HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED 1. The consolidated financial statements, except for the October 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet have been prepared without audit. 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, ------------------- ------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Interest Capitalized at Beginning of Period......... $31,365 $22,121 $25,694 $21,966 Plus Acquired Entity Interest. 3,604 Plus Interest Incurred(1)(3).. 12,333 9,291 23,905 17,314 Less Interest Expensed(3)..... 13,949 7,780 23,454 15,648 -------- -------- -------- -------- Interest Capitalized at End of Period (2) (3)..... $29,749 $23,632 $29,749 $23,632 ======== ======== ======== ======== (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. 3. Homebuilding accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2001 and October 31, 2000 amounted to $25,460,000 and $22,164,000, respectively. Senior residential rental property accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2001 and October 31, 2000 amounted to $2,435,000 and $2,294,000, respectively. 4. In accordance with "Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS 121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and For Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", 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 New Jersey, Metro D. C., and California amounting to $174,000 and $764,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2001 and April 30, 2001, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2000, we wrote off costs amounting to $513,000 in California. Residential inventory FAS 121 impairment losses and option write offs are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as "Homebuilding-Inventory Impairement 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, 2001 and October 31, 2000, we are obligated under various performance letters of credit amounting to $4,742,000 and $4,284,000, 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. 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 $57,000,000 to pay off their third party debt. The merger with Washington Homes, Inc. was accounted for as a purchase with the results of operations of the merged entity included in our consolidated financial statements as of the date of the merger. The purchase price was allocated based on estimated fair value at the date of the merger. Such allocation is preliminary and is pending management's assessment of the deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired. An intangible asset equal to the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of $12,794,000 is recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. This amount is being amortized on a straight line basis over a period of ten years. The following unaudited pro forma financial data for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000 has been prepared as if the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. on January 23, 2001 had occurred on November 1, 1999. Unaudited pro forma financial data is presented for information purposes only and may not be indicative of the actual amounts of the Company had the events occurred on the dates listed above, nor does it purport to represent future periods (in thousands).

Restructuring Charges - Restructuring charges are estimated expenses associated with the merger of our operations with those of Washington Homes, Inc. on January 23, 2001. Under our merger plan, administration offices in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina will be either closed, relocated, or combined. The merger of administration offices is expected to be completed by July 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. We estimate that approximately 58 associates will be terminated. We have accrued approximately $1.7 million to cover termination and related costs. Associates being terminated are primarily administrative. In addition, we accrued approximately $0.8 million to cover closing and/or relocating various administrative offices in these three states. At April 30, 2001 $686,000 has been charged against termination costs relating to the termination of 35 associates and $369,000 has been charged against closing and relocation costs. 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued in June 1998. This statement addresses the accounting for and disclosure of derivative instruments, including derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The statement requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change is recognized in earnings. The impact of the adoption of the new statement as of November 1, 2000 did not have a significant impact on our earnings or financial position. The effect of FAS 133 is immaterial to our financial statements. We manage our interest rate risk on mortgage loans held for sale and our estimated future commitments to originate and close mortgage loans at fixed prices through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments. These instruments are classified as derivatives and generally have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, gains and losses are recognized in current earnings during the period of change. 10. 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 April 30, 2001 had issued and outstanding approximately $99,747,000 of subordinated notes, $300,000,000 senior notes, and a revolving credit agreement with an outstanding balance of $120,600,000. 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. 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.

We provided for our cash requirements from housing and land sales, the revolving credit facility, financial service revenues 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 expired on December 31, 2000. As of April 30, 2001, 3,391,047 shares were repurchased under this program. 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, 2001, borrowings under the Agreement were $120,600,000. The subordinated indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April 30, 2001 was $99,747,000 9 3/4% Subordinated Notes due June 2005. The senior indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April 30, 2001 was $150,000,000 (issued at a discount of $146,400,000), 10 1/2 Senior Notes due October 2007 and $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, 2001, the aggregate principal amount of all such borrowings was $56,543,000. Total inventory increased $148,938,000 during the six months ended April 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. In addition, inventory levels increased in most of our housing markets. Substantially all homes under construction or completed and included in inventory at April 30, 2001 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 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. Collateralized 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, 2001 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 Our operations consist primarily of residential housing development and sales in our Northeast Region (comprising of New Jersey, southern New York State and eastern Pennsylvania), North Carolina, Metro D. C. (northern Virginia and Maryland), southern California, Texas, the Mid South (Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi), and Poland. Our Mid South operations are the result of the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. In addition, we provide financial services to our homebuilding customers. Important indicators of the future results are recently signed contracts and home contract backlog for future deliveries.

This was the result of a $158.2 million increase in revenues from the sale of homes and a $3.3 million increase in financial services revenues. This increase was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in land sales and other homebuilding revenues. Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2001 increased $198 million or 40%, compared to the same period last year. This was the result of a $191.5 million increase in revenues from the sale of homes, a $2.6 million increase in land sales and other homebuilding revenues, and a $3.9 million increase in financial services revenues. Homebuilding: Revenues from the sale of homes increased $158.2 million or 67% during the three months ended April 30, 2001, and increased $191.5 million or 39% during the six months ended April 30, 2001, compared to the same period last year. Revenues from the sales of homes are recorded at the time each home is delivered and title and possession have been transferred to the buyer.

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. In addition, gross margin percentages are higher in the Northeast Region compared to our other markets. For the three months ended April 30, 2001 our gross margin percentage slightly decreased 0.2% compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due to increased activity in Metro D. C., North Carolina, and added markets in the Mid South that report lower margins. The increased activity in these areas is the result of the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. For the six months ended April 30, 2001 our gross margin percentage increased 1.4% compared to the same period last year. This can be attributable to improved gross margins in the Northeast Region and Texas The improvements are primarily attributed to increased sales prices and tighter cost controls. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total homebuilding revenues decreased to 8.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from 10.8% for the prior year's three months and decreased to 9.2% for the six months ended April 30, 2001 from 10.3% for the prior year's six months. Such expenses increased during the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 $9.1 million and $12.4 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The dollar increase in selling, general, and administrative is due to increased advertising and selling costs in California due to the addition of five new communities, increases in administrative costs in our Northeast Region and Texas due to increased bonus accruals, and the addition of Washington Homes, Inc. 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, ------------------ ------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales................ $ 1,072 $ 882 $ 4,238 $ 1,816 Cost of Sales..................... 928 809 3,829 1,602 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales Gross Margin... 144 73 409 214 Interest Expense.................. 56 48 289 239 -------- -------- -------- -------- Land and Lot Sales Profit (Loss) Before Tax...................... $ 88 $ 25 $ 120 $ (25) ======== ======== ======== ======== 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, selling such mortgages in the secondary market, and title insurance activities. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 financial services provided a $2.0 million and $3.8 million profit before income taxes compared to a loss of $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the same periods in 2000. These increases are primarily due to a change in management, reduced costs, and increased mortgage loan amounts. In addition to our wholly-owned mortgage facillity, customers obtained mortgages from our mortgage joint ventures in our Texas and Washington Homes divisions. 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 administrative 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, construction services, and administration of insurance, quality, and safety. As a percentage of total revenues such expenses decreased to 2.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from 3.1% for the prior year's three months and decreased to 2.8% for the six months ended April 30, 2001 from 2.9% for the prior year's six months. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million and $4.9 million during the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 compared to the same periods last year. Increases in corporate general and administrative expenses are primarily attributed to less process redesign costs associated with SAP capitalized during the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 compared to the same period last year, increased depreciation resulting from capitalized process redesign costs in prior years, and increased bonus accruals based upon increased return on equity and increased staff levels in order to serve a much larger company resulting from the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. Process redesign costs are capitalized in accordance with SOP 98-1 "Accounting For the Cost of Computer Software Development For or Obtained for Internal Use". 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, ------------------ ------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- Sale of Homes.............. $ 13,893 $ 7,732 $ 23,165 $ 15,409 Land and Lot Sales......... 56 48 289 239 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total...................... $ 13,949 $ 7,780 $ 23,454 $ 15,648 ======== ======== ======== ======== Housing interest as a percentage of sale of homes revenues slightly increased to 3.5% and 3.4% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively, compared to 3.3% and 3.2% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2000, respectively. Other Operations Other operations consist primarily of miscellaneous residential housing operations expenses, senior residential property operations, 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. Restructuring Charges Restructuring charges are estimated expenses associated with the integration of our operations with those of Washington Homes, Inc. These expenses are salaries, severance and outplacement costs for the termination of associates, and costs to close and relocate existing administrative offices, and lost rent and leasehold improvements. At April 30, 2001, $686,000 has been charged against the $1.7 million accrual for termination and related costs while $369,000 has been charged against the $0.8 million accrual established for closing and relocation costs. Total Taxes Total taxes as a percentage of income before taxes amounted to approximately 38.5% and 32.4% for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in this percentage from 2000 to 2001 is primarily attributed to an increase in the effective federal income tax rate. The increased effective rate is due primarily to higher amounts of expenses in 2001 not deductible for federal taxes and a reduced effect of our senior rental tax credits. Although the credits are the same in 2001 and 2000, they reduce our effective tax rate less when pretax profits are higher. 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. 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 our homes sell, 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 homebuilding cost of sales. Merger With Washington Homes, Inc. On January 23, 2001 we merged with Washington Homes, Inc. for a total purchase price of $87.4 million, of which $38.5 was paid in cash and 6,352,900 shares of our Class A common stock were issued. The addition of Washington Homes operations for slightly more than three full quarters is expected to increase revenues more than 40% in fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000.
