NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
1. The consolidated financial statements, except for the October 31,
2000 consolidated balance sheet have been prepared without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments for interim periods presented have been
made, which include only normal recurring accruals and deferrals necessary for
a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations,
and changes in cash flows. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates and these differences could have a significant impact on the
financial statements. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results which might be expected for a full year.
2. Interest costs incurred, expensed and capitalized were:

(1) Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance
subsidiaries.
(2) Data does not include a reduction for depreciation.
(3) Represents acquisition interest for construction, land and development
costs which is charged to interest expense when homes are delivered and
when land is not under active development.
3. Homebuilding accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2001 and October
31, 2000 amounted to $25,460,000 and $22,164,000, respectively. Senior
residential rental property accumulated depreciation at April 30, 2001 and
October 31, 2000 amounted to $2,435,000 and $2,294,000, respectively.
4. In accordance with "Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS
121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and For Long Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of", we record impairment losses on inventories related
to communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that
they may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than their related carrying amounts. In addition,
from time to time, we will write off certain residential land options
including approval, engineering, and capitalized interest costs for land
management decided not to purchase. We wrote off such costs in New Jersey,
Metro D. C., and California amounting to $174,000 and $764,000 during the
three months ended January 31, 2001 and April 30, 2001, respectively. During
the three months ended April 30, 2000, we wrote off costs amounting to
$513,000 in California. Residential inventory FAS 121 impairment losses and
option write offs are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as
"Homebuilding-Inventory Impairement Loss."
5. We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material
adverse effect on us. As of April 30, 2001 and October 31, 2000, we are
obligated under various performance letters of credit amounting to $4,742,000
and $4,284,000, respectively.
6. Our credit facility has been amended as of February 22, 2000.
Pursuant to the Amendment, our credit line increased to $375,000,000 and is
extended through July 2003. Interest is payable monthly and at various rates
of either the prime rate plus .25% or Libor plus 1.70%.
7. On January 23, 2001 we merged with Washington Homes, Inc. for a
total purchase price of $87.4 million, of which $38.5 million was paid in cash
and 6,352,900 shares of our Class A Common Stock were issued. At the date of
acquisition we loaned Washington Homes, Inc. approximately $57,000,000 to pay
off their third party debt.
The merger with Washington Homes, Inc. was accounted for as a purchase
with the results of operations of the merged entity included in our
consolidated financial statements as of the date of the merger. The purchase
price was allocated based on estimated fair value at the date of the merger.
Such allocation is preliminary and is pending management's assessment of the
deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired. An intangible asset equal to
the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of $12,794,000
is recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance
sheet. This amount is being amortized on a straight line basis over a period
of ten years.
The following unaudited pro forma financial data for the three and six
months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000 has been prepared as if the merger with
Washington Homes, Inc. on January 23, 2001 had occurred on November 1, 1999.
Unaudited pro forma financial data is presented for information purposes only
and may not be indicative of the actual amounts of the Company had the events
occurred on the dates listed above, nor does it purport to represent future
periods (in thousands).

8. Restructuring Charges - Restructuring charges are estimated expenses
associated with the merger of our operations with those of Washington Homes,
Inc. on January 23, 2001. Under our merger plan, administration offices in
Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina will be either closed, relocated, or
combined. The merger of administration offices is expected to be completed by
July 31, 2001. Expenses were accrued for salaries, severance and outplacement
costs for the involuntary termination of associates, costs to close and/or
relocate existing administrative offices, and lost rent and leasehold
improvements. We estimate that approximately 58 associates will be
terminated. We have accrued approximately $1.7 million to cover termination
and related costs. Associates being terminated are primarily administrative.
In addition, we accrued approximately $0.8 million to cover closing and/or
relocating various administrative offices in these three states. At April 30,
2001 $686,000 has been charged against termination costs relating to the
termination of 35 associates and $369,000 has been charged against closing and
relocation costs.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," was issued in June 1998. This statement addresses the accounting
for and disclosure of derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
imbedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The statement requires
us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair
value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized
in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change is recognized
in earnings. The impact of the adoption of the new statement as of November
1, 2000 did not have a significant impact on our earnings or financial
position. The effect of FAS 133 is immaterial to our financial statements.
We manage our interest rate risk on mortgage loans held for sale and our
estimated future commitments to originate and close mortgage loans at fixed
prices through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments. These
instruments are classified as derivatives and generally have maturities of
three months or less. Accordingly, gains and losses are recognized in current
earnings during the period of change.
10. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., the parent company (the "Parent") is
the issuer of publicly traded common stock. One of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., (the "Subsidiary Issuer") was
the issuer of certain Senior Notes on May 4, 1999 and October 2, 2000.
The Subsidiary Issuer acts as a finance and management entity that as of
April 30, 2001 had issued and outstanding approximately $99,747,000 of
subordinated notes, $300,000,000 senior notes, and a revolving credit
agreement with an outstanding balance of $120,600,000. The subordinated
notes, senior notes, and the revolving credit agreement are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent.
Each of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent (collectively the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries"), with the exception of four subsidiaries formerly
engaged in the issuance of collateralized mortgage obligations, a mortgage
lending subsidiary, a subsidiary holding and licensing the "K. Hovnanian"
trade name, and a subsidiary engaged in homebuilding activity in Poland
(collectively the "Non-guarantor Subsidiaries"), have guaranteed fully and
unconditionally, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal
and interest under the senior notes and the revolving credit agreement of the
Subsidiary Issuer.
In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the
Guarantor Subsidiaries we have included the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements. Management does not believe that separate
financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to investors.
Therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
The following consolidating condensed financial information present the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (i) the Parent
(ii) the Subsidiary Issuer (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Parent (iv)
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Parent and (v) the eliminations to
arrive at the information for Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. on a consolidated
basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our uses for cash during the six months ended April 30, 2001 were for
operating expenses, seasonal increases in housing inventories, construction,
income taxes, interest, and the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. We
provided for our cash requirements from housing and land sales, the revolving
credit facility, financial service revenues and other revenues. We believe
that these sources of cash are sufficient to finance our working capital
requirements and other needs.
In March 2000 the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
program to purchase up to 4 million shares of Class A Common Stock. This
authorization expired on December 31, 2000. As of April 30, 2001, 3,391,047
shares were repurchased under this program.
Our bank borrowings are made pursuant to a revolving credit agreement
(the "Agreement") that provides a revolving credit line of up to $375,000,000
(the "Revolving Credit Facility") through July 2003. Interest is payable
monthly and at various rates of either prime plus .25% or Libor plus 1.70%.
We believe that we will be able either to extend the Agreement beyond July
2003 or negotiate a replacement facility, but there can be no assurance of
such extension or replacement facility. We currently are in compliance and
intend to maintain compliance with our covenants under the Agreement. As of
April 30, 2001, borrowings under the Agreement were $120,600,000.
The subordinated indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April
30, 2001 was $99,747,000 9 3/4% Subordinated Notes due June 2005. The senior
indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of April 30, 2001 was
$150,000,000 (issued at a discount of $146,400,000), 10 1/2 Senior Notes due
October 2007 and $150,000,000 9 1/8% Senior Notes due May 2009.
Our mortgage banking subsidiary borrows under a bank warehousing
arrangement. Other finance subsidiaries formerly borrowed from a multi-
builder owned financial corporation and a builder owned financial corporation
to finance mortgage backed securities, but in fiscal 1988 decided to cease
further borrowing from multi-builder and builder owned financial corporations.
These non-recourse borrowings have been generally secured by mortgage loans
originated by one of our subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2001, the aggregate
principal amount of all such borrowings was $56,543,000.
Total inventory increased $148,938,000 during the six months ended April
30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the merger with Washington Homes,
Inc. In addition, inventory levels increased in most of our housing markets.
Substantially all homes under construction or completed and included in
inventory at April 30, 2001 are expected to be closed during the next twelve
months. Most inventory completed or under development is financed through our
line of credit and subordinated indebtedness.

Financial Services - Mortgage loans held for sale consist of residential
mortgages receivable of which $72,709,000 and $61,549,000 at April 30, 2001
and October 31, 2000, respectively, are being temporarily warehoused and
awaiting sale in the secondary mortgage market. The balance of such mortgages
is being held as an investment by us. We may incur risk with respect to
mortgages that are delinquent, but only to the extent the losses are not
covered by mortgage insurance or resale value of the house. Historically, we
have incurred minimal credit losses. Collateralized Mortgage Financing -
Collateral for bonds payable consist of collateralized mortgages receivable
which are pledged against non-recourse collateralized mortgage obligations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2001
COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000
Our operations consist primarily of residential housing development and
sales in our Northeast Region (comprising of New Jersey, southern New York
State and eastern Pennsylvania), North Carolina, Metro D. C. (northern
Virginia and Maryland), southern California, Texas, the Mid South (Tennessee,
Alabama, and Mississippi), and Poland. Our Mid South operations are the
result of the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. In addition, we provide
financial services to our homebuilding customers.
Important indicators of the future results are recently signed contracts
and home contract backlog for future deliveries. Our sales contracts and
homes in contract (using base sales prices) by market area are set forth
below:

increase in financial services revenues.
Homebuilding:
Revenues from the sale of homes increased $158.2 million or 67% during

We sell a variety of home types in various local communities, each
yielding a different gross margin. As a result, depending on the mix of both
communities and of home types delivered, consolidated quarterly gross margin
will fluctuate up or down and may not be representative of the consolidated
gross margin for the year. In addition, gross margin percentages are higher
in the Northeast Region compared to our other markets. For the three months
ended April 30, 2001 our gross margin percentage slightly decreased 0.2%
compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due to increased
activity in Metro D. C., North Carolina, and added markets in the Mid South
that report lower margins. The increased activity in these areas is the
result of the merger with Washington Homes, Inc. For the six months ended
April 30, 2001 our gross margin percentage increased 1.4% compared to the same
period last year. This can be attributable to improved gross margins in the
Northeast Region and Texas The improvements are primarily attributed to
increased sales prices and tighter cost controls.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total
homebuilding revenues decreased to 8.8% for the three months ended April 30,
2001 from 10.8% for the prior year's three months and decreased to 9.2% for
the six months ended April 30, 2001 from 10.3% for the prior year's six
months. Such expenses increased during the three and six months ended April
30, 2001 $9.1 million and $12.4 million, respectively, compared to the same
periods last year. The dollar increase in selling, general, and
administrative is due to increased advertising and selling costs in California
due to the addition of five new communities, increases in administrative costs
in our Northeast Region and Texas due to increased bonus accruals, and the
addition of Washington Homes, Inc.
Land Sales and Other Revenues:
Land sales and other revenues consist primarily of land and lot sales.
A breakout of land and lot sales is set forth below:

Land and lot sales are incidental to our residential housing operations
and are expected to continue in the future but may significantly fluctuate up
or down.
Financial Services
Financial services consist primarily of originating mortgages from our
homebuyers, selling such mortgages in the secondary market, and title
insurance activities. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2001
financial services provided a $2.0 million and $3.8 million profit before
income taxes compared to a loss of $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the same
periods in 2000. These increases are primarily due to a change in management,
reduced costs, and increased mortgage loan amounts. In addition to our
wholly-owned mortgage facillity, customers obtained mortgages from our
mortgage joint ventures in our Texas and Washington Homes divisions.
Collateralized Mortgage Financing
In the years prior to February 29, 1988 we pledged mortgage loans
originated by our mortgage banking subsidiaries against collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMO's"). Subsequently we discontinued our CMO program.
As a result, CMO operations are diminishing as pledged loans are decreasing
through principal amortization and loan payoffs, and related bonds are
reduced. In recent years, as a result of bonds becoming callable, we have
also sold a portion of our CMO pledged mortgages.
Corporate General and Administrative
Corporate general and administrative expenses include the operations at
our headquarters in Red Bank, New Jersey. Such expenses include our executive
offices, information services, human resources, corporate accounting,
training, treasury, process redesign, internal audit, construction services,
and administration of insurance, quality, and safety. As a percentage of
total revenues such expenses decreased to 2.3% for the three months ended
April 30, 2001 from 3.1% for the prior year's three months and decreased to
2.8% for the six months ended April 30, 2001 from 2.9% for the prior year's
six months. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $1.9
million and $4.9 million during the three and six months ended April 30, 2001
compared to the same periods last year. Increases in corporate general and
administrative expenses are primarily attributed to less process redesign
costs associated with SAP capitalized during the three and six months ended
April 30, 2001 compared to the same period last year, increased depreciation
resulting from capitalized process redesign costs in prior years, and
increased bonus accruals based upon increased return on equity and increased
staff levels in order to serve a much larger company resulting from the merger
with Washington Homes, Inc. Process redesign costs are capitalized in
accordance with SOP 98-1 "Accounting For the Cost of Computer Software
Development For or Obtained for Internal Use".
Interest
Interest expense includes housing and land and lot interest. Interest
expense is broken down as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
April 30, April 30,
------------------ -------------------
2001 2000 2001 2000
-------- -------- -------- --------
Sale of Homes.............. $ 13,893 $ 7,732 $ 23,165 $ 15,409
Land and Lot Sales......... 56 48 289 239
-------- -------- -------- --------
Total...................... $ 13,949 $ 7,780 $ 23,454 $ 15,648
======== ======== ======== ========
Housing interest as a percentage of sale of homes revenues slightly
increased to 3.5% and 3.4% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001,
respectively, compared to 3.3% and 3.2% for the three and six months ended
April 30, 2000, respectively.
Other Operations
Other operations consist primarily of miscellaneous residential housing
operations expenses, senior residential property operations, amortization of
senior and subordinated note issuance expenses, amortization of goodwill from
homebuilding company acquisitions, earnout payments from homebuilding company
acquisitions and corporate owned life insurance loan interest.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges are estimated expenses associated with the
integration of our operations with those of Washington Homes, Inc. These
expenses are salaries, severance and outplacement costs for the termination of
associates, and costs to close and relocate existing administrative offices,
and lost rent and leasehold improvements. At April 30, 2001, $686,000 has
been charged against the $1.7 million accrual for termination and related
costs while $369,000 has been charged against the $0.8 million accrual
established for closing and relocation costs.
Total Taxes
Total taxes as a percentage of income before taxes amounted to
approximately 38.5% and 32.4% for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively. The increase in this percentage from 2000 to 2001 is
primarily attributed to an increase in the effective federal income tax rate.
The increased effective rate is due primarily to higher amounts of expenses in
2001 not deductible for federal taxes and a reduced effect of our senior
rental tax credits. Although the credits are the same in 2001 and 2000, they
reduce our effective tax rate less when pretax profits are higher. Deferred
federal and state income tax assets primarily represent the deferred tax
benefits arising from temporary differences between book and tax income which
will be recognized in future years as an offset against future taxable income.
If for some reason the combination of future years income (or loss) combined
with the reversal of the timing differences results in a loss, such losses can
be carried back to prior years to recover the deferred tax assets. As a
result, management is confident such deferred tax assets are recoverable
regardless of future income.
Inflation
Inflation has a long-term effect on us because increasing costs of land,
materials, and labor result in increasing sale prices of our homes. In
general, these price increases have been commensurate with the general rate of
inflation in our housing markets and have not had a significant adverse effect
on the sale of our homes. A significant risk faced by the housing industry
generally is that rising house costs, including land and interest costs, will
substantially outpace increases in the income of potential purchasers. In
recent years, in the price ranges in which our homes sell, we have not found
this risk to be a significant problem.
Inflation has a lesser short-term effect on us because we generally
negotiate fixed price contracts with our subcontractors and material suppliers
for the construction of our homes. These prices usually are applicable for a
specified number of residential buildings or for a time period of between four
to twelve months. Construction costs for residential buildings represent
approximately 57% of our homebuilding cost of sales.
Merger With Washington Homes, Inc.
On January 23, 2001 we merged with Washington Homes, Inc. for a total
purchase price of $87.4 million, of which $38.5 was paid in cash and 6,352,900
shares of our Class A common stock were issued. The addition of Washington
Homes operations for slightly more than three full quarters is expected to
increase revenues more than 40% in fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000.
