D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2004

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 and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We have also consolidated certain variable interest entities from which we are purchasing lots under option purchase contracts, under the requirements of Interpretation No. 46 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2004.

Business - The Company is a national builder that is engaged primarily in the construction and sale of single-family housing in 51 markets and 21 states in the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family houses on lots developed by the Company and on finished lots which it purchases, ready for home construction. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots it has developed or bought. The Company also provides title agency and mortgage brokerage services to its home buyers. The Company does not retain or service the mortgages that it originates but, rather, sells the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors.

Stock Split — In December 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split (effected as a 50% stock dividend), paid on January 12, 2004 to common stockholders of record on December 22, 2003. The earnings per share amounts for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2003 have been restated to reflect the effects of the stock split.

NOTE B — SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable business segments consist of homebuilding and financial services. The Company’s homebuilding operations comprise the most substantial part of its business, with approximately 98% of consolidated revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and approximately 94% and 90% of consolidated income before income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The homebuilding reporting segment is comprised of the aggregate of the Company’s regional homebuilding operating segments and generates most of its revenues from the sale of completed homes, with a lesser amount from the sale of land and lots. Approximately 84% and 92% of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of detached homes for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The financial services segment generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

NOTE C — CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” as amended by FIN 46-R issued in December 2003 (collectively referred to as “FIN 46”), which provides guidance for the financial accounting and reporting of interests in certain variable interest entities. FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain business entities that either have equity investors with no voting rights or have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entities to support their activities. FIN 46 requires consolidation of such entities by any company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the entities’ activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entities’ residual returns or both. The Company fully adopted the provisions of FIN 46 for all variable interest entities as of September 30, 2003.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts in order 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 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 Company’s option deposits are non-refundable.

D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
June 30, 2004

Certain non-refundable deposits are deemed to create a variable interest in a variable interest entity under the requirements of FIN 46. As such, certain of the Company’s option purchase contracts result in the acquisition of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option.

The Company has evaluated all of its interests in variable interest entities at June 30, 2004 and has consolidated certain variable interest entities from which the Company is purchasing land or lots under option contracts. The land sellers are not required to provide the Company the financial information of the variable interest entities. Therefore, when the Company’s requests for financial information are denied by the land sellers, certain assumptions about the assets and liabilities of such entities are required. In most cases, the fair value of the assets of the consolidated entities have been assumed to be the contractual purchase price of the land or lots the Company is purchasing. In these cases, the only asset recorded is the land or lots the Company has the option to buy with a related offset to minority interest for the assumed third party investment in the variable interest entity. The consolidation of these entities added $54.9 million in land inventory not owned and minority interests to the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2004. The Company’s obligations related to these land or lot option contracts are guaranteed by cash deposits totaling $8.0 million and promissory notes totaling $0.2 million. Creditors, if any, of these variable interest entities have no recourse against the Company.

Including the deposits with the variable interest entities above, the Company has deposits amounting to $194.6 million to purchase land and lots with a total purchase price of $3.9 billion at June 30, 2004. 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 limited to the funded amounts of the Company’s option deposits, which totaled $174.6 million at June 30, 2004.

NOTE D — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding.

The following table sets forth the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

Homebuilding:

In March 2004, the Company restructured and amended its existing unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing it to $1 billion and extending its maturity to March 25, 2008. The new facility includes a $350 million letter of credit sub-facility and an uncommitted $250 million accordion feature that permitted an increase in the facility. In June 2004, the Company exercised the accordion feature and obtained $210 million in additional commitments from its lenders that increased the facility to $1.21 billion. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries other than its financial services subsidiaries. Borrowings bear daily interest at rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread based upon the Company’s ratio of debt to tangible net worth and our senior unsecured debt rating. The interest rate applicable to the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2004 was 2.7%. In addition to the stated interest rates, the revolving credit facility requires the Company to pay certain fees.

In July 2004, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes. The notes, which are due January 15, 2014, with interest payable semi-annually, represent unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company may redeem up to 35% of the amount originally issued with the proceeds of public offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the principal amount through July 15, 2007, plus accrued interest. The Company used the net proceeds from these notes to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The annual effective interest rate of the notes, after giving effect to the amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, is 6.3%.

In January 2004, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of 5% Senior Notes. The notes, which are due January 15, 2009, with interest payable semi-annually, represent unsecured obligations of the Company. The

Company may redeem up to 35% of the amount originally issued with the proceeds of public offerings at a redemption price equal to 105% of the principal amount through January 15, 2007, plus accrued interest. On June 15, 2004, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 5% Senior Notes to repay at maturity the $150 million principal amount of its 8?% Senior Notes. The annual effective interest rate of the 5% Senior Notes, after giving effect to the amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, is 5.3%.

The bank credit facilities and the indentures for the Senior and Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants which, taken together, limit investments in inventory, stock repurchases, cash dividends and other restricted payments, incurrence of indebtedness, asset dispositions and creation of liens, and require certain levels of tangible net worth. At June 30, 2004, under the most restrictive covenants, the additional debt the Company could incur would be limited to $2,254.4 million, which included $680.2 million available under the revolving credit facility. At that date, under the most restrictive covenants, $643.0 million was available for restricted payments.

Financial Services:

In April 2004, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary restructured and amended its mortgage warehouse loan facility payable to financial institutions, increasing it to $300 million and extending its maturity to April 8, 2005, at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a fixed premium. 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 the Senior and Senior Subordinated Notes. The interest rate of the mortgage warehouse facility at June 30, 2004 was 2.2%.

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary also has a $300 million commercial paper conduit facility (the “CP conduit facility”), that expires on June 29, 2006. The CP conduit facility’s terms are renewable annually by the sponsoring banks. 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 the Senior and Senior Subordinated Notes. The mortgage loans pledged 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 facility at June 30, 2004 was 2.0%.
