See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 DEL WEBB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Del Webb Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, primarily elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and accounts) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain financial statement items from prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period financial statement presentation. The Company's operations include its communities, conventional homebuilding operations and residential land development project. The Company's communities are large-scale, master-planned residential communities at which the Company controls all phases of the master plan development process from land selection through the construction and sale of homes. Within its communities, the Company is the exclusive builder of homes. The Company's conventional homebuilding operations encompass the construction and sale of homes in subdivisions. The Company's residential land development project is being completed and includes the sale of individual land parcels and lots to other builders and developers for conventional housing and related commercial development. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company defines operating communities as communities generating revenues from home closings. Communities in the pre-operating stage are those not yet generating revenues from home closings. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. 5 DEL WEBB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (2) Real Estate Inventories The components of real estate inventories are as follows:

(1) Net of cancellations. The Company recognizes revenue at close of escrow. (2) Includes Sun City West and Sun City Grand. The Company began taking new home sales orders at Sun City Grand in October 1996. (3) Includes Sun City Summerlin and Sun City MacDonald Ranch. The Company began taking new home sales orders at Sun City MacDonald Ranch in September 1995. Home closings began at Sun City MacDonald Ranch in January 1996. (4) Home closings began at Sun City Hilton Head in August 1995 and at Sun City Georgetown in February 1996. (5) A majority of the backlog at December 31, 1996 is currently anticipated to result in revenues in the next 12 months. However, a majority of the backlog is contingent upon the availability of financing for the customer, sale of the customer's existing residence or other factors. Also, as a practical matter, the Company's ability to obtain damages for breach of contract by a potential home buyer is limited to retaining all or a portion of the deposit received. In the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, cancellations of home sales orders as a percentage of new home sales orders written during the period were 19.8 percent and 19.1 percent, respectively. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 REVENUES. Home closings at Sun City Georgetown (where the Company had not yet begun delivering homes in the three months ended December 31, 1995) accounted for $26.5 million of the increase in revenues to $293.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $239.5 million for the 1995 quarter. Increased home closings at the Sun Cities Las Vegas (where home closings did not begin at Sun City MacDonald Ranch until January 1996) accounted for $18.8 million of the increase in revenues. Decreased home closings at Sun City Tucson and Terravita (reflecting the approaching completion of those communities) resulted in decreased revenues of $8.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. HOME CONSTRUCTION, LAND AND OTHER COSTS. The increase in home construction, land and other costs to $225.7 million for the 1996 quarter compared to $182.8 million for the 1995 quarter was primarily due to the increase in home closings. As a percentage of revenues, these costs were 76.8 percent for the 1996 quarter compared to 76.4 percent for the 1995 quarter, with the increase primarily due to changes in mix of product, subdivisions and home closings among the Company's communities and conventional homebuilding operations and to increased discounts and decreased lot premiums at certain communities. INTEREST. As a percentage of revenues, amortization of capitalized interest was 4.0 percent for the 1996 quarter compared to 4.2 percent for the 1995 quarter. The change was due primarily to a change in mix of home closings among the Company's communities and conventional homebuilding operations. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.4 percent for the 1996 quarter as compared to 13.6 percent for the 1995 quarter. This decrease resulted from the spreading of relatively fixed corporate overhead over greater revenues. INCOME TAXES. The increase in income taxes to $6.1 million in the 1996 quarter as compared to $4.9 million in the 1995 quarter was due to the increase in earnings before income taxes. The effective tax rate also increased from 35 percent to 36 percent. NET EARNINGS. Net earnings increased to $10.8 million in the 1996 quarter from $9.2 million in the 1995 quarter, primarily due to a 306-unit (25.4 percent) increase in home closings, which resulted in a $53.2 million (23.5 percent) increase in homebuilding revenues and an $11.3 million (21.3 percent) increase in homebuilding gross margin. NET NEW ORDER ACTIVITY AND BACKLOG. Net new orders in the 1996 quarter were 5.8 percent higher than in the 1995 quarter. A significant increase was realized at the Sun Cities Phoenix as a result of new order activity at Sun City Grand, which began taking new orders in October 1996. Sun City Georgetown, whose major amenities all opened in the 1996 quarter, also experienced an increase in net new orders. Net new orders at Sun City Tucson and Terravita declined 53.3 percent and 17.6 percent, respectively, from the 1995 quarter, reflecting the approaching completion of those communities. The number of homes under contract at December 31, 1996 was 8.3 percent lower than at December 31, 1995. This backlog decrease was due primarily to a decrease at Sun City Roseville as a result of a decline in net new orders and a high level of home closings in the past 12 months at that community. A significant backlog increase was experienced at the Sun Cities Phoenix as a result of the commencement of new order activity at Sun City Grand in October 1996. 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 REVENUES. Home closings at Sun City Georgetown (where the Company had not yet begun delivering homes in the six months ended December 31, 1995) and increased home closings at Sun City Hilton Head (where the Company did not begin delivering homes until August 1995) accounted for $52.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of the increase in revenues to $558.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $445.8 million for the 1995 period. Increased home closings at the Sun Cities Las Vegas (where home closings did not begin at Sun City MacDonald Ranch until January 1996) accounted for $28.8 million of the increase in revenues. Decreased home closings at Sun City Tucson and Terravita (reflecting the approaching completion of those communities) resulted in decreased revenues of $9.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively. Land and facility sales and other revenues were $7.2 million higher in the 1996 period than in the 1995 period. In general, land and facility sales are a normal part of the Company's master-planned community developments but occur irregularly, complicating period-to-period comparisons. HOME CONSTRUCTION, LAND AND OTHER COSTS. The increase in home construction, land and other costs to $430.8 million for the 1996 period compared to $342.1 million for the 1995 period was primarily due to the increase in home closings. As a percentage of revenues, these costs were 77.2 percent for the 1996 period compared to 76.7 percent for the 1995 period, with the increase primarily due to changes in mix of product, subdivisions and home closings among the Company's communities and conventional homebuilding operations and to increased discounts and decreased lot premiums at certain communities. INTEREST. As a percentage of revenues, amortization of capitalized interest was 4.2 percent for the 1996 period compared to 4.0 percent for the 1995 period. This increase was primarily due to higher levels of indebtedness and increases in land held for longer-term development (with respect to which land the Company cannot allocate capitalized interest). Also, the fiscal 1996 adoption of SFAS No. 121 resulted in the allocation of more capitalized interest to communities with greater home closings than Sun City Palm Desert, resulting in an increase in amortization of capitalized interest as a percentage of revenues for the period ended December 31, 1996. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.9 percent for both the 1996 and 1995 periods. Of the increase in absolute selling, general and administrative expenses to $77.6 million for the 1996 period as compared to $61.8 million for the 1995 period, $6.0 million was attributable to higher sales and marketing expenses, $3.6 million was due to increased commissions on the increased revenues and $3.3 million resulted from the recognition of expenses at Sun City Hilton Head, Sun City MacDonald Ranch and Sun City Georgetown in the 1996 period (pre-operating costs were capitalized for part or all of the 1995 period since home closings had not then begun at these communities). INCOME TAXES. The increase in income taxes to $9.4 million in the 1996 period as compared to $8.4 million in the 1995 period was due to the increase in earnings before income taxes. The effective tax rate also increased from 35 percent to 36 percent. NET EARNINGS. Net earnings increased to $16.8 million in the 1996 period from $15.7 million in the 1995 period with a 605-unit increase in home closings and a $112.2 million increase in revenues. The overall less-than- proportionate increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to: a decline in operating margins at certain of the Company's more established communities as a result of lower lot premiums and increased discounts; operating margins in the 1996 period below the average community operating margin for the 1995 period at the newer communities of Sun City Hilton Head, Sun City MacDonald Ranch and Sun City Georgetown; and an increase in amortization of capitalized interest (see "Interest"). 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) NET NEW ORDER ACTIVITY AND BACKLOG. Net new orders in the 1996 period were 1.6 percent higher than in the 1995 period. A significant increase was realized at the Sun Cities Phoenix as a result of new order activity at Sun City Grand, which began taking new orders in October 1996. Net new orders at Sun City Tucson and Terravita declined 46.5 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively, from the 1995 period, reflecting the approaching completion of those communities. Net new orders at Sun City Roseville declined 23.0 percent in the 1996 period, but only slightly in the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The number of homes under contract at December 31, 1996 was 8.3 percent lower than at December 31, 1995. See "Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 -- Net New Order Activity and Backlog." LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY - ------------------------------------------------ At December 31, 1996 the Company had $1.9 million of cash and short-term investments, $207.0 million outstanding under its $350 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and $6.2 million outstanding under its $15 million of short-term lines of credit. In January 1997 the Company completed a public offering of $150 million in principal amount of 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2008. The Debentures were issued at a 0.5 percent discount to yield 9.8 percent and may be redeemed by the Company on or after January 15, 2002 at 104.875 percent, declining by January 15, 2005 to 100 percent, of the principal amount of the Debentures redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The $145 million of net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Company's $350 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company currently intends to reborrow under that facility to fund land acquisitions, development of new projects or the purchase or redemption of its $100 million of outstanding 10 7/8% Senior Notes, which are redeemable at par on or after March 31, 1997, or for other general corporate purposes. Management believes that the Company's current borrowing capacity, when combined with existing cash and short-term investments and currently anticipated cash flows from the Company's operating communities, conventional homebuilding activities and residential land development project, will provide the Company with adequate capital resources to fund the Company's currently anticipated operating requirements for the next 12 months. The Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility and the indentures for the Company's publicly-held debt contain restrictions which could, depending on the circumstances, affect the Company's ability to borrow in the future. If the Company at any time is not successful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund its then planned development and expansion expenditures, some or all of its projects may be significantly delayed. Any such delay could result in cost increases and may adversely affect the Company's results of operations. The cash flow for each of the Company's communities can differ substantially from reported earnings, depending on the status of the development cycle. The initial years of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for, among other things, land acquisition, obtaining master plan and other approvals, construction of amenities (including golf courses and recreation centers), model homes, sales and administration facilities, major roads, utilities, general landscaping and interest. Since these costs are capitalized, this can result in income reported for financial statement purposes during those initial years significantly exceeding cash flow. However, after the initial years of development or expansion, when these expenditures are made, cash flow can significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as costs and expenses include amortization charges for substantial amounts of previously expended costs. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) During the six months ended December 31, 1996 the Company generated $125.3 million of net cash from community sales activities, used $82.9 million of cash for land and lot and amenity development at operating communities, paid $44.9 million for costs related to communities in the pre-operating stage, generated $12.6 million of net cash from conventional homebuilding operations and used $41.9 million of cash for other operating activities. The resulting $31.8 million of net cash used for operating activities (which was primarily attributable to expenditures for communities not yet generating home sales revenues and for corporate activities, including payment of interest and income taxes) was funded mainly through borrowings under the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility and utilization of cash and short-term investments existing at the beginning of the period. At December 31, 1996, under the most restrictive of the covenants in the Company's debt agreements, $11.9 million of the Company's retained earnings was available for payment of cash dividends and for the acquisition by the Company of its common stock.
