Exhibit 99.1

The Company does not believe that it is in default under the indenture governing its outstanding convertible senior notes. The indenture does not contain an express financial reporting covenant requiring that Beazer file periodic reports with the SEC or deliver to the trustee copies of Beazer’s SEC reports within any prescribed time period. Therefore, the Company believes that this notice of default is invalid and without merit, as are the other notices of default previously delivered by the trustee.

Beazer has today filed an Amended Complaint For Declaratory Judgment And Injunctive Relief in an action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division against the trustees under the applicable indentures. Beazer is seeking, among other relief, a declaration from the court against the trustees that the delay in filing with the SEC Beazer’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter does not constitute a default under the applicable indentures and that the delay will not give rise to any right of acceleration on the part of the holders of the senior notes.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s August 15, 2007 Form 8-K Current Report, the Company’s delay in filing its third quarter Form 10-Q is the result of a continuing independent internal investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Audit Committee and its independent counsel are working expeditiously to complete the internal investigation as soon as practicable. For a further explanation of the investigation and related matters, including certain risks related to the alleged defaults under the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes and convertible senior notes, please refer to the Company’s August 15, 2007 Form 8-K Current Report.
