Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

             On August 1, 2001, Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (the “Company” or “Beazer”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beazer Homes Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”), completed its acquisition of the homebuilding operations of Sanford Homes of Colorado.  The transaction occurred pursuant to an Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Assets and Stock by and among Beazer, Holdings, Sanford Homes of Colorado, LLLP (“SHOC”), Charles H. Sanford III, Linda A. Elliott and April Corporation (“April”).  Pursuant to this agreement, Beazer, through Holdings, acquired certain operational assets and liabilities of SHOC and all of the capital stock of April.  The April stock was acquired from trusts maintained for the benefit of Charles H. Sanford III and Linda A. Elliot.

             The aggregate purchase price paid in the Sanford Homes acquisition was approximately $66 million dollars including the assumption of liabilities aggregating approximately $35.5 million.  The purchase price is subject to possible adjustment, which we expect to be finalized by September 30, 2001. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from borrowings under Beazer’s $250 million revolving credit facility and cash flow from operations.

             Neither Beazer nor any of its affiliates had, and to the knowledge of Beazer no director or officer of Beazer and its affiliates had, any material relationship with SHOC, April or Mr. Sanford or Ms. Elliott or their respective affiliates prior to the acquisition.

             SHOC and April and their predecessors have been in the business of building homes in the metropolitan Denver area since 1961.  Sanford Homes is the third largest private homebuilder in the Denver area (in revenues), closing 354 homes in calendar 2000.
