NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company”) are primarily engaged in designing, constructing and selling single family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona and Nevada.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s customary accounting practices. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures in which the Company has a 50% or less ownership interest are accounted for using the equity method. The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company designs, constructs and sells a wide range of homes designed to meet the specific needs of each of its markets. For internal reporting purposes, the Company is organized into five geographic home building regions and its mortgage origination operation. Because each of the Company’s geographic home building regions has similar economic characteristics, housing products and class of prospective buyers, the geographic home building regions have been aggregated into a single home building segment.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources primarily based on the operating income of individual home building projects. Operating income of individual home building projects is defined by the Company as sales of homes, lots and land; less cost of sales, impairment losses on real estate, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, operating income excludes certain items included in the determination of net income. All other segment measurements are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Management fees represent fees earned in the current period from unconsolidated joint ventures in accordance with joint venture and/or operating agreements.

The amount paid for business acquisitions over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill and, until January 1, 2002 was being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Accumulated amortization was $2,793,000 as of December 31, 2001. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement No. 142”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rule, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to impairment tests in accordance with Statement No. 142. The Company performed its first required annual impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and determined

WILLIAM LYON HOMES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

that goodwill was not impaired. As of June 30, 2002, there have been no indicators of impairment related to the Company’s goodwill. If Statement No. 142 had been adopted effective January 1, 2001, the pro forma impact of the nonamortization of goodwill on the results for 2001 would have been as follows (in thousands except per share data):

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2001		Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net income, as reported	$	9,618	$	15,699
Amortization of goodwill, net of tax		277		556

Net income, as adjusted	$	9,895	$	16,255

Net income per share, as adjusted:
Basic	$	0.94	$	1.54

Diluted	$	0.92	$	1.52

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had substantial net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes which were utilized to reduce taxable income during the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the reduction in the valuation allowance associated with such utilized net operating loss carryforwards, the Company’s overall effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 10.6% and 10.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $8,466,000 which expire in 2009. In addition, unused recognized built-in losses in the amount of $23,891,000 are available to offset future income and expire between 2009 and 2011. The utilization of these losses is limited to $3,235,000 of taxable income per year; however, any unused losses in any year may be carried forward for utilization in future years through 2011. The elimination during 2002 of the remaining valuation allowances for deferred tax assets reduces the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2002 from 38.3% to 25.7%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited in the event of an “ownership change” under Federal tax laws and regulations.

Earnings per share amounts for all periods presented conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are based on 10,306,910 and 10,606,034 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are based on 10,413,910 and 10,694,826 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2001 are based on 10,576,048 and 10,723,811 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are based on 10,573,152 and 10,684,244 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

The preparation of the Company’s 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 the assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates in the near-term.

Note 2 — Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are general partners or members in joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. Such joint ventures are 50% or less owned and not controlled by the Company and, accordingly, the financial statements of such joint ventures are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Income allocations and cash distributions to the Company from the unconsolidated joint ventures are based on predetermined formulas between the Company and the joint venture partners as specified in the applicable partnership or operating agreements. Condensed combined financial information of these joint ventures as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is summarized as follows:

Certain joint ventures have obtained financing from construction lenders which amounted to $74,463,000 at June 30, 2002. All of the joint ventures that have obtained such financing are in the form of limited partnerships of which the Company is the general partner. While historically all liabilities of these partnerships have been satisfied out of the assets of such partnerships and while the Company believes that this will continue in the future, the Company, as general partner, is potentially responsible for all liabilities and indebtedness of these partnerships. In addition, the Company has provided unsecured environmental indemnities to some of the lenders who provide loans to the partnerships. The Company has also provided completion guarantees and repayment guarantees for some of the limited partnerships under their credit facilities. The repayment guarantees only become effective upon repayment of the outstanding 12¹/2% Senior Notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, one of the joint ventures in which the Company is a general partner completed a land sale to the Company for $17,079,000 resulting in a profit of approximately $3,537,000, all of which was allocated to the Company’s outside partner as preferred return in accordance with the joint venture agreement.

Note 3 — 12¹/2% Senior Notes

The 12¹/2% Senior Notes are obligations of William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Lyon”), and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delaware Lyon. However, William Lyon Homes, Inc. has granted liens on substantially all of its assets as security for its obligations under certain revolving credit facilities and other loans. Because the William Lyon Homes, Inc. guarantee is not secured, holders of the Senior Notes are effectively junior to borrowings under the revolving credit facilities with respect to such assets. Delaware Lyon and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as the “Company.” Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

On October 26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (with Messrs. William Lyon and William H. Lyon abstaining) approved the purchase of 579 lots for a total purchase price of $12,581,000 from an entity controlled by William Lyon and William H. Lyon. The terms of the purchase agreement provided for an initial option payment of $1,000,000 and a rolling option takedown of the lots. Phase takedowns of approximately 20 lots each are anticipated to occur at two to three month intervals for each of several product types through September 2004. In addition, one-half of the net profits, as defined, in excess of six percent from the development are to be paid to the seller, of which $459,000 has been paid to date. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company purchased 13 lots under this agreement for a total purchase price of $211,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company purchased 64 and 104 lots, respectively, under this agreement for a total purchase price of $1,374,000 and $1,975,000, respectively. This land acquisition qualifies as an affiliate transaction under the Company’s 12¹/2% Senior Notes due July 1, 2003 Indenture dated as of June 29, 1994, as amended (“Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company has determined that the land acquisition is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated person. The Company has delivered to the Trustee under the Indenture a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the land acquisition is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated person and the land acquisition has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Further, the Company has delivered to the Trustee under the Indenture a determination of value by a real estate appraisal firm which is of regional standing in the region in which the subject property is located and is MAI certified.

On July 9, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors (with Messrs. William Lyon and William H. Lyon abstaining) approved the purchase of 144 lots for a total purchase price of $16,660,000 from an entity that purchased the lots from William Lyon. The terms of the purchase agreement provide for an initial deposit of $3,300,000 (paid on July 23, 2002) and monthly option payments of 11.5% on the seller’s outstanding investment. Such option payments entitle the Company to phase takedowns of approximately 14 lots each, which are anticipated to occur at one to two month intervals through December 2003. As of July 23, 2002, no lots have been purchased under this agreement. Had the Company purchased the property directly, the acquisition would qualify as an affiliate transaction under the Company’s 12½% Senior Notes due July 1, 2003 Indenture dated as of June 29, 1994, as amended (“Indenture”). Even though the Company’s agreement is not with William Lyon, the Company has chosen to treat it as an affiliate transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company has determined that the land acquisition is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated person. The Company has delivered to the Trustee under the Indenture a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the land acquisition is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated person and the land acquisition has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Further, the Company has delivered to the Trustee under the Indenture a determination of value by a real estate appraisal firm which is of regional standing in the region in which the subject property is located and is MAI certified.

The Company purchased land for a total purchase price of $17,079,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from one of its unconsolidated joint ventures.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred reimbursable on-site labor costs of $36,000 and $47,000, respectively, for providing customer service to real estate projects developed by entities

controlled by William Lyon and William H. Lyon. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred reimbursable on-site labor costs of $77,000 and $93,000, respectively, for providing customer service to real estate projects developed by entities controlled by William Lyon and William H. Lyon, of which $22,000 was due to the Company at June 30, 2002.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred charges of $183,000 related to rent on its corporate office, from a trust of which William H. Lyon is the sole beneficiary. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred charges of $365,000 related to rent on its corporate office, from a trust of which William H. Lyon is the sole beneficiary.

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred charges of $67,000 related to the charter and use of aircraft owned by an affiliate of William Lyon. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred charges of $108,000 and $62,000, respectively, related to the charter and use of aircraft owned by an affiliate of William Lyon.

In June 2001, General William Lyon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a trust for which his son William H. Lyon is a beneficiary, purchased at par $30,000,000 of the 12¹/2% Senior Notes. William H. Lyon is also an employee and a Director of the Company. Effective in July 2001, William H. McFarland, another member of the Company’s Board of Directors, purchased at par $1,000,000 of the 12¹/2% Senior Notes. In parity with holders consenting during the consent solicitation, these Directors received a consent fee of 4% of the principal balance and consented to the amendments effected by the Company’s consent solicitation statement dated February 28, 2001.

Note 5 — Stockholders’ Equity

On September 20, 2001 the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized a program to repurchase up to 20% of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Under the plan, the stock will be purchased in the open market or privately negotiated transactions from time to time in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be as determined by the Company’s management from time to time or may be suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice, depending on market conditions and other factors they deem relevant. The repurchased shares may be held as treasury stock and used for general corporate purposes or cancelled. As of June 30, 2002, 416,400 shares had been purchased and cancelled under this program in the amount of $6,069,000.

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, certain officers and directors exercised options to purchase 59,465 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.6875 per share in accordance with the William Lyon Homes 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and 5,332 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $14.375 per share in accordance with the Company’s 1991 Stock Option Plan, as amended.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, certain officers and directors exercised options to purchase 95,671 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.6875 per share in accordance with the William Lyon Homes 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, 3,334 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.00 per share in accordance with the William Lyon Homes 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, 13,912 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share in accordance with the Company’s 1991 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and 7,998 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $14.375 per share in accordance with the Company’s 1991 Stock Option Plan, as amended.

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies

The Company enters into purchase agreements with various land sellers. In some instances, and as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s revolving credit facilities and other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers its right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties (land banking arrangements). These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the lots. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit, typically less than 20% of the total purchase price. Additionally, the Company may be subject to other penalties if lots are not acquired. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit remaining deposits and be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings. The use of these land banking arrangements is dependent on, among other things, the availability of capital to the option provider, general housing market conditions and geographic preferences. Summary information with respect to the Company’s land banking arrangements is as follows:

On a combined basis, the number of net new home orders for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 13% to 1,703 homes from 1,508 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The number of homes closed on a combined basis for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 3% to 967 homes from 1,001 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2001. On a combined basis, the backlog of homes sold but not closed as of June 30, 2002 was 1,278, up 19% from 1,074 homes a year earlier, and up 19% from 1,072 homes at March 31, 2002.

Homes in backlog are generally closed within three to six months. The dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed on a combined basis as of June 30, 2002 was $492.9 million, up 49% from $330.1 million as of June 30, 2001 and up 25% from $394.4 million as of March 31, 2002. The cancellation rate of buyers who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow at the Company’s projects was approximately 24% during 2001 and 15% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Our inventory of completed and unsold homes was 18 homes as of June 30, 2002.

The Company believes that the increase in the number of net new home orders and the decrease in the cancellation rate during the first six months of 2002, as described above, are indications of an improving economy in 2002 after the economic slow-down in the latter half of 2001 which had become more uncertain following the unprecedented and tragic events of September 11, 2001. In addition, in most of the markets in which the Company operates, the demand for housing exceeds the current supply of housing.

In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates and housing prices. Interest rates, the length of time that assets remain in inventory, and the proportion of inventory that is financed affect the Company’s interest cost. If the Company is unable to raise sales prices sufficiently to compensate for higher costs or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting prospective buyers’ ability to adequately finance home purchases, the Company’s sales, gross margins and operating results may be adversely impacted.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $129.5 million, an increase of $22.8 million, or 22%, from operating revenue of $106.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Revenue from sales of homes increased $21.7 million, or 21%, to $126.9 million in the 2002 period from $105.2 million in the 2001 period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of wholly-owned homes due to product mix to $308,000 in the 2002 period from $226,300 in the 2001 period, offset by a decrease in the number of wholly-owned homes closed to 412 in the 2002 period from 465 in the 2001 period. Management fee income increased by $0.6 million to $2.0 million in the 2002 period from $1.4 million in the 2001 period primarily due to an increase in the number of unconsolidated joint venture units closed to 150 in the 2002 period from 136 in the 2001 period and to an increase in the average sales prices for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $449,000 in the 2002 period from $429,200 in the 2001 period.

Total operating income increased from $9.2 million in the 2001 period to $9.5 million in the 2002 period. The excess of revenue from sales of homes over the related cost of sales (gross margin) decreased by $0.8 million to $16.9 million in the 2002 period from $17.7 million in the 2001 period primarily due to (i) a decrease in the number of wholly-owned homes closed to 412 homes in the 2002 period from 465 homes in the 2001 period, primarily as the result of a reduction in the average number of sales locations to 36 locations in the 2002 period from 39 locations in the 2001 period, and (ii) a decline in gross margin percentages of 3.5% to 13.3% in the 2002 period from 16.8% in the 2001 period, offset by an increase in the average sales prices of wholly-owned homes due to product mix to $308,000 in the 2002 period from $226,300 in the 2001 period. The decline in the period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of slower economic conditions experienced during the latter half of 2001. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.5 million to $5.2 million in the 2002 period from $4.7 million in the 2001 period primarily due to marketing fees paid to developers of master-planned communities. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $7.6 million in the 2002 period from $8.1 million in the 2001 period, primarily as a result of a decrease in accrued bonuses related to lower earnings. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures amounting to $3.6 million was recognized in the 2002 period, up from $3.5 million in the comparable period for 2001, primarily as a result of an increase in the

number of homes closed to 150 in the 2002 period from 136 in the 2001 period, offset by a decline in the gross margin percentages of 2.9% to 15.4% in the 2002 period from 18.3% in the 2001 period. The decline in period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of slower economic conditions experienced during the latter half of 2001.

Total interest incurred decreased $0.2 million, or 3%, from $5.8 million in the 2001 period to $5.6 million in the 2002 period primarily as a result of decreases in interest rates offset by an increase in the average principal balance of notes payable in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. All interest incurred was capitalized in the 2002 and 2001 periods.

Other income, net decreased to $0.4 million in the 2002 period from $1.6 million in the 2001 period primarily as a result of initial start-up losses realized by a golf course operation offset by increases in mortgage company operations.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had substantial net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes which were utilized to reduce taxable income during the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the reduction in the valuation allowance associated with such utilized net operating loss carryforwards, the Company’s overall effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 10.6%. At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $8.5 million, which expire in 2009. In addition, unused recognized built-in losses in the amount of $23.9 million are available to offset future income and expire between 2009 and 2011. The utilization of these losses is limited to $3.2 million of taxable income per year; however, any unused losses in any year may be carried forward for utilization in future years through 2011. The elimination during 2002 of the remaining valuation allowances for deferred tax assets reduces the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2002 from 38.3% to 25.7%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of the Company’s future taxable income and may be limited in the event of an “ownership change” under federal tax laws and regulations.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net income decreased from $9.6 million in the 2001 period to $7.0 million in the 2002 period.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $221.1 million, an increase of $40.3 million, or 22%, from operating revenue of $180.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Revenue from sales of homes increased $46.4 million, or 27%, to $217.0 million in the 2002 period from $170.6 million in the 2001 period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average sales prices of wholly-owned homes due to product mix to $304,400 in the 2002 period from $227,200 in the 2001 period offset by a decrease in the number of wholly-owned homes closed to 713 in the 2002 period from 751 in the 2001 period. Management fee income increased by $0.5 million to $3.6 million in the 2002 period from $3.1 million in the 2001 period primarily due to an increase in the average sales prices for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $461,900 in the 2002 period from $438,100 in the 2001 period.

Total operating income decreased from $15.4 million in the 2001 period to $13.1 million in the 2002 period. The excess of revenue from sales of homes over the related cost of sales (gross margin) increased by $1.8 million to $29.9 million in the 2002 period from $28.1 million in the 2001 period primarily due to an increase in the average sales prices of wholly-owned homes due to product mix to $304,400 in the 2002 period from $227,200 in the 2001 period, offset by a decline in gross margin percentages of 2.6% to 13.8% in the 2002 period from 16.4% in the 2001 period, and a decrease in the number of wholly-owned homes closed to 713 homes in the 2002 period from 751 homes in the 2001 period. The decline in the period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of slower economic conditions experienced during the latter half of 2001. The Company

recognized $7.1 million in operating revenues from lots, land and other sales (primarily two commercial land sales) in the 2001 period compared to $0.5 million in the 2002 period. The cost of sales related to such revenues decreased from $4.2 million in the 2001 period to $0.9 million in the 2002 period. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.5 million to $9.9 million in the 2002 period from $8.4 million in the 2001 period primarily due to marketing fees paid to developers of master-planned communities. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million to $15.6 million in the 2002 period from $16.9 million in the 2001 period, primarily as a result of a decrease in accrued bonuses related to lower earnings. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures amounting to $5.5 million was recognized in the 2002 period, down from $7.3 million in the comparable period for 2001, primarily as a result of a decline in gross margin percentages of 3.6% to 14.8% in the 2002 period from 18.4% in the 2001 period. The decline in period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of slower economic conditions experienced during the latter half of 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, one of the joint ventures in which the Company is a member completed a land sale to the Company for $17.1 million resulting in a profit of approximately $3.5 million, all of which was allocated to the Company's outside partner as preferred return in accordance with the joint venture agreement.

Total interest incurred was $11.2 million in both periods. All interest incurred was capitalized in the 2002 period while $0.2 million of interest incurred was expensed in the 2001 period.

Other income, net decreased to $0.5 million in the 2002 period from $2.3 million in the 2001 period primarily as a result of initial start-up losses realized by a golf course operation offset by increases in mortgage company operations.

As discussed above, the Company had substantial net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes which were utilized to reduce taxable income during the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the reduction in the valuation allowance associated with such utilized net operating loss carryforwards, the Company’s overall effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 10.5%.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net income decreased from $15.7 million in the 2001 period to $10.1 million in the 2002 period.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements principally from internally generated funds from the sales of real estate, outside borrowings and by forming new joint ventures with venture partners that provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects. The Company currently has outstanding 12¹/2% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) and maintains the following major credit facilities: secured revolving credit facilities (“Revolving Credit Facilities”) and an unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank (“Unsecured Revolving Line”). The Company also finances certain projects and land acquisitions with construction loans secured by real estate inventories, seller provided financing and land banking transactions.

The ability of the Company to meet its obligations on its indebtedness will depend to a large degree on its future performance which in turn will be subject, in part, to factors beyond its control, such as prevailing economic conditions, mortgage and other interest rates, weather, the occurrence of events such as landslides, soil subsidence and earthquakes that are uninsurable, not economically insurable or not subject to effective indemnification agreements, availability of labor and homebuilding materials, changes in governmental laws and regulations, and the availability and cost of land for future development.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2002, the outstanding balance under the Company’s Senior Notes was $70.3 million. On May 1, 2001, the Company completed a consent solicitation with respect to the Senior Notes and received consents from holders of $39.3 million of the then outstanding notes to extend the maturity date from July 1,

2001 to July 1, 2003 and to make certain amendments to the note covenants. Although the Company initially intended to accept consents from no more than 50% of holders, the Company elected to accept additional consents, as contemplated by the consent solicitation documents. The consenting holders received a consent fee of 4% of the principal balance. Subsequently, during May and June 2001, the Company also repurchased $31.4 million of the Senior Notes from non-consenting holders.

In June 2001, General William Lyon, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and a trust for which his son William H. Lyon is a beneficiary, purchased from the Company at par $30.0 million of the Senior Notes. William H. Lyon is one of the Company’s directors and an employee. Effective in July 2001, William H. McFarland, another member of the Company’s board of directors, purchased from the Company at par $1.0 million of the Senior Notes. In parity with holders consenting during the consent solicitation, these directors received a consent fee of 4% of the principal balance and consented to the amendments effected by the Company’s consent solicitation statement dated February 28, 2001.

In July 2001, the Company repaid all of the remaining Senior Notes which matured on July 1, 2001 amounting to $5.9 million.

The Senior Notes due July 1, 2003 are obligations of William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Lyon”), and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Delaware Lyon. However, William Lyon Homes, Inc. has granted liens on substantially all of its assets as security for its obligations under the Revolving Credit Facilities and other loans. Because the William Lyon Homes, Inc. guarantee is not secured, holders of the Senior Notes are effectively junior to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities with respect to such assets. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

The Senior Notes are senior obligations of Delaware Lyon and rankpari passu in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of Delaware Lyon, and senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of the Company which by its terms is subordinated to the Senior Notes.

Delaware Lyon is required to offer to repurchase certain Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase if Delaware Lyon’s consolidated tangible net worth is less than $60.0 million on the last day of any two consecutive fiscal quarters, as well as from the proceeds of certain asset sales.

Upon certain changes of control as described in the Indenture, Delaware Lyon must offer to repurchase Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The Indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts Delaware Lyon and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to, among other things: (i) the payment of dividends on and redemptions of capital stock, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of preferred stock, (iii) the creation of certain liens, (iv) consolidations or mergers or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets and (v) transactions with affiliates. These restrictions are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

As of June 30, 2002, the outstanding Senior Notes with a face value of $70.3 million were valued at approximately the face value, in the opinion of the Company’s management.

Revolving Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2002, the Company has three revolving credit facilities which have an aggregate maximum loan commitment of $215.0 million and mature at various dates. A $100.0 million revolving line of credit matures in September 2006, a $75.0 million bank revolving line of credit matures in June 2003 and a $40.0 million bank revolving line of credit initially “matures” in September 2002, after which the amounts

available for borrowing begin to reduce. Each facility is secured by first deeds of trust on real estate for the specific projects funded by each respective facility and pledges of net sale proceeds and related property. Borrowings under the facilities are limited by the availability of sufficient real estate collateral, which is determined constantly throughout the facility period. The composition of the collateral borrowing base is limited to certain parameters in the facility agreement and is based upon the lesser of the direct costs of the real estate collateral (such as land, lots under development, developed lots or homes) or a percentage of the appraised value of the collateral, which varies depending upon the stage of construction. Repayment of advances is upon the earliest of the close of escrow of individual lots and homes within the collateral pool, the maturity date of individual lots and homes within the collateral pool or the facility maturity date. Also, each credit facility includes financial covenants, which may limit the amount that may be borrowed thereunder. Outstanding advances bear interest at various rates, which approximate the prime rate. As of June 30, 2002, $132.1 million was outstanding under these credit facilities, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.912% at June 30, 2002, and the undrawn availability was $28.8 million as limited by the Company’s borrowing base calculation. The Company has provided an unsecured environmental indemnity in favor of the lender under the $75 million bank line of credit.

Under the revolving credit facilities, the Company is required to comply with a number of covenants, the most restrictive of which require the Company to maintain: (i) a tangible net worth, as defined of $120.0 million, adjusted upwards quarterly by 50% of the Company’s net income after March 31, 2002; (ii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth, each as defined, of less than 3.25 to 1.0; and (iii) minimum liquidity, as defined of at least $10.0 million. These facilities include a number of other covenants with respect to such matters as the posting of cash or letters of credit in certain circumstances, the application or deposit of excess net sales proceeds, maintenance of specified ratios, limitations on investments in joint ventures, maintenance of fixed charge coverages, stock ownership changes, and lot ownership.

Unsecured Revolving Line

Effective March 8, 2001 the Company obtained an unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank in the amount of $10.0 million. The Unsecured Revolving Line bears interest at prime plus 1% and matures in June 2003. The Unsecured Revolving Line includes financial covenants which may limit the amount which may be borrowed thereunder. As of June 30, 2002, $8.0 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Revolving Line.

Construction Notes Payable

At June 30, 2002, the Company had construction notes payable amounting to $34.1 million related to various real estate projects. The notes are due as units close or at various dates on or before June 11, 2004 and bear interest at rates of prime plus 0.25% to 14%, with a weighted-average rate of 5.860% at June 30, 2002.

Seller Financing

Another source of financing available to the Company is seller-provided financing for land acquired by the Company. At June 30, 2002, the Company had $60.6 million of notes payable outstanding related to land acquisitions for which seller financing was provided. The notes are due at various dates through July 1, 2005 and bear interest at rates ranging from prime plus 1.0% to 12.5%, with a weighted-average rate of 8.220% at June 30, 2002.

The Company has a $20.0 million revolving mortgage warehouse credit facility with a bank to fund its mortgage origination operations, $15.0 million of which is committed (lender obligated to lend if stated

conditions are satisfied and $5.0 million of which is not committed (lender advances are optional even if stated conditions are otherwise satisfied). Mortgage loans are generally held for a short period of time and are typically sold to investors within 7 to 15 days following funding. Borrowings are secured by the related mortgage loans held for sale. At June 30, 2002 the outstanding balance was $4.0 million. The facility, which has a current maturity date of June 30, 2003, also contains financial covenants requiring the Company’s mortgage company subsidiary to maintain a combined tangible net worth, as defined, of at least $1.5 million, a combined net worth, as defined, meeting or exceeding the greater of $1.5 million and 5% of combined total liabilities, as defined, and maximum liquidity, as defined, meeting or exceeding $1.0 million. This facility is non-recourse and is not guaranteed by the Company.

On July 23, 2002, the Company entered into an additional land banking arrangement for a project totaling 144 lots for a purchase price of $16.7 million. All of the lots were still under option and not purchased at that date. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the lots, but, as of July 23, 2002, would forfeit $3.3 million in deposits if the lots were not purchased. (See Note 4 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”)

Joint Venture Financing

As of June 30, 2002, the Company is a general partner or member in 13 active joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. These joint ventures are 50% or less owned by and not controlled by the Company and, accordingly, the financial statements of such joint ventures are not consolidated with the Company’s

financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Income allocations and cash distributions to the Company from the unconsolidated joint ventures are based on predetermined formulas between the Company and its joint venture partners as specified in the applicable partnership or operating agreements. See Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for condensed combined financial information for these joint ventures. Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the Company’s venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.

As of June 30, 2002, the Company’s investment in and advances to such joint ventures was $47.5 million and its venture partners’ investment in such joint ventures was $146.6 million. In addition, seven joint ventures have obtained financing from construction lenders which amounted to $74.5 million at June 30, 2002. All of the joint ventures that have obtained such financing are in the form of limited partnerships of which the Company is the general partner. While historically all liabilities of these partnerships have been satisfied out of the assets of such partnerships and while the Company believes that this will continue in the future, the Company, as general partner, is potentially responsible for all liabilities and indebtedness of these partnerships. In addition, the Company has provided unsecured environmental indemnities to some of the lenders who provide loans to the partnerships. The Company has also provided completion guarantees and repayment guarantees for some of the limited partnerships under their credit facilities. The repayment guarantees only become effective upon repayment of the Company’s outstanding 12¹/2% Senior Notes.

Some of the credit facilities contain financial covenants applicable to the Company. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, Delaware Lyon must maintain (i) a minimum tangible net worth, as defined of $120.0 million, adjusted upwards quarterly by 50% of Delaware Lyon’s net income after March 31, 2002; (ii) a ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth, each as defined, of less than 3.0 to 1.0; and (iii) minimum liquidity, as defined, of at least $10 million. A number of financial covenants apply to William Lyon Homes, Inc., including covenants requiring maintenance of a specified tangible net worth, specified financial ratios, liquidity, and cash reserves. In addition to typical events of default, some of the limited partnership facilities specify changes in ownership or management and include cross default provisions.

Assessment District Bonds

In some jurisdictions in which the Company develops and constructs property, assessment district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure improvements and fees. Such financing has been an important part of financing master-planned communities due to the long-term nature of the financing, favorable interest rates when compared to the Company’s other sources of funds and the fact that the bonds are sold, administered and collected by the relevant government entity. As a landowner benefited by the improvements, the Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When the Company’s homes or other properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the responsibility for the related assessments.

Cash Flows — Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $79.9 million in the 2002 period from $44.5 million in the 2001 period. The change was primarily as a result of increased expenditures in real estate inventories in the 2002 period.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $17.8 million in the 2002 period from $8.2 million in the 2001 period. The change was primarily as a result of increased net cash received from unconsolidated joint ventures and mortgage notes receivable in the 2002 period.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $56.3 million in the 2002 period from $51.7 million in the 2001 period primarily as a result of increased net borrowings on notes payable, offset by the purchase and retirement of the Company’s common stock.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had substantial net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes which were utilized to reduce taxable income during the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the reduction in the valuation allowance associated with such utilized net operating loss carryforwards, the Company’s overall effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 10.6% and 10.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $8.5 million which expire in 2009. In addition, unused recognized built-in losses in the amount of $23.9 million are available to offset future income and expire between 2009 and 2011. The utilization of these losses is limited to $3.2 million of taxable income per year; however, any unused losses in any year may be carried forward for utilization in future years through 2011. The elimination during 2002 of the remaining valuation allowances for deferred tax assets reduces the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2002 from 38.3% to 25.7%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited in the event of an “ownership change” under Federal tax laws and regulations.

Although the Company’s certificate of incorporation includes transfer restrictions intended to help reduce the risk of an ownership change, transactions could have occurred or may potentially occur that would severely limit the Company’s ability to use the tax benefits associated with its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company learned that one stockholder unknowingly violated the transfer restrictions. The stockholder divested itself of the requisite number of shares in February and March, 2002 so that it was no longer out of compliance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

Neither the amount of the net operating loss carryforwards nor the amount of limitation on such carryforwards claimed by the Company has been audited or otherwise validated by the Internal Revenue Service, and it could challenge either amount the Company has calculated. It is possible that legislation or regulations will be adopted that would limit the Company’s ability to use the tax benefits associated with the current tax net operating loss carryforwards.

Inflation

The Company’s revenues and profitability may be affected by increased inflation rates and other general economic conditions. In periods of high inflation, demand for the Company’s homes may be reduced by increases in mortgage interest rates. Further, the Company’s profits will be affected by its ability to recover through higher sales prices increases in the costs of land, construction, labor and administrative expenses. The Company’s ability to raise prices at such times will depend upon demand and other competitive factors.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s transactions with related parties.

Critical Accounting Polices

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reported period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those which impact its most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A detailed discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Management still believes that all of the critical accounting policies disclosed therein are the most critical.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statement No. 137 and Statement No. 138 (collectively, “Statement No. 133”), which is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Statement No. 133 requires the Company 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, a change in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Statement No. 133 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position for the period ended June 30, 2002.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations (“Statement No. 141”). This Statement addresses financial

accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations” and Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 38,Accounting for PreacquisitionContingencies of Purchased Enterprises. All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The Company will adopt Statement No. 141 for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement No. 142”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rule, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to impairment tests in accordance with Statement No. 142. The Company performed its first required annual impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and determined that goodwill was not impaired. As of June 30, 2002, there have been no indicators of impairment related to the Company’s goodwill.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement No. 144”). This pronouncement supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of (“Statement No. 121”) and a portion of APB Opinion No. 30,Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (“APB No. 30”), and was required to be adopted on January 1, 2002. Statement No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of Statement No. 121 as it relates to assets to be held and used and assets to be sold, but adds provisions for assets to be disposed of other than by sale. It also changes the accounting for the disposal of a segment under APB No. 30 by requiring the operations of any assets with their own identifiable cash flows that are disposed of or held for sale to be removed from operating income and reported as discontinued operations. Treating such assets as discontinued operations would also require the reclassification of the operations of any such assets for any prior periods presented. The Company’s adoption of Statement No. 144 has not had a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections (“Statement No. 145”). Statement No. 145 prevents gains or losses on extinguishment of debt not meeting the criteria of APB 30 to be treated as extraordinary. Statement No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, Statement No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 44,Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2002. Upon adoption of Statement No. 145, the Company’s previously reported extraordinary items related to gain from retirement of debt will be reclassified and not reported as extraordinary items.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued exposure drafts on accounting for special purpose entities (“SPE’s”) and guarantees that, if adopted, could impact the accounting treatment of certain of the Company’s joint venture and land banking arrangements by requiring the consolidation of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain of these arrangements. These changes could have a corresponding effect on various of the Company’s financial ratios and other financial and operational indicators. The Company is not able to predict the outcome of the proposed interpretations or rule changes.

Forward Looking Statements

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and some oral statements by Company officials to securities analysts and stockholders during presentations about the Company are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “hopes”, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future Company actions, which may be provided by management are also forward-looking statements as defined in the Act. Forward-looking statements are based upon expectations and projections about future events and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties about, among other things, the Company, economic and market factors and the homebuilding industry.

Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The principal factors that could cause the Company’s actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions either nationally or in regions in which the Company operates (including, but not limited to changes directly or indirectly related to the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and thereafter), whether an ownership change occurs which results in the limitation of the Company’s ability to utilize the tax benefits associated with its net operating loss carryforward, changes in home mortgage interest rates, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations of those principles, changes in prices of homebuilding materials, labor shortages, adverse weather conditions, the occurrence of events such as landslides, soil subsidence and earthquakes that are uninsurable, not economically insurable or not subject to effective indemnification agreements, changes in governmental laws and regulations, whether the Company is able to refinance the outstanding balances of Senior Notes at their maturity, the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects and the availability and cost of land for future growth.
