NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

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, 2002.

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, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

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, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates in the near-term.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures created after January 31, 2003 which have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). Investments in joint ventures in which the Company has a 50% or less voting or economic interest (and thus are not controlled by the Company) and which were created prior to February 1, 2003 and investments in joint ventures which have not been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary 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 is defined by the Company as operating revenue less operating costs plus equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. Accordingly, operating income excludes certain expenses 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, 2002.

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. As of June 30, 2003, the Company believes there have been no indicators of impairment related to the Company’s goodwill.

A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales at the time the home sale is recorded. The Company generally reserves one percent of the sales price of its homes against the possibility of future charges relating to its one-year limited warranty and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during the six months ended June 30 are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,
	2003			2002
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	4,287		$	2,598
Warranty provision during period		1,704			1,855
Warranty settlements during period		(2,733	)		(1,932	)

Warranty liability, end of period	$	3,258		$	2,521

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $5,231,000 and $8,466,000 respectively, 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 reduced the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 39.3% to 27.0%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited under certain circumstances.

Earnings per share amounts for all periods presented conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are based on 9,823,507 and 10,026,746 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are based on 9,781,937 and 9,974,030 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. 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.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had stock plans, which are described more fully in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net

income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“Statement No. 123”) to stock-based employee plans (in thousands, except per common share amounts):

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees ofIndebtedness of Others(“Interpretation No. 45”). The disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective as of December 31, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. In the case of a guarantee issued as part of a transaction with multiple elements with an unrelated party, Interpretation No. 45 generally requires the recording at inception of the guarantee of a liability equal to the guarantee’s estimated fair value. In the absence of observable transactions for identical or similar guarantees, estimated fair value will likely be based on the expected present value which is the sum of the estimated probability-weighted range of contingent payments under the guarantee arrangement. The recording of a liability would have a corresponding effect on various of the Company’s financial ratios and other financial and operational indicators. The application of Interpretation No. 45 beginning on January 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements with respect to any guarantees issued or modified by the Company after December 31, 2002. See Notes 3, 4 and 7 for additional information related to the Company’s guarantees.

Note 2 — Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(“Interpretation No. 46”) which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Under Interpretation No. 46, arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as VIEs. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to arrangements created after January 31, 2003 and, with respect to arrangements created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation will apply to the Company beginning on July 1, 2003. Arrangements entered into subsequent to January 31, 2003 have been evaluated under Interpretation No. 46 and, if applicable, accounted for in accordance with Interpretation No. 46.

WILLIAM LYON HOMES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

Under Interpretation No. 46, a VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity through voting or similar rights, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or residual returns of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

Based on the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, the Company has concluded that under certain circumstances when the Company (i) enters into option agreements for the purchase of land or lots from an entity and pays a non-refundable deposit, (ii) enters into land banking arrangements (see Note 7) or (iii) enters into arrangements with a financial partner for the formation of joint ventures which engage in homebuilding and land development activities, a VIE may be created under condition (ii) (b) or (c) of the previous paragraph. The Company may be deemed to have provided subordinated financial support, which refers to variable interests that will absorb some or all of an entity’s expected losses if they occur. For each VIE created, the Company will compute expected losses and residual returns based on the probability of future cash flows as outlined in Interpretation No. 46. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the assets, liabilities and operations of the VIE will be consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.

Based on the Company’s analysis of arrangements created after January 31, 2003, no VIEs have been created for the period from February 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003 with respect to option agreements or land banking arrangements as identified under clauses (i) and (ii) of the previous paragraph. At June 30, 2003, three joint ventures created after January 31, 2003 have been determined to be VIEs under Interpretation No. 46 in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these three joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003 and for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Supplemental consolidating financial information of the Company, specifically including information for the three joint ventures which have been determined to be VIEs under Interpretation No. 46 and for two joint ventures which were previously consolidated (see Note 3), is presented below to allow investors to determine the nature of assets held and the operations of the consolidated entities. Investments in consolidated joint ventures are presented using the equity method of accounting. Consolidated real estate inventories include land deposits under option agreements or land banking arrangements (see Note 7) of $33,271,000 and $37,443,000 at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

The three joint ventures which have been determined to be VIEs are each engaged in homebuilding and land development activities which will result in an estimated total of 265 homes at completion. The homes are expected to be constructed and sold in phases over a two-to-three year period with approximate base sales prices ranging from $390,000 to $473,000. No homes have closed as of June 30, 2003. These joint ventures have not obtained construction financing from outside lenders, but are financing their activities through equity contributions from each of the joint venture partners. Creditors of these VIE’s have no recourse against the general credit of the Company. Income allocations and cash distributions to the Company are based on predetermined formulas between the Company and the joint ventures as specified in the applicable partnership or operating agreements. The Company generally receives, after partners’ priority returns and return of partners’ capital, approximately 50% of the profits and cash flows from the joint ventures.

The Company has not yet determined the anticipated impact of adopting Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements existing as of January 31, 2003. However, such adoption will likely require the consolidation in the Company’s third quarter financial statements of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain existing joint ventures, as well as option agreements or land banking arrangements. Because the Company already recognizes its proportionate share of joint venture earnings and losses under the equity method of accounting, the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not affect the Company’s consolidated net income.

Note 3 — 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. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures created after January 31, 2003 which have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company has a 50% or less voting or economic interest (and thus are not controlled by the Company) and which were created prior to February 1, 2003 and the financial statements of joint ventures which have not been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Condensed combined financial information of these unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is summarized as follows:

Income allocations and cash distributions to the Company are based on predetermined formulas between the Company and the joint venture partners as specified in the applicable partnership or operating agreements. The Company generally receives, after partners’ priority returns and return of partners’ capital, approximately 50% of the profits and cash flows from joint ventures.

Certain joint ventures have obtained financing from construction lenders which amounted to $132,437,000 at June 30, 2003. As common practice required by commercial lenders, all of the joint ventures that have obtained financing are obligated to repay loans to a level such that they do not exceed certain required loan-to-value or loan-to-cost ratios. Each lender has the right to test the ratios by appraising the property securing the loan at the time. Either a decrease in the value of the property securing the loan or an increase in the construction costs could trigger this pay down obligation. The term of the obligation corresponds with the term of the loan and is limited to the outstanding loan balance. 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 for some of the limited partnerships under their credit facilities.

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, one of the joint ventures in which the Company is a general partner completed a land sale to the Company for $8,440,000 resulting in no gain or loss to the joint venture. 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, one of the Company’s existing unconsolidated joint ventures (“Existing Venture”) was restructured such that the Company is required to purchase the 538 lots owned by the Existing Venture on a specified takedown basis through October 15, 2003 at a purchase price equal to the future cost of such lots including a 20% preferred return on invested capital to the outside partner of the Existing Venture (estimated to be $178,578,000, including an estimated preferred return of $36,911,000). During the year ended December 31, 2002, the first 242 lots were purchased from the Existing Venture for $64,468,000, which includes a $12,493,000 preferred return to the outside partner of the Existing Venture. The 242 lots were purchased by a newly formed joint venture (“New Venture”) between the Company and an outside partner. The Company is required to purchase the 242 lots owned by the New Venture on a specified takedown basis through May 15, 2004 at a purchase price equal to $74,210,000 plus a 13¹/2% preferred return on invested capital to the outside partner of the New Venture. Because the Company is required to purchase the lots owned by both the Existing Venture and the New Venture, and the Company now controls both ventures, the financial statements of both ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003, including real estate inventories of $80,110,000 and minority interest in consolidated joint ventures of $66,974,000. During the year ended December 31, 2002, an additional 44 lots were purchased from the Existing Venture for $19,765,000, which included a $3,953,000 preferred return to the outside partner of the Existing Venture. The 44 lots were purchased through a land banking arrangement (see Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s land banking arrangements). During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company purchased 74 lots from the New Venture for $23,242,000, all of which was paid to the outside partner as a return of capital. The intercompany sales and related profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary William Lyon Homes Inc., a California corporation, (“California Lyon”), and two unaffiliated parties formed a series of limited liability companies (“Development LLCs”) for the purpose of acquiring three parcels of land totaling 236 acres in Irvine and Tustin, California (formerly part of the Tustin Marine Corps Air Station) and developing the land into 1,910 residential homesites. The development process is anticipated to be completed by mid 2004 at which time California Lyon will be required under certain specific conditions to purchase approximately one half in value of the lots. California Lyon has an indirect, minority interest in the Development LLCs, which are the borrowers under two secured lines of credit. Advances under the lines of credit are to be used to pay acquisition and development costs and expenses. The lines of credit are secured by deeds of trust on the real property and improvements thereon owned by the Development LLCs, as well as pledges of all net sale proceeds, related contracts and other ancillary property. The maximum commitment amounts under the lines of credit are limited by specified agreed loan-to-value ratios. The maximum commitment amount under the line of credit that closed in January 2003 (“First Line of Credit”) is $35,000,000. Subject to specified terms and conditions, California Lyon and the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLC that is the borrower under the First Line of Credit, including certain affiliates of such other members, each (i) have guaranteed to the bank the repayment of the Development LLC’s indebtedness under the First Line of Credit, completion of certain infrastructure improvements to the land, payment of necessary loan remargining obligations, and the Development LLC’s performance under its environmental indemnity and covenants, and (ii) have agreed to take all actions and pay all amounts to assure that the Development LLC is in compliance with financial covenants. The maximum commitment amount under the line of credit that closed in March 2003 (“Second Line of Credit”) is $105,000,000. Although the guarantee obligations of the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLC that is the borrower under the Second Line of Credit, and certain of their affiliates, are similar in nature to those under the First Line of Credit, California Lyon does not have any such guarantee obligations to the banks under the Second Line of Credit. However, California Lyon has posted letters of credit equal to approximately $24,600,000 to secure its obligations as well as the Development LLCs’ obligations to the banks under both lines of credit. Further, California Lyon and the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLCs,

WILLIAM LYON HOMES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

including certain affiliates of such other members, have entered into reimbursement and indemnity agreements to allocate any liability arising from each line of credit, including the related guarantees and letters of credit. California Lyon’s parent company, William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Lyon”) has entered into joinder agreements to be jointly and severally liable for California Lyon’s obligations under the reimbursement and indemnity agreements. While the reimbursement and indemnity agreements provide that liability is generally allocated in accordance with the members’ percentage interests in the Development LLCs’ distributions, Delaware Lyon and California Lyon may be liable for the full amount of the obligations guaranteed to the banks in certain specified circumstances, such as those involving the default, willful misconduct or gross negligence of California Lyon. As of June 30, 2003 the outstanding indebtedness under the First Line of Credit was $32,500,000 and the outstanding indebtedness under the Second Line of Credit was $98,400,000.

Note 4 — 10³/4% Senior Notes

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation (“California Lyon”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of $250,000,000 of Senior Notes which became effective on March 12, 2003. The offering closed on March 17, 2003 and was fully subscribed and issued. The notes were issued at a price of 98.493% to the public, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $246,233,000. The purchase price reflected a discount to yield 11% under the effective interest method and the notes have been reflected net of the unamortized discount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The 10³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 are senior unsecured obligations of California Lyon and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Lyon”), which is the parent company of California Lyon, and all of its existing and certain of its future restricted subsidiaries. The notes and the guarantees rank senior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ debt that is expressly subordinated to the notes and the guarantees, but are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ senior secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness. At June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $133,184,000 of secured indebtedness and approximately $87,691,000 of additional secured indebtedness available to be borrowed under the Company’s credit facilities, as limited by the Company’s borrowing base formulas. Interest on the 10³/4% Senior Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2003.

Except as set forth in the Indenture governing the 10³/4% Senior Notes (“Indenture”), the 10³/4% Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to April 1, 2008. Thereafter, the 10³/4% Senior Notes will be redeemable at the option of California Lyon, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, on or before April 1, 2006, California Lyon may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the proceeds of qualified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Upon a change of control as described in the Indenture, California Lyon may be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

If the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth falls below $75,000,000 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, California Lyon will be required to make an offer to purchase up to 10% of the notes originally issued at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of Delaware Lyon and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase its stock; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) incur liens; (vi) enter into agreements restricting the ability of Delaware Lyon’s restricted subsidiaries (other than California Lyon) to pay dividends; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (ix) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of Delaware Lyon’s or California Lyon’s assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as described in the Indenture.

The foregoing summary is not a complete description of the terms of the 10³/4% Senior Notes and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

A portion of the net proceeds of the Company’s offering of 10³/4% Senior Notes (see Note 4) was used to repay all of the Company’s 12¹/2% Senior Notes, including $30,000,000 in principal amount held by General William Lyon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the trust of which his son, William H. Lyon, is the sole beneficiary, $2,323,000 held by Wade H. Cable, President and Chief Operating Officer, and $1,000,000 held by William H. McFarland, a director.

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 provide 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 $2,073,000 has been paid through June 30, 2003. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company did not purchase any lots under this agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company purchased 13 lots under this agreement for a total purchase price of $211,000. This land acquisition qualified 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 (“Old Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Old 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 delivered to the Trustee under the Old 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 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, through a land banking arrangement, 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 June 30, 2003, 58 lots have been purchased under this agreement for a purchase price of $4,861,000. Had the Company purchased the property directly, the acquisition would have qualified as an affiliate transaction under the Old 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 Old Indenture, the Company 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 delivered to the Trustee under the Old 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 had been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Further, the Company delivered to the Trustee under the Old 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 offers home mortgage loans to its employees and directors through its mortgage company subsidiary, Duxford Financial, Inc. These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features and are sold to investors typically within 7 to 15 days.

Note 6 — 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, 2003, 1,018,400 shares had been purchased and retired under this program in the amount of $19,570,000. No shares were purchased under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Note 7 — 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, thereby 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 equal to 20% or less 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 deposits and penalties related to such land banking projects have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. A recently adopted accounting interpretation could require the consolidation of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain of the Company’s joint venture and land banking arrangements (see Notes 2 and 3 ). 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 as of June 30, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

Total number of land banking projects		6

Total number of lots		1,149

Total purchase price	$	108,958

Balance of lots still under option and not purchased:
Number of lots		871

Purchase price	$	81,976

Forfeited deposits and penalties if lots were not purchased	$	20,298

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

In some jurisdictions in which the Company develops and constructs property, assessment district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure improvements. As a land owner benefited by these improvements, the Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers assume the responsibility for the related assessments. Assessment district bonds issued after May 21, 1992 are accounted for under the provisions of Statement 91-10, “Accounting for Special Assessment and Tax Increment Financing Entities” issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board on May 21, 1992, and recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, if the amounts are fixed and determinable.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $35,242,000 of outstanding irrevocable standby letters of credit to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain land banking arrangements, joint venture agreements and other contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. Letters of credit totaling $9,289,000 related to land banking arrangements are recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The beneficiary may draw upon these letters of credit in the event of a contractual default by the Company relating to each respective obligation. These letters of credit have a stated term of 12 months and have varying maturities throughout 2004, at which time the Company may be required to renew the letters of credit to coincide with the term of the respective arrangement.

The Company has provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders, joint venture partners and land sellers. In each case, the Company has performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks, including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate the Company to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, the Company could have recourse against other previous owners.

See Notes 3 and 4 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements.

On a combined basis, the number of net new home orders for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased slightly to 1,705 homes from 1,703 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The number of homes closed on a combined basis for the six months ended June 30, 2003, decreased 14.7% to 825 homes from 967 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2002. On a combined basis, the backlog of homes sold but not closed as of June 30, 2003 was 1,507, up 17.9% from 1,278 homes a year earlier, and up 41.0% from 1,069 homes at March 31, 2003.

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, 2003 was $567.9 million, up 15.2% from $492.9 million as of June 30, 2002 and up 37.4% from $413.4 million as of March 31, 2003. The cancellation rate of buyers who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow at the Company’s projects was approximately 19% during 2002 and 16% during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The inventory of completed and unsold homes was 9 homes as of June 30, 2003.

While the Company experienced an 8% reduction in the average number of sales locations to 37 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 40 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company’s number of new home orders per average sales location increased to 46.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 42.6 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The reduction in the average number of sales

locations was caused primarily by (i) accelerated sales and close-outs at certain of the Company projects and (ii) delays in land acquisitions and development of certain projects in previous periods as a result of the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and the economic slow-down in the months thereafter. In many of the markets in which the Company operates, the demand for housing exceeds the current supply of housing. At June 30, 2003 the Company had 46 sales locations.

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, 2003 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $158.7 million, an increase of $29.2 million, or 22.5%, from operating revenue of $129.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Revenue from sales of homes increased $12.8 million, or 10.1%, to $139.7 million in the 2003 period from $126.9 million in the 2002 period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of consolidated homes to $379,600 in the 2003 period from $308,000 in the 2002 period, offset by a decrease in the number of consolidated homes closed to 368 in the 2003 period from 412 in the 2002 period. Revenue from sales of lots, land and other increased to $17.0 million in the 2003 period from $0.5 million in the 2002 period due to the bulk sale of land in one of the Company’s developments. Management fee income increased by $0.1 million to $2.1 million in the 2003 period from $2.0 million in the 2002 period primarily due to an increase in the average sales prices for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $492,800 in the 2003 period from $449,000 in the 2002 period. The increase in the average sales price of homes closed both in consolidated projects and unconsolidated joint venture projects was due primarily to (i) price appreciation in certain projects and (ii) a change in product mix.

Total operating income increased to $22.6 million in the 2003 period from $9.5 million in the 2002 period. The excess of revenue from sales of homes over the related cost of sales (gross margin) increased by $7.3 million to $24.2 million in the 2003 period from $16.9 million in the 2002 period primarily due to (i) an increase in the average sales prices of consolidated homes to $379,600 in the 2003 period from $308,000 in the 2002 period, and (ii) an increase in gross margin percentages to 17.4% in the 2003 period from 13.3% in the 2002 period, offset by a decrease in the number of consolidated homes closed to 368 homes in the 2003 period from 412 homes in the 2002 period. The increase in the period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of improved economic conditions experienced since the first quarter of 2002. The excess of revenue from the sales of lots, land and other over the related cost of sales (gross margin) increased by $6.4 million to $6.2 million in the 2003 period primarily due to the bulk sale of land in one of the Company’s developments. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.0 million to $6.2 million in the 2003 period from $5.2 million in the 2002 period primarily due to increases in advertising and sales commissions. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.7 million to $11.3 million in the 2003 period from $7.6 million in the 2002 period, primarily as a result of an increase in accrued bonuses related to higher earnings and increases in salaries and related employee benefits. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures amounting to $7.6 million was recognized in the 2003 period, up from $3.6 million in the comparable period for 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in the average sales prices for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $492,800 in the 2003 period from $449,000 in the 2002 period and an increase in the gross margin percentages to 23.0% in the 2003 period from 15.4% in the 2002 period, offset by a decrease in the number of homes closed to 142 in the 2003 period from 150 in the 2002 period. The increase in period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of improved economic conditions experienced since the first quarter of 2002.

Total interest incurred increased to $12.4 million in the 2003 period from $5.6 million in the 2002 period primarily as a result of an increase in the average principal balance of debt outstanding in the 2003 period

compared to the 2002 period and an increase in the average balance outstanding under land banking arrangements in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. All interest incurred was capitalized in the 2003 and 2002 periods.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $5.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, 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 portion of such permitted amount of the loss utilization that is not used in any year may be carried forward to increase permitted utilization in future years through 2011. The elimination during 2002 of the remaining valuation allowances for deferred tax assets reduced the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 39.3% to 27.0%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited under certain circumstances.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net income increased to $13.8 million in the 2003 period from $7.0 million in the 2002 period.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $231.2 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 4.6%, from operating revenue of $221.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Revenue from sales of homes decreased $6.9 million, or 3.2%, to $210.1 million in the 2003 period from $217.0 million in the 2002 period. This decrease was primarily due to an decrease in the number of consolidated homes closed to 552 in the 2003 period from 713 in the 2002 period, offset by an increase in the average sales price of consolidated homes to $380,600 in the 2003 period from $304,400 in the 2002 period. Revenues from sales of lots, land and other increased to $17.0 million in the 2003 period from $0.5 million in the 2002 period due to the bulk sale of land in one of the Company’s developments. Management fee income increased by $0.5 million to $4.1 million in the 2003 period from $3.6 million in the 2002 period primarily due to an increase in the number of unconsolidated joint venture homes closed to 273 in the 2003 period from 254 in the 2002 period, along with an increase in the average sales price for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $510,400 in the 2003 period from $461,900 in the 2002 period. The increase in the average sales price of homes closed both in consolidated projects and joint venture projects was due primarily to (i) price appreciation in certain projects and (ii) a change in product mix.

Total operating income increased to $30.2 million in the 2003 period from $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 $6.4 million to $36.3 million in the 2003 period from $29.9 million in the 2002 period primarily due to (i) an increase in the average sales price of consolidated homes to $380,600 in the 2003 period from $304,400 in the 2002 period, and (ii) an increase in gross margin percentage to 17.3% in the 2003 period from 13.8% in the 2002 period, offset by a decrease in the number of consolidated homes closed to 552 in the 2003 period from 713 in the 2002 period. The increase in the period-over-period gross margin percentage reflects the impact of improved economic conditions experienced since the first quarter of 2002. The excess of revenue from the sales of lots, land and other over the related cost of sales (gross margin) increased by $6.5 million to $6.2 million in the 2003 period primarily due to the bulk sale of land in one of the Company’s projects. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.4 million to $10.3 million in the 2003 period from $9.9 million in the 2002 period primarily due to model operation costs. General and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million to $21.2 million in the 2003 period from $15.6 million in the 2002 period, primarily as a result of an increase in accrued bonuses related to higher earnings and increases in salaries and related employee benefits. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures amounting to $15.1 million was recognized in the 2003 period, up from $5.5 million in the comparable period for 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of homes closed to 273 in the 2003 period from 254 in the 2002 period, an increase in the average sales price for homes closed in the unconsolidated joint ventures to $510,400 in the 2003 period from $461,900 in the 2002 period, and an increase in the gross margin percentage to 22.7% in the 2003 period from 14.8% in the 2002 period. The increase in period-over-period gross

margin percentage reflects the impact of improved economic conditions experienced since the first quarter of 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, one of the unconsolidated 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 increased to $22.2 million in the 2003 period from $11.2 million in the 2002 primarily as a result of an increase in the average principal balance of debt outstanding in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period and an increase in the average balance outstanding under land banking arrangements in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. All interest incurred was capitalized in the 2003 and 2002 periods.

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, 2002. 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, 2002 was approximately 25.7%.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net income increased to $18.7 million in the 2003 period from $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 10³/4% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) and maintains secured revolving credit facilities (“Revolving Credit Facilities”).

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 either nationally or in regions in which the Company operates, the outbreak of war or other hostilities involving the United States, mortgage and other interest rates, changes in prices of homebuilding materials, 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, the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects, and the availability and cost of land for future development.

Senior Notes

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation, (“California Lyon”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of $250.0 million of Senior Notes which became effective on March 12, 2003. The offering closed on March 17, 2003 and was fully subscribed and issued. The notes were issued at a price of 98.493% to the public, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $246.2 million. The purchase price reflected a discount to yield 11% under the effective interest method and the notes have been reflected net of the unamortized discount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

indebtedness. At June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $133.2 million of secured indebtedness and approximately $87.7 million of additional secured indebtedness available to be borrowed under the Company’s credit facilities, as limited by the Company’s borrowing base formulas. Interest on the 10³/4% Senior Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2003.

If the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth falls below $75.0 million for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, California Lyon will be required to make an offer to purchase up to 10% of the notes originally issued at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Revolving Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2003, the Company has three revolving credit facilities which have an aggregate maximum loan commitment of $275.0 million and mature at various dates. A $150.0 million revolving line of credit matures in September 2006, a $75.0 million bank revolving line of credit matures in June 2004 and a $50.0 million bank revolving line of credit initially “matures” in September 2004, 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 loans for 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, 2003, $133.2 million was outstanding under these credit facilities, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.212%, and the undrawn availability was $87.7 million as limited by the borrowing base formulas. Delaware Lyon has guaranteed on an unsecured basis California Lyon’s obligations under certain of the revolving credit facilities and has provided an unsecured environmental indemnity in favor of the lender under the $75.0 million bank line of credit. The Company is required to comply with a number of covenants under these revolving credit facilities.

Revolving Mortgage Warehouse Credit Facility

The Company, through its subsidiary and one of its unconsolidated joint ventures, has a $20.0 million revolving mortgage warehouse credit facility with a bank to fund its mortgage origination operations, $10.0 million of which is committed (lender obligated to lend if stated conditions are satisfied) and $10.0 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, 2003 the outstanding balance was $5.7 million. The facility, which has a current maturity date of May 31, 2004, also contains financial covenants requiring the borrowers to maintain a combined net worth, as defined, meeting or exceeding the greater of $1.5 million and 5% of combined total liabilities, as defined, and liquidity, as defined, meeting or exceeding $1.5 million. This facility is non-recourse and is not guaranteed by the Company.

Land Banking Arrangements

The Company enters into purchase agreements with various land sellers. In some instances, and as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby 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 the Company’s 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 equal to 20% or less 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 deposits and penalties related to such land banking projects have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. A recently adopted accounting interpretation could require the consolidation of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain of the Company’s joint venture and land banking arrangements. See “Recently Issued Accounting Standards.” 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 as of June 30, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

Total number of land banking projects		6

Total number of lots		1,149

Total purchase price	$	108,958

Balance of lots still under option and not purchased:
Number of lots		871

Purchase price	$	81,976

Forfeited deposits and penalties if lots are not purchased	$	20,298

Joint Venture Financing

As of June 30, 2003, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were general partners or members in 20 active joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. As described more fully in “Recently Issued Accounting Standards”, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“Interpretation No. 46”) three joint ventures created after January 31, 2003 have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these three joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003 and for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the anticipated impact of adopting Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements existing as of January 31, 2003. However, such adoption may require the consolidation in the Company’s third quarter financial statements of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain existing homebuilding and land development joint ventures. Because the Company already recognizes its proportionate share of joint venture earnings and losses under the equity method of accounting, the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not affect the Company’s consolidated net income. The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company has a 50% or less voting or economic interest (and thus are not controlled by the Company) and which were created prior to February 1, 2003, and the financial statements of joint ventures which have not been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary 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. The Company generally receives, after partners’ priority returns and returns of partners’ capital, approximately 50% of the profits and cash flows from joint ventures. See Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for condensed combined financial information for the three joint ventures whose financial statements have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. See Note 3 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for condensed combined financial information for the unconsolidated joint ventures. Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s investment in and advances to the unconsolidated joint ventures was $55.9 million and the venture partners’ investment in such joint ventures was $71.3 million. Eleven of these joint ventures are in the form of limited partnerships of which the Company or one of its subsidiaries are general

partner. As of June 30, 2003, these joint ventures had obtained financing from construction lenders which amounted to $132.4 million of outstanding indebtedness. 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 or one of its subsidiaries, as general partner, is potentially responsible for all liabilities and indebtedness of these partnerships. In addition, Delaware Lyon has provided unsecured environmental indemnities to some of the lenders who provide loans to the partnerships. Delaware Lyon has also provided completion guarantees for some of the limited partnerships under their credit facilities.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, one of the Company’s existing unconsolidated joint ventures (“Existing Venture”) was restructured such that the Company is required to purchase the 538 lots owned by the Existing Venture on a specified takedown basis through October 15, 2003 at a purchase price equal to the future cost of such lots including a 20% preferred return on invested capital to the outside partner of the Existing Venture (estimated to be $178.6 million, including an estimated preferred return of $36.9 million). During the year ended December 31, 2002, the first 242 lots were purchased from the Existing Venture for $64.5 million, which includes a $12.5 million preferred return to the outside partner of the Existing Venture. The 242 lots were purchased by a newly formed joint venture (“New Venture”) between the Company and an outside partner. The Company is required to purchase the 242 lots owned by the New Venture on a specified takedown basis through May 15, 2004 at a purchase price equal to $74.2 million plus a 13¹/2% preferred return on invested capital to the outside partner of the New Venture. Because the Company is required to purchase the lots owned by both the Existing Venture and the New Venture, and the Company now controls both ventures, the financial statements of both ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003, including real estate inventories of $80.1 million and minority interest in consolidated joint ventures of $67.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2002, an additional 44 lots were purchased from the Existing Venture for $19.8 million, which includes a $4.0 million preferred return to the outside partner of the Existing Venture. The 44 lots were purchased through a land banking arrangement. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company purchased 74 lots from the New Venture for $23.2 million, all of which was paid to the outside partner as a return of capital. The intercompany sales and related profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, California Lyon and two unaffiliated parties formed a series of limited liability companies (“Development LLCs”) for the purpose of acquiring three parcels of land totaling 236 acres in Irvine and Tustin, California (formerly part of the Tustin Marine Corps Air Station) and developing the land into 1,910 residential homesites. The development process is anticipated to be completed by mid 2004 at which time California Lyon will be required under certain specific conditions to purchase approximately one half in value of the lots. California Lyon has an indirect, minority interest in the Development LLCs, which are the borrowers under two secured lines of credit. Advances under the lines of credit are to be used to pay acquisition and development costs and expenses. The lines of credit are secured by deeds of trust on the real property and improvements thereon owned by the Development LLCs, as well as pledges of all net sale proceeds, related contracts and other ancillary property. The maximum commitment amounts under the lines of credit are limited by specified agreed debt-to-value ratios. The maximum commitment amount under the line of credit that closed in January 2003 (“First Line of Credit”) is $35.0 million. Subject to specified terms and conditions, California Lyon and the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLC that is the borrower under the First Line of Credit, including certain affiliates of such other members, each (i) have guaranteed to the bank the repayment of the Development LLC’s indebtedness under the First Line of Credit, completion of certain infrastructure improvements to the land, payment of necessary loan remargining obligations, and the Development LLC’s performance under its environmental indemnity and covenants, and (ii) have agreed to take all actions and pay all amounts to assure that the Development LLC is in compliance with financial covenants. The maximum commitment amount under the line of credit that closed in March 2003 (“Second Line of Credit”) is $105.0 million. Although the guarantee obligations of the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLC that is the borrower under the Second Line of Credit, and certain of their affiliates, are similar in nature to those under the First Line of Credit, California Lyon does not have any such guarantee obligations to the banks under the Second Line of Credit. However, California Lyon has posted letters of credit equal to approximately $24.6 million to secure its obligations as well as the Development LLCs’

obligations to the bank under both lines of credit. Further, California Lyon and the other direct and indirect members of the Development LLCs, including certain affiliates of such other members, have entered into reimbursement and indemnity agreements to allocate any liability arising from each line of credit, including the related guarantees and letters of credit. Delaware Lyon has entered into joinder agreements to be jointly and severally liable for California Lyon’s obligations under the reimbursement and indemnity agreements. While the reimbursement and indemnity agreements provide that liability is generally allocated in accordance with the members’ percentage interests in the Development LLCs’ distributions, Delaware Lyon and California Lyon may be liable for the full amount of the obligations guaranteed to the banks in certain specified circumstances, such as those involving the default, willful misconduct or gross negligence of California Lyon. As of June 30, 2003, the outstanding indebtedness under the First Line of Credit was $32.5 million and the outstanding indebtedness under the Second Line of Credit was $98.4 million.

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. See Note 6 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Cash Flows — Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 to Six Months Ended

June 30, 2002

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $179.1 million in the 2003 period from $79.9 million in the 2002 period. The change was primarily as a result of increased expenditures in real estate inventories in the 2003 period.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $37.2 million in the 2003 period from $17.8 million in the 2002 period. The change was primarily as a result of increased net cash received from unconsolidated joint ventures in the 2003 period.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $136.4 million in the 2003 period from $56.3 million in the 2002 period, primarily as a result of the issuance of senior notes offset by the repayment of secured debt during the 2003 period.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $5.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, 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 reduced the Company’s estimated overall effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 39.3% to 27.0%. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited under certain circumstances.

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, mortgage interest rates likely would rise substantially, which would reduce demand for the Company’s homes. 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. In addition, higher interest rates will increase the Company’s borrowing costs and interest expense.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 5 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 reporting 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. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s most critical accounting policies are real estate inventories and cost of sales; impairment of real estate inventories; and sales and profit recognition. Since December 31, 2002, there have been no changes in the Company’s most critical accounting policies, except as described in the following paragraph, and no material changes in the assumptions and estimates used by management.

Variable Interest Entities

Certain land purchase contracts and lot option contracts are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“Interpretation No. 46”). In addition, all joint ventures are reviewed and analyzed under

Interpretation No. 46 to determine whether or not these arrangements are accounted for under the principles of Interpretation No. 46 or other accounting rules. Under Interpretation No. 46, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is created when (i) the equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the entity’s equity holders as a group either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity through voting or similar rights, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity if they occur or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, the enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Expected losses and residual returns for VIEs are calculated based on the probability of estimated future cash flows as defined in Interpretation No. 46. Based on the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, whenever the Company enters into a land purchase contract or an option contract for land or lots with an entity and makes a non-refundable deposit, or enters into a joint venture, a VIE may be created and the arrangement is evaluated under Interpretation No. 46. In order to (i) evaluate whether the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support from other parties, (ii) calculate expected losses, expected residual returns and the probability of estimated future cash flows, and (iii) determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company must exercise significant judgment regarding the interpretation of the terms of the underlying agreements in light of Interpretation No. 46 and make assumptions regarding future events that may or may not occur. The terms of these agreements are subject to various interpretations and the assumptions used by the Company are inherently uncertain. The use by the Company of different interpretations and/or assumptions could affect the Company’s evaluation as to whether or not land purchase contracts, lot option contracts or joint ventures are VIEs and whether or not the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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 from being treated as extraordinary. 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 have been reclassified and not reported as extraordinary items.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees ofIndebtedness of Others(“Interpretation No. 45”). The disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective as of December 31, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. In the case of a guarantee issued as part of a transaction with multiple elements with an unrelated party, Interpretation No. 45 generally requires the recording at inception of the guarantee of a liability equal to the guarantee’s estimated fair value. In the absence of observable transactions for identical or similar guarantees, estimated fair value will likely be based on the expected present value which is the sum of the estimated probability-weighted range of contingent payments under the guarantee arrangement. The recording of a liability could have a corresponding effect on various of the Company’s financial ratios and other financial and operational indicators. The application of Interpretation No. 45 beginning on January 1, 2003 did not result in the recording of a liability with respect to any guarantees issued or modified by the Company after December 31, 2002. See Notes 3, 4 and 7 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the Company’s guarantees.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (“Statement No. 148”). Statement No. 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“Statement No. 123”) to provide three alternative methods of transition for

Statement No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for companies that elect to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 123. Transition to the fair value accounting method of Statement No. 123 is not required by Statement No. 148. The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations. Statement No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of Statement No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provisions of Statement No. 148 are required to be adopted by all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of Statement No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. The disclosure provisions of Statement No. 148 have been adopted by the Company with appropriate disclosure included in Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Based on the Company’s analysis of arrangements created after January 31, 2003, no VIEs have been created for the period from February 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003 with respect to option agreements or land banking arrangements as identified under clauses (i) and (ii) of the previous paragraph. At June 30, 2003, three joint ventures created after January 31, 2003 have been determined to be VIEs in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these three joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003 and for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Creditors of these VIEs have no recourse against the Company. Supplemental consolidating financial information of the Company, specifically including information for the three joint ventures which have been deemed to be VIEs and for two joint ventures which were previously consolidated, is included in Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” to allow investors to determine the nature of assets held and the operations of the combined entities.

The Company has not yet determined the anticipated impact of adopting Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements existing as of January 31, 2003. However, such adoption may require the consolidation in the Company’s third quarter financial statements of the assets, liabilities and operations of certain existing joint ventures, as well as option agreements or land banking arrangements. Because the Company already recognizes its proportionate share of joint venture earnings and losses under the equity method of accounting, the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not affect the Company’s consolidated net income.

The consolidation of the assets, liabilities and operations of any joint venture or land banking arrangements would have a corresponding effect on various of the Company’s financial ratios and other financial and operational indicators. Interpretation No. 46 may be applied by restating previously issued financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. See Notes 3 and 7 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding joint venture and land banking arrangements.

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), terrorism or other hostilities involving the United States, whether an ownership change occurs which could, under certain circumstances, result in the further 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 its debt obligation 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. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, additional factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, those factors or conditions described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s past performance or past or present economic conditions in the Company’s housing markets are not indicative of future performance or conditions. Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to projections over time unless required by federal securities law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes detailed disclosure about quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk have not materially changed since December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Although the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, there can be no assurance that such disclosure controls and procedures will always achieve their stated goals under all circumstances.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
