Item 2  -  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
           FINANCIAL CONDITION.

                                    OVERVIEW

The Company experienced a successful third quarter of operations. Pre-tax net
income for the quarter exceeded $1.3 million. Net earnings for the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 have surpassed $3.3 million, making the first nine months
of fiscal 1997 more profitable than the entire fiscal year 1996. Housing sales
revenues increased 53.3% and closings increased 17% compared to the
corresponding quarter of the previous year. These increases in key results are
the consequence of improvements in existing operations and are not the results
of newly acquired operations. While prior results should not be used to predict
future performance, this quarter represents a continuation of a trend of
improved performance from ongoing operations.

         FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY

Certain statements in the financial discussion and analysis by management
contain "forward-looking" information (as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involves risk and uncertainty, including
projections and assumptions regarding the business environment in which the
Company operates. Actual future results and trends may differ materially
depending on a variety of factors, including the Company's successful execution
of internal performance strategies; changes in general national and regional
economic conditions, such as levels of employment, consumer confidence and
income, availability to homebuilders of financing for acquisitions, development
and construction, availability of financing to homebuyers for permanent
mortgages, interest rate levels and the demand for housing; supply levels of
labor and materials; difficulties in obtaining permits or approvals from
governmental authorities; difficulties in marketing homes; regulatory and
weather and other environmental uncertainties; competitive influences; and the
outcome of pending and future legal claims and proceedings.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1996:

The Company increased net income by $390 thousand to $940 thousand for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to net income of $550 thousand for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996, an increase of 70.9 percent. The increase is a
result of increased closing volume and an increase in the average selling price
of homes closed.

Revenues from housing sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 53.3%
from the corresponding period of fiscal 1996 to $47.1 million from $30.8
million. Home closings for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 
17% to 276 from 236 homes during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
These amounts include closings of 7 homes in unconsolidated joint venture
operations during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 30 homes during
the third quarter of fiscal 1996. In addition to the increased closing activity,
the Company's average sales price per unit increased to $175,300 for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $149,300 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996, a
17.4% increase.

The Company's increased closings resulted in an increase in cost of home sales
for the three months ended November 30, 1996 to $41.4 million from $26.3 million
for the three months ended November 30, 1995. Despite the increased volume, 
the Company's gross profit margin on home and lot closings remained flat at 
14.9 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 15.0 
percent during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.


The increase in Company activity resulted in an increase in selling, general and
administrative expense of $1.6 million or 31.2% for the third quarter of fiscal
1997 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of housing
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 14.6% in


                                       10
<PAGE>   13
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 17.0% for the corresponding quarter
of fiscal 1996. This improvement is due to increased unit volume and the
Company's cost containment efforts.

Minority interest income was $15 thousand for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to an expense of $183 thousand for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
The change is due primarily to progress in completing consolidated joint venture
projects.

The Company's net orders (homes contracted for sale, less cancellations)
decreased by 7.6% to 244 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 264 for
the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company's backlog (homes under
contract but not closed) decreased by 23.9% to 418 homes at November 30, 1996
from 549 homes at November 30, 1995. The decreases in net orders and backlog
result from the Company's efforts to stabilize the number of homes under
construction. These efforts have had the effect of reducing the number of homes
released for sale during the third quarter of fiscal 1997. In dollar terms, the
decrease in backlog is expected to be considerably less than the decrease
stated in terms of the number of homes.

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1997 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL
1996:

The Company increased net income by $3.2 million to $3.3 million for the nine
months ended November 30, 1996, as compared to net income of $51 thousand for
the nine months ended November 30, 1995.

Revenues from housing sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased
by $64.5 million or 71.6% to $154.6 million from $90.1 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. Home closings for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 increased by 22% to 860 from 705 homes during the first nine months of
fiscal 1996. These amounts include closings of 28 homes in unconsolidated joint
ventures for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to 62 homes closed
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. In addition to the increased closing
activity, the Company's average sales price per home closing increased to
$185,800 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 from $140,100 for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996, a 32.6% increase.

The Company's increased closings resulted in an increase in cost of sales for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to $130.6 million from $75.9 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The Company's increased average sales
price contributed to a 1.9% increase in gross profit margin on homes and lots to
16.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, from 16.1% for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.9 million or 39.6% for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997, as compared to the first nine months of
fiscal 1996. As a percentage of housing revenue, selling, general and
administrative expense improved to 15.7% for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 from 19.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. This improvement is
due to increased unit volume and the Company's cost containment efforts.

Minority interest income was $149 thousand for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 compared to an expense of $307 thousand for the first nine months of fiscal
1996. The change is the result of


                                       11
<PAGE>   14
the Company's progress towards completing consolidated joint venture projects.

The Company has recorded an income tax provision of $524 thousand for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 on pre-tax income of $3.9 million. The provision
reflects the net benefit from the usage of federal net operating loss carrybacks
which generated a federal income tax refund for prior periods of $845 thousand.
The Company also has available federal net operating loss carryforwards which
can be used to reduce current and future taxable income. The Company will
recognize any benefit from these carryforwards only at the time the
carryforwards are actually utilized.

Interest incurred was $16.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
compared to $13.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. Interest
included in cost of sales was $12.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 compared to $5.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

The Company's net orders (homes contracted for sale, less cancellations)
increased by 5.4% to 866 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, as compared
to 822 homes for the corresponding period of fiscal 1996.

The Company's unit/lot closings and revenues for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 are segregated by region as follows:

                   886         $168.4 million
</TABLE>

The unit/lot and revenue figures for California include 28 homes and $10.0
million in revenues on projects in unconsolidated joint ventures for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of November 30, 1996, the Company has in place three separate facilities (the
"Facilities") with its principal bank lender as follows:

         -  $25 million Non-Recourse Secured Acquisition and Development line of
            credit ("Non-Recourse A & D Line")

         -  $40 million Recourse Secured Production line of credit ("Recourse 
            Production Line")

         -  $25 million Non-Recourse Secured Production line of credit ("Non-
            Recourse Production Line")

In addition, the Company has in place lines of credit in Nevada and Texas, as
more fully described below.

A commitment fee is payable annually.  Availability of funds under


                                       12
<PAGE>   15
the Facilities are subject to certain bank and other requirements. At November
30, 1996, the Company had aggregate borrowings outstanding of $62.9 million
under the Facilities.

The Facilities are secured by liens on various completed or under construction
homes and lots held by the Company. Pursuant to the Facilities, the Company is
subject to certain covenants, which require, among other things, the maintenance
of a consolidated liabilities to consolidated net worth ratio, minimum
liquidity, minimum net worth and loss limitations, all as defined in the
documents that evidence the Facilities. At November 30, 1996, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants. The Facilities also define certain events that
constitute events of default. As of November 30, 1996, no such event of default
has occurred.

Durable and Clark Wilson also have secured non-recourse lines of credit to
facilitate construction activity. Durable's $15.0 million facility has a
maturity date of July 1, 1997. Clark Wilson has a non-recourse secured line of
credit for $15.0 million with a maturity date of June 30, 1997. Clark Wilson has
an additional $17.8 million in non-recourse secured lines of credit with banks
having terms with maturity dates ranging from May 31, 1997 through July 19,
1998.

For the nine months ended November 30, 1996, the Company closed the sale of 860
homes and 26 land lots. This amount includes 28 homes closed in unconsolidated
joint ventures. At November 30, 1996, the Company had in excess of 500 homes
under construction.

Construction activity is being financed out of Company cash, bank financing and
the existing joint ventures, including joint ventures with investment advisors
to the State of California Public Employees Retirement System ("CalPERS"). The
Company anticipates that it will continue to utilize both bank financing and
joint ventures to cover liquidity needs in excess of Company cash.

The Company expects that cash flow generated from operations and from additional
financing permitted by the terms of the Indenture will be sufficient to cover
the debt service on the Offering, the Facilities and the Company's other bank
lines and to fund the Company's current development and construction activities
for the reasonably foreseeable future.

                               BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7.4 million at November 30, 1996 from
$13.8 million at February 29, 1996 due to a reduction of trade accounts payable.
The Company anticipates that the level of cash and financing available is
sufficient to meet its needs in the near term.

Residential inventories increased from $227.0 million at February 29, 1996 to
$242.6 million at November 30, 1996. The increase is due to the progress made on
the over 500 residential homes under construction.


                                       13
<PAGE>   16
Notes payable have increased from $63.9 million at February 29, 1996 to $80.2
million at November 30, 1996, due principally to increased construction
activity. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have decreased to $22.0
million at November 30, 1996 from $36.3 million at February 29, 1996.
