THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased by 20.4%, to $51.4
million, from $42.7 million for the comparable period of 1997. The number of
homes closed by the Company increased by 11.6% to 347 units for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, from 311 units during the same period in 1997. The average
selling price of a home increased 7.8% to $148,000, during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from $137,300 for the comparable period in 1997. This
increase was principally due to a shift in the sales mix to a greater number of
homes closed in single family developments and fewer homes sold in multi-family
developments. Sales prices in multi-family developments are typically lower than
in single family developments.

Gross profit increased by 13.1%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $6.1 million for the comparable period of 1997. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 13.3% from 14.2% primarily due to older
lower margin homes closing during the current quarter, and continued start up
costs in some of the Company's newer markets. The majority of lower margin homes
that were in backlog at the beginning of the quarter were closed during the
current quarter, and margins should improve through the balance of the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 12.0% to $5.6 million
in the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $5.0 million for the comparable
period of 1997. The increase is due to an increase in variable costs related to
the increase in revenue during the quarter as well as continued start up costs
in some of the Company's newer markets. As a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expense decreased to 10.9% for the three month period
ended June 30, 1998, from 11.8% for the same period in 1997.

Interest expense increased to $717,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
from $280,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The increase in interest
expense is primarily due to the Company terminating capitalizing interest on a
piece of commercial land that is has held for approximately ten years. The land
is currently for sale and has a book value of about $9.0 million. The Company
capitalizes certain interest costs for land development and includes such
capitalized interest in cost of home sales when the related homes are delivered
to purchasers.

The Company's effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 41% which
reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income tax
benefit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,343,000.

The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset
turnover, land acquisition and inventory balances. In December 1994, the Company
issued $25 million of 12.11% Senior Notes payable and in February 1996, the
Company issued an additional $10 million of 9.42% Senior Notes payable
(collectively referred to as the "Senior Notes"). Proceeds were used to retire
certain mortgage notes payable and for working capital purposes. Principal and
interest payments of approximately $552,000 are due monthly beginning December
1996 through December 2004.

At June 30, 1998, the Company also had a $23.0 million revolving credit facility
from a commercial lender. Borrowings under this facility's line of credit
totaled $17.4 million at June 30, 1998. The Company has the capacity as of June
30, 1998 to borrow an additional $1.5 million of short-term debt, if otherwise
available, without violating the terms of the Senior Notes. The issuance of the
Senior Notes and the availability of the unsecured line of credit provide
additional liquidity and flexibility to the Company over the next two to three
years. The Company believes that amounts available under its existing borrowing
arrangements (assuming extensions and renewals of debt in the ordinary course of
business) and amounts generated from operations will provide funds adequate for
its home building activities and debt service including the Company's recent
expansions to Iowa, Florida, New Jersey and Indiana.

Due to the lower than expected financial results for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants under both
its Senior Note agreements and its revolving credit facility. All of the
Company's lenders have agreed to waive the violations and in addition the
agreements have been amended. Certain financial covenants have been reset over
the next fiscal year in order to give the Company time to reach original
covenant levels. The Company will pay an additional $100,000 principal per month
amortization on the Senior Notes for the remaining life of the notes.

The Company has generally been able to secure financing for its acquisition,
development and construction activities, and management believes such
arrangements will continue to be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.
There can be no assurance, however, that continued financing for land
acquisitions will be available or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory
to the Company.

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,
material and labor costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates may
significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to
prospective purchasers. The Company attempts to pass through to its customers
any increase 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 operations.
