ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 					CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, comparisons of certain income statement items related to the Company's operations (amounts in millions): Nine months ended July 31, Three months ended July 31, 2001 2000 2001 2000 $ % $ % $ % $ % Housing sales Revenues 1,529.4 1,160.4 573.5 452.2 Costs 1,131.1 74.0 887.3 76.5 417.8 72.8 342.0 75.6 Land sales Revenues 25.2 30.1 2.7 9.5 Costs 19.6 77.9 23.3 77.4 2.1 75.4 7.6 79.8 Equity earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures 7.6 3.1 2.3 Interest and other 11.7 6.0 5.5 2.8 Total revenues 1,573.9 1,199.6 584.1 464.5 Selling, general & administrative expense* 152.9 9.7 119.3 10.0 54.6 9.3 44.2 9.5 Interest expense* 40.5 2.6 31.2 2.6 15.5 2.7 11.9 2.6 Total costs and expenses* 1,344.1 85.4 1,061.1 88.5 489.9 83.9 405.7 87.3 Income before income taxes 229.7 14.6 138.5 11.5 94.2 16.1 58.8 12.7 *Percentages are based on total revenues. Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding HOUSING SALES Housing revenues for the nine month and three month periods ended July 31, 2001 were higher than those of the comparable periods of 2000 by approximately $369 million, or 32%, and $121 million, or 27%, respectively. The revenue increase in the nine month period was attributable to a 15% increase in the number of homes delivered and a 14% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The increase in revenues in the three month period of fiscal 2001 was attributable to a 14% increase in the average price of the homes delivered and a 12% increase in the number of homes delivered. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered in both periods of fiscal 2001 was the result of increased selling prices and a shift in the location of homes delivered to more expensive areas. The increase in the number of homes delivered is primarily due to the larger backlog of homes to be delivered at the beginning of fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. The value of new sales contracts signed amounted to $1.69 billion (3,396 homes) in the nine month period of fiscal 2001, a 7% increase over the value of contracts signed in the nine month period of fiscal 2000 of $1.57 billion (3,322 homes). This increase is attributable to a 5% increase in the average selling price of the homes (due primarily to the location and size and the increase in base selling prices) and a 2% increase in the number of units sold. For the three months ended July 31, 2001, the value of contracts signed increased 2% over the comparable period of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of units sold. The increase in the number of signed contracts for the nine month and three month periods of fiscal 2001 was negatively impacted by temporary delays in the opening of a number of new communities and in the opening of new sections of several existing communities. These delays were caused by an increase in government regulation in many of the Company's markets. The Company expects to have approximately 160 selling communities as of October 31, 2001 compared to 142 as of July 31, 2001 and 146 as of October 31, 2000. As of July 31, 2001, the backlog of homes under contract was $1.58 billion (3,055 homes), approximately 8% higher than the $1.47 billion (2,983 homes) backlog as of July 31, 2000 and approximately 10% higher than the $1.43 billion (2,779 homes) backlog as of October 31, 2000. The increase in backlog at July 31, 2001 is primarily attributable to the increase in the number of new contracts signed and price increases in fiscal 2001, as previously discussed. Based on the Company's current backlog, we believe that fiscal 2001 will be another record year. Housing costs as a percentage of housing sales decreased in both periods of fiscal 2001 as compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2000. The decreases were largely the result of selling prices increasing at a greater rate than costs, lower land and improvement costs and improved operating efficiencies offset in part by higher inventory write-offs. The Company incurred $6.6 million and $2.3 million in write-offs in the nine month and three month periods of fiscal 2001, respectively, as compared to $5.0 million and $.9 million in the comparable periods of fiscal 2000. LAND SALES The Company operates a land development and sales operation in Loudoun County, Virginia. The Company is also developing several master planned communities in which it may sell land to other builders. The amount of land sales will vary from quarter to quarter depending upon the scheduled timing of the delivery of the land parcels. Land sales amounted to $25.2 million and $2.7 million for the nine months and three months ended July 31, 2001, respectively, as compared to $30.1 million and $9.5 million for the comparable periods of 2000. EQUITY EARNINGS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES In fiscal 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture to develop and sell land owned by its venture partner. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the right to purchase up to a specified number of lots with the majority of the lots to be sold to other builders. In the quarter ended April 30, 2000, the joint venture sold its first group of lots to other builders and to the Company. The Company recognizes its share of earnings from the sale of lots to other builders but does not recognize earnings from lots it purchases. It reduces its cost basis in the lots it purchases from the joint venture by its share of the earnings on those lots. Earnings from this joint venture will vary significantly from quarter to quarter. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME Interest and other income increased $5.7 million in the nine month period ended July 31, 2001 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2000. The increase was principally due to an increase in interest income, the gain from the sale of an office building constructed by the Company, an increase in earnings from the Company's ancillary businesses, offset in part by reduced management fee income in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 and gains from the sale of miscellaneous assets recognized in fiscal 2000. For the three months ended July 31, 2001, interest and other income increased $2.7 million as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2000. This increase was primarily the result of a gain realized on the sale of an office building constructed by the Company, an increase in interest income, an increase in earnings from the Company's ancillary businesses, offset in part by reduced management fees in fiscal 2001 compared to 2000 and gains from the sale of miscellaneous assets recognized in fiscal 2000. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A") SG&A spending increased by $33.6 million or 28% and $10.4 million or 23% in the nine month and three month periods ended July 31, 2001 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2000. This increased spending was primarily due to the increase in housing revenues in fiscal 2001 as compared to 2000 and spending related to the development of its master planned communities. INTEREST EXPENSE The Company determines interest expense on a specific lot-by-lot basis for its homebuilding operations and on a parcel-by-parcel basis for its land sales. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense will vary depending on many factors including the period of time that the land was owned, the length of time that the homes delivered during the period were under construction, and the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by the Company in proportion to the amount of its inventory during those periods. Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was approximately the same in both periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000. INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Income before taxes increased 66% in the nine month and 60% in the three month period of fiscal 2001 over the same periods of fiscal 2000. INCOME TAXES Income taxes were provided at an effective rate of 36.8% for the nine month periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000. For the three month periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000, income taxes were provided at 36.9% and 36.7%, respectively. The difference in rates in the three month periods was due primarily to higher tax free income in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 2001. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Funding for the Company's operations has been principally provided by cash flows from operations, unsecured bank borrowings and the public debt and equity markets. Cash flow from operations, before inventory additions, has improved as operating results have improved. The Company has used the cash flow from operations, bank borrowings and public debt to acquire additional land for new communities, to fund additional expenditures for land development and construction costs needed to meet the requirements of the increased backlog and continuing expansion of the number of communities in which the Company is offering homes for sale, to repurchase Company stock and to repay debt. The Company expects that inventory will continue to increase and is currently negotiating and searching for additional opportunities to obtain control of land for future communities. The Company has a $485 million unsecured revolving credit facility with fourteen banks of which $445 million extends to March 2006 and $40 million extends to February 2003. As of July 31, 2001, the Company had $80 million of loans and approximately $43 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. The Company believes that it will be able to continue to fund its activities through a combination of existing cash resources, cash flow from operations and existing sources of credit.
