Note 4: Consolidation

The Company has consolidated the financial statements of the following entities:



- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ownership interest at
Entity September 30, 2002 Development
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado Pacific Homes, Inc. 100% Real estate in the state of Colorado

DMM Development, LLC ("DMM") 67% Cierra del Lago and Antares projects,
California

Parkland Farms Development Co., LLC 99% 115 lots in Healdsburg, California
("Parkland")

RGCCLPO Development Co., LLC ("RGCCLPO") 100% 382 lots in Milpitas, California

PWA Associates, LLC 100% 68-unit apartment project in Milpitas,
California
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DMM: The Company is entitled to receive two-thirds of the profits of DMM, and
the other owner, RGC Courthomes, Inc. ("RGC"), is entitled to receive the
remaining one-third of the profits.

Parkland: Pursuant to the operating agreement of Parkland, the Company is
entitled to receive ninety-nine percent of the profits of Parkland, and the
other member, an officer of the Company, is entitled to receive the remaining
one percent of the profits.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, $1,817 of the total loss of
$2,052 incurred by the entities related to the minority interest was not
allocated to the minority interest because the minority interest had a deficit
interest in those entities. The Company does not reflect the deficit for the
minority interest because the minority owners are not responsible for losses
incurred beyond their equity. The unrecognized minority interest in deficit of
the Company as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $67,682 and
$65,865, respectively. As a result, the Company has recorded minority interest
of $0 as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Note 5: Real estate under development

Impairment of real estate under development-During the third quarter of 2002,
the Company recorded an impairment loss on real estate under development of
$1,231,948 in the Saddlerock project. The project consisted of 94 homes with
five product lines in Aurora, Colorado. The lack of demand of the product lines
resulted in a slower absortion rate. The Company introduced three new product
lines and converted certain upgrades as standards to increase the absorption
rate. The introduction of the new product lines increased direct construction
cost, marketing, production overhead and interest costs and as a result the
Company recorded an impairment loss on real estate under development.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an
impairment loss on real estate under development of $1,407,520 in the High Ridge
Court project which is located in Thorton, Colorado as the absortion rate was
slower than anticipated. The decrease in absorption rate increased marketing,
production and interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an
impairment.

Investment in real estate venture-The Company has a 25 percent interest in RGC
Carmel Country, LLC, the "Joint Venture". The Joint Venture consists of 181
townhomes available for lease in San Diego. The Company's allocable share of
losses, if any, from investments in real estate ventures are recognized in the
financial statements until the related investment account is reduced to a zero
balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recongized. The cumulative amount of unrecognized equity in losses of
unconsolidated real estate ventures was $469,690 and $0 as of September 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001, respectively. Distributions received by the Company from
the real estate ventures are accounted for as a return of capital until the
investment balance is reduced to zero.

Additionally, the Company recognized management fees of $10,931 and $218,113 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, related to the
joint venture.

Note 6: Rental property

The Company developed and constructed a 68-unit affordable apartment, the Parc
West Apartment Homes located in Milpitas, California, adjacent to the Parc
Metropolitan project owned by RGCCLPO. Construction was completed in August 2002
and the 68 units were available for lease. As of September 30, 2002, the
apartment project was 50% leased.

Note 7: Segment Disclosure

The Company's reportable segments consist of two types of real estate properties
for which management internally evaluates operating performance and financial
results: residental homes for sale and residental rental property for lease. The
Company also has certain corporate level activities including accounting,
finance, and management information systems, which are not considered separate
segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon contribution to
income.

The following table provides financial information regarding revenues from
customers, loss and total assets for the Company's business segments and also
provides a reconciliation to the Company's consolidated total:

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

The following discussion relates to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Statements contained in
this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had remaining loan commitments from
financial institutions of approximately $9,191,000, which may be drawn down by
the Company upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company continues
to seek joint venture partners and additional financing to fund its operations.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had four residential housing projects in
various stages of development, with all four producing revenues from completed
homes and townhomes: Parc Metropolitan, High Ridge Court, Saddlerock, and
Montserrat Classics. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has 58 homes under
construction, of which 11 are in escrow to be sold, and 6 model units.
Additionally, the Company has an inventory of 106 lots under development. In
addition to the construction and sale of single-family and multifamily housing,
the Company is engaged in the development of apartments and townhomes available
for lease. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had an apartment project and a
townhome project available for lease (one project consists of a 25% equity
interest in a real estate venture), the total projects consist of 249 units
available for lease.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had 11 units in escrow ("backlog")
compared with a backlog of 59 units as of September 30, 2001. The gross revenues
of such backlog was $4,275,000 and $20,400,000 as of September 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Based on its agreements with its lenders, the Company believes that it will
have sufficient liquidity to finance its construction projects in 2002 through
funds generated from operations, funds available under its existing bank
commitments, funds generated from new lending institutions, and, if necessary,
funds that could be obtained by using its internally financed real estate
development in process as collateral for additional loans.

Management's plan, with respect to managing cash flow includes the
following components: pay off debt that is coming due in 2002, minimize
operating expenses, and maintain control over costs. With regard to the debt
coming due in 2002, management expects to extend the maturity dates of various
loans and pay the remaining loans off through cashflow from operations, prior to
their maturity date. With regard to minimizing operating expenses, management
plans to achieve this by continuing to closely examine overhead items.
Management anticipates that the funds generated from operations, including
borrowings from existing loan commitments, will be adequate to allow the Company
to continue operations.

Results of operations

Real estate sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased
14.8% to $21,678,306 from $18,880,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, real estate sales increased
24.1% to $86,028,975 from $69,309,686 in the year-earlier period. The increase
in real estate sales for the three and nine month periods of 2002 was primarily
due to the high volume of inventory of completed homes available for sale in
2002 compared to completed homes available for sale in 2001. In the third
quarter of 2002, the Company sold 62 homes with an average sales price of
$349,650, a 34.8% increase in the volume of home sales compared to 46 homes with
an average sales price of $410,400 for the third quarter of 2001. During the
first nine months of 2002, the Company sold 233 homes with an average sales
price of $369,223, a 22.6% increase in the volume of home sales compared to 190
homes with an average sales price of $364,800 for the nine months of 2001.

The Company had a loss from development operations before recognition of
impairment of real estate $947,806 in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to
income of $2,191,526 in the third quarter of 2001. For the


12


nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company had a loss from development
operations before recognition of impairment of real estate of $100,025 as
compared to income of $6,617,521 in the third quarter of 2001. The significant
decrease of income from development operations during the third quarter of 2002
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted from a slower absorption rate,
and increased production overhead costs. The increased sales price was not
sufficient to offset the increased direct construction cost, marketing and sales
incentives, production overhead and interest costs.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an impairment loss
on real estate under development of $1,231,948 in the Saddlerock project. The
project consisted of 94 homes with five product lines in Aurora, Colorado. The
lack of demand of the product lines resulted in a slower absortion rate. The
Company introduced three new product lines and converted certain upgrades as
standards to increase the absorption rate. The introduction of the new product
lines increased direct construction cost, marketing, production overhead and
interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an impairment loss on real
estate under development.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an
impairment loss on real estate under development of $1,407,520 in the High Ridge
Court project which is located in Thorton, Colorado as the absortion rate was
slower than anticipated. The decrease in absorption rate increased marketing,
production and interest costs and as a result the Company recorded an
impairment.

The Company developed and constructed a 68-unit affordable apartment, the
Parc West Apartment Homes located in Milpitas, California, adjacent to the Parc
Metropolitan project owned by RGCCLPO. Construction was completed in August 2002
and the 68 units were available for lease. As of September 30, 2002, the
apartment project was 50% leased. As of September 30, 2002, the apartment
project generated $43,771 of rental income and $350,358 of rental expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $775,484 in the three
months ended September 30, 2002 from $874,734 in the corresponding 2001 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative
expenses decreased to $1,851,936 from $2,304,921 in the corresponding 2001
period. The decrease is due to the focus efforts to decrease corporate overhead
costs.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company's exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what
was reported on the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls
subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.
