1.      Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of NVR, Inc. ("NVR" or 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. Because the accompanying condensed
financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles, they should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 nine month
period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

2.      Adoption of New Accounting Principle

        During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Such adoption
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased
approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase
price of $35,475. Approximately 172,000 of those shares were reissued from the
treasury during February 1997 in satisfaction of an employee benefit liability
accrued at December 31, 1996. The average cost basis for the shares reissued
from the treasury was $13.97 per share. In addition, approximately 92,900
options were exercised during the first nine months of 1997, with NVR realizing
approximately $657 in aggregate equity proceeds.

4.      Debt

        In June 1997, the Company amended its working capital revolving credit
facility with a syndicate of financial institutions(the "Facility") to provide
for a three year term expiring on May 31, 2000. The Facility continues to
provide for borrowings up to $60,000. The amended Facility resulted in a more
favorable borrowing rate and a reduction in certain fees. The other terms and
conditions are substantially the same as those under the facility in effect at
December 31, 1996.

        In June 1997, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVR Finance") renewed its
mortgage warehouse facility for two years. The available borrowing limit
remained at $105,000. The other terms and conditions are substantially the same
as those in effect at December 31, 1996.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, NVR Finance entered into an
additional annually renewable, uncommitted gestation mortgage-backed security
repurchase agreement (the "Repo Facility"). The maximum amount available under
the Repo Facility is $45,000, bringing NVR's total available borrowings under
all such similar agreements to $145,000. Amounts outstanding under the Repo
Facility accrue interest at various rates tied to the federal funds rate,
depending on the type of collateral, and are collateralized by gestation
mortgage-backed securities. The covenants under the Repo Facility are consistent
with NVR Finance's mortgage warehouse credit facility.

5.      Earning Per Share

      Primary and fully-diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing
net income by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents represent the dilutive impact of the assumed exercise of certain
outstanding stock options and, in the 1996 period, warrants. Both calculations
are made using the modified treasury stock method pursuant to Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share. Dilution occurs for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 because the end of period
market price for the Company's common stock of $26.00 per share used to
calculate the number of common stock equivalents for fully diluted earnings per
share was higher than the weighted average stock prices used to calculate common
stock equivalents for primary earnings per share. Earnings per share for each of
the periods presented is calculated as follows:

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                             (dollars in thousands)

     NVR, Inc. ("NVR" or the "Company") is a holding company that operates in
two business segments: homebuilding and financial services. Holding company
general and administrative expenses are fully allocated to the homebuilding and
financial services segments in the information presented below.

Homebuilding Segment

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

        During the third quarter of 1997, homebuilding operations generated
revenues of $316,874 compared to revenues of $312,658 in the third quarter of
1996. The change in revenues is primarily due to a 2.0% decrease in the number
of homes settled from 1,672 in 1996 to 1,639 in 1997 and to a 3.3% increase in
the average settlement price from $186.0 in 1996 to $192.1 in 1997. New orders
of 1,366 during the third quarter of 1997 increased 41.0% compared with the 969
new orders generated during the same 1996 period. The increase in new orders is
attributable to higher sales in the Company's core Baltimore and Washington
markets due to an improved interest rate environment in the current period as
compared to the prior year third quarter, as well as to sales associated with
the Company's expansion markets.

        Gross profit margins in the third quarter of 1997 increased to 14.1%
compared to 13.5% for the same 1996 quarter. The increase in gross profit
margins from the prior year quarter was primarily due to more favorable market
conditions in certain of the Company's markets as compared to the prior year
quarter, and continued emphasis on controlling construction costs.

        SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 1997 increased both in dollars
and as a percentage of revenues compared to the prior year 1996 quarter. A
portion of the increase was due to a non-recurring $1,600 incentive payment
earned by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Plan of Reorganization that became effective on September 30, 1993.
Additionally, the increase is also partially attributable to a net quarter to
quarter increase in costs associated with certain management incentive plans, as
well as to costs incurred to grow the Company's expansion markets to full
operational levels.

        Backlog units and dollars were 2,870 and $553,409, respectively, at
September 30, 1997 compared to 2,398 and $436,487, respectively, at September
30, 1996. The increase in backlog units and dollars is primarily attributable to
a 23% increase in new orders for the six month period ended September 30, 1997
compared to the same 1996 period.

        The Company believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA") provides a meaningful comparison of operating
performance of the homebuilding segment because it excludes the amortization of
certain intangible assets. Although the Company believes the calculation is
helpful in understanding the performance of the homebuilding segment, EBITDA
should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow as indicators
of the Company's financial performance or its ability to generate liquidity.

        Homebuilding EBITDA in the third quarter of 1997 was $1,444 or 6.4%
higher than in the third quarter of 1996, and as a percentage of revenues
increased to 7.6% from 7.2%.


Financial Services Segment

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

        The financial services segment generated operating income of $1,336 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to operating income of $416
during the same period in 1996. Loan closings were $396,117 and $338,895 during
the respective quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, representing an
increase of 17% in 1997. This result was achieved despite continued price
competition in the mortgage banking market.

        Mortgage banking fees had a net increase of $182, representing a 3%
increase when comparing the respective quarters of September 30, 1997 and 1996.
Mortgage banking fees have been impacted by the lower servicing fee income
resulting from the decrease in the servicing portfolio. This has been offset by
the lower loss on the sale of servicing rights during the 1997 period. A summary
of mortgage banking fees is noted below:

                                                   ===========     ===========
 

        Effective during the second quarter of 1997, the mortgage banking
operations sold the remaining portion of its core mortgage servicing portfolio.
The sale of the core mortgage servicing portfolio and the ongoing sale of
servicing rights on a flow basis are the result of the concentration of the
mortgage banking operations on the primary business of providing mortgage
finance and related services to NVR's homebuyers. The total servicing portfolio
at September 30, 1997 was $180,327 compared with $583,964 at September 30, 1996.

        During the first nine months of 1997, homebuilding operations generated
revenues of $837,298 compared to revenues of $796,425 in the first nine months
of 1996. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 2.6% increase in the
number of homes settled from 4,335 in 1996 to 4,448 in 1997, and to a 2.4%
increase in the average settlement price from $182.8 in 1996 to $187.1 in 1997.
New orders 

                                       10

 
increased by 13.8% to 4,852 during the first nine months of 1997 compared with
4,262 during the first nine months of 1996. The increase in new orders is
attributable to higher sales in the Company's core Baltimore and Washington
markets due to an improved interest rate environment in the current period as
compared to the prior nine month period, as well as to sales associated with the
Company's expansion markets.

        Gross profit margins increased to 13.7% in the first nine months of 1997
compared to 13.4% in the first nine months of 1996. The increase in gross profit
margins from the prior year was primarily attributable to more favorable market
conditions in certain of the Company's markets, fewer additional weather-related
costs incurred in the construction of homes as a result of mild winter weather
conditions in NVR's principal markets in the first quarter of 1997 as compared
to the first quarter of 1996 and continued emphasis on controlling construction
costs.

        SG&A expenses for the nine month period ending September 30, 1997
increased both in dollars as well as a percentage of revenues compared to the
prior year 1996 period. A portion of the increase was due to a non-recurring
$1,600 incentive payment earned by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to
the terms of the Company's Plan of Reorganization that became effective on
September 30, 1993. Additionally, the increase is also attributable to a net
period to period increase in costs associated with certain management incentive
plans, increased costs that correspond to the aforementioned increase in
revenues, and costs incurred to grow the Company's expansion markets to full
operational levels.

        The Company's executive officers and certain other key management
personnel participate in the 1994 Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a
variable stock award plan adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the
Company's 1993 Plan of Reorganization. Approximately one-third of the 1,089,200
total shares granted under the Plan are eligible to vest on December 31, 1997 if
certain full year earnings targets are met or exceeded. Because the Plan
qualifies as a variable plan pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, the current year expense, if earned, will be based on
the closing price of NVR common stock as quoted on the American Stock Exchange
on December 31, 1997. There are approximately 200,000 more shares eligible for
vesting in the current year under the Plan than were available under a similar
plan expensed in 1996. Because of the increased number of shares available for
vesting under the Plan, and based upon the significant appreciation in the
market price of NVR's common stock during the third quarter of 1997, the
additional non-cash expense, if fully earned, associated with this Plan in the
fourth quarter of 1997 could be significantly greater than the amounts expensed
under the similar plan in the fourth quarter of 1996. As of September 30, 1997
the Company has accrued approximately $3,000 associated with the Plan.

Financial Services Segment

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

        The financial services segment generated operating income of $3,111 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to operating income of $2,136
during the same period in 1996. Loan closings were $1,043,068 and $949,918
during the respective nine month periods in 1997 and 1996, representing an
increase of 10%.

        Mortgage banking fees had a net decrease of $816, representing a 4%
decrease when comparing the respective nine month periods of 1997 and 1996. This
decrease can be primarily attributed to the lower servicing fee income resulting
from the decrease in the servicing portfolio, partially offset by the higher
gain on sale of servicing rights and the lower gain on sale of loans resulting
from continued price competition in the mortgage banking market. A summary of
mortgage banking fees is noted below:

 
 

        Mortgage Banking Fees:                        1997            1996

                                                   ===========     ===========
 

        Effective during the second quarter of 1997, the mortgage banking
operations sold the remaining portion of its core mortgage servicing portfolio.
The sale of the core mortgage servicing portfolio and the ongoing sale of
servicing rights on a flow basis are the result of the concentration of the
mortgage banking operations on the primary business of providing mortgage
finance and related services to NVR's homebuyers.


Pending Adoption of New Accounting Principles

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings
per Share. SFAS No. 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share
("Opinion No. 15"), and requires the calculation and dual presentation of Basic
and Diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the measures of Primary and
Fully-diluted EPS as reported under Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997;
earlier application is not permitted. Accordingly, EPS for the periods presented
on the accompanying statements of income are calculated under the guidance of
Opinion No. 15.

 
 

           Under SFAS No. 128, EPS data would have been as follows:

                                     Three Months Ended Sept.  30,      Nine Months Ended Sept.  30,
                                    ----------------------------------------------------------------
                                       1997               1996           1997             1996
                                    -----------       ------------   -------------   --------------
                                                                          
       Basic EPS                      $    0.77       $       0.61     $      1.98     $       1.41
       Diluted EPS                    $    0.68       $       0.58     $      1.80     $       1.36
 

        In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related information. Both statements are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards 

                                       12

 
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. Based on the nature of the
Company's operations, Management does not expect that, upon adoption of SFAS No.
130, future reported comprehensive income will differ materially from future
reported net income. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual and interim
financial statements. Adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no impact on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        NVR's homebuilding segment generally provides for its working capital
cash requirements using cash generated from operations and a short-term credit
facility. The homebuilding segment has available a $60,000 Working Capital
Revolving Credit facility (the "facility") to fund its working capital needs,
under which there were no amounts outstanding at September 30, 1997.

        NVR's financial services segment provides for its mortgage origination
and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as
various short-term credit facilities. NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVR Finance")
has available a $105,000 mortgage warehouse facility to fund its mortgage
origination activities, under which $80,262 was outstanding at September 30,
1997.

        During March 1997, NVR Finance entered into an annually renewable,
uncommitted gestation mortgage-backed security repurchase agreement (the "Repo
Facility"). The maximum amount available under the Repo Facility is $45,000,
bringing NVR's total available borrowings under all such similar agreements to
$145,000. Amounts outstanding under the Repo Facility accrue interest at various
rates tied to the federal funds rate, depending on the type of collateral, and
are collateralized by gestation mortgage-backed securities. The covenants under
the Repo Facility are consistent with NVR Finance's mortgage warehouse credit
facility. There was $10,074 outstanding under all existing repurchase agreements
at September 30, 1997.

        The Company believes that internally generated cash and borrowings
available under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy near term cash
requirements for working capital in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking
operations.


Other Elements Impacting Liquidity

        Subsequent to September 30, 1997, NVR Fox Ridge, Inc. ("Fox Ridge"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of NVR Homes, Inc., itself an NVR wholly owned
subsidiary, purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Fox Ridge Homes, Inc. ("FRH"), a leading builder in Nashville,
Tennessee. In addition to Fox Ridge assuming approximately $11,000 of FRH's
construction debt plus certain other liabilities, Fox Ridge paid to FRH $14,250
in cash at settlement on October 31, 1997, and issued a note payable for the
remaining $4,750 purchase price. The note carries terms for interest at a rate
tied to NVR's revolving credit facility, and will be paid in three annual
installments on October 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, including accrued interest.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased
approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase
price of $35,475 . The Company may, from time to time, repurchase additional
shares of its common stock, pursuant to repurchase authorizations by the Board
of Directors and subject to the restrictions contained within the Company's debt
agreements.
