Item 1.   BUSINESS

General

     Engle Homes, Inc. ("Engle" or the "Company") designs, constructs,
markets and sells detached single-family residences, townhomes, patio homes
and condominiums to entry level and move-up buyers, retirees and second
home, seasonal buyers.  Engle operates in nine geographic markets:  Broward
County, Palm Beach County and Martin County in South Florida; Orlando in
Central Florida; Tampa, Sarasota, Naples and Fort Myers on the west coast of
Florida; Denver, Colorado; Dallas, Texas; Virginia and Maryland; Raleigh,
North Carolina; Phoenix, Arizona; and Atlanta, Georgia.  The Company offers
a variety of home styles at prices ranging from approximately $70,000 to
over $400,000 with an average sales price in fiscal 1998 of approximately
$192,000.  In addition, the Company operates a mortgage company which
provides mortgages primarily to its home buyers in substantially all of its
geographic markets and a title company which provides services to its home
buyers and third parties in Florida and Denver, Colorado.  

     Engle is a leading Florida homebuilder.  The Company believes that it
is one of the top five builders of single-family homes in South Florida and
Central Florida.  Florida is the number one homebuilding state in the United
States in terms of total housing starts.  In addition, Florida is currently
the fourth largest state based upon total population and has consistently
ranked among the top four states in population growth over the past seven
decades.

     Since 1993, Engle has expanded into eight of the top 20 homebuilding
markets in the nation through both start-up operations and the acquisition
of a homebuilder in Denver, Colorado.  In fiscal 1998, approximately 44% of
the Company's revenues from home sales were generated outside of the Florida
markets as compared to none in fiscal 1993.

     Over the past five years, the Company's total revenues have grown from
$224 million in fiscal 1994 to $536 million in fiscal 1998.  The number of
homes delivered increased from 1,992 in fiscal 1997 to 2,605 in fiscal 1998.

At the end of fiscal 1998, Engle was marketing homes in 91 communities.  

Recent Developments

     The Company completed a number of transactions during fiscal 1998
that strengthened the Company's total capitalization as follows:

     During fiscal 1998, the Company called for the early redemption of its
7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "1993 Notes").  The Company
redeemed approximately $14.6 million aggregate principal amount of the
1993 Notes and $15.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 1993 Notes
were converted by the holders thereof into approximately 1.1 million
shares of common stock of the Company.

     In February 1998, the Company consummated (i) an underwritten
public offering of 3,105,000 shares (including 405,000 shares issued
pursuant to an over-allotment option) of the Company's Common Stock and (ii)
an underwritten public offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008 ("New Notes").  The net proceeds to the
Company from these offerings was approximately $137.2 million.  The
Company used the net proceeds as follows:  (i) $115.9 million to repay
amounts outstanding under certain of the Company's homebuilding lines of
credit; (ii) $5.1 million to repay outstanding amounts under the Company's
mortgage company subsidiary line of credit; (iii) $16.2 million for general
corporate purposes.

     In May 1998, the Company entered into a $170 million unsecured
revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with various banks.
The Credit Facility replaced all of the Company's secured lines of credit.
All outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility are due in May 2001.

     In June 1998, the Company sold $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of 9-1/4% Series B Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Series B Notes") in a
transaction not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at
a price to investors of 98.5% of the principal amount thereof.  The net
proceeds to the Company from such sale were approximately $48.0 million.
The Company used the net proceeds primarily to redeem all of the $40 million
aggregate principal amount of its 11-3/4% Senior Notes due 2000 outstanding
at a price of 105.875% of the principal amount thereof and the remainder to
repay outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility.  On August 24, 1998,
the Company completed an exchange of the Series B Notes and substantially
all of the New Notes for approximately $150,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 9-1/4% Series C Senior Notes due 2008.

Business Strategy

     Engle believes that its success has been due to its market-oriented
approach which it applies to each of the following:  (i) identifying new
markets; (ii) acquiring land; and (iii) diversifying its product offerings
and price ranges to appeal to most segments of the home buying public. 
Engle believes that this strategy enables it to respond more rapidly to
changing market conditions.

     Expand in Existing and New Markets.  The Company has successfully
expanded its operations through both start-up operations in new and existing
markets and the acquisition of a homebuilder in Denver, Colorado.  Within
its existing markets, the Company believes that it is able to gain greater
market share by increasing the number of residential projects, thereby
leveraging its existing management structure and enhancing profitability
through economies of scale.  As part of its strategy to further diversify
geographically, the Company continually seeks and evaluates market expansion
opportunities, including potential acquisitions of homebuilding companies. 
The Company seeks to expand into geographic markets with significant
single-family home permit activity, substantial job growth, a diversified
economy and an availability of strong management with local market
expertise.  Since its initial public offering in January 1992, the Company
has expanded into eight new geographic markets.

     Offer a Broad Selection of Products.  The Company designs its homes to
appeal to a wide variety of home buyers, including entry level and move-up
buyers, retirees and second home seasonal buyers.  Accordingly, the Company
offers a number of home styles and price ranges at various locations in each
market, including golf and waterfront communities in certain markets. 
Engle's product offerings include estate homes, detached single-family
residences, townhomes, semi-detached patio homes/duplexes and condominiums. 
Management believes that the Company's long-standing policy of product
diversification enables it to respond more rapidly to changing market
conditions.

     Selectively Acquire Land.  Engle seeks to identify and acquire superior
locations in each market and offer a number of communities with diverse
products and sales prices.  In addition, when economically advantageous to
the Company, Engle enters into partnerships or joint venture agreements with
other major homebuilders to purchase and develop well located parcels of
land.  The Company generally purchases land only after required zoning
entitlements have been obtained.

     Maintain Stringent Cost Controls.  The Company believes that
maintaining stringent cost controls is a key factor in achieving
profitability.  The Company seeks to reduce its costs and risks by (i)
obtaining required zoning entitlements prior to purchasing land, (ii) using
subcontractors to perform home construction and site improvement work on a
fixed price basis,  (iii) minimizing inventory of unsold homes, (iv)
improving construction cycle time for homes, (v) using its position as a
leading homebuilder to obtain national volume discounts on construction
materials and favorable pricing from subcontractors and (vi) maintaining a
sophisticated management information system that allows it to monitor
homebuilding production, scheduling and budgeting on a daily basis.

     Commitment to Customer Satisfaction.  The Company is dedicated to
providing customer satisfaction through quality construction and customer
service.  Divisional managers are responsible for the quality of
construction and the level of customer satisfaction in their respective
divisions.

     Experienced Management with Decentralized Operating Structure.  To
serve the needs of each of its markets, the Company relies upon the
expertise of its division managers, each of whom has significant experience
in the homebuilding industry.  In order to align corporate and divisional
profit goals, division managers receive bonuses based on the return on
assets of their respective divisions.  The division managers benefit from
Engle's corporate expertise in sales and marketing, land acquisition,
financial services and its centralized accounting department.  The Company
believes that this interaction between the divisional managers and corporate
management provides enhanced operating results.



Land Acquisition and Development

     The Company prefers to acquire improved residential lots ready for
construction by entering into option contracts, whenever possible, or
through outright purchases.  The Company also acquires tracks of land that
require site improvements prior to the start of home construction. 
Occasionally, the Company purchases larger tracts of land with the intention
of reselling portions of the tracts to other builders as a source of
additional revenue.  Specifically, the Company purchased in South Florida
large tracts of land and sold parcels to other builders in connection with
the development of its master planned communities, including Embassy Lakes,
North Passage, Lakeside Green and most recently, Pembroke Falls. Unlike the
Company's more typical subdivision projects, the Company's master-planned
communities have involved significantly larger tracts of land, greater
planning and site improvement activities and the development of more
extensive recreational facilities and related amenities.  The Company's
master-planned communities normally take five or more years to complete
depending on the project's size, economic conditions prevailing at the time
and the Company's strategy for the particular project.  Engle's more
traditional residential developments usually take two to three years to
complete.  

     Management believes that the Company's Pembroke Falls project
exemplifies the opportunities available to the Company when developing
master-planned communities.  In February 1994, the Company acquired this
approximately 1,500 acre parcel located in southwest Broward County,
Florida, a rapidly developing housing market.  The purchase price for the
Pembroke Falls parcel was $25.7 million, or approximately $17,100 per acre.
The Company expects to build approximately 2,000 single-family housing units
and has sold to others most of the approximately 222 acres of land zoned for
commercial and multi-family use.  Through October 31, 1998, approximately
$43.7 million in land sales contracts had closed.  Management believes that
the purchase of this relatively large parcel enabled the Company to obtain
desirable land inventory in its core market for future development at a
lower cost than if the Company had purchased smaller parcels available for
immediate construction of homes.

     The Company's land purchase agreements are typically subject to
numerous conditions, including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to
obtain necessary zoning and other governmental approvals for the proposed
subdivision.  During the contingency period, the Company also confirms the
availability of utilities, conducts hazardous waste and other environmental
analysis, and completes its marketing feasibility studies. 

     The Company expends considerable effort in developing a design and 
marketing concept for each of its subdivisions, which includes determination
of size, style and price range of the homes and, in certain projects, layout
of streets, layout of individual lots and overall community design.   The
product line offered in a particular subdivision depends upon many factors,
including housing generally available in the area, the needs of the
particular market and the Company's costs of lots in the subdivision.  The
Company, where necessary, undertakes development activities that include
government approvals, site planning, engineering, as well as constructing
roads, sewer, water and drainage facilities and, where applicable for
recreational facilities and other amenities.

<TABLE>
     At October 31, 1998, the Company was marketing 17 subdivisions in South
Florida; 20 in Central Florida; 14 on the west coast of Florida; 9 in Denver,
Colorado; 7 in Dallas, Texas; 7 in Virginia and Maryland; 3 in Raleigh,
North Carolina; 10 in Phoenix, Arizona; and 4 in Atlanta, Georgia.  The Company's

Construction

     The Company acts as the general contractor for the construction of its 
residential developments.  Company employees monitor the construction of
each project, participate in all material design and building decisions,
coordinate the activities of subcontractors and suppliers, subject their
work to quality and cost controls and monitor compliance with zoning and
building codes.  Subcontractors typically are retained for a specified
project pursuant to a contract which obligates the subcontractor to complete
construction at a fixed price.  

     The Company does not maintain significant inventories of construction 
materials except for work in process materials for homes under construction 
and a limited amount of other construction materials.  Generally, the 
construction materials used in the Company's operations are readily
available from numerous sources.

Marketing and Sales

     The Company sells its homes primarily through commissioned employees,
who typically work from sales offices located at the model homes in each
Engle subdivision, as well as through cooperating independent brokers.  In
all instances, Company personnel are available to assist prospective buyers
by providing them with floorplans, price information, tours of model homes
and the selection of various options and upgrades.  Options and upgrades are
generally priced to have a positive effect on profit margins.  Sales
personnel are trained by the Company and attend periodic meetings to be
updated on the availability of financing, construction schedules, marketing
and advertising plans.

     The Company advertises in newspapers, magazines and on billboards. 
Engle also uses out-of-state home shows, radio, video tapes, direct mail
advertising, special promotional events, illustrated brochures and model
homes in its comprehensive marketing program.  The Company also uses a
cross-referral program that encourages Company personnel to direct customers
to other Engle subdivisions based on the customers' needs.


Customer Service and Quality Control; Warranties

     The Company's customer service department is responsible for
pre-closing and post-closing customer needs.  Prior to closing, a Company
employee accompanies the buyer on a home orientation and inspection tour.
The Company is continuing with its objective to provide quality construction
through on-going training programs to maintain its high quality construction
standards.  The Company also provides home buyers with a limited warranty
program which, in general, provides for a one-year warranty on workmanship
and building materials and a ten-year structural warranty.  In addition, the
Company purchases, when required by local or state ordinances, builder
liability insurance for major structural defects.


Financial Services

     The Company's financial services subsidiaries provide mortgage banking
and title insurance services. 

     Mortgage Banking.   In April 1992, the Company established Preferred
Home Mortgage Company ("PHMC").  PHMC is a full service mortgage banker
which arranges financing through the origination of mortgage loans to the
Company's homebuyers and to a lesser extent third party loans that are not
associated with homes built by the Company.  PHMC is an approved lender by
the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") to deliver loan
origination to FNMA and to other investors and to service such loans.

     During fiscal 1998, PHMC sold approximately $201 million in mortgage
loans (including servicing rights), representing a significant portion of
the Company's homebuyers that requested mortgage financing.  Substantially
all of PHMC's revenues are derived from mortgages on homes built by Engle.
At October 31, 1998, PHMC was originating mortgages in substantially all
Engle homebuilding divisions.

     PHMC must comply with various federal and state laws and consumer
credit rules and regulations in connection with its mortgage lending
activities.  In addition, the mortgage banking industry in the United States
is highly competitive.  PHMC competes with other mortgage companies and
financial institutions to provide mortgage financing to both the Company's
customers as well as the general public.
          
     Title Services.  In September 1992, the Company purchased all the 
outstanding common stock of The Title Store, Inc.  In May 1994, the Company 
acquired all the capital stock of Universal Land Title, Inc. ("ULT"), a
company that sells, but does not underwrite, title policies and
simultaneously merged with the Title Store, Inc. to form one company.  ULT
currently provides title services to the Company's homebuyers in Florida and
Denver, Colorado, as well as third parties.  At October 31, 1998, ULT was
operating 16 offices in Florida and four offices in Denver, Colorado.

Government Regulation and Environmental Matters

     In developing housing communities, the Company must obtain the approval
of numerous government authorities regulating such matters as permitted land
uses and levels of density, the installation of utility services such as
water and waste disposal and the dedication of acreage for open space,
parks, schools and other community purposes.  Several authorities in Florida
and other states have imposed impact fees as a means of defraying the cost
of providing certain governmental services to developing areas and the
amount of these fees has increased significantly during recent years. Many
state laws require the use of specific construction materials which reduce
the need for energy-consuming heating and cooling systems.   Local
governments also, at times, declare moratoriums on the issuance of building
permits and impose other restrictions in areas where sewage treatment
facilities and other public facilities do not reach minimum standards.  To
date, the governmental approval processes and the restrictive zoning and
moratoriums discussed above have not had a material adverse effect on the
Company's development activities.  However, there is no assurance that these
and other restrictions will not adversely affect the Company in the future. 
The Company is also subject to a variety of Federal, state and local
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, cause the Company to incur
substantial compliance and other costs and prohibit or severely restrict
development in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas.  Prior to
consummating the purchase of land, the Company engages independent 
environmental engineers to evaluate such land for the presences of hazardous
or toxic materials, wastes or substances. The Company has not been
materially affected to date by the presence or potential presence of such
materials.

     To varying degrees, certain permits and approvals will be required to
complete the residential developments currently being planned by the
Company.  The ability of the Company to obtain necessary approvals and
permits for these projects is often beyond the Company's control, and could
restrict or prevent the development of otherwise desirable property.  The
length of time necessary to obtain permits and approvals increases the
carrying costs of unimproved property acquired for the purpose of
development and construction.  In addition, the continued effectiveness of
permits already granted is subject to factors such as changes in policies,
rules and regulations and their interpretation and application.  To minimize
these risks, the Company restricts land purchases to tracts that have zoning
entitlements.

     In recent years, regulation by Federal and state authorities relating
to the sale and advertising of residential real estate has also become more 
restrictive.  In order to advertise and sell condominiums and other
residential real estate in many jurisdictions, the Company has been required
to prepare registration statements or other disclosure documents and, in
some cases, to file such materials with designated regulatory agencies.

Competition and Market Factors

     The development and sale of residential properties is highly
competitive and fragmented.  The Company competes in each of its markets
with numerous national, regional and local builders, including some builders
with greater financial resources.  Builders of new homes compete not only
for home buyers, but also for desirable properties, raw materials and
skilled subcontractors.  The Company also competes for residential sales
with individual sales of existing homes and available rental housing.

     The housing industry is cyclical and affected by consumer confidence
levels, prevailing economic conditions generally and interest rate levels. 
A variety of other factors affect the housing industry and demand for new
homes, including the availability of labor and materials and increases in
the costs thereof, changes in costs associated with home ownership such as
increases in property taxes and energy costs, changes in consumer
preferences, demographic trends and the availability of and changes in
mortgage financing programs.

Employees

     At October 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 744 persons, 
including sales and marketing personnel, executive, administrative and
clerical personnel, construction employees and financial services personnel.
   
     Although none of the Company's employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements, certain of the subcontractors which the Company
engages are represented by labor unions or are subject to collective
bargaining agreements.  The Company believes that its relations with its
employees and subcontractors are good.

Item 2.   PROPERTIES

     The Company's corporate office is located at 123 N.W. 13th Street,
Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 where the Company leases 9,356 square
feet of office space for a term expiring in August 2006.  Engle's building
divisions, PHMC and ULT branch operations lease additional office space at
various locations for their day-to-day operations.  Management believes that
the current leased offices are adequate for its needs for the foreseeable
future.

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is involved from time to time in litigation arising in the 
ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

</TABLE>
     The Company has declared $.04 per share quarterly cash dividends in
each fiscal quarter since the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1992. The
Company presently intends to continue to declare and pay quarterly cash
dividends equal to $.04 per share of Common Stock.  The payment of cash
dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company
and will depend upon, among other things, results of operations, capital
requirements, the Company's financial condition and such other factors as
the Board of Directors may consider. There can be no assurance as to the
amount, if any, or timing of cash dividends.  

     The Company's loan agreement currently limits the amount of dividends
that the Company may pay in any fiscal quarterly period to no more than 50%
of the Company's consolidated net income for such period.  Generally, the
indenture for the Company's Senior Notes provides that the Company may not
declare or pay any dividend or make certain other payments or take certain
other actions (collectively,'Restricted Payments') unless the aggregate
amount of all Restricted Payments declared or made after February 1, 1998
does not exceed the sum of (i) 50% of the Company's cumulative Consolidated
Net Income (as defined in the indenture) since February 1, 1998 plus (ii)
cash proceeds to the Company from certain issuances of capital stock of the
Company plus (iii) $5.0 million.

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

     The Company's backlog increased approximately 86.2% or $150.0 million
from October 31, 1997 to October 31, 1998 primarily as a result of increased
sale activities in the all homebuilding divisions.


Results of Operations

Year Ended October 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 1997.

     The Company's revenues from home sales during fiscal 1998 increased
$96.6 million (or 23.9%) compared to fiscal 1997.   The number of homes
delivered by the Company increased 30.8% (to 2,605 from 1,992) and the
average selling price of homes delivered decreased 5.4% (to $192,000 from
$203,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to the improved sales activity in all homebuilding divisions as
compared to fiscal 1997.  Management believes that changes in the average
selling price of homes delivered from period to period are attributable to
discrete factors at each of its subdivisions, including product mix and
premium lot availability, and cannot be predicted for future periods with
any degree of certainty.  


     The Company's revenues from land sales increased approximately $6.3
million (or 82.4%) during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997 primarily
as a result of an increase in commercial land sales at Pembroke Falls.

     Cost of home sales increased approximately $80.8 million (or 23.4 %)
compared to fiscal 1997, primarily due to the related increase in home
sales.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 85.0%
from 85.4% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.  

     Cost of land sales increased approximately $5.8 million (or 81.4%)
during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of the
increase in land sales.  Costs of land sales as a percentage of land sales
was consistent with fiscal 1997.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $13.2 million (or 33.3%) during fiscal 1998
as compared to fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of selling costs
associated with the greater number of homes closed.  S, G & A expenses as a
percentage of total revenues increased from 9.3% in fiscal 1997 to 9.9% in
fiscal 1998, primarily due to an increase in selling expenditures related to
an increase in the number of residential subdivisions.

     Financial services income increased $2.8 million during fiscal 1998 as
compared to fiscal 1997.  This increase in income is due to increases in
both mortgages originated and title policies written during 1998.  The
increase in mortgage origination fees is directly attributable to the
increase in home sales.  The increase in title policies written related
primarily to new and existing home sales, mortgage refinancings and opening
of additional offices.

     Fiscal 1998 income before income taxes increased $6.5 million
(or 30.0%) as compared to fiscal 1997, primarily due to the increase in
revenues from home sales and financial services.

Year Ended October 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 1996.

     The Company's revenues from home sales during fiscal 1997 increased
$100.4 million (or 33.0%) compared to fiscal 1996.  The number of homes
delivered by the Company increased 27.1% ( to 1,992 from 1,567) and the
average selling price of homes delivered increased 4.6% (to $203,000 from
$194,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to a higher percentage of backlog being delivered during fiscal
1997.  Management believes that changes in the average selling price of
homes delivered from period to period are attributable to discrete factors
at each of its subdivisions, including product mix and premium lot
availability, and cannot be predicted for future periods with any degree of
certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales decreased approximately $9.9
million (or 56.3%) during fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 primarily
as a result of a decrease in the amount of commercial and multi-family land
sales at Pembroke Falls in fiscal 1997.

     Cost of home sales increased approximately $84.6 million (or 32.5%)
compared to fiscal 1996, primarily due to the related increase in home sales
revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to
85.4% from 85.7% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.  

     Cost of land sales decreased approximately $8.5 million (or 54.5%)
during fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of the decrease in land sales. 
Cost of land sales as a percentage of land sales increased to 92.3% from
88.7%, which was primarily attributable to lower margin single family lots
available for sale.  Margins from land sales at Pembroke Falls in fiscal
1997 were comparable to fiscal 1996.

     The Company's S,G&A expenses increased approximately $7.7 million (or
24.2%) during fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996, primarily as a result
of variable selling costs associated with the greater number of homes closed
and an increase in selling expenditures related to an increase in the number
of residential subdivisions.  S,G & A expenses as a percentage of total
revenues decreased from 9.6% in fiscal 1996 to 9.3% in fiscal 1997,
primarily due to certain economies of scale.
   
     Fiscal 1997 income before income taxes increased $8.2 million (or
59.8%) as compared to fiscal 1996, primarily due to the increase in home
sales revenues.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     General.  The Company's financing needs are provided by cash flows from
operations, unsecured bank borrowings and from time to time the public debt
and equity markets.

     Cash flow from operations, before inventory additions, has improved as
a result of increased revenue from all homebuilding divisions.  The Company
anticipates that cash flow from operations before inventory additions will
continue to increase  in fiscal year 1999 as a result of increased new home
deliveries.

     During fiscal 1998, the Company called for the early redemption of the
1993 Notes.  Approximately $14.6 million aggregate principal amount of the
1993 Notes were redeemed and the remaining $15.4 million principal amount of
the 1993 Notes were converted by the holders thereof into 1,100,129 shares
of the Company's Common Stock.

     On February 2, 1998, the Company consummated an underwritten public
offering of 3,105,000 shares (including 405,000 shares issued pursuant to an
overallotment option) of the Company's Common Stock and an underwritten
public offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9 1/4% Senior
Notes due 2008 ("New Notes").  The net proceeds to the Company from these
offerings was approximately $137.2 million.  The Company used the net
proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under certain of the Company's
homebuilding and mortgage company subsidiary lines of credit and for general
corporate purposes.

     On May 28, 1998, the Company entered into a $170 million unsecured
revolving credit agreement (the" Credit Facility") with various banks. 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate
based upon the prime rate, the federal funds rate or LIBOR.  All outstanding
borrowings under the Credit Facility are due in May 2001.  Under the terms
of the agreement the Company may request, and the banks shall make an annual
determination as to whether or not to extend the maturity of the commitment
by one year.  The terms of the Credit Facility contain restrictive covenants
which require the Company, among other things, to maintain a minimum net
worth and maintain certain financial ratios.  The agreement also places
limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness that may be incurred by
the Company, limitations on acquisitions and certain types of inventories
and dividends.  The Company's subsidiaries are guarantors for the Company's
obligations under the Credit Facility.  Available borrowings under the
Credit Facility are limited to certain percentages of finished lots,
construction costs, land and land under development.

     In June 1998, the Company sold $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of 9-1/4% Series B Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Series B Notes") in a
transaction not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at
a price to investors of 98.5% of the principal amount thereof.  The net
proceeds to the Company from such sale were approximately $48.0 million.
The Company used the net proceeds primarily to redeem all of the $40 million
aggregate principal amount of its 11-3/4% Senior Notes due 2000 outstanding
at a price of 105.875% of the principal amount thereof and the remainder to
repay outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility.  On August 24, 1998,
the Company completed an exchange of the Series B Notes and substantially
all of the New Notes for approximately $150,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 9-1/4% Series C Senior Notes due 2008.

     In June 1998 Moody's Rating Group upgraded the Company's $150 million
senior notes to B1.

    At October 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $205.1 million and $5.0 million of letters of credit
outstanding.  The Company believes that funds generated from operations and
expected borrowing availability under the Credit Facility will be
sufficient to fund the Company's working capital requirements during fiscal
1999, with the exception of major land acquisitions, if any.  For a further
description of the Company's borrowings, see Note 4 of the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In addition, PHMC has a warehouse line of credit for $40.0 million
which is guaranteed by the Company.  At October 31, 1998 the outstanding
balance was $25.8 million to service origination of mortgage loans.  The
Company believes that this line is sufficient for its mortgage banking
operation for the 1999 fiscal year.  For further description of PHMC's
warehouse line see Note 3 of the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

     Land Acquisition.  The Company is continually exploring opportunities
to purchase parcels of land for its homebuilding operations and is, at any
given time, in various stages of proposing, making offers for, and
negotiating the acquisition of various parcels, whether outright or through
options.  The Company has continued to increase its land development and
construction activities in response to current and anticipated demand and
expects to pursue additional land acquisition and development opportunities
in the future.

     Debt Service.  Scheduled and estimated maturities of the Company's 
borrowings aggregate approximately $7.1 million during fiscal 1999.  The
Company anticipates that it will fund the maturities of its debt and
required expenditures relating to its developments primarily with cash flow
from operations and existing credit lines.  See Note 4 of Notes to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Management does not anticipate that PHMC's expansion of its operation
will significantly impact liquidity because the mortgages are generally sold
within a short period of time after their origination to the Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or other qualified investors.
PHMC has established the capability to retain the servicing of loans,
however, during fiscal 1998 all servicing rights were sold.



Inflation

     The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be 
adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of 
higher land and construction costs.  In addition, higher mortgage interest 
rates may significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage 
financing to prospective purchasers.  Inflation also increases the Company's
interest costs and costs of labor and materials.  The Company attempts to
pass through to its customers any increases in its costs through increased
selling prices and, to date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations.  However, there is no assurance that
inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future 
results of operation.

Interest Rates

     The Company's operations are interest rate sensitive.  Overall housing
demand is adversely affected by increases in interest costs.  If mortgage 
interest rates increase significantly, this may negatively impact the
ability of a homebuyer to secure adequate financing.  Such results of higher
interest rates may result in adversely affecting the Company's revenues,
gross margins and net income.

Year 2000 Issues

     The Company conducts its business primarily with commercial software
provided by third party vendors.  After an analysis of the Company's
exposure to the impact of year 2000 issues, management believes that such
commercial software is substantially year 2000 compliant and expects the
cost of addressing remaining year 2000 issues to be less than $10,000.  As
part of its assessment, Company management has been evaluating year 2000
compliance by those with whom it does business and to date has not
discovered any year 2000 problems with significant counterparties that it
believes are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect upon the
Company.  However, no assurances can be given that potential year 2000
problems at those with whom the Company does business will not occur, and if
these occur, consequences to the Company will not be material.


New FASB Pronouncements:

     During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").  SFAS No.
128 replaced the existing methodology for calculating and presenting
earnings per share.  Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share has been
replaced with a presentation of basic earnings per share and fully diluted
earnings per share has been be replaced with diluted earnings per share. 
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shares outstanding for the period by the weighted
average of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is
computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share in accordance with
the Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15.  The impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 128 has not been material.

     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"),
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances.  Comprehensive income is defined to
include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information ("SFAS No. 131"), which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," establishes standards for
the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued
to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding
products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  SFAS No. 131
defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate the resources
and in assessing performance.

     Both SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 were issued in June 1997 and were adopted
by the Company in 1998.  The adoption of these statements did not impact the
Company's financial statement disclosures.

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.  The
Statement applies to all entities and is effective for all fiscal quarters
of the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Company did not
engage in derivative instruments or hedging activities in any periods
presented in the consolidated financial statements.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Shareholders' and Board of Directors
Engle Homes, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Engle
Homes,Inc., and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1998 and  1997 and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1998.  
We have also audited Schedule II, Valuation and Qualifying Accounts
listed in the accompanying index.  These financial statements and the
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
the schedule 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 and
schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Engle
Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries at October 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended October 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

                      ENGLE HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Business:

     Engle Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") is engaged
principally in the construction and sale of residential homes and land
development.  The Company's primary market is Florida with divisions in
Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Virginia and Maryland; Raleigh, North
Carolina; Phoenix, Arizona; and Atlanta, Georgia.  Ancillary products
and services to its residential home building include land sales to other
builders, origination and sale of mortgage loans and title services.  The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Preparation of Financial Statements:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Asset Impairments:

     The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of certain of its
assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and
trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of
assets may not be recoverable.  If such reviews indicate that the carrying
value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the
undiscounted sum of the expected future cash flows of such assets to
determine if such sum is less than the carrying value of such assets to
ascertain if a permanent impairment exists.  If a permanent impairment
exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market
prices, if available, for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not
available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such
assets.  

Cash:

     Unrestricted cash includes amounts in transit from title companies for
home closings and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of
three months or less.

     Restricted cash consists of amounts held in escrow as required by
purchase contracts or by law for rental security deposits and compensating
balances for various open letters of credit.



Inventories:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair value.  Inventories
under development or held for development are stated at an accumulated cost
unless such cost  would not be recovered from the cash flows generated by
future disposition.  In this instance, such  inventories are reserved at
fair value.

     Interest, real estate taxes and similar development costs are
capitalized to land and construction costs during the development and
construction period and are amortized to costs of sales as closings occur.

Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization:

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and
amortization are provided over the assets' estimated useful lives ranging
from 18 months to 30 years, primarily on the straight-line method.  Loan
costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the outstanding
borrowings.


Goodwill:

     The Company has classified the excess of cost over the fair value of
the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions as goodwill.
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line method over 20 years. 
Amortization charged to operations amounted to $336,550 in fiscal 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

Revenue Recognition:

     Revenues and profits from sales of commercial and residential real
estate and related activities are recognized when closings have occurred and
the purchaser has made a minimum down payment and other criteria for sale
and profit recognition are satisfied in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles governing profit recognition for real estate
transactions.

Selling and Marketing:

     Certain selling and marketing costs associated with residential
projects are deferred and amortized as closings related to those sales occur
and revenue is recognized.  Deferred selling and marketing costs amounted to
$1,300,000 at October 31, 1998.  The Company amortized selling and marketing
cost of $37,600,000, $27,800,000 and $22,100,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.


Income Taxes:

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."



Earnings Per Share:

     Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding during each year, after giving effect to the
convertible debt and stock options described in Notes 5 and 6.  During 1998,
the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").  SFAS No. 128 replaced the
existing methodology for calculating and presenting earnings per share.
Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share has been replaced with a
presentation of basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per
share has been replaced with diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per
share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shares outstanding for the period by the weighted average of common
shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to
fully diluted earnings per share in accordance with the Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15.  The impact of the adoption of SFAS
No. 128 has not been material.

Financial Instruments:

     The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to
various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate, and
unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial instruments
approximate their recorded values.

Stock Based Compensation:

The Company recognizes compensation expense for its stock option incentive
plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting.  Under the terms of
the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the stock at the grant date, or other measurement
date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

     
     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"),
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances.  Comprehensive income is defined to
include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS No. 131"), which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," establishes standards for
the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued
to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding
products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  SFAS No. 131
defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate the resources
and in assessing performance.

     Both SFAS No. 130 and No. 131, issued in June 1997, were adopted by
the Company in 1998.  The adoption of these statements did not impact the
Company's financial statement disclosures.

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.  The
Statement applies to all entities and is effective for all fiscal quarters
of the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Company did not
engage in derivative instruments or hedging activities in any periods
presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Statement Reclassifications:

     Certain amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for 
the years ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 have been reclassified to conform
to the presentation for the year ended October 31, 1998.

<FN>
     On May 28, 1998, the Company entered into a $170 million unsecured
revolving credit agreement (the"Credit Facility") with various banks. 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at a
fluctuating rate based upon the prime rate, the federal funds rate or LIBOR.
All outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility are due in May 2001. 
Under the terms of the agreement the Company may request, and the banks
shall make an annual determination as to whether or not to extend the
maturity of the commitment by one year.  Available borrowings under the
Credit Facility are limited to certain percentages of finished lots,
construction costs, land and land under development.

     The weighted average interest rate of the Company's bank borrowings was
7.8%  and 8.4% at October 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     During 1998, the Company redeemeded approximately $14.6 million
aggregate principal amount of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003
(the "1993 Notes") and the remaining $15.4 million principal amount of the
1993 Notes were converted by the holders thereof into 1,100,129 shares of
the Company's Common Stock.

     On February 2, 1998, the Company consummated an underwritten public
offering of 3,105,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and an
underwritten public offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9
1/4% Senior Notes due 2008 ("New Notes").  The net proceeds to the Company
from these offerings was approximately $137.2 million.  A portion of such
proceeds were used to repay the Company's secured bank borrowings.

     In June 1998, the Company sold $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of 9-1/4% Series B Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Series B Notes") in a
transaction not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at
a price to investors of 98.5% of the principal amount thereof.  The net
proceeds to the Company from such sale were approximately $48.0 million.
The Company used the net proceeds primarily to redeem all of the $40 million
aggregate principal amount of its 11-3/4% Senior Notes due 2000 outstanding
at a price of 105.875% of the principal amount thereof and the remainder to
repay outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility.  On August 24, 1998,
the Company completed an exchange of the Series B Notes and substantially
all of the New Notes for approximately $150,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 9-1/4% Series C Senior Notes due 2008. 

     Maturities of borrowings are as follows:

                  Year Ended October 31,
                       1999                     $  4,907

                                                ========

     The aggregate fair market value of the $150 million senior notes, based
upon their quoted market price as of October 31, 1998, was approximately
$140,625.  All other borrowings, due to their relative short-term maturity,
approximate fair market value as of October 31, 1998.

     The Company's loan agreements contain restrictive covenants which
require the Company to, among other things, maintain a minimum net worth and
maintain certain financial ratios.  The Company's loan agreements also limit
the amount of dividends that the Company may pay in any fiscal quarterly
period to no more than 50% of the Company's Consolidated Net Income, as
defined, for such period and that the aggregate amount of dividends and
certain other payments made after February 1, 1998 does not exceed the sum
of 50% of the Company's cumulative Consolidated Net Income since February 1,
1998 plus cash proceeds to the Company from certain issuances of capital
stock of the Company plus $5.0 million.  Certain of such loans also provide
that the lender may, at its option, accelerate such loans as a result of,
among other things, a material adverse change in the Company's financial
position or results of operations.   

     The Senior Notes and the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all
of the Company's subsidiaries on a full, unconditional, joint and several
basis.  The financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are omitted as
management has determined that separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the subsidiaries would not be meaningful to
investors.

NOTE 6  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     At October 31, 1998, the Company has a fixed stock option plan which is
described below.  The Company applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan.

Under APB Opinion 25, if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of
grant, no compensation is recognized.

     Under the 1991 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan" ), as amended, options were
authorized to be granted to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of the
Company's stock at not less than the fair market value at the date of the
grant.  Options expire ten years from the date of grant, and typically vest
evenly over a five year period.

     SFAS Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income
and net income per share as if compensation cost associated with options
granted under the Company's stock option plan had been determined in
accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS Statement No.
123.  During the year ended October 31, 1998, the Company granted 300,000
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $13.75, the
closing price on the date of grant.  There were no options granted during
the year ended October 31, 1997.  The Company' s pro forma net income and
income per share under the accounting provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123
did not materially differ from the reported amounts and are presented below.

Year ended October 31, 1998

     Net income, as reported                        $14,836

NOTE 8  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is subject to the normal obligations associated with
entering into contracts for the purchase, development and sale of real
estate in the routine conduct of its business.  The Company is committed
under various letters of credit and performance bonds which are required for
certain development activities, deposits on land and lot purchase contract
deposits.  Outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds under these
arrangements totaled approximately $34.7 million at October 31, 1998. 

     The Company and its subsidiaries occupy certain facilities, including
the Company's headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, under lease arrangements.
Rent expense, net of sublease income, amounted to $331,749, $293,541, and
$302,582 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Future minimum rental
commitments for operating leases with non-cancelable terms in excess of one
year are $800,000 per year through 2006.  Sublease income is derived
primarily from tenants occupying space under month-to-month and annual
leases.

     The Company has a defined contribution plan established pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees contribute to the
plan a percentage of their salaries, subject to certain dollar limitations,
and the Company matches a portion of the employees' contributions.  The
Company's contribution to the plan for the years ended October 31, 1998,
1997, and 1996 amounted to $108,000, 93,000 and 61,000, respectively.

     The Internal Revenue Service is in the process of reviewing the
Company's tax returns for the years 1994 through 1996.  While the Company
cannot be certain of the results of these audits, it believes that
adjustments, if any, will not be material.

     The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation arising in
the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

     The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be 
adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of 
higher land and construction costs.  In addition, higher mortgage interest 
rates may significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage 
financing to prospective purchasers.  Inflation also increases the Company's
interest costs and costs of labor and materials.  The Company attempts to
pass through to its customers any increases in its costs through increased
selling prices and, to date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations.  However, there is no assurance that
inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future 
results of operation.

     The Company's operations are interest rate sensitive.  Overall housing
demand is adversely affected by increases in interest costs.  If mortgage 
interest rates increase significantly, this may negatively impact the
ability of a homebuyer to secure adequate financing.  Such results of higher
interest rates may result in adversely affecting the Company's revenues,
gross margins and net income.
