See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 5 BEAZER HOMES USA, INC. NOTES TO 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, and 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 for the year ended September 30, 1995 incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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): MARCH 31, SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 ---- ---- (UNAUDITED) Finished homes $ 54,430 $ 52,464 Development projects in progress 219,682 196,500 Unimproved land held for future development 25,486 21,315 Model homes 17,086 14,989 -------- -------- $322,019 $285,268 -------- -------- -------- -------- Development projects in progress consist principally of land, land improvement costs and, if applicable, construction costs for houses which are in various stages of development but not ready for sale. Certain of the finished homes in inventory are reserved by a deposit or sales contract. (3) INTEREST The following table sets forth certain information regarding interest (dollars in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, MARCH 31, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- During the period: Interest incurred $3,605 $3,670 $6,749 $6,503 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Previously capitalized interest amortized to costs and expenses $3,646 $2,630 $6,777 $4,649 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ At the end of the period: Capitalized interest in ending inventory $6,483 $6,896 $6,483 $6,896 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
6 (4) EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of primary earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus (in periods in which they have a dilutive effect) the effect of common stock equivalents, primarily from stock options. Common share equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted earnings per share, which further assumes the 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, is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The effect of such assumed conversion is antidilutive for the six months ended March 31,1996, and therefore is not presented. (5) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances based on future expected cash flows indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. SFAS 121 is required for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Upon adoption, the Company does not believe that SFAS 121 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans, such as stock purchase plans and stock option plans. The Company is not required to adopt the principal provisions of SFAS 123 until its fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. The Company has not yet decided how it will implement this standard. 7 Item 2.

OVERVIEW: Beazer Homes designs, builds and sells single family homes in the Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States, as well as in Texas. The Company's Southeast region includes Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida, and its Southwest region includes Arizona, California and Nevada. The Company's homes are designed to appeal primarily to entry-level and first time move-up home buyers. 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. The Company's homes 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. NEW ORDERS AND BACKLOG: The Company believes the strong growth in new orders and backlog in the three and six months ended March 31,1996 compared to the same periods in 1995 is the result of a continued upturn in the general economic environment, reduced interest rates, and the Company's timing of opening new subdivisions. As interest rates declined and the homebuilding market recovered during 1995, the Company expanded its number of active subdivisions. The number of active subdivisions increased 20% to 171 projects at March 31, 1996 compared to 142 projects March 31, 1995, with 8 new projects being added during the three months ended March 31, 1996. All of the Company's markets experienced increases in both orders and backlog for the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period ended March 31, 1995 with the exception of the California Market where backlog was down 12%. The Southeast Region had a 35% increase in new orders, and the Southwest Region had a 78% increase for the comparative six month period with the Company's Raleigh, Phoenix, and Las Vegas markets each reporting order increases in excess of 100%. The Southeast and Southwest Regions reported 17% and 59% increases, respectively, in new orders for the three month period ending March 31, 1996 compared to the comparable period in 1995. In addition, 11% and 13% percent of the Company's growth in both new orders and backlog, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 1996 can be attributed to the Company's expansion into the Texas markets via the acquisition of Bramalea Homes Texas in April 1995. Recent de novo satellite expansions into Knoxville, Reno, and Myrtle Beach have not contributed significantly to the reported figures to date. The aggregate sales value of homes in backlog reflects principally the trend in new orders and backlog units, and as such, increased significantly for the comparable period. The average sales price of homes in backlog has decreased slightly reflecting the strong volume of orders in the Southwest Region's first-time buyer market, particularly in Phoenix. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The following table shows certain items in the Company's statements of income expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total revenue 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Costs and expenses Costs of home construction and land sales 84.7 85.6 84.5 84.7 Interest 1.9 2.1 1.9 2.1 Selling, general and administrative 10.3 10.3 10.5 10.6 ------------------------------------- Operating income 3.1% 2.0% 3.1% 2.6% ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- REVENUES: The Company experienced significant revenue growth in all regions for both the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The level of revenue growth is consistent with the increase in the number of homes closed for the comparable period. Management believes that a favorable homebuilding environment combined with timely opening of new subdivisions contributed to the increase in the number of homes closed and total revenues. The Company experienced a slight increase in the Southeast Region's average price per home closed for the three and six month period ended March 31, 1996 in comparison to the same period in 1995. This increase can be attributed to product mix and the favorable economic conditions, which management believes allow home buyers to purchase additional options in their homes. The average price per home closed has decreased for each comparable period in the Southwest region which is attributable to continued efforts to expand the Company's presence in the first-time buyer market, especially in Arizona. The fluctuations in total revenues and average sales price per home closed in the Company's Other Markets for the three and six month period is the result of the addition of the Company's recently acquired Texas operations and the close-out of the New Jersey operations. The Texas operations acquired in April of 1995 contributed 46 and 103 closings and $7.6 and $16.3 million in revenues for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 respectively. COST OF HOME CONSTRUCTION AND LAND SALES: Cost of home construction and land sales as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995. The Company believes that lower interest rates and a lower percentage of closings relating to homes previously listed in unsold finished inventory contributed to these decreases. 10 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year period, and remained unchanged as a percentage of revenues for the comparative three month periods ending march 31, 1996 and 1995. Selling expenses increased slightly to 6.4% and 6.3% for the six and three month periods ending March 31, 1996, respectively. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the current quarter were consistent with the same quarter in the prior year at 4.1% and down for the six month period ending March 31, 1996 to 4.1% compared to 4.3% for the same period in 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense as a percentage of revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 is less than the comparable period in 1995. The decrease is the result of lower interest rates experienced in the current year being partially offset by increased inventory turnover. INCOME TAXES: The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for each of the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY: At March 31, 1996, the Company had $16 million of borrowings outstanding under its $80 million unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Credit Agreement"), and had available additional borrowings of $64 million. Available borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to certain percentages of homes under contract, unsold homes, substantially improved lots and accounts receivable as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is used primarily to fund seasonal working capital needs. The Company's debt to total capitalization ratio at March 31, 1996 was 45.7%. The Company has utilized, and will continue to utilize, land options as a method of controlling and subsequently acquiring land. At March 31, 1996, the Company had 7,510 lots under option. At March 31, 1996, the Company had commitments with respect to option contracts with specific performance obligations of approximately $40.2 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. In August 1995, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its Series A Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 8% (aggregating $4 million annually). All 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 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. Neither the Credit Agreement nor the Senior Notes restrict distributions to Beazer Homes USA, Inc. by its subsidiaries. Management believes that the Company's current borrowing capacity, cash on hand at March 31, 1996, and anticipated cash flows from the operations is sufficient to meet liquidity needs for the foreseeable 11 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 the Senior Notes and the 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. 12 PART II.
