BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Consequently, such financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly, for further information, the reader of this Form 10-Q should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1997. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed financial statements. (2) Inventory A summary of inventory is as follows (dollars in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> December 31, September 30, 1997 1997 ------------ ------------- <S> <C> <C> Finished homes............... $ 81,300 $ 69,609 Development projects in progress................... 290,801 231,692 Unimproved land held for future development......... 19,419 34,792 Model homes.................. 32,425 25,852 -------- -------- $423,945 $361,945 -------- -------- -------- -------- </TABLE> Development projects in progress consist principally of land, land improvement costs and, if applicable, construction costs for houses that are in various stages of development but not ready for sale.

BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Interest The following table sets forth certain information regarding interest: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended December 31, ------------------- (in thousands) 1997 1996 -------- -------- <S> <C> <C> During the period: Interest incurred.......... $4,615 $3,181 ------ ------ ------ ------ Previously capitalized interest amortized to costs and expenses....... $3,047 $2,740 ------ ------ ------ ------ At the end of the period: Capitalized interest in ending Inventory...... $8,424 $5,994 ------ ------ ------ ------ </TABLE> (4) Earnings Per Share During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." As a result, all previously reported earnings per share data has been restated to conform with SFAS No. 128. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Quarter Ended December 31, ----------------- 1997 1996 ------ ------ <S> <C> <C> Earnings Net income.......................... $1,819 $2,677 Less: Dividends on preferred shares. 1,000 1,000 ------ ------ Net income applicable to common shareholders.................... $ 819 $1,677 ------ ------ ------ ------ Basic: Net income applicable to common shareholders.............. $ 819 $1,677 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding....... 5,834 6,310 Basic earnings per share........... $ 0.14 $ 0.27 Diluted: Net income applicable to common shareholders............. $ 819 $1,677 ------ ------ Weighted average number of common shares outstanding........ 5,834 6,310 Effect of dilutive securities- Restricted stock................. 162 140 Options to acquire common stock.. 45 9 ------ ------ Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding..... 6,041 6,459 Diluted earnings per share......... $ 0.14 $ 0.26 </TABLE> 7
BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 excludes the assumed conversion of 2.0 million shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock ($50.0 million aggregate liquidation preference) issued in August 1995 into 2.6 million shares of common stock at the conversion price of $19.05 since the effect of such conversion is antidilutive for these periods. Options to purchase 224,500 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. (5) Credit Agreement The Company maintains a revolving line of credit with a group of banks. The credit agreement provides for up to $200 million of unsecured borrowings. Borrowings under the credit agreement generally bear interest at a fluctuating rate based upon the corporate base rate of interest announced by the lead bank, the federal funds rate or LIBOR. All outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement will be due in February 2001. The Credit Agreement contains various operating and financial covenants. Each of the Company's significant subsidiaries is a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The credit agreement includes a financial covenant limiting the dollar value of Land (as defined)owned by the Company to the amount of its Tangible Net Worth (as defined). At December 31, 1997 the value of Land owned by the Company exceeded this maximum by approximately $6 million. The Company has received a waiver from each of the participating banks in the credit facility relating to this covenant. The Company expects to be in compliance with this covenant by March 31, 1998, through its use of land in the ordinary course of business. (6) Acquisitions On November 28, 1997 the Company acquired the assets of the Orlando, Florida homebuilding operations of Calton Homes of Florida, Inc. for approximately $16.8 million. The allocation of the purchase price, which is subject to final adjustment, resulted in approximately $3.9 million of goodwill. (7) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"("SFAS 130"), and Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"("SFAS 131"). Both SFAS 130 and SFAS 131 become effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 1997 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects these statements will have on its financial reporting and disclosures. The statements will have no effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, capital resources or liquidity. 8

BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW: Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (the "Company" and "Beazer") designs, builds and sells single family homes in the Southeast, Southwest and Central regions of the United States. The Company's Southeast Region includes Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida, its Southwest Region includes Arizona, California and Nevada and its Central Region includes Texas. The Company intends, subject to market conditions, to expand in its current markets and to consider entering new markets through expansion from existing markets ("satellite expansion") or through acquisitions of established regional homebuilders. On November 28, 1997 the Company acquired the assets of the Orlando operations of Calton Homes Florida, Inc. ("Calton") for approximately $16.8 million. The Company's homes are designed to appeal primarily to entry-level and first move-up home buyers, and are generally offered for sale in advance of their construction. The majority of homes are sold pursuant to standard sales contracts entered into prior to commencement of construction. Once a contract has been signed, the Company classifies the transaction as a "new order." Such sales contracts are usually subject to certain contingencies such as the buyer's ability to qualify for financing. Homes covered by such sales contracts are considered by the Company as its "backlog." The Company does not recognize revenue on homes in backlog until the sales are closed and the risk of ownership has been transferred to the buyer. The Company began offering mortgage origination services for its local homebuilders through branch offices of Beazer Mortgage Corp. ("Beazer Mortgage") during 1996. Beazer Mortgage originates mortgages principally for homebuyers of Beazer Homes. Beazer Mortgage does not hold or service the mortgages. Beazer Mortgage net operating results are included in costs of home construction of the homebuilding operations of the Company. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company also entered into a joint venture agreement with Corporacion GEO, the largest builder of affordable homes in Mexico, to build homes in the United States. The joint venture will focus exclusively on the development, construction and sale of affordable housing throughout the U.S., priced between $35,000 and $45,000. The joint venture is owned 60% by Corporacion GEO and 40% by Beazer. Development is scheduled to begin on the venture during fiscal 1998, however the Company does not anticipate a significant contribution to operating results during fiscal 1998. NEW ORDERS AND BACKLOG: The increase in new orders for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 is principally the result of an increase in the number of active subdivisions. Each of the Company's operating regions contributed to an increase in the number of active subdivisions, and both the Southeast and Southwest region experienced an increase in new orders. The Company's Central region did not recognize an increase in new orders for the comparable periods as a result of delays in the opening of several subdivisions in that region. The Company believes that the increased active subdivision levels will contribute to positive new order growth during the remainder of fiscal 1998. 10
BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The number of homes in backlog at December 31, 1997 decreased compared to December 31, 1996 principally because of a lower level of backlog entering the period. The dollar value of backlog at December 31, 1997, however, is greater than that at December 31, 1996 reflecting a change in mix of the Company's markets as well as increases in the average sales price of homes in backlog in all regions. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The following table shows certain items in the Company's statements of income expressed as a percentage of total revenue. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended December 31, ------------------ 1997 1996 -------- ------- <S> <C> <C> Total revenue................. 100.0% 100.0% Costs of home construction and land sales.............. 83.8 84.0 Interest...................... 2.0 1.7 Selling, general and administrative........... 12.4 11.7 Operating income.............. 1.8 2.6 </TABLE> REVENUES: The decrease in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 is principally the result of reduced closings in the Company's Southwest region. Lower backlog levels entering the quarter ended December 31, 1997 was the primary reason for the decrease in the Southwest. The Company's Southeast and Central regions, however, experienced increases in both revenues and closings for the comparable periods. The increase in the Southeast region is attributable to a substantially higher number of closings in South Carolina and Florida resulting from higher opening backlog figures for the respective periods and the contribution of the acquired Calton operations (16 closings and $2.5 million in revenues). The increase in the Company's Central region is the result of higher opening backlog levels in this region. COST OF HOME CONSTRUCTION AND LAND SALES: The cost of home construction and land sales as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease is largely attributable to expansion of the Company's profitability initiatives, specifically design centers and mortgage origination operations. The Company is now operating design centers in seven states and mortgage origination operations in eight states. This compares to six and three states with design centers and mortgage origination operations, respectively, at December 31, 1996. Additionally, substantially improved gross margins in the Company's California operations contributed to the overall decrease in the cost of home construction and land sales as a percentage of revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1997. 11
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed to higher overhead and marketing costs associated with the increase in active subdivision levels in most of the Company's markets. AMORTIZATION OF PREVIOUSLY CAPITALIZED INTEREST: Amortization of previously capitalized interest expense as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1997 is greater than the comparable period in 1996 as a result of increased borrowing levels associated with the Company's increased investment in inventory during the quarter. INCOME TAXES: The decrease in the Company's effective income tax rate from 39.0% for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 compared to 38.5% for the same period at December 31, 1997 is principally the result of a reduction in the overall state effective income tax rate. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY: At December 31, 1997 the Company had $120 million of outstanding borrowings under its $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company fulfills its short-term cash requirements with cash generated from its operations and unused funds available from its unsecured revolving credit facility. Available borrowings under this credit agreement are limited to certain percentages of homes under contract, unsold homes, substantially improved lots and accounts receivable. At December 31, 1997 the Company had available additional borrowings of $25 million under the credit agreement. During the quarter ended December 31, 1997 the company utilized borrowings under its credit agreement of approximately $16.8 million for the acquisition of the Orlando, Florida operations of Calton Homes of Florida, Inc. The credit agreement includes a financial covenant limiting the dollar value of Land (as defined)owned by the Company to the amount of its Tangible Net Worth (as defined). At December 31, 1997 the value of Land owned by the Company exceeded this maximum by approximately $6 million. The Company has received a waiver from each of the participating banks in the credit facility relating to this covenant through March 31, 1998. The Company expects to be in compliance with this covenant by March 31, 1998, through its use of land in the ordinary course of business. All significant subsidiaries of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. are guarantors of the Senior Notes and are jointly and severally liable for the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning each of the significant subsidiaries are not included, as the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the subsidiaries equal such amounts for the Company on a consolidated basis and separate subsidiary financial statements are not considered material to investors. The total assets, revenues and operating profit of the non-guarantor subsidiaries are in the aggregate immaterial to the Company on a consolidated basis. Neither the Credit Agreement nor the Senior Notes restrict distributions to Beazer Homes USA, Inc. by its subsidiaries. The Company has utilized, and will continue to utilize, land options as a method of controlling and subsequently acquiring land. At December 12
31, 1997 the Company had 9,975 lots under option. At December 31, 1997, the Company had commitments with respect to option contracts with specific performance obligations of approximately $46.7 million. The Company expects to exercise all of its option contracts with specific performance obligations and, subject to market conditions, substantially all of its options contracts without specific performance obligations. Management believes that the Company's current borrowing capacity at December 31, 1997, and anticipated cash flows from the operations is sufficient to meet liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that amounts available in the future from the Company's sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company's future capital needs. The amount and types of indebtedness that the Company may incur may be limited by the terms of the Indenture governing its Senior Notes and its Credit Agreement. The Company continually evaluates expansion opportunities through acquisition of established regional homebuilders and such opportunities may require the Company to seek additional capital in the form of equity or debt financing from a variety of potential sources, including additional bank financing and/or securities offerings. 13
