See accompanying notes TOLL BROTHERS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. The October 31, 2001 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from the October 31, 2001 audited financial statements of Toll Brothers, Inc. and Subsidiaries. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, it is suggested that they be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's October 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of January 31, 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" provides guidance on accounting for certain intangibles and eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Intangible assets, including goodwill, that are not subject to amortization are required to be tested for impairment and possible write-down on an annual basis. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on November 1, 2001, the first day of its 2002 fiscal year. The Company had $9.4 million of goodwill at November 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The Company's financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 20% to 50% owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for on the equity method. Income Recognition Revenue and cost of sales are recorded at the time each home, or lot, is closed and title and possession have been transferred to the buyer. Land, land development and related costs are amortized to the cost of homes closed based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each community. Home construction and related costs are charged to the cost of homes closed under the specific identification method. Land, common development and related costs of master planned communities are allocated to individual communities within the master planned community on a relative sales value basis. Joint Venture Accounting The Company has entered into three joint ventures to develop and sell land that was owned or is currently owned by its venture partners. The Company recognizes its share of earnings from the sale of lots to other builders. The Company does not recognize earnings from lots it purchases from the ventures, but reduces its cost basis in the lots by its share of the earnings on those lots. The Company has agreed to purchase 180 lots from one of the ventures, 46 lots from another and has the right to purchase up to 385 lots from the third. In addition, the Company effectively owns one-third of Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the "Trust"), an entity that was formed to take advantage of commercial real estate opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. The Company is committed to invest an additional $9.2 million in the Trust if required. The Company provides development finance and administrative services to the Trust and receives fees from it under various agreements. The Company also owns 50% of a joint venture that is currently selling and building an active adult, age-qualified community. The Company's total commitment to these entities is not material to its financial position. These investments are accounted for on the equity method.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the three months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, certain income statement items related to the Company's operations (amounts in millions): Three months ended January 31, 2002 2001 $ % $ % Housing sales Revenues 482.7 458.4 Costs 351.4 72.8 344.8 75.2 Land sales Revenues 6.4 10.9 Costs 4.2 65.7 8.5 78.3 Equity earnings in unconsolidated joint venture 2.4 Other 3.1 3.6 Total revenue 492.2 475.3 Selling, general & administrative expenses* 52.4 10.6 46.9 9.9 Interest expense* 14.2 2.9 11.8 2.5 Total costs and expenses* 422.2 85.8 412.1 86.7 Income before income taxes* 70.0 14.2 63.2 13.3
Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding *Percentages are based on total revenues. HOUSING SALES Housing revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2002 increased $24.3 million, or 5%, over housing revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2001. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered was principally the result of increases in the base sales prices of our homes and a shift in the location of homes delivered to more expensive areas. The aggregate sales value of contracts signed during the three months ended January 31, 2002 amounted to $485.2 million, an 8% increase over the same period in fiscal 2001. This increase is primarily the result of a 5% increase in the number of homes for which new contracts were signed and a 3% increase in the average price of the homes under those contracts (due primarily to increases in base selling prices and a shift in the location of homes sold to more expensive areas). At January 31, 2002, the backlog of homes under contract but not delivered amounted to $1.41 billion (2,662 homes), as compared to $1.41 billion (2,727 homes) at October 31, 2001 and $1.42 billion (2,678 homes) backlog at January 31, 2001. Housing costs as a percentage of housing sales decreased from 75.2% to 72.8% in fiscal 2002 as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of sales prices of homes increasing faster than cost increases, lower land and land improvement costs, improved operating efficiencies and lower inventory write-offs. The Company incurred $1.3 million in write-offs in the three-month period of fiscal 2002 as compared to $2.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2001. The Company continues to increase the number of communities from which it is selling. At January 31, 2002 it had 165 selling communities as compared to 145 at January 31, 2001 and expects to have 175 by October 31, 2002. Demand for homes continues to strengthen. Customer deposits for the month of February 2002 were up 31% in the aggregate over February 2001 and 18% higher on a per community basis. Deposits are non-binding agreements signed by a home buyer which reserve a home site and fix the home price for a short period of time. Not all deposits result in signed, binding agreements of sale, and therefore, deposits are not included in backlog. Because it takes, on average, more than ten months from the time the Company receives a deposit until it delivers the home, deposits considered in the context of the Company's experience, are an indication of the level of business that the Company can anticipate in fiscal 2003. Based upon the strength of demand and the increased number of selling communities, the Company believes revenues for fiscal 2003 could exceed $2.5 billion. LAND SALES The Company operates a land development and sales operation in Loudoun County, Virginia and is also developing several master planned communities in which it may sell land to other builders. The amount of land sales will vary from quarter to quarter depending upon the scheduled timing of the delivery of the land parcels. Land sales amounted to $6.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2002, a 41% decrease over the comparable quarter of 2001. The decrease in land sales was due to fewer lots being available for sale at South Riding, offset in part by increased sales of lots in the Company's other master planned communities. Cost of sales as a percentage of land sales declined from 78.3% in 2001 to 65.7% in 2002. This decrease was the result of lower cost land as a percentage of sales price being delivered in 2002 as compared to 2001. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME For the three months ended January 31, 2002, other income decreased by $545,000 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income due to lower interest rates and a decrease in income from the Company's ancillary businesses offset in part by increased income from forfeitures of customer deposits. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A") SG&A spending increased by $5.4 million, or 12%, in the three months ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2001. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A increased to 10.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to 9.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This increase was primarily due to the higher number of communities open for sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company had 165 selling communities at January 31, 2002 as compared to 145 at January 31, 2001. INTEREST EXPENSE The Company determines interest expense on a specific lot-by-lot basis for its homebuilding operations and on a parcel-by-parcel basis for its land sales. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense will vary depending on many factors including the period of time that the land was owned, the length of time that the homes delivered during the period were under construction, and the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by the Company in proportion to the amount of its inventory during those periods. Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the same period of fiscal 2001. INCOME TAXES Income taxes were provided at an effective rate of 36.4% and 36.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and the first quarter of fiscal 2001, respectively. The decrease in the 2002 rate is the result of higher tax free interest income during the 2002 quarter as compared to the 2001 quarter. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Funding for the Company's operations has been principally provided by cash flows from operations, unsecured bank borrowings and the public debt and equity markets. Cash flow from operations, before inventory additions, has improved as operating results have improved. The Company anticipates that the cash flow from operations, before inventory additions, will continue to be strong but will be dependent on the level of revenues from the delivery of homes and land sales. The Company has used the cash flow from operations, bank borrowings and public debt to acquire additional land for new communities, to fund additional expenditures for land development and construction needed to support the Company's continuing expansion of the number of communities in which it is offering homes for sale, to repurchase Company stock and to reduce debt. The Company expects that inventories will continue to increase and is currently negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities. The Company has a $535 million unsecured revolving credit facility with 16 banks, of which $445 million extends through March 2006 and $90 million extends through February 2003. As of January 31, 2002, the Company had $80 million of loans and approximately $52.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. The Company believes that it will be able to fund its activities through a combination of existing cash resources, cash flow from operations and other sources of funds similar in nature to those the Company has accessed in the past. In November 2001, the Company issued $150 million of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 to the public. The Company has used the proceeds for general corporate purposes including the acquisition of inventory. HOUSING DATA
