OTHER EVENTS. (1) Standard Pacific Corp. (the "Company") intends to offer up to $100,000,000 principal amount of Senior Notes due 2007 (the "Notes") in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement (File No. 33-45271) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In this connection, the Company is filing certain exhibits as part of this Form 8-K. See "Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits." (2) The Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan of disposition for the Company's savings and loan subsidiary, Standard Pacific Savings, F.A. ("Savings"), in May 1997. Pursuant to the plan, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of Savings' mortgage loan portfolio and has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the remainder of Savings' business, including Savings' charter. The letter of intent is subject to the completion of due diligence on behalf of the purchaser, completion of a definitive sale agreement and approval of the transaction by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The proceeds from the sale of the mortgages will be used first to pay off the outstanding balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the remaining amount to be temporarily invested until the savings deposits are sold along with Savings' remaining assets. Management currently estimates that both the disposition of Savings under the plan and the operating results of Savings for the period through the disposition will not result in a significant gain or loss to the Company. In the sections from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated June 11, 1997 and accompanying Prospectus dated June 11, 1997 attached hereto as Exhibit No. 99.1, Savings has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of its operations have seen segregated in the consolidated statements of operations included therein. 2 ITEM 7.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company delivered 393 new homes (including 16 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures) at an average selling price of $291,921 compared to 289 new homes (including 59 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint venture) at an average selling price of $248,072 for the 1996 first quarter. Homebuilding revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased by approximately 80.7 percent from the comparable prior year period, while cost of sales attributed to residential housing increased by approximately 75.8 percent over the same period. The jump in homebuilding revenues of approximately $49.7 million over the 1996 first quarter resulted primarily from an increase of $38.4 million due to a 64 percent increase in unit deliveries and an increase of $12.3 million due to a 12.6 percent rise in the average selling price of homes delivered, which was partially offset by a $1 million reduction in revenues from improved lot sales. The Company's Northern California and Ventura County operations continue to experience strong growth in unit deliveries increasing 155 and 127 percent, respectively, over the year earlier period. The increase in the average selling price resulted from a greater distribution of homes delivered in the $400,000 to $800,000 price range in California. The Company expects its average selling price in the next few quarters to remain near the $300,000 level. Residential housing cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased by approximately $41.3 million over the 1996 first quarter primarily as a result of an increase of $33.9 million due to a greater number of homes delivered and an increase of $8.3 million attributable to a higher average cost of new homes delivered, which was partially offset by a decrease of $900,000 related to a reduction in the cost of improved lots sold. The homebuilding gross margin percentage increased from 11.7 percent in the first quarter of 1996 to 14.1 percent in the first quarter of 1997. The improved operating results reflect the strengthening housing market, particularly in the Northern California and Orange and Ventura County markets and a greater percentage of deliveries from newer projects which generally carry higher margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the homebuilding and corporate segment decreased as a percentage of revenues from 10.9 percent in the first quarter of 1996 to 8.8 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. This decrease is attributable to the fixed level of certain general and administrative expenses, as well as a reduction in selling costs as a percent of revenues due to the improving housing market in California. Income from the unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $530,000 in the first quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of the reduction in joint venture deliveries between periods. S-15 The following selected operating information has been adjusted on a pro forma basis to include the operating results of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures (dollars in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 MARCH 31, 1996 ----------------------- ----------------------- AS REPORTED AS ADJUSTED AS REPORTED AS ADJUSTED ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Revenues........................ $111,303 $115,290 $61,584 $73,259 Cost of sales................... 95,645 98,804 54,391 63,841 -------- -------- ------- ------- Gross margin.................. $ 15,658 $ 16,486 $ 7,193 $ 9,418 ======== ======== ======= ======= Gross margin percentage......... 14.1% 14.3% 11.7% 12.9%
Interest incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $4.0 million of which $2.5 million was capitalized to real estate inventories and $1.5 million was expensed compared to $4.8 million incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of which $3.2 million was capitalized and $1.6 million expensed. The Company generated a record first quarter net new order total of 661 homes, up 23 percent over the year earlier period. The increase can be attributed primarily to the Northern California division which generated 238 net new orders for the quarter, a 92 percent increase from the previous year period, and the Ventura County division which generated 129 net new orders, up 108 percent from the 1996 first quarter. Coupled with a strong backlog at year end, the increase in orders resulted in a backlog of 753 homes at March 31, 1997, the highest first quarter level since 1988. As a result of higher than expected orders in the fourth quarter of 1996 and first quarter of 1997 which had the effect of reducing the Company's inventory of homes available for sale, the Company expects that net new orders for the second quarter of 1997 will be less than net new orders for the comparable quarter in 1996. Fiscal Year 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year 1995 During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company delivered 1,623 new homes (including 154 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures) at an average selling price of $261,681 compared to 1,436 new homes (including 195 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint venture) at an average selling price of $271,936 during 1995. Excluding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures, residential housing revenues increased by 15.5 percent from the prior year, while cost of sales (before the impairment charge in 1995) increased by 13.1 percent. The increase in residential housing revenues from the prior year of approximately $53.6 million resulted primarily from an increase of $63.3 million attributable to 228 more homes delivered and a $4.9 million increase in revenues attributable to land sales, which were partially offset by a decrease of $14.6 million due to a 3.6 percent lower average selling price of new homes delivered. The increase in unit deliveries was primarily attributable to a 46 percent increase in deliveries from the Northern California division to 366 homes, a 19 percent increase in deliveries from the Ventura division to 184 homes and a 13 percent increase in Texas deliveries to 338 homes. The increase in deliveries can be attributed to, among other things, improved market conditions in the geographic markets the Company serves, particularly in California, as well as lower mortgage interest rates during most of 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995. The average selling price of the Company's homes is impacted by product mix, geographic mix and changing prices on homes sold. The decrease in the average selling price from 1995 to 1996 was due primarily to a reduction in deliveries of higher priced homes from the Company's Orange County division. The $40.3 million increase in residential housing cost of sales (before the impairment charge in 1995) included $56.2 million attributable to an increased number of new home deliveries and a S-16 $5.8 million increase in cost of sales attributable to undeveloped lots sold, which were partially offset by a decrease of $21.7 million due to a decrease in the average cost of new homes delivered. The decrease in the average cost of new homes delivered was primarily due to the changing product mix discussed above. Excluding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures, the gross margin percentage for 1996 was 13.0 percent compared to 11.1 percent (before the impairment charge) in 1995. The increase in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to improved market conditions in the California markets, higher absorption rates, as well as proportionately more deliveries from newer projects in 1996 as compared to 1995. The newer projects generally carry higher margins than older projects, which include land acquired in prior years at higher prices. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the residential housing and corporate segment decreased as a percentage of revenues from 10.1 percent in 1995 to 9.3 percent in 1996. This decline can be attributed to increased revenues of 15.5 percent from the prior year period. Income from the unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from approximately $7.0 million in 1995 to $4.7 million in 1996 as a result of fewer unit deliveries as well as more deliveries of lower priced product from one of the joint ventures. This joint venture delivered 151 new homes in 1996 compared to 195 new homes in 1995 and will deliver the remaining 15 homes during 1997. The Company delivered three homes from a new joint venture during the fourth quarter. This new joint venture could deliver up to several hundred homes over the next five to seven years. The following selected operating information has been adjusted on a pro forma basis to include the operating results of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures (dollars in thousands):
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------ 1996 1995 ----------- ----------- Revenues.............................................. $ 432,031 $ 392,429 Cost of sales......................................... 374,306 344,853 ----------- ----------- Gross margin........................................ $ 57,725 $ 47,576 ----------- ----------- Gross margin percentage............................... 13.4% 12.1% =========== ===========
Interest incurred for 1996 was $16.7 million of which $9.5 million was capitalized to real estate inventories and $7.1 million was expensed compared to $19.2 million incurred in 1995 of which $17.3 million was capitalized and $1.9 million expensed. Net new home orders for the year totaled 1,798, a 21 percent increase from 1995 and the second highest level in Company history. During the year, the Company's Orange County division recorded 686 net new orders (including the joint ventures), up 10 percent from 1995, and the Northern California division generated 474 net new home orders, a 67 percent increase over the 1995 total. Net new home orders for the 1996 fourth quarter totaled a record 343 homes, an 11 percent increase from the 1995 fourth quarter. The improving order trend resulted in a backlog of presold homes of 485 at December 31, 1996, a 55 percent increase over the prior year and the highest fourth quarter backlog since 1989. These positive trends can be attributed, in part, to a favorable mortgage interest rate environment during 1996, an improving economy in many parts of California in which the Company operates and the opening of 13 new projects in California. Fiscal Year 1995 Compared to Fiscal Year 1994 During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company delivered 1,436 new homes (including 195 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint venture) at an average selling price of S-17 $271,936 compared to 1,368 new homes (including 108 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint venture) at an average selling price of $295,772 during 1994. Excluding the Company's unconsolidated joint venture, residential housing revenues for 1995 decreased by 7.6 percent from 1994, while cost of sales for 1995 (before the impairment charge) decreased by 7.2 percent. The decrease in residential housing revenues from the prior year of approximately $28.5 million resulted primarily from a decrease of $5.6 million attributable to 19 fewer homes delivered and a decrease of $24.1 million due to a 6.5 percent lower average selling price of new homes delivered. The slight decline in unit deliveries was a result of reduced deliveries by all of the Company's homebuilding divisions except for the San Diego and Houston divisions. The decrease in deliveries was attributed to, among other things, extremely competitive market conditions in the geographic markets the Company serves as well as rising interest rates during most of 1995 which resulted in higher mortgage rates for the Company's products. The decrease in the average selling price from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to increased deliveries of homes in the $150,000 to $300,000 price range. During 1994, proportionately more homes were delivered which sold in excess of $600,000. The $23.8 million decrease in residential housing cost of sales (before the impairment charge) in 1995 included $5.0 million attributable to a reduced number of new home deliveries and $19.9 million from a decrease in the average cost of new homes delivered. The decrease in the average cost of new homes delivered was primarily due to the changing product mix discussed above whereby more homes were sold in the general price range of $150,000 to $300,000 during 1995. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company adopted FAS 121. The new rule changed the method of valuing long-lived assets, including the Company's real estate holdings. The fourth quarter charge, which approximated $46.5 million, affected various assets held by the Company's residential homebuilding divisions, however, a substantial portion of the charge related to certain assets held in the San Diego area. Excluding the Company's unconsolidated joint venture, the gross margin percentage for 1995 was 11.1 percent (before the impairment charge) compared to 11.5 percent in 1994. The decline in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to increased competition in many of the Company's homebuilding markets resulting in increased use of sales and marketing incentives and price concessions. Additionally, the Company expensed through cost of sales certain costs due to lower sales absorption rates that would have otherwise been capitalized into real estate inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the residential housing and corporate segment increased as a percentage of revenues from 9.8 percent in 1994 to 10.1 percent in 1995. This increase can primarily be attributed to a decrease in revenues by 7.6 from 1994. Income from the unconsolidated joint venture increased from $4.2 million in 1994 to $7.0 million in 1995 as a result of increased deliveries. The joint venture delivered 195 new homes in 1995 compared to 108 new homes in 1994. The joint venture delivered its first home in June 1994. S-18 CARRYING COSTS, REAL ESTATE INVENTORIES AND COST OF SALES
AT DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 --------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Carrying costs in inventory and the per- centage of total real estate inventory: Interest................................. $25.1 6.7% $32.5 8.8% $54.4 11.9% Taxes.................................... 8.0 2.1 8.8 2.4 15.2 3.3 ----- --- ----- ---- ----- ---- $33.1 8.8% $41.3 11.2% $69.6 15.2% ----- --- ----- ---- ----- ---- Total real estate inventories.............. $373 $368 $457 Cost of sales for the year then ended (be- fore FAS 121 adjustment).................. 348 308 332 Ratio of cost of sales to ending inventory (Inventory turn ratio).................... .93 .84 .73
The increase in the inventory turn ratio is due to a 13 percent increase in cost of sales while real estate inventories only increased slightly more than one percent. This positive trend is primarily due to an 18 percent increase in unit deliveries resulting from improved market conditions in California. The increase in unit deliveries is principally a result of higher sales absorption rates at many of the Company's California locations. Additionally, the Company continues to deliver homes from certain of its older projects which have been in the Company's inventory balances for several years and which generally have higher land and interest costs than more recent acquisitions. This in turn creates a more favorable mix of newer projects to the total inventory balance. The newer projects generally develop and deliver more quickly than the older projects. Capitalized interest in real estate inventory at December 31, 1996 decreased approximately $7.4 million from December 31, 1995, a decrease of approximately 23 percent. This decrease can be attributed to (1) the sale of homes from older projects which generally include higher carry costs than new projects and (2) improving market conditions which have resulted in shorter holding periods and a higher inventory turnover rate. UTILIZATION OF DEBT AND EQUITY IN FUNDING REAL ESTATE INVENTORIES Sources of financing for the Company's real estate inventories were as follows for the periods ended:

- -------- (1) Includes intersegment income of $77,000 and $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $274,000, $241,000 and $270,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation with no effect on consolidated earnings. Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased 33.9 percent to $5.4 million from $4.0 million in the prior year first quarter. The increase in sales can be attributed to a stronger office furniture market and the favorable reception of new products that were introduced during 1996. The higher gross margin percentage is a result of higher sales volumes and changing product mix. Fiscal Year 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995 Net product sales for 1996 increased 27 percent to $19.3 million from $15.2 million in 1995. The increase in sales can be attributed to improvements in the national economy and the resultant impact on the office furniture industry and the introduction of new products during 1996 which have been positively accepted in the market. The gross margin percentage increased in 1996 due to product mix as well as favorable economies of scale and absorption of factory overhead as a result of increased sales volume. Although net sales volume increased during 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses for 1996 decreased compared to 1995 amounts and as a percent of sales from 36.4 percent in 1995 to 27.5 percent in 1996. This reduction is primarily attributable to management's implementation of aggressive cost cutting measures. S-20 Fiscal Year 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994 Net product sales for 1995 decreased almost 12 percent to $15.2 million from $17.2 million in 1994. Sales in 1994 included a greater amount of foreign orders, particularly from Mexico. The gross margin percentage was below 1994 levels due to product mix and lower sales volumes. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1995 were up slightly over the 1994 amounts and increased as a percent of sales from 31.8 percent in 1994 to 36.4 percent in 1995 primarily as a result of additional selling and marketing costs incurred in connection with the introduction of new products during 1995 plus the somewhat fixed nature of the general and administrative expenses overall. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan of disposition for the Company's savings and loan subsidiary in May 1997. Pursuant to the plan, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of Savings' mortgage loan portfolio and has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the remainder of Savings' business, including Savings' charter. The letter of intent is subject to the completion of due diligence on behalf of the purchaser, completion of a definitive sale agreement and approval of the transaction by the OTS. The proceeds from the sale of the mortgages will be used first to pay off the outstanding balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the remaining amount to be temporarily invested until the savings deposits are sold along with Savings' remaining assets. Savings has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of its operations have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Management currently estimates that both the disposition of Savings under the plan and the operating results of Savings for the period through the disposition will not result in a significant gain or loss to the Company. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal use of cash has been for operating expenses, land acquisitions and construction expenditures, principal and interest payments on debt and dividends to shareholders. Cash requirements were provided from internally generated funds and outside borrowings, including bank revolving credit facilities and term loans. Management believes that these sources of cash are sufficient to finance its current working capital requirements and other needs. In December 1996, the Company completed a syndication of its Revolving Credit Facility whereby the total unsecured commitment was increased to $200 million and additional lenders were added to the facility. In connection with the syndication the Company combined its separate bank credit facilities into a single larger facility which created additional borrowing capacity of approximately $50 million. The facility has a current maturity date of July 31, 1999. This agreement contains covenants, including certain financial covenants. This agreement also contains provisions which may, in certain circumstances, limit the amount the Company may borrow under the credit facility. At March 31, 1997, the Company had borrowings of $82.8 million outstanding under this facility and had approximately $115.1 million of additional borrowing capacity available under the provisions of the agreement. In conjunction with the syndication, the Company repaid in full the principal balances on S-21 two separate term loans during the fourth quarter of 1996. The Company is currently in discussions with the agent bank for its Revolving Credit Facility concerning the amendment of the facility to increase the committment and incorporate more favorable terms. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into such an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company made its first $20 million sinking fund payment on the 10 1/2% Senior Notes on March 1, 1997, leaving $80 million of the 10 1/2% Senior Notes outstanding. The next sinking fund payment is due March 1, 1998. To finance land purchases, the Company may utilize, among its other sources, purchase money mortgage financing of which approximately $4.0 million was outstanding for this purpose at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $10.1 million from December 31, 1995. At March 31, 1997, purchase money mortgage obligations totaled $2.5 million. Additionally, the Company has utilized joint ventures over the past few years whereby these joint ventures have obtained secured construction financing. This type of structure minimizes the use of funds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The Company plans to continue using this type of arrangement to finance the development of properties as opportunities arise. The Company paid approximately $886,000 and $3.6 million in dividends to its stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively. Payments of dividends on the Company's common stock is within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and is dependent upon various factors, including the earnings, cash flow, capital requirements and operating and financial condition of the Company. Certain of the Company's senior credit and debt agreements impose restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company may pay. On April 29, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share of common stock. The cash dividend was paid on May 28, 1997 to shareholders of record on May 14, 1997. Pursuant to the previously announced common stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 259,800 shares of its common stock for approximately $1.9 million during the first quarter of 1997. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,260,750 shares of its common stock for approximately $8.1 million, leaving a balance of approximately $11.9 million available to be repurchased. During 1996, the Company repurchased 430,300 shares of its common stock for approximately $2.3 million. In January 1992, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which was declared effective in March 1992. In March 1993 the Company issued $100 million of 10 1/2% Senior Notes due in 2000 pursuant to the shelf registration statement. The sale of the Notes in this Offering will be made pursuant to the shelf registration statement and will result in the sale of the remainder of the securities registered thereunder. The Company has no material commitments or off balance sheet financing arrangements that would tend to affect future liquidity. S-22 DESCRIPTION OF NOTES The Notes offered hereby are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1992 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"), filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 24, 1993. The following summary of the material provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete, and where reference is made to particular provisions of the Indenture, such provisions are incorporated by reference as part of such summary, which is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The information herein concerning the Notes should be read in conjunction with the statements under "Description of the Debt Securities" in the accompanying Prospectus, to which reference is hereby made. Certain terms used herein are defined under "Certain Definitions" below. GENERAL The Notes will mature on , 2007, are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu with the Company's other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes will be limited to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries. See "Description of the Debt Securities--General" in the accompanying Prospectus. Each Note will bear interest at the rate per annum shown on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement from the date of original issuance. Interest on the Notes will be payable on each and (each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing , 199 , to holders of record at the close of business on the and immediately preceding such interest payment date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Principal and interest will be payable, and the Notes will be exchangeable and transferable, at the office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in New York, New York, or at such other place or places as may be designated pursuant to the Indenture, provided that the Company, at its option, may pay interest, other than interest due at maturity or upon redemption, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as shown on the Registrar's books. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. No service charge will be made for any registration, transfer, exchange or redemption of Notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Notes are not savings accounts or deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION Except as set forth in the following paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to , 2002. Thereafter, the Notes will be redeemable, at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on of the years set forth below:
REDEMPTION YEAR PRICE ---- ---------- 2002........................................................... 2003........................................................... 2004........................................................... 2005 and thereafter............................................
S-31 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. CHANGE OF CONTROL Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion of such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount outstanding at the repurchase date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts and relevant financial information regarding such Change in Control; (iii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and (iv) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the covenant described hereunder. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof. Future Indebtedness of the Company may contain prohibitions of certain events which would constitute a Change of Control or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes could cause a default under such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any repurchases required in connection with a Change of Control. The Company's failure to purchase the Notes in connection with a Change in Control would result in a default under the Indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under other Indebtedness. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more securities in global form (the "Global Securities") held in book-entry form. Accordingly, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee will initially be the sole registered holder of the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. Upon the issuance of a Global Security, DTC or its nominee will credit the accounts of persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the Notes represented by such Global S-32 Security purchased by such persons in the Offering. Such accounts shall be designated by the Underwriters with respect to Notes placed by the Underwriters for the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC for such Global Security. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security by persons that hold through participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by such participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security. Payment of principal and interest on Notes represented by any such Global Security will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company, or the Underwriters will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security representing any Notes or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any of DTC's records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company has been advised by DTC that upon receipt of any payment of principal of, or interests on, any Global Security, DTC will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name" and will be the sole responsibility of such participants. A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC. A Global Security is exchangeable for certificated Notes only if (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a notice that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable, and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable for certificated Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be transferred to, and registered and exchanged for, certificated Notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary holding such Global Security may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Security becomes exchangeable for certificated Notes, (i) certificated Notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denomination of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, (ii) payment of principal, any repurchase price, and interest on the certificated Notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Notes will be registerable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes, and (iii) no service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the certificated Notes, although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole S-33 owner or holder of the Notes represented by such Global Security for the purposes of receiving payment on the Notes, receiving notices, and for all other purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. Beneficial interests in Notes will be evidenced only by, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary and its participants. Cede & Co. has been appointed as the nominee of DTC. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purposes under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary, and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that the Company requests any action of Holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, the Depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to DTC's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. CERTAIN COVENANTS Maintenance of Consolidated Net Worth The Indenture provides that if the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the end of any two consecutive fiscal quarters is less than $200 million, then the Company will offer to acquire (the "Offer") on the last day of the fiscal quarter next following such second fiscal quarter or, if such second fiscal quarter ends on the last day of the Company's fiscal year, 135 days after the end of such second fiscal quarter (the "Purchase Date"), 10 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (or, if less than 10 percent of the principal amount of the Notes originally issued are then outstanding, then all of the Notes outstanding at that time) at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date. In no event shall the failure to meet the minimum Consolidated Net Worth stated above at the end of any fiscal quarter be counted toward more than one Offer. The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the covenant described above. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described above, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described above by virtue thereof. If an Offer to acquire Notes is oversubscribed, the Company shall acquire Notes on a pro rata basis or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. S-34 Limitation on Additional Indebtedness The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness unless, after giving effect thereto, either (i) the ratio of Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding, for purposes of this calculation only, (A) purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness, and (B) Indebtedness Incurred under letters of credit, escrow agreements and surety bonds obtained in the ordinary course of business), to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Company is less than 2.25 to 1; or (ii) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur: (i) Indebtedness under one or more Bank Credit Facilities in an amount not in excess of $275 million; (ii) purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness; (iii) obligations Incurred under letters of credit, escrow agreements and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business; (iv) Indebtedness Incurred under a Warehouse Facility, provided that the amount of such Indebtedness (excluding funding drafts issued thereunder) outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (iv) may not exceed 98 percent of the value of the Mortgages pledged to secure Indebtedness thereunder; and (v) Indebtedness Incurred solely for the purpose of refinancing or repaying any existing Indebtedness so long as (A) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the existing Indebtedness refinanced or repaid (plus the premiums or other payments required to be paid in connection with such refinancing or repayment and the expenses incurred in connection therewith), (B) the maturity of such new Indebtedness is not earlier than that of the existing Indebtedness to be refinanced or repaid, (C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence, has an Average Life at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or repaid, (D) the new Indebtedness is pari passu with or subordinate to the Indebtedness being refinanced or repaid, and (E) the existing and new Indebtedness are obligations of the same entity. The Company and its Subsidiaries will retain the ability to incur significant additional borrowings irrespective of the limitations set forth above.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Standard Pacific Corp.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Standard Pacific Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As explained in Note 2 of the financial statements, effective December 31, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting for the impairment of long- lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. COMPANY ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Standard Pacific Corp., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), is a regional builder of single-family homes with operations throughout the major metropolitan areas of California and Texas. Approximately 79 percent of the Company's home deliveries (including the unconsolidated joint ventures) were in California for the year ended December 31, 1996. There have been periods of time in California where economic growth has slowed and the average sales price of homes in certain areas in California in which the Company does business have declined. There can be no assurance that home sales prices will not decline further in the future. The Company's business is affected by national, world and local economic conditions and events and the effect such conditions and events have on the markets it serves in California and Texas and in particular by the level of mortgage interest rates and consumer confidence in those regions. The Company cannot predict whether interest rates will be at levels attractive to prospective homebuyers. If interest rates increase, and in particular mortgage interest rates, the Company's operating results could be adversely impacted. The Company also has an office furniture manufacturing subsidiary, Panel Concepts, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements also include Standard Pacific Savings, F.A. ("Savings"), a federally chartered savings and loan institution which has been treated as a discontinued operation (See Note 12). 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--HOMEBUILDING, CORPORATE AND MANUFACTURING a. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has less than a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1997, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. b. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-8 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) c. Cash and Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and for Savings, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and overnight deposits and all highly liquid short-term investments, including interest bearing securities purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less. d. Investment Securities Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" requires the Company to carry the portion of their investments in debt and equity securities they do not intend to hold to maturity at their market values. Securities classified as available-for-sale will be carried at their market values with changes in the market values recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of the income tax effect; securities classified as trading securities will be carried at their market values with changes in the market values recorded as a component of income, and; securities classified as held-to-maturity will be recorded at amortized cost. e. Real Estate and Manufacturing Inventories For real estate under development the Company capitalizes direct carrying costs, including interest, property taxes and related development costs. Field construction supervision and related direct overhead and certain selling costs are also included in the capitalized cost of real estate inventories. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. Prior to December 31, 1995, each real estate project was carried at the lower of its cost or its estimated net realizable value. Estimated net realizable value was deemed to be the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from the project, including relevant carrying costs such as interest. Effective December 31, 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (FAS 121). FAS 121 changed the method of valuing long-lived assets, including real estate inventories, whereby long-lived assets that are expected to be held and used in operations are to be carried at the lower of cost or, if impaired, the fair value of the asset, rather than the net realizable value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of should be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. In evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charge) is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Once a determination has been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for real estate inventories expected to be held and used, various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair value including, among others, estimated costs of construction, development and marketing, sales absorption rates, anticipated sales prices and carrying costs. The calculation of the impairment loss is based on estimated future cash flows which are calculated to include an appropriate return and interest. The estimates used to determine the impairment adjustment could change in the near term as the economy in the Company's key areas change. The effect of the adoption of FAS 121, plus the effects of continued adverse trends experienced during 1995 in certain of the geographic markets in which the Company operates, on the values of certain of the Company's land holdings, particularly in San Diego county, resulted in a pretax noncash charge of $46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. These adverse developments included, among other things, record high foreclosure rates, declines in median home prices and continued anemic economic recovery. F-9 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Manufacturing inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first- out) or market. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. f. Capitalization of Interest The Company follows the practice of capitalizing interest on real estate inventories during the period of development. Interest capitalized as a cost of real estate under development is included in cost of sales as related units are sold. The following is a summary of interest capitalized and expensed for the following periods:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------- -------------------------- CORPORATE AND HOMEBUILDING OPERATIONS 1997 1996 1996 1995 1994 -------------------------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total interest incurred during the period............................. $ 4,013 $ 4,839 $16,687 $19,200 $19,600 Less: Interest capitalized as a cost of real estate under development... 2,540 3,183 9,545 17,340 19,600 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Interest expense.................... $ 1,473 $ 1,656 $ 7,142 $ 1,860 $ -- ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Interest previously capitalized as a cost of real estate under development, included in homebuilding cost of sales......... $ 4,484 $ 3,078 $16,920 $27,638(1) $33,069 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Capitalized interest in ending in- ventories.......................... $23,198 $32,622 $25,142 $32,517 $54,373 ======= ======= ======= ======= =======
- -------- (1) Excludes $11.6 million of interest included in the FAS 121 adjustment. g. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. h. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This statement requires a liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. i. Warranty Costs Estimated future warranty costs are charged to cost of sales in the period when the revenues from home closings are recognized. j. Revenue Recognition Sales of residential housing are recorded after construction is completed, required down payments are received and title passes. Manufacturing sales are recorded as of the date shipments are made to customers. F-10 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) k. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share, representing primary and fully diluted amounts (which are not materially different), are based on the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Equivalent shares were determined by using the treasury stock method, which assumes that all dilutive securities were exercised and that the proceeds received were applied to repurchase outstanding shares at the average market prices during each year. The weighted average number of common and equivalent shares amounted to 29,705,032 and 30,064,232 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 30,011,595, 30,488,676 and 30,674,349 for the three years ended December 31, 1996, respectively. Equivalents were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 1995. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is required to be adopted by the Company on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods presented. Under the new requirements, primary earnings per share will be replaced with basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options. Had earnings per share been calculated under the provisions of the new standard, both basic and diluted earnings per share would be the same as net income (loss) per share as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. l. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan using the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123). Under the provisions of FAS 123, companies can elect to account for stock-based compensation plans using a fair-value-based method or continue measuring compensation expense for those plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB 25. FAS 123 requires that companies electing to continue using the intrinsic value method must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair-value-based method of accounting had been applied. Effective December 31, 1996, the Company adopted FAS 123 for financial statement disclosure purposes only and accordingly, the adoption had no impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position for the year then ended. m. Reclassifications Effective January 1, 1997, the Company changed its presentation of selling costs in its consolidated statements of operations whereby selling costs are now combined with general and administrative expenses. This presentation is consistent with industry practice. Previously, the Company included these costs as a component of cost of sales. The Company reclassified the prior period amounts to conform with the 1997 presentation. Additionally, certain other items in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. F-11 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 3. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES Summarized financial information related to the Company's two joint ventures accounted for by the equity method are as follows:

The Company's share of equity shown above is $843,000 and $4.6 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Revenues............................................ $32,168 $46,166 $30,558 Cost of revenues.................................... 23,817 32,881 22,608 ------- ------- ------- Net earnings of joint ventures...................... $ 8,351 $13,285 $ 7,950 ======= ======= =======
Generally, the Company's share of earnings in the two joint ventures detailed above is 50 percent. Additionally, the Company is party to a joint venture whose sole purpose is to develop finished lots whereby the Company will purchase the lots from the joint venture to construct homes thereon. The Company does not anticipate recording any income or loss from this joint venture and accordingly, the tables above do not reflect the results of operations or financial condition of this particular joint venture. 4. UNSECURED NOTES PAYABLE AND TRUST DEED NOTES PAYABLE a. Notes Payable to Banks In December 1996, the Company completed a syndication of its principal revolving credit facility whereby the total unsecured commitment was increased to $200 million and additional lenders were added to the facility. In connection with the syndication the Company combined its separate bank revolver and term loan facilities into a single larger facility. The facility has a current maturity date of July 31, 1999. The facility includes covenants which require, among other things, the maintenance of certain amounts of tangible stockholders' equity, as defined, and the maintenance of debt-to- equity ratios, as defined. The facility also contains provisions which may, in certain circumstances, limit the amount the Company may borrow under the credit facility. At December 31, 1996, the Company had F-12 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) borrowings of $57.3 million outstanding under this revolving credit arrangement and had approximately $140 million of additional borrowing capacity available under the provisions of the agreement. Interest rates charged under this facility primarily include IBOR and prime rate pricing options. In addition to fees charged on the commitment and unused portion of the facility, this line of credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a compensating balance of one percent of a portion of the commitment amount or pay certain fees in lieu of the compensating balance. In conjunction with the syndication discussed above, the Company repaid in full the principal balances on two separate bank term loans in the fourth quarter of 1996. As of December 31, 1996, and throughout the year, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of its lending agreements. b. Trust Deed Notes Payable At December 31, 1996 and 1995, trust deed notes payable primarily consist of trust deeds on land purchases. c. Borrowings and Maturities The following summarizes the borrowings during the three years ended December 31, 1996 for the unsecured notes payable and trust deed notes payable:
1996 1995 1994 ------- -------- -------- Maximum borrowings outstanding during year at month end..................................... $91,299 $101,947 $137,730 Average outstanding balance during the year.... $78,552 $ 86,377 $119,988 Weighted average interest rate for the year.... 6.8% 7.5% 6.6% Weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding at year end....................... 7.1% 6.8% 7.7%
Maturities of the trust deed notes payable and the 10 1/2% Senior Notes (see Note 5 below) are as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 1997............................................................. $ 24,467 1998............................................................. 20,000 1999............................................................. 20,000 2000............................................................. 40,000 -------- $104,467 ========
5. 10 1/2% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2000 In 1993, the Company issued $100 million principal amount of its 10 1/2% Senior Notes due March 1, 2000 (the "Notes"). Interest is due and payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to maturity. The Company is required to make annual mandatory sinking fund payments sufficient to retire 20 percent of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes ($20 million per year) commencing on March 1, 1997, at a redemption price of 100 percent of the principal amount, with the balance of the Notes ($40 million) retired on March 1, 2000. F-13 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company will be obligated to make an offer to purchase a portion of the Notes in the event of the Company's failure to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, as defined, and under certain other circumstances. In addition, the Notes contain other restrictive covenants which, among other things, impose certain limitations on the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) create liens, (iii) make restricted payments, as defined, and (iv) sell assets. As of December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. 6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate: Cash and Equivalents--The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. These assets primarily consist of short term investments and demand deposits. Investment Securities Held to Maturity--These investments consist primarily of U.S. government and corporate debt securities which are publicly traded. The fair value of these issues is based on their quoted market prices at year end. Revolving Credit Facilities--The carrying amounts of the revolving credit obligations approximate market value because of the frequency of repricing the borrowings (usually at 14 to 90 day maturities). Term Loans Payable--For 1995, these notes payable were set to mature at various dates, however, borrowings typically reprice every three months or less. Consequently, the carrying value approximated market value for 1995. These term loans were paid off during 1996, therefore, no balance is reflected as of the year ended December 31, 1996. Trust Deed Notes Payable--These notes are primarily for purchase money deeds of trust on land acquired. These notes generally have maturities ranging from one to two years. The rates of interest paid on these notes approximate the current rates available for secured real estate financing with similar terms and maturities. 10 1/2 Percent Senior Notes Due 2000--This issue is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Consequently, the fair value of this issue is based on its quoted market price at year end. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:
AT DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------- 1996 1995 ----------------- ----------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE -------- -------- -------- -------- Financial Assets: Cash and equivalents.................. $ 5,975 $ 5,975 $ 895 $ 895 Investment securities held to maturi- ty................................... 5,329 5,379 5,410 5,457 Financial Liabilities: Revolving credit facilities........... $ 57,300 $ 57,300 $ 7,500 $ 7,500 Term loans payable.................... -- -- 41,000 41,000 Trust deed notes payable.............. 4,467 4,467 14,854 14,854 10 1/2 percent senior notes due 2000.. 100,000 103,375 100,000 103,125
F-14 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases office facilities under noncancelable operating leases. Generally, the Company is required to pay taxes and insurance and maintain the assets under such operating leases. Future minimum rental payments on operating leases having an initial term in excess of one year as of December 31, 1996 are as follows: 1997.............................................................. $1,452 1998.............................................................. 1,312 1999.............................................................. 887 2000.............................................................. 473 2001.............................................................. 354 Thereafter........................................................ 78 ------ Subtotal........................................................ 4,556 Less--Sublease income............................................. (481) ------ Net rental obligations.......................................... $4,075 ======
Rent expense under noncancelable operating leases for the three years ended December 31, 1996 was approximately $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the legal responsibility and financial impact with respect to such claims and litigation cannot presently be ascertained, the Company does not believe that these matters will result in the payment by the Company of monetary damages, net of any applicable insurance proceeds, that, in the aggregate, would be material in relation to the consolidated financial position of the Company. It is reasonably possible that the reserves provided for by the Company with respect to such claims and litigation could change in the near term. 8. INCOME TAXES The Company's provision (benefit) for income taxes includes the following components:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------ 1996 1995 1994 ------ -------- ------- Current: Federal.......................................... $1,394 $ 3,285 $ 5,988 State............................................ 418 991 1,787 ------ -------- ------- 1,812 4,276 7,775 ------ -------- ------- Deferred: Federal.......................................... 3,254 (14,731) (2,138) State............................................ 968 (4,451) (644) ------ -------- ------- 4,222 (19,182) (2,782) ------ -------- ------- Total Provision (Benefit).......................... $6,034 $(14,906) $ 4,993 ====== ======== =======
F-15 STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The deferred income tax provision resulted from the following temporary differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ------ -------- ------- Inventory adjustments............................ $4,792 $(18,966) $(2,024) Financial accruals...............................

The components of the Company's deferred income tax asset (liability) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
1996 1995 ------- ------- Inventory adjustments........................................ $12,093 $13,968 Financial accruals........................................... 4,144 3,478 Other........................................................ 244 159 ------- ------- $16,481 $17,605 ======= =======
At December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded a consolidated deferred tax asset of approximately $18.1 million reflecting the benefit created primarily as a result of the $46.5 million noncash charge taken during 1995 related to the impairment of long-lived assets. A significant portion of this asset's realization is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or if tax rates are lowered. The effective tax rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 34 percent due to the following items:

STOCK OPTION PLAN In 1991, the Company adopted the 1991 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which officers, directors and employees of the Company are eligible to receive options to purchase common stock of the Company. Under the Plan the maximum number of shares of Company stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted is one million. On May 13, 1997, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"). Under the 1997 Plan, the maximum number of shares of Company stock that may be issued is two million. Options are typically granted to purchase shares at prices equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The options typically vest over a one to five year period and are generally exercisable at various dates over one to 10 year periods. When the options are exercised, the proceeds are credited to equity along with the related income tax benefits, if any. The following is a summary of the transactions relating to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

During the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company repriced 326,100 options which were previously granted to nonexecutive employees. The new price represents the fair market value of the shares at the date of repricing. Additionally, the weighted average exercise price for all options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 reflects the repriced options at their new exercise price. The following information is provided pursuant to the requirements of FAS 123. The fair value of each option granted during 1996 is estimated using the Black--Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

The effects of applying FAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts. 10. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AND COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN In connection with the Merger, the Company adopted a stockholder rights agreement (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement, one right will be granted for each share of the Company's outstanding common stock. Each right entitles the holder, in certain takeover situations, as defined, and after paying the exercise price (currently $40), to purchase Company common stock having a market value equal to two times the exercise price. Also, if the Company is merged into another corporation, or if 50 percent or more of the Company's assets are sold, the rightholders may be entitled, upon payment of the exercise price, to buy common shares of the acquiring corporation at a 50 percent discount from the then current market value. In either situation, these rights are not available to the acquiring party. However, these exercise features will not be activated if the acquiring party makes an offer to acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares at a price which is judged by the Board of Directors to be fair to all Company stockholders. The rights may be redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances at the rate of $.01 per right. The rights will expire on December 31, 2001, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged. In July 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Company's common stock. In January 1997 the Board increased the repurchase limit to $20 million. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company repurchased 430,300 shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $2.3 million. In connection with the common stock repurchase plan, the Company has repurchased an aggregate amount of approximately $6.2 million through the year ended December 31, 1996. 11.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (DOLLARS PRESENTED IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan of disposition for the Company's savings and loan subsidiary in May 1997. Pursuant to the plan, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of Savings' mortgage loan portfolio and has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the remainder of Savings' business, including Savings' charter. The letter of intent is subject to the completion of the due diligence on behalf of the purchaser, completion of a definitive sale agreement and approval of the transaction by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The proceeds from the sale of the mortgages will be used first to pay off substantially all of the outstanding balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the remaining amount to be temporarily invested until the savings deposits are sold along with Savings' remaining assets. Savings has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of its operations have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Management currently estimates that both the disposition of Savings under the plan and the operating results of Savings for the period through the disposition will not result in a significant gain or loss to the Company. As a consequence of the decision to dispose of Savings the assets and liabilities of this discontinued operation have been classified in the consolidated balance sheets as "Net assets of discontinued operations." Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The notes to consolidated financial statements have been revised, as necessary, to reflect the change in reporting due to discontinued operations. Interest income from these discontinued operations were $20,072,000, $25,805,000 and $25,863,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $4,514,000 and $5,312,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and March 31, 1997, are as follows:
