Explanatory Paragraph

This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to provide additional segment reporting footnote disclosure related to the Company’s homebuilding operations. The Company has restated the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements with revisions to its segment disclosure for all periods presented in order to disaggregate its homebuilding operations into regional reporting segments. See revised disclosures in Note 3, “Segment Information,” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated, no information in this Form 10-Q/A has been updated from the original filing for any subsequent information or events.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the entire June 30, 2006, Form 10-Q. However, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only “Part I. Financial Information, Items 1., 2. and 4.” of the June 30, 2006, Form 10-Q, in each case solely to be responsive to a disclosure comment, indicating a preference for additional segment reporting, received from the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aforementioned changes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements have no effect on the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, or its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Ryland Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. See Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for a description of its accounting policies.

The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006, the consolidated statements of earnings for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normally recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2006, and for all periods presented, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 2. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and the increase or decrease in unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities, as well as the increase or decrease in unrealized gains or losses associated with treasury interest rate locks (treasury locks), net of applicable taxes. (See Note 9, “Debt.”) Comprehensive income totaled $91.7 million and $104.3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, totaled $187.2 million and $167.0 million, respectively.

Note 3. Segment Information (Restated)

The Company is a leading national homebuilder and mortgage-related financial services firm. As one of the largest single-family on-site homebuilders in the United States, it builds homes in 28 markets. The Company consists of six segments: four geographically-determined homebuilding regions, referred to as North, Texas, Southeast and West; financial services; and corporate. The Company’s homebuilding segments specialize in the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached housing. The Company’s financial services segment provides loan origination and offers mortgage, title, escrow and insurance services. Corporate is a non-operating business segment with the sole purpose of supporting operations. Certain corporate expenses are allocated to the homebuilding and financial services segments. As a result of disaggregating the Company’s homebuilding operations into formal segments, certain employee benefit plan assets and costs have been reclassified from corporate to other segments in order to best reflect the financial position and results of the Company’s segments.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on a number of factors, including segment pretax earnings. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Options to purchase 1.1 million shares and 205,000 shares of common stock at various prices were outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive since their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, all options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Note 5. Inventories

Housing inventories consist principally of homes under construction, land under development and improved lots. Inventories to be held and used are stated at cost unless a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventories are written down to fair value.

The following table is a summary of capitalized interest:

(in thousands)	2006			2005
Capitalized interest at January 1	$	75,890		$	55,414
Interest capitalized	34,626			33,130
Interest amortized to cost of sales	(21,365		)	(20,560		)
Capitalized interest at June 30	$	89,151		$	67,984

The Company recorded $20.0 million on three impaired projects in the West region for inventory write-downs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Note 6. Purchase Price in Excess of Net Assets Acquired

The Company performs impairment tests of its goodwill annually as of March 31. The Company tests goodwill for impairment by using the two-step process prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The first step identifies potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company had no impairment at March 31, 2006 or 2005.

As a result of the Company’s application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS 142, no amortization of goodwill was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.

Note 7. Variable Interest Entities

Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” requires a variable interest entity (VIE) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities and/or entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. FIN 46 also requires disclosure about VIEs that the Company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant, though not primary, variable interest.

The Company enters into joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of acquisition and co-development of land parcels and lots. Its investment in these joint ventures may create a variable interest in a VIE, depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land for the construction of homes. Under such lot option purchase contracts, the Company funds stated deposits in consideration for the right to purchase lots at a future point in time, usually at predetermined prices. In accordance with the requirements of FIN 46, certain of the Company’s lot option purchase contracts may result in the creation of a variable interest in a VIE.

	Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
	The Ryland Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

In compliance with the provisions of FIN 46, the Company consolidated $207.4 million of inventory not owned at June 30, 2006, $149.1 million of which pertained to land and lot option purchase contracts and $58.3 million of which pertained to three of the Company’s homebuilding joint ventures. (See Note 8, “Investments in Joint Ventures.”) While the Company may not have had legal title to the optioned land or guaranteed the seller’s debt associated with that property, under FIN 46 it had the primary variable interest and was required to consolidate the particular VIE’s assets under option at fair value. This represents the fair value of the optioned property. Additionally, to reflect the fair value of the inventory consolidated under FIN 46, the Company eliminated $13.7 million of its related cash deposits for lot option purchase contracts, which are included in consolidated inventory not owned. Minority interest totaling $135.4 million was recorded with respect to the consolidation of these contracts, representing the selling entities’ ownership interests in these VIEs. At June 30, 2006, the Company had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling $23.9 million relating to lot option purchase contracts that were consolidated, reflecting its current maximum exposure to loss. Creditors of these VIEs, if any, have no recourse against the Company. At June 30, 2006, the Company had cash deposits and/or letters of credit totaling $95.3 million that were associated with lot option purchase contracts that had an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion, which were related to VIEs in which it was not the primary beneficiary.

Note 8. Investments in Joint Ventures

The Company enters into joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of acquisition and co-development of land parcels and lots. Currently, the Company participates in homebuilding joint ventures in the Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando and Phoenix markets. The Company participates in a number of joint ventures in which it has less than a controlling interest. At June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Company’s investments in its unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $13.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and were classified under “Other” assets. The Company recognizes its share of the respective joint ventures’ earnings from the sale of lots to other homebuilders. It does not, however, recognize earnings from lots that it purchases from the joint ventures. Instead, it reduces its cost basis in these lots by its share of the earnings from the lots. The Company’s equity in earnings of its unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $38,000 and $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s equity in losses totaled $345,000, compared to equity in earnings of $168,000 for the same period in 2005.

The aggregate assets of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company participated were $608.8 million and $581.4 million at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The aggregate debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company participated totaled $408.7 million and $394.0 million at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company and its partners provide guarantees of debt on a pro rata basis for one of its unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company had a 3.3 percent pro rata interest on the debt, or $12.8 million, at June 30, 2006, and a completion guarantee related to project development. The guarantees apply if a partner in the joint venture defaults on its loan arrangement and the fair value of the collateral (land and improvements) is less than the loan balance.

At June 30, 2006, three of the joint ventures in which the Company participates were consolidated in accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, as the Company was determined to have the primary variable interest in the entities. In association with these consolidated joint ventures, the Company recorded pretax earnings of $393,000 and $4,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded pretax earnings of $435,000 and pretax losses of $1,000, respectively. Total assets of $59.2 million and $63.7 million, including consolidated inventory not owned (see Note 7, “Variable Interest Entities.”); total liabilities of $42.3 million and $43.3 million; and minority interest of $9.6 million and $11.5 million, were consolidated as of June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company guaranteed up to 50.0 percent of a $55.0 million revolving credit facility for one of its consolidated joint ventures. At June 30, 2006, the actual borrowings against the revolving credit facility for this consolidated joint venture were $35.2 million, of which the Company guaranteed $17.6 million.

Note 9. Debt

In May 2006, the Company issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.9 percent senior notes. The notes will mature on June 15, 2013, and may be redeemed at a stated redemption price, in whole or in part, at any time. Commencing on December 15, 2006, the Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

Additionally, at June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding (a) $100.0 million of 8.0 percent senior notes due August 2006, with interest payable semiannually, which may not be redeemed prior to maturity; (b) $150.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due June 2008, with interest payable semiannually, which may be redeemed at a stated redemption price at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time; (c) $250.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due May 2012, with interest payable semiannually, which may be redeemed at a stated redemption price at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time; and (d) $250.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due January 2015, with interest payable semiannually, which may be redeemed at a stated redemption price, in whole or in part, at any time. The Company intends to repay its outstanding $100.0 million of 8.0 percent senior notes due August 2006.

At June 30, 2006, the Company also had outstanding $150.0 million of 9.1 percent senior subordinated notes due June 2011, of which it owned $6.5 million, with interest payable semiannually. In July 2006, the Company redeemed the senior subordinated notes due June 2011. (See Management’s Discussion and Analysis, “Financial Condition and Liquidity.”)

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company terminated its $100.0 million treasury lock at 4.2 percent and its $150.0 million treasury lock at 4.1 percent. These hedges were entered into in 2005 to facilitate the replacement of higher-rate senior and senior subordinated debt in 2006. The hedges were evaluated and deemed to be highly effective at the inception of the contracts. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company accounted for the treasury locks as cash flow hedges. As a result of timing in the Company’s debt issuance and in the term of debt issued in the second quarter of 2006, a gain of $9.2 million was recognized during that period, reflecting the ineffective portion of those cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the settlement value of the $150.0 million treasury lock of $8.4 million was recorded, net of income tax effect, in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” and will be amortized to earnings over the seven-year life of the related debt instrument.

In January 2006, the Company entered into a $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit agreement, which matures in January 2011, also provides access to an additional $750.0 million of financing through an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased up to $1.5 billion, subject to the availability of additional lending commitments. The $750.0 million revolving credit facility includes a $75.0 million swing-line facility and a $600.0 million sublimit for issuance of standby letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries. Such guarantees are full and unconditional. Interest rates on outstanding borrowings are determined either by reference to LIBOR, with margins determined based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio and credit ratings, or by reference to an alternate base rate. The credit agreement contains various customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The credit agreement replaces the Company’s prior $500.0 million revolving credit facility and will be used for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement or under the Company’s prior $500.0 million revolving credit facility at June 30, 2006, or December 31, 2005.

At June 30, 2006, the Company’s obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest under its $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility; 8.0 percent senior notes due August 2006; 5.4 percent senior notes due June 2008; 5.4 percent senior notes due May 2012; 6.9 percent senior notes due June 2013; and 5.4 percent senior notes due January 2015 are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of its wholly-owned

	Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
	The Ryland Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

homebuilding subsidiaries. Such guarantees are full and unconditional. (See Note 14, “Supplemental Guarantor Information.”)

The senior and senior subordinated notes and indenture agreements, as well as the unsecured revolving credit facility, contain numerous restrictive covenants. At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

To finance its land purchases, the Company may also use seller-financed nonrecourse secured notes payable. At June 30, 2006, such notes payable outstanding amounted to $42.0 million, versus $28.5 million at December 31, 2005.

Note 10. Postretirement Benefits

The Company has supplemental nonqualified retirement plans that vest over five-year periods beginning in 2003, pursuant to which it will pay supplemental pension benefits to key employees upon retirement. In connection with these plans, the Company has purchased cost-recovery life insurance on the lives of certain employees. Insurance contracts associated with the plans are held by trusts established as part of the plans to implement and carry out their provisions and finance their related benefits. The trusts are owners and beneficiaries of such contracts. The amount of coverage is designed to provide sufficient revenue to cover all costs of the plans if assumptions made as to employment term, mortality experience, policy earnings and other factors are realized. At June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the cash surrender value of these contracts was $23.2 million and $19.2 million, respectively. The net periodic benefit cost for these plans for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $1.9 million and included service costs of $1.3 million, interest costs of $284,000 and investment losses of $354,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the net periodic benefit cost was $471,000 and included service costs of $627,000, interest income of $18,000 and investment earnings of $138,000. The net periodic benefit cost for these plans for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $2.2 million and included service costs of $2.1 million, interest costs of $498,000 and investment earnings of $466,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the net periodic benefit cost was $1.7 million and included service costs of $1.4 million, interest costs of $158,000 and investment losses of $163,000. The $15.2 million and $12.6 million projected benefit obligations at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively, were equal to the net liability recognized in the balance sheet at those dates. The weighted-average discount rate used for the plans was 7.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Ryland Group, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, stock units or any combination of the foregoing to employees. Stock options granted in accordance with the Plan generally have a maximum term of five years and vest in equal annual installments over three years. Outstanding stock options granted under previous plans generally have a maximum term of ten years and vest over three years. At June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, stock options or other awards or units available for grant totaled 178,365 and 659,263, respectively.

The Ryland Group, Inc. 2006 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the “Director Plan”) provides for a stock award of 3,000 shares to each non-employee director on May 1 of each year. New non-employee directors will receive a pro rata stock award 30 days after their date of appointment or election based on the remaining portion of the plan year (May 1 to April 30) in which they are appointed or elected. Stock awards are fully vested and non-forfeitable on their applicable award date. At June 30, 2006, 120,000 stock awards were available for future grant in accordance with the Director Plan. Previously, The Ryland Group, Inc. 2004 Non-Employee Director Equity Plan (the “Predecessor Director Plan”) provided automatic grants of nonstatutory stock options to directors for the purchase of shares at prices not less

	Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
	The Ryland Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

than the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Stock options vested and became exercisable six months after the date of grant and had a maximum term of ten years. Upon termination of service on the Board of Directors, all stock options expire three years after the date of termination, regardless of their stated expiration dates. Upon approval of the Director Plan, stock options available for future grant under the Predecessor Director Plan were canceled. At December 31, 2005, there were 953,200 stock options available for grant.

All outstanding stock options, stock awards and restricted stock awards have been granted in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Director Plan and their respective predecessor plans, all of which were approved by the Company’s stockholders. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plans).

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options granted in accordance with the Plan, the Director Plan and their predecessor plans by adhering to the provisions and related interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended. Therefore, except for costs related to restricted stock units, no stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in net earnings since 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.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS 123(R)), “Share-Based Payment,” by using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to January 1, 2006, but not yet vested, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123; and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

The fair value of each of the Company’s stock-option awards is estimated on the date of grant by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula, which requires input assumptions for the Company’s expected dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option life. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield is based on an annual dividend rate of $0.48 per common share. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock-option award is based upon the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option is granted, with a maturity equal to the expected option life of the stock option granted. The expected option life is derived from historical experience under the Company’s share-based payment plans and represents the period of time that stock-option awards granted are expected to be outstanding.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires cash flows attributable to tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation cost recognized for those stock options (“excess tax benefits”) to be classified as financing cash flows. Had the Company not adopted SFAS 123(R), the $11.9 million excess tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow would have been classified as an operating cash inflow.

Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006, included $7.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share of stock-based compensation expense, before income tax benefits of $2.7 million. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006, included $13.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share of stock-based compensation expense, before income tax benefits of $5.1 million. Stock-based compensation expenses have been allocated to the Company’s reportable segments and are reported within “Corporate,” “Financial services” and “Selling, general and administrative” expenses.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock options granted under its equity-based compensation plans in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the grant-date fair value of the Company’s stock options was estimated by using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and amortized to expense over the stock options’ vesting periods.

As of June 30, 2006, there was $11.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost that related to nonvested stock option awards granted under the Company’s plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.8 years.

The Company has made several restricted stock awards to senior executives under the Plan and its predecessor plans. Compensation expense recognized for such awards was $2.7 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $5.8 million and $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company acquires rights under option agreements to purchase land or lots for use in future homebuilding operations. At June 30, 2006, it had related cash deposits and letters of credit outstanding that totaled $184.1 million for land options pertaining to land purchase contracts with an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion. At June 30, 2006, the Company had commitments with respect to option contracts having specific performance provisions of approximately $53.9 million, compared to $60.5 million at December 31, 2005.

As an on-site housing producer, the Company is often required by some municipalities to obtain development or performance bonds and letters of credit in support of its contractual obligations. At June 30, 2006, total development bonds were $478.3 million, while total related deposits and letters of credit were $78.0 million. In the event that any such bonds or letters of credit are called, the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer; however, it does not expect that any currently outstanding bonds or letters of credit will be called.

At June 30, 2006, one of the joint ventures in which the Company participates had debt of $385.9 million. In this joint venture, the Company and its partners provided guarantees of debt on a pro rata basis. The Company had a 3.3 percent pro rata interest on the debt, or $12.8 million, at June 30, 2006, and a completion guarantee related to project development. The guarantees apply if a partner defaults on its loan arrangement and the fair value of the collateral (land and improvements) is less than the loan balance. In another of its joint ventures, the Company guaranteed up to 50.0 percent of a $55.0 million revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2006, the actual borrowings against the revolving credit facility for this consolidated joint venture were $35.2 million, of which the Company guaranteed $17.6 million.

Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) represent loan commitments with customers at market rates generally up to 180 days before settlement. At June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding IRLCs totaling $316.4 million. Hedging contracts are utilized to mitigate the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations on IRLCs.

The Company provides product warranties covering workmanship and materials for one year, certain mechanical systems for two years and structural systems for ten years. The Company estimates and records warranty liabilities based upon historical experience and known risks at the time a home closes, and in the case of unexpected claims, upon identification and quantification of the obligations. Actual future warranty costs could differ from current estimates.

Changes in the Company’s product liability reserve during the period are as follows:

(in thousands)	2006			2005
Balance at January 1	$	41,647		$	33,090
Warranties issued	10,517			11,019

Changes in liability for accruals related to pre-existing warranties	3,557			5,607
Balance at June 30	$	42,308		$	38,336

The Company requires substantially all of its subcontractors to have general liability insurance (including construction defect coverage) and workmans compensation insurance. These insurance policies protect the Company against a portion of its risk of loss from claims, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits. However, with fewer insurers participating, general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry has become more difficult to obtain over the past several years. As a result, Ryland Homes Insurance Company (RHIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides insurance services to the homebuilding segments’ subcontractors in certain markets. At June 30, 2006, RHIC had $22.9 million in cash and $19.4 million in subcontractor product liability reserves, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2005, RHIC had $16.3 million in cash and $16.9 million in subcontractor product liability reserves, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet.

Please refer to “Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of this document for additional information regarding the Company’s commitments and contingencies.

Note 13. New Accounting Pronouncements

FSP 109-1

In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1 (FSP 109-1), “Application of FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), ‘Accounting for Income Taxes,’ to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act, which was signed into law in October 2004, provides a tax deduction on qualified domestic production activities. When fully phased-in, the deduction will be up to nine percent of the lesser of “qualified production activities income” or taxable income. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS 109 and will reduce tax expense in the period or periods that the amounts are deductible on the tax return. The tax benefit resulting from the new deduction was effective beginning in the Company’s fiscal year 2005. The Company currently estimates the reduction in its federal income tax rate to be in the range of one-half of one percent to one percent.

FIN 48

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” In accordance with SFAS 109, FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition; classification; interest and penalties; accounting in interim periods; disclosure; and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company’s first quarter ending March 31, 2007. The impact on the Company’s financial statements for that period has not yet been determined.

Note 14. Supplemental Guarantor Information

The Company’s obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest under its $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility; 8.0 percent senior notes due August 2006; 5.4 percent senior notes due June 2008; 5.4 percent senior notes due May 2012; 6.9 percent senior notes due June 2013; and 5.4 percent senior notes due January 2015 are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of its homebuilding subsidiaries that are 100 percent owned by the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Such guarantees are full and unconditional.

In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements have been included. Management does not believe that separate financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to investors and are, therefore, not presented.

The following information presents the consolidating statements of earnings, financial position and cash flows for (a) the parent company and issuer, The Ryland Group, Inc. (“TRG, Inc.”); (b) the Guarantor Subsidiaries; (c) the non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (d) the consolidation eliminations used to arrive at the consolidated information for The Ryland Group, Inc. and subsidiaries.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Results of Operations

Overview

The Company consists of six operating business segments: four geographically-determined homebuilding operating regions; financial services; and corporate. The homebuilding operations are, by far, the most substantial part of its business, comprising approximately 98 percent of consolidated revenues in fiscal year 2005 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The homebuilding segments generate nearly all of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, with a lesser amount from the sale of land and lots.

The Company reported consolidated net earnings of $94.8 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006, compared to consolidated net earnings of $104.3 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005. The decline in net earnings was due to lower margins, resulting from a broad trend toward softening demand in residential housing and a more competitive sales environment in most markets. Pretax earnings from the homebuilding and financial services segments were $153.8 million and $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $171.3 million and $16.2 million for the same period in 2005, respectively.

The Company’s revenues reached $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2006, up 3.2 percent. This increase was primarily attributable to higher average closing prices. Homebuilding and financial services revenues were $1,170.4 million and $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $1,135.7 million and $24.0 million in the same period in 2005, respectively.

New order dollars decreased 40.0 percent for the second quarter of 2006, compared with the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting reduced demand in some housing markets. As a result of declining sales trends, new orders decreased 39.4 percent to 3,023 units in the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, from 4,988 units for the same period in 2005.

Consolidated inventories owned by the Company, which include homes under construction, land under development and improved lots, grew 16.7 percent to $2.7 billion at June 30, 2006, compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2005. Land under development rose by 18.3 percent to $1.3 billion during the second quarter of 2006, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2005. Consolidated inventories owned by the Company grew 21.5 percent to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2005, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2004.

The Company continued to repurchase stock, acquiring 1,815,000 shares during the second quarter of 2006 and 2,850,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Outstanding shares at June 30, 2006, were 44,254,440, versus 46,833,035 for June 30, 2005, a decrease of 5.5 percent. The Company’s debt-to-capital ratio increased to 45.6 percent at June 30, 2006, from 40.1 percent at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the issuance of $250.0 million of senior notes in May 2006. A portion of these proceeds will be used to redeem its $150.0 million senior subordinated notes in July 2006, while the remaining proceeds will be used to redeem its $100.0 million senior notes due August 2006, which is expected to bring the Company’s debt-to-capital ratio closer to its 40.0 percent target by the end of the year.

Stockholders’ equity increased $38.5 million, or 2.8 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an increase of 10.2 percent for the same period in 2005. As a result of balancing cash outlays among achieving operating objectives, common stock repurchases and dividend increases, stockholders’ equity per share rose 28.6 percent from $24.86 at June 30, 2005, to $31.96 at June 30, 2006.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Homebuilding

General

Ryland homes are built on-site and marketed in four major geographic regions. At June 30, 2006, the Company operated in the following metropolitan areas:

Region/Segment		Major Markets Served
North		Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Delaware, Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C.
Texas		Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio
Southeast		Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Fort Myers, Greensboro, Greenville, Jacksonville, Myrtle Beach, Orlando and Tampa
West		California’s Central Valley, California’s Inland Empire, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Sacramento and the San Diego area

Three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to three months ended June 30, 2005

The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $153.8 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $171.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Homebuilding results for the second quarter of 2006 decreased from 2005 primarily due to a decline in margins.

Homebuilding revenues increased $34.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to an 8.5 percent rise in the average closing price of a home. Also included in revenues was $9.2 million of other income recognized in the second quarter of 2006 related to the termination of a $100.0 million treasury lock at 4.2 percent and a $150.0 million treasury lock at 4.1 percent. (See Note 9, “Debt.”)

Consistent with its policy of managing land investments according to return and risk targets, the Company executed several land sales during the second quarter of 2006. Homebuilding revenues for the second quarter of 2006 included $29.2 million from land sales, compared to $38.2 million for the second quarter of 2005, which contributed net gains of $10.0 million and $13.6 million to pretax earnings in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Gross profit margins from home sales averaged 23.2 percent for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 24.5 percent for the second quarter of 2005. This decrease was primarily due to inventory write-downs in Southern California that totaled $20.0 million and to increased sales discounts during the second quarter of 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 10.1 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 9.8 percent for the same period in the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of revenue, was primarily attributable to a rise in sales and marketing expenses.

In the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, the homebuilding segments capitalized all interest incurred, resulting in no interest expense being recorded during those periods due to development activity.

Six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $301.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $277.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Homebuilding results for the six months ended June 30, 2006, rose from 2005 primarily due to a slight increase in closings and an increase in average closing price.

Homebuilding revenues increased $232.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to an 8.9 percent rise in the average closing price of a home.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Consistent with its policy of managing land investments according to return and risk targets, the Company executed several land sales during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Homebuilding revenues for that period included $33.9 million from land sales, compared to $46.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which contributed net gains of $11.4 million and $14.2 million to pretax earnings in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Gross profit margins from home sales averaged 23.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 23.9 percent for the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 10.2 percent for both the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the homebuilding segments capitalized all interest incurred, resulting in no interest expense being recorded for those periods due to development activity.

Homebuilding Segment Information

New order dollars decreased 40.0 percent during the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. New order dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2006, increased 4.3 percent in Texas and decreased 33.0 percent in the North, 40.9 percent in the Southeast and 62.1 percent in the West, compared to the second quarter of 2005. New orders for the second quarter of 2006 decreased 39.4 percent to 3,023 units from 4,988 units for the same period in 2005 primarily due to moderating demand in most markets and higher cancellation rates in selective markets. The cancellation rate was 35.9 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to 20.3 percent for the same period in 2005. The decrease in sales and increase in cancellation rates were more pronounced in markets that experienced significant price appreciation over the last several years.

New order dollars decreased 28.6 percent during the first six months of 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. New order dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased 7.4 percent in Texas and decreased 24.7 percent in the North, 21.5 percent in the Southeast and 52.3 percent in the West, compared to the first six months of 2005. New orders for the first six months of 2006 decreased 30.2 percent to 7,044 units from 10,090 units for the same period in 2005.

Outstanding contracts denote the Company’s backlog of sold but not closed homes, which are generally built and closed, subject to cancellation, over the subsequent two quarters. At June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding contracts for 8,151 units, representing a 22.6 percent decrease compared to the number of outstanding contracts at June 30, 2005. The $2.5 billion value of outstanding contracts declined 17.8 percent at June 30, 2006, compared to June 30, 2005. The average sales price for outstanding contracts increased by 6.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from the same period in 2005.

Financial Services

The Company’s financial services segment provides mortgage-related products and services, as well as insurance services to its homebuyers and subcontractors. By aligning its operations with the Company’s homebuilding segments, the financial services segment leverages this relationship to capture homebuyers’ loans. In addition to being a valuable asset to customers, the financial services segment greatly enhances the Company’s profitability. Providing mortgage financing and other services to its customers allows the homebuilder to better monitor its backlog and closing process. Substantially all loans are sold within one business day of the date they close to a third party, which the third party then services and manages. Insurance services provide subcontractors with construction-related insurance in the western markets. Additionally, this segment provides insurance for liability risks, specifically homeowners’ warranty coverage arising in connection with the homebuilding business of the Company and its affiliates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to three months ended June 30, 2005

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $16.9 million, compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in RHIC and insurance operations, partially offset by a rise in incentives, which resulted from a competitive marketplace.

Revenues for the financial services segment decreased 10.7 percent to $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 4.4 percent decline in loans originated. The capture rate of mortgages originated for customers of the Company’s homebuilding operations was 82.5 percent and 82.9 percent for the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $7.4 million, versus $7.5 million for the same period in 2005.

Interest expense decreased 74.8 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in interest expense corresponded to a similar decrease in interest income and was primarily due to a continued decline in bonds payable and short-term notes payable, which resulted from the sale or redemption of substantially all of the investment portfolio and continued runoff of the underlying collateral.

Six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $28.4 million, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to a 2.5 percent increase in loans originated and a 9.7 percent rise in average loan size, as well as to increased profitability from title and insurance operations.

Revenues for the financial services segment rose 15.0 percent to $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a rise in mortgage origination dollars, which resulted from a 2.5 percent increase in loans originated and a 9.7 percent rise in average loan size. The capture rate of mortgages originated for customers of the Company’s homebuilding operations was 81.4 percent and 81.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

General and administrative expenses were $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and $14.6 million for the same period in 2005.

Interest expense decreased 70.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in interest expense corresponded to a similar decrease in interest income and was primarily due to a continued decline in bonds payable and short-term notes payable, which resulted from the sale or redemption of substantially all of the investment portfolio and continued runoff of the underlying collateral.

Corporate

Three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to three months ended June 30, 2005

Corporate expenses were $19.0 million and $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Excluding stock option expense required by a change in accounting principle, corporate expenses were $16.7 million, a decline of $2.6 million. The decrease was due to lower executive compensation expense that resulted from lower earnings and a decline in stock price.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

Corporate expenses were $34.0 million and $32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Excluding stock option expense required by a change in accounting principle, corporate expenses were $29.4 million, a decline of $2.9 million. The decrease was due to lower executive compensation expense that resulted from lower earnings and a decline in stock price.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income tax represented effective income tax rates of 37.5 percent for 2006 and 38.0 percent for 2005. The decrease in the effective income tax rate in 2006 was primarily due to the estimated benefits of the new “qualified production activities income” tax deduction created by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash requirements for the Company are generally provided from internally generated funds and outside borrowings.

Net earnings provided cash flows of $184.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, and $167.1 million for the same period in 2005. New debt was issued during the second quarter of 2006 that provided $250.0 million. Net changes in other assets, payables and other liabilities used $167.7 million and provided $17.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The cash provided was invested principally in inventory of $386.8 million and $418.5 million, as well as in stock repurchases of $175.0 million and $79.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Dividends totaled $0.24 and $0.12 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Effective in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company’s quarterly common stock dividend was increased to $0.12 per share from the previous quarterly common stock dividend of $0.06 per share.

Consolidated inventories owned by the Company increased to $2.7 billion at June 30, 2006, from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2005. The Company attempts to maintain approximately a four- to five-year supply of land, with half or more controlled through options. At June 30, 2006, the Company controlled 75,685 lots, with 33,934 lots owned and 41,751 lots, or 55.2 percent, under option. The Company has historically funded the acquisition of land and the exercise of land options through a combination of operating cash flows, capital transactions and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company expects these sources to continue to be adequate to fund future obligations with regard to the acquisition of land and the exercise of land options; therefore, it does not anticipate that the exercise of land options will have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. In an effort to increase liquidity, models have been sold and leased back on a selective basis. The Company owned 78.3 percent and 78.9 percent of its model homes at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The homebuilding segments’ borrowings include senior notes, senior subordinated notes, an unsecured revolving credit facility and nonrecourse secured notes payable. Senior and senior subordinated notes outstanding totaled $1,143.5 million and $893.5 million at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.

In July 2006, the Company redeemed its $150.0 million of 9.1 percent senior subordinated notes due June 2011, of which it owned $6.5 million. The redemption price was 104.6 percent of the principal amount of the notes

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

outstanding, plus accrued interest as of the redemption date. The notes were redeemed at a price of $1,045.63 per $1,000 notes outstanding, plus accrued interest. The Company will recognize a loss related to the early retirement of these senior subordinated notes of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Additionally, the Company intends to repay its outstanding $100.0 million of 8.0 percent senior notes due in August 2006.

In January 2006, the Company entered into a $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit agreement, which matures in January 2011, also provides access to an additional $750.0 million of financing through an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased up to $1.5 billion, subject to the availability of additional lending commitments. The $750.0 million revolving credit facility includes a $75.0 million swing-line facility and a $600.0 million sublimit for issuance of standby letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries. Such guarantees are full and unconditional. Interest rates on outstanding borrowings are determined either by reference to LIBOR, with margins determined based on changes in its leverage ratio and credit ratings, or by reference to an alternate base rate. The credit agreement contains various customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants and replaces the Company’s prior $500.0 million revolving credit facility. (See Note 9, “Debt.”)

The Company uses its $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to finance increases in its homebuilding inventory and working capital, when necessary. There were no borrowings under the current facility at June 30, 2006, or at December 31, 2005. Under these facilities, the Company had letters of credit outstanding that totaled $173.8 million at June 30, 2006, and $185.6 million at December 31, 2005. Unused borrowing capacity under these facilities totaled $576.2 million and $314.4 million, respectively.

The $100.0 million of 8.0 percent senior notes due August 2006 and the $150.0 million of 9.1 percent senior subordinated notes due June 2011 contain various restrictive covenants that include, among other things, limitations on additional indebtedness; change of control; transactions with affiliates; liens and guarantees; dividends and distributions; sale of assets; modification of debt instruments; transactions with affiliates; and inventory. At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The $150.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due June 2008; the $250.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due May 2012; the $250.0 million of 6.9 percent senior notes due June 2013; and the $250.0 million of 5.4 percent senior notes due January 2015 are subject to certain covenants that include, among other things, restrictions on additional secured debt and the sale of assets. At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company terminated its treasury locks to facilitate the replacement of higher-rate senior and senior subordinated debt in 2006. The Company recognized a $9.2 million gain in the second quarter of 2006 related to the termination of these locks. (See Note 9, “Debt.”)

The financial services segment uses cash generated internally and from outside borrowing arrangements to finance its operations. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the financial services segment terminated its revolving credit facility, which was previously used to finance investment portfolio securities. Accordingly, the financial services segment had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2006, or December 31, 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for up to $1.0 billion of its debt and equity securities on April 11, 2005. At June 30, 2006, $600.0 million remained available under this registration statement due to the issuance of $250.0 million of senior notes in May 2005, of which $100.0 million was applied to a previous shelf registration statement, and the issuance of $250.0 million of senior notes in May 2006. The registration statement provides that securities may be offered, from time to time, in one or more series and in the form of senior, subordinated or convertible debt; preferred stock; preferred stock represented by depository shares; common stock; stock purchase contracts; stock purchase units; and warrants to purchase both debt and equity securities. In the future, the Company intends to continue to maintain effective shelf registration statements that will facilitate access to the capital markets. The timing and amount of future offerings, if any, will depend on market and general business conditions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 2,850,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of approximately $175.0 million. The Company had existing authorization from its Board of Directors to purchase approximately 2.3 million shares at a cost of $101.7 million, based on the Company’s stock price at June 30, 2006. Outstanding shares at June 30, 2006, were 44,254,440, versus 46,833,035 for June 30, 2005, a decrease of 5.5 percent.

The Company believes that its current cash position, cash generation capabilities, amounts available under its revolving credit facility and its ability to access the capital markets in a timely manner with its existing shelf registration statement are adequate to meet its cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Land and lot option purchase contracts enable the Company to control significant lot positions with a minimal capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $184.1 million in cash deposits and letters of credit to purchase land and lots with a total purchase price of $2.0 billion. Only $53.9 million of the $2.0 billion in land and lot option purchase contracts contain specific performance provisions. Additionally, the Company’s liability is generally limited to forfeiture of the nonrefundable deposits, letters of credit and other nonrefundable amounts incurred.

Pursuant to FIN 46, the Company consolidated $207.4 million of inventory not owned at June 30, 2006, $149.1 million of which pertained to land and lot option purchase contracts and $58.3 million of which pertained to three of the Company’s homebuilding joint ventures. (See Note 7, “Variable Interest Entities,” and Note 8, “Investments in Joint Ventures.”)

At June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $173.8 million and development or performance bonds totaling $478.3 million, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts and land or municipal improvement obligations. The Company expects that the obligations secured by these letters of credit and performance bonds will generally be satisfied in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are fulfilled, the related letters of credit and performance bonds will be released, and the Company will not have any continuing obligations.

The Company has no material third-party guarantees other than those associated with its $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, its senior notes and its investments in joint ventures. (See Note 8, “Investments in Joint Ventures,” and Note 14, “Supplemental Guarantor Information.”)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the use of judgment in the application of accounting policies and estimates of inherently uncertain matters. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to those policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, other than those related to its accounting for stock-based compensation.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R), which requires that compensation expense be measured and recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. The Company calculates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which involve a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock-price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected dividend yield and the expected stock option exercise behavior. Additionally, judgment is also required in estimating the number of share-based awards that are expected to forfeit. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and the Company’s consolidated results of operations could be materially impacted. The Company believes the accounting for stock-based compensation is a critical accounting policy because it requires the use of complex judgment in its application.

Outlook

In the first seven months of the year, the Company experienced a decline in sales orders for new homes, compared to the same period last year. The Company continues to believe its sales orders thus far reflect broader market trends toward a softening in demand for residential housing. Nearly all markets have been affected by reduced demand and higher cancellation rates, leading to a buildup of new and resale home inventories. At June 30, 2006, the Company’s backlog of orders for new homes totaled 8,151 units, or a projected dollar value of $2.5 billion, and reflected a 17.8 percent decline in dollar volume from June 30, 2005. As a result of these trends, the Company projects its diluted earnings per share will be between $7.75 and $8.25 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2005. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, refer to “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q/A, an evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006.

The Company has a committee consisting of key officers, including the chief accounting officer and general counsel, to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports is accumulated and communicated to those individuals responsible for the preparation of the reports, as well as to all principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that will allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

At December 31, 2005, the Company completed a detailed evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting, including the assessment, documentation and testing of its controls, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. No material weaknesses were identified. The Company’s management summarized its assessment process and documented its conclusions in the Report of Management, which appears in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm summarized its review of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting in an attestation report that also appears in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006, and has concluded that there was no change during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has restated Note 3 to expand the disclosure of its homebuilding reportable segments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” to report segment information relating to its homebuilding operations based on regions of the country, rather than reporting its homebuilding business as a single, national reportable segment. The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, has re-evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report to determine whether the restatement changes any prior conclusion. The Company has determined that the restatement does not change any conclusion that, at June 30, 2006, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information included in the reports that the Company filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and disclosed within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The treatment of the Company’s homebuilding business as a single, national reportable segment was previously in accordance with SFAS 131 and the practice was followed by substantially all the large, geographically diverse homebuilders that file reports with the SEC. The restatement represents a change in interpretation and practice with respect to the application of SFAS 131. The change in the way the Company reports segment information did not affect its previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the description of its business and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations, the Company previously included certain information on the basis of the geographic regions within which the Company operates. Based upon a recent technical correction to the interpretation of homebuilding segment reporting, the Company presents in this Restatement additional information so that all geographic regional data in its reports are presented on the basis of the same geographic homebuilding segments. In light of, and after

considering this change in reporting homebuilding geographic segment information, the Company’s management continues to believe and has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Contingent liabilities may arise from obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business or from the usual obligations of on-site housing producers for the completion of contracts.

On January 15, 2004, a securities class action was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The action alleges violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the disclosure by the Company of new home sales for the fourth quarter of 2003. In September 2005, the Court dismissed the action because the lead plaintiff previously selected by the Court had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. As a result, the Court also dismissed the class action complaint. Subsequently, a different member of the purported class asked to be substituted as a new lead plaintiff. In June 2006, the Court granted that request and reinstated the action. The defendants believe that the Court erred in doing so and has asked the Court to certify the issue for an immediate appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The new lead plaintiff has opposed that request. The Court has yet to rule.

The Company is party to various other legal proceedings generally incidental to its businesses. Based on evaluation of these matters and discussions with counsel, management believes that liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes in the risk factors set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
