business. Certain directors and officers of the Company are the trustees and
officers of the Foundation.

G.    Lines of Credit

         Homebuilding - The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit
with a group of lenders for support of its homebuilding operations (the
"Homebuilding Line"). The maturity date of the Homebuilding Line was September
30, 2004 and the maximum amount available was $450,000,000 at June 30, 2002.
Commitments under the Homebuilding Line increased from $413,000,000 at March 31,
2001 to $438,000,000 in April 2001 and to $450,000,000 in June 2001. Pursuant to
the terms of the Homebuilding Line agreement, a term-out of this credit could
have commenced prior to September 30, 2004 under certain circumstances. At June
30, 2002, $165,000,000 was borrowed and $17,090,000 in letters of credit were
outstanding under the Homebuilding Line.

         On July 30, 2002, the terms of the Homebuilding Line were amended and
restated (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") to extend the
maturity date to July 29, 2006, and increase the maximum amount available from
$450,000,000 to $600,000,000 upon the Company's request, subject to additional
commitments from existing or additional participant lenders. Lender commitments
under the

                                      -7-


Homebuilding Line increased from $450,000,000 to $538,000,000 in July 2002 with
the addition of two new banks to the lending group and additional commitments
from existing banks.

         Mortgage Lending - In June 2002, the Company received an additional
$25,000,000 commitment from a participant bank on its mortgage lending bank line
of credit (the "Mortgage Line"), increasing the borrowing limit to $125,000,000.
At June 30, 2001, the borrowing limit was $125,000,000, which included a
$25,000,000 temporary increase received from a participant bank. Available
borrowings under the Mortgage Line are collateralized by mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed certificates and are limited to the value of eligible collateral
as defined. At June 30, 2002, $50,949,000 was borrowed and an additional
$22,170,000 was collateralized and available to be borrowed. The Mortgage Line
was cancelable upon 90 days' notice.

         In August 2002, the terms of the Mortgage Line were amended to allow
for a $50,000,000 temporary increase in the borrowing limit to a maximum of
$175,000,000, subject to concurrence by the participating banks. The Mortgage
Line is now cancelable upon 120 days' notice.

H.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

         The Company's mortgage lending operations are affected by, among other
things, changes in mortgage interest rates. The Company accounts for derivative
instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS
No. 133." Derivative instruments utilized in the normal course of business by
HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation, the Company's wholly owned mortgage lending
subsidiary ("HomeAmerican"), include forward sales securities commitments,
private investor sales commitments and commitments to originate mortgage loans.
The Company utilizes these commitments to manage the price risk on fluctuations
in interest rates on its mortgage loans owned and commitments to originate
mortgage loans. Such contracts are the only significant financial derivative
instruments utilized by MDC. Gains or losses related to ineffectiveness in the
hedging relationship and gains or losses on derivative instruments that do not
qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately.

         The table below summarizes MDC's results of operations (in thousands,
except per share amounts).

         Revenues for the first six months of 2002 increased by $37,847,000,
compared with the first half of 2001, primarily due to increased homebuilding
revenues resulting from a significantly higher average selling price per home
closed.

         Income before income taxes in the second quarter and first half of 2002
were lower than for the same periods in 2001, primarily due to lower operating
profits from the Company's homebuilding segment. The decreases in homebuilding
segment profits primarily resulted from lower Home Gross Margins (as defined
below) in the second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with the same
periods in 2001. These profit decreases partially were offset by increases in
operating profits from the Company's financial services segment for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2002 of $459,000 and $1,285,000, respectively, as
well as decreases in net corporate expenses of $1,212,000 and $1,505,000,
respectively, compared with the same periods in 2001.

         Home Sales Revenues and Homes Closed - Home sales revenues in the first
half of 2002 were higher than home sales revenues for the same period in 2001,
primarily due to a 5% increase in the average selling price per home closed
during the period.

         Home closings in the second quarter and first half of 2002 were
comparable to home closings for the same periods in 2001. Home closings in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002 particularly were strong in Tucson
(increases of 41% and 44%, respectively) and Nevada (increases of 46% and 18%,
respectively), as a result of the continued strong demand for new homes in these
markets. MDC closed fewer homes in both the second quarter and first six months
of 2002 in Phoenix and Virginia, because of lower home orders in these markets
in the latter half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. These lower
home orders primarily resulted from fewer active subdivisions in Phoenix and a
significant number of active subdivisions approaching close-out during that time
in both Phoenix and Virginia.

         Average Selling Price Per Home Closed - The average selling price per
home closed in the 2002 second quarter decreased $4,500, compared with the same
period in 2001. The decrease primarily was due to (1) a greater number of homes
closed in relatively lower-priced subdivisions in Southern California, Tucson
and Colorado, where the Company has focused on selling more affordable homes;
and (2) 83 homes closed in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City that were acquired from
W.L. Homes LLC (d/b/a John Laing Homes), which had selling prices significantly
lower than the Company average. Average selling prices in the second quarter of
2002 increased in Virginia and Maryland, where the Company closed a greater
number of homes in relatively higher-priced subdivisions. For the six months
ended June 30, 2002, the average selling price per home closed increased
$13,200, compared with the same period in 2001. The increase primarily was due
to (1) selling price increases in Virginia, Maryland and Phoenix, due to the
strong demand for new homes in these markets; (2) a greater number of homes
closed in relatively higher-priced subdivisions in Northern California, Nevada,
Virginia and Maryland; and (3) a higher proportion of detached homes closed in
Virginia, which generally have higher selling prices than townhomes.

         Home Gross Margins - We define "Home Gross Margins" to mean home sales
revenues less cost of goods sold (which primarily includes land and construction
costs, capitalized interest, financing costs, and a reserve for warranty
expense) as a percent of home sales revenues. Home Gross Margins for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased, compared with the same
periods in 2001, primarily due to (1) higher incentives offered and minimal
selling price increases in most of the Company's markets in the latter half of
2001, as a result of the difficult economic conditions that existed during that
time; (2) homes closed in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas that were acquired from
John Laing Homes with a lower Home Gross Margin than the Company average due, in
large part, to purchase

                                      -15-



accounting adjustments; (3) increased warranty costs in Colorado and Northern
California; and (4) the continued rising cost of land in most of the Company's
markets.

         Future Home Gross Margins may be impacted adversely by (1) competition;
(2) increases in the costs of subcontracted labor, finished lots, building
materials and other resources, to the extent that market conditions prevent the
recovery of increased costs through higher selling prices; (3) adverse weather;
and (4) shortages of subcontractor labor, finished lots and other resources. See
"Forward-Looking Statements" below.

         Orders for Homes and Backlog - Orders for homes increased 40% and 18%,
respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with the
same periods in 2001. The Company increased the number of active subdivisions to
165 at June 30, 2002 from 137 at December 31, 2001, including an additional
eight in Nevada and seven in Arizona. These additional subdivisions contributed
to year-over-year increases in second quarter home orders of over 150% in Nevada
and 26% in Arizona. Second quarter 2002 home orders increased a combined 53% in
Southern and Northern California, compared with the 2001 second quarter,
primarily resulting from the strong demand for new homes in these markets. In
addition, the Company opened 36 new model homes in the first six months of 2002
in Colorado, contributing to the 18% increase in second quarter 2002 home orders
in this market, compared with the same period in 2001.

         Homes under contract but not yet delivered ("Backlog") at June 30, 2002
was 4,935 units with an estimated sales value of $1,300,000,000, compared with a
Backlog of 4,372 units with an estimated sales value of $1,110,000,000 at June
30, 2001. Assuming no significant change in market conditions or mortgage
interest rates, the Company expects approximately 70% to 75% of its June 30,
2002 Backlog to close under existing sales contracts during the second half of
2002 and first quarter of 2003. The remaining 25% to 30% of the homes in Backlog
are not expected to close under existing contracts due to cancellations. See
"Forward-Looking Statements" below.

         Marketing - Marketing expenses (which include sales commissions,
advertising, amortization of deferred marketing costs, model home expenses and
other costs) totaled $27,682,000 and $53,345,000, respectively, for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with $27,064,000 and $49,917,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 2001. The increases in 2002 primarily were
due to (1) higher product advertising and deferred marketing amortization,
primarily as a result of the increased number of active subdivisions during the
second quarter and first six months of 2002, compared with the same periods in
2001; and (2) increased sales overhead resulting from the Company's expanding
home sales activities.

         General and Administrative - General and administrative expenses
increased to $24,717,000 and $46,910,000, respectively, during the second
quarter and first half of 2002, compared with $22,194,000 and $41,806,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 2001, primarily due to increased
compensation costs associated with the expanding operations in certain of the
Company's markets, most notably Phoenix, Nevada, Virginia, Southern California
and Northern California. General and administrative expenses also increased in
Utah and Nevada as a result of the Company's acquisition of most of the
homebuilding assets, and the hiring of former employees, of John Laing Homes
in these markets.

     New Homebuilding Divisions

         In February 2002, the Company announced its intent to expand into the
Dallas/Fort Worth market by hiring a division president to manage the start-up
operation. During the 2002 second quarter the Company acquired control of
approximately 300 lots in three subdivisions in this market.

         In mid-April 2002, an MDC subsidiary acquired most of the homebuilding
assets, and hired former employees, of John Laing Homes in Salt Lake City,
marking the Company's entry into this market. The assets acquired included
approximately 750 lots and 24 homes under construction in five subdivisions, as
well as options to acquire an additional 150 lots.

         HomeAmerican's operating profit for the second quarter and first half
of 2002 increased, compared with the same periods in 2001, primarily due to
higher gains on sales of mortgage loans, partially offset by lower gains on
sales of mortgage loan servicing. The principal amounts of originated and
brokered loans were $337,807,000 and $643,435,000, respectively, in the second
quarter and first half of 2002, compared with $369,236,000 and $665,546,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 2001. The reductions in the 2002 periods
primarily were due to (1) decreases in loans originated for borrowers other than
MDC home buyers; and (2) lower HomeAmerican Capture Rates (as defined below).
MDC home buyers were the source of approximately 98% and 97%, respectively, of
the principal amount of mortgage loans originated and brokered by HomeAmerican
in the second quarter and first half of 2002.

         Mortgage loans originated by HomeAmerican for MDC home buyers as a
percentage of total MDC home closings ("Capture Rate") were 69% and 71%,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with
74% and 73%, respectively, for the same periods in 2001. HomeAmerican also
brokers mortgage loans originated by outside lending institutions for MDC home
buyers. These brokered loans, for which HomeAmerican receives a fee, have been
excluded from the computation of the Capture Rate. If brokered loans were
included, the Capture Rate would have been 81% and 82%, respectively, for the
second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with 86% and 85%, respectively,
for the same periods in 2001. The decreases in Capture Rate in the 2002 periods
primarily were due to homes closed in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City that were
purchased from John Laing Homes with mortgage loans already contracted.

         Forward Sales Commitments - HomeAmerican's operations are affected by
changes in mortgage interest rates. HomeAmerican utilizes forward mortgage
securities contracts to manage price risk related

                                     -18-


to fluctuations in interest rates on its fixed-rate mortgage loans owned and
rate-locked mortgage loans in the pipeline.

Other Operating Results

         Interest Expense - The Company capitalizes interest on its homebuilding
inventories during the period of active development and through the completion
of construction. Corporate and homebuilding interest incurred but not
capitalized is reported as interest expense and totaled zero for the second
quarter and first half of both 2002 and 2001.

         For a reconciliation of interest incurred, capitalized and expensed,
see Note B to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Corporate General and Administrative Expenses - Corporate general and
administrative expenses decreased to $10,434,000 and $20,494,000, respectively,
during the second quarter and first half of 2002, from $11,510,000 and
$21,916,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2001. The decreases in the
2002 periods primarily were due to contributions of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 to
the M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. Charitable Foundation in the second quarter and first
six months of 2001, respectively.

         Income Taxes - MDC's overall effective income tax rate of 39% for the
second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with 38.8% and 38.9%,
respectively, for the same periods in 2001, differed from the federal statutory
rate of 35%, primarily due to the impact of state income taxes.


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         MDC uses its liquidity and capital resources to (1) support its
operations, including its inventories of homes, home sites and land; (2) provide
working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for its home buyers. Liquidity
and capital resources are generated internally from operations and from external
sources. The Company previously filed a shelf registration statement that would
allow the Company to issue up to $300,000,000 of equity, debt or hybrid
securities.

Capital Resources

         The Company's capital structure is a combination of (1) permanent
financing, represented by stockholders' equity; (2) long-term financing,
represented by its publicly traded 8 3/8% senior notes due 2008 (the "Senior
Notes") and its homebuilding line of credit (the "Homebuilding Line"); and (3)
current financing, primarily its mortgage lending line of credit (the "Mortgage
Line"). Based upon its current capital resources and additional liquidity
available under existing credit agreements, the Company believes that its
current financial condition is both balanced to fit its current operating
structure and adequate to satisfy its current and near-term capital
requirements, including the acquisition of land. The Company believes that it
can meet its long-term capital needs (including meeting future debt payments and
refinancing or paying off other long-term debt as it becomes due) from
operations and external financing sources, assuming that no significant adverse
changes in the Company's business or in the capital and credit markets occur as
a result of the various risk factors described elsewhere in this report. See
"Forward-Looking Statements" below.

                                      -19-


Lines of Credit and Other

         Homebuilding - The maturity date of the Homebuilding Line was September
30, 2004 and the maximum amount available was $450,000,000 at June 30, 2002.
Commitments under the Homebuilding Line increased from $413,000,000 at March 31,
2001 to $438,000,000 in April 2001 and to $450,000,000 in June 2001. Pursuant to
the terms of the Homebuilding Line agreement, a term-out of this credit could
have commenced prior to September 30, 2004 under certain circumstances. At June
30, 2002, $165,000,000 was borrowed and $17,090,000 in letters of credit were
outstanding under the Homebuilding Line.

         On July 30, 2002, the terms of the Homebuilding Line were amended and
restated (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") to extend the
maturity date to July 29, 2006, and increase the maximum amount available from
$450,000,000 to $600,000,000 upon the Company's request, subject to additional
commitments from existing or additional participant lenders. Lender commitments
under the Homebuilding Line increased from $450,000,000 to $538,000,000 in July
2002 with the addition of two new banks to the lending group and additional
commitments from existing banks.

         Mortgage Lending - In June 2002, the Company received an additional
$25,000,000 commitment from a participant bank on its mortgage lending bank line
of credit (the "Mortgage Line"), increasing the borrowing limit to $125,000,000.
At June 30, 2001, the borrowing limit was $125,000,000, which included a
$25,000,000 temporary increase received from a participant bank. Available
borrowings under the Mortgage Line are collateralized by mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed certificates and are limited to the value of eligible collateral
as defined. At June 30, 2002, $50,949,000 was borrowed and an additional
$22,170,000 was collateralized and available to be borrowed. The Mortgage Line
was cancelable upon 90 days' notice.

         In August 2002, the terms of the Mortgage Line were amended to allow
for a $50,000,000 temporary increase in the borrowing limit to a maximum of
$175,000,000, subject to concurrence by the participating banks. The Mortgage
Line is now cancelable upon 120 days' notice.

         General - The agreements for the Company's Senior Notes and bank lines
of credit require compliance with certain representations, warranties and
covenants. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these
representations, warranties and covenants. The agreements containing these
representations, warranties and covenants for the Senior Notes are on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and are listed in the Exhibit Table in
Part IV of MDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December
31, 2001. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the Homebuilding
Line is filed with this report.

         The financial covenants contained in the Homebuilding Line agreement,
as modified by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, include a
leverage test and a consolidated tangible net worth test. Under the leverage
test, generally, MDC's consolidated indebtedness is not permitted to exceed 2.15
(subject to downward adjustment in certain circumstances) times MDC's "adjusted
consolidated tangible net worth," as defined. Under the adjusted consolidated
tangible net worth test, MDC's "adjusted consolidated tangible net worth," as
defined, must not be less than the sum of $491,382,000 and 50% of "consolidated
net income," as defined, of the "borrower," as defined, and the "guarantors," as
defined, after December 31, 2001. In addition, "adjusted consolidated tangible
net worth," as defined, must not be less than $307,114,000.

                                     -20-



         The Company's Senior Notes indenture does not contain financial
covenants. However, there are covenants that limit transactions with affiliates,
limit the amount of additional indebtedness that MDC may incur, restrict certain
payments on, or the redemptions of, the Company's securities, restrict certain
sales of assets and limit incurring liens. In addition, under certain
circumstances, in the event of a change of control (generally a sale, transfer,
merger or acquisition of MDC or substantially all of its assets), MDC may be
required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are not
secured, but are unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and
severally, by most of the Company's homebuilding segment subsidiaries. See Note
I to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

MDC Common Stock Repurchase Programs

         On January 24, 2000, the MDC board of directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of MDC common stock. On February 21, 2000,
the MDC board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000
additional shares of MDC common stock. The Company repurchased a total of
2,064,300 shares of MDC common stock under these programs through June 30, 2002,
leaving 935,700 shares available to be repurchased as of such date under these
programs. The per share prices, including commissions, for these repurchases
ranged from $13.53 to $29.02 with an average cost of $16.80. At June 30, 2002,
the Company held 4,721,000 shares of treasury stock with an average purchase
price of $9.45. No shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Consolidated Cash Flow

         During the first six months of 2002, the Company used $123,317,000 of
cash in its operating activities. Cash provided by net income for the period,
the sale of mortgage loans and an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, collectively, was more than offset by cash used to build homebuilding
inventories in support of the Company's expanding homebuilding activities. The
Company financed these operating cash requirements primarily through borrowings
on its bank lines of credit.

         During the first six months of 2001, the Company used $37,088,000 of
cash in its operating activities. Cash provided by net income for the period and
an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was more than offset by an
increase in homebuilding inventories in support of the Company's expanding
homebuilding activities. The Company financed these operating cash requirements
primarily through borrowings on its bank lines of credit.


          IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS


         Real estate and residential housing prices are affected by inflation,
which can cause increases in the price of land, raw materials and subcontracted
labor. Unless these increased costs are recovered through higher sales prices,
Home Gross Margins would decrease. If interest rates increase, construction and
financing costs, as well as the cost of borrowings, also would increase, which
can result in lower Home Gross Margins. Increases in home mortgage interest
rates make it more difficult for MDC's customers to qualify for home mortgage
loans, potentially decreasing home sales revenue. Increases in interest rates
also may affect adversely the volume of mortgage loan originations.

                                     -21-



         The volatility of interest rates could have an adverse effect on MDC's
future operations and liquidity. An increase in interest rates may affect
adversely the demand for housing and the availability of mortgage financing and
may reduce the credit facilities offered to MDC by banks, investment bankers and
mortgage bankers. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

         MDC's business also is affected significantly by general economic
conditions and, particularly, the demand for new homes in the markets in which
it builds.


                          CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


         The Company's critical accounting policies are those related to (1)
homebuilding inventory valuation; (2) estimates to complete land development and
home construction; (3) warranty costs; and (4) litigation reserves. These
policies are more fully described in the notes to the Company's consolidated
financial statements in MDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in
interest rates on mortgage loans receivable and debt. Derivative instruments
utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include forward sales
securities commitments, private investor sales commitments and commitments to
originate mortgage loans. The Company utilizes these commitments to manage the
price risk on fluctuations in interest rates on its mortgage loans owned and
commitments to originate mortgage loans. Such contracts are the only significant
financial derivative instruments utilized by MDC.

         HomeAmerican provides mortgage loans that generally are sold forward
and subsequently delivered to a third-party purchaser within approximately 40
days from origination. Forward commitments are used for non-trading purposes to
sell mortgage loans and hedge price risk due to fluctuations in interest rates
on rate-locked mortgage loans-in-process that have not closed. Due to this
hedging philosophy, the market risk associated with these mortgages is limited.

         The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term debt in its
financing strategy. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally
affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not the Company's earnings or
cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates
generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect
the Company's future earnings and cash flows. The Company does not have an
obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result,
interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant
impact on the fixed rate debt until the Company would be required to pay off or
refinance such debt.

         As of June 30, 2002, short-term debt was $50,949,000, which consisted
of amounts outstanding on MDC's Mortgage Line. The Mortgage Line is
collateralized by residential mortgage loans. The Company borrows on a
short-term basis from banks under committed lines of credit, which bear interest
at the prevailing market rates. Long-term debt obligations outstanding, their
maturities and estimated fair values at June 30, 2002 are as follows (in
thousands).

repricing and cash flow characteristics that mitigate the impact of interest
rate changes.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- ------   -----------------

         The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates have been
named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the
outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

         Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, and in the ordinary
course of its operations, the Company from time to time may be subject to
product liability claims.

         The Company is not aware of any litigation, matter or pending claim
against the Company that would result in material contingent liabilities related
to environmental hazards or asbestos.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREOWNERS.
- ------   ----------------------------------------------

         MDC held its Annual Meeting of Shareowners (the "Meeting") on April 25,
2002. At the Meeting, Gilbert Goldstein and William B. Kemper were re-elected as
Class II Directors for three-year terms, expiring in 2005.


ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION.
- ------   -----------------

         On July 22, 2002, the Company's board of directors declared a dividend
of eight cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, payable August 21,
2002 to shareowners of record on August 7, 2002. Future dividend payments are
