D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
December 31, 2006
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (which are referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires), as well as certain variable interest entities required to be consolidated pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” as amended (FIN 46), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
  Seasonality
     Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007.
  Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
  Business
     The Company is a national homebuilder that is engaged primarily in the construction and sale of single-family housing in 85 markets and 27 states in the United States at December 31, 2006. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached houses on lots developed by the Company and on finished lots which it purchases, ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums (including some mid-rise buildings), which share common walls and roofs. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots it has developed or bought. The Company also provides title agency and mortgage brokerage services, principally to its homebuyers. The Company does not retain or service the mortgages that it originates but, rather, sells the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors.
  Inventories and Cost of Sales
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” land inventory and related communities under development are reviewed for potential write-downs when impairment indicators are present. SFAS No. 144 requires that in the event the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. These estimates of cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs, and other factors. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ from such estimates. For those assets deemed to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company’s determination of fair value is primarily based on discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
December 31, 2006
     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, valuation adjustments are recorded on finished homes when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values are greater than the fair value less costs to sell these homes.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2006, several communities under development that demonstrated potential impairment indicators were evaluated for potential impairment. It was determined that projects with a carrying value of $168.0 million, substantially all of which were in California and Colorado, were impaired. Consequently, an impairment charge of $40.9 million was recorded to reduce the carrying value of the impaired projects to their estimated fair value. If conditions in the homebuilding industry or specific markets in which the Company operates worsen in the future, the Company may be required to evaluate additional projects for potential impairment which may result in additional impairment charges and such charges could be significant.
     From time to time, the Company writes off earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land and lot option contracts which it no longer plans to pursue. During the three month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company wrote off $36.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts.
NOTE B — EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
     The following table sets forth the denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    December 31,  
    2006     2005  
    (In millions)  
Denominator for basic earnings per share— weighted average common shares
    313.4       312.9  
Effect of dilutive securities:
               
Employee stock options
    2.2       4.7  
 
           
Denominator for diluted earnings per share— adjusted weighted average common shares
    315.6       317.6  
 
           
     For the three months ended December 31, 2006, options to purchase 2.8 million shares of common stock at various prices were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at $36.92 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive.
NOTE C – CONSOLIDATED LAND INVENTORY NOT OWNED
     In the ordinary course of its homebuilding business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Under such option purchase contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of the option purchase contracts, many of the option deposits are not refundable at the Company’s discretion. Under the requirements of FIN 46, certain of the Company’s option purchase contracts result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option.
     In applying the provisions of FIN 46, the Company evaluates those land and lot option purchase contracts with variable interest entities to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary based upon analysis of the

-7-


Table of Contents

D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
December 31, 2006
variability of the expected gains and losses of the entity. Based on this evaluation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity with which the Company has entered into a land or lot option purchase contract, the variable interest entity is consolidated.
     The consolidation of these variable interest entities and other inventory obligations added $104.6 million in land inventory not owned and minority interests related to entities not owned to the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2006. The Company’s obligations related to these land or lot option contracts are guaranteed by cash deposits totaling $15.6 million and performance letters of credit, promissory notes and surety bonds totaling $2.4 million. Creditors, if any, of these variable interest entities have no recourse against the Company.
     At December 31, 2006, including the deposits with the variable interest entities above, the Company had deposits amounting to $189.1 million to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of $3.2 billion. Included in the total deposits at December 31, 2006, were deposits aggregating $38.8 million related to purchase contracts representing $772 million of remaining purchase price for which the Company does not expect to exercise its option to purchase the land or lots, but the contract has not yet been terminated. Consequently, $38.8 million of deposits relating to these contracts have been written off, $15.2 million of which occurred in the three months ended December 31, 2006, resulting in a net deposit balance of $150.3 million at December 31, 2006. For the variable interest entities which are unconsolidated because the Company is not subject to a majority of the risk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entities’ residual returns, the maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to the amounts of the Company’s option deposits, which totaled $117.2 million at December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
December 31, 2006
     The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.
Homebuilding:
     In November 2006, the Company increased the size of its $2.15 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion letter of credit sub-facility, to $2.5 billion and extended its maturity by one year to December 16, 2011. The revolving credit facility has an uncommitted $400 million accordion provision which could be used to increase the facility to $2.9 billion. The Company’s borrowing capacity under this facility is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s borrowing capacity under the facility was $1.8 billion. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries other than its financial services subsidiaries. Borrowings bear interest at rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread based upon the Company’s ratio of homebuilding debt to total capitalization and its senior unsecured debt rating. The interest rate of the unsecured bank debt at December 31, 2006 was 6.1% per annum. In addition to the stated interest rates, the revolving credit facility requires the Company to pay certain fees.
     In November 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding debt securities, replacing the previous debt securities repurchase authorization of $200 million, and extending its term to November 30, 2007. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2006.
     The revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes impose restrictions on the Company’s operations and activities. The most significant restrictions relate to limits on investments, cash dividends, stock repurchases and other restricted payments, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens and asset dispositions, and require maintenance of certain levels of leverage, interest coverage and tangible net worth. In addition, the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of liens.
     At December 31, 2006, under the most restrictive covenants in effect, cash dividend payments for the remainder of fiscal 2007 are limited to $536.5 million, and approximately $3.2 billion was available for all restricted payments in the future.
Financial Services:
     The Company’s mortgage subsidiary has a $540 million mortgage warehouse loan facility that matures April 6, 2007. Under the accordion provision of the credit agreement, the total capacity may be increased to $750 million upon consent of the lenders. The mortgage warehouse facility is secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale and is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the guarantors of its homebuilding debt. The borrowing capacity under this facility is limited to the lesser of the unused portion of the facility or an amount determined under a borrowing base arrangement. Under the borrowing base limitation, the amount drawn on the facility may not exceed 98% of all eligible mortgage loans held for sale and made available to the lenders to secure any borrowings under the facility. Borrowings bear daily interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a fixed premium. The interest rate of the mortgage warehouse line payable at December 31, 2006 was 6.1% per annum.
     The Company’s mortgage subsidiary also has an $800 million commercial paper conduit facility (the CP conduit facility), that matures June 27, 2009, subject to the annual renewal of the 364-day backup liquidity feature. This credit facility, which previously had a capacity of $1.2 billion, was amended in December 2006 to reduce the capacity to $800 million, adjusting its size to seasonal volume levels. The CP conduit facility is secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale and is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the guarantors of its homebuilding debt. Additionally, at September 30, 2006, borrowings under the CP conduit facility were secured by cash arising from borrowings under the facility made prior to the assignment of mortgage loans held for sale as collateral. At December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under the facility prior to the assignment of mortgage loans held for

sale, and therefore, no cash was restricted under this facility. The mortgage loans assigned to secure the CP conduit facility are used as collateral for asset-backed commercial paper issued by multi-seller conduits in the commercial paper market. The interest rate of the CP conduit line payable at December 31, 2006 was 5.6% per annum.
NOTE E – HOMEBUILDING INTEREST
     The Company capitalizes homebuilding interest costs to inventory during development and construction. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. The following table summarizes the Company’s homebuilding interest costs incurred, capitalized, charged to cost of sales and expensed directly during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

NOTE F – WARRANTY COSTS
     The Company typically provides its homebuyers a one-year comprehensive limited warranty for all parts and labor and a ten-year limited warranty for major construction defects. The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built.
     Changes in the Company’s warranty liability were as follows:

NOTE G – MORTGAGE LOANS
     Mortgage Loans - Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. Loans that have been closed but not committed to a third-party investor are matched with either forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (FMBS) or Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) that are designated as fair value hedges. Hedged loans are either committed to third-party investors within three days of origination or pooled and committed in bulk to third-party investors typically within 30 days of origination. The notional amounts of the FMBS and the EDFC used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale can vary in relationship to

the underlying loan amounts, depending on the typical movements in the value of each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. The effectiveness of the fair value hedges is continuously monitored and any ineffectiveness, which for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $263.2 million in loans not committed to third-party investors which were hedged with $659.6 million of FMBS and EDFC.
     Some of the loans sold by DHI Mortgage are sold with limited recourse provisions. Based on historical experience, the Company has estimated and recorded a total allowance or reserve for loans held in portfolio or loans held for sale, or for losses related to loans sold with recourse of $17.3 million and $15.6 million at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
     Loan Commitments - To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and related Derivatives Implementation Group conclusions, the Company classifies and accounts for IRLCs as non-designated derivative instruments at fair value. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s IRLCs totaled $342.5 million.
     The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, FMBS and the purchase of EDFC. These instruments are considered non-designated derivatives and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current earnings. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $163.0 million of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and $795.6 million outstanding of FMBS and EDFC related to its uncommitted IRLCs.
     In an effort to stimulate home sales by potentially offering homebuyers a below market interest rate on their home financing, the Company began a program during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 which protects it from future increases in interest rates related to potential mortgage originations of approximately $261 million. To accomplish this, the Company purchases forward rate agreements (FRAs) and economic interest rate hedges in the form of FMBS and put options on both EDFC and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). At December 31, 2006, the notional amount of the FRAs was $219 million, while economic interest rate hedges totaled $808 million in EDFC put options and $13 million in MBS put options, hedging a notional principal of $42 million in mortgage loan commitments. Both the FRAs and economic interest rate hedges have various maturities not exceeding twelve months. These instruments are considered non-designated derivatives and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The gains and losses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 were not significant.
NOTE H – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
     During the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, which was paid on November 1, 2006 to stockholders of record on October 23, 2006. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share was declared during the three months ended December 31, 2005.
     In January 2007, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, payable on February 9, 2007 to stockholders of record on January 26, 2007. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share was declared in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2006.
     The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement registering debt and equity securities that it may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. Also, at December 31, 2006, the Company had the capacity to issue approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock under its acquisition shelf registration statement, to effect, in whole or in part, possible future business acquisitions.

December 31, 2006
     In November 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $463.2 million of the Company’s common stock, representing the remaining amount of the previous common stock repurchase authorization of $500 million, and extended its term to November 30, 2007. All of the $463.2 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2006.
NOTE I – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE J – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company has been named as defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including warranty and construction defect claims on closed homes. The Company has established reserves for such contingencies, based on the expected costs of the self-insured portion of such claims. The Company’s estimates of such reserves are based on the facts and circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends, including estimates of the costs of unreported claims related to past operations. These reserve estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.
     Management believes that, while the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, the liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds management’s estimates reflected in the reserves relating to such matter, the Company could incur additional charges that could be significant.
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. At December 31, 2006, the Company had total deposits of $189.1 million, comprised of cash deposits of $165.1 million, promissory notes of $13.2 million, and letters of credit and surety bonds of $10.8 million to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of $3.2 billion. Included in the total deposits at December 31, 2006 were deposits aggregating $38.8 million related to purchase contracts representing $772 million of remaining purchase price for which the Company does not expect to exercise its option to purchase the land or lots, but the contract has not yet been terminated. Consequently, $38.8 million of deposits relating to these contracts have been written off, $15.2 million of which occurred in the three months ended December 31, 2006, resulting in a net deposit balance of $150.3 million at December 31, 2006. Only $40.4 million of the $3.2 billion in land and lot option purchase contracts contain specific performance clauses which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land seller meeting certain obligations. The majority of land and lots under contract are expected to be purchased within three years, to the extent the Company chooses to exercise its options to purchase such land and lots.

     Additionally, in the normal course of its business activities, the Company provides standby letters of credit and surety bonds, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts. At December 31, 2006, outstanding standby letters of credit were $122.5 million and surety bonds were $2.3 billion. The Company has additional capacity of $888.4 million for standby letters of credit under its revolving credit facility.
NOTE K — REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION
     The Company’s seven homebuilding operating regions and its financial services operation are its operating segments under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The homebuilding operating regions have historically been aggregated into a single reportable homebuilding segment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company reassessed the aggregation of its operating segments, and as a result, restated its disclosure to include six separate reportable homebuilding segments and one financial services segment. Two of the homebuilding operating regions were aggregated into one reporting segment based on their economic similarities. Under this revised presentation, the Company’s reportable homebuilding segments are: Northeast, Southeast, South Central, Southwest, California and West. These reporting segments have homebuilding operations located in the following states:
         
 
  Northeast:   Delaware, Georgia (Savannah only), Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin
 
       
 
  Southeast:   Alabama, Florida and Georgia
 
       
 
  South Central:   Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas
 
       
 
  Southwest:   Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas (Lubbock only) and Utah
 
       
 
  California:   California and Nevada (Reno only)
 
       
 
  West:   Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington
     Consequently, the Company has restated the prior year segment information provided in this note to conform to the current year presentation.
     Homebuilding is the Company’s core business, generating 98% of consolidated revenues during both three-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and 85% and 96% of consolidated income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company’s homebuilding segments are primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land for residential purposes and the construction and sale of residential homes on such land, in 27 states and 85 markets in the United States. The homebuilding segments generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, with a lesser amount from the sale of land and lots.
     The Company’s financial services segment provides mortgage banking and title agency services principally to customers of the Company’s homebuilding segments. The Company does not retain or service the mortgages that it originates, but, rather, sells the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors. The financial services segment generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
December 31, 2006
NOTE M – OTHER EVENTS
     As previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Staff) conducted a review of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the respective quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 and issued a letter commenting on certain aspects of those reports. The Company believes that all matters addressed in the comment letter and its subsequent discussions with the SEC Staff have been resolved, except with regard to the Company’s reporting of its operating segments under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” As a result of the discussions, beginning with its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Company has disaggregated the disclosure regarding its homebuilding operations from one reportable homebuilding segment to six separate reportable homebuilding segments. The disclosures within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented reflect this revised aggregation. However, in the discussions, the SEC Staff also commented that similar disclosures should be made in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The Company has not agreed to the SEC Staff’s comment because, among other reasons, the information in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 includes, in addition to fiscal 2006 segment information, prior year comparable revised segment information related to revenues, inventory impairments and income before income taxes for both fiscal 2005 and 2004, revised segment inventories as of September 30, 2005, and additional presentation and discussion of segment information in the management discussion and analysis section for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. The prior year segment information has no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s discussions with the SEC Staff on this remaining matter have not been concluded.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     We are the largest homebuilding company in the United States based on domestic homes closed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. We construct and sell high quality homes through our operating divisions in 27 states and 85 metropolitan markets of the United States as of December 31, 2006, primarily under the name of D.R. Horton, America’s Builder. Our homebuilding operations primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $90,000 to $900,000, with an average closing price of $270,600 during the three months ended December 31, 2006. Approximately 81% and 84% of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of single-family detached homes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The remainder of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums (including some mid-rise buildings), which share common walls and roofs.
     Through our financial services operations, we provide mortgage banking and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our wholly-owned subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services principally to purchasers of homes we build and sell. We originate mortgage loans, then package and sell them and their servicing rights to third-party investors shortly after origination on a non-recourse or limited recourse basis. Our subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance agents by providing title insurance policies, examination and closing services primarily to purchasers of homes we build and sell.

     The industry-wide softening of demand for new homes which began in fiscal 2006 has continued into fiscal 2007. In many markets, home price appreciation over the past several years had hurt the ability of some potential homebuyers to afford a home, but the price appreciation had also attracted real estate investors and speculators to the new and existing home markets. As price appreciation slowed, the demand from investors and speculators for new homes also slowed, resulting in an increase in new homes available for sale. At the same time, existing homes offered for sale by investors and speculators increased. In response to higher inventories of both new and existing homes, homebuilders increased the use of sales incentives to continue to sell new homes. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, we have continued to experience a decrease in our net sales orders due to a decline in homebuyer consumer confidence and continued elevated levels of sales contract cancellations, both of which we believe were caused by the continued increase in the level of sales incentives offered by both builders of new homes and sellers of existing homes. Our use of incentives also contributed to significantly lower gross margins on the homes we closed during the quarter. Although we believe the long-term fundamentals which support home sales demand remain solid and the current negative conditions in many of our markets will moderate over time, we cannot predict the duration or severity of the current market conditions.
     Our operating strategy to meet the new homebuilding business environment includes:
    Decreasing our SG&A infrastructure to be in line with our reduced expectations of production levels.
 
    Decreasing our cost of goods purchased from both vendors and subcontractors.
 
    Reducing our land and lot inventory from current levels by significantly curtailing our spending for land and lot purchases and renegotiating or canceling land purchase contracts.
 
    Reducing our inventory of homes under construction by limiting the construction of unsold homes.
 
    Continuing to offer incentives to increase sales as necessary to maximize profits, returns and cash flows.
     We expect that our operating strategy will generate positive cash flows in fiscal 2007 and allow us to maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, providing us with flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they become available in the future.
     Key financial results as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, were as follows:
    Diluted earnings per share decreased 64% to $0.35 per share.
 
    Net income decreased 65% to $109.7 million.
 
    Homebuilding revenues remained relatively flat at $2.8 billion.
 
    Homes closed increased 3% to 10,202 homes, while the average selling price of homes closed decreased 4% to $270,600.
 
    Net sales orders decreased 23% to 8,771 homes.
 
    Sales order backlog decreased 24% to $4.7 billion.
 
    Home sales gross margins before inventory impairments and land option cost write-offs decreased 920 basis points to 18.6%.
 
    Homebuilding SG&A expenses as a percentage of homebuilding revenues declined 100 basis points to 10.5%.
 
    Stockholders’ equity increased 16% to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2006 from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2005.
 
    Net homebuilding debt to total capital declined 110 basis points to 41.2%.
 
    Net cash provided by operations was $295.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

  Net Sales Orders and Backlog
     Net sales orders represent the number and dollar value of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of sales contract cancellations. The value of net sales orders decreased 28%, to $2,292.9 million (8,771 homes) for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $3,166.8 million (11,463 homes) for the same period of 2005. The number of net sales orders decreased 23% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005, reflecting the industry-wide softening of demand for new homes in most homebuilding markets. We believe the most significant factors contributing to the slowing of demand for new homes in most of our markets include an increase in the supply of existing homes for sale, a reduction in investor purchases and a decline in homebuyer consumer confidence. Additionally, we believe that the rapid price appreciation of new and existing homes in some markets over the past several years has hurt the ability of some potential homebuyers to afford a home. Many prospective homebuyers continue to approach the purchase decision more tentatively due to continued increases in sales incentives offered on both new and existing homes and the general uncertainty surrounding the housing market.
     In comparing the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 to the same period of 2005, percentage decreases in the value of net sales orders of 20% or greater occurred in all six of our market regions. These decreases were primarily due to similar decreases in the number of homes sold, while our Southwest and Southeast regions also experienced decreases in their average selling price of 22% and 10%, respectively.
     Our cancellation rate during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was 33%, which exceeded our typical historical range of 16% to 20%, but improved from our cancellation rate of 40% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. A significant portion of the increase in cancellations above historical levels was due to our prospective homebuyers being unable to sell their existing homes.
     The average price of a net sales order in the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $261,400, a decrease of 5% from the $276,300 average in the comparable period of 2005. During the three-month period, the largest percentage decrease occurred in our Southwest region, due primarily to price reductions and increased incentives in the Arizona markets. In general, our pricing is dependent on the demand for our homes; therefore, the decline in our average selling price during this period was due in large part to the recent decrease in demand and our increased use of sales incentives in many markets. We also continually monitor and may adjust our product and geographic mix and pricing within our homebuilding markets in an effort to keep our core product offerings affordable for our target customer base, typically first-time and move-up homebuyers. This can contribute to decreases in the average selling price.
     Sales order backlog represents homes under contract but not yet closed at the end of the period. Many of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies, including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations. In the past, our backlog has been a reliable indicator of the level of closings in our two subsequent fiscal quarters, although this relationship may change if our cancellation rates remain above normal levels. Historically, our backlog conversion rates (closings during the quarter divided by beginning of the quarter backlog), have generally been in the range of 50% to 75%, with the highest quarterly conversion rate of each fiscal year typically occurring in the fourth quarter.
     At December 31, 2006, the value of our backlog of sales orders was $4,716.9 million (16,694 homes), a decrease of 24% from $6,213.0 million (20,816 homes) at December 31, 2005. The average sales price of homes in backlog was $282,600 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of 5% from the $298,500 average at December 31, 2005. The value of our sales order backlog decreased in five of our six market regions, including decreases of 40% in both our Northeast and Southeast regions, which reflects the continuing difficult sales environment and higher than normal cancellation rates. The value of our sales order backlog increased by 12% in our South Central region, where market conditions and sales have been slower to be affected by the overall downturn in the homebuilding industry.
     Our net sales orders for the month ended January 31, 2007 decreased as compared to the same period in 2006 at a greater rate than the 23% decrease we experienced in our most recent quarter. Our cancellation rate for the month ended January 31, 2007 was similar to our cancellation rate during our most recent quarter.

  Home Sales Revenue and Gross Profit
     Revenues from home sales decreased 1%, to $2,761.1 million (10,202 homes closed) for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $2,789.1 million (9,891 homes closed) for the comparable period of 2005. The average selling price of homes closed during the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $270,600, a decrease of 4% from the $282,000 average for the same period of 2005. Home sales revenues in our South Central and Southwest regions increased by 14% and 4%, respectively, during the three-month period, while home sales revenues in our other four regions decreased during the period. As reflected in our net sales order volume, demand has slowed in many of our markets in recent quarters, and in general, we are offering more incentives and price concessions to obtain home sales.
     The number of homes closed in the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased 3%, with increases in three of our six market regions, including a 13% increase in our Southwest region. As a result of the decline in net sales orders in recent quarters, we expect to close fewer homes in the second quarter of the current year than we did in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. As conditions change in the housing markets in which we operate, our ongoing level of net sales orders will determine the number of home closings and amount of revenue we will generate.
     Total homebuilding gross profit decreased by 45%, to $444.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $805.4 million for the comparable period of 2005. Including sales of both homes and land/lots, as well as impairment charges and land option cost write-offs, total homebuilding gross profit as a percentage of homebuilding revenues decreased 1,250 basis points, to 15.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from 28.3% in the comparable period of 2005.
     Gross profit from home sales decreased by 34%, to $514.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $775.7 million for the comparable period of 2005. Gross profit from home sales as a percentage of home sales revenues decreased 920 basis points, to 18.6% in the three months ended December 31, 2006 from 27.8% in the comparable period of 2005. The primary factors reducing our home sales gross profit margin were the difficult market conditions discussed above, which narrowed the range between our selling prices and costs of our homes in many of our markets, causing a decline of approximately 855 basis points in home sales gross margin. We have offered a variety of incentives in many of our markets due to the current challenging sales environment. Sales incentives affect our gross profit margin by reducing the selling price of the home, or by increasing the cost of the home without a proportional increase in the selling price. As a result of the challenging market conditions experienced in the latter half of fiscal 2006 and compounded by the high cancellation rate, we were left with more unsold homes than desired at September 30, 2006. In order to reduce our inventory of unsold homes, we offered greater discounts and incentives to sell these homes. This strategy helped reduce our unsold homes in inventory by approximately 2,000 units, but also contributed to a decline in our home sales gross profit. Additionally, approximately 50 basis points of the home sales gross margin decline was the result of an increase in the amortization of capitalized interest and property taxes.
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” land inventory and related communities under development are reviewed for potential write-downs when impairment indicators are present. SFAS No. 144 requires that in the event the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. These estimates of cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs, and other factors. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ from such estimates. For those assets deemed to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams.
     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, valuation adjustments are recorded on finished homes when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values are greater than the fair value less costs to sell these homes.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, several communities under development that demonstrated potential impairment indicators, with a combined carrying value of $821.3 million at December 31, 2006, were evaluated for potential impairment. Our analyses of these projects generally assumed flat to reduced revenues as compared with

-29-


Table of Contents

current sales orders for the particular project or revenues realized from comparable projects. As discussed above, on certain projects we utilized a pricing strategy to reduce unsold inventory. If this strategy has been successful and our unsold inventory returned or is returning to targeted levels, then revenues may have been projected to increase for the project. We determined that projects with a carrying value of $168.0 million, the majority of which were in Colorado and a slightly lesser amount in California, were impaired. Consequently, we recorded impairment charges of $40.9 million to reduce the carrying value of the impaired projects to their estimated fair value. Of the remaining $653.3 million of such projects with impairment indicators, 61% are in California and 22% are in Colorado. It is possible that our estimate of undiscounted cash flows from these projects may change and could result in a future need to record impairment charges to write these assets down to fair value. Additionally, if conditions in the homebuilding industry worsen in the future, we may be required to evaluate additional projects for potential impairment which may result in additional impairment charges and such charges could be significant.
     We periodically write off earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land and lot option contracts which we no longer plan to pursue. During the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we wrote off $36.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land purchase option contracts which we determined we would not pursue. The inventory impairment charges and write-offs of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs reduced total homebuilding gross profit as a percentage of homebuilding revenues by approximately 280 basis points in the three-month period ended December 31, 2006. Should the current weak homebuilding market conditions persist and if we are unable to successfully renegotiate certain land purchase contracts, we may write off additional earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs.
  Land Sales Revenue and Gross Profit
     Land sales revenues decreased 23%, to $40.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $52.7 million for the comparable period of 2005. The gross profit percentage from land sales decreased to 18.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from 63.4% in the comparable period of the prior year. The fluctuations in revenues and gross profit percentages from land sales are a function of how we manage our inventory levels in various markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them; however, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels which we typically sell to commercial developers. When we have the opportunity or need to sell land or lots, the resulting land sales occur at unpredictable intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenues and gross profit from land sales can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from homebuilding activities decreased by $30.4 million, or 9%, to $295.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $325.7 million in the comparable period of 2005. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, SG&A expenses decreased 100 basis points, to 10.5% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, from 11.5% in the comparable period of 2005. The largest component of our homebuilding SG&A is employee compensation and related costs, which represented approximately 59% and 63% of SG&A costs in the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Those costs decreased $28.7 million, or 14%, to $175.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 from $203.8 million in the comparable period of 2005, largely due to reductions in the number of our employees to reflect our expectations of future declines in home closings and decreases in earned incentive compensation. Our homebuilding SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues can vary significantly between quarters, depending largely on the fluctuations in quarterly revenue levels. We will continually adjust our SG&A infrastructure to support our expected closings volume; however, we cannot make assurances that our actions will permit us to maintain or improve upon the current SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues. If future home closings are lower than our expectations, our future SG&A percentage may increase.
  Interest Expense
     We capitalize interest costs only to inventory under construction or development. During both three-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our inventory under construction or development exceeded our debt; therefore, we capitalized virtually all interest from homebuilding debt except for the unamortized

-30-


Table of Contents

fees related to debt we paid off prior to maturity. Interest amortized to cost of sales was 2.3% of total cost of sales in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 2.2% in the same period of 2005. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, we recorded interest expense of approximately $4.5 million related to the unamortized fees associated with the early renewal of our revolving credit facility.
     Interest incurred related to homebuilding debt increased by 6%, to $78.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $73.7 million in the comparable period of 2005. The increase resulted from an increase in our average homebuilding debt of 20% for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005. Interest incurred increased at a slower rate than our debt primarily because our debt has been more heavily weighted to our revolving credit facility in the current period. The revolving credit facility carries a lower interest rate than the weighted average interest rate of our senior and senior subordinated notes. Our ongoing efforts to replace our older higher interest rate notes with notes bearing lower interest rates also contributed to the improvement in relative interest costs.
  Other Income
     Other income, net of other expenses, associated with homebuilding activities was $1.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $4.9 million in the comparable period of 2005. The largest component of other income in both periods was interest income.
  Income Before Income Taxes
     Income before income taxes from homebuilding activities decreased 69%, to $149.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, income before income taxes decreased 1,160 basis points, to 5.3% in the current three-month period, from the comparable period of 2005. The decrease in income before income taxes as a percentage of revenues is due to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of homebuilding revenues, as previously described.
  Homebuilding Results by Reporting Region
     Northeast Region — Homebuilding revenues remained relatively flat, decreasing only 1% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, primarily due to a 4% decrease in the number of homes closed, as well as a slight decrease in the average selling price of those homes. Income before income taxes for the region decreased 25% in the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005, and income before income taxes as a percentage of the region’s revenues (operating margin) decreased 190 basis points to 6.1% from 8.0%. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to a decrease in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage (home sales gross profit percentage excluding impairments and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs) of 150 basis points, with the gross margin declines in our New Jersey and South Carolina markets having the greatest impact on the overall decrease. In addition, the recording of inventory impairment charges and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $5.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, versus $0.5 million in the same period of 2005, contributed 130 basis points to the decline in the region’s gross margin. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in land/lot sales, which improved the region’s gross margin by 130 basis points.
     Southeast Region — Homebuilding revenues decreased 6% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, primarily due to a 5% decrease in the number of homes closed, as well as a slight decrease in the average selling price of those homes. Income before income taxes for the region decreased 64% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, and operating margin decreased 1,230 basis points to 7.5% from 19.8%. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to a decrease of 940 basis points in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage, with the gross margin declines in our Florida markets having the greatest impact on the overall decrease. In addition, the recording of earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $6.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, versus $0.2 million in the same period of 2005, contributed 160 basis points to the decline in the region’s gross margin.

     South Central Region — Homebuilding revenues increased 13% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, primarily due to an 8% increase in the number of homes closed, as well as a 5% increase in the average selling price of those homes. Largely due to the increase in revenues, income before income taxes for the region was 21% higher in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. Operating margin increased 40 basis points to 7.2% from 6.8%, primarily due to a decrease in the region’s selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues, which contributed 220 basis points to the region’s operating margin. Partially offsetting this impact was a decrease of 100 basis points in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage. Also, the recording of earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $2.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, while there were no such write-offs in the same period of 2005, caused an additional 60 basis points decline in the region’s gross margin.
     Southwest Region — Homebuilding revenues increased 5% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, due to a 13% increase in the number of homes closed, partially offset by an 8% decrease in the average selling price of those homes. Income before income taxes for the region decreased 88% to $13.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $110.4 million in the comparable period of 2005, and operating margin decreased 1,710 basis points to 2.2% from 19.3%. The decrease in operating margin was due to a decrease of 1,140 basis points in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage, with the gross margin declines in our Denver and Phoenix markets having the greatest impact on the overall decrease. In addition, the recording of inventory impairment charges and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $30.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, versus $0.9 million in the same period of 2005, contributed 500 basis points to the decline in the region’s gross margin.
     California Region — Homebuilding revenues decreased 4% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, due to a 7% decrease in the average selling price of homes closed, partially offset by a 3% increase in the number of homes closed. Income before income taxes for the region was 82% lower in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, and operating margin decreased 1,380 basis points to 3.2% from 17.0%. The decrease in operating margin was due to a decrease of 1,080 basis points in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage, with gross margin declines in the majority of our California markets. In addition, the recording of inventory impairment charges and earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $23.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, versus $2.0 million in the same period of 2005, contributed 310 basis points to the decline in the region’s gross margin.
     West Region — Homebuilding revenues decreased 19% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, due to a 7% decrease in the number of homes closed, as well as a 2% decrease in the average selling price of those homes. Also contributing to the decrease in homebuilding revenues was a decrease in land/lot sales during the period as compared to the prior year period. Income before income taxes for the region was 73% lower in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005, and operating margin decreased 2,070 basis points to 10.4% from 31.1%. The decrease in operating margin was due to a decrease of 880 basis points in the gross margin on land/lot sales, as well as a decrease of 870 basis points in the region’s core home sales gross profit percentage, primarily attributable to lower gross margins in the Las Vegas market. In addition, the recording of earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs of $9.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, versus $0.1 million in the same period of 2005, contributed 320 basis points to the decline in the region’s gross margin.

  Mortgage Loan Activity
     The volume of loans originated and brokered by our mortgage operations is directly related to the number and value of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. Total first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased 12% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005. The increase in loans originated or brokered was greater than our 3% increase in the number of homes closed because our mortgage capture rate (the percentage of total home closings by our homebuilding operations for which DHI Mortgage handled the homebuyers’ financing) increased to 70% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from 64% in the comparable prior year period.

-33-


Table of Contents

     Home closings from our homebuilding operations constituted 94% of DHI Mortgage loan originations in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 93% in the comparable period of 2005, reflecting DHI Mortgage’s continued focus on supporting the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations.
     The number of loans sold to third-party investors increased 8% in the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005, although loan sales in the 2005 period included the effect of the sales of an unusually high volume of mortgage loans held at September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of mortgage loans originated as compared to the prior year period.
  Financial Services Revenues and Expenses
     Revenues from the financial services segment increased 8%, to $66.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005. The increase in financial services revenues was primarily due to the increase in the number of mortgage loans originated and sold, partially offset by a decrease in the average closing fees earned per loan, resulting from less favorable market conditions. The majority of the revenues associated with our mortgage operations are recognized when the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors.
     General and administrative (G&A) expenses associated with financial services decreased 5%, to $45.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005. The largest component of our financial services G&A expenses is employee compensation and related costs, which represented approximately 77% of G&A costs in both periods. Those costs decreased 6%, to $34.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $36.7 million in the comparable period of 2005. As a percentage of financial services revenues, G&A expenses in the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 decreased 950 basis points, to 67.7%, from the comparable period of 2005, when our financial services infrastructure was being strengthened to support our then-planned growth in the homebuilding business. The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of financial services revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005 reflects the adjustments made to the financial services infrastructure based on our reduced expectations of the growth in home closings and the related mortgage loan originations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONSOLIDATED
  Income Before Income Taxes
     Income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 decreased 65% from the comparable period of 2005, to $176.9 million. As a percentage of revenues, income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was 6.2%, a decrease of 1,100 basis points from the comparable period of 2005. The primary factor contributing to these changes was the homebuilding segment’s pre-tax operating margin, which decreased 1,160 basis points in the three months ended December 31, 2006, from the comparable period of 2005.
  Provision for Income Taxes
     The consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 decreased 65% from the comparable period of 2005, to $67.2 million, due to the corresponding decrease in income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 38.0% in both periods.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
     We fund our homebuilding and financial services operations with cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities. As we utilize our capital resources and liquidity to fund our operations, we have focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet.
     At December 31, 2006, our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital was 41.2%, increasing from 40.7% at September 30, 2006, but decreasing from 42.3% at December 31, 2005. Net homebuilding debt to total capital consists of homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by total capital net of cash (homebuilding notes payable net of cash plus stockholders’ equity). Homebuilding notes payable does not include the balance of liabilities, if any,

-34-


Table of Contents

associated with consolidated land inventory not owned. The increase in our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital at December 31, 2006 as compared with the ratio at September 30, 2006 was due to the decrease in cash, partially offset by the decrease in borrowings and the increase in retained earnings. Our target operating range for net homebuilding debt to total capital is below 45%, so the 41.2% at December 31, 2006 is in line with our operating target. We remain focused on maintaining our liquidity and strengthening our balance sheet so we can be flexible in reacting to market conditions.
     We believe that the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing us with other homebuilders. We exclude the debt of our financial services business because it is separately capitalized and its debt is substantially collateralized and not guaranteed by our parent company or any of our homebuilding entities. Because of its capital function, we include homebuilding cash as a reduction of our homebuilding debt and total capital. For comparison, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and at September 30, 2006, our ratios of homebuilding debt to total capital, without netting cash balances, were 41.6%, 43.4%, and 43.1%, respectively.
     We believe that we will be able to continue to fund our homebuilding and financial services operations and our future cash needs (including debt maturities) through a combination of our existing cash resources, cash flows from operations, our existing or renewed credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities through the public capital markets.
  Homebuilding Capital Resources
     Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2006, our available homebuilding cash and cash equivalents amounted to $65.5 million.
     Bank Credit Facility — During November 2006, we increased the size of our $2.15 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion letter of credit sub-facility, to $2.5 billion and extended its maturity by one year to December 16, 2011. The revolving credit facility has an uncommitted $400 million accordion provision which could be used to increase the facility to $2.9 billion. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our financial services subsidiaries. We borrow funds through the revolving credit facility throughout the year to fund working capital requirements, and we repay such borrowings with cash generated from our operations and from the issuance of public debt securities.
     We had $550.0 million in cash borrowings outstanding on our homebuilding revolving credit facility at December 31, 2006, and $800.0 million in cash borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2006. Under the debt covenants associated with our revolving credit facility, when we have fewer than two investment grade senior unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor’s Corporation, our additional homebuilding borrowing capacity under the facility is limited to the lesser of the unused portion of the facility, $1.8 billion at December 31, 2006, or an amount determined under a borrowing base arrangement. Under the borrowing base limitation, the sum of our senior debt and the amount drawn on our revolving credit facility may not exceed certain percentages of the various categories of our unencumbered inventory. We currently hold investment grade ratings from all three rating agencies, so the borrowing base limitation is not currently in effect.
     Our revolving credit facility also imposes restrictions on our operations and activities, including limits on investments, cash dividends, stock repurchases and incurrence of indebtedness, and required maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum ratio of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and extraordinary noncash gains and losses to interest incurred and minimum levels of tangible net worth. At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions that form a part of our bank revolving credit facility and our public debt obligations.
     Shelf Registration Statements – We have an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June 2006, registering debt and equity securities which we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. Also, at December 31, 2006, we had the capacity to issue approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock under our acquisition shelf registration statement, to effect, in whole or in part, possible future business acquisitions.

  Financial Services Capital Resources
     Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2006, we had available financial services cash and cash equivalents of $74.3 million.
     Mortgage Warehouse Loan Facility – Our wholly-owned mortgage company has a $540 million mortgage warehouse loan facility that matures April 6, 2007. Under the accordion provision of the credit agreement, the total capacity may be increased to $750 million upon consent of the lenders. At December 31, 2006, we had borrowings of $254.0 million outstanding under the mortgage warehouse facility.
     Our borrowing capacity under this facility is limited to the lesser of the unused portion of the facility or an amount determined under a borrowing base arrangement. Under the borrowing base limitation, the amount drawn on our mortgage warehouse facility may not exceed 98% of all eligible mortgage loans held for sale and made available to the lenders to secure any borrowings under the facility.
     Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – Our wholly-owned mortgage company also has an $800 million commercial paper conduit facility (the “CP conduit facility”) that matures June 27, 2009, subject to the annual renewal of the 364-day backup liquidity feature. This credit facility, which previously had a capacity of $1.2 billion, was amended in December 2006 to reduce the capacity to $800 million, adjusting its size to seasonal volume levels. At December 31, 2006, we had borrowings of $250.0 million outstanding under the CP conduit facility.
     We currently expect to renew the mortgage warehouse loan facility upon its maturity in April 2007. In the past, we have been able to renew or extend the mortgage warehouse loan facility and the CP conduit facility on satisfactory terms prior to their maturities and obtain temporary additional commitments through amendments of the respective credit agreements during periods of higher than normal volumes of mortgages held for sale. Although we do not anticipate any problems in renewing or extending these facilities or obtaining temporary additional commitments in the future, the liquidity of our financial services business depends upon our continued ability to do so.
     The mortgage warehouse loan facility and the CP conduit facility are not guaranteed by either D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee our homebuilding debt. Borrowings under both facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale. Additionally, at September 30, 2006, borrowings under the CP conduit facility were secured by restricted cash arising from borrowings under the facility prior to the assignment of mortgage loans held for sale as collateral. At December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under the facility prior to the assignment of mortgage loans held for sale, and therefore, no cash was restricted under this facility. The mortgage loans assigned to secure the CP conduit facility are used as collateral for asset-backed commercial paper issued by multi-seller conduits in the commercial paper market. At December 31, 2006, our mortgage loans held for sale totaled $652.2 million. All mortgage company activities are financed with the mortgage warehouse facility, the CP conduit facility or internally generated funds. Both of our financial services credit facilities contain financial covenants as to our mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required net income. At December 31, 2006, our mortgage subsidiary was in compliance with all of these covenants.
  Operating Cash Flow Activities
     For the three months ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by our operating activities was $295.5 million, as compared to $1.0 billion of cash used in such activities during the comparable period of the prior year. The net cash provided by operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was primarily the result of cash provided from net income and decreases in mortgage loans held for sale and home inventories, offset by cash used to increase residential land and lot inventories and decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities.
     The principal reason for the increase in operating cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was our decision to fund only $59.1 million of inventory growth in the period, compared to a $1.6 billion cash investment for inventory growth in the same period of 2005. In light of the challenging market conditions encountered in the last six months of fiscal 2006 and continuing into fiscal 2007, we have substantially slowed our purchases of land and lots and restricted the number of homes under construction to reduce our inventory to better match our current rate of home sales. We do continue to invest in the development of land that we own in order to

-36-


Table of Contents

provide lots for our expected future home sales and closings. Our ability to reduce our inventory levels in the near term is, however, partially dependent upon our ability to sell and close a sufficient number of homes in the next few quarters. To the extent our inventory levels decrease during the remainder of fiscal 2007, we expect continued net positive cash flows from operating activities, assuming all other factors remain constant.
     A large portion of our cash invested in inventories represents purchases of land and lots that will be used to generate revenues and cash flows in future years. Since we control the amounts and timing of our investments in land and lots based on our inventory growth goals and our market opportunities, we believe that cash flows from operating activities before increases in residential land and lot inventories is currently a better indicator of our liquidity.
     Another significant factor affecting our operating cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was the decrease in mortgage loans held for sale of $370.7 million during the period. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale was due to a decrease in the number of loans originated during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. We expect to continue to use cash to fund an increase in mortgage loans held for sale in quarters when our homebuilding closings grow. However, in periods when home closings are flat or decline as compared to prior periods, or if our mortgage capture rate declines, the amounts of net cash used may be reduced or we may generate positive cash flows from reductions in the balances of mortgage loans held for sale.
  Investing Cash Flow Activities
     For the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, cash used in investing activities represented net purchases of property and equipment, primarily model home furniture and office equipment. Such purchases are not significant relative to our total assets or cash flows and typically do not vary significantly from period to period.
  Financing Cash Flow Activities
     The majority of our short-term financing needs are funded with cash generated from operations and borrowings available under our homebuilding and financial services credit facilities. Long-term financing needs are generally funded with the issuance of new senior unsecured debt securities through the public capital markets. Our homebuilding senior and senior subordinated notes and borrowings under our homebuilding revolving credit facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our financial services subsidiaries.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, which was paid on November 1, 2006 to stockholders of record on October 23, 2006. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share was declared during the three months ended December 31, 2005.
     In January 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, payable on February 9, 2007 to stockholders of record on January 26, 2007. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share was declared in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2006.
  Changes in Capital Structure
     In November 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $463.2 million of the Company’s common stock and the repurchase of debt securities of up to $500 million. These authorizations replaced the previous common stock and debt securities repurchase authorizations of $500 million, the remaining amount of which was $463.2 million, and $200 million, respectively. Additionally, both authorizations were extended to November 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the full amount of both authorizations remained available for repurchases.
OTHER COMMITMENTS
     In the normal course of business, we provide standby letters of credit and surety bonds, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts. At December 31, 2006, outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds, the majority of which mature in less than one year, were $122.5 million and $2.3 billion, respectively.

     In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option purchase contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. At December 31, 2006, we owned or controlled approximately 297,000 lots, 37% of which were lots under option or similar contracts, compared with approximately 323,000 lots at September 30, 2006.
     At December 31, 2006, we controlled approximately 111,000 lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $3.2 billion under land and lot option purchase contracts, with a total of $189.1 million in deposits. Our lots controlled include approximately 23,000 optioned lots with a remaining purchase price of approximately $772 million for which we do not expect to exercise our option to purchase the land or lots, but the contract has not yet been terminated. Combined with write-offs in prior periods, we have written off a total of $38.8 million in earnest money deposits related to these 23,000 lots, resulting in a net deposit balance of $150.3 million at December 31, 2006.
     Within the land and lot option purchase contracts in force at December 31, 2006, there were a limited number of contracts, representing only $40.4 million of remaining purchase price, subject to specific performance clauses which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their obligations. Pursuant to the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51” as amended (FIN 46), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), we consolidated certain variable interest entities with assets of $104.6 million related to some of our outstanding land and lot option purchase contracts.
     At December 31, 2006, we had a total of approximately 25,800 homes in inventory, including approximately 2,000 model homes and approximately 785 unsold homes that had been completed for more than six months. At September 30, 2006, we had a total of approximately 28,500 homes in inventory, including approximately 1,900 model homes and approximately 440 unsold homes that had been completed for more than six months. Of our total homes in inventory, 48% and 50% were unsold at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Of our unsold homes in inventory, approximately 5,000 were completed at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, the consolidation of variable interest entities, warranty and insurance claim costs, goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Since September 30, 2006, there have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to those critical accounting policies.

SEASONALITY
     We have typically experienced seasonal variations in our quarterly operating results and capital requirements. In prior years, we generally had more homes under construction, closed more homes and had greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. This seasonal activity increases our working capital requirements for our homebuilding operations during the third and fourth fiscal quarters and increases our funding requirements for the mortgages we originate in our financial services segment at the end of these quarters. As a result, our results of operations and financial position at the end of the first fiscal quarter are not necessarily representative of the balance of our fiscal year.
     In fiscal 2006, 57% of our consolidated revenues was attributable to operations in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. In contrast to our typical seasonal results, due to softening homebuilding market conditions during fiscal 2006, only 46% of our consolidated operating income was attributable to operations in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. This decrease was primarily due to the increased use of incentives to sell homes and inventory impairment charges and land option cost write-offs recorded during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. We expect that we will experience our typical historical seasonal patterns of revenues and operating income in fiscal 2007; however, we can make no assurances that this trend will return.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. We have mitigated our exposure to changes in interest rates on our variable rate bank debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to obtain a fixed interest rate for a portion of the variable rate borrowings. We generally do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.
     Our interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133. We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in the fair values of the swaps, and such changes must be reflected in our income statements.
     Our mortgage company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services. Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and who meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs have a duration of less than six months. Some IRLCs are committed immediately to a specific investor through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, while other IRLCs are funded prior to being committed to third-party investors. We manage interest rate risk related to uncommitted IRLCs through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (FMBS) and the purchase of Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) on certain loan types. FMBS and EDFC related to IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recognized in current earnings. FMBS and EDFC related to funded, uncommitted loans are designated as fair value hedges, with changes in the value of the derivative instruments recognized in current earnings, along with changes in the value of the funded, uncommitted loans. The effectiveness of the fair value hedges is continuously monitored and any ineffectiveness, which for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At December 31, 2006, FMBS, EDFC and put options on both EDFC and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and uncommitted IRLCs totaled $1,455.2 million. Uncommitted IRLCs, the duration of which are generally less than six months, totaled approximately $179.5 million, and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled approximately $263.2 million at December 31, 2006. The fair value of the FMBS, EDFC and IRLCs at December 31, 2006 was an insignificant amount.
     In an effort to stimulate home sales by potentially offering homebuyers a below market interest rate on their home financing, we began a program during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 which protects us from future increases in interest rates related to potential mortgage originations of approximately $261 million. To accomplish this, we purchase forward rate agreements (FRAs) and economic interest rate hedges in the form of FMBS and put options on both EDFC and MBS. At December 31, 2006, the notional amount of the FRAs was $219 million, while economic interest rate hedges totaled $808 million in EDFC put options and $13 million in MBS put options, hedging a notional principal of $42 million in mortgage loan commitments. Both the FRAs and economic interest rate hedges have various maturities not exceeding twelve months. These instruments are considered non-designated derivatives and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The gains and losses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 were not significant.

     The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of December 31, 2006. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at December 31, 2006. In addition, the table sets forth the notional amounts, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps. Because the mortgage warehouse credit facility and CP conduit facility are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 60 days, the outstanding balances at December 31, 2006 are included in the variable rate maturities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a $0.2 million asset.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     The Company’s management has long recognized its responsibilities for developing, implementing and monitoring effective and efficient controls and procedures. As part of those responsibilities, as of December 31, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files, furnishes, submits or otherwise provides the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, in such a manner as to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
