HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments for interim periods presented have been
made, which include only normal recurring accruals and deferrals necessary
for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of
operations, and changes in cash flows.  The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and
these differences could have a significant impact on the financial
statements.  Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results which might be expected for a full year.  The balance sheet
at October 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements
at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.

(1)  Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance
     subsidiaries.
(2)  Represents acquisition interest for construction, land and development
     costs which is charged to interest expense when homes are delivered
     and when land is not under active development.

3.  Homebuilding accumulated depreciation at January 31, 2002 and
October 31, 2001 amounted to $18,612,000 and $18,367,000, respectively.
Senior residential rental property accumulated depreciation at January 31,
2002 and October 31, 2001 amounted to $2,757,000 and $2,688,000,
respectively.

4.  We record impairment losses on inventories related to communities
under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than their related carrying amounts.  In addition, from
time to time, we will write off certain residential land options including
approval, engineering and capitalized interest costs for land management
decided not to purchase.  We wrote off such costs in the amount of $801,000
in the Mid South, $20,000 in the Northeast Region, and $84,000 in North
Carolina during the three months ended January 31, 2002.  We also wrote off
such costs in the amount of $63,000 in the Northeast Region and $111,000 in
Metro D. C. during the three months ended January 31, 2001.  Residential
inventory impairment losses and option write offs are reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Income as "Homebuilding-Inventory Impairment
Loss."

5.  We are 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 us.  As of January 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001,
respectively, we are obligated under various performance letters of credit
amounting to $10,573,000 and $10,223,000.

	6.  We have an unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement ("Agreement")
with a group of banks which provides up to $440,000,000 through July 2004.
Interest is payable monthly and at various rates of either the prime rate
plus 0.40% or LIBOR plus 1.85%.  In addition, we pay a fee equal to 0.375%
per annum on the weighted average unused portion of the line.  As of
January 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001, there was an outstanding balance of
$35,600,000 and zero, respectively.

7.  On January 22, 2002 we issued a $165,000,000 Term Loan to a group
of banks which is due January 22, 2007.  Interest is payable monthly at
either the prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.5%.  The proceeds from the
issuance of the Term Loan were primarily used to partially fund the
acquisition of the California operations of The Forecast Group, L.P.
("Forecast").  See Note 8 below.

8.  On January 23, 2001 we merged with Washington Homes, Inc. for a
total purchase price of $87.4 million, of which $38.5 million was paid in
cash and 6,352,900 shares of our Class A Common Stock were issued.  At the
date of acquisition we loaned Washington Homes, Inc. approximately $57.0
million to pay off their third party debt.

On January 10, 2002 we acquired the California homebuilding
operations of Forecast for an estimated total purchase price of $196.5
million, of which $151.0 million will be paid in cash (including an
estimated adjustment based on Forecast's earnings through January 31, 2002)
and 2,208,738 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued.  We acquired
Forecast to expand our California homebuilding operations.  In addition, we
have an option to purchase additional land parcels owned by Forecast for a
price of $49.0 million.  At the date of the acquisition we also paid off
approximately $88.0 million of Forecast's third party debt. The total
purchase price amounted to $90.4 million over Forecast's book value, of
which $22.8 million was added to inventory to reflect fair value, $18.5
million was paid for two option agreements, a two year consultant's
agreement, and a three year right of first refusal agreement, and the
balance recorded as goodwill.

A Forecast condensed balance sheet (including the effects of purchase
accounting adjustments) as of the acquisition date is as follows (in
thousands):

The merger with Washington Homes, Inc. and acquisition of Forecast
were accounted for as purchases with the results of operations of these
entities included in our consolidated financial statements as of the date
of the merger and acquisition.  The purchase price was allocated based on
estimated fair value at the date of the merger and acquisition.  An
intangible asset equal to the excess purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets of $12.8 million and $49.1 million for Washington Homes and
Forecast, respectively, were recorded as goodwill on the consolidated
balance sheet.  The Washington Homes amount was being amortized on a
straight line basis over a period of ten years during fiscal 2001.  On
November 1, 2001 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142").  As a result
of adopting SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized.

The following unaudited pro forma financial data for the three months
ended January 31, 2002 and 2001 has been prepared as if the merger with
Washington Homes, Inc. on January 23, 2001 and the acquisition of Forecast
on January 10, 2002 had occurred on November 1, 2000.  Unaudited pro forma
financial data is presented for information purposes only and may not be
indicative of the actual amounts had the events occurred on the dates
listed above, nor does it purport to represent future periods (in
thousands).

9.  Restructuring Charges - Restructuring charges are estimated
expenses associated with the merger of our operations with those of
Washington Homes, Inc. as a result of the merger on January 23, 2001.
Under our merger plan, administration offices in Maryland, Virginia, and
North Carolina were either closed, relocated, or combined.  The merger of
administration offices was completed by July 31, 2001.  At January 31,
2001, expenses were accrued for salaries, severance and outplacement costs
for the involuntary termination of associates, costs to close and/or
relocate existing administrative offices, and lost rent and leasehold
improvements.  During the year ended October 31, 2001 our estimate for
restructuring charges was increased to a total of $3.2 million.  We have
provided for the termination of 65 associates.  We accrued approximately
$2.0 million to cover termination and related costs.  Associates being
terminated were primarily administrative.  In addition, we accrued
approximately $1.2 million to cover closing and/or relocation of various
administrative offices in these three states.  Such amounts are included in
accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements.  $305,000 was charged against the reserve during the three
months ended January 31, 2002.  At January 31, 2002 $1.7 million has been
charged against termination costs relating to the termination of 62
associates and $0.7 million has been charged against office closings and
relocation costs.

	10.  Intangible Assets - As reported on the balance sheet we have
goodwill totaling $81.7 million.  We have no other intangible assets.
During the three months ended January 31, 2002 we added $49.1 million of
goodwill as a result of the Forecast acquisition.  Goodwill deductible for
income tax purposes is approximately $550,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 2002.  Amortization of good will in the amount of $669,000 was
recorded for the three month period ended January 31, 2001 and is also
included in other operations in the accompanying financial statements.
After tax the goodwill amortization for the three months ended January 31,
2001 amounted to approximately $450,000, which if eliminated from net
income would have increased earnings per share approximately $0.02.

	In accordance with SFAS No. 142 the Company no longer amortizes
goodwill but instead reviews goodwill quarterly for impairment.  The
impairment test uses a fair value approach rather than the undiscounted
cash flows approach.  The Company has determined that goodwill was not
impaired as of January 31, 2002.

11.  Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., the parent company (the "Parent")
is the issuer of publicly traded common stock.  One of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., (the "Subsidiary Issuer") was
the issuer of certain Senior Notes on May 4, 1999 and October 2, 2000.

The Subsidiary Issuer acts as a finance and management entity that as
of January 31, 2002 had issued and outstanding approximately $99,747,000
subordinated notes, $300,000,000 senior notes, a revolving credit agreement
with an outstanding balance of $35,600,000, and a term loan with an
outstanding balance of $165,000,000.  The subordinated notes, senior notes,
the revolving credit agreement, and term loan are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by the Parent.

	Each of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent (collectively the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries"), with the exception of various subsidiaries
formerly engaged in the issuance of collateralized mortgage obligations, a
mortgage lending subsidiary, a subsidiary holding and licensing the "K.
Hovnanian" trade name, a subsidiary engaged in homebuilding activity in
Poland, our title subsidiaries, and joint ventures (collectively the "Non-
guarantor Subsidiaries"), have guaranteed fully and unconditionally, on a
joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest under
the senior notes and the revolving credit agreement of the Subsidiary
Issuer.

	In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the
Guarantor Subsidiaries we have included the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements.  Management does not believe that separate
financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to
investors.  Therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures
concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

	The following consolidating condensed financial information present
the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of (i) the
Parent, (ii) the Subsidiary Issuer, (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries of the
Parent, (iv) the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries of the Parent, and (v) the
eliminations to arrive at the information for Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc.
on a consolidated basis.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

	Our cash uses during the three months ended January 31, 2002 were
for operating expenses, seasonal increases in housing inventories,
construction, income taxes, interest, the repurchase of common stock,
and the acquisition of the California operations of The Forecast Group,
L.P. ("Forecast").  We provided for our cash requirements from housing
and land sales, the revolving credit facility, the issuance of a term
loan, financial service revenues, and other revenues.  We believe that
these sources of cash are sufficient to finance our working capital
requirements and other needs.

	On December 31, 2000, our stock repurchase program to purchase up
to 4 million shares of Class A Common Stock expired.  As of December 31,
2000, 3,391,047 shares had been purchased under this program.  On July
3, 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a revision to our stock
repurchase program to purchase up to 2 million shares of Class A Common
Stock.  As of January 31, 2002, 558,700 have been purchased under this
program.

	Our homebuilding bank borrowings are made pursuant to a revolving
credit agreement (the "Agreement") that provides a revolving credit line
and letter of credit line of up to $440,000,000 through July 2004.
Interest is payable monthly and at various rates of either the prime
rate plus .40% or Libor plus 1.85%.  We believe that we will be able
either to extend the Agreement beyond July 2004 or negotiate a
replacement facility, but there can be no assurance of such extension or
replacement facility.  We currently are in compliance and intend to
maintain compliance with the covenants under the Agreement.  As of
January 31, 2002, borrowings under the Agreement were $35,600,000.

	The subordinated indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of
January 31, 2002 was $99,747,000 9 3/4% Subordinated Notes due June
2005.  The senior indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of
January 31, 2002 was $150,000,000 10 1/2% Senior Notes due October 2007
and $150,000,000 9 1/8% Senior Notes due May 2009.

	On January 22, 2002 we issued a $165,000,000 Term Loan to a group
of banks which is due January 22, 2007.  Interest is payable monthly at
either the prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.5%.  The proceeds from
the issuance of the Term Loan were primarily used to partially fund the
acquisition of the California operations of Forecast.

	Our mortgage banking subsidiary borrows under a $110,000,000 bank
warehousing arrangement which expires in July 2002.  Interest is payable
monthly at the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.125%.  We believe that we will
be able either to extend this agreement beyond July 2002 or negotiate a
replacement facility, but there can be no assurance of such extension or
replacement facility.  Other finance subsidiaries formerly borrowed from
a multi-builder owned financial corporation and a builder owned
financial corporation to finance mortgage backed securities, but in
fiscal 1988 decided to cease further borrowing from multi-builder and
builder owned financial corporations.  These non-recourse borrowings
have been generally secured by mortgage loans originated by one of our
subsidiaries.  As of January 31, 2002, the aggregate principal amount of
all such borrowings was $70,728,000.

Total inventory increased $199,716,000 during the three months
ended January 31, 2002.  The increase in inventory was primarily due to
the acquisition of Forecast.  In addition inventory levels increased
slightly in most of our other housing markets.  Substantially all homes
under construction or completed and included in inventory at January 31,
2002 are expected to be closed during the next twelve months.  Most
inventory completed or under development is financed through our line of
credit, term loan, and senior and subordinated indebtedness.

	We usually option property for development prior to
acquisition.  By optioning property, we are only subject to the loss of
a small option fee and predevelopment costs if we choose not to exercise
the option.  As a result, our commitment for major land acquisitions is
reduced.


The following table summarizes housing lots included in our residential real
estate. The January 31, 2002 numbers exclude lots owned and options in
locations that we have ceased development.
