(1)	The ratios presented in this table have been adjusted to reflect our Construction Services (sold in March 2007), Home Equity (sold in July 2006), International Homebuilding (sold in September 2005), Construction Products (spun off in January 2004), and Manufactured Homes (spun off in June 2003) as discontinued operations.
(2)	Earnings from Continuing Operations are Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle adopted in fiscal 2004.
(3)	Represents a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as if accounted for under the equity method. We believe that separate disclosure of the consolidating information is useful because the Financial Services subsidiaries operate in a distinctly different financial environment that generally requires significantly less equity to support their higher debt levels compared to the operations of our other subsidiaries; the Financial Services subsidiaries have structured their financing programs substantially on a stand alone basis; and we have limited obligations with respect to the indebtedness of our Financial Services subsidiaries. Management uses this information in its financial and strategic planning. We also use this presentation to allow investors to compare us to homebuilders that do not have financial services operations.
