1.  Basis of presentation
    ---------------------

In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown.

2.  Capitalization of interest
    --------------------------

The following is a summary of interest capitalized and expensed related to real

3.  Reclassifications
    -----------------

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company changed its presentation of selling costs
in its consolidated statements of operations whereby they are now combined with
general and administrative expenses.  This presentation is consistent with
industry practice.  Previously, the Company included these costs as a component
of cost of sales.  The Company reclassified the prior period amounts to conform
with the 1997 presentation.

Additionally, certain other reclassifications have been made to the 1996
financial information to conform with current period presentation.

 
4.  Earnings per share
    ------------------

Earnings per share for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 were calculated based on the weighted average number of common and
equivalent shares outstanding during the periods.  Equivalent shares were
determined by using the treasury stock method, which assumes that all dilutive
securities were exercised and that the proceeds received were applied to
repurchase outstanding shares at the average market prices during the period.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," which is required to be adopted by the Company no
later than December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to
change the method used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods presented.  Under the new requirements primary earnings per share will
be replaced with basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share
will be replaced with diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share
excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock
options.  Had earnings per share been calculated under the provisions of the new
standard, both basic and diluted earnings per share would be the same as net
income per share as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

5.  Stock Incentive Plan
    --------------------

On May 13, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan").  Under the 1997 Plan, the maximum number of
shares of Company common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock option 
grants, or other stock based incentive compensation grants, is two million
shares.

6.  Discontinued Operations
    -----------------------

In May 1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan (the "Plan") of
disposition for the Company's savings and loan subsidiary ("Savings"). Pursuant
to the Plan and in June 1997, the Company sold substantially all of Savings'
mortgage loan portfolio and entered into a definitive agreement to sell the
remainder of Savings' business, including Savings' charter. The proceeds from
the sale of the mortgages were used to pay off substantially all of the
outstanding balances of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the remaining
amount temporarily invested until the savings deposits are sold along with
Savings' remaining assets. The definitive sale agreement is subject to, among
other things, the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Savings has been
accounted for as a discontinued operation and, accordingly, the results of its
operations have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations. Management currently estimates that both the disposition of Savings
under the Plan and the operating results of Savings for the period through the
disposition will not result in a significant gain or loss to the Company.



                                      -2-


As a consequence of the decision to dispose of Savings, the assets and
liabilities of this discontinued operation have been classified in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets as "Net assets of
discontinued operations." Discontinued operations have not been segregated in
the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Interest income from these discontinued operations was $8,631,000 and
$10,380,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and $4,117,000 and $5,067,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996 are as follows:



                                                               At June 30,                     At December 31,

During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company delivered 490 new homes
(including 13 homes delivered by the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures) at
an average selling price of $296,398 compared to 438 new homes (including 41
homes delivered by the  Company's unconsolidated joint venture) at an average
selling price of $254,571 for the 1996 second quarter.


Homebuilding revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased by
approximately 38.2 percent from the year earlier period, while cost of sales
attributed to residential housing increased by approximately 34.1 percent over
the same period.  The jump in homebuilding revenues of approximately $38.9
million over the 1996 second quarter resulted primarily from an increase of
$20.4 million due to a 20 percent increase in unit deliveries, an increase of
$17.6 million due to a 14.5 percent rise in the average selling price of homes
delivered, with the balance attributable to an increase in improved lot sales.
The Company's Northern California, San Diego and Ventura County divisions
experienced strong growth in unit deliveries, increasing a combined 24 percent
over the prior year second quarter, while deliveries from the Company's Orange
County division remained consistent with the strong level of deliveries
generated in the 1996 second quarter.  The increase in the average selling price
resulted from a greater distribution of homes delivered in the $400,000 to
$800,000 price range in California.  The Company anticipates its average selling
price in the next few quarters to remain near the $300,000 level.


Residential housing cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased
by approximately $30.4 million over the 1996 second quarter primarily as a
result of an increase of $17.9 million due to a greater number of homes
delivered, an increase of $11.8 million attributable to a higher average cost of
new homes delivered and an increase of approximately $700,000 related to
improved lot cost of sales.

The homebuilding gross margin percentage increased from 12.4 percent in the
second quarter of 1996 to 15.0 percent in the second quarter of 1997.  The
improved margin reflects the strong housing market in certain of the Company's 
California markets and the Company's inventory of well located projects in
those locations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the homebuilding and corporate
segment decreased as a percentage of revenues from 9.7 percent in the second
quarter of 1996 to 9.2 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  This
decrease is attributable to the fixed level of certain general and
administrative expenses, as well as a reduction in selling costs as a percent of
revenues due to the improving housing market in California.

Income from the unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from $1.3 million in the
second quarter of 1996 to $987,000 in the second quarter of 1997 primarily as a
result of the reduction in joint venture deliveries between periods.

                                      -5-

                                       

 
Interest incurred for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $4.1 million of which
$2.7 million was capitalized to real estate inventories compared to $4.1 million
incurred for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 of which $2.5 million was
capitalized.

Although Company-wide orders for the quarter were down approximately 8 percent
from the year earlier period, the Company ended the quarter with a backlog of
714 homes, an 18 percent increase over the previous year period and the highest
second quarter level since 1989. More significantly, the dollar value of the
backlog increased by 36 percent over the year earlier level to $229.4 million.
Net new orders for the second quarter decreased slightly from the year earlier
period to 450 homes. This decline resulted primarily from higher than expected
orders in the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, which had
the effect of reducing the Company's inventory of homes available for sale in
the second quarter of 1997. The Company is planning on opening 10 to 12 new
projects in California through the end of the year.

Inventory Financing Sources

Sources of financing for the Company's real estate inventories at June 30, 1997

___________________________

(1)  Includes intersegment income of  approximately $165,000 and $133,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $88,000 and
$68,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  These
intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation with no effect on
consolidated earnings.

Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 decreased 21.8 percent to $4.2 million
from $5.4 million in the prior year second quarter.  The decrease in sales can
be attributed, in part, to the introduction of a new product line at the end of
the second quarter which had the effect of depressing sales of existing products
during the quarter in anticipation of the new line.

The Company's long-term strategy is to focus on its core homebuilding business. 
As a result, the Company is evaluating its options with respect to Panel
Concepts, Inc.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

In June 1997, the Company issued $100 million of 8 1/2 percent Senior Notes
due in 2007. The notes were issued at a discount to yield approximately 8.6
percent. The Senior Notes are subject to certain restrictive financial
covenants, which among other things, impose certain limitations on the ability
of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) create liens, (iii)
pay dividends, and (iv) sell assets. These notes are callable at the Company's
option commencing June 15, 2002 at a premium of 104.25% of par value, with the
call price reducing ratably to par on June 15, 2005. Net proceeds to the Company
after offering expenses were approximately $96.9 million. The Company used the
net proceeds to repay the indebtedness outstanding under the Company's unsecured
revolving credit facility.

Unsecured notes payable (excluding the 8 1/2 percent Senior Notes due 2007 and
the 10 1/2 percent Senior Notes due 2000) totaled $2.0 million at June 30, 1997
versus $57.3 million at December 31, 1996. Total commitments available under the
Company's revolving credit facility aggregated $200 million at June 30, 1997, of
which a total of approximately $195 million was unused and available for
additional borrowings under the terms and conditions of the agreement. In August
1997, the Company and its bank group amended the unsecured revolving credit
facility to, among other things, increase the commitment to $275 million and
increase the term of the facility from three years to four years.

On March 1, 1997, the Company made its first of three annual $20 million sinking
fund payments on the 10 1/2 percent Senior Notes due in 2000.

Pursuant to the previously announced common stock repurchase program, the
Company repurchased 25,000 shares of its common stock during the second quarter
for approximately $177,250.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 1,285,750 shares of its common stock for approximately $8.3
million, leaving a balance of approximately $11.7 million available to be
repurchased under the repurchase program.

On July 29, 1997, the Board of Directors increased the Company's quarterly
dividend from $.03 to $.04 per share of common stock. The cash dividend will be
payable on August 28, 1997 to shareholders of record on August 14, 1997.

Cash requirements for the homebuilding, manufacturing and corporate segments
were provided from internally generated funds and outside borrowings,
principally the bank revolving credit facility and the net proceeds from the
issuance of the 8 1/2 percent Senior Notes. Management believes that these
sources of cash, as well as capital available through the public debt and equity
markets, are sufficient to finance its current and future working capital
requirements and other needs.

                 STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE


The foregoing "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not limited to,
the following:  statements regarding the price range of future homes constructed
by the Company; statements regarding a strong housing market in certain of the
Company's California markets; statements regarding the Company's inventory of
well located projects in certain California markets; statements regarding the
homebuilding segment's backlog of homes; statements regarding the number of new
projects anticipated to be opened in California through the end of the year; and
statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company's cash provided by
internally generated funds and outside borrowings. The Company cautions that
these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, including, without limitation, the following: change in the demand
for new homes attributable to the cyclical and competitive nature of the
homebuilding business; changes in general economic conditions; uncertainty in or
changes in the continued availability of suitable undeveloped land at reasonable
prices; adverse local market conditions; existing and changing governmental
regulations, including regulations concerning environmental matters and the
permitting process for home construction; increases in prevailing interest
rates; the level of real estate taxes and energy costs; the cost of materials
and labor; the availability of construction financing and home mortgage
financing attractive to the purchasers of homes; the availability of financing 
to homebuilders; and inclement weather and other natural disasters. Results
actually achieved thus may differ materially from expected results included in
these and any other forward looking statements contained herein.
