NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1. The consolidated financial statements, except for the October 31, 1999
consolidated balance sheets, have been prepared without audit and should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our
1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
for interim periods presented have been made, which include only normal
recurring accruals and deferrals necessary for a fair presentation of
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash
flows. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these
differences could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
which might be expected for a full year.

2. Interest costs incurred, expensed and capitalized were:

residential rental property accumulated depreciation at January 31, 2000 and

6. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., the parent company (the "Parent" or
"Company") is the issuer of publicly traded common stock. One of its wholly
owned subsidiaries, K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., (the "Subsidiary Issuer")

with an outstanding balance of $118,475,000. The subordinated notes, senior
notes and the revolving credit agreement are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by the Parent.

Each of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent (collectively the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries"), with the exception of four subsidiaries formerly
engaged in the issuance of collateralized mortgage obligations, a mortgage
lending subsidiary, a subsidiary holding and licensing the "K. Hovnanian" trade
name and a subsidiary engaged in homebuilding activity in Poland (collectively
the "Non-guarantor Subsidiaries"), have guaranteed fully and unconditionally, on
a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest under
the senior notes and the revolving credit agreement of the Subsidiary Issuer.

In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the
Guarantor Subsidiaries we have included the accompanying consolidated condensed
financial statements based on our understanding of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's interpretation and application of Rule 3-10 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Regulations S-X and Staff Accounting Bulletin 53.
Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries are material to investors. Therefore, separate financial statement
and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

The following consolidating condensed financial information present the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (i) the Parent (ii)
the Subsidiary Issuer (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Parent (iv) the
Non-guarantor Subsidiaries of the Parent and (v) the eliminations to arrive at
the information for Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. on a consolidated basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our cash uses during the three months ended January 31, 2000 were for
operating expenses, seasonal increases in housing inventories, construction,
income taxes, interest, and the repurchase of common stock. We provided for our
cash requirements from the revolving credit facility, housing and land sales,
financial service fees, and other revenues. We believe that these sources of
cash are sufficient to finance our working capital requirements and other needs.

In December 1998 the Board of Directors increased the stock repurchase
program to purchase up to 3 million shares of Class A Common Stock. This
authorization expires on December 31, 2000. As of January 31, 2000, 2,564,400
shares were repurchased under this program of which 200,000 were purchased
during the three months ended January 31, 2000.

Our bank borrowings are made pursuant to a revolving credit agreement (the
"Agreement") that provides a revolving credit line of up to $375,000,000 (the
"Revolving Credit Facility") through July 2003. Interest is payable monthly and
at various rates of either the prime rate plus .25% or Libor plus 1.70%. We
believe that we will be able either to extend the Agreement beyond July 2003 or
negotiate a replacement facility, but there can be no assurance of such
extension or replacement facility. We are currently in compliance and intend to
maintain compliance with its covenants under the Agreement. As of January 31,
2000, borrowings under the Agreement were $118,475,000.

The subordinated indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of January
31, 2000 was $100,000,000 9 3/4% Subordinated Notes due June 2005. The senior
indebtedness issued by us and outstanding as of January 31, 2000 was
$150,000,000 9 1/8% Senior Notes due May 2009.

Our mortgage banking subsidiary borrows under a bank warehousing
arrangement. Other finance subsidiaries formerly borrowed from a multi-builder
owned financial corporation and a builder owned financial corporation to finance
mortgage backed securities, but in fiscal 1988 decided to cease further
borrowing from multi-builder and builder owned financial corporations. These
non-recourse borrowings have been generally secured by mortgage loans originated
by one of our subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2000, the aggregate principal
amount of all such borrowings was $20,936,000.

Total inventory increased $34,166,000 during the three months ended January
31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to significant anticipated openings of
a number of communities in the Northeast Region and California and our expansion
in the Maryland market. Substantially all homes under construction or completed
and included in inventory at January 31, 2000 are expected to be closed during
the next twelve months. Most inventory completed or under development is
financed through our line of credit and subordinated indebtedness.

(2) Of the total home lots available, 675 and 599 were under construction or
complete (including 93 and 76 models and sales offices), 6,535 and 7,057
were under option, and 444 and 216 were financed through purchase money
mortgages at January 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999, respectively.

In addition, at January 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999, respectively, in
substantially completed or suspended communities, we owned or had under option
90 and 94 home lots. We also control a supply of land primarily through options
for future development. This land is consistent with anticipated home building
requirements in its housing markets. At January 31, 2000 we controlled such
land to build 17,044 proposed homes, compared to 13,573 homes at October 31,
1999.

Financial Services - Mortgage loans held for sale consist of residential
mortgages receivable of which $22,051,000 and $32,844,000 at January 31, 2000
and October 31, 1999, respectively, are being temporarily warehoused and
awaiting sale in the secondary mortgage market. The balance of such mortgages
is being held as an investment by us. We may incur risk with respect to
mortgages that are delinquent, but only to the extent the losses are not covered
by mortgage insurance or resale value of the house. Historically, we have
incurred minimal credit losses. Collateral Mortgage Financing - Collateral for
bonds payable consist of collateralized mortgages receivable which are pledged
against non-recourse collateralized mortgage obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999

Our operations consist primarily of residential housing development and
sales in our Northeast Region (comprising of New Jersey, southern New York State
and eastern Pennsylvania), North Carolina, southeastern Florida, Metro D.C.
(northern Virginia and Maryland), southern California, Texas and Poland. Our
Texas operations are the result of the acquisition of a Texas homebuilder on
October 1, 1999. In addition, we provide financial services to our homebuilding
customers as well as third parties.

Important indicators of the future results are recently signed contracts
and home contract backlog for future deliveries. Our sales contracts and homes
in contract backlog (using base sales prices) by market area is set forth below:

homes and $37,196,000 total contract backlog and 116 homes from a New Jersey
homebuilder acquired on August 7, 1999.


Total Revenues:

Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2000 increased $54.0
million or 26.6%, compared to the same period last year. This was the result of
a $55.2 million increase in revenues from the sale of homes. This increase was
partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in land sales and other homebuilding
revenues, and a $0.8 million decrease in financial services.


Homebuilding:

Revenues from the sale of homes increased $55.2 million or 28.3% during the
three months ended January 31, 2000, compared to the same period last year.
Revenues from sales of homes are recorded at the time each home is delivered and
title and possession have been transferred to the buyer.

Information on homes delivered by market area is set forth below:

(1) Three months ended January 31, 2000 includes $18,140,000 housing revenues
and 50 homes from a New Jersey homebuilder acquired on August 7, 1999.

The increase in the number of homes delivered compared to the prior year
was primarily due to the acquisition of two homebuilding companies, one in
New Jersey and one in Texas during the fourth quarter ended October 31, 1999.
The increase in housing revenues was primarily due to increased home
deliveries in Texas and Metro D. C. slightly offset by decreases in the
Northeast Region, North Carolina, Florida, and California. Average home prices
increased slightly to $240,267 in 2000 compared to $233,117 in 1999,
primarily resulting from increased sales prices and selling more options.

Cost of sales includes expenses for housing and land and lot sales. A
breakout of such expenses for housing sales and housing gross margin is set
forth below:

Total Cost of Sales.......... 81.8% 79.1%

Gross Margin................. 18.2% 20.9%
======== ========

We sell a variety of home types in various local communities, each yielding
a different gross margin. As a result, depending on the mix of both communities
and of home types delivered, consolidated quarterly gross margin will fluctuate
up or down and may not be representative of the consolidated gross margin for
the year. For the three months ended January 31, 2000 our gross margin
percentage decreased 2.7% compared to the same period last year. This can be
attributed to a less rich community mix from the Northeast Region and more
deliveries in our new Texas market where they report lower margins.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total
homebuilding revenues, increased to 9.9% for the three months ended January 31,
2000 from 8.9% for the prior year three months. Such expenses increased during
the three months ended January 31, 2000 $7.6 million compared to the same period
last year. The overall percentage and dollar increases in selling, general and
administrative is due to increased deliveries, community openings, and increases
in administrative costs primarily in our Northeast Region and California, and
the addition of Texas.


Land Sales and Other Revenues:

Land sales and other revenues consist primarily of land and lot sales. A
breakout of land and lot sales is set forth below:

Three Months Ended
January 31,
------------------
2000 1999
-------- --------

Land and Lot Sales................ $ 934 $ 1,327
Cost of Sales..................... 793 1,338

Land and Lot Sales Gross Margin... 141 (11)
Interest Expense.................. 191 133
-------- --------
Land and Lot Sales Profit Before
Tax............................. $ (50) $ (144)
======== ========

Land and lot sales are incidental to our residential housing operations and
are expected to continue in the future but may significantly fluctuate up or
down.


Financial Services

Financial services consist primarily of originating mortgages from our
homebuyers, as well as from third parties, selling such mortgages in the
secondary market and title insurance activities. For the three months ended
January 31, 2000 financial services recorded a $0.5 million loss before income
taxes compared to a profit of $0.4 million in 1999. Our mortgage banking goals
are to improve profitability by increasing the capture rate of our homebuyers
and expanding our business to include originations from unrelated third parties.
Collateralized Mortgage Financing

In the years prior to February 29, 1988 we pledged mortgage loans
originated by its mortgage banking subsidiaries against our collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMO's"). Subsequently we discontinued our CMO program.
As a result, CMO operations are diminishing as pledged loans are decreasing
through principal amortization and loan payoffs, and related bonds are reduced.
In recent years, as a result of bonds becoming callable, we have also sold a
portion of our CMO pledged mortgages.


Corporate General and Administrative

Corporate general and administrative expenses includes the operations at
our headquarters in Red Bank, New Jersey. Such expenses include our executive
offices, information services, human resources, corporate accounting, training,
treasury, process redesign, internal audit, and administration of insurance,
quality, and safety. As a percentage of total revenues such expenses decreased
to 2.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2000 from 3.2% for the prior year
three months due to increased housing revenues. Corporate general and
administrative expenses slightly increased $0.4 million during the three months
ended January 31, 2000 compared to the same period last year. Increases in
Corporate general and administrative expenses are primarily attributed to
increased process redesign costs associated with the design and development of
streamlined business processes associated with the implementation of SAP, our
new enterprise wide fully integrated software package and increased depreciation
of capitalized process redesign costs in prior years.


Interest

Interest expense includes housing, and land and lot interest. Interest
expense is broken down as follows:

Three Months Ended
January 31,
------------------
2000 1999
-------- --------

Sale of Homes.............. $ 7,677 $ 6,909
Land and Lot Sales......... 191 133
-------- --------
Total...................... $ 7,868 $ 7,042
======== ========

Housing interest as a percentage of sale of homes revenues amounted to 3.1%
for the three months ended January 31, 2000 which is slightly less than the 3.6%
for the three months ended January 31, 1999.


Other Operations

Other operations consist primarily of miscellaneous residential housing
operations expenses, investment property operations, amortization of senior and
subordinated note issuance expenses, earnout payments from homebuilding company
acquisitions and corporate owned life insurance loan interest.


Total Taxes

Total taxes as a percentage of income before taxes amounted to
approximately 27.7% and 39.8% for the three months ended January 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The decrease in this percentage from 1999 to 2000 is
primarily attributed to lower state income taxes and senior rental tax credits.
Although the credits are the same in 1999 and 2000, they reduce our effective
tax rate more significantly when pretax profits decline. Deferred federal and
state income tax assets primarily represent the deferred tax benefits arising
from temporary differences between book and tax income which will be recognized
in future years as an offset against future taxable income. If for some reason
the combination of future years income (or loss) combined with the reversal of
the timing differences results in a loss, such losses can be carried back to
prior years to recover the deferred tax assets. As a result, management is
confident such deferred tax assets are recoverable regardless of future income.


Year 2000

We completed all Year 2000 readiness work and experienced no problems with
regard to this matter.


Inflation

Inflation has a long-term effect on us because increasing costs of land,
materials and labor result in increasing sale prices of its homes. In general,
these price increases have been commensurate with the general rate of inflation
in our housing markets and have not had a significant adverse effect on the sale
of our homes. A significant risk faced by the housing industry generally is
that rising house costs, including land and interest costs, will substantially
outpace increases in the income of potential purchasers. In recent years, in
the price ranges in which our homes sell, we have not found this risk to be a
significant problem.

Inflation has a lesser short-term effect on us because we generally
negotiates fixed price contracts with its subcontractors and material suppliers
for the construction of its homes. These prices usually are applicable for a
specified number of residential buildings or for a time period of between four
to twelve months. Construction costs for residential buildings represent
approximately 57% of our total costs and expenses.
