D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 1997
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the D.R. Horton, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries.
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1997.
NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.
NOTE C - PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax liabilities and assets, arising from temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes, consist primarily of differences
in depreciation, warranty costs and inventory cost capitalization methods and
were, as of June 30, 1997, not significant.
The provisions for income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, are based on the effective tax rates estimated to be in
effect for the respective years. The deferred income tax provisions were not
significant in either period.
The difference between income tax expense and tax computed by applying the
statutory Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes is due primarily
to the effect of applicable state income taxes.

NOTE E - CAPITALIZATION
During 1997, the Company completed the sale of 3,838,800 additional shares of
common stock. The net proceeds of approximately $40.0 million, were used to
retire debt and for general corporate purposes.
On July 24, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $.02 per common share.
NOTE F - ACQUISITIONS
In October, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the principal assets
(approximately $7.7 million, primarily inventories) of Trimark Communities,
L.L.C., of Denver, Colorado, for $6.8 million in cash and the assumption of
approximately $1.0 million in trade accounts and notes payable associated with
the acquired assets.
In December, 1996, the Company purchased the principal assets (approximately
$19.5 million, primarily inventories) of SGS Communities, Inc., of New Jersey,
for $10.6 million in cash and the assumption of $10.1 million in trade accounts
and notes payable associated with the acquired assets.
In February, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding capital stock of the entities comprising the Torrey Group (Torrey)
of Atlanta, Georgia, and certain assets of affiliated partnerships, for $37.5
million in cash, 844,444 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock,
valued at $9.2 million, and a contingent payment estimated at $1 million. The
estimated market value of the assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, amounts
to $24.3 million.
At July 25, 1997, the determination of the final valuation of the Torrey
acquisition had not been completed. Any subsequent adjustments to the beginning
balance sheet valuation amounts estimated herein will be recorded in future
periods as adjustments to the excess of cost over net assets acquired and
amortized over 20 years.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial data give effect to the
Torrey acquisition as if it had occurred on the first day of the period. The pro
forma information has been prepared utilizing the historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company and Torrey. It does not include any
adjustments for anticipated cost savings expected to be achieved as a result of
the acquisition. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and notes thereto. The pro forma financial
information is provided for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of the results which would have been obtained if the Torrey
acquisition had been effected throughout the period. The pro forma financial
information is based upon the purchase method of accounting.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased by 74.5%, to $250.1
million, from $143.3 million in the comparable period of 1996. The number of
homes closed by the Company increased by 72.2%, to 1,481 homes in the three
months ended June 30, 1997, from 860 in the same period of 1996. Percentage
increases in the number of homes closed ranging from 23.3% to 188.2% were
achieved in four of the Company's five market regions, with a 4.6% decline in
the Midwest region. The increases in both revenues and homes closed were due in
part to Torrey, which was acquired in February, 1997. In the three months ended
June 30, 1997, the Torrey Group closed 358 homes, with revenues totalling $53.6
million. Torrey comprised 24.2% of the homes closed in the period, and 21.4% of
the revenues generated. Excluding Torrey, revenues increased by 37.2%, to $196.5
million in the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The average selling price of homes closed in the three months ended June 30,
1997, was $168,700, an increase of 1.5% over the $166,200 average selling price
in the comparable period of 1996. The increase in average selling price was
attributable to differences in the geographic mix of markets in which homes were
closed.
New net sales contracts increased 62.3%, to 1,617 homes for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, from 996 homes for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Torrey had 404 home sales contracts during the current period. Excluding Torrey,
sales contracts were 1,213 homes in the current three-month period, a 21.8%
increase over 1996.
The Company was operating in 331 subdivisions at June 30, 1997, compared to 180
subdivisions at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, the Company's backlog of sales
contracts was 1,977 homes, a 37.9% increase over comparable figures at June 30,
1996. At June 30, 1997, Torrey had 394 homes in sales backlog. Excluding Torrey,
the sales backlog at June 30, 1997, was 1,583 homes, a 10.4% increase over 1996.
Cost of sales increased by 75.4%, to $205.9 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997, from $117.4 million in the comparable period of 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues. As a percentage
of revenues, cost of sales for the quarter increased to 82.3% in 1997 from 81.9%
in 1996.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased by 92.2%, to $27.1
million in the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $14.1 million in the
comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense for the
quarter increased 1.0%, to 10.8% in 1997 from 9.8% in 1996. The increase in SG&A
expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to costs associated with
integrating the three 1997 acquisitions into the Company.
Interest expense totalled $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $0.2 million in the comparable period of 1996. The Company follows a
policy of capitalizing interest only on inventory under construction or
development. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company expensed a
larger portion of incurred interest and other financing costs due to increased
levels of developed lots and finished homes. Capitalized interest and other
financing costs are included in cost of sales at the time of home closings.
Other income, which consists mainly of interest income and the pre-tax earnings
of the DRH Title Companies and DRH Mortgage Company, Ltd., increased to $754,000
in the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $449,000 in the same period of
1996.
The provision for income taxes increased 38.6%, to $6.4 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1997, from $4.6 million in the comparable period of 1996,
due primarily to the increase in taxable income and an increase in the overall
estimated income tax rate anticipated for fiscal 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, increased by 46.4%, to $554.1
million, from $378.4 million in the comparable period of 1996. The number of
homes closed by the Company increased by 44.4%, to 3,306 in the nine months
ended June 30, 1997, from 2,289 in the same period of 1996. Percentage increases
in revenues ranging from 14.8% to 106.3% were achieved in each of the Company's
market regions. The increases in both revenues and homes closed were due in part
to the acquisition of Torrey in February, 1997. In the nine months ended June
30, 1997, Torrey closed 528 homes, generating $77.7 million in revenues. Torrey
comprised 16.0% of the homes closed in the period, and 14.0% of the revenues
generated. Excluding Torrey, revenues increased by 25.9%, to $476.4 million in
the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
The average selling price of homes closed in the nine months ended June 30,
1997, was $167,400, a 1.3% increase over the comparable period of 1996. The
increase in average sales price was attributable to differences in the
geographic mix of markets in which homes were closed.
New net sales contracts increased 34.0%, to 3,649 homes for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997, from 2,723 homes for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.
Percentage increases in the value of new net sales contracts ranging from 4.0%
to 109.3% were achieved in four of the Company's five market regions, with a
12.7% decline in the Midwest region. Torrey had 595 home sales contracts during
the current period. Excluding Torrey, new sales contracts were 3,054 homes in
the current nine-month period, a 12.2% increase over the comparable period of
1996.
Cost of sales increased by 46.0%, to $453.7 million in the nine months ended
June 30, 1997, from $310.8 million in the comparable period of 1996. The
increase was attributable to the increase in revenues, as the cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 81.9% in the nine months ended June 30,
1997, from 82.1% in the same period of 1996.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased by 57.7%, to $61.0
million in the nine months ended June 30, 1997, from $38.7 million in the
comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense increased
to 11.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, from 10.2% for the same period
of 1996. The increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues is partially
due to the costs associated with integrating the three 1997 acquisitions into
the Company.
Interest expense during the nine months ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $3.3
million, compared to $1.2 million in the comparable period of 1996. The Company
follows a policy of capitalizing interest only on inventory under construction
or development. During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company expensed
a larger portion of incurred interest and other financing costs due to increased
levels of developed lots and finished homes. Capitalized interest and other
financing costs are included in cost of sales at the time of home closings.
Other income, which consists mainly of interest income and the pre-tax earnings
of the DRH Title Companies and DRH Mortgage Company, Ltd., increased to
$1,876,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 1997, from $1,046,000 in the same
period of 1996.
The provision for income taxes increased by 34.9%, to $14.6 million in the nine
months ended June 30, 1997, from $10.8 million in the comparable period of 1996,
due primarily to the increase in taxable income and an increase in the overall
estimated income tax rate anticipated for fiscal 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1997, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of $56.4
million. Inventories (including finished homes, construction in progress, and
developed residential lots and other land) at June 30, 1997, had increased by
$232.7 million since September 30, 1996, due to the acquisitions of the assets
(primarily inventories) of Trimark and SGS and the purchase of Torrey.
Inventories also increased due to a general increase in business activity and
the expansion of operations in the newer market areas. The inventory increase
and the acquisitions were financed by borrowing, $40.0 million raised from the
public sale of 3.8 million shares of the Company's common stock, the issuance of
0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock as partial consideration for
the Torrey acquisition, and $147.4 million net proceeds of a $150 million
issuance of public debt. As a result, the Company's ratio of notes payable to
total capital at June 30, 1997, increased to 59.0%, from 48.9% at September 30,
1996. The Company's equity to total assets ratio was 35.7% at June 30, 1997,
compared to the September 30, 1996 level of 44.1%.
In June, 1997, the Company increased and restructured its major unsecured bank
credit facility, to $625 million. The restructured facility consists of a $200
million five-year term loan, a $400 million four-year revolving loan, and a $25
million four-year letter of credit facility. The restructured facility, along
with another $25 million unsecured bank credit facility, brings the Company's
total borrowing capacity from banks to $625 million.
In June, 1997, the Company sold to the public under its shelf registration
statement $150,000,000 of 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2004, realizing net proceeds
of $147.4 million.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding debt under the unsecured bank
facilities, senior notes, and other credit agreements, of $360.2 million, of
which $207.5 million represented advances under existing bank credit facilities.
Based upon the most restrictive existing debt covenants, at June 30, 1997, the
Company had additional borrowing capacity of $129 million.
During fiscal 1997, the Company's Board of Directors has declared three
quarterly cash dividends of $.02 per common share, the last of which is payable
on August 22, 1997, to stockholders of record on August 8, 1997.
The Company has made three acquisitions during fiscal 1997. In October, 1996,
the Company completed the acquisition of the principal assets (approximately
$7.7 million, primarily inventories) of Trimark for $6.8 million in cash and the
assumption of approximately $1.0 million in trade accounts and notes payable
associated with the acquired assets. In December, 1996, the Company purchased
the principal assets (approximately $19.5 million, primarily inventories) of SGS
for $10.6 million in cash and the assumption of $10.1 million in trade accounts
and notes payable associated with the acquired assets. In February, 1997, the
Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of the
entities comprising Torrey and purchased assets from affiliated entities. The
Company paid consideration consisting of $37.5 million in cash and 844,444 newly
issued, restricted shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $9.2 million,
and agreed to a contingent payment estimated at $1 million. Estimated market
values of the net assets acquired in the Torrey acquisition total $24.3 million.
The Company's rapid growth and acquisition strategy require significant amounts
of cash. It is anticipated that future home construction, lot and land purchases
and acquisitions will be funded through internally generated funds and existing
credit facilities. The Company maintains a shelf registration statement for debt
securities and common and preferred stock aggregating $100 million. Market
conditions will determine when and whether the Company will sell additional
securities using this registration statement.
Except for ordinary expenditures for the construction of homes, the acquisition
of land and lots for development and sale of homes, at June 30, 1996, the
Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
