The Members
Engle / Sunbelt Holdings, LLC
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Engle / Sunbelt Holdings, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Engle / Sunbelt Holdings, LLC at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Engle / Sunbelt Holdings, LLC (the Company) is a limited liability company formed on December 16, 2004 by TOUSA Homes, Inc. (TOUSA) and Suntous Investors, L.L.C. (Suntous). The principal purpose of the Company is to acquire, improve, develop and sell single family and multi-family housing. The Limited Liability Company Agreement (the Agreement) sets forth the basis for determining member loans and the allocation of profit and loss and distribution of net cash flow of the Company.
The voting interest of Suntous is fifty-one percent (51%) and the voting interest of TOUSA is forty-nine percent (49%). Profit and losses the Company are allocated to the member’s capital accounts in accordance with the respective percentage ownership of the Company as stated in the Agreement.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements represent the financial statements of Engle / Sunbelt Holdings, LLC.
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the homebuilding industry. These accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to the Company’s normal operating cycle being in excess of one year, the Company presents unclassified statements of financial condition.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The following summarizes the more significant of these policies.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in transit from title companies for home deliveries and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Inventory under development or held for development is stated at an accumulated cost unless such cost would not be recovered from the cash flows generated by future disposition. In this instance, such inventories are recorded at fair value. Inventory to be disposed of is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. The Company utilizes the specific identification method of charging construction costs to cost of sales as units are delivered. Common construction project costs are allocated to each individual home in the various communities based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each community. Interest, real estate taxes and certain development costs are capitalized to land and construction costs during the development and construction period and are amortized to cost of sales as deliveries occur.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates an asset for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest. During 2006, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $6.5 million, which is included in cost of sales — home sales in the accompanying statements of income.
Model furnishings and fixtures
Model furnishings and fixtures, consisting primarily of model home furniture, are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation generally is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from 36 to 60 months. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, accumulated depreciation approximated $3.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is the sale of homes to homebuyers. Revenue is recognized on home sales at closing when title passes to the buyer and all of the following conditions are met: a sale is consummated, a significant down payment is received, the earnings process is complete and the collection of any remaining receivables is reasonably assured.
Warranty Costs
The Company provides homebuyers with a limited warranty of workmanship and materials from the date of sale for up to two years. The Company generally has recourse against the subcontractors for claims relating to workmanship and materials. The Company also provides up to a ten-year homebuyer’s warranty, which covers major structural defects. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience and current factors, and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of income.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, consisting primarily of newspaper and trade publications, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to approximately $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires companies to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument and other valuation techniques as deemed appropriate. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, advances from developer, bank borrowings and note payable to developer. The Company believes that the carrying value of its financial instruments approximates their fair values.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company conducts all business in Arizona and, accordingly, the Company’s home building activities are susceptible to changes in market conditions that may occur in this location.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently reviewing the effect of this statement on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The Company has not yet determined what, if any, impact SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

8. Subsequent Events
As of December 31, 2006, and through the date of issuance of its financial statements, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants, as defined by the Revolving Facility, which expires on December 16, 2007.

Management of the Company does not anticipate any issues receiving the amendment before the expiration date. However, should the Company be unsuccessful in obtaining the amendment and the Company is not in compliance with the original covenant requirements during 2007, such non-compliance could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial position.
