                    ENGLE HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS:

     These statements do not contain all information required by generally
accepted accounting principles that are included in a full set of financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Engle Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the
Company") at January 31, 1997 and results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period then ended and period ended January 31, 1996.  These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended October 31, 1996.  Results of operations for this period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.  Such computations are further adjusted for fully
diluted purposes by assuming conversion of the $30,000,000 7% Convertible
Subordinated Notes (the "Convertible Subordinated Notes") and elimination of
related interest incurred during the period, resulting in an increase in net
income after taxes of $262,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1997.

     Engle Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries is engaged principally in construction
and sale of residential homes and land development in Florida; Dallas, Texas;
Denver, Colorado; Raleigh, North Carolina; Virginia and Maryland.  Ancillary
products and services to its residential home building include land sales to
other builders, operation of commercial properties, origination and sale of
mortgage loans, and title transfer services.  The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries.  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.

Backlog

     Sales of the Company's homes are generally made pursuant to a standard
contract which requires a down payment of up to 10% of the sales price.  The
contract includes a financing contingency which permits the customer to cancel
in the event mortgage financing at prevailing interest rates (including
financing arranged by the Company) is unobtainable within a specified period,
typically four to six weeks.  The Company includes an undelivered home sale in
its backlog upon execution of the sales contracts and receipt of the down
payment.  Revenue is recognized only upon the closing and delivery of a home.
The Company estimates that the average period between the execution of a
purchase agreement for a home and delivery is approximately six months.  The
following table sets forth the Company's backlog for the periods indicated:

                                        8

     The decrease in unit backlog at January 31, 1997 was due in part to a 4%
decline in new home sales contracts activity during the three months ended
Janauary 31, 1997 to $66.3 million versus $68.7 million in the prior year
quarter.  Although most markets increased contract activity during the
quarter, the decline in the Orlando division was primarily due to the mix of
projects currently available for sale and is not a reflection of any change 
of the Orlando market.                                   

Result of Operations:

Three Months Ended January 31, 1997 compared to January 31, 1996.

    The Company's revenues from home sales for the quarter ended
January 31,1997 increased $43.0 million (or 79.8%) compared to the same period
in fiscal 1996. The number of homes delivered increased 70.6% (to 488 from 286)
and the average selling price of homes delivered increased 5.3% (to $199,000
from $189,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to the record backlog of homes under contract during fiscal 1996.
Management believes that changes in the average selling price of homes
delivered from period to period are attributable to discrete factors at each
of its subdivisions, including product mix and premium lot availability, and
cannot be predicted for future periods with any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales decreased approximately $3.5
million during the three months ended January 31, 1997, as compared to the
same period in fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of a decrease in commercial
and multi-family land sales at Pembroke Falls, a master-planned community in
South Florida.

     Cost of home sales increased $36.3 million (or 78.2%) compared to the
quarter ended January 31, 1996 primarily due to the related increase in home
sale revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 
85.5% from 86.2% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.
 
     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased $2.7 million (or 40.8%) during the three months ended
July 31, 1997, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1996 period, primarily
due to selling and marketing expenses associated with the increased number of
homes delivered during the period and an increase in selling expenditures
related to an increase in the number of residential subdivisions.  S,G&A
expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 9.5% from 11.2% for the
comparable quarter ending January 31, 1996, primarily due to economies of scale.
   
     Primarily as a result of an increase in home sales revenues, net income
increased by $2.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 1997 from the
comparable period in fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's financing needs depend upon its construction volume, asset
turnover and land acquisitions.  The Company has financed and expects to
continue to finance, its working capital needs through funds generated by 
operations and borrowings.  Funds for future land acquisitions and construction
costs are expected to be provided primarily by cash flows from operations and
future borrowing as permitted under the Company"s loan agreements.  At January
31, 1997, the Company had outstanding bank borrowings of $84.9 million under
its various revolving lines of credit, and had available additional borrowings
of $15.5 million.  The Company believes that amounts generated from operations
and such additional borrowings will provide adequate funds to finance its
homebuilding activities and meet its debt service requirements.
     


                                        9

     On August 29, 1996, the Company entered into two separate secured 
revolving credit facilities of $75 million and $48 million. NationsBank,
N.A. (South) as agent, and Guaranty Federal Bank F.S.B., as participant, 
provided the Company with a $75 million secured revolving credit agreement for
acquisition, development and construction financing, maturing August 26, 1999,
for properties in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Virginia and Maryland.  In addition,
the Company entered into a $48 million secured revolving credit agreement
maturing April 15,1999 with SunTrust, South Florida, N.A.  The facility
provides for acquisition, development and construction financing for the 
Company's Florida projects.
  
     Preferred Home Mortgage Company ("PHMC") has a warehouse line of credit in
the amount of $18.0 million which is guaranteed by the Company.  At January 31,
1997, PHMC had outstanding borrowings of $10.3 million pursuant to such credit
line to service origination of mortgage loans.  The Company believes that such
credit line is sufficient to meet the current needs of its mortgage company.

     Land Acquisition and Construction Financing.  The Company is continually
exploring opportunities to purchase parcels of land for its homebuilding 
operations and is, at any given time, in various stages of proposing, making
offers for, and negotiating the acquisition of various parcels, whether outright
or through options.  
                                        
     The Company has increased its land development activities due to Pembroke
Falls and anticipated demand.  The Company expects to pursue additional land 
acquisition and development opportunities in the future.  However, the Company's
ability to undertake significant additional  projects is expected to depend in
part upon the availability of financing on satisfactory terms.  To date,
the Company has not had any significant difficulties in securing acquisition,
development and construction financing and, except with respect to major land
acquisitions, management believes that such financing will continue to be
available on satisfactory terms.  However, there can be no assurance that
sufficient financing on satisfactory terms will continue to be available.  In
addition, the closing of $17.3 million land sale contracts at Pembroke Falls
will further the Company's ability to acquire additional projects.
