THE ROTTLUND COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. General

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by ~~the~~The Rottlund Company, Inc. ("Company") without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's annual report for the year ended March 31, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. For further information refer to our audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000.

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, significant variability in quarterly net sales and net income. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ending ~~September~~December 3031, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2001.

Note 2. Revolving ~~Note~~Credit ~~Payable to Bank~~Facility

As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2000, the Company had a ~~line-of-~~revolving credit arrangement with a bank totaling $50,000,000, with interest at the bank's prime rate ~~plus .25%~~ (9.7550% at ~~September~~December 3031, 2000). Borrowings outstanding at ~~September~~December 3031, 2000 were $3530,~~125~~225,000 under this arrangement. In addition, letters of credit totaling approximately $1,~~777~~950,000 were outstanding under this arrangement at ~~September~~December 3031, 2000. On December 19, 2000, the Company and its lenders entered into an agreement basically extending the terms of the existing loan agreement through December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance of or had received a waiver for all covenants of the revolving credit agreement.

Note 3. Sale/leaseback of Model Homes

On July 14, 2000 the Company sold 38 model homes with a sales value of $7.9 million and leased them back under a month to month lease. Lease payments are calculated at the prime rate plus 225 to 275 basis points ~~based~~of on the sales value of homes remaining at the start of each month. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.5 million that is being ~~deferred~~recognized over eighteen months, the estimated lease period. Revenues of $6.4 million were recognized which were equal to costs of the homes sold. As the gain is is recognized, it will be treated as additional revenue and gross profit with no associated costs, thereby increasing the gross profit percentage over the deferral period. ~~$85,000~~During of the ~~gain~~nine ~~related~~and tothree ~~this~~month ~~transaction~~periods ~~was~~ending ~~recognized~~December 31, in2000, ~~the~~$411,000 ~~quarter~~and ~~ended~~$247,000, ~~September 30~~respectively, ~~2000~~of the gain was recognized.

Note 4. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, on April 1, 2001. The Company believes the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133, as amended, will have no significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

As of September 30, 2000, Rottlund had one interest rate swap agreement with notional amounts totaling approximately $15 million. Rottlund believes that its exposure to credit risk due to nonperformance by the counter-party to the hedging contract is insignificant. Rottlund entered into the

As of December 31, 2000, Rottlund had one interest rate swap agreement with notional amounts totaling approximately $15 million. Rottlund believes that its exposure to credit risk due to nonperformance by the counter-party to the hedging contract is insignificant. Rottlund entered into the swap agreement effectively converting $15 million of the revolving credit facility with a variable rate based on prime to a fixed rate of 9.96%. The swap expires on July 7, 2002.

Note 5. Reclassifications

Certain 1999 amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications did not have an effect on the Company's shareholder's equity or net income.

The Company sold land, finished lots, residential housing under construction and various models with a carrying value of approximately $4.9 million for a sales price of $4.9 million. This sale was made to a former vice president of the Company. In management's opinion, such transactions were negotiated at terms equivalent to those used in transacting business with unrelated parties.

The following table sets forth the Company's backlog as of the dates indicated:

September 30,		Number of Homes		Sales Value
2000		580		$	120,184,000
1999		712		$	125,026,000

Gross profit increased by 38.0%, to $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $9.2 million for the comparable period of 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.7% from 14.7% primarily as a result of the higher revenues in the current quarter versus the prior period. During the quarter, the Company sold and leased back model homes which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.5 million. This gain is being deferred over eighteen months with sixteen months of recognition remaining at the end of the quarter. Revenues of $6.4 million were recognized which were equal to costs of the homes sold. As the gain is recognized it will be treated as additional revenue and gross profit with no associated costs.

~~The~~At ~~Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume~~December 31, ~~asset turnover~~2000, ~~and~~the ~~land acquisition and inventory balances.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit arrangement, which expires December 31, 2003 that provides borrowings of up to $50 million, of which $5 million may be used for letters of credit. Borrowings under this agreement are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on a defined percentage of land, development costs, finished lots and the working capital of the Company. As of ~~September~~ December 3031, 2000, borrowings under the facility's line of credit totaled approximately $3530.~~125~~2 million, and approximately $1311.9 million was available for borrowings under the calculations described above. On July 7, 2000 the Company entered into an interest rate swap on $15 million of the above credit arrangement which fixes the interest rate at 9.96% for a period of two years. ~~The~~To date, the impact of this transaction on the income statement is immaterial. The Company believes ~~those~~the amounts available under its existing borrowing arrangements ~~(assuming extensions~~ and ~~renewals of debt in the ordinary course of business) and~~ amounts generated from operations will provide funds adequate for its home building activities and debt service for the foreseeable future.

As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2000 the Company is in compliance with covenants under its revolving credit facility.

The Company has generally been able to secure financing for its acquisition, development and construction activities, and management believes such arrangements will continue to be available on terms satisfactory to the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that continued financing for land acquisitions will be available or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Inflation

The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, material and labor costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates may significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective purchasers. The Company attempts to pass through to its customers any increase in its costs through increased selling prices, and to date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations.
