-6- 4. Comprehensive Income -------------------- We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), during 1998. SFAS 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of its balance sheet. We had no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements -------------------------------- We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") effective January 1, 2001. Under the provisions of SFAS 133, we are required to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measure these instruments at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. We will adopt SFAS 141 for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Also in June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." This pronouncement addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill would no longer be amortized but would be assessed at least annually for impairment using a fair value methodology. We will adopt SFAS 142 for all goodwill and other intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 and for all existing goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 we will cease recording amortization of goodwill which would increase net income in 2002 by approximately $1.9 million, net of income taxes, or approximately $0.06 per diluted share. Other than ceasing the amortization of goodwill, we do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 142 will have a significant effect on our financial position or the results of our operations as we do not currently anticipate any impairment charges for existing goodwill. In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early application encouraged and generally to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. -7- 6. Net Income Per Share -------------------- We compute net income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). This statement requires the presentation of both basic and diluted net income per share for financial statement purposes. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method. The table set forth below reconciles the components of the basic net income per share calculation to diluted net income per share.

-10- Net income for the 2001 third quarter increased 4 percent to $26.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $25.2 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 net income increased 35 percent to $79.8 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, compared to $59.1 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. Third quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was up 16 percent to $59.0 million compared to $50.8 million for the 2000 third quarter. Our EBITDA margin was 17.7 percent for the 2001 third quarter, up 90 basis points over the 2000 third quarter. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2001 was $162.6 million compared to $117.3 million for the year earlier period, up 39 percent. Homebuilding Homebuilding pretax income was up 2 percent to $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $42.0 million in the previous year period. The higher level of operating income was primarily attributable to an 11 percent increase in homebuilding revenues and a $2.3 million increase in joint venture income, which was partially offset by a 70 basis point decline in the homebuilding gross margin percentage. Homebuilding pretax income was up 32 percent to $130.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, generating a pretax margin of 13.8 percent, compared to $98.6 million and a 12.1 percent homebuilding pretax margin last year. Homebuilding revenues for the 2001 third quarter were $333.9 million compared to $302.0 million in the 2000 third quarter. The higher revenue total was due to a 15 percent increase in deliveries to 1,035 new homes (exclusive of joint ventures), which was partially offset by a 3 percent decrease in the average home price to $322,000. During the 2001 third quarter we delivered 583 new homes in California compared to 582 homes in the prior year period. Deliveries were up 24 percent in Southern California. Deliveries were down 42 percent in Northern California reflecting the slowing national economy and its impact on the technology sector. Deliveries were up 7 percent in Texas to 158 new homes reflecting an 8 percent increase in Dallas deliveries which was partially offset by a 4 percent decline in Austin deliveries, while deliveries in Arizona were up 48 percent to 279 new homes. Our Colorado division, which was acquired at the end of August 2000, delivered 89 new homes during the 2001 third quarter compared to 33 in the prior year period. Homebuilding revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $944.6 million compared to $817.8 million for the year earlier period. The higher revenue total was attributable to an 18 percent increase in deliveries to 2,853 homes (exclusive of joint ventures) which was offset, in part, by a modest decline in the average home selling price to $331,000. During the 2001 third quarter the average home price in California was up slightly to $413,000. We have been successful in delivering a greater percentage of our homes in the $300,000 to $500,000 price range, however, during the 2001 third quarter we delivered 15 new homes that were priced over $1 million compared to 3 homes in the year earlier period which had the effect of slightly increasing the average home price in California. The effect of our price diversification efforts will become more apparent as our higher end projects are completed and delivered. The average home price in Texas was down 2 percent to $288,000 reflecting a greater percentage of deliveries in Dallas and Houston. The average home price in Arizona was up 6 percent to $173,000 due to changes in the delivery mix, and the average home price in Colorado was $331,000 for the quarter. The consolidated average home price for the 2001 fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $360,000 compared to $388,000 in the 2000 fourth quarter. The homebuilding gross margin percentage for the 2001 third quarter was down 70 basis points to 21.0 percent versus 21.7 percent in the year earlier quarter. The decline in the gross margin percentage -11- was driven principally by the drop in Northern California deliveries where new homes have generated above average margins. The margins generated in Texas and Arizona were off slightly from the levels achieved last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the homebuilding gross margin percentage was up 270 basis points to 22.1 percent compared to 19.4 percent in the year earlier period which was due primarily to the jump in California gross margins, including strong volume and margin contributions from Southern California. Looking forward, we anticipate our consolidated gross margin percentage to decline due to the slowing economy. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the 2001 third quarter were 9.4 percent of revenues compared to 8.4 percent last year. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were 9.2 percent of revenues versus 8.3 percent in the previous year period. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to higher levels of sales and marketing costs incurred as a result of changing housing market conditions combined with an increase in non-California deliveries which typically incur higher levels of selling costs as a percentage of revenues. Income from unconsolidated joint ventures for the 2001 third quarter was generated from the delivery of 74 homes compared to 48 deliveries in the same period last year. During the quarter, we began delivering homes from our first active adult neighborhood, a four-project development located in our Talega master-planned community in South Orange County. Additional land sales from our Talega land development joint venture are also planned for the 2001 fourth quarter. Net new home orders for the 2001 third quarter were down 13 percent from the year earlier period to 973 new homes compared to 1,113 in the prior year period. The decline in orders was the result of the slowing national economy. Orders were down 11 percent in Southern California on a 4 percent increase in community count, down 52 percent in Northern California on a 15 percent increase in community count, down 39 percent in Texas on a 4 percent decline in active selling communities and up 29 percent in Arizona on a 19 percent higher community count. Net new orders in Colorado totaled 69 homes for the 2001 third quarter from 9 active communities. We ended the 2001 third quarter with a backlog of 1,890 presold homes valued at an estimated $665.5 million compared to 2,011 homes valued at $735.4 million last year. Financial Services Revenues from our California region financial services subsidiary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were up 226 percent and 235 percent, respectively, over the prior year periods. The higher revenue totals were driven primarily by 83 percent and 117 percent increases in the dollar volume of loans sold during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 compared to the prior year periods, combined with improved margins recognized on the sale of loans and higher net interest income generated on loans held for sale. The increase in loan volume was due primarily to higher capture rates in our California projects. The rise in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the year earlier periods primarily reflects the higher origination and loan sale activity in California. The financial services joint venture income reflects the operating results of SPH Mortgage, our mortgage banking joint venture in Arizona and Texas with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and, for 2001, also reflects the operations of WRT Financial, our mortgage banking joint venture in Colorado. The increase in venture income was primarily attributable to higher delivery levels from these regions. Other financial services income represents earnings from our title insurance operation in Texas, which serves as a title insurance agent that offers title examination services. -12- Liquidity and Capital Resources Our homebuilding operations' principal uses of cash have been for operating expenses, land acquisitions, construction expenditures, market expansion (including acquisitions), principal and interest payments on debt, share repurchases and dividends to our shareholders. Cash requirements have been provided from internally generated funds and outside borrowings, including our bank revolving credit facility and public note offerings. Our mortgage banking subsidiary uses cash from internal funds, a parent line of credit and a mortgage credit facility to fund its mortgage lending operations. Based on our current business plan and our desire to carefully manage our leverage, we believe that these sources of cash, together with equity or equity-related capital sources, are sufficient to finance our current working capital requirements and other needs. We have a $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility with our bank group which matures July 31, 2004. The credit facility contains an option which allows us to increase the total aggregate commitment up to $475 million subject to the approval of the agent bank. This agreement also contains a borrowing base provision and financial covenants which may limit the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2001, we had borrowings of $132.2 million outstanding and had issued approximately $35.7 million of letters of credit under this facility. To fund mortgage loans originated by our financial services subsidiary, we have a $60 million mortgage credit facility with a bank. This facility, which was entered into on October 5, 2001, replaced our previous $40 million revolving mortgage warehouse facility and contains an option which allows us to increase the total aggregate commitment up to $90 million on a temporary basis between November 1, 2001 and January 31, 2002. Presold mortgage loans are sold to the bank for a short period of time (typically for 15 to 30 days), subject to our commitment to repurchase the mortgage loans, while the investor completes its administrative review of the applicable loan documents. Loans originated on a non-presold basis are typically sold to the bank for 15 to 60 days, subject to our commitment to repurchase the mortgage loans, before sale to third party investors. The facility, which has a current maturity date of October 5, 2002, also contains certain financial covenants. In January 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our $425 million universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The universal shelf registration statement permits the issuance from time to time of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants. Currently, $375 million of securities remain available for issuance under this universal shelf (including approximately $32.7 million of common stock registered on behalf of potential selling stockholders). In June 2001, we utilized a portion of our universal shelf and issued $50 million of 8 1/2% Senior Notes which mature on April 1, 2009. This note offering was an add-on to our previously issued 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2009. These notes, which were issued at a discount to yield approximately 8.8 percent, are unsecured obligations and rank equally with our other existing senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, commencing April 1, 2004 at 104.25 percent of par, with the call price reducing ratably to par on April 1, 2007. Net proceeds after underwriting expenses were approximately $48.6 million and were used to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We will, under certain circumstances, be obligated to make an offer to purchase a portion of these notes in the event of certain asset sales. In addition, these notes contain other restrictive covenants which, among other things, impose certain limitations on our ability to (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) create liens, (3) make restricted payments, and (4) sell assets. Also, upon a change in control we are required to make an offer to purchase these notes. From time to time, purchase money mortgage financing is used to finance land acquisitions. At September 30, 2001, we had approximately $489,000 outstanding in trust deed notes payable. -13- As a form of off balance sheet financing and for other strategic purposes, joint venture structures are used on selected projects. This type of structure, which typically includes obtaining secured development and construction financing, minimizes the use of funds from our revolving credit facility and other corporate financing sources. We plan to continue using these types of arrangements to finance the development of properties as opportunities arise. If the market value of the properties in certain of these joint ventures declines, we may be required to make capital contributions to these ventures to reduce amounts borrowed under the secured loans. We also utilize option contracts as a method of acquiring land. Option contracts generally require the payment of a non-refundable cash deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at certain prices. Under certain lot option contracts, the purchase of the properties is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by us and the land sellers. We paid approximately $7.2 million, or $0.24 per common share ($0.08 per common share per quarter), in dividends to our stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Common stock dividends are paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon various factors, including earnings, cash flows, capital requirements and operating and financial conditions, including our overall level of leverage. Additionally, our revolving credit facility and public notes impose restrictions on the amount of dividends we may be able to pay. On October 23, 2001, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock. This dividend is to be paid on November 29, 2001 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we issued 219,088 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options for total consideration of approximately $2.6 million. In April 2001, our Board of Directors approved a new $35 million stock repurchase plan which replaced our previously announced stock buyback plan. Through November 2, 2001, we have repurchased 943,000 shares of common stock for approximately $18.5 million under the new plan, leaving a balance of approximately $16.5 million available for future share repurchases. We have no other material commitments or off balance sheet financing arrangements that under current market conditions are expected to materially affect our future liquidity. -14- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our mortgage loans receivable, mortgage loans held for sale and outstanding debt. SPH Mortgage, WRT Financial and, to a lesser extent, Family Lending manage interest rate risk with respect to loan commitments and loans held for sale by preselling loans. Preselling loans consist of obtaining commitments (subject to certain conditions) from investors (in the case of SPH Mortgage and WRT Financial, typically from their financial institution partners) to purchase mortgage loans concurrently with extending interest rate locks to loan applicants. To enhance potential returns on the sale of mortgage loans, Family Lending also originates a portion of its mortgage loans on a non-presold basis. To hedge its interest rate risk associated with extending interest rate commitments to customers prior to selling loans to investors and holding closed loans following funding, Family Lending enters into forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities. Loans originated in this fashion are typically held by Family Lending and financed under its mortgage warehouse credit facility for 15 to 60 days before they are sold to third party investors. Family Lending utilizes the services of a third party advisory firm to assist with the implementation and execution of its hedging strategy for loans originated on a non-presold basis. While this hedging strategy should assist Family Lending in mitigating risk associated with originating loans on a non-presold basis, these instruments involve elements of market risk which could result in losses on loans originated in this manner if not hedged properly.
