NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (“Beazer Homes” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Such financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. Certain items in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing in the Beazer Homes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 (the “2006 Annual Report”).

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A discussion of our significant accounting policies other than as discussed below is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Beazer Homes’ Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the 2006 Annual Report.

Stock-Based Compensation

In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after October 1, 2005, as well as to the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of October 1, 2005. We use the Black-Scholes model to value new stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”) and stock option grants under SFAS 123R and applied the “modified prospective method” for existing grants which requires us to value the grants made prior to our adoption of SFAS 123R under the fair value method and expense the unvested portion over the remaining vesting period. SFAS 123R also requires us to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS 123R requires us to reflect the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost as a financing cash inflow and an operating cash outflow. Nonvested stock granted to employees is valued based on the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. Performance based, nonvested stock granted to employees is valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method.

Compensation cost arising from nonvested stock granted to employees and from non-employee stock awards is recognized as an expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock is included in paid-in capital in accordance with SFAS 123R. As of March 31, 2007, there was $22.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.9 years. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007, our total stock-based compensation expense was approximately $200,000 ($62,000 net of tax) and $3.9 million ($2.7 million net of tax), respectively.

Stock compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 includes the reversal of approximately $2.8 million of previously recorded stock compensation expense as a result of unvested stock-based award forfeitures. The following table summarizes nonvested stock awards as of March 31, 2007, as well as activity for the three and six months then ended.

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2007					Six Months Ended March 31, 2007
	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Beginning of period		1,054,738		$	50.15		974,457		$	50.66
Granted		53,496			36.29		181,554			42.06
Vested		(4,500	)		44.35		(23,622	)		48.41
Forfeited		(183,580	)		52.80		(212,235	)		51.42
End of period		920,154		$	48.85		920,154		$	48.85

In addition, during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007, employees surrendered 1,261 and 3,224 shares, respectively, to the Company in payment of minimum tax obligations upon the vesting of nonvested stock under our stock incentive plans. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, we valued the stock at the market price on the date of surrender for an aggregate value of approximately $55,000 and $140,000, or approximately $43.51 and $43.33 per share, respectively.

The fair value of each option or SSAR grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected life of options and SSARs granted are generally computed using the mid-point between the vesting period and contractual life of the awards granted. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Beazer Homes’ stock and other factors. Expected discrete dividends of $0.10 per quarter are assumed in lieu of a continuously compounding dividend yield.

The following table summarizes stock options and SSARs outstanding as of March 31, 2007 as well as activity during the three and six months then ended:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	March 31, 2007					March 31, 2007
	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at beginning of period		1,817,309		$	48.71		2,135,572		$	43.82
Granted		273,888			43.07		273,888			43.07
Exercised		(17,394	)		32.96		(297,501	)		13.47
Forfeited		(196,004	)		64.47		(234,160	)		60.95
Outstanding at end of period		1,877,799		$	46.39		1,877,799		$	46.39
Exercisable at end of period		637,608		$	26.24		637,608		$	26.24

At March 31, 2007, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for all options and SSARs outstanding and currently exercisable was 5.05 years and 4.72 years, respectively. At March 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of both stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable was $2.7 million. (The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option.) The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $14,300 and $8.6 million.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually as of April 30 or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As a result of inventory impairments discussed in Note 3, we analyzed the estimated fair value of certain of our reporting units with goodwill as of March 31, 2007. Based on our analysis, we determined that goodwill for these reporting units was not impaired as of March 31, 2007. We will perform our annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units as of April 30, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective beginning in our fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact adopting FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

On November 29, 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, for Sales of Condominiums. EITF 06-8 states that the adequacy of the buyer’s continuing investment under SFAS 66 should be assessed in determining whether to recognize profit under the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units in a condominium project. This consensus requires that additional deposits be collected by developers of condominium projects that wish to recognize profit during the construction period under the percentage-of-completion method. EITF 06-8 is effective for fiscal years beginning in our fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact adopting EITF 06-8 will have on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

(3) Inventory

	March 31,		September 30,
(in thousands)	2007		2006
Homes under construction	$	1,186,280	$	1,368,056
Development projects in progress		1,647,947		1,623,819
Unimproved land held for future development		12,095		12,213
Model homes		62,963		44,803
Consolidated inventory not owned		462,296		471,441
	$	3,371,581	$	3,520,332

Homes under construction includes homes finished and ready for delivery and homes in various stages of construction. We had 717 ($168.3 million) and 1,197 ($257.9 million) completed homes that were not subject to a sales contract, not including model homes, at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Development projects in progress consist principally of land and land improvement costs. Certain of the fully developed lots in this category are reserved by a deposit or sales contract.

Consistent with our accounting policy described in our 2006 Annual Report, housing projects, development projects in progress and unimproved land held for future development (components of inventory) were reviewed this quarter for recoverability as a result of continuing difficult market conditions in the homebuilding industry. Most markets across the country continue to experience lower levels of demand, significant competition and discounting coupled with higher levels of inventory. In response to these market conditions, we discounted prices and/or offered other incentives to buyers in certain communities with an objective to reduce inventory and generate cash flow. Based on these events and our analysis we determined that the carrying amount of certain of our inventory assets exceeded its estimated fair value. We estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. As a result, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $60.8 million and $155.5 million, respectively, of non-cash pretax charges related to inventory impairments.

We acquire certain lots by means of option contracts. Option contracts generally require the payment of cash for the right to acquire lots during a specified period of time at a certain price. Under option contracts, both with and without specific performance provisions, purchase of the properties is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by us and the sellers. Our obligation with respect to options with specific performance provisions is included on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in other payables and accrued liabilities. Under option contracts without specific performance obligations, our liability is generally limited to forfeiture of the non-refundable deposits, letters of credit and other non-refundable pre-acquisition development costs incurred, which aggregated approximately $302.5 million at March 31, 2007. This amount includes letters of credit of approximately $42.4 million. Total remaining purchase price, net of cash deposits, committed under all options was $2.1 billion at March 31, 2007. $16.2 million of total remaining purchase price under such options contain specific performance clauses which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land seller meeting certain obligations. We incurred non-cash pretax charges related to the abandonment of lot option agreements and write-off of option deposits and other pre-acquisition costs of $19.1 million and $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and charges of $8.8 million and $11.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

Certain of our option contracts are with sellers who are deemed to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”s) under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R defines a VIE as an entity with insufficient equity investment to finance its planned activities without additional financial support or an entity in which the equity investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Pursuant to FIN 46R, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and must consolidate the VIE.

We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Our risk is generally limited to the option deposits that we pay, and creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, for those option contracts for which we are the primary beneficiary, we are required to consolidate the land under option at fair value. We believe that the exercise prices of our option contracts approximate their fair value. Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 reflect consolidated inventory not owned of $462.3 million and $471.4 million, respectively. We consolidated $143.8 million and $146.6 million of lot option agreements as consolidated inventory not owned pursuant to FIN 46R as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, we recorded $318.5 million and $324.8 million, respectively, of land under the caption consolidated inventory not owned related to lot option agreements for which our deposits and pre-acquisition development costs exceeded certain thresholds. Obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned totaled $335.6 million at March 31, 2007 and $330.7 million at September 30, 2006. The difference between the balances of consolidated inventory not owned and obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned represents cash deposits paid and other pre-acquisition costs incurred under the option agreements.

(4) Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We participate in a number of land development joint ventures in which Beazer Homes has less than a controlling interest. Our joint ventures are typically entered into with developers, other homebuilders and financial partners to develop finished lots for sale to the joint venture’s members and other third parties. We account for our interest in these joint ventures under the equity method. We recognize our share of profits from the sale of lots to other buyers. Our share of profits from lots purchased from the joint ventures are deferred and treated as a reduction of the cost of the land purchased from the joint venture. Such profits are subsequently recognized at the time the home closes and title passes to the homebuyer. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we wrote down our investment in two of our Virginia joint ventures reflecting impairments of inventory held within those ventures. The related impairment charge of $7.1 million is recorded in equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007.

Our joint ventures typically obtain secured acquisition and development financing. At March 31, 2007, our unconsolidated joint ventures have borrowings outstanding totaling $788.8 million. In some instances, Beazer Homes and our joint venture partners have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At March 31, 2007, we had repayment guarantees of $13.0 million and limited maintenance guarantees of $6.3 million related to certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures’ debt. The repayment guarantee requires the repayment of a portion of the debt of the unconsolidated joint venture in the event the joint venture defaults on its obligations under the borrowings. The limited maintenance guarantees only apply if an unconsolidated joint venture defaults on its loan arrangements and the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) is less than a specified percentage of the loan balance. We have not recorded a liability for the non-contingent aspect of these guarantees as such amounts are not material. In assessing the need to record a liability for the contingent aspect of these guarantees, we consider our historical experience in being required to perform under the guarantees, the fair value of the collateral underlying these guarantees and the financial condition of the applicable unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we monitor the fair value of the collateral of these unconsolidated joint ventures to ensure that the related borrowings do not exceed the specified percentage of the value of the property securing the borrowings. To date, we have not incurred any obligations related to repayment or limited maintenance guarantees. Based on these considerations, we have determined that it is remote that we will have to perform under the contingent aspects of these guarantees and, as a result, have not recorded a liability for the contingent aspects of these guarantees. To the extent the recording of a liability related to such guarantees would be required; the recognition of such liability would result in an increase to the carrying value of our investment in the associated joint venture.

Emerging Task Force Issue No. 04-8: The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EITF 04-8”) requires that shares issuable upon conversion of contingently convertible debt instruments (“Co-Cos”) be included in diluted earnings per share computations using the “if-converted method” regardless of whether the issuer’s stock price exceeds the contingent conversion price. EITF 04-8 applies to our 4 ⅝% Convertible Senior Notes issued in June 2004. In computing diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as a result of their anti-dilutive effect. Options to purchase 230,653 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2006 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

In June 2006, the Shareholder Rights Plan adopted in June 1996 by our Board of Directors expired. No rights issued under this plan were redeemed or exercised prior to expiration.

*	Collectively, the “Senior Notes”

Mortgage Warehouse Line - On January 11, 2006, Beazer Mortgage Corporation (“Beazer Mortgage”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a 364-day credit agreement with a number of banks to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans (the “Warehouse Line”). Beazer Mortgage amended (the “Second Amendment”) the Warehouse Line to extend the maturity date to February 6, 2008 and to modify the maximum available borrowing capacity to $100 million (expandable to $200 million), subject to compliance with the mortgage loan eligibility requirements as provided in the Second Amendment. The Warehouse Line is secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale and related property and is not guaranteed by Beazer Homes or any of its subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Senior Notes or the Revolving Credit Facility. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, Beazer Mortgage finances a portion of its mortgage lending activities with borrowings under the Warehouse Line. Borrowings under the Warehouse Line were $9.4 million and bore interest at 6.3% per annum as of March 31, 2007. Beazer Mortgage had a pipeline of loans in process of approximately $675 million as of March 31, 2007 which may be financed either through the Warehouse Line or with third party investors. The Warehouse Line contains various operating and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2007.

Revolving Credit Facility - In August 2005, we entered into a new four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of banks which was expanded in June 2006 to $1 billion and which matures in August 2009. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $50 million swing line commitment. We have the option to elect two types of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility which incur interest as applicable based on either the Alternative Base Rate or the Applicable Eurodollar Margin (both defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility contains various operating and financial covenants. We were in compliance with such covenants at March 31, 2007. Substantially all of our significant subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 11).

We fulfill our short-term cash requirements with cash generated from our operations and funds available from our Revolving Credit Facility. Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are limited to certain percentages of homes under contract, unsold homes, substantially improved lots, lots under development, raw land and accounts receivable. At March 31, 2007, we had available borrowings of $232.7 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2007 or September 30, 2006.

Senior Notes - The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior indebtedness. Substantially all of our significant subsidiaries are full and unconditional guarantors of the Senior Notes and are jointly and severally liable for obligations under the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility. Each guarantor subsidiary is a 100% owned subsidiary of Beazer Homes.

The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on payment of dividends. At March 31, 2007, under the most restrictive covenants of each indenture, approximately $189.8 million of our retained earnings was available for cash dividends and for share repurchases. Each indenture provides that, in the event of defined changes in control or if our consolidated tangible net worth falls below a specified level or in certain circumstances upon a sale of assets, we are required to offer to repurchase certain specified amounts of outstanding Senior Notes.

In March 2007, we voluntarily repurchased $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 5/8% and $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 3/8% Senior Notes on the open market. The aggregate purchase price was $20.6 million, or an average of 102.8% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the purchase date. The repurchase of the notes resulted in a $562,500 pretax loss included in other (loss) income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. On March 28, 2007, we repurchased an additional $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 5/8% Senior Notes which were cash settled on April 2, 2007 at a purchase price of $9.85 million. Senior Notes purchased by the Company were cancelled on the books of the Senior Notes’ trustee.

Junior Subordinated Notes - On June 15, 2006, we completed a private placement of $103.1 million of unsecured junior subordinated notes which mature on July 30, 2036 and are redeemable at par on or after July 30, 2011 and pay a fixed rate of 7.987% for the first ten years ending July 30, 2016. Thereafter, the securities have a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.45% per annum, resetting quarterly. These notes were issued to Beazer Capital Trust I, which simultaneously issued, in a private transaction, trust preferred securities and common securities with an aggregate value of $103.1 million to fund its purchase of these notes. The transaction is treated as debt in accordance with GAAP. The obligations relating to these notes and the related securities are subordinated to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Notes.

Other Notes - We periodically acquire land through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, we had outstanding notes payable of $118.3 million and $89.3 million, respectively, primarily related to land acquisitions and land development. These notes payable expire at various times through 2010 and had fixed and variable rates ranging from 6.75% to 11.00% at March 31, 2007. These notes are secured by the real estate to which they relate.

(8) Contingencies

United States Attorney Inquiry and Outstanding Litigation- As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated March 27, 2007, Beazer Homes received a subpoena from the United States Attorney’s office in the Western District of North Carolina, seeking the production of documents focusing on our mortgage origination services and, together with certain of our subsidiaries and current and former officers, has been named as a defendant in a putative securities class action lawsuit and a putative homeowner class action lawsuit. The Company has also recently learned that a second putative homeowner class action lawsuit has been filed in South Carolina and that it was named as a nominal defendant in a shareholder derivative complaint filed on April 16, 2007 against certain of our current and former executive officers and directors claiming violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and breaches of fiduciary duty based on matters related to the Company’s mortgage origination business. We are cooperating with the United States Attorney and the document production request and intend to vigorously defend each of the lawsuits. The Audit Committee of the Beazer Homes Board of Directors has initiated an independent internal review of Beazer Homes’ mortgage origination business and related matters and has retained independent legal counsel and an independent financial consultant to assist with that review. The U.S. Attorney inquiry and the related internal review by the Audit Committee and the outstanding lawsuits are in their early stages. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters or the length of time it will take to resolve them. For more detailed information see Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-Q.

Trinity Claims - Beazer Homes and certain of our subsidiaries have been and continue to be named as defendants in various construction defect claims, complaints and other legal actions that include claims related to moisture intrusion and mold. We have experienced a significant number of such claims in our Midwest region and particularly with respect to homes built by Trinity Homes LLC, a subsidiary which was acquired in the Crossmann acquisition in 2002.

As of March 31, 2007, there were six pending lawsuits related to such complaints received by Trinity. All suits are by individual homeowners, and the cost to resolve these matters is not expected to be material, either individually or in the aggregate. Additionally, a class action suit was filed in the State of Indiana in August 2003 against Trinity Homes LLC. The parties in the class action reached a settlement agreement which was approved by the court on October 20, 2004. The settlement class includes, with certain exclusions, the current owners of all Trinity homes that have brick veneer, where the closing of Trinity’s initial sale of the home took place between June 1, 1998 and October 31, 2002. The settlement agreement establishes an agreed protocol and process for assessment and remediation of any external water intrusion issues at the homes which includes, among other things, that the homes will be repaired at Trinity’s expense. The settlement agreement also provides for payment of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and for Trinity to pay an agreed amount for engineering inspection costs for each home for which a claim is filed under the settlement.

Under the settlement, subject to Trinity’s timely performance of the specified assessments and remediation activities for homeowners who file claims, each homeowner releases Trinity, Beazer Homes Investment Corp. and other affiliated companies, including Beazer Homes, from the claims asserted in the class action lawsuit, claims arising out of external water intrusion, claims of improper brick installation, including property damage claims, loss or diminution of property value claims, and most personal injury claims, among others. No appeals of the court’s order approving the settlement were received by the court within the timeframe established by the court. The Company sent out the claims notices on December 17, 2004, and the class members had until February 15, 2005 to file claims. A total of 1,310 valid claims were filed (of the 2,161 total class members), of which 613 complaints had been received prior to our receipt of the claim notices. Class members who did not file a claim by February 15, 2005 are no longer able to file a class action claim under the settlement or pursue an individual claim against Trinity. As of March 31, 2007, we have completed remediation of 1,226 homes related to 1,803 total Trinity claims.

Our warranty reserves at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 include accruals for our estimated costs to assess and remediate all homes for which Trinity had received complaints related to moisture intrusion and mold, including a provision for legal fees. Warranty reserves also include accruals for class action claims received, pursuant to the settlement discussed above, from class members who had not previously contacted Trinity with complaints.

The cost to assess and remediate a home depends on the extent of moisture damage, if any, that the home has incurred. Homes for which we receive complaints are classified into one of three categories: 1) homes with no moisture damage, 2) homes with isolated moisture damage or 3) homes with extensive moisture damage.

As of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, we accrued for our estimated cost to remediate homes that we had assessed and assigned to one of the above categories, as well as our estimated cost to remediate those homes for which an assessment had not yet been performed. For purposes of our accrual, we have historically assigned homes not yet assessed to categories based on our expectations about the extent of damage and trends observed from the results of assessments performed to date. In addition, our cost estimation process considers the subdivision of the claimant along with the categorization discussed above. Once a home is categorized, detailed budgets are used as the basis to prepare our estimated costs to remediate such home.

During fiscal 2004, we initiated a program under which we offered to repurchase a limited number of homes from specific homeowners. The program was concluded during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. We repurchased a total of 54 homes under the program. During the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold five of the repurchased homes, bringing the total homes sold to date to 27. The remaining 27 homes were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $11.6 million. The accrual at March 31, 2007 includes the estimated costs to sell homes that we have repurchased, and our estimated losses on the sale of those homes, if any.

The following accruals at March 31 represent our best estimates of the costs to resolve all asserted complaints associated with Trinity moisture intrusion and related mold issues. We regularly review our estimate of these costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we adjusted our estimate of these costs and the related accruals based on historical experience in resolving such complaints and reduced our accrual by $6.0 million. Since the commencement of the remediation program, our remediation cost per home has continued to decrease as homes requiring more extensive repairs were addressed first and our internal processes and procedures, including enhanced contractor bid negotiations and inspections, improved as experience gained in addressing these issues has yielded meaningful benefits on a per home basis. Changes in the accrual for Trinity moisture intrusion and related mold issues during the period were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	March 31,						March 31,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Balance at beginning of period	$	45,711		$	78,056		$	47,704		$	80,708
Reductions		(6,000	)		(6,500	)		(6,000	)		(6,500	)
Payments		(2,736	)		(2,075	)		(4,729	)		(4,727	)
Balance at end of period	$	36,975		$	69,481		$	36,975		$	69,481

Actual costs to assess and remediate homes in each category and subdivision, the extent of damage to homes not yet assessed, estimates of costs to sell the remaining repurchased homes, and losses on such sales could differ from our estimates. As a result, the costs to resolve existing complaints could differ from our recorded accruals and have a material adverse effect on our earnings in the periods in which the matters are resolved. Additionally, it is possible that we will incur additional losses related to these matters, including additional losses related to homes for which we have not yet received complaints.

Warranty Reserves - We currently provide a limited warranty (ranging from one to two years) covering workmanship and materials per our defined performance quality standards. In addition, we provide a limited warranty (generally ranging from a minimum of five years up to the period covered by the applicable statute of repose) covering only certain defined construction defects. We also provide a defined structural element warranty with single-family homes and townhomes in certain states.

Since Beazer Homes subcontracts its homebuilding work to subcontractors who generally provide us with an indemnity and a certificate of insurance prior to receiving payments for their work, many claims relating to workmanship and materials are the primary responsibility of the subcontractors.

As noted above, our warranty reserves at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 include accruals for Trinity moisture intrusion and related mold issues. Warranty reserves are included in other payables and accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record reserves covering anticipated warranty expense for each home closed. Management reviews the adequacy of warranty reserves each reporting period based on historical experience and management’s estimate of the costs to remediate the claims and adjusts these provisions accordingly. While we believe that our warranty reserves are adequate, historical data and trends may not accurately predict actual warranty costs, or future developments could lead to a significant change in the reserve.

Changes in our warranty reserves, which include amounts related to the Trinity moisture intrusion and mold issues discussed above, during the period are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Balance at beginning of period	$	95,843		$	131,805		$	101,033		$	138,033
Provisions		4,461			5,724			10,658			11,582
Payments		(10,834	)		(12,537	)		(22,221	)		(24,623	)
Balance at end of period	$	89,470		$	124,992		$	89,470		$	124,992

Other Contingencies - We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions, including matters relating to moisture intrusion and related mold claims, construction defects and product liability. Certain of the liabilities resulting from these actions are covered in whole or part by insurance. With respect to certain general liability exposures, including construction defect, moisture intrusion and related mold claims and product liability claims, interpretation of underlying current and future trends, assessment of claims and the related liability and reserve estimation process is highly judgmental due to the complex nature of these exposures, with each exposure exhibiting unique circumstances. In particular, for construction defect liability there is some degree of uncertainty related to the recoverability of insurance proceeds, when losses occur, the size of each loss, expectations for future interpretive rulings concerning contract provisions, possible recovery against other responsible parties, and the extent to which the assertion of these claims will expand geographically. In our opinion, based on our current assessment, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We had performance bonds and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $836.0 million and $95.3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2007 related principally to our obligations to local governments to construct roads and other improvements in various developments in addition to the letters of credit of approximately $58.6 million relating to our land option contracts discussed in Note 3. We do not believe that any such letters of credit or bonds are likely to be drawn upon.

(9) Stock Repurchase Program

On November 18, 2005, as part of an acceleration of Beazer Homes’ comprehensive plan to enhance stockholder value, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our stock repurchase plan to ten million shares of our common stock. Shares may be purchased for cash in the open market, on the NYSE or in privately negotiated transactions. We did not repurchase any shares in the open market during the six months ended March 31, 2007. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $133.2 million or approximately $66 per share pursuant to the plan. At March 31, 2007, we are authorized to purchase approximately 5.4 million additional shares pursuant to the plan.

(10) Segment Information

As defined in SFAS 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, we have 32 homebuilding operating segments operating in 21 states and one financial services segment. Revenues in our homebuilding segments are derived from the sale of homes which we construct and from land and lot sales. Revenues in our financial services segment are derived primarily from mortgage originations provided predominantly to customers of our homebuilding operations. We have aggregated our homebuilding segments into four reportable segments, described below, for our homebuilding operations and one reportable segment for our financial services operations. The segments reported have been determined to have similar economic characteristics including similar historical and expected future operating performance, employment trends, land acquisition and land constraints, and municipality behavior and meet the other aggregation criteria in SFAS 131. The reportable homebuilding segments, and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, include operations conducting business in the following states:

West: Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico

Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia

Florida

Southeast: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee

Other Homebuilding: Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Memphis, Tennessee

Management’s evaluation of segment performance is based on segment operating income, which for our homebuilding segments is defined as homebuilding and land sale revenues less the cost of home construction, impairments, if any, land development and land sales and certain selling, general and administrative expenses which are incurred by or allocated to our homebuilding segments. Segment operating income for our Financial Services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with our mortgage operations and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the Financial Services segment. The accounting policies of our segments are those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report. The following information is in thousands:

(11) Supplemental Guarantor Information

As discussed in Note 7, our obligation to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest under certain debt are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of our subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by Beazer Homes. We have determined that separate, full financial statements of the guarantors would not be material to investors and, accordingly, supplemental financial information for the guarantors is presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW:

Homebuilding. We design, sell and build single-family homes in the following geographic regions which are presented as our reportable segments. Those remaining homebuilding operations not separately reportable as segments are included in “Other”:

*West*	*Mid-Atlantic*	*Florida*	*Southeast*	*Other*
Arizona	Delaware	Florida	Georgia	Colorado
California	Maryland		Nashville, TN	Indiana
Nevada	New Jersey		North Carolina	Kentucky
New Mexico	New York		South Carolina	Memphis, TN
	Pennsylvania			Ohio
	Virginia			Texas
	West Virginia

We intend, subject to market conditions, to expand in our current markets through focused product expansion and price point diversification and to consider entering new markets either through expansion from existing markets or through acquisitions of established homebuilders. Our business strategy emphasizes further increasing our market penetration in those markets in which we currently operate most profitably, while continuously reviewing opportunities to curtail or limit investment in less profitable markets.

Our homes are designed to appeal to homeowners at various price points across various demographic segments, and are generally offered for sale in advance of their construction. Our objective is to provide our customers at each price-point with homes that incorporate exceptional value and quality while seeking to maximize our return on invested capital. To achieve this objective, we have developed a business strategy which focuses on geographic diversity and growth markets, leveraging our national brand, leveraging our size, scale and capabilities in order to optimize efficiencies and providing quality homes at various price points to meet the needs of diverse home buyers.

Our product strategy entails addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse profile of buyers as evidenced by demographic trends including, among others, increased immigration, changing profiles of households, the aging of the baby-boomers, and the rise of the echo-boomers (children of the baby-boomers) into the ranks of homeownership. Our product offering is broken down into three product categories: economy, value and style.

In addition, we offer homes in all three categories to the ‘active adult’ market which are targeted to buyers over 55 years of age, in communities with special amenities. Within each product category, we seek to provide exceptional value and to ensure an enjoyable customer experience.

Seasonal and Quarterly Variability: Our homebuilding operating cycle generally reflects escalating new order activity in the second and third fiscal quarters and increased closings in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.

Financial Services: Recognizing the homebuyer’s desire to simplify the financing process, we originate mortgages on behalf of our customers through our wholly-owned subsidiary Beazer Mortgage Corporation, or Beazer Mortgage. Beazer Mortgage originates, processes and brokers mortgages to third party investors. Beazer Mortgage also finances certain of our mortgage lending activities with borrowings under a warehouse line of credit or from general corporate funds prior to selling the loans and their servicing rights shortly after origination to third-party investors. We also provide title services to our customers in many of our markets.

Additional Products and Services for Homebuyers: In order to maximize our profitability and provide our customers with the additional products and services that they desire, we have incorporated design centers into our business. Recognizing that our customers want to choose certain components of their new home, we offer limited customization through the use of design studios in most of our markets. These design studios allow the customer to select certain non-structural customizations for their homes such as cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, appliances and wall coverings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective beginning in our fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact adopting FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues: Revenues decreased by 34.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from the same period in the prior year due to a 35.8% reduction in the number of homes closed. Continued moderation of demand compared to last year resulted in decreased closings throughout most of our markets. Home closings decreased most significantly in our Florida, Mid-Atlantic and West regions, and in parts of our Southeast region, including certain of our North Carolina and South Carolina markets.

Revenues and homes closed decreased by 31.4% and 33.3%, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year. Home closings decreased in most of our markets, but most significantly in our Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions, and in parts of our Southeast region, including our North Carolina market, and in parts of our West region, including our Arizona, Nevada and certain southern California markets.

As we continued to review opportunities to minimize underperforming investments and reallocate funds to investments that will optimize overall returns, we sold off certain land positions generating revenues from land and lot sales. We had approximately $41.5 million and $54.2 million of land and lot sales in the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $20.6 million and $45.6 million in the comparable periods of 2006.

New Orders and Backlog: New orders, net of cancellations, decreased modestly by 3.3% to 4,085 units during the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 4,224 units for the same period in the prior year. The modest decrease in new orders, despite significantly weaker market conditions in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with the same period last year, was primarily due to a national promotion campaign, characterized by significant price discounting and sales incentives, during the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we experienced a cancellation rate of 29% compared to 33% in the same period of the prior year and 43% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

New orders, net of cancellations, decreased to 5,864 units, or 27.6%, during the six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 8,096 units for the same period in the prior year. New orders decreased throughout all of our regions, but most significantly new orders decreased by 50.2% in our Florida region and 31.2% in our other homebuilding segment compared to the same six-month period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is due to lower demand and higher cancellations, primarily in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to the high number of new orders received in the six months ended March 31, 2006. The significant decrease in new orders during the six months ended March 31, 2007 was moderated by the relative strength of new orders during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of our national sales promotion. The cancellation rate for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was 34%, an increase compared to the cancellation rates of 30% for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the high cancellation rate of 43% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

The aggregate dollar value of homes in backlog at March 31, 2007 of $1.67 billion decreased 40.2% from $2.79 billion at March 31, 2006, related to a decrease in the number of homes in backlog from 9,227 units at March 31, 2006 to 5,563 units at March 31, 2007. The decrease in the number of homes in backlog across all of our markets is driven primarily by the aforementioned market weakness and higher rate of cancellations.

Gross Margin: Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 5.5% compared to a gross margin of 24.8% for the same period in the prior year. Gross margins for the second quarter continued to be negatively impacted by both higher levels of discounting and reduced revenue volume as compared to the same period a year ago. In addition, we incurred non-cash, pretax charges of $60.8 million for inventory impairments and $19.1 million for the abandonment of certain land option contracts. Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31 also includes a reduction in the accrual and costs related to the Trinity class action litigation settlement of $6.0 million in 2007 and $6.5 million in 2006.

Gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was 4.1% and was significantly impacted by reduced revenues in certain of our historically higher margin markets, increased sales incentives given to customers, higher levels of discounting and non-cash, pretax charges of $44.2 million to abandon land option contracts and $155.5 million of inventory impairments. Gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was 24.7%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) totaled $109.7 million and $225.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, and $149.8 million and $282.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same periods of the prior year is due to lower salary expense as a result of the realignment of our overhead structure and lower sales commissions related to decreased revenues. Homebuilding SG&A expense as a percentage of total revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 increased to 12.2% and 12.7%, respectively, from 11.0% for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 due to the impact of reduced revenues on fixed overhead expenses.

West: Homebuilding revenues decreased for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to reduced average sales prices, reduced demand and increased cancellations in the majority of the markets in this segment due to softer market conditions and excess capacity in both the new home and resale markets. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, homebuilding revenues decreased by 49.0% and 36.6%, from the comparable periods of fiscal 2006, driven by decreased closings of 45.9% and 37.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Gross margins were 1.4% and 1.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 25.8% and 25.4% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross margins is primarily due to the impact of inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts, softer market conditions, decreased contribution from lower average sales prices, and increased sales incentives. Total charges for inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts in the West segment were $30.1 million and $82.6 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Operating margins were -7.7% and -8.3% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 18.5% and 18.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease in operating margins is primarily due to the aforementioned charges, increased concessions offered to homebuyers and decreased contribution from lower average sales prices.

Mid-Atlantic: Homebuilding revenues in the Mid-Atlantic decreased by 56.1% and 55.0%, driven by decreased closings of 58.4% and 57.4%, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006, due to decreased closings and increased cancellations driven by excess capacity in the resale markets as investors continued to divest of prior home purchases and potential homebuyers continue to experience difficulty selling their existing homes. Gross margins were -5.1% and 2.3% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 31.5% and 32.4% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. Operating margins were -16.8% and -10.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 22.8% and 23.7% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease in gross and operating margins is primarily due to the impact of inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts, softer market conditions, decreased contribution from lower average sales prices, and increased sales incentives. Total charges for inventory impairments and abandonments in the Mid-Atlantic segment were $24.7 million and $31.7 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively.

Florida: Home closings in the Florida region decreased by 34.9% and 41.3% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006, due to softening market conditions, excess capacity and increased competition primarily in our Tampa and Jacksonville markets, driving a decrease in revenue of 36.6% and 36.9% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006. Gross margins were 16.8% and 0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 32.4% and 31.6% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross margins is primarily due to the impact of inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts, softer market conditions, decreased contribution from lower average sales prices, and increased sales incentives. Total charges for inventory impairments and abandonments in the Florida segment were $8.0 million and $50.3 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Operating margins were 6.4% and -11.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 22.8% and 22.0% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006 due primarily to the aforementioned charges and decreased contributions from gross margins.

Southeast: Revenues in our Southeast region decreased 5.8% and 9.1% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006, due to decreased closings mitigated by the increase in average sales prices due to changes in product mix. Closings decreased by 20.7% and 21.1% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in closings was driven by higher cancellations, lower demand, increased competition and the start up of new communities. Gross margins were 18.1% and 17.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 19.0% and 19.6% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross margins is primarily due to softer market conditions and the impact of inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts. Total charges for inventory impairments and abandonments in the Southeast segment were $2.9 million and $5.8 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Operating margins were 8.0% and 6.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 5.6% and 7.3% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The increase in operating margins for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over the comparable period of 2006 is primarily due to cost control initiatives implemented beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Other homebuilding: Revenues in all markets in our other homebuilding region decreased for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, with the exception of our Houston market, due to decreased closings as a result of softer market conditions and excess capacity in both the new home and resale markets. Gross margins were 2.7% and 3.3% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to 11.3% and 12.1% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. Operating margins were -10.6% and -10.2% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, compared to -3.6% and -1.6% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross margins is primarily due to the impact of inventory impairments and abandonment of certain option contracts, softer market conditions, and increased sales incentives. Total charges for inventory impairments and abandonments in the other homebuilding segment were $14.6 million and $28.5 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively.

Financial Services: Our capture rate (the percentage of mortgages we originate as a percentage of homes closed) of mortgages originated for customers of our homebuilding business, which is the most significant source of revenue in this segment, increased slightly for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 to 68% and 66%, respectively, compared to 66% and 65%, respectively, in the same periods of fiscal 2006. All costs related to Financial Services are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for Financial Services decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from the comparable period of 2006 due primarily to a 33.4% decrease in the number of mortgage originations. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2007 increased from the prior year due to the inclusion of Title Services in Financial Services beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

Corporate and unallocated: Corporate and unallocated costs totaled $33.2 million and $65.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $20.3 million and $41.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in corporate and unallocated costs relates primarily to decreased inventories resulting in lower capitalization of inventory related costs.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate was 37.8% and 37.7% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and 37.37% and 37.50% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:

Our sources of cash liquidity include, but are not limited to, cash from operations, amounts available under credit facilities, proceeds from senior notes and other bank borrowings, the issuance of equity securities and other external sources of funds. Our short-term and long-term liquidity depend primarily upon our level of net income, working capital management (accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities) and bank borrowings. We believe that available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements, scheduled debt and dividend payments, and interest and tax obligations for the next twelve months. However, any material variance of our operating results or land acquisitions from our projections or investments in or acquisitions of businesses could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing. We plan to use cash generated to invest in growing the business, to fund land acquisitions and operations, pay dividends, and to repurchase our common stock and outstanding Senior Notes as deemed appropriate. When deemed appropriate, we will continue to fund our share repurchase program (discussed further below) by limiting or curtailing operations in underperforming markets while reinvesting in higher margin markets. We will also continue to evaluate our prospects in future months and may walk away from additional properties and option contracts depending upon the health of the market in general, and locally. However, at this time we believe that as of March 31, 2007, we have recorded all known impairments and abandonments.

At March 31, 2007, we had total cash of $224.5 million, compared to $172.4 million at September 30, 2006. The increase in cash was primarily due to lower accounts receivable outstanding and lower inventory purchases, both related to a lower number of closings and new orders, net of cancellations. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $183.3 million compared to a net use of funds of $345.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2006 due to strong sales in the prior year which drove increases in inventory.

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $41.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2006, as we continued to fund existing unconsolidated joint ventures through development completion.

Net cash used in financing activities was $113.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to the net repayments of the Warehouse Line related to the reduction in new orders and the related new mortgage originations. In addition, we voluntarily repurchased $20.0 million of Senior Notes in the open market during the six months ended March 31, 2007 at a price of $20.6 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $104.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as increased book overdrafts and net borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and warehouse line of credit more than offset $133.2 million of common stock repurchases.

At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 we had the following borrowings (in thousands):

In March 2007, we voluntarily repurchased $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 5/8% and $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 3/8% Senior Notes in the open market. The aggregate purchase price was $20.6 million, or an average of 102.8% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the purchase date. The repurchase of the notes resulted in a $562,500 pretax loss included in other (loss) income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. On March 28, 2007, we repurchased an additional $10.0 million of our outstanding 8 5/8% Senior Notes which were cash settled on April 2, 2007 at a purchase price of $9.85 million. Senior Notes repurchased by the Company were cancelled on the books of the Senior Notes’ trustee.

Other Notes - We periodically acquire land through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, we had outstanding notes payable of $118.3 million and $89.3 million, respectively, primarily related to land acquisitions. These notes payable expire at various times through 2010 and had fixed and variable rates ranging from 6.75% to 11.00% at March 31, 2007. These notes are secured by the real estate to which they relate.

There have been no material changes to our long-term debt and contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 other than those discussed above.

Stock Repurchases and Dividends Paid - On November 18, 2005, as part of an acceleration of Beazer Homes’ comprehensive plan to enhance stockholder value, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our stock repurchase plan to ten million shares of our common stock. Shares may be purchased for cash in the open market, on the NYSE, or in privately negotiated transactions. We did not repurchase any shares in the open market during the six months ended March 31, 2007. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $133.2 million or approximately $66 per share pursuant to the plan. At March 31, 2007, we are authorized to purchase approximately 5.4 million additional shares pursuant to the plan.

For the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per common share, or a total of approximately $7.8 million in 2007 and $8.3 million in 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Commitments - We attempt to control half or more of our land supply through option contracts. As a result of the flexibility that these options provide us, upon a change in market conditions we may renegotiate the terms of the options prior to exercise or terminate the applicable agreements. Option contracts generally require the payment of cash or the posting of a letter of credit for the right to acquire lots during a specified period of time at a certain price. Under option contracts, both with and without specific performance provisions, purchase of the properties is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by us and the sellers. Our obligation with respect to options with specific performance provisions is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in other payables and accrued liabilities. Under option contracts without specific performance obligations, our liability is generally limited to forfeiture of the non-refundable deposits, letters of credit and other non-refundable amounts incurred, which aggregated approximately $302.5 million at March 31, 2007. This amount includes non-refundable letters of credit of approximately $42.4 million. The total remaining purchase price, net of cash deposits, committed under all options was $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2007. $16.2 million of total remaining purchase price under such options contains specific performance clauses which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land seller meeting certain obligations.

We expect to exercise all of our option contracts with specific performance obligations and, subject to market conditions, substantially all of our option contracts without specific performance obligations. Various factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as market conditions, weather conditions and the timing of the completion of development activities, can have a significant impact on the timing of option exercises. Under their current terms, and assuming no significant changes in market conditions or other factors, we expect to exercise the majority of our land options within three to four years.

We have historically funded the exercise of land options through a combination of operating cash flows and borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect these sources to continue to be adequate to fund anticipated future option exercises. Therefore, we do not anticipate that the exercise of our land options will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Certain of our option contracts are with sellers who are deemed to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”s) under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”). We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Our risk is generally limited to the option deposits that we pay, and creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, for those option contracts for which we are the primary beneficiary, we are required to consolidate the land under option at fair value. We believe that the exercise prices of our option contracts approximate their fair value. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 reflect consolidated inventory not owned of $462.3 million and $471.4 million, respectively. We consolidated $143.8 million and $146.6 million of lot option agreements as consolidated inventory not owned pursuant to FIN 46R as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, we recorded $318.5 million and $324.8 million, respectively, of land under the caption consolidated inventory not owned related to lot option agreements for which our deposits and pre-acquisition development costs exceeded certain thresholds. Obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned totaled $335.6 million at March 31, 2007 and $330.7 million at September 30, 2006. The difference between the balances of consolidated inventory not owned and obligations related to consolidated inventory not owned represents cash deposits paid under the option agreements.

We participate in a number of land development joint ventures in which we have less than a controlling interest. We enter into joint ventures in order to acquire attractive land positions, to manage our risk profile and to leverage our capital base. Our joint ventures are typically entered into with developers, other homebuilders and financial partners to develop finished lots for sale to the joint venture’s members and other third parties. We account for our interest in these joint ventures under the equity method. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include investments in joint ventures totaling $128.4 million and $122.8 million at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we wrote down the investment in two of our Virginia joint ventures reflecting impairments of inventory held within those ventures. The related impairment charge of $7.1 million is recorded in equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Our joint ventures typically obtain secured acquisition and development financing. At March 31, 2007, our unconsolidated joint ventures had borrowings outstanding totaling $788.8 million. In some instances, we and our joint venture partners have provided varying levels of guarantees of debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At March 31, 2007, we had a repayment guarantee of $13.0 million and limited maintenance guarantees of $6.3 million related to certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures’ debt (see Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our joint ventures and related guarantees).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

As discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters and relate to inventory valuation, goodwill, homebuilding revenues and costs and warranty reserves. Although our accounting policies are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006.

OUTLOOK:

The current housing market environment continues to be characterized by lower demand and higher inventories, with heavy discounting needed to drive meaningful sales volume. Given current market conditions, and the low visibility as to when conditions may improve, we are not comfortable at this time updating our earnings per share outlook for fiscal 2007 and have withdrawn our previously-issued outlook.

During this period, we will focus on maintaining balance sheet strength, continuing to reduce costs, and maximizing our financial resources to better position the Company to take advantage of those opportunities that will arise when conditions stabilize. Steps taken to date to align our cost structure with the current environment are consistent with our goal to be in the top quartile of our peer group with respect to margins and returns.

Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this quarterly report will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “goal,” “target” or other similar words or phrases. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this quarterly report. Except as may be required under applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the matters discussed in this quarterly report in the sections captioned “Outlook” and “Financial Condition and Liquidity.” Additional information about factors that could lead to material changes in performance is contained in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 and Item 1A. Risk Factors of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Such factors may include:

economic changes nationally or in local markets;

volatility of mortgage interest rates and inflation;

increased competition;

shortages of skilled labor or raw materials used in the production of houses;

increased prices for labor, land and raw materials used in the production of houses;

increased land development costs on projects under development;

decreased land values underlying land option agreements;

the cost and availability of insurance, including the availability of insurance for the presence of mold;

the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;

the results of any litigation or government proceedings;

a material failure on the part of Trinity Homes LLC to satisfy the conditions of the class action settlement agreement;

any delays in reacting to changing consumer preference in home design;

terrorist acts and other acts of war;

changes in consumer confidence;

changes in levels of demand;

delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce production and overhead cost structure;

delays in land development or home construction resulting from adverse weather conditions;

potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations, or governmental policies and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations and governmental policies;

the outcome of the U.S. Attorney review and related internal review, the class action lawsuits, derivative claims and similar proceedings

changes in accounting policies, standards, guidelines or principles, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies as well as the FASB; or

other factors over which the Company has little or no control.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates. We do not believe that our exposure in this area is material to cash flows or earnings. As of March 31, 2007, we had $106.2 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on our average outstanding borrowings under our variable rate debt at March 31, 2007, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would negatively impact our annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $1.1 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, management, including our Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Further our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

United States Attorney Inquiry. As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated March 27, 2007, Beazer Homes and its subsidiary Beazer Mortgage Corporation received a subpoena from the United States Attorney’s office in the Western District of North Carolina, upon application of the Office of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General, seeking the production of documents focusing on our mortgage origination services. We are cooperating with the United States Attorney and the document production request. The Audit Committee of Beazer Homes’ Board of Directors has initiated an internal review of Beazer Homes’ mortgage origination business and related matters and has retained independent legal counsel and an independent financial consultant to assist with that review.

Securities Class Action. Beazer Homes and certain of our current and former executive officers were named as defendants in a putative class action securities lawsuit filed on March 29, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Plaintiffs filed this action on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Beazer Homes’ common stock between July 27, 2006 and March 27, 2007. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by issuing materially false and misleading statements regarding our business and prospects because we did not disclose facts related to alleged improper lending practices in our mortgage origination business. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages. At this time, we have found no evidence to support the allegations and intend to vigorously defend the Company.

Derivative Shareholder Action. Certain of Beazer Homes’ current and former executive officers and directors were named as defendants in a derivative shareholder suit filed on April 16, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint also names Beazer Homes as a nominal defendant. The complaint, purportedly on behalf of Beazer Homes, alleges that the defendants 1) violated Sections 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; 2) breached their fiduciary duties and misappropriated information; 3) abused their control; 4) wasted corporate assets; and 5) were unjustly enriched. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages against the individual defendants and in favor of Beazer Homes. At this time, Beazer Homes has found no evidence to support the allegations and the defendants intend to vigorously defend against the claims.

Homeowners Class Actions. Beazer Homes’ subsidiary, Beazer Homes Corp. and Beazer Mortgage Corporation, are defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed on March 23, 2007 in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, County of Mecklenberg, State of North Carolina. The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class defined as North Carolina residents who purchased homes in subdivisions in North Carolina containing homes constructed by the defendants where the foreclosure rate is allegedly significantly higher than the state-wide average. The complaint alleges that the defendants utilized unfair trade practices to allow low income purchasers to qualify for loans they allegedly could not afford. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages and also request that any damage award be trebled. At this time, we have found no evidence to support the allegations and intend to vigorously defend this action.

A second similar putative homeowner class action lawsuit was filed on April 23, 2007 in the Federal District Court for the State of South Carolina, Columbia Division. The complaint alleges that Beazer Homes Corp. and Beazer Mortgage Corporation illegally financed the purchase of homes sold to low income purchasers, who allegedly would not have otherwise qualified for the loans, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, including damages for alleged violations of federal RICO statutes. At this time we have found no evidence to support the allegations and intend to vigorously defend this action.

The investigation by the United States Attorney’s office, the related internal review by the Audit Committee and the class action lawsuits and the derivative shareholder lawsuit described above are in their early stages. At this time, management cannot predict the outcome of any such matters or the length of time it will take to resolve any of the above.

EPA Information Request. In November 2003, Beazer Homes received a request for information from the EPA pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act seeking information concerning the nature and extent of storm water discharge practices relating to certain of our projects completed or under construction. The EPA has since requested information on additional projects and has conducted site inspections at a number of locations. In certain instances, the EPA or the equivalent state agency has issued Administrative Orders identifying alleged instances of noncompliance and requiring corrective action to address the alleged deficiencies in storm water management practices. As of March 31, 2007, no monetary penalties have been imposed in connection with such Administrative Orders. The EPA has reserved the right to impose monetary penalties at a later date, the amount of which, if any, cannot currently be estimated. Beazer Homes has taken action to comply with the requirements of each of the Administrative Orders and is working to otherwise maintain compliance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.

In June 2006, we received an Administrative Order issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection alleging certain violations of a wetlands disturbance permit with respect to a project in New Jersey, and assessing a proposed fine of $630,000. We met with the Department to discuss their concerns and requested a hearing on the matter which has not yet been scheduled. We believe that we have significant defenses to the alleged violations and intend to contest the agency’s findings and the proposed fine.

In August 2006, we received an Administrative Order issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection alleging certain violations of a wetlands disturbance permit with respect to a second project in New Jersey, and assessing a proposed fine of $678,000. We met with the Department to discuss their concerns and requested a hearing on the matter which has not yet been scheduled. We believe that we have significant defenses to the alleged violations and intend to contest the agency’s findings and the proposed fine.

We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions, most relating to construction defects, moisture intrusion and related mold claims and product liability. Certain of the liabilities resulting from these actions are covered in whole or part by insurance. In our opinion, based on its current assessment, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1.A. Risk Factors

The information set forth below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

We are the subject of an ongoing governmental investigation and certain pending civil litigation which could require us to pay substantial fines, damages or other penalties or otherwise have a material adverse effect on us.

We and our subsidiary Beazer Mortgage Corporation are responding to a request for documents from the United States Attorney’s office in the Western District of North Carolina, we and certain of our current and former executive officers are defendants in a securities class action lawsuit, certain of our subsidiaries have been named in class action lawsuits and certain of our current and former employees, directors and officers have been named in a derivative shareholder lawsuit. The investigation and the lawsuits are in the early stages and we cannot predict the results that will be achieved or the effect that any adverse findings in such investigation or lawsuits may have on us. While we are cooperating with the investigation, developments, including the expansion of the scope of the investigation, could negatively impact us and could divert the efforts and attention of our management team. Unfavorable results in connection with the investigation could result in the payment of criminal or civil fines; the imposition of an injunction on future conduct; or the imposition of other penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. An unfavorable determination in either of the lawsuits could result in the payment by us of monetary damages which may not be fully covered by insurance. Further, the defense of such lawsuits, even if we are ultimately successful, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on management’s attention to the operation of our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
