, 2005, we had made short term advances of $15.4 million to these joint ventures. As indicated above, we have segregated joint venture activity between joint ventures involved only in land development and those involved in both home construction and land development.
      In many instances, we are appointed as the day-to-day manager of the unconsolidated entities and receive management fees for performing this function. We received management fees from the unconsolidated entities approximating $5.6 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These fees are included in income from joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. No such fees were received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as our unconsolidated joint venture operations during these periods were insignificant. In the aggregate, these ventures delivered 203 and 344 homes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

5. Goodwill
      The change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (dollars in millions):
                 
    Six Months
    Ended
    June 30,
     
    2005   2004
         
Balance at January 1
  $ 110.7     $ 100.1  
Earn out consideration paid or accrued on acquisitions
          6.6  
             
Balance at June 30
  $ 110.7     $ 106.7  
             
6. Borrowings
      Our revolving credit facility permits us to borrow to the lesser of (i) $600.0 million or (ii) our borrowing base (calculated in accordance with the revolving credit facility agreement) minus our outstanding senior debt. The facility has a letter of credit subfacility of $300.0 million. In addition, we have the right to increase the size of the facility to provide up to an additional $150.0 million of revolving loans, provided we satisfy certain conditions. Loans outstanding under the facility may be base rate loans or Eurodollar loans, at our election. Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by our material direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and title subsidiaries (unrestricted subsidiaries). The revolving credit facility expires on October 26, 2008. As of June 30, 2005, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had issued letters of credit totaling $140.0 million. We had $460.0 million remaining in availability, all of which we could have borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.
      Our mortgage subsidiary has the ability to borrow up to $120.0 million under two revolving warehouse lines of credit to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans. One of these warehouse lines can be increased to provide up to an additional $50.0 million of availability, subject to meeting certain requirements. One of the lines of credit bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.0%, determined based upon the type of mortgage loans being financed, and the other bears interest at the 30 day Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.125%. Both warehouse lines of credit are secured by funded mortgages, which are pledged as collateral, and require our mortgage subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios and minimums. As of June 30, 2005, we had $49.4 million in borrowings under our warehouse lines of credit.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
      We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a member of our management group has asserted certain claims against us. A lawsuit has not been filed. This matter is subject to further discovery and uncertainties. We do not anticipate that the resolution of this matter will be material to our consolidated financial condition or our results of operations.
      We provide homebuyers with a one-year or two-year limited warranty of workmanship and materials, and an eight-year or ten-year limited warranty covering major structural defects. We generally have recourse against our subcontractors for claims relating to workmanship and materials. We also have a homebuilder protective policy which covers warranty claims for structure and design defects related to homes sold by us during the policy period, subject to a significant self-insured retention per occurrence. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience and current factors.

8. Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
      During 2001, we adopted the Technical Olympic USA, Inc. Annual and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which our employees, consultants and directors, and those of our subsidiaries and affiliated entities, are eligible to receive shares of restricted common stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock. Under the Plan, subject to adjustment as defined, the maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted is 7,500,000. At June 30, 2005, 6,749,360 options and 43,703 shares of restricted stock had been granted. Of the stock options granted, 1,567,072 contain accelerated vesting criteria or other features that are being accounted for under the variable accounting method as provided by APB Opinion No. 25. Additionally, certain stock purchase rights have been granted to our chief executive officer that are subject to the variable accounting method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized income of $0.5 million and expense of $4.5 million, respectively, related to these accelerated vesting options and stock purchase rights, as compared to expense of $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.
9. Subsequent Event
      On August 1, 2005, through a joint venture, we completed the acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Transeastern Properties, Inc. (“Transeastern”) headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida. Our joint venture partner is an entity controlled by the former majority owners of Transeastern. The joint venture acquired Transeastern’s homebuilding assets, including work in process, finished lots and certain land option rights, for approximately $826.2 million (which includes the assumption of $112.0 million of liabilities). An earnout of up to an additional $75.0 million will be paid, to the sellers, if certain conditions are met. In addition to the net assets acquired in the transaction, the joint venture will have a right of first offer on land developed by a related entity of our joint venture partner for a period of five years. We are the managing member of the joint venture and hold a 50% voting interest. The joint venture is funded with $675.0 million of third party debt capacity (of which $560.0 million was drawn), a $20.0 million subordinated bridge loan from us and $165.0 million of equity, of which $90.0 million was contributed by us. The third party debt is secured by the joint venture’s assets and ownership interests and is non-recourse to us. We will account for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
10. Summarized Financial Information
      Our outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are all of our material direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and title operations subsidiaries (the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is directly or indirectly 100% owned by us. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, consolidated condensed financial statements are presented below. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
      We generate revenues from our homebuilding operations (“Homebuilding”) and financial services operations (“Financial Services”), which comprise our operating segments. Through our Homebuilding operations we design, build and market high-quality detached single-family residences, town homes and condominiums in 16 metropolitan markets located in four major geographic regions: Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, Texas and the West.
             
Florida   Mid-Atlantic   Texas   West
             
Jacksonville
  Baltimore /Southern Pennsylvania   Austin   Central Colorado
Orlando
  Delaware   Dallas/Ft. Worth   Las Vegas
Southeast Florida
  Nashville   Houston   Phoenix
Southwest Florida
  Northern Virginia   San Antonio    
Tampa/ St. Petersburg
           
      We build homes for inventory and on a pre-sold basis. At June 30, 2005, we had 5,138 homes completed or under construction (including unconsolidated joint ventures), of which approximately 15% were unsold. At June 30, 2005, we had 128 completed unsold homes in our inventory (including unconsolidated joint ventures), of which approximately 19% had been completed for more than 90 days. Our completed unsold homes have decreased by 37% from 203 at December 31, 2004; however, they are up slightly from 106 at March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2005, our completed unsold homes in inventory represent under 3% of the total homes completed or under construction (and average less than one per active community) as compared to 5% at December 31, 2004. We are actively working to reduce our finished speculative home inventory to reduce carrying costs and to increase our available capital.
      Once a sales contract with a buyer has been approved, we classify the transaction as a “new sales order” and include the home in “backlog.” Such sales orders are usually subject to certain contingencies such as the buyer’s ability to qualify for financing. At closing, title passes to the buyer and a home is considered to be “delivered” and is removed from backlog. Revenue and cost of sales are recognized upon the delivery of the home, land or homesite when title is transferred to the buyer. We estimate that the average period between the execution of a sales contract for a home and closing is approximately six to twelve months for presold homes; however, this varies by market. The principal expenses of our Homebuilding operations are (i) cost of sales and (ii) selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Costs of home sales include land and land development costs, home construction costs, previously capitalized indirect costs, capitalized interest and estimated warranty costs. SG&A expenses for our Homebuilding operations include administrative costs, advertising expenses, on-site marketing expenses, sales commission costs, and closing costs. Sales commissions are included in selling, general and administrative costs when the related revenue is recognized. As used herein, “Homebuilding” includes results of home and land sales. “Home sales” includes results related only to the sale of homes.
      We were actively selling homes in 228 communities (including 20 through our unconsolidated joint ventures) and 253 communities at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decline in active communities is due to delays associated with bringing new communities on line and the completion of sales activities in other communities. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, total revenues increased 24%, net income increased 90%, net sales orders (including unconsolidated joint ventures) increased 14% and home deliveries (including unconsolidated joint ventures) increased 32% as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total revenues increased 24%, net income increased 71%, net sales orders (including unconsolidated joint ventures) increased 6% and home deliveries (including unconsolidated joint ventures) increased 32% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales value in backlog at June 30, 2005 as compared to June 30, 2004 increased by 37% to $2.1 billion. Our joint ventures had an additional $0.4 billion in sales backlog at June 30, 2005. Our home cancellation rate was approximately 14% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Our

percentage of converting backlog units at the beginning of the quarter to deliveries during the quarter was 34%, which is consistent with the first quarter of 2005. We anticipate that this conversion rate will begin to improve in the last half of the year as a result of our efforts to reduce our sales to delivery timeline. We continue to be impacted by labor and supply shortages and increases in the cost of materials caused by the Florida hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 and expect them to continue for some time.
      We have entered into, and expect to expand our use of, joint ventures that acquire and develop land for our Homebuilding operations and/or joint ventures that additionally build and market homes. The majority of these joint ventures are not consolidated. At June 30, 2005, our investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures was $82.4 million, and we had made short term advances of $15.4 million to these joint ventures. In addition, we seek to use option contracts to acquire land whenever feasible. Option contracts allow us to control significant homesite positions with minimal capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. At June 30, 2005, we controlled approximately 74,000 homesites (including unconsolidated joint ventures) of which 81% were controlled through various option arrangements.
      To provide homebuyers with a seamless home purchasing experience, we have a complementary financial services business where we provide mortgage financing and closing services and offer title, homeowners’ and other insurance products to our homebuyers and others. Our mortgage financing operation derives most of its revenues from buyers of our homes, although it also offers its services to existing homeowners refinancing their mortgages. Our closing services and our insurance agency operations are used by our homebuyers and a broad range of other clients purchasing or refinancing residential or commercial real estate. Our mortgage financing operations’ revenues consist primarily of origination and premium fee income, interest income, and the gain on the sale of the mortgages. Our title operations’ revenues consist primarily of title insurance and closing services. The principal expenses of our Financial Services operations are SG&A expenses, which consist primarily of compensation and interest expense on our warehouse lines of credit.
Critical Accounting Policies
      There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Recent Developments
      On August 1, 2005, through a joint venture, we completed the acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Transeastern Properties, Inc. (“Transeastern”) headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida. Our joint venture partner is an entity controlled by the former majority owners of Transeastern. The joint venture acquired Transeastern’s homebuilding assets, including work in process, finished lots and certain land option rights, for approximately $826.2 million (which includes the assumption of $112.0 million of liabilities). An earnout of up to an additional $75.0 million will be paid, to the sellers, if certain conditions are met. In addition to the net assets acquired in the transaction, the joint venture will have a right of first offer on land developed by a related entity of our joint venture partner for a period of five years. We are the managing member of the joint venture and hold a 50% voting interest. The joint venture is funded with $675.0 million of third party debt capacity (of which $560.0 million was drawn), a $20.0 million subordinated bridge loan from us and $165.0 million of equity, of which $90.0 million was contributed by us. The third party debt is secured by the joint venture’s assets and ownership interests and is non-recourse to us. We will account for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

Results of Operations — Consolidated
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
      Total revenues increased 24% to $627.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $507.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in Homebuilding revenues of 24%, and an increase in Financial Services revenues of 21%.
      Income before provision for income taxes increased by 92% to $73.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $38.2 million for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in Homebuilding pretax income to $71.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
      Our effective tax rate was 37.8% and 37.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This increase was due to increases in income in states with higher tax rates.
      As a result of the above, net income increased to $45.7 million (or $0.79 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $24.1 million (or $0.42 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
      Total revenues increased 24% to $1,170.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $941.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in Homebuilding revenues of 25%, and an increase in Financial Services revenues of 18%.
      Income before provision for income taxes increased by 73% to $115.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $66.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in Homebuilding pretax income to $111.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was partially offset by a decline in Financial Services pretax income to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
      Our effective tax rate was 37.7% and 37.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This increase was due to increases in income in states with higher tax rates.
      As a result of the above, net income increased to $72.1 million (or $1.24 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $42.2 million (or $0.74 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
      Homebuilding revenues increased 24% to $615.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $498.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is due primarily to an increase in revenues from home sales to $582.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $462.5 million for the comparable period in 2004. The 26% increase in revenue from home sales was due to (1) a 20% increase in home deliveries to 2,012 from 1,682 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and (2) a 5% increase in the average selling price on homes delivered to $289,000 from $275,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. A significant component of this increase was the 52% increase in revenues from home sales in our Florida region for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was due to a 37% increase in home deliveries and an 11% increase in the average selling price of such homes. In addition to revenue from home sales, we generated $33.7 million in revenue from land sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $35.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. As part of our land inventory management strategy, we regularly review our land portfolio. As a result of these reviews, we will seek to sell land when we have changed our strategy for a certain property and/or we have determined that the potential profit realizable from a sale of a property outweighs the economics of developing a community. Land sales are incidental to our residential homebuilding operations and are expected to continue in the future, but may fluctuate significantly from period to period.
      Our Homebuilding gross profit increased 44% to $137.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $95.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue from home sales and an improved gross margin on home sales. Our gross margin on home sales increased to 23.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from 19.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase from period to period is primarily due to the phasing of sales to maximize revenues and improve margins and improved control over costs, such as the re-engineering of existing products to reduce costs of construction, and the reduction of carrying costs on inventory through improved control over the number of unsold homes completed or under construction, particularly in our Texas and West regions. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we generated gross profit on land sales of $3.8 million, as compared to $7.3 million for the comparable period in 2004.
      SG&A expenses increased to $77.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $59.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased to 13.2%, as compared to 12.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
      The 40 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is partially due to an increase in compensation expense resulting from increased head count to support our joint venture activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the income associated with these activities is $8.1 million, including management fees of $5.6 million, which is shown separately as income from joint

ventures in our consolidated statement of income. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in stock based compensation expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recognized income of $0.5 million and expense of $0.7 million, respectively, due to the variable accounting treatment of certain stock-based awards which include performance-based accelerated vesting criteria and certain other common stock purchase rights.
      Our net profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by home sales revenues. Our net profit margin increased to 7.9% from 5.2% due to improved gross margins and joint venture revenues.
Net Sales Orders and Backlog Units (including joint ventures)
      For the three months ended June 30, 2005, net sales orders increased by 14% as compared to the same period in 2004, due to an increase in sales in our Texas and West Regions, which were partially offset by decreases in our Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions from the deliberate phasing of sales to improve gross margins. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the sales value of these new orders increased by 25% over the three months ended June 30, 2004, due to an increase in the average net sales price to $324,000 from $297,000 over these same periods.
      We had 7,460 homes in backlog, as of June 30, 2005, as compared to 5,531 homes in backlog as of June 30, 2004.
Backlog Sales Value (excluding joint ventures)
      The sales value of backlog increased 37% to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2005, from $1.5 billion at June 30, 2004, while the average selling price of homes in backlog increased to $332,000 from $290,000 from period to period. The increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog was primarily due to our ability to increase prices in markets with strong housing demand as well as our continued efforts to phase sales, especially in our Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions, to maximize gross margins.
Financial Services
      Financial Services revenues increased to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This 21% increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of closings at our title and mortgage operations offset by reduced gains in selling mortgages in the secondary market caused by a shift toward more adjustable rate mortgage loans and market reductions in the interest rate margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, our mix of mortgage originations was 41% adjustable rate mortgages (of which approximately 77% were interest only) and 59% fixed rate mortgages, which is a shift from the comparable period in the prior year of 35% adjustable rate mortgages and 65% fixed rate mortgages. The average FICO score of our homebuyers during the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 729, and the average loan to value ratio on first mortgages was 77%. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, approximately 11% of our homebuyers paid in cash as compared to 12% during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Our mortgage operations capture ratio for non-cash homebuyers increased to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The number of closings at our mortgage operations increased to 1,204 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from 1,141 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Our title operations capture ratio decreased to 87% of our homebuyers for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from 98% for the comparable period in 2004 due to an organizational change in our Phoenix operations causing a loss of closings for the period. However, the number of closings at our title operations increased to 5,938 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from 5,339 for the same period in 2004. Non-affiliated customers accounted for approximately 75% of our title company revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
      Financial Services expenses increased to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This 30% increase is a result of higher staff levels to support anticipated increased loan activity.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
      Homebuilding revenues increased 25% to $1,149.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $923.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is due primarily to an increase in revenues from home sales to $1,094.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $869.3 million for the comparable period in 2004. The 26% increase in revenue from home sales was due to (1) a 21% increase in home deliveries to 3,879 from 3,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and (2) a 4% increase in the average selling price on homes delivered to $282,000 from $272,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. A significant component of this increase was the 51% increase in revenues from home sales in our Florida region for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was due to a 38% increase in home deliveries and a 10% increase in the average selling price of such homes. In addition to revenue from home sales, we generated revenue from land sales of $54.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. As discussed above, our land sales were a result of our regular review of our land portfolio.
      Our Homebuilding gross profit increased 44% to $253.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $176.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue from home sales and an improved gross margin on home sales. Our gross margin on home sales increased to 22.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from 18.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase from period to period is primarily due to the phasing of sales to maximize revenues and improve margins and improved control over costs, such as the re-engineering of existing products to reduce costs of construction; and the reduction of carrying costs on inventory through improved control over the number of unsold homes completed or under construction, particularly in our Texas and West regions. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we generated gross profit on land sales of $8.2 million, as compared to $12.7 million for the comparable period in 2004.
      SG&A expenses increased to $156.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $115.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to 14.3%, as compared to 13.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
      The 100 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is partially due to an increase in compensation expense resulting from increased head count to support our joint venture activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the income associated with these activities is $10.7 million, including management fees of $6.9 million, which is shown separately as income from joint ventures in the consolidated statement of income. Also contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses is an increase of $2.8 million in stock based compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recognized a compensation charge of $4.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, due to the variable accounting treatment of certain stock-based awards which include performance-based accelerated vesting criteria and certain other common stock purchase rights.
      Our net profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by home sales revenues. Our net profit margin increased to 6.6% from 4.9% due to improved gross margins and joint venture revenues.
Net Sales Orders (including joint ventures)
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net sales orders increased by 6% as compared to the same period in 2004, due to an increase in sales in our Texas and West Regions, which were partially offset by decreases in our Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions from the deliberate phasing of sales to improve gross margins. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the sales value of these new orders increased by 20% over the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to an increase in the average net sales price to $323,000 from $283,000 over these same periods.

Financial Services
      Financial Services revenues increased to $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This 18% increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of closings at our title and mortgage operations offset by reduced gains in selling mortgages in the secondary market caused by a shift toward more adjustable rate mortgage loans and market reductions in the interest rate margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our mix of mortgage originations was 41% adjustable rate mortgages (of which approximately 73% were interest only) and 59% fixed rate mortgages, which is a shift from the comparable period in the prior year of 33% adjustable rate mortgages and 67% fixed rate mortgages. The average FICO score of our homebuyers during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 730, and the average loan to value ratio on first mortgages was 77%. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, approximately 10% of our homebuyers paid in cash as compared to 13% during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our mortgage operations capture ratio for non-cash homebuyers remained stable at 61% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The number of closings at our mortgage operations increased to 2,294 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from 2,190 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our title operations capture ratio decreased to 84% of our homebuyers for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from 95% for the comparable period in 2004, due to an organizational change in our Phoenix operations causing a loss of closings for the period. However, the number of closings at our title operations increased to 10,538 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from 9,712 for the same period in 2004. Non-affiliated customers accounted for approximately 76% of our title company revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
      Financial Services expenses increased to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This 42% increase is a result of higher staff levels to support anticipated increased loan activity.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
      Our Homebuilding operations’ primary uses of cash have been for land acquisitions, construction and development expenditures, joint venture investments, and SG&A expenditures. Our sources of cash to finance these uses have been primarily cash generated from operations and cash from our financing activities.
      Our Financial Services operations primarily use cash to fund mortgages, prior to their sale, and SG&A expenditures. We rely primarily on internally generated funds, which include the proceeds generated from the sale of mortgages, and from the mortgage operations’ warehouse lines of credit to fund these operations.
      At June 30, 2005, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $77.5 million as compared to $268.5 million at December 31, 2004.
      Cash used in operating activities was $164.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $63.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the use of cash in operating activities primarily is due to an increase of $269.6 million in additional inventory, consistent with our strategy to increase the number of active communities and our land positions. At June 30, 2005 compared to June 30, 2004, our controlled homesites increased to approximately 74,000 from 46,000 and our homes completed or under construction increased to 5,138 from 3,448. Our homes completed or under construction increased due to our 35% increase in homes in backlog. These expenditures have been financed by retaining earnings and with the issuance of senior subordinated notes. Because of our rapid growth in recent periods, our operations have generally used more cash than they have generated. We expect this trend to continue as long as we are experiencing similar growth.
      Cash used in investing activities was $25.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $29.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in the use of cash in investing activities primarily is due to additional consideration of $6.6 million paid during the six months

ended June 30, 2004 with respect to prior acquisitions, offset by an increase in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $5.7 million.
Financing Activities
      Our consolidated borrowings at June 30, 2005 were $860.9 million, up slightly from $860.4 million at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, our Homebuilding borrowings of $811.5 million included $300.0 million in 9% senior notes due 2010, $185.0 million of 103/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012, $125.0 million of 71/2% senior subordinated notes due 2011, and $200.0 million of 71/2% senior subordinated notes due 2015. Our weighted average debt to maturity is 6.7 years, while our average inventory turnover is 1.5 times per year.
      Our outstanding senior notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are all of our material direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and title operations subsidiaries (the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries). Our outstanding senior subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The senior notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes and any future subordinated debt. The senior subordinated notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured senior subordinated debt. The indentures governing the senior notes and senior subordinated notes require us to maintain a minimum net worth and place certain restrictions on our ability, among other things, to incur additional debt (other than under our revolving credit facility), pay or make dividends or other distributions, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, invest in joint ventures above specified amounts, and merge or consolidate with other entities. Interest on our outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually each year.
      Our financial leverage, as measured by the ratio of Homebuilding net debt to capital, increased to 50.1% at June 30, 2005 from 47.3% at December 31, 2004, due primarily to the use of cash in our operations. As noted above, we have made significant investments in inventory consistent with our growth strategy which we have financed through debt and internally generated cash, resulting in an increase in our financial leverage. We believe that our financial leverage is appropriate given our industry, size and current growth strategy.

      Homebuilding net debt to capital is not a financial measure required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and other companies may calculate it differently. We have included this information

as we believe that the ratio of Homebuilding net debt to capital provides comparability among other publicly-traded homebuilders. In addition, management uses this information in measuring the financial leverage of our homebuilding operations, which is our primary business. Homebuilding net debt to capital has limitations as a measure of financial leverage because it excludes Financial Services bank borrowings and it reduces our Homebuilding debt by the amount of our unrestricted cash. Management compensates for these limitations by using Homebuilding net debt to capital as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our financial leverage. It should not be construed as an indication of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity.
      Our revolving credit facility permits us to borrow to the lesser of (i) $600.0 million or (ii) our borrowing base (calculated in accordance with the revolving credit facility agreement) minus our outstanding senior debt. The facility has a letter of credit subfacility of $300.0 million. In addition, we have the right to increase the size of the facility to provide up to an additional $150.0 million of revolving loans, provided we satisfy certain conditions. Loans outstanding under the facility may be base rate loans or Eurodollar loans, at our election. Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by our material direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than our mortgage and title subsidiaries (unrestricted subsidiaries). The revolving credit facility expires on October 26, 2008. As of June 30, 2005, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had issued letters of credit totaling $140.0 million. We had $460.0 million remaining in availability, all of which we could have borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.
      Our mortgage subsidiary has the ability to borrow up to $120.0 million under two revolving warehouse lines of credit to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans. One of these warehouse lines can be increased to provide up to an additional $50.0 million of availability, subject to meeting certain requirements. One of the lines of credit bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.0%, determined based upon the type of mortgage loans being financed, and the other bears interest at the 30 day Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.125%. Both warehouse lines of credit are secured by funded mortgages, which are pledged as collateral, and require our mortgage subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios and minimums. As of June 30, 2005, we had $49.4 million in borrowings under our warehouse lines of credit.
      We believe that we have adequate financial resources, including unrestricted cash, availability under our current revolving credit facility and the warehouse lines of credit, and relationships with financial partners to meet our current and anticipated working capital, land acquisition and development needs and our estimated consolidated annual debt service payments of $72.8 million (at June 30, 2005, based on the outstanding balances and interest rates as of such date). However, there can be no assurance that the amounts available from such sources will be sufficient. If we identify new acquisition opportunities, or if our operations do not generate sufficient cash from operations at levels currently anticipated, we may seek additional debt or equity financing to operate or expand our business.
      At June 30, 2005, the amount of our annual debt service payments was $72.8 million. This amount included annual debt service payments on the senior and senior subordinated notes of $70.6 million and interest payments on the revolving credit facility, the warehouse lines of credit, and other notes of $2.2 million based on the balances outstanding as of June 30, 2005. The amount of our annual debt service payments on the revolving credit facility fluctuates based on the principal outstanding under the facility and the interest rate. An increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates will change our annual debt service payment by $0.5 million per year.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Land and Homesite Option Contracts
      We enter into land and homesite option contracts to procure land or homesites for the construction of homes. Option contracts generally require the payment of cash or the posting of a letter of credit for the right to acquire land or homesites during a specified period of time at a certain price. These option contracts are either with land sellers or financial investors who have acquired the land to enter into option

contracts with us. Option contracts allow us to control significant homesite positions with a minimal capital investment (generally 15%) and substantially reduce the risk associated with land ownership and development. At June 30, 2005, we had refundable and non-refundable deposits of $186.1 million and had issued letters of credit of approximately $111.2 million associated with our option contracts. The financial exposure for nonperformance on our part in these transactions is generally limited to our deposits and/or letters of credit.
      Additionally, at June 30, 2005, we had outstanding performance/ surety bonds outstanding of approximately $224.9 million and letters of credit of approximately $28.8 million primarily related to land development activities.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
      We have entered into, and expect to expand our use of, joint ventures that acquire and develop land for our Homebuilding operations and/or that also build and market homes for sale to third parties. In addition, we have, on a selective basis, entered into joint ventures that acquire and develop land for sale to unrelated third parties. Through joint ventures, we reduce and share our risk associated with land ownership and development and extend our capital resources. Our partners in these joint ventures generally are unrelated homebuilders, land sellers, financial investors or other real estate entities. In joint ventures where the assets are being financed with debt, the borrowings are non-recourse to us. At June 30, 2005, we had investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $82.4 million. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. These unconsolidated joint ventures are limited liability companies or limited partnerships in which we have a limited partnership interest and a minority interest in the general partner. At June 30, 2005, we had made short-term advances of $15.4 million to these joint ventures.
      We believe that the use of these off-balance sheet arrangements enables us to acquire attractive land positions, which we may not have otherwise been able to acquire at favorable terms, mitigate and share risk associated with land ownership and development, increase our return on assets and extend our capital resources. As a result, we view the use of these off-balance sheet arrangements as beneficial to our Homebuilding activities as they increase our return on our investment.

      These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in and anticipated by the forward-looking statements. The most important factors that could cause the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements and actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
  •  our significant level of debt and the impact of the restrictions imposed on us by the terms of this debt;
 
  •  our ability to borrow or otherwise finance our business in the future;
 
  •  our ability to identify and acquire, at anticipated prices, additional homebuilding opportunities and/or to effect our growth strategies;
 
  •  our relationship with Technical Olympic, S.A. and its control over our business activities;
 
  •  economic or other business conditions that affect the desire or ability of our customers to purchase new homes in markets in which we conduct our business, such as increases in interest or unemployment rates or decline in consumer confidence or the demand for, or the prices of, housing;
 
  •  events which would impede our ability to open new communities and/or deliver homes within anticipated timeframes and/or within anticipated budgets;
 
  •  an increase in interest rates;
 
  •  an increase in the cost, or shortages in the availability of, labor and materials;
 
  •  our ability to compete in our existing and future markets;
 
  •  our ability to successfully utilize and recognize the anticipated benefits of joint venture and option contracts;
 
  •  the impact of hurricanes, tornadoes or other natural disasters or weather conditions on our business, including the potential for shortages and increased costs of materials and qualified labor and the potential for delays in construction and obtaining government approvals; and
 
  •  an increase or change in governmental regulations, or in the interpretation and/or enforcement of existing governmental regulations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
      At June 30, 2005, $810.0 million of our outstanding borrowings are based on fixed interest rates. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to potential adverse changes in interest rates on our existing construction loans, warehouse lines of credit and revolving credit facility. The interest rates relative to these borrowings fluctuate with the prime, Federal Funds, LIBOR, and Eurodollar lending rates. We have not entered into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2005, we had an aggregate of approximately $49.4 million drawn under our bank loan arrangements that were subject to changes in interest rates. Consequently, an increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates will change our annual debt service payments by $0.5 million per year as a result of our bank loan arrangements that are subject to changes in interest rates.
      Our operations are interest rate sensitive. Overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates. If mortgage interest rates increase significantly, this may negatively affect the ability of

homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates will adversely affect our revenues, gross margins, and net income. Higher interest rates also increase our borrowing costs because, as indicated above, our bank loans will fluctuate with the prime, Federal Funds, LIBOR and Eurodollar lending rates.
      Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 contains further information regarding our market risk. There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
      To ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2005. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
