HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED 1. The consolidated financial statements, except for the October 31, 1999 consolidated balance sheets, have been prepared without audit and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 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 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. 2. Interest costs incurred, expensed and capitalized were: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Interest Capitalized at Beginning of Period........ $22,121 $ 22,089 $21,966 $25,545 Plus Interest Incurred(1)(3). 9,291 6,274 17,314 11,329 Less Interest Expensed(3).... 7,780 7,346 15,648 14,388 Less Sale of Assets......... 1,469 -------- -------- -------- -------- Interest Capitalized at End of Period (2) (3)..... $ 23,632 $ 21,017 $ 23,632 $ 21,017 ======== ======== ======== ======== (1) Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries. (2) Data does not include a reduction for depreciation. (3) 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, and interest incurred and expensed on operating properties and senior residential rental properties. 3. Homebuilding accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999 amounted to $19,685,000 and $19,550,000, respectively. Senior residential rental property accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999 amounted to $2,095,000 and $2,211,000, respectively. 4. During the three months ended April 30, 1999 we recorded a $401,000 impairment loss associated with an option in Florida including approval, engineering and capitalized interest. Residential inventory FAS 121 impairment losses and option write-offs are reported on 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 April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999, we are obligated under various performance letters of credit amounting to $4,324,000 and $4,091,000, respectively. 6. Our credit facility has been amended as of February 22, 2000. Pursuant to the Amendment, our credit line increased to $375,000,000 and is extended through July 2003. Interest is payable monthly and at various rates of either the prime rate plus .25% or Libor plus 1.70%. 7. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., the parent company (the "Parent" or "Company") 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. The Subsidiary Issuer acts as a finance and management entity that as of April 30, 2000 had issued and outstanding approximately $100,000,000 of subordinated notes, $150,000,000 senior notes and a revolving credit agreement with an outstanding balance of $132,150,000. The subordinated notes, senior notes and the revolving credit agreement 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 four subsidiaries formerly engaged in the issuance of collateralized mortgage obligations, a mortgage lending subsidiary, a subsidiary holding and licensing the "K. Hovnanian" trade name and a subsidiary engaged in homebuilding activity in Poland (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 based on our understanding of the Securities and Exchange Commission's interpretation and application of Rule 3-10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulations S-X and Staff Accounting Bulletin 53. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Our uses for cash during the six months ended April 30, 2000 were for operating expenses, seasonal increases in housing inventories, construction, income taxes, interest, and the repurchase of common stock. We provided for our cash requirements from the revolving credit facility, housing and land sales, financial service fees and other revenues. We believe that these sources of cash are sufficient to finance our working capital requirements and other needs. In March 2000 the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to 4 million shares of Class A Common Stock. This authorization expires on December 31, 2000. As of April 30, 2000, 2,764,771 shares were repurchased under this program of which 400,371 shares were purchased during the six months ended April 30, 2000. Our bank borrowings are made pursuant to a revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement") that provides a revolving credit line of up to $375,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility") through July 2003. Interest is payable monthly and at various rates of either prime plus .25% or Libor plus 1.70%. We believe that we will be able either to extend the Agreement beyond July 2003 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 our covenants under the Agreement. As of April 30, 2000, borrowings under the Agreement were $132,150,000. The subordinated indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April 30, 2000 was $100,000,000 9 3/4% Subordinated Notes due June 2005. The senior indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April 30, 2000 was $150,000,000 9 1/8% Senior Notes due May 2009. Our mortgage banking subsidiary borrows under a bank warehousing arrangement. 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 April 30, 2000, the aggregate principal amount of all such borrowings was $30,186,000. Total inventory increased $62,740,000 during the six months ended April 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to significant anticipated openings of a number of communities in the Northeast Region and California and our expansion in Maryland. Substantially all homes under construction or completed and included in inventory at April 30, 2000 are expected to be closed during the next twelve months. Most inventory completed or under development is financed through our line of credit and subordinated indebtedness. The following table summarizes housing lots in our active selling communities under development (including Poland): (1) (2) Homes Contracted Remaining Commun- Approved Deliv- Not Home Sites ities Lots ered Delivered Available ------- -------- ------ ---------- ---------- April 30, 2000........ 125 19,554 6,549 2,203 10,802 October 31, 1999...... 110 19,963 6,899 1,844 11,220 (1) Includes 129 and 96 lots under option at April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999, respectively. (2) Of the total home lots available, 661 and 599 were under construction or complete (including 69 and 76 models and sales offices), 5,821 and 7,057 were under option, and 253 and 216 were financed through purchase money mortgages at April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999, respectively. In addition, at April 30, 2000 and October 31, 1999, respectively, in substantially completed or suspended communities, we owned or had under option 68 and 94 home lots. We also control a supply of land primarily through options for future development. This land is consistent with anticipated home building requirements in its housing markets. At April 30, 2000 we controlled such land to build 13,175 proposed homes, compared to 13,573 homes at October 31, 1999. The following table summarizes our started or completed unsold homes in active, substantially complete and suspended communities: April 30, October 31, 2000 1999 ----------------------- ----------------------- Unsold Unsold Homes Models Total Homes Models Total ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- Northeast Region.... 118 46 164 114 31 145 North Carolina...... 78 -- 78 129 -- 129 Florida............. 5 -- 5 5 -- 5 Metro D.

The balance of such mortgages is being held as an investment by us. We may incur risk with respect to mortgages that are delinquent, but only to the extent the losses are not covered by mortgage insurance or resale value of the house. Historically, we have incurred minimal credit losses. Collateral Mortgage Financing - Collateral for bonds payable consist of collateralized mortgages receivable which are pledged against non- recourse collateralized mortgage obligations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 Our operations consist primarily of residential housing development and sales in its Northeast Region (comprising of New Jersey, southern New York State and eastern Pennsylvania), North Carolina, southeastern Florida, Metro D. C. (northern Virginia and Maryland), southern California, Texas and Poland. Our Texas operations are the result of the acquisition of a Texas homebuilder on October 1, 1999. In addition, we provide financial services to our homebuilding customers as well as third parties. Important indicators of the future results are recently signed contracts and home contract backlog for future deliveries. Our sales contracts and homes in contract (using base sales prices) by market area are set forth below: Sales Contracts for the Six Months Ended Contract Backlog April 30, as of April 30, ----------------------- -------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 --------- --------- --------- --------- (Dollars in Thousands) Northeast Region(1): Dollars............. $283,166 $205,087 $358,531 $256,033 Homes............... 1,073 886 1,327 1,058 North Carolina: Dollars............. $ 60,872 $ 81,784 $ 47,229 $ 71,044 Homes............... 320 416 229 348 Florida: Dollars............. $ 13,691 $ 20,580 $ 13,711 $ 19,262 Homes............... 55 92 55 87 Metro D.

Total Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2000 increased $33.0 million or 15.8%, compared to the same period last year. This was the result of a $35.9 million increase in revenues from the sale of homes. This increase was partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in land sales and other homebuilding revenues and a $0.8 million decrease in financial services revenues. Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2000 increased $87.0 million or 21.1%, compared to the same period last year. This was the result of a $91.1 million increase in revenues from the sale of homes. This increase was partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in land sales and other homebuilding revenues and a $1.6 million decrease in financial services revenues. Homebuilding: Revenues from the sale of homes increased $35.9 million or 18.0% during the three months ended April 30, 2000, and increased $91.1 million or 23.1% during the six months ended April 30, 2000, compared to the same period last year. Revenues from sales of homes are recorded at the time each home is delivered and title and possession have been transferred to the buyer. Information on homes delivered by market area is set forth below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------- ------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 --------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Northeast Region(1): Housing Revenues..... $113,732 $126,501 $240,984 $253,184 Homes Delivered...... 409 482 871 960 North Carolina: Housing Revenues..... $ 30,891 $ 30,553 $ 58,261 $ 59,633 Homes Delivered...... 160 149 298 303 Florida: Housing Revenues..... $ 5,087 $ 9,531 $ 9,586 $ 17,864 Homes Delivered...... 17 40 37 78 Metro D.C.: Housing Revenues..... $ 17,459 $ 6,005 $ 33,304 $ 18,552 Homes Delivered...... 66 27 131 81 California: Housing Revenues..... $ 30,313 $ 26,548 $ 55,949 $ 43,859 Homes Delivered...... 117 128 211 231 Texas: Housing Revenues..... $ 37,573 $ -- $ 86,788 $ -- Homes Delivered...... 181 -- 440 -- Poland: Housing Revenues..... $ -- $ -- $ 301 $ 931 Homes Delivered...... -- -- 3 9 Totals: Housing Revenues..... $235,055 $199,138 $485,173 $394,023 Homes Delivered...... 950 826 1,991 1,662 (1) Three and six months ended April 30, 2000 includes $12,776,000 and $30,916,000 housing revenues and 39 and 89 homes from a New Jersey homebuilder acquired on August 7, 1999. The increase in the number of homes delivered and housing revenues compared to the prior year was primarily due to the acquisition of a Texas homebuilding company and an increase of three communities in the Metro DC market. The housing revenue increase was also the result of average home prices increasing slightly to $243,683 compared to $237,078 during the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Northeast Region and Florida. The decrease in home sales and related revenue in the Northeast Region is due to fewer selling communities in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1999, resulting in fewer deliveries during the first six months of fiscal 2000. In Florida the decrease is due to the closing of our Florida operations. Cost of sales includes expenses for housing and land and lot sales. A breakout of such expenses for housing sales and housing gross margin is set forth below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Sale of Homes................ $235,055 $199,138 $485,173 $394,023 Cost of Sales................ 187,615 155,085 392,325 309,334 -------- -------- -------- -------- Housing Gross Margin......... $ 47,440 $ 44,053 $ 92,848 $ 84,689 ======== ======== ======== ======== Gross Margin Percentage...... 20.2% 22.1% 19.1% 21.5% Cost of Sales expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues are presented below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------- -------- -------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- Sale of Homes................ 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% -------- -------- -------- -------- Cost of Sales: Housing, land & development costs.... 71.4% 69.9% 72.4% 70.4% Commissions............ 2.3% 1.9% 2.3% 1.9% Financing concessions.. 0.9% 0.7% 0.9% 0.8% Overheads.............. 5.2% 5.4% 5.3% 5.4% -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Cost of Sales.......... 79.8% 77.9% 80.9% 78.5% -------- -------- -------- -------- Gross Margin................. 20.2% 22.1% 19.1% 21.5% ======== ======== ======== ======== We sell a variety of home types in various local communities, each yielding a different gross margin. As a result, depending on the mix of both communities and of home types delivered, consolidated quarterly gross margin will fluctuate up or down and may not be representative of the consolidated gross margin for the year. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2000 our gross margin percentage decreased 1.9% and 2.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. This can be attributed to a less rich community mix from the Northeast Region and more deliveries in our new Texas market where they report lower margins. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total homebuilding revenues increased to 10.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from 9.0% for the prior year's three months and increased to 10.3% for the six months ended April 30, 2000 from 9.0% for the prior year's six months. Such expenses increased during the three and six months ended April 30, 2000 $7.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The overall percentage and dollar increases in selling, general and administrative is due to increased deliveries, community openings, and increases in administrative costs primarily in our Northeast Region and California, and the addition of Texas. Land Sales and Other Revenues: Land sales and other revenues consist primarily of land and lot sales. A breakout of land and lot sales is set forth below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------ ------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales................ $ 882 $ 4,207 $ 1,816 $ 5,534 Cost of Sales..................... 810 3,952 1,602 5,290 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales Gross Margin... 72 255 214 244 Interest Expense.................. 48 609 239 742 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales Profit (Loss) Before Tax...................... $ 24 $ ( 354) $ (25) $ (498) ======== ======== ======== ======== Land and lot sales are incidental to our residential housing operations and are expected to continue in the future but may significantly fluctuate up or down. Financial Services Financial services consist primarily of originating mortgages from our homebuyers, as well as from third parties, selling such mortgages in the secondary market and title insurance activities. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2000 financial services recorded a $0.8 million and $1.2 million loss before income taxes compared to a profit of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the same periods in 1999. Our mortgage banking goals are to improve profitability by increasing the capture rate of our homebuyers and expanding our business to include originations from unrelated third parties. Collateralized Mortgage Financing In the years prior to February 29, 1988 we pledged mortgage loans originated by our mortgage banking subsidiaries against collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's"). Subsequently we discontinued our CMO program. As a result, CMO operations are diminishing as pledged loans are decreasing through principal amortization and loan payoffs, and related bonds are reduced. In recent years, as a result of bonds becoming callable, we have also sold a portion of our CMO pledged mortgages. Corporate General and Administrative Corporate general and administration expenses include the operations at our headquarters in Red Bank, New Jersey. Such expenses include our executive offices, information services, human resources, corporate accounting, training, treasury, process redesign, internal audit, and administration of insurance, quality, and safety. As a percentage of total revenues such expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to the same period last year were unchanged. For the six months ended April 30, 2000 such expenses decreased to 2.9% from 3.1% for the prior year six months due to increased housing revenues. Corporate general and administration expenses increased $1.1 million and $1.5 million during the three and six months ended April 30, 2000 compared to the same periods last year. These increases are primarily attributed to increased process redesign costs associated with the design and development of streamlined business processes associated with the implementation of SAP, our new enterprise wide fully integrated software package and increased depreciation of capitalized process redesign costs in prior years. Interest Interest expense includes housing and land and lot interest. Interest expense is broken down as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------ ------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- Sale of Homes.............. $ 7,732 $ 6,737 $ 15,409 $ 13,646 Land and Lot Sales......... 48 609 239 742 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total...................... $ 7,780 $ 7,346 $ 15,648 $ 14,388 ======== ======== ======== ======== Housing interest as a percentage of sale of homes revenues amounted to 3.3% and 3.2% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2000, respectively, compared to 3.2% and 3.3% for the three and six months ended April 30, 1999, respectively. Other Operations Other operations consist primarily of miscellaneous residential housing operations expenses, amortization of senior and subordinated note issuance expenses, amortization of goodwill from homebuilding company acquisitions, earnout payments from homebuilding company acquisitions and corporate owned life insurance loan interest. Total Taxes Total taxes as a percentage of income before taxes amounted to approximately 32.4% and 40.0% for the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in this percentage from 1999 to 2000 is primarily attributed to lower state income taxes and senior rental tax credits. Although the credits are the same in 1999 and 2000, they reduce our effective tax rate more significantly when pretax profits decline. Deferred federal and state income tax assets primarily represent the deferred tax benefits arising from temporary differences between book and tax income which will be recognized in future years as an offset against future taxable income. If for some reason the combination of future years income (or loss) combined with the reversal of the timing differences results in a loss, such losses can be carried back to prior years to recover the deferred tax assets. As a result, management is confident such deferred tax assets are recoverable regardless of future income. Year 2000 Issues We completed all Year 2000 readiness work and experienced no problem with regard to this matter. Inflation Inflation has a long-term effect on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor result in increasing sale prices of our homes. In general, these price increases have been commensurate with the general rate of inflation in our housing markets and have not had a significant adverse effect on the sale of our homes. A significant risk faced by the housing industry generally is that rising house costs, including land and interest costs, will substantially outpace increases in the income of potential purchasers. In recent years, in the price ranges in which we sell our homes, we have not found this risk to be a significant problem. Inflation has a lesser short-term effect on us because we generally negotiate fixed price contracts with our subcontractors and material suppliers for the construction of our homes. These prices usually are applicable for a specified number of residential buildings or for a time period of between four to twelve months. Construction costs for residential buildings represent approximately 57% of our total costs and expenses.
