ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Presley Companies ("Presley" or the "Company") is primarily engaged in
designing, constructing and selling single family detached and attached homes in
California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. Since its founding in 1956, Presley
has sold over 40,000 homes. The Company believes that it was one of the largest
homebuilders in California in terms of both sales and homes delivered in 1996.
Approximately 70% of the Company's home closings were derived from its
California operations. In 1996, the Company had consolidated revenues of $319.0
million and delivered 1,838 homes. Beginning in early 1996, the Company's
homebuilding operations are conducted under the name Presley Homes.
 
     The Company designs, constructs and sells a wide range of homes designed to
meet the specific needs of each of its markets, although it primarily emphasizes
sales to the entry-level and move-up home buyer markets. The Company currently
markets its homes through 22 sales locations in its eight master-planned
communities and 24 sales locations at its other projects. In 1996, the average
sales price for homes delivered was $173,000, with homes priced from $86,000 to
$453,000.
 
     The Company currently owns approximately 5,554 lots and controls an
additional 460 lots on which to construct homes. Substantially all lots are
entitled and approximately 57% are located in the Company's eight master-planned
communities. Prior to 1994, the Company had focused on the development of
master-planned communities as a source of supply of developed lots for its
homebuilding operations. As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, "entitled"
land has a Development Agreement and/or Vesting Tentative Map, or a final
recorded plat or map from the appropriate county or city government. Development
Agreements and Vesting Tentative Maps generally provide for the right to develop
the land in accordance with the provisions of the Development Agreement or
Vesting Tentative Map unless an issue arises concerning health, safety or
general welfare. Development of master-planned communities, which generally
takes five to fifteen years from the date of initial land acquisition to
completion, includes selecting sites and acquiring large parcels of undeveloped
land, obtaining all necessary government approvals to build, and developing
land, infrastructure and finished lots. The Company estimates that its current
inventory of land is adequate to supply its homebuilding operations at current
operating levels for approximately two years.
 
     Beginning in 1994, the Company's land acquisition strategy, to the extent
permitted by the Company's financing arrangements, has been to undertake
projects with shorter life-cycles in order to reduce development and market risk
while maintaining an inventory of lots sufficient for construction of homes over
a two or three year period. As part of this strategy, the Company's current
plans are to: (i) acquire and develop parcels of land with up to approximately
300 lots, (ii) expand its homebuilding operations in the Southwest, particularly
in Phoenix, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico where the Company has had, at
various times, a significant market presence, and in Nevada, where the Company
entered the market in 1995 and (iii) continue to evaluate opportunities in land
development and master-planned communities with the intention that any such
projects would be funded in significant part by sources other than the Company.
 
     The Company will continue to utilize its current inventory of lots and
future land acquisitions to conduct its operating strategy which consists of:
(i) offering a diverse product line at a variety of prices to suit a wide range
of consumer tastes, (ii) limiting completed housing inventory exposure, (iii)
emphasizing well-designed cost-effective products, (iv) utilizing market
research to allow for a quick response to local market conditions, (v)
maintaining budget and control systems to facilitate effective cost controls and
(vi) using extensive marketing and sales efforts.
 
     The Company had total revenues from operations of $319.0 million, $285.5
million and $270.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Homes closed by the Company were 1,838, 1,425 and 1,442 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
     Presley's operations are dependent to a significant extent on debt
financing. The Company's principal credit sources are 12 1/2% Senior Notes, a
Working Capital Facility and various Joint Venture Facilities. The Company filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1
for the
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   4
 
sale of $200.0 million of 12 1/2% Senior Notes which became effective on June
23, 1994. The offering closed on June 29, 1994 and was fully subscribed and
issued. The Working Capital Facility is a revolving line of credit facility with
a maximum commitment of $72.0 million. The Working Capital Facility is secured
by substantially all of the Company's assets. At December 31, 1996, the
outstanding principal amount under the Working Capital Facility was $12.0
million. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Financial Condition and Liquidity" and Notes 2 and 5 of
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
 
     The Company's principal executive offices are located at 19 Corporate
Plaza, Newport Beach, California 92660 and its telephone number is (714)
640-6400. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 7,
1991.
 
THE COMPANY'S MARKETS
 
     The Company is currently operating through five geographic regions: the
Southern California Region, the Northern California Region, the New Mexico
Region, the Arizona Region and the Nevada Region. Larger regions have area
offices which allow for closer management of a diverse geographical market
within a region. Each of the regions/areas has responsibility for the Company's
homebuilding and development operations as well as new land acquisitions within
the geographic boundaries of the region/area.
 
     The following table sets forth sales from real estate operations
attributable to each of Presley's homebuilding regions during the preceding
three fiscal years:

HOMEBUILDING
 
     The Company currently has a wide variety of product lines which enables it
to meet the specific needs of each of its markets. The Company's products
include entry-level, move-up and luxury homes and lots for custom homes,
although it primarily emphasizes sales to the entry-level and move-up home
markets. The Company believes that this diversified product strategy enables it
to mitigate some of the risks inherent in the homebuilding industry and to meet
a variety of market conditions. In order to reduce exposure to local market
conditions, the Company's sales locations are geographically dispersed. The
Company currently has 46 sales locations, including 22 in its master-planned
communities and 24 at its other projects.
 
     Because the decision as to which product to develop is based on the
Company's assessment of market conditions and the restrictions imposed by
government regulations, homestyles and sizes vary from project to project. The
Company's attached housing ranges in size from 761 to 1,634 square feet, and the
Company's detached housing ranges from 814 to 3,924 square feet.
 
     Due to Presley's product and geographic diversification strategy, the
prices of Presley's homes also vary substantially. Prices for Presley's attached
housing range from approximately $93,000 to $209,000 and prices for detached
housing range from approximately $86,000 to $453,000. The average sales price of
Presley's homes for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $173,000.
 
     The Company generally standardizes and limits the number of home designs
within any given product line. This standardization permits on-site mass
production techniques and bulk purchasing of materials and components, thus
enabling the Company to better control and sometimes reduce construction costs.
 
     Presley contracts with a number of architects and other consultants who are
involved in the design process of Presley homes. Designs are constrained by
zoning requirements, building codes, energy efficiency laws and local
architectural guidelines, among other factors. Engineering, landscaping,
master-planning and environmental impact analysis work are subcontracted to
independent firms which are familiar with local requirements.
 
     Substantially all construction work is done by subcontractors with Presley
acting as the general contractor. The Company manages subcontractor activities
with on-site supervisory employees and management control systems. The Company
does not have long-term contractual commitments with its subcontractors or
suppliers. However, the Company generally has been able to obtain sufficient
materials and subcontractors during times of material shortages. The Company
believes its relationships with its suppliers and subcontractors are good.
 
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1996 approximately 60% of the homes
closed by the Company were in the Company's eight master-planned communities.
Presley's master-planned communities usually involve the development of hundreds
of acres of raw land into a large community providing homeowners with the
opportunity for employment, recreation, shopping and education within the
community or in close proximity to it. The homes within these communities
include a wide variety of detached and attached entry-level, move-up and luxury
homes, and may also contain apartments. Within these communities Presley also
may sell individual lots for custom homes, multiple lots for construction of
homes by other builders and parcels for commercial, industrial and apartment
development. These communities typically offer a variety of recreational
amenities which may include golf courses, equestrian centers, tennis courts and
swimming pools, among others.
 
     The Company's master-planned communities normally take five to fifteen
years to complete depending on the project's size, economic conditions
prevailing at the time, geological conditions at the site and the Company's
strategy for the particular project. Presley's other homebuilding projects
usually take two to five years to develop. Substantially all of the Company's
master-planned communities are in the later stages of land development.

    change, and there can be no assurance that the Company will build these
    homes.
 
(2) Backlog consists of homes sold under sales contracts that have not yet
    closed, and there can be no assurance that closings of sold homes will
    occur.
 
(3) Sales price range reflects base price only and excludes any lot premium,
    buyer incentive and buyer selected options, which vary from project to
    project.
 
(4) Of the total homes subject to pending sales contracts as of December 31,
    1996, 252 represent homes completed or under construction and 30 represent
    homes not yet under construction.
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
     The management team responsible for a specific project develops marketing
objectives, formulates pricing and sales strategies and develops advertising and
public relations programs for approval of senior management. The Company makes
extensive use of advertising and other promotional activities, including
newspaper advertisements, brochures, television and radio commercials, direct
mail and the placement of
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   9
 
strategically located sign boards in the immediate areas of its developments. In
general, the Company's advertising emphasizes Presley's strengths with respect
to the quality and value of its products.
 
     The Company normally builds, decorates, furnishes and landscapes three to
five model homes for each product line and maintains on-site sales offices,
which typically are open seven days a week. Management believes that model homes
play a particularly important role in the Company's marketing efforts.
Consequently, the Company expends a significant amount of effort in creating an
attractive atmosphere at its model homes. Interior decorations vary among the
Company's models and are carefully selected based upon the lifestyles of
targeted buyers. Structural changes in design from the model homes are not
generally permitted, but home buyers may select various other optional
construction and design amenities.
 
     Presley employs in-house commissioned sales personnel and, on a limited
basis, outside brokers in the selling of its homes. Presley typically engages
its sales personnel on a long-term, rather than a project-by-project basis,
which it believes results in a more motivated sales force with an extensive
knowledge of the Company's operating policies and products. Sales personnel are
trained by the Company and attend weekly meetings to be updated on the
availability of financing, construction schedules and marketing and advertising
plans.
 
     The Company strives to provide a high level of customer service during the
sales process and after a home is sold. The participation of the sales
representatives, on-site construction supervisors and the post-closing customer
service personnel, working in a team effort, is intended to foster the Company's
reputation for quality and service, and ultimately lead to enhanced customer
retention and referrals.
 
     In the past, and more so during the recent California recession, Presley
has used a variety of incentives in order to attract buyers. Sales incentives
may include upgrades in interior design features such as carpet or fixtures, or
added amenities such as a fireplace or an outdoor deck. The use of incentives
depends largely on prevailing economic conditions and the Company's success in
marketing its products.
 
     The Company's homes are typically sold before or during construction
through sales contracts which are usually accompanied by a small cash deposit.
Such sales contracts are usually subject to certain contingencies such as the
buyer's ability to qualify for financing. The cancellation rate of buyers who
contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow at Presley's projects was
approximately 22% during 1996. The Company believes its cancellation rate
compares favorably to that of its competitors.
 
     The Company generally provides a one-year limited warranty of workmanship
and materials with each of its homes. From January 1, 1992 through March 31,
1995, the Company provided a five-year limited warranty for certain homes in the
Company's Southern California Region. This five-year warranty exceeded the
warranty offered by competitors and served as a marketing tool for the Company.
The Company normally reserves one percent of the sales price of its homes
against the possibility of future charges relating to its one-year limited
warranty and similar potential claims. The Company's historical experience is
that one-year warranty claims generally fall within the one percent reserve. In
addition, California law provides that consumers can seek redress for patent
defects in new homes within four years from when the defect is discovered, or
should have been discovered, provided that if the defect is latent there is an
outside limit for seeking redress which is ten years from the completion of
construction. In addition, because the Company generally subcontracts its
homebuilding work to qualified subcontractors who generally provide the Company
with an indemnity and a certificate of insurance prior to receiving payment from
the Company for their work, the Company generally has recourse against the
subcontractors or their insurance carriers for claims relating to the
subcontractors' workmanship or materials.
 
CUSTOMER FINANCING -- PRESLEY MORTGAGE COMPANY
 
     The Company seeks to assist its home buyers in obtaining financing by
arranging with mortgage lenders to offer qualified buyers a variety of financing
options. Substantially all home buyers utilize long-term mortgage financing to
purchase a home and mortgage lenders will usually make loans only to qualified
borrowers. The Company attempts to minimize potential risks relating to customer
financing by acquiring mortgage financing commitments that lock in the
availability of funds and interest costs at specified levels.

     Presley Mortgage Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, began operations
effective December 1, 1994 and is in operation to service all of the Company's
operating regions. The mortgage company operates as a mortgage broker/loan
correspondent and originates conventional, FHA and VA loans.
 
SALE OF LOTS AND LAND
 
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company continually evaluates land
sales and has sold, and expects that it will continue to sell, land as market
and business conditions warrant. Presley also sells both multiple lots to other
builders (bulk sales) and improved individual lots for the construction of
custom homes where the presence of such homes adds to the quality of the
community. In addition, the Company may acquire sites with commercial,
industrial and multi-family parcels which will generally be sold to third-party
developers.
 
INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS
 
     The Company assigns a high priority to the development and maintenance of
its budget and cost control systems and procedures. The Company's regional and
area offices are connected to corporate headquarters through a fully integrated
accounting, financial and operational management information system. Through
this system, management regularly evaluates the status of its projects in
relation to budgets to determine the cause of any variances and, where
appropriate, adjusts its operations to capitalize on favorable variances or to
limit adverse financial impacts.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The homebuilding industry is highly competitive, particularly in the low
and medium-price range where the Company currently concentrates its activities.
Although Presley is one of California's largest homebuilders, the Company does
not believe it has a significant market position in any geographic area which it
serves due to the fragmented nature of the market. Due in significant part to
the recent recession and its effect on the housing market, the Company has,
since 1990, had to reduce its sales prices and offer greater incentives to
buyers in order to effectively compete for sales in several of its markets. A
number of Presley's competitors have larger staffs, larger marketing
organizations, and substantially greater financial resources than those of
Presley. However, the Company believes that it competes effectively in its
existing markets as a result of its product and geographic diversity,
substantial development expertise, and its reputation as a low-cost producer of
quality homes. Further, the Company sometimes gains a competitive advantage in
locations where changing regulations make it difficult for competitors to obtain
entitlements and/or government approvals which the Company has already obtained.
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     The Company and its competitors are subject to various local, state and
Federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building
design, construction and similar matters, including local regulation which
imposes restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number
of homes that can ultimately be built within the boundaries of a particular
project. The Company and its competitors may also be subject to periodic delays
or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to
building moratoriums or "slow-growth" or "no-growth" initiatives that could be
implemented in the future in the states in which it operates. Because the
Company usually purchases land with entitlements, the Company believes that the
moratoriums would adversely affect the Company only if they arose from
unforeseen health, safety and welfare issues such as insufficient water or
sewage facilities. Local and state governments also have broad discretion
regarding the imposition of development fees for projects in their jurisdiction.
However, these are normally locked-in when the Company receives entitlements.
 
     The Company and its competitors are also subject to a variety of local,
state and Federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning
protection of health and the environment. The particular environmental laws
which apply to any given community vary greatly according to the community site,
the site's environmental conditions and the present and former uses of the site.
These environmental laws may result in delays, may cause the Company and its
competitors to incur substantial compliance and other costs,
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
and may prohibit or severely restrict development in certain environmentally
sensitive regions or areas. The Company's projects in California are especially
susceptible to restrictive government regulations and environmental laws.
However, environmental laws have not, to date, had a material adverse impact on
the Company's operations.
 
CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL
 
     Each of the Company's operating areas has responsibility for the Company's
homebuilding and development operations within the geographical boundaries of
that area. Larger regions have area offices, which allow for closer management
of a diverse geographical market within a region.
 
     The Company's eleven executive officers at the corporate and operating
levels average more than 20 years of experience in the homebuilding and
development industries within California and the Southwest. The Company combines
decentralized management in those aspects of its business where detailed
knowledge of local market conditions is important (such as governmental
processing, construction, land development and sales and marketing), with
centralized management in those functions where the Company believes central
control is required (such as financial, personnel and legal matters). Land
acquisition and certain other strategic decisions combine centralized
management, for financial and strategic control, with decentralized management,
for identification of opportunistic purchases and in-depth knowledge of local
market conditions.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, Presley's real estate development and homebuilding
operations employed approximately 366 full-time and 73 part-time employees,
including corporate staff, supervisory personnel of construction projects,
maintenance crews to service completed projects, as well as persons engaged in
administrative, finance and accounting, engineering, land acquisition, sales and
marketing activities.
 
     Presley believes that its relations with its employees have been good. Some
employees of the subcontractors which Presley utilizes are unionized, but
virtually none of Presley's employees are union members. Although there have
been temporary work stoppages in the building trades in Presley's areas of
operation, to date none has had any material impact upon Presley's overall
operations.
 
ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
 
  Headquarters
 
     Presley owns a 15,800 square foot building on leased land in Newport Beach,
California which it uses for its corporate headquarters. The Company leases or
owns properties for its area offices, but none of these properties is material
to the operation of Presley's business.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, most of which relate
to routine litigation and some of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion
of the Company's management, none of the uninsured claims involve realistic
claims which are material and unreserved or will have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of the Company.
 
ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     No matters were submitted to the Company's stockholders during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

Stock as reported on the NYSE was $1 1/8.
 
     As of March 6, 1997, there were 381 holders of record of the Company's

     The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock during the
last two fiscal years and expects that for the foreseeable future it will follow
a policy of retaining earnings in order to help finance its business. Payment of
dividends is within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will
depend upon the earnings, capital requirements, general economic conditions and
operating and financial condition of the Company, among other factors. In
addition, the effect of the Company's principal financing agreements currently
prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Financial
Condition and Liquidity" and Notes 2 and 5 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements."

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The following selected consolidated financial data of the Company have been
derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and other
available information. The summary should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto appearing elsewhere
herein.
 
     As described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and in Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements," the consolidated financial statements for 1994, 1995 and
1996 have been prepared after giving retroactive effect as of January 1, 1994 to
a capital restructuring and quasi-reorganization. The restructuring and
quasi-reorganization resulted in a reduction of the book value of the Company's
real estate assets and liabilities as of January 1, 1994, and as a result, cost
of sales and interest expense are lower in 1994, 1995 and 1996 than they would
have been otherwise, affecting comparability of 1994, 1995 and 1996 results to
1993 and prior years.

(1) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing income as
    adjusted by fixed charges. For this purpose, "income as adjusted" means
    income (loss) before (i) minority partners' interest in consolidated income
    (loss) and (ii) income taxes, plus (i) interest expense and (ii)
    amortization of capitalized interest included in cost of sales. For this
    purpose "fixed charges" means (i) interest expense and (ii) interest
    capitalized during the period.
 
(2) Earnings were not adequate to cover fixed charges by $21.1 million, $67.1
    million, $13.9 million, $65.6 million, and $29.7 million for the years ended
    December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. These deficits,
    as well as the operating income (loss), include the effect of an impairment
    loss on real estate assets of $16.8 million in 1995 and reductions of real
    estate assets to estimated net realizable value of $9.4 million, $46.6
    million, and $26.0 million in 1995, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition
should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     OVERVIEW AND RECENT RESULTS.  The Company's performance for the three years
ended December 31, 1996 reflects the severe economic conditions encountered by
the homebuilding industry in the Company's primary homebuilding markets in
California. The declining economic conditions began to affect the Company's
primary homebuilding markets during the fourth quarter of 1989 and continued off
and on through the mid-1990's.
 
     Homes sold, closed and in backlog as of and for the periods presented are
as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     Homes in backlog are generally closed within three to six months. The
dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed as of December 31, 1996
was $52.7 million as compared to $51.3 million as of December 31, 1995 and $91.5
million as of September 30, 1996. The cancellation rate of buyers who contracted
to buy a home but did not close escrow at the Company's projects was
approximately 22% during 1996.
 
     The number of homes closed in the fourth quarter of 1996 was up 26 percent
to 512 from 405 in the fourth quarter of 1995. Net new home orders for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 decreased 21 percent to 306 units from 389 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1995. For the fourth quarter of 1996, net new
orders decreased 29 percent to 306 from 429 units in the third quarter of 1996.
The backlog of homes sold as of December 31, 1996 was 282, down 11 percent from
316 units as of December 31, 1995, and down 42 percent from 488 units at
September 30, 1996. The Company's inventory of completed and unsold homes as of
December 31, 1996 increased to 122 units from 110 units as of December 31, 1995.
 
     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," ("Statement No. 121") which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on assets to be held and used by the Company
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets (excluding interest) are less than the
carrying amount of the assets. Statement No. 121 also requires that long-lived
assets that are held for disposal be reported at the lower of the assets'
carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposal. Under the new
pronouncement, when an impairment loss is required for assets to be held and
used by the Company, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair
value. This was a significant change from the previous accounting standard that
required homebuilders to carry real estate assets at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. Although Statement No. 121 was effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, the Company elected, as encouraged by the new
pronouncement, to adopt its provisions in 1995. Accordingly, the net loss for
the year ended December 31, 1995 included a non-cash charge of $16,118,000 to
record impairment losses on certain of the Company's real estate assets. The new
accounting standard could result in material additional adjustments to the
Company's real estate assets in the future, and materially different results in
the timing and amount of adjustments than would have been the case under the
previous standards.
 
                                       12

     The Company periodically evaluates its real estate assets to determine
whether such assets have been impaired and therefore would be required to be
adjusted to fair value. Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could
be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The estimation process involved in
determining if assets have been impaired and in the determination of fair value
is inherently uncertain since it requires estimates of current market yields as
well as future events and conditions. Such future events and conditions include
economic and market conditions, as well as the availability of suitable
financing to fund development and construction activities. The realization of
the Company's real estate projects is dependent upon future uncertain events and
conditions and, accordingly, the actual timing and amounts realized by the
Company may be materially different from the estimated fair values as described
herein.
 
     Two of the Company's older master planned communities (Sun Lakes Country
Club and Horsethief Canyon Ranch) are currently realizing substantial operating
losses as a result of declines in the sales value of the homes in those projects
in recent years. As a result of those declines, the Company's future results are
likely to continue to be adversely impacted.
 
     Prior to October 1, 1995, the Company evaluated its real estate inventories
to determine if such assets were stated at the lower of cost or estimated net
realizable value, as required by the then applicable accounting pronouncements.
The evaluations considered the depressed nature of the real estate business in
the Company's principal markets, the reduced demand from prospective homebuyers,
decreased sales prices, increased sales incentives, future costs of development
and holding costs during development. Based on these evaluations, reductions of
certain real estate assets to estimated net realizable value amounting to
$9,400,000 were recorded during 1995.
 
     This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not attempt to discuss or describe all
of the factors that influence or impact the evaluation of an impairment of or
the net realizable value of the Company's real estate assets.
 
     Interest incurred during the period in which real estate projects are not
under development or during the period subsequent to the completion of product
available for sale is expensed in the period incurred. Economic conditions in
the real estate industry can cause a delay in the development of certain real
estate projects and, as a result, can lengthen the periods when such projects
are not under development and, accordingly, have a significant impact on
profitability as a result of expensed interest. Interest expense during 1996,
1995, and 1994 was approximately $2,256,000, $2,226,000, and $6,961,000,
respectively.
 
     In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest
and housing costs. Interest rates, the length of time that assets remain in
inventory, and the proportion of inventory that is financed affect the Company's
interest cost. If the Company is unable to raise sales prices sufficiently to
compensate for higher costs, which has generally been the case recently, or if
mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting prospective buyers'
ability to adequately finance home purchases, the Company's sales, gross margins
and net results may be adversely impacted. To a limited extent, the Company
hedges against increases in interest costs by acquiring interest rate protection
that locks in or caps interest rates for limited periods of time for mortgage
financing for prospective homebuyers.
 
     COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995.  Sales (which
represent recorded revenues from closings) for the year ended December 31, 1996
were $319.0 million, an increase of $33.5 million (11.7%), from sales of $285.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Revenue from sales of homes
increased $86.2 million to $317.4 million in 1996 from $231.2 million in 1995.
This increase was due primarily to an increase in the number of homes closed to
1,838 in 1996 from 1,425 in 1995 and an increase in the average sales prices of
homes to $173,000 in 1996 from $162,000 in 1995. Revenue from lots, land and
other decreased $52.7 million to $1.6 million in 1996 from $54.3 million in
1995.
 
     Total operating income (loss) changed from a loss of $41.3 million in 1995
to income of $0.2 million in 1996. The excess of revenue from sales of homes
over the related cost of sales increased by $17.0 million, to $37.4 million in
1996 from $20.4 million in 1995 primarily due to increased sales prices and an
increase in the number of homes closed as described above and decreases in buyer
incentives. The excess of revenue from
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   16
 
sales of lots, land and other over the related cost of sales changed by $1.0
million to a loss of $0.4 million in 1996 from a loss of $1.4 million in 1995.
Impairment losses on real estate assets amounting to $16.8 million were recorded
in 1995 as compared to none in 1996. Reductions of real estate assets to
estimated net realizable value amounting to $9.4 million were recorded in 1995
as compared to none in 1996. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.5
million to $22.9 million in 1996 from $21.4 million in 1995 primarily as a
result of increased closing costs (directly related to revenue from increased
closings) in 1996 compared to 1995. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1.3 million to $14.0 million in 1996 from $12.7 million in 1995,
primarily as a result of increased overhead from start-up operations in Arizona
and Nevada. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was
4.4% in both 1996 and 1995.
 
     Total interest incurred during 1996 decreased $2.6 million (7.6%) from 1995
as a result of lower debt balances in 1996. Net interest expense increased
slightly to $2.3 million in 1996 from $2.2 million for 1995.
 
     Other (income) expense, net increased $0.3 million to a net income of $2.2
million in 1996 from a net income of $1.9 million in 1995 primarily as a result
of (i) increased income from recreational facilities and (ii) increased income
from mortgage and design center operations.
 
     COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994.  Sales (which
represent recorded revenues from closings) for the year ended December 31, 1995
were $285.5 million, an increase of $15.3 million (5.7%), from sales of $270.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Revenue from sales of homes
decreased $31.7 million to $231.2 million in 1995 from $262.9 million in 1994.
This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the number of homes closed to
1,425 in 1995 from 1,442 in 1994 and a decrease in the average sales prices of
homes to $162,000 in 1995 from $182,000 in 1994 which resulted primarily from
reduced sales prices, increased buyer incentives and a change in the mix of
product. Revenue from lots, land and other increased $47.0 million to $54.3
million in 1995 from $7.3 million in 1994, primarily as a result of the
Company's progress in implementing its strategy of becoming primarily a merchant
homebuilder rather than being primarily a developer of master-planned
communities which can take many years to develop. Consistent with this strategy,
during 1995 the Company sold lots and land which in most cases would not have
been used by the Company for homebuilding for several years. The proceeds of
these sales are being used to improve liquidity as well as being redeployed into
acquisitions of lots which can be used in the near term by the Company for
homebuilding.
 
     Total operating income (loss) decreased from income of $14.3 million in
1994 to a loss of $41.3 million in 1995. The excess of revenue from sales of
homes over the related cost of sales decreased by $24.8 million, to $20.4
million in 1995 from $45.2 million in 1994. These decreases were primarily due
to decreased sales prices and a decrease in the number of homes closed as
described above and increases in costs such as interest and development. The
excess of revenue from sales of lots, land and other over the related cost of
sales decreased by $1.8 million to a loss of $1.4 million in 1995 from income of
$0.4 million in 1994. Impairment losses on real estate assets amounting to $16.8
million were recorded in 1995 as compared to none in 1994. Reductions of real
estate assets to estimated net realizable value amounting to $9.4 million were
recorded in 1995 compared to none in 1994. Sales and marketing expenses
increased by $2.4 million (12.6%) to $21.4 million in 1995 from $19.0 million in
1994 primarily as a result of increased advertising and other selling expenses
in 1995 compared to 1994. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4
million (3.3%) to $12.7 million in 1995 from $12.3 million in 1994, primarily as
the result of additional staffing in expanding operating units in Arizona and
Nevada. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales
to 4.4% in 1995 from 4.6% in 1994.
 
     Total interest incurred during 1995 increased $2.0 million (6.2%) from 1994
as a result of increased interest rates in 1995. Net interest expense decreased
to $2.2 million in 1995 from $7.0 million for 1994. This decrease was due
primarily to an increase in development activities in 1995 compared to 1994,
resulting in increased interest capitalization offset by increased interest
rates.
 
     Other (income) expense, net decreased $0.6 million to a net income of $1.9
million in 1995 from a net income of $2.5 million in 1994 primarily as a result
of (i) decreased interest income due in part to lower cash balances in 1995
compared to 1994, (ii) a decrease in management fee income, offset by (iii)
increased income from mortgage operations.

                       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
 
     The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements from internally
generated funds from the sales of real estate and from outside borrowings. The
Company currently maintains the following major credit facilities: 12 1/2%
Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes"), a secured revolving lending facility (the
"Working Capital Facility"), a revolving line of credit relating to Horsethief
Canyon Partners, its wholly-owned joint venture partnership, a revolving line of
credit relating to Carmel Mountain Ranch, its wholly-owned joint venture
partnership (the latter two facilities collectively the "Joint Venture
Facilities"), and a revolving line of credit relating to construction on certain
real property located in Arizona and New Mexico (the "Other Facility") which are
summarized below.
 
  Capital Restructuring and Quasi-Reorganization
 
     On March 28, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors approved a Plan for
Capital Restructuring, which was approved by the Company's Stockholders at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 1994.
 
     In accordance with the Plan for Capital Restructuring, on March 29, 1994
the Company executed a definitive agreement with its lenders to restructure the
Company's $340,000,000 revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility"). The
Plan was approved at the Company's Annual Meeting held on May 20, 1994 and on
that date the lender group under the Company's Revolving Facility converted
$95,000,000 of outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility to equity through
the issuance of 43,166,667 shares of a new series of common stock representing
initially 70% of the outstanding shares of all series of common stock of the
Company. As provided in the agreement with its lenders, when the Company
completed its Senior Notes Offering of $200,000,000 on June 29, 1994, as
described below, the lending group returned to the Company a total of 8,809,524
shares of the new series of common stock, reducing their aggregate equity
interest in the Company to 65% from 70%. In order to implement the Plan for
Capital Restructuring, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to
redesignate existing common stock as Series A Common Stock (the "Series A
Common"), to establish a second series of common stock which was issued to the
lender group (the "Series B Common"), and to increase the number of directors of
the Company to nine, of which six are elected by holders of outstanding shares
of Series A Common, and the remaining three are elected by the holders of
outstanding shares of Series B Common.
 
     Concurrent with the conversion of debt to equity, under the Plan for
Capital Restructuring, the Revolving Facility was reduced by $95,000,000 to a
total of $245,000,000, comprised of a $150,000,000 term facility ("the Term
Facility") and a $95,000,000 working capital facility ("the Working Capital
Facility") (collectively, "the Debt Facilities"). In addition the lender group
increased the Working Capital Facility by $20,000,000 to a total of
$115,000,000. Revolving credit loans under the Working Capital Facility may be
borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time prior to the termination date
of the Working Capital Facility. The lender group had therefore provided Debt
Facilities totaling $265,000,000 to the Company.
 
     As described more fully below, the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the sale of
$200,000,000 of Senior Notes which became effective on June 23, 1994. The
offering closed on June 29, 1994 and was fully subscribed and issued. The Term
Facility was repaid in full and the Working Capital Facility was reduced by
$43,000,000 from a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior
Notes.
 
     The terms of the Working Capital Facility are described more fully below.
 
     The Series B Common ranks pari passu with the Series A Common in any
liquidation of the Company. The Company may not declare or pay any dividends on
the Series A Common unless equal dividends are declared and paid on the Series B
Common.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   18
 
     The Series B Common is convertible into Series A Common on a
share-for-share basis at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of any one
of the following: (1) after May 20, 1997; (2) if the holder sells the Series A
Common into which the Series B Common is being converted in a public
distribution or in open market sales under Rule 144, and the holder has made no
arrangement for the purchase of such shares by any purchaser; (3) certain sales
of Series A Common which result in a change of control; and (4) an event of
default under the Working Capital Facility shall occur and be continuing.
 
     As part of the Plan for Capital Restructuring, the Company's Board of
Directors also approved a Plan for Quasi-Reorganization retroactive to January
1, 1994. The Company implemented the quasi-reorganization at that time because
it was implementing a substantial change in its capital structure in accordance
with the Plan for Capital Restructuring. A quasi-reorganization allows certain
companies which are undergoing a substantial change in capital structure to
utilize "fresh start accounting."
 
     Under the Plan for Quasi-Reorganization, the Company implemented an overall
accounting readjustment effective January 1, 1994, which resulted in the
adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated fair values, and the
elimination of the accumulated deficit. The net amount of such revaluation
adjustments and costs related to the capital restructuring, together with the
accumulated deficit as of the date thereof, was transferred to paid-in capital
in accordance with the accounting principles applicable to
quasi-reorganizations.
 
     The estimation process involved in the determination of the fair value of
those assets as to which an adjustment was made is inherently uncertain since it
required estimates and assumptions as to future events and conditions. Such
future events and conditions include economic and market conditions, the
availability and cost of governmental entitlements necessary to develop and
build product, the cost of financing to fund development and construction
activities, and the availability and cost of labor and materials necessary to
develop, build and sell product.
 
     Because the amount and timing of the realization of the investments by the
Company and its subsidiaries in their respective real estate projects are
dependent upon such future uncertain events and conditions, the actual timing
and amounts may be materially different from the estimates and assumptions used
in determining fair value estimates utilized for purposes of the Plan for
Quasi-Reorganization.
 
     The quasi-reorganization affects the comparability of operating statements
for periods beginning after December 31, 1993 with those for periods beginning
on or before December 31, 1993. Moreover, any income tax benefits resulting from
the utilization of net operating loss and other carryforwards existing at
January 1, 1994 and temporary differences resulting from the
quasi-reorganization, are excluded from the results of operations and credited
to paid-in capital.
 
  Senior Notes
 
     The 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2001 were offered by The Presley Companies, a
Delaware corporation ("Delaware Presley" or the "Company"), and are
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Presley Homes (formerly The
Presley Companies), a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Delaware Presley ("California Presley"). However, California Presley has granted
liens on substantially all of its assets as security for its obligations under
the Working Capital Facility and other loans. Because the California Presley
guarantee is not secured, holders are effectively junior to borrowings under the
Working Capital Facility with respect to such assets. Delaware Presley and its
consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as "Presley" or
the "Company." Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1
of each year, commencing January 1, 1995.
 
     Except as set forth in the Indenture Agreement (the "Indenture"), the
Senior Notes are not redeemable by Presley prior to July 1, 1998. Thereafter,
the Senior Notes will be redeemable at the option of Delaware Presley, in whole
or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.
 
     The Senior Notes are senior obligations of Presley and rank pari passu in
right of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of Presley,
and senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of the Company which
by its terms is subordinated to the Senior Notes.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   19
 
     Upon certain changes of control as described in the Indenture, Presley must
offer to repurchase Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
 
     Presley is required to offer to repurchase certain Senior Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of repurchase if Delaware Presley's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is
less than $60,000,000 million for any two consecutive fiscal quarters and from
the proceeds of certain asset sales.
 
     The Indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts, among other things: (i)
the payment of dividends on and redemptions of capital stock by Presley, (ii)
the incurrence of indebtedness by Presley or the issuance of preferred stock by
Delaware Presley's subsidiaries, (iii) the creation of certain liens, (iv)
Delaware Presley's ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or to transfer
all or substantially all of its assets to, another person, and (v) transactions
with affiliates. These restrictions are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions.
 
     The net proceeds of this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding
under the Term Facility and to reduce the outstanding debt and commitment level
under the Working Capital Facility in connection with the Plan for Capital
Restructuring as more fully described above.
 
     The proceeds of the offering were used as follows:

     In April 1995, the Company purchased $10,000,000 principal amount of its
outstanding Senior Notes at a cost of $8,465,000, resulting in a net gain of
$724,000 after giving effect to related deferred loan costs and income taxes.
Although it has no definitive program to purchase outstanding Senior Notes, the
Company may make such purchases from time to time in the future if management
believes such purchases are in the Company's best interest.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding 12 1/2% Senior Notes with a face
value of $190,000,000 were valued at $180,500,000, based on discussions with
analysts.
 
  Working Capital Facility
 
     The collateral for the loans provided by the Working Capital Facility
includes substantially all real estate and other assets of the Company
(excluding assets of partnerships and the portion of the partnership interests
in the Carmel Mountain Ranch partnership which are currently pledged to other
lenders). The maximum loan under the Working Capital Facility is limited to
$72,000,000. The principal outstanding under the Working Capital Facility at
December 31, 1996 was $12,000,000.
 
     The Working Capital Facility has a termination date of May 20, 1997, with
two one-year extensions at the Company's option. Upon any extension of the
termination date, the Company would pay an extension fee of 1% of the Working
Capital Facility commitment amount (in addition to the loan fee described below)
for each year extended. Management intends to exercise the Company's option to
extend the termination date of the Working Capital Facility to May 20, 1998.
 
     Pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Facility, outstanding advances
bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%. An alternate option provides for
interest based on a specified overseas base rate plus 4.44%, but not less than
the prime rate option in effect at December 31, 1993 (8.00%). In addition, the
Company pays a loan fee of 1% per annum, payable quarterly, on the total Working
Capital Facility commitment amount.
 
     The Working Capital Facility now provides that the Company must maintain a
Tangible Effective Net Worth as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not
less than $70,000,000. The Working Capital Facility also
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   20
 
provides that as of the last day of any fiscal quarter the ratio of the
Company's Total Liabilities (excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective
Net Worth must not exceed 3.75 to 1 and that the ratio of Adjusted Total
Liabilities (the Company's and its unconsolidated partnerships' Total
Liabilities and Letters of Credit) (excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible
Effective Net Worth must not exceed 4.0 to 1. At December 31, 1996 the Company's
Tangible Effective Net Worth was approximately $79,866,000, the ratio of the
Company's Total Liabilities (excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective
Net Worth was 3.10 to 1, and the ratio of Adjusted Total Liabilities (excluding
non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth was 3.10 to 1.
 
     The Working Capital Facility requires certain minimum cash flow and pre-tax
and pre-interest tests. The Working Capital Facility also provides for negative
covenants which, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash
dividends, merger transactions, transactions with affiliates, the incurrence of
additional debt and the acquisition of new land as described in the following
paragraph.
 
     Under the terms of the Working Capital Facility, the Company may acquire
new improved land for development of housing units of no more than 300 lots in
any one location without approval from the lenders if certain conditions are
satisfied. The Company may, however, acquire any new raw land or improved land
provided the Company has obtained the prior written approval of lenders holding
two-thirds of the obligations under the Working Capital Facility.
 
     The Working Capital Facility requires that mandatory prepayments be made to
reduce the outstanding balance of loans to the extent of all funds in excess of
$20,000,000 in the principal operating accounts of the Company.
 
     The Company is obligated under letters of credit, issued under terms of the
Working Capital Facility, which totaled $144,000 at December 31, 1996. These
letters of credit guarantee completion of construction related to various
project improvements.
 
  Joint Venture Facilities
 
     Horsethief Canyon Partners ("HCP"), the partnership that owns the
Horsethief Canyon master-planned community, is a California general partnership
and is 100% owned by The Presley Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Prior to October 4, 1996, the construction of the project was being financed
through intract loans to prepare finished lots for the construction of homes and
construction loans to finance the construction of homes.
 
     Effective on October 4, 1996, HCP executed a master credit agreement with a
maximum loan commitment of $10,000,000 to finance the development of lots for
residential homes and the construction of single-family attached and detached
production homes. At December 31, 1996, the revolving line of credit had an
outstanding balance of $2,628,000. Interest on the outstanding balance is at
prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures on March 17, 1998. Availability under the
line is subject to a number of limitations. The outstanding balance under this
facility, together with the outstanding balances under the CMR facility and the
Other Facility described below, may not exceed $29,000,000.
 
     Carmel Mountain Ranch ("CMR"), the partnership that owns the Carmel
Mountain Ranch master-planned community, is also a California general
partnership and is 100% owned by The Presley Companies and its wholly-owned
subsidiary. Effective in March 1995, the development and construction of Carmel
Mountain Ranch ("CMR"), a consolidated joint venture, is financed through a
revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit consists of several
components relating to production units, models and residential lots. At
December 31, 1996, the revolving line of credit had no outstanding balance.
Availability under the line is subject to a number of limitations, but in any
case cannot exceed $29,000,000, and is subject to further limitations as
described in the following paragraph. Interest on the outstanding balance is at
prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures on March 17, 1998.

  Other Facility
 
     Effective in October 1995, the Company executed a master credit agreement
with a maximum loan commitment of $5,000,000 to finance the development of lots
for residential homes and the construction of single-family attached and
detached production homes on certain real property located in Arizona and New
Mexico. Interest on the outstanding balance is at prime plus 1.00% and the loan
matures on November 30, 1998. The outstanding balance under this facility,
together with the outstanding balance under the CMR facility described in the
preceding paragraph, may not exceed $29,000,000. As of December 31, 1996 the
outstanding balance under this agreement was $3,542,000.
 
  Assessment District Bonds and Seller Financing
 
     In some locations in which the Company develops its projects, assessment
district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure
improvements and fees. Such financing has been an important part of financing
master-planned communities due to the long-term nature of the financing,
favorable interest rates when compared to the Company's other sources of funds
and the fact that the bonds are sold, administered and collected by the relevant
government entity. As a landowner benefited by the improvements, the Company is
responsible for the assessments on its land. When Presley's homes or other
properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the
responsibility for the related assessments.
 
     Another potential source of financing available to the Company is
seller-provided financing for land acquired by the Company. Although the Company
has not used this form of financing significantly in the past few years, it is
possible that such financing may be available and utilized to a greater extent
in the future.
 
  Cash Flows -- Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $27.7 million in
1995 to $15.6 million in 1996. The change was primarily due to reduced proceeds
from reductions in land sales, offset by the net income in 1996 compared to a
net loss in 1995.
 
     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities changed from a use of
$0.4 million in 1995 to a source of $0.7 million for 1996. The change was due
primarily to a reduction in the issuance of notes receivable, offset by a
reduction in the principal payments on notes receivable and an increase in the
purchase of property and equipment.
 
     Net cash used in financing activities decreased $27.8 million to $15.9
million in 1996 from $43.7 million in 1995. The change was primarily due to the
reduction of debt in 1995.
 
  Cash Flows -- Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $27.7 million in
1995 from $0.6 million in 1994. The change was primarily due to a reduction in
the amount invested in real estate inventories, offset by an increase in the net
loss in 1995 compared to 1994.
 
     Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities changed from a source
of $0.5 million in 1994 to a use of $0.4 million in 1995. The change was due
primarily to an increase in the amount of new notes receivable issued, offset by
an increase in principal payments received on notes receivable and a decrease in
purchases of property and equipment.
 
     Net cash used in financing activities increased $36.6 million to $43.7
million in 1995 from $7.1 million in 1994. The change was primarily due to the
reduction of debt.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Presley Companies
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Presley
Companies (the "Company") 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 consolidated financial position of The Presley
Companies at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Operations
 
     The Presley Companies (the "Company") is primarily engaged in designing,
constructing and selling single family detached and attached homes in
California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures. The equity
interests of other partners are reflected as minority partners' interest. 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. The accounting
policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the
Company.
 
  Real Estate Inventories and Related Indebtedness
 
     Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses and
real estate valuation adjustments. Real estate inventories consist primarily of
raw land, lots under development, houses under construction and completed
houses. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and
applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate
projects during periods when the project is under development. Land and
improvement costs are allocated within a project utilizing a method that
approximates relative value. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are
expensed in the period incurred. A provision for warranty costs relating to the
Company's limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales at the time the
sale of a home is recorded. The Company normally reserves one percent of the
sales price of its homes against the possibility of future charges relating to
its one-year limited warranty and similar potential claims.
 
     Interest incurred under the Working Capital Facility, the Senior Notes and
other notes payable, as more fully discussed in Note 5, is generally first
capitalized to real estate projects under development. Excess interest charges
related to real estate projects not under development are expensed in the period
incurred.
 
     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," ("Statement No. 121") which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on assets to be held and used by the Company
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets (excluding interest) are less than the
carrying amount of the assets. Statement No. 121 also requires that long-lived
assets that are held for disposal be reported at the lower of the assets'
carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposal. Under the new
pronouncement, when an impairment loss is required for assets to be held and
used by the Company, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair
value. This was a significant change from the previous accounting standard that
required homebuilders to carry real estate assets at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. Although Statement No. 121 was effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, the Company elected, as encouraged by the new
pronouncement, to adopt its provisions in 1995. Accordingly, the net loss for
the year ended December 31, 1995 included a non-cash charge of $16,811,000 to
record impairment losses on certain of the Company's real estate assets. The new
accounting standard could result in material additional adjustments to the
Company's real estate assets in the future, and materially different results in
the timing and amount of adjustments than would have been the case under the
previous standards.
 
     Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold
in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than a forced
or liquidation sale. The estimation process involved in determining if assets
have been impaired and in the determination of fair value is inherently
uncertain since it

                             THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
 
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
requires estimates of current market yields as well as future events and
conditions. Such future events and conditions include economic and market
conditions, as well as the availability of suitable financing to fund
development and construction activities. The realization of the Company's real
estate projects is dependent upon future uncertain events and conditions and,
accordingly, the actual timing and amounts realized by the Company may be
materially different from the estimated fair values as described herein.
 
     Prior to October 1, 1995, the Company evaluated its real estate inventories
to determine if such assets were stated at the lower of cost or estimated net
realizable value, as required by the then applicable accounting pronouncements.
The evaluations considered the depressed nature of the real estate business in
the Company's principal markets, the reduced demand from prospective homebuyers,
decreased sales prices, increased sales incentives, future costs of development
and holding costs during development. Based on these evaluations, reductions of
certain real estate assets to estimated net realizable value amounting to
$9,400,000 were recorded during 1995.
 
     Interest incurred during the period in which real estate projects are not
under development or during the period subsequent to the completion of projects
are expensed in the period incurred. Economic conditions in the real estate
industry can cause a delay in the development of certain real estate projects
and, as a result, can lengthen the periods when such projects are not under
development and, accordingly, have a significant impact on profitability as a
result of expensed interest. Interest expensed during 1996, 1995, and 1994 was
approximately $2,256,000, $2,226,000 and $6,961,000, respectively.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using various
methods over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to thirty-five
years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter of either their estimated useful lives or
term of the lease.
 
  Deferred Loan Costs
 
     Deferred loan costs are amortized over the term of applicable loans using a
method which approximates the interest method. Included in deferred loan costs
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, net of related amortization, are $4,259,000 and
$5,205,000, respectively, of costs associated with the issuance of the Company's
Senior Notes.
 
  Sales and Profit Recognition
 
     A sale is generally recorded and profit recognized when title has passed to
a buyer who has met down payment and continuing investment criteria in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." When it is determined that the
earnings process is not complete, unearned profit is deferred for recognition in
future periods.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
 
  Financial Instruments
 
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash investments, receivables, and
deposits. The Company typically places its cash investments in investment grade
short-term instruments. Collateral on first trust deed notes receivable is
primarily located in Southern California and Arizona. Deposits, included in
other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally
collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers.
 
     For those instruments, as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," for
which it is practical to estimate fair value,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
management has determined that the carrying amounts of the Company's financial
instruments approximate their fair value at December 31, 1996, except for the
12 1/2% Senior Notes as described in Note 5.
 
     The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to
credit risks. These financial instruments include letters of credit and
obligations in connection with assessment district bonds. These off-balance
sheet financial instruments are described in the applicable Notes.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased are considered cash equivalents.
 
  Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
     Net income (loss) per common share for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 is based on 52,195,678 shares of Series A and Series B common stock
outstanding.
 
     Net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 1994 is based
on 57,197,941 weighted average total shares of Series A and Series B common
stock outstanding after giving retroactive effect to the capital restructuring
described in Note 2.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and revenues and expenses for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates in the near-term.
 
NOTE 2 -- CAPITAL RESTRUCTURING AND QUASI-REORGANIZATION
 
     On March 28, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors approved a Plan for
Capital Restructuring, which was approved by the Company's Stockholders at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 1994.
 
     In accordance with the Plan for Capital Restructuring, on March 29, 1994
the Company executed a definitive agreement with its lenders to restructure the
Company's $340,000,000 revolving line of credit. The Plan was approved at the
Company's Annual Meeting held on May 20, 1994 and on that date the lender group
under the Company's Revolving Debt Facility (see Note 5) converted $95,000,000
of outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility to equity through the issuance
of 43,166,667 shares of a new series of common stock representing initially 70%
of the outstanding shares of all series of common stock of the Company. As
provided in the agreement with its lenders, when the Company completed its
Senior Notes Offering of $200,000,000 on June 29, 1994, as described below, the
lending group returned to the Company a total of 8,809,524 shares of the new
series of common stock, reducing their aggregate equity interest in the Company
to 65% from 70%. In order to implement the Plan for Capital Restructuring, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to redesignate existing
common stock as Series A Common Stock (the "Series A Common"), to establish a
second series of common stock which was issued to the lender group (the "Series
B Common"), and to increase the number of directors of the Company to nine, of
which six are elected by holders of outstanding shares of Series A Common, and
the remaining three are elected by the holders of outstanding shares of Series B
Common.
 
     Concurrent with the conversion of debt to equity, under the Plan for
Capital Restructuring, the Revolving Debt Facility was reduced by $95,000,000 to
a total of $245,000,000, comprised of a $150,000,000 term facility ("the Term
Facility") and a $95,000,000 working capital facility ("the Working Capital
Facility"), each described below (collectively, "the Debt Facilities"). In
addition the lender group increased the Working Capital Facility by $20,000,000
to a total of $115,000,000. Revolving credit loans under the Working Capital
Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time prior to the
termination date of the

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Working Capital Facility. The lender group had therefore provided Debt
Facilities totaling $265,000,000 to the Company.
 
     As described more fully in Note 5, the Company filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the sale of
$200,000,000 of Senior Notes which became effective on June 23, 1994. The
offering closed on June 29, 1994 and was fully subscribed and issued. The Term
Facility was repaid in full and the Working Capital Facility was reduced by
$43,000,000 from a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior
Notes.
 
     The terms of the Working Capital Facility are described more fully in Note
5.
 
     The Series B Common ranks pari passu with the Series A Common in any
liquidation of the Company. The Company may not declare or pay any dividends on
the Series A Common unless equal dividends are declared and paid on the Series B
Common.
 
     The Series B Common is convertible into Series A Common on a
share-for-share basis at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of any one
of the following: (1) after May 20, 1997; (2) if the holder sells the Series A
Common into which the Series B Common is being converted in a public
distribution or in open market sales under Rule 144, and the holder has made no
arrangement for the purchase of such shares by any purchaser; (3) certain sales
of Series A Common which result in a change of control; and (4) an event of
default under the Working Capital Facility shall occur and be continuing.
 
     As part of the Plan for Capital Restructuring, the Company's Board of
Directors also approved a Plan for Quasi-Reorganization retroactive to January
1, 1994. The Company implemented the quasi-reorganization at that time because
it was implementing a substantial change in its capital structure in accordance
with the Plan for Capital Restructuring. A quasi-reorganization allows certain
companies which are undergoing a substantial change in capital structure to
utilize "fresh start accounting."
 
     Under the Plan for Quasi-Reorganization, the Company implemented an overall
accounting readjustment effective January 1, 1994, which resulted in the
adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated fair values, and the
elimination of the accumulated deficit. The net amount of such revaluation
adjustments and costs related to the capital restructuring, together with the
accumulated deficit as of the date thereof, was transferred to paid-in capital
in accordance with the accounting principles applicable to
quasi-reorganizations.
 
     The estimation process involved in the determination of the fair value of
those assets as to which an adjustment was made is inherently uncertain since it
required estimates and assumptions as to future events and conditions. Such
future events and conditions include economic and market conditions, the
availability and cost of governmental entitlements necessary to develop and
build product, the cost of financing to fund development and construction
activities, and the availability and cost of labor and materials necessary to
develop, build and sell product.
 
     Because the amount and timing of the realization of the investments by the
Company and its subsidiaries in their respective real estate projects are
dependent upon such future uncertain events and conditions, the actual timing
and amounts may be materially different from the estimates and assumptions used
in determining fair value estimates utilized for purposes of the Plan for
Quasi-Reorganization.
 
     The quasi-reorganization affects the comparability of operating statements
for periods beginning after December 31, 1993 with those for periods beginning
on or before December 31, 1993. Moreover, any income tax benefits resulting from
the utilization of net operating loss and other carryforwards existing at
January 1, 1994 and temporary differences resulting from the
quasi-reorganization, are excluded from the results of operations and credited
to paid-in capital.

  Senior Notes
 
     The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the sale of $200,000,000 of Senior Notes
which became effective on June 23, 1994. The offering closed on June 29, 1994
and was fully subscribed and issued.
 
     The 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2001 were offered by The Presley Companies, a
Delaware corporation ("Delaware Presley"), are unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior basis by Presley Homes (formerly The Presley Companies), a California
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Delaware Presley ("California
Presley"). However, California Presley has granted liens on substantially all of
its assets as security for its obligations under the Working Capital Facility
and other loans. Because the California Presley guarantee is not secured,
holders are effectively junior to borrowings under the Working Capital Facility
with respect to such assets. Delaware Presley and its consolidated subsidiaries
are referred to collectively herein as "Presley" or the "Company." Interest on
the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing
January 1, 1995.
 
     Except as set forth in the Indenture Agreement (the "Indenture"), the
Senior Notes are not redeemable by Presley prior to July 1, 1998. Thereafter,
the Senior Notes will be redeemable at the option of Delaware Presley, in whole
or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.
 
     The Senior Notes are senior obligations of Presley and rank pari passu in
right of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of Presley,
and senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of the Company which
by its terms is subordinated to the Senior Notes.

                             THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
 
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     Upon a Change of Control as described in the Indenture, Presley must offer
to repurchase Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
 
     Presley is required to offer to repurchase certain Senior Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of repurchase if Delaware Presley's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is
less than $60,000,000 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters and from the
proceeds of certain asset sales.
 
     The Indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts, among other things: (i)
the payment of dividends on and redemptions of capital stock by Presley, (ii)
the incurrence of indebtedness by Presley or the issuance of preferred stock by
Delaware Presley's subsidiaries, (iii) the creation of certain liens, (iv)
Delaware Presley's ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or to transfer
all or substantially all of its assets to, another person, and (v) transactions
with affiliates. These restrictions are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions.
 
     The net proceeds of this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding
under the Term Facility and to reduce the outstanding debt and commitment level
under the Working Capital Facility in connection with the Plan for Capital
Restructuring as more fully described in Note 2.
 
     The proceeds of the offering were used as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     In April 1995, the Company purchased $10,000,000 principal amount of its
outstanding Senior Notes at a cost of $8,465,000, resulting in a net gain of
$724,000 after giving effect to related deferred loan costs and income taxes.
Although it has no definitive program to purchase outstanding Senior Notes, the
Company may make such purchases from time to time in the future if management
believes such purchases are in the Company's best interests.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding 12 1/2% Senior Notes with a face
value of $190,000,000 have a fair value of $180,500,000, based on discussions
with analysts.
 
  Working Capital Facility
 
     The collateral for the loans provided by the Working Capital Facility
includes substantially all real estate and other assets of the Company
(excluding assets of partnerships and the portion of the partnership interests
in the Carmel Mountain Ranch partnership which are currently pledged to other
lenders). The borrowing base is calculated based on specified percentages of
book values of real estate assets. The borrowing base at December 31, 1996 was
approximately $190,000,000; however, the maximum loan under the Working Capital
Facility is limited to $72,000,000. The principal outstanding under the Working
Capital Facility at December 31, 1996 was $12,000,000.
 
     The Working Capital Facility has a termination date of May 20, 1997, with
two one-year extensions at the Company's option. Upon any extension of the
termination date, the Company would pay an extension fee of 1% of the Working
Capital Facility commitment amount (in addition to the loan fee described below)
for each year extended. Management intends to exercise the Company's option to
extend the termination date of the Working Capital Facility to May 20, 1998.

                             THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
 
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     Pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Facility, outstanding advances
bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%. An alternate option provides for
interest based on a specified overseas base rate plus 4.44%, but not less than
the prime rate option in effect at December 31, 1993 (8.00%). In addition, the
Company pays a loan fee of 1% per annum, payable quarterly, on the total Working
Capital Facility commitment amount.
 
     The Working Capital Facility now provides that the Company must maintain a
Tangible Effective Net Worth as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not
less than $70,000,000. The Working Capital Facility also provides that as of the
last day of any fiscal quarter the ratio of the Company's Total Liabilities
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth must not exceed
3.75 to 1 and that the ratio of Adjusted Total Liabilities (the Company's and
its unconsolidated partnerships' Total Liabilities and Letters of Credit)
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth must not exceed
4.0 to 1. At December 31, 1996 the Company's Tangible Effective Net Worth was
approximately $79,866,000, the ratio of the Company's Total Liabilities
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth was 3.10 to 1, and
the ratio of Adjusted Total Liabilities (excluding non-recourse debt) to
Tangible Effective Net Worth was 3.10 to 1.
 
     The Working Capital Facility requires certain minimum cash flow and pre-tax
and pre-interest tests. The Working Capital Facility also provides for negative
covenants which, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash
dividends, merger transactions, transactions with affiliates, the incurrence of
additional debt and the acquisition of new land as described in the following
paragraph.
 
     Under the terms of the Working Capital Facility, the Company may acquire
new improved land for development of housing units of no more than 300 lots in
any one location without approval from the lenders if certain conditions are
satisfied. The Company may, however, acquire any new raw land or improved land
provided the Company has obtained the prior written approval of lenders holding
two-thirds of the obligations under the Working Capital Facility.
 
     The Working Capital Facility requires that mandatory prepayments be made to
reduce the outstanding balance of loans to the extent of all funds in excess of
$20,000,000 in the principal operating accounts of the Company.
 
     The Company is obligated under letters of credit, issued under terms of the
Working Capital Facility, which totaled $144,000 at December 31, 1996. These
letters of credit guarantee completion of construction related to various
project improvements.
 
  Joint Venture Facilities
 
     Horsethief Canyon Partners ("HCP"), the partnership that owns the
Horsethief Canyon master-planned community, is a California general partnership
and is 100% owned by The Presley Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Prior to October 4, 1996, the construction of the project was being financed
through intract loans to prepare finished lots for the construction of homes and
construction loans to finance the construction of homes.
 
     Effective on October 4, 1996, HCP executed a master credit agreement with a
maximum loan commitment of $10,000,000 to finance the development of lots for
residential homes and the construction of single-family attached and detached
production homes. At December 31, 1996, the revolving line of credit had an
outstanding balance of $2,628,000. Interest on the outstanding balance is at
prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures on March 17, 1998. Availability under the
line is subject to a number of limitations. The outstanding balance under this
facility, together with the outstanding balances under the CMR facility and the
Other Facility described below, may not exceed $29,000,000.
 
     Effective in March 1995, the development and construction of Carmel
Mountain Ranch ("CMR"), a consolidated joint venture, is financed through a
revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit consists of

several components relating to production units, models and residential lots. At
December 31, 1996, the revolving line of credit had no outstanding balance.
Availability under the line is subject to a number of limitations, but in any
case cannot exceed $29,000,000, and is subject to further limitations, as
described in the preceding and following paragraphs. Interest on the outstanding
balance is at prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures on March 17, 1998.
 
  Other Facility
 
     Effective in October 1995, the Company executed a master credit agreement
with a maximum loan commitment of $5,000,000 to finance the development of lots
for residential homes and the construction of single-family attached and
detached production homes on certain real property located in Arizona and New
Mexico. Interest on the outstanding balance is at prime plus 1.00% and the loan
matures on November 30, 1998. The outstanding balance under this facility,
together with the outstanding balances under the CMR facility and the HCP
facility described in the preceding paragraphs, may not exceed $29,000,000. As
of December 31, 1996 the outstanding balance under this agreement was
$3,542,000.
 
     The prime rate averaged 8.27%, 8.83% and 7.14% for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and was 8.25% and 8.50% at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
NOTE 6 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
 
  Management Stock
 
     In 1990, California Presley and certain members of management
("Management") entered into an agreement wherein common stock was issued to
Management in place of a then-existing incentive compensation plan. California
Presley issued 15,875 shares of common stock (approximately 1,574,800 equivalent
shares of Delaware Presley) to Management for $10,670,000, comprised of
$6,935,000 in cash and $3,735,000 in promissory notes. A portion of the stock
issued was pledged back to the Company as security for the promissory notes. The
promissory notes bore interest at 10%, were payable in installments over 30
years and were classified as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the
consolidated balance sheets. Principal payments have been reflected as
reductions of the promissory notes when received; $36,000 was received in 1994.
 
     Effective December 30, 1994, Management surrendered the pledged shares back
to the Company in satisfaction of the promissory note obligations. Because the
unpaid principal of the notes had been carried as a reduction of stockholders'
equity in the consolidated balance sheets, no charge against income resulted
from the transaction. The total principal cancelled was $2,955,000 and 661,465
shares of Series A Common Stock were surrendered back to the Company.
 
  Stock Option Plan
 
     Effective May 20, 1994, Delaware Presley amended the 1991 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") to increase the number of shares authorized for options to be
granted to 2,642,000 shares of Series A Common Stock. Under the Plan, options
may be granted from time to time to key employees, officers, directors,
consultants and advisors of the Company. The Plan is administered by the Stock
Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee is
generally empowered to interpret the Plan, prescribe rules and regulations
relating thereto, determine the terms of the option agreements, amend them with
the consent of the optionee, determine the employees to whom options are to be
granted, and determine the number of shares subject to each option and the
exercise price thereof. The per share exercise price for options will not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of the Series A Common Stock
on the date the option is granted. The options will be exercisable for a term
determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten years from the date of grant or
upon a change of control.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     On May 20, 1994, Delaware Presley issued options to purchase a total of
2,035,000 shares of Series A Common Stock at $2.875 per share. The options
outstanding at December 31, 1996 vest at various times and will be fully vested
on May 20, 1997 and expire five years from the date of vesting. In connection
with a new incentive compensation plan (as described below), 725,000 stock
options currently outstanding were repriced effective January 1, 1997 from
$2.875 to $1.00.
 
     Pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation", issued in
October 1995, the Company has elected to continue applying the methodology
prescribed by APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations to account for
outstanding stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized
in the financial statements related to stock options awarded to officers,
directors and employees under the Stock Option Plan. As required by Statement
No. 123, for disclosure purposes only, the Company has measured the amount of
compensation cost which would have been recognized related to stock options had
the fair value of the options at the date of grant been used for accounting
purposes. Based on such calculations, net income and earnings per share amounts
would be approximately the same as the amounts reported by the Company. The
Company estimated the fair value of the stock options at date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.25%; a dividend yield of 0.00%, a
volatility factor for the market price of the Company's common stock of 0.514;
and a weighted average expected life of four years for the stock options.
 
  Incentive Compensation Plan
 
     Effective on January 1, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
new incentive compensation plan for all of the Company's full-time, salaried
employees -- including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial
Officer ("CFO"), Executives, Managers, Field Construction Supervisors, and
certain other employees. Under the terms of this new plan, the CEO and CFO will
be eligible to receive bonuses at the discretion of the Compensation Committee
of the Board; in addition, the stock options currently outstanding and held by
the CEO and CFO (totaling 725,000 options) were repriced from $2.875 to $1.00.
 
     In addition, the 1997 Executive Bonus Plan stipulates annual setting of
individual bonus targets, expressed as a percent of each executive's salary,
with awards based on performance against goals pertaining to each participant's
operating area.
 
     All awards will be prorated downward if the sum of all calculated awards
for the entire Company exceeds 20% of the Company's consolidated pre-tax income
before bonuses. Awards will be paid out over three years, with 50% paid
following the determination of bonus awards, 25% paid one year later and 25%
paid two years later. The deferred amounts will be forfeited in the event of
termination for any reason except retirement, death or disability.

                             THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
 
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     At December 31, 1996 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
Federal tax purposes of approximately $111,997,000, of which $5,066,000 expires
in 2007, $17,543,000 expires in 2008, $27,378,000 expires in 2009, $35,840,000
expires in 2010 and $26,170,000 expires in 2011. Due to the transactions
discussed in Note 2, the future benefits associated with the utilization of the
net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited.
 
NOTE 8 -- GAIN FROM RETIREMENT OF DEBT
 
     In April 1995, the Company purchased $10,000,000 principal amount of its
outstanding Senior Notes at a cost of $8,465,000, resulting in a net gain of
$724,000 after giving effect to related deferred loan costs and income taxes.
Although it has no definitive program to purchase outstanding Senior Notes, the
Company may make such purchases from time to time in the future if management
believes such purchases are in the Company's best interests.
 
     In September 1995, the Company retired a land acquisition and development
loan at its wholly-owned partnership, Horsethief Canyon Partners, resulting in a
net gain of $1,964,000, after giving effect to income taxes.
 
NOTE 9 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     In some jurisdictions in which the Company develops and constructs
property, assessment district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance
major infrastructure improvements. As a land owner benefited by these
improvements, the Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When
properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the
responsibility for the related assessments. Assessment district bonds issued
after May 21, 1992 are accounted for under the provisions of 91-10, "Accounting
for Special Assessment and Tax Increment Financing Entities" issued by the
Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board on May
21, 1992, and recorded as liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance
sheet, if the amounts are fixed and determinable.
 
     The Company's commitments and contingent liabilities include the usual
obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position.
 
     The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal
business activities. In the opinion of management, disposition of the various
lawsuits will have no material effect on the consolidated financial statements
of the Company.
