Sanford Homes of Colorado LLLP:

    We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of April Corporation and Sanford Homes of Colorado LLLP as of December 31, 2000 and the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of April Corporation and Sanford Homes of Colorado LLLP as of December 31, 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

APRIL CORPORATION AND
SANFORD HOMES OF COLORADO LLLP

Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2000
(Information as of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is Unaudited)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

(a) Organization

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Sanford Homes of Colorado, LLLP (Sanford) and April Corporation (April) (Sanford and April are referred to collectively as the Companies). Sanford and April are different legal entities; however, they are presented on a combined basis due to common control relationships and the transaction between the Companies and Beazer Homes Holdings Corp. (note 9).

April constructed residential homes in the Denver metropolitan area prior to January 1, 1997. April's current business activities consist of investing in and lending to affiliates and others who acquire and develop real estate and construct residential homes in the Denver metropolitan area.

Sanford's primary business is to acquire, develop and sell real estate, and to construct and sell residential homes. Effective January 1, 2000, Colorado North Company LLC (CNC), South Platte Company LLC (SPC) and Colorado Builders Services LLC (CBS) (collectively referred to as the LLCs) merged to form Sanford Homes of Colorado LLLP. Sanford includes Communities by Sanford, Inc., as the General Partner, and April Corporation and members of the merged LLCs as the Limited Partners.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and include the accounts of Sanford and the consolidated accounts of April Corporation and subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation and combination.

(c) Profit and Loss Allocations

The allocation of profits and losses, and distributions are subject to the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement as amended (the Agreement). The terms of the Agreement require profits to first be allocated to Class A unit holders in an amount equal to 8% of invested capital for the actual number of days in the period (the priority returns). Second, to April in an amount equal to April's previously absorbed losses in any of the LLCs, with any remaining profits allocated on a pro rata basis to all partners based on their pro rata share of units as defined in the terms of the Agreement.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of deposit are considered short-term investments and were used as partial collateral for letters of credit during the year ended December 31, 2000. Such amount is stated at cost which approximates fair value.

6

---

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of the Companies' financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. Because the interest rates on the Companies' note payable obligations reflect market rates and terms, the fair values of these instruments approximate carrying amounts.

(c) Real Estate for Development and Sale

Real estate for development and sale includes homes under construction, finished lots, land under development and model homes and is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of real estate for development and sale includes direct and indirect development and construction costs, as well as financing, land and closing costs.

(d) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets which is three to five years, principally using the 150% and 200% declining-balance methods.

(e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(f) Equity Investments

Investments in two affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity method. In February 2001, April acquired a controlling interest in one of these investments and began to consolidate the balances and results of operations. The equity of other owners is reflected as minority interest.

(g) Land Held for Investment

Land held for investment is carried at cost and includes land that is not currently under development.

7

---

(h) Customer Deposits

Customer deposits include cash received from customers for construction of housing units. The customer deposit is applied against the sale price when construction is completed and the sale is closed.

(i) Revenue and Cost Recognition

Sanford constructs residential homes in the Denver metropolitan area and recognizes revenue from the sale of homes when construction is completed, the sale is closed and title has been transferred.

Cost of sales for homes and homes under construction include direct and indirect development and construction costs, as well as financing, land and closing costs. The Companies incurred interest and loan fees totaling $4,405,680 during the year ended December 31, 2000, of which $937,609 are capitalized in homes under construction at December 31, 2000. The Companies capitalize indirect construction costs such as superintendents' salaries, fringe benefits, general labor, construction offices, temporary buildings, and miscellaneous costs and allocate the costs between homes under construction and model homes. At December 31, 2000, indirect construction costs of $1,088,164 were capitalized in homes under construction and model homes.

(j) Income Taxes

April accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The combined financial statements do not include any provision for income taxes for Sanford as taxable income or loss is included in the respective tax returns of the individual partners.

(k) Comprehensive Income

The Companies have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is equal to net income and unrealized gain, net of income taxes, on available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2000.

(l) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of

8

---

revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This standard requires that a company recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 137 amends SFAS 133 and requires the standard to be adopted in 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001 did not have a material impact on the Companies' financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the purchase method and eliminates the option of using the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for all business combinations. The provisions in this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. The Companies' do not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companies' financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that all intangible assets acquired, other than those acquired in a business combination, be initially recognized and measured based on the asset's fair value. In addition, the intangible asset should be amortized based upon its useful life. If the intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite useful life, it shall not be amortized until its useful life can be determined. The Companies' do not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companies' financial position or results of operations.

(3) Prepaid Expenses and Deposits

At December 31, 2000, option payments made by the Companies for the acquisition of real estate, which are included in prepaid expenses and deposits in the accompanying balance sheets, totaled $686,150. Pursuant to the terms of the option contracts, the Companies may forfeit any option deposits made, if the options are not exercised prior to the expiration date.

EXHIBIT 99.2

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and for the year ended September 30, 2000 have been prepared to reflect Beazer Homes USA, Inc.'s (Beazer) purchase of the residential homebuilding operations of Sanford Homes of Colorado LLLP (SHOC) and April Corporation (April) on August 1, 2001, as if this acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2001 for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and on October 1, 1999 for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. The purchase price was approximately $72 million, of which $65 million was paid in cash and approximately $7 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses were assumed by Beazer. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been tentatively allocated to reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. Such allocation resulted principally in an increase to inventory to reflect the fair value of assets acquired and an increase to other assets to recognize the goodwill associated with the transaction. Pro forma adjustments have been made in the accompanying statements to reflect the impact of purchase accounting and other items that Beazer management believes reasonable under the circumstances.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results that would actually have been obtained had the acquisition been effected on October 1, 1999 or of the results which may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Beazer, which are incorporated by reference in Beazer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000, Beazer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and the historical combined financial statements of SHOC and April included herein.
