                                 PART I
Item 1.   BUSINESS

General

     Engle Homes, Inc. (the "Company" or "Engle" ), a Florida Corporation,
was formed in 1986, commenced business operations through predecessor
entities in 1978.  The Company designs, constructs, markets and sells
single-family homes, townhomes, patio homes and condominiums in Florida;
Denver, Colorado; Dallas, Texas; Raleigh, North Carolina; Virginia and
Maryland.  The Company entered the Denver market in June 1994 by acquiring
the assets of a homebuilder in Denver, Colorado. In addition, the Company's
subsidiaries include a mortgage company and a title company that provide
ancillary services to homebuyers in its homebuilding divisions.  

     The Company believes that its success has been due to its market
oriented approach coupled with its emphasis on product and price
diversification that caters to most segments of the home buying public,
a policy that enables the Company to respond more rapidly to changing market
conditions and the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry.  

Operating Policies

     The Company follows a number of basic operating policies which it
believes enhances its competitive position and provides maximum flexibility:

     Cost Controls. The Company seeks to reduce its costs and risks by (i) 
obtaining required zoning entitlements prior to most acquisitions of land, 
(ii) using subcontractors to perform home construction and site improvement 
work on a fixed price basis and (iii) using its position as a national 
homebuilder to obtain volume discounts on construction materials and
favorable pricing from subcontractors.

     Criteria for Land Acquisitions.  The Company selects its land for 
acquisition and development  based upon a variety of factors, including (i) 
internal and external demographic and marketing studies, (ii) financial and 
legal reviews as to the feasibility of the proposed project, (iii) required 
governmental approvals, and (iv) senior management's judgment as to the real
estate market, economic trends and the Company's experience in a particular 
market.

     Product Diversification.  The Company's homes are designed 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.  The Company's
product offerings include semi-custom estate homes, detached single-family
residences, townhomes and semi-detached patio homes/duplexes.  Sales prices
presently range from approximately $72,000 to over $400,000, and the average
sales price of homes delivered during fiscal 1996 was approximately
$194,000.  Management believes that the Company's long-standing policy
of product diversification enables it to respond more rapidly to changing
market conditions.

     Land Acquisition Diversification.  As indicated above, the Company
seeks to diversify by developing a number of communities at any one time in
each market, with different products and sales prices, rather than devoting
a substantial portion of its assets to any single project.  The Company also
seeks to diversify its land acquisitions by pursuing smaller developed and
undeveloped parcels, primarily through rolling option agreements available
for more immediate construction of homes.  Engle also acquires, from time to
time, larger parcels of land suited for master-planned communities,
primarily in South Florida.  In addition, the Company sometimes enters into
partnerships or joint ventures to purchase and develop land where such
arrangements are necessary to acquire the land or appear to be otherwise
economically advantageous to the Company.

Land Acquisition and Development

     The Company generally acquires improved building lots ready for 
construction and, whenever feasible, obtains options enabling it to purchase
improved lots.  Whenever option lots are not available in desirable
locations, Engle acquires tracks of land that require site improvements
prior to the start of home construction.  The Company also, from time to
time, purchases large tracts of land with the intention of reselling
portions of the tracts to other builders as a source of additional revenue. 
Thus, the Company purchased 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
currently, 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
approximate 1500 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 2000 single-family housing units and
has sold to others all of the approximately 222 acres of land zoned for
commercial and multi-family use.  Through October 31, 1996, approximately
$47.0 million in land sales contracts had been written, of which $29.7
million closed through fiscal 1996. Of the remaining $17.3 million in
contracts, $6.5 million are binding contracts, and $10.8 million are
contingent upon completion of an inspection period during the next ninety
days. 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, 1996, the Company was marketing 22 subdivisions in South
Florida; 15 in Orlando; 7 in Tampa; 9 in Denver, CO; 7 in Dallas, TX; 6 in
Virginia/Maryland and 4 in Raleigh, NC.   The Company's residential real
estate inventory at October 31, 1996 was as follows:

<PAGE>
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 through primarily commissioned employees,
who typically work from sales offices located at the model homes in each
Engle subdivision, as well as 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
and servicing of such loans as well as to other investors.

     During fiscal 1996, PHMC originated and sold (servicing released)
approximately $113.0 million in mortgage loans, representing approximately 
80% of the Company's homebuyers that requested mortgage financing.  At
October 31, 1996, PHMC was originating mortgages in 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.

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, declared moratoriums on the issuance of building
permits and imposed 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 on
the basis of a number of interrelated factors, including location,
reputation, amenities, design, quality and price, with numerous other
national, regional and local homebuilders, including some builders with
greater financial resources.  The Company also competes for residential
sales with individual sales of existing homes, available rental housing and,
to a lesser extent, resales of condominiums.  Management believes that the
Company's primary competitive strengths have been (i) the location of its
communities, and (ii) its reputation for service, innovative design and
value pricing.

     The housing industry is cyclical and affected by consumer confidence
levels, prevailing economic conditions generally and, in particular, by
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, 1996, the Company employed approximately 490 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 NW 13th Street,
Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 where the Company leases 9,356 square
feet of office space for a term expiring January 2001.  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.  (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
discussion of sale of commercial properties.)

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.


Item 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the Company's 1996 fiscal year.

</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 agreements currently limit the amount of dividends
that the Company may pay in any year to no more than 50% of the Company's
net income for such year.  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 January 31, 1994 does not exceed the sum of
(i) 50% of the Company's cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in
the indenture) since January 31, 1994 plus (ii) cash proceeds to the Company
from certain issuances of capital stock of the Company plus (iii) $1.0
million.

(a)        From December 23, 1986, through January 21, 1992 (the effective
           date of the Company's initial public offering), the Company was
           operated as an S Corporation under the applicable provisions of
           the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, accordingly,
           the Company's taxable income was taxed directly to the Company's
           shareholders.  Pro forma net income amounts assume that the
           Company was subject to Federal and state income taxes and taxed
           as a C Corporation at the effective tax rates in existence for
           all periods through January 21, 1992.  

(b)        In January 1992, prior to the consummation on the Company's
           initial public offering, the Company declared certain additional
           dividends to its then-existing shareholders, in the aggregate
           amount of $6,105,118.  

(c)        Fully diluted net income per share assumes conversion of the
           Company's 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 and
           elimination of amortized interest related to such Notes,
           resulting in an increase in net income and weighted average

     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 six months.  The following table sets forth the Company's
backlog for the periods indicated.

     The Company's backlog increased approximately 29.9% or $48.4 million
from October 31, 1995 to October 31, 1996 primarily as a result of pre-sale
contract activity at Pembroke Falls and increased sale activities in the all
homebuilding divisions.

Results of Operations

Year Ended October 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 1995.

     The Company's revenues from home sales during fiscal 1996 increased
$87.9 million (or 40.7%) compared to fiscal 1995.   The number of homes
delivered by the Company increased 37.8% (to 1,567 from 1,137) and the
average selling price of homes delivered increased 2.1% (to $194,000 from
$190,000).  The increase of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to the record backlog of homes under contract at the beginning
of fiscal 1996 and improved sales activity in all homebuilding divisions as
compared to fiscal 1995.  Management believes that changes in the average
selling price of homes delivered from period to period are attributable to
discrete factors at each of its subdivisions, including product mix and
premium lot availability, and cannot be predicted for future periods with
any degree of certainty.  

     The Company's revenues from land sales decreased approximately $3.4
million (or 16.2%) during fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 primarily
as a result of a decrease in commercial and multi-family land sales at
Pembroke Falls.

     Cost of home sales increased approximately $75.9 million (or 40.6 %)
compared to fiscal 1995, primarily due to the related increase in home
sales revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales is
consistent with fiscal 1995.  

     Cost of land sales decreased approximately $1.7 million (or 10.1%)
during fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of the
decrease in land sales.  Costs of land sales as a percentage of land sales
revenues increased to 88.7% from 82.7%, which was primarily attributable to
lower margin single family lots available for sale.  Margins from land sales
at Pembroke Falls in fiscal 1996 were comparable to fiscal 1995.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $7.3 million (or 32.9%) during fiscal 1996
as compared to fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of 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 9.0% in fiscal 1995 to 8.8% in fiscal 1996, primarily due to economies
of scale.

       Fiscal 1996 income before income taxes increased $4.2 million
(or 43.7%) as compared to fiscal 1995, primarily due to the increase in home
sales revenues.

Year Ended October 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 1994.

     The Company's revenues from home sales during fiscal 1995 is comparable
to fiscal 1994.   The number of homes delivered by the Company decreased
7.2% (to 1,137 from 1,225) and the average selling price of homes delivered
increased 7.9% (to $190,000 from $176,000).  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 $18.0 million (or 615%) during
fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of commercial
and multi-family land sales in the amount of $17.5 million at Pembroke
Falls.

     Cost of home sales in dollars and as a percentage of home sales during 
fiscal 1995 is comparable to fiscal 1994.   Cost of home sales as a
percentage of home sales increased to 86.7% as compared to 86.2% in fiscal
1994.  

     Cost of land sales increased approximately $14.8 million (or 573%)
during fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of the
increase in land sales.  Costs of land sales as a percentage of land sales
decreased to 82.7% from 87.9%, which was primarily attributable to higher
margin land sales at Pembroke Falls.

     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $4.2 million (or 23.3%) during fiscal 1995
as compared to fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of an increase in selling
expenditures related to an increase in the number of residential
subdivisions.  In addition, $1.3 million of this increase was attributable
to general and administrative expenses principally due to costs related to
the startup divisions of Virginia, Maryland, Dallas, Tampa  and Raleigh
during fiscal 1995.
  
     Primarily as a result of the increase in the Company's selling,
marketing and general administrative expenses partially offset by the
increased land sales profits, fiscal 1995 income before income taxes
decreased $2.6 million (or 22%) as compared to income before the cumulative
effect of the accounting change for fiscal 1994.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     General.  The Company's financing needs depend upon its construction
volume, asset turnover and land acquisitions.  Prior to the Company's
initial public offering, the Company's most significant source of funds were
acquisition, development and revolving construction loans provided by 
financial institutions and seller financing for land purchases.  In January 
1992, the Company completed an initial public offering of its Common Stock
and received net proceeds of approximately $27.3 million.  In February 1993,
the Company issued an aggregate of $30.0 million principal amount of 7%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 and received net proceeds of
approximately $28.7 million.  In March 1994, the Company issued an aggregate
of $40 million principal amount of 11% Senior Notes due 2000 and received
net proceeds of approximately $38.6 million.  The proceeds from these
offerings were generally used for repayment of debt, land acquisition and
general corporate purposes.

     In August 1996 the Company entered into two credit agreements
("Agreements") with various lending institutions which provide for a
combined $123.0 million collateralized revolving line of credit.  Borrowings
under these three year Agreements bear interest at rates ranging from LIBOR
plus 2.75% to prime plus .05% at the Company's election.  Available
borrowings under the Agreements are limited to certain percentages of
finished lots, construction costs, land and land under development. These
Agreements replaced certain credit facilities in place prior to August 1996.


   <PAGE>
    At October 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings of 
approximately $152.1 million, and aggregate available funds of approximately
$51.0 million pursuant to various credit lines including the Agreements. 
The Company believes that funds generated from operations and expected
borrowing availability under existing and future bank credit facilities will
be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital requirements, with the
exception of major land acquisitions during fiscal 1997.  For a further
description of the Company's borrowings, see Note 6  of the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In addition, PHMC has a warehouse line of credit for $18.0 million
which is guaranteed by the Company.  At October 31, 1996 the outstanding
balance was $13.0 million to service origination of mortgage loans.  The
Company believes that this line is sufficient for its mortgage banking
operation for the 1997 fiscal year.

     Land Acquisition and Construction Financing.  The Company is
continually exploring opportunities to purchase parcels of land for its
homebuilding operations and is, at any given time, in various stages of
proposing, making offers for, and negotiating the acquisition of various
parcels, whether outright or through options.  The Company has 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.  In addition to land acquisition expenditures incurred by
the Company, principal commitments  during the next several years relate to 
repayment of debt.  Scheduled and estimated maturities of the Company's 
borrowings aggregate approximately $4.6 million during fiscal 1997 and 
approximately $6.2 million in fiscal 1998.  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, new or renewed credit lines or term loans.  See Note 6 of
Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Cash Flows.  The Company has experienced negative cash flows from 
operating activities during fiscal 1996.  This is primarily the result of
increasing land inventory to meet expected sales demand and site
development costs associated with Pembroke Falls.  However, cash flows from
operating activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 increased
$10.1 million as a result of an increase in the deliveries of homes.  Cash
flows from investing activities during the fiscal year ended October 31,
1996 increased $8.4 million as compared to 1995 as a result of the sale of
three commercial properties.  They included the sales of the Company's
38,000 square foot shopping plaza located in Boca Raton, Florida on December
12, 1995, a 95 unit rental apartment complex in Orlando, Florida on December
29, 1995 and a 60,000 square foot mixed use office building located in Boca
Raton, Florida on July 10, 1996.  Cash flow provided from financing
activities totaled $3.6 million in 1996 due to an increase in net bank
borrowings partially offset by distributions to shareholders compared to an
increase of $47.0 million in fiscal 1995.  Such activities resulted in a net
increase in cash in the amount of approximately $9.1 million for fiscal
1996.
     
     Management does not anticipate that PHMC's expansion of its operation
will significantly impact the Company's 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 1996 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.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this annual report and Form 10-K are forward-looking statements
which involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
economic, competitive and governmental factors affecting the Company's
markets, prices and other facets of its operations.


New FASB Pronouncements:

     In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights".  SFAS No. 122, among other provisions, requires the
recognition of originating mortgage servicing rights as assets by allocating
total costs incurred in originating a loan between the loan and the
servicing rights based on their relative fair values.  Presently, the cost
of originated mortgage servicing rights is included with the cost of the
related loans and written off against income when the loans are sold.  Also,
under SFAS No. 122 all capitalized mortgage servicing rights are evaluated
for impairment based on the excess of the carrying amount of the mortgage
servicing rights over their fair value.

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
125 "Accounting for Servicing and Transfers of Financial Assets."  This
statement supersedes SFAS No. 122 in establishing standards for resolving
issues relating to the accounting for continuing involvement arising from
the transfer of financial assets.  Under SFAS No. 125, each time an entity
undertakes an obligation to service financial assets it shall recognize a
financial asset or servicing liability for that servicing contract.  A
servicing asset or liability shall be amortized in proportion to and over
the period of estimated net servicing income (if servicing revenues exceed
servicing costs) or net servicing loss (if servicing costs exceed servicing
revenues).  A servicing asset or liability shall be assessed for impairment
or increased obligation based on its fair value.    



     On October 23, 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
SFAS No. 123  , "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. Statement No. 123 provides a fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation arrangements rather than the intrinsic value based
method contained in APB Opinion No. 25.  The Statement does not require an
entity to adopt the new fair value based method for the purpose of preparing
its basic financial statements.  Entities that retain the APB Opinion No. 25
method of accounting will be required to display in the footnotes pro forma
net income and earnings per share information as if the fair value based
method had been adopted.  The Company currently does not intend to adopt the
Fair Value Method provided in Statement No. 123.

     SFAS No. 122 and 123 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
financial assets occurring after December 31, 1996.  The actual effects of
implementing these new standards has not been determined.  However, their
adoption is not expected to have any material or adverse affect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

             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, 1996 and  1995 and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1996.  We
have also audited the schedule 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, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended October 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

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

As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes during the year ended
October 31, 1994.

                      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; Maryland; Virginia and Raleigh,
North Carolina.  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:

     During Fiscal 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 121 entitled "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" which was not
significantly different from the Company's previous asset impairment
accounting policy.  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 the 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 estimated net realizable
value.  Estimated net realizable value is based upon sales achieved and
backlog in the normal course of business less estimated cost to complete and
dispose of the property.

     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 as goodwill, the excess of cost over the
fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions.
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line method over 20 years.
Amortization charged to operations amounted to $336,550, $336,550 and
$139,854 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 respectively.  The Company evaluates
the realizability of goodwill based upon estimated non-discounted cash flows
of subdivisions having a goodwill balance.

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.

Income Taxes:

     Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted statement of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires
an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The Company 
recorded a benefit of $1,332,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 as a 
cumulative effect on prior years of this accounting change.

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
stock splits, convertible debt and stock options described in Notes 6 and 7.
Such computations are further adjusted for fully diluted purposes by
assuming conversion of the $30,000,000 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes and
elimination of related interest amortized net of taxes during the period,
resulting in an increase in net income of $1,071,000, $854,905 and $898,075
for the years ended October 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


Financial Instruments:

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

New Accounting Pronouncements:

     In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights".  SFAS No. 122, among other provisions, requires the
recognition of originating mortgage servicing rights as assets by allocating
total costs incurred in originating a loan between the loan and the
servicing rights based on their relative fair values.  Presently, the cost
of originated mortgage servicing rights is included with the cost of the
related loans and written off against income when the loans are sold.  Also,
under SFAS No. 122 all capitalized mortgage servicing rights are evaluated
for impairment based on the excess of the carrying amount of the mortgage
servicing rights over their fair value.

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
125 "Accounting for Servicing and Transfers of Financial Assets."  This
statement supersedes SFAS No. 122 in establishing standards for resolving
issues relating to the accounting for continuing involvement arising from
the transfer of financial assets.  Under SFAS No. 125, each time an entity
undertakes an obligation to service financial assets it shall recognize a
financial asset or servicing liability for that servicing contract.  A
servicing asset or liability shall be amortized in proportion to and over
the period of estimated net servicing income (if servicing revenues exceed
servicing costs) or net servicing loss (if servicing costs exceed servicing
revenues).  A servicing asset or liability shall be assessed for impairment
or increased obligation based on its fair value.    

     On October 23, 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
SFAS No. 123  , "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. Statement No. 123 provides a fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation arrangements rather than the intrinsic value based
method contained in APB Opinion No. 25.  The Statement does not require an
entity to adopt the new fair value based method for the purpose of preparing
its basic financial statements.  Entities that retain the APB Opinion No. 25
method of accounting will be required to display in the footnotes pro forma
net income and earnings per share information as if the fair value based
method had been adopted.  The Company currently does not intend to adopt the
Fair Value Method provided in Statement No. 123.

     SFAS No. 122 and 123 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
financial assets occurring after December 31, 1996.  The actual effects of
implementing these new standards has not been determined.  However, their
adoption is not expected to have any material or adverse affect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.  





Financial Statement Reclassifications:

     Certain amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for 
the years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 have been reclassified to conform
to the presentation for the year ended October 31, 1996.


NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS

     On May 2, 1994, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
Universal Land Title, Inc., (ULT) a company that sells, but does not
underwrite, title policies in several Florida markets.  The Company paid ULT
approximately $1.9 million in cash, issued 29,200 shares of the Company's
Common Stock (valued at $361,000) to the selling shareholders, and entered
into an agreement to pay two of the selling shareholders a total of $300,000
in cash in equal monthly installments over a two year period.  The Company
also assumed, among other things, approximately $7.0 million of financial
services liabilities (consisting primarily of escrow deposits) which were
offset by corresponding financial services assets of approximately $7.7
million.

     On June 15, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Park Homes West, Inc. (Park), a company primarily engaged in the
construction and sales of residential homes in the Denver, Colorado area.
As consideration for the assets acquired, the Company paid Park
approximately $11.3 million in cash, issued to the principal shareholders of
Park $2.0 million promissory note due October 31, 1995, and assumed
approximately $7.0 million of Park's indebtedness to certain banks and other
financial institutions.  The Company also assumed, among other things,
approximately $2.5 million of trade payables and other ordinary course
indebtedness of Park.  

     Both acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and accordingly, the
financial results of ULT and Park are included in the consolidated financial
results of the Company from the respective dates of acquisition.  The cost
of the acquisitions have been allocated based on the estimated fair market
value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.  These allocations
resulted in goodwill of approximately 2.3 million for ULT and approximately
$4.4 million for Park.

NOTE 5 FINANCIAL SERVICES

     The Company operates two financial services subsidiaries: a full
service mortgage company and a title company.

     The mortgage company's activities include the origination, sale and
servicing of residential mortgages.  The mortgage company has established an
$18.0 million line of credit at prime minus .25% (8% at October 31, 1996),
expiring April 1997, to finance such mortgage originations.  As of October
31, 1996 the balance outstanding under the line of credit was approximately
$13.0 million.  Management does not anticipate that such expanded operations
will significantly impact the Company's liquidity because the originated
mortgages are sold within a short period of time after their origination to
qualified investors.  The following is a summary of the mortgage company's
results of operations and financial position:

     On February 22, 1993, the Company sold $30,000 of 7% Convertible 
Subordinated Notes Due 2003 (the "Notes").  The Notes are convertible into
Common Stock at a conversion price of $14.00 per share and are redeemable in
whole of in part, at the option of the Company on or after April 1, 1996.

     In March 1994 the Company sold $40.0 million principal amount of 11
3/4% Senior Notes due 2000.  From the net proceeds, $10.0 million were used
to repay a loan from Alec Engelstein, the Company's Chairman of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer, which borrowing had been incurred in
connection with the Pembroke Falls land purchase.  

     The Company's loan agreements contain covenants, including restrictions
on the Company's ability to pay dividends (no more than 50% of net income
after taxes for each fiscal year).  Certain of such loans also require that
the principal shareholders continue to beneficially own a majority of the 
Company's outstanding Common Stock and provide that the lender may, at its
option, accelerate such loans as a result of, among other things, mergers
with other entities.  In addition, the Convertible Subordinated Notes and
the Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries on a
full, unconditional, joint and several basis, and as a result, the financial
statements of the subsidiary guarantors are omitted.

     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.


NOTE 10 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     Effective August, 1993, the Company adopted 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, 1996, 1995, and 1994 amounted to $61,000, $66,000
and $46,000 respectively.
