In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, primarily eliminations 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 the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year financial statement presentation. The 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, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(7) SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company conducts its operations in two primary segments in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, South Carolina and Texas. The Company's active adult communities (primarily its "Sun City" communities) are generally large-scale, master planned communities with extensive amenities for people age 55 and over. The Company's family and country club communities are open to people of all ages and are generally developed in metropolitan or market areas in which the Company is developing active adult communities. Within all of its communities, the Company has usually been the exclusive builder of homes. Both of the Company's primary segments generate their revenues through the sale of homes (and, to a much lesser extent, land and facilities) to external customers in the United States. The Company is not dependent on any major customer. Information as to the operations of the Company in different business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the Company's communities and their customers. Certain information has not been included by segment due to the immateriality of the amount to the segments or in total. The Company evaluates segment performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"). The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those for the Company. There are no significant intersegment transactions. 8 DEL WEBB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (7) SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) In Thousands (Unaudited) ------------------------- Three Months Ended September 30, ------------------------- 2000 1999 ---- ---- Revenues: Active adult communities $ 285,885 $ 304,016 Family and country club communities 130,516 104,430 Corporate and other 1,257 1,116 ----------- ----------- $ 417,658 $ 409,562 =========== =========== EBIT: Active adult communities $ 42,236 $ 43,269 Family and country club communities 18,889 12,084 Corporate and other (17,832) (16,559) ----------- ----------- $ 43,293 $ 38,794 =========== =========== Allocation of Capitalized Interest: Active adult communities $ 11,964 $ 13,030 Family and country club communities 5,577 4,227 Corporate and other -- -- ----------- ----------- $ 17,541 $ 17,257 =========== =========== Assets at Period End: Active adult communities $ 1,398,400 $ 1,366,224 Family and country club communities 471,795 509,515 Corporate and other 133,375 106,296 ----------- ----------- $ 2,003,570 $ 1,982,035 =========== =========== Expenditures for Real Estate Inventories: Active adult communities $ 225,632 $ 259,218 Family and country club communities 90,143 114,524 Corporate and other 131 2,112 ----------- ----------- $ 315,906 $ 375,854 =========== =========== Purchases of Property and Equipment: Active adult communities $ -- $ 1,590 Family and country club communities 85 204 Corporate and other 1,473 2,212 ----------- ----------- $ 1,558 $ 4,006 =========== =========== Depreciation and Other Amortization: Active adult communities $ 1,012 $ 1,187 Family and country club communities 390 127 Corporate and other 1,249 1,486 ----------- ----------- $ 2,651 $ 2,800 =========== =========== 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Sun Cities Las Vegas include Sun City Summerlin (which is built out), Sun City MacDonald Ranch and Sun City Anthem. The Sun Cities Northern California include Sun City Roseville (which is built out) and Sun City Lincoln Hills. Other active adult communities represent two smaller-scale communities in Arizona and California. Home closings began at Anthem Country Club (an Arizona country club community near Phoenix) in September 1999. A substantial majority of the backlog at September 30, 2000 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 and, in certain cases, sale of the customer's existing residence. 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 three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, cancellations of home sales orders as a percentage of new home sales orders written during the period were 14.4 percent and 15.1 percent, respectively. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES. Total revenues increased to $417.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $409.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The 1999 quarter included $9.7 million of revenues from models and vacation getaway homes sold with long-term leasebacks. There were no such sale/leasebacks in the 2000 quarter. Exclusive of closings of models and vacation getaway homes, active adult community homebuilding revenues decreased to $277.3 million for the 2000 quarter from $292.6 million for the 1999 quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to Sun City at Huntley, which closed 75 homes in the 2000 quarter compared to 226 in the 1999 quarter. Sun City at Huntley began the 2000 quarter with a backlog of 145 homes under contract, compared to a backlog of 505 homes under contract at the beginning of the 1999 quarter. The Company believes the decreased beginning backlog at this community was largely attributable to prior-year pent-up demand which has now been satisfied. An increase in the average revenue per active adult community home closing resulted in a $25.6 million revenue increase, partially offsetting the decrease in home closings. Exclusive of closings of models and vacation getaway homes, family and country club community homebuilding revenues increased to $117.8 million for the 2000 quarter from $96.7 million for the 1999 quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to Anthem Arizona Country Club, which did not begin home closings until September 1999. Anthem Arizona Country Club closed 95 homes in the 2000 quarter compared to 17 in the 1999 quarter and, exclusive of the increase in revenue per home closing, contributed $17.0 million to the increase in revenues. An increase in the average revenue per family and country club community home closing contributed $23.4 million to the increase in revenues. These increases were partially offset by decreases in home closings at the Phoenix-area family communities (due to fewer subdivisions) and the Nevada family communities (due to closing out these operations). Exclusive of the change in revenue per home closing, the decreased home closings at these communites resulted in a $15.0 million decrease in revenues. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Land and facility sales increased to $16.5 million for the 2000 quarter from $6.4 million for the 1999 quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to land sales at the Company's Nevada family communities resulting from the Company's decision to cease family community operations in that state. HOME CONSTRUCTION, LAND AND OTHER COSTS. The small increase in home construction, land and other costs to $316.9 million for the 2000 quarter from $313.8 million for the 1999 quarter was due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by a decrease in these costs as a percentage of revenues (75.9 percent for the 2000 quarter compared to 76.6 percent for the 1999 quarter). This cost decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to an increase in homebuilding gross margin to 23.8 percent for the 2000 quarter from 22.9 percent for the 1999 quarter. Of this 0.9 percent increase, 0.6 percent was attributable to deferral of profit in the 1999 quarter on the sale and long-term leaseback of 58 model and vacation getaway homes at three communities. The balance of the increase was largely attributable to price increases that have been effected over the past 12 months. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 13.7 percent for the 2000 quarter from 13.9 percent for the 1999 quarter. This decrease resulted primarily from the increase in revenues. The Company believes this decrease is also partially attributable to results of efforts to cut costs and improve the efficiency of operations. INTEREST. As a percentage of revenues, allocation of capitalized interest to costs and expenses was 4.2 percent for both the 2000 quarter and the 1999 quarter. INCOME TAXES. The increase in income taxes to $9.3 million for the 2000 quarter from $7.8 million for the 1999 quarter was due to the increase in earnings before income taxes. The effective tax rate in both quarters was 36 percent. NET EARNINGS. The increase in net earnings to $16.5 million for the 2000 quarter from $13.8 million for the 1999 quarter was attributable to the increase in homebuilding gross margin and increased gross margin from land sales. NET NEW ORDER ACTIVITY AND BACKLOG. Net new orders in the 2000 quarter were comparable to the 1999 quarter. The Company believes increases were attributable to the following: * Strong demand at Sun City Lincoln Hills resulted in the increase at the Sun Cities Northern California. * Strong demand at Sun City Anthem resulted in the increase at the Sun Cities Las Vegas. The Company believes that largely offsetting decreases were attributable to the following: * Included for the 1999 quarter were 145 models and vacation getaway homes sold with long-term leasebacks (mostly at Sun City Grand). There were no such sale/leasebacks in the 2000 quarter. * The built-out Clover Springs community (part of other active adult communities) contributed 93 net new orders in the 1999 quarter but only one net new order in the 2000 quarter. * Sun City Hilton Head experienced a decrease in net new orders. The Company is implementing new programs designed to address this reduction. 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Due to increased sales prices, the dollar amount of homes under contract at September 30, 2000 was only 4.6 percent lower than at September 30, 1999, while the number of homes in backlog was 15.2 percent lower. The Company believes that the unit backlog decrease was attributable to the following: * Satisfaction of prior-year pent-up demand at Sun City at Huntley. The Company is developing a broader product range and addressing pricing issues for this community. * The Company's previous decision to cease family community operations in Nevada. * A reduction in the number of family community subdivisions in the Phoenix area. * The decreased net new orders at Sun City Grand, Clover Springs and Sun City Hilton Head, discussed above. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY The cash flow for each community can differ substantially from reported earnings, depending on the development cycle. The initial years of development or expansion may require significant cash outlays for, among other things, acquiring tracts of land, obtaining development approvals, developing land and lots and constructing project infrastructure (such as roads and utilities), recreation centers, golf courses, model homes and sales facilities. 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, cash flow can significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as costs and expenses include allocation charges for substantial previously expended costs. During the 2000 quarter the Company generated $123.2 million of net cash from operating community sales activities, used $109.1 million for land and lot and amenity development at operating communities and used $57.5 million for interest and other operating activities. The resulting $43.4 million of net cash used by operating activities was funded primarily through borrowings under the Company's $500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Real estate development is dependent on, among other things, the availability and cost of financing. In periods of significant growth, the Company requires significant additional capital resources. In fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, the Company had under development, among other projects: (i) Sun City Lincoln Hills; (ii) Anthem Las Vegas, which includes Sun City Anthem, country club and family communities; (iii) Anthem Arizona, which includes country club and family communities; and (iv) Sun City at Huntley. Given its assessment of market conditions and appropriate timing for these new communities, the Company decided to engage in substantial development at these communities and permit its indebtedness and leverage to increase substantially. To date, material cash expenditures have been made for these communities. In order to provide adequate capital to meet the Company's operating requirements (largely for these new communities), the Company in February 1999 completed a $150 million public debt offering and negotiated an increase in the amount of its Credit Facility from $450 million to $500 million. At September 30, 2000 the Company had $272.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Primarily as a result of the public debt offering and borrowings to fund these development expenditures, the Company incurred considerably more indebtedness and was considerably more leveraged throughout fiscal 1999 and most of fiscal 2000 than it had been in recent years. The Company has reduced its leverage, with debt to total capitalization declining from 72.5 percent at September 30, 1999 to 67.6 percent at September 30, 2000 as a result of debt repayments and an increase in retained earnings. The Company currently intends to further reduce its percentage of debt to total capitalization to 67 percent or lower before incurring material development expenditures (excluding land acquisition) for any significant new communities. Its near-term goal is to reach 67 percent debt to total capitalization in fiscal 2001. The Company expects to have adequate capital resources to meet its needs for the next 12 months. At September 30, 2000, under the most restrictive of the covenants in the debt agreements, $80.9 million of the retained earnings was available for payment of cash dividends and acquisition of stock.
