Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands except per share and share data)

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and other entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see Note 2). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

NVR’s Finished Lot Acquisition Strategy

The Company does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage, typically ranging from 0% to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.

This lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidating damage provision contained within the purchase agreement. NVR does not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and does not guarantee specific performance under these purchase agreements.

Adoption of FIN 46

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires the primary beneficiary of a

7

Table of Contents

NVR, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands except per share and share data)

variable interest entity to consolidate that entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46, an enterprise generally consolidated an entity when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest in the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. Upon adoption, FIN 46 applied immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. Beginning July 1, 2003, FIN 46 will apply to variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.

Subsequent to January 31, 2003 and through June 30, 2003, the Company entered into fixed price lot purchase agreements with an aggregate exercise price of approximately $411,100, by making or committing to make deposits of approximately $25,100. The Company evaluated these agreements entered into subsequent to January 31, 2003 pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of certain of the variable interest entities with which it has entered into purchase agreements. NVR estimated the current fair value of the land underlying these purchase agreements and consolidated that amount and a related liability. The liabilities represent the difference between the estimated current fair value of the land under contract and the Company’s related deposits. The effect of the consolidation at June 30, 2003 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $7,804 to Inventory Not Owned Consolidated Per FIN 46 with a corresponding inclusion of $7,375 to Liabilities Related To Inventory Not Owned Per FIN 46. NVR does not have access to the financial records of the development entities with which it enters into fixed price purchase agreements, and as a result was unable to consolidate the variable interest entities’ results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has not yet determined the effect of adopting FIN 46 for its currently unconsolidated partnership interests and fixed price purchase agreements that existed as of January 31, 2003. However, that evaluation may require that NVR consolidate assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain of its unconsolidated partnerships and consolidate the estimated fair value of the land (with the related liability) underlying certain of its fixed price purchase agreements. NVR cannot make any definitive conclusion until it completes its evaluation.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had eight active stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, NVR has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB No. 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

On June 17, 2003, the Company issued, at par, $200,000 of 5% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $199,700, after deducting offering expenses. The Notes mature on June 15, 2010 and bear interest at 5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2003. The Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of NVR’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and indebtedness under our existing credit facility. On July 14, 2003, the Company used approximately $120,700 of the proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2005 and accrued interest. The redemption will result in a third quarter pre-tax charge as follows:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires goodwill and reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) to be tested for impairment on an annual basis subsequent to the year of adoption. The Company completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2003 and determined that there was no impairment of either goodwill or excess reorganization value.

The FASB issued FIN 45, Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, in November 2002. FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee for all guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. NVR has not issued any guarantees subsequent to December 31, 2002, and accordingly, the adoption of FIN 45 had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements regarding its obligations under certain guarantees, including product warranties. The Company establishes warranty and product liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to NVR’s homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with our General Counsel and other outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve during the six months ended June 30, 2003:

In April 2003, the FASB issued FAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. NVR is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 149 on its results of operations and financial condition and cannot make any definitive conclusion until it completes its evaluation.

In May 2003, the FASB issued FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity which establishes standards regarding classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with the characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Adoption of FAS 150 will not have a material impact on NVR’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of NVR to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions (on both a national and regional level), interest rate changes, access to suitable financing, competition, the availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by NVR in its homebuilding operations, shortages of labor, weather related slow downs, building moratoria, governmental regulation, the ability of NVR to integrate any acquired business, fluctuation and volatility of stock and other financial markets and other factors over which NVR has little or no control.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) operates in two business segments: homebuilding and mortgage banking. Corporate general and administrative expenses are fully allocated to the homebuilding and mortgage banking segments in the information presented below. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to dollars in this Item 2 are in thousands.

Homebuilding Segment

NVR operates in the following geographic regions:

The following table summarizes settlements, new orders and backlog unit activity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 by region:

13

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

During the second quarter of 2003, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $828,563 compared to revenues of $769,910 in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in revenues was due primarily to a 6.5% increase in the average settlement price in 2003 compared to the average settlement price in 2002. Average prices of homes settled increased primarily due to favorable market conditions which allowed NVR to increase prices in certain markets. New orders increased 13.2% during the second quarter of 2003 compared with new orders generated during the same period in 2002 as a result of favorable market conditions and a 4% increase in total active communities quarter over quarter. Home settlements were relatively flat quarter over quarter as a result of weather related and development delays during the second quarter of 2003 in certain of NVR’s markets.

Gross profit margins in the second quarter of 2003 increased to 24.8% as compared to 23.9% for the second quarter of 2002. The increase in gross margins was due primarily to the aforementioned favorable market conditions, and relatively stable costs for lumber and certain other commodities quarter over quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2003 increased $2,377 from the second quarter of 2002, but as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 7.3% from 7.5%. The decrease in SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $6,600 in incentive compensation largely as a result of the termination of the high performance management incentive compensation plan at December 31, 2002.

Backlog units and dollars were 8,017 and $2,556,321, respectively, at June 30, 2003 compared to 6,729 and $1,956,655, respectively, at June 30, 2002. The increase in backlog units is primarily attributable to a 14% higher beginning backlog balance at January 1, 2003 as compared to January 1, 2002. Additionally, new orders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 increased 6.0% as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. The increase in backlog dollars is attributable to

14

Table of Contents

the aforementioned increase in backlog units in addition to a 7.1% increase in the average sales price during the same comparative six-month periods.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

During the first six months of 2003, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $1,551,938 compared to revenues of $1,444,892 in the first six months of 2002. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 9.2% increase in the average settlement price in 2003 compared to 2002, offset partially by a 1.7% decrease in the number of homes settled. The increase in the average selling price is primarily attributable to favorable market conditions allowing NVR to increase prices in certain markets. The decrease in the number of units settled is primarily attributable to weather related and development delays in certain of NVR’s markets. New orders increased by 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in new orders was primarily the result of increased sales in NVR’s markets outside the Washington region. New orders in the Washington region decreased primarily as a result of an 11% decline in the number of active communities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.

Gross profit margins for the first six months of 2003 increased to 25.1% compared to 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in gross profit margins was due to the aforementioned favorable market conditions, and relatively stable costs for lumber and certain other commodities year over year.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $5,919 compared to the same 2002 period, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7.2% from 7.3%. The increase in SG&A costs is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel and selling and marketing costs to facilitate continued growth objectives in existing markets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $9,000 in incentive compensation largely as a result of the termination of the high performance management incentive compensation plan at December 31, 2002.

Mortgage Banking Segment

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

NVR conducts its mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses almost exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment’s customer base. Following is a table of financial and statistical data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

Loan closing volume for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased 8% over the same period for 2002. The 2003 increase is attributable to a 6% increase in the average loan amount due to the homebuilding segment’s higher average selling prices, and to a 2% increase in the number of loans closed. Segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased approximately $3,100 over

15

Table of Contents

2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned 8% increase in closed loan volume, increased secondary marketing gains, and higher revenues per loan. Secondary marketing gains for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased approximately $750 over 2002 due to a more favorable pricing environment. Average revenues per loan (including origination fees, ancillary fees and discount points) for 2003 increased by approximately 9% due to the continuing favorable market environment.

Loan closing volume for the six months ended June 30, 2003 also increased 8% over the same period for 2002. The 2003 increase is attributable to a 9% increase in the average loan amount due to the homebuilding segment’s higher average selling prices, offset by a 1% reduction in the number of loans closed. Segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased approximately $5,400 over 2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned 8% increase in closed loan volume, increased secondary marketing gains, and higher revenues per loan. Secondary marketing gains for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased approximately $1,600 over 2002 due to a more favorable pricing environment. Average revenues per loan (including origination fees, ancillary fees and discount points) for 2003 increased by approximately 14% due to the continuing favorable market environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of FIN 46

NVR’s Finished Lot Acquisition Strategy

NVR does not engage in the land development business. Instead, NVR acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage, typically ranging from 0% to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.

This lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidating damage provision contained within the purchase agreement. NVR does not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and does not guarantee specific performance under these purchase agreements.

Application of FIN 46 to NVR

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46, an enterprise generally consolidated an entity when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest in the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. Upon adoption, FIN 46 applied immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. Beginning July 1, 2003, FIN 46 will apply to variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003.

Subsequent to January 31, 2003 and through June 30, 2003, NVR entered into fixed price lot purchase agreements with an aggregate exercise price of approximately $411,100, by making or committing to make deposits of approximately $25,100. NVR evaluated these agreements entered into subsequent to January 31, 2003 pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46. NVR determined that it

16

Table of Contents

is the primary beneficiary of certain of the variable interest entities with which it has entered into purchase agreements. NVR estimated the current fair value of the land underlying these purchase agreements and consolidated that amount and a related liability. The liabilities represent the difference between the estimated current fair value of the land under contract and NVR’s related deposits. The effect of the consolidation at June 30, 2003 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $7,804 to Inventory Not Owned Consolidated Per FIN 46 with a corresponding inclusion of $7,375 to Liabilities Related To Inventory Not Owned Per FIN 46. NVR does not have access to the financial records of the development entities with which it enters into fixed price purchase agreements, and as a result was unable to consolidate the variable interest entities’ results of operations or cash flows.

NVR has not yet determined the effect of adopting FIN 46 for its currently unconsolidated partnership interests and fixed price purchase agreements that existed as of January 31, 2003. However, that evaluation may require that NVR consolidate assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain of its unconsolidated partnerships and consolidate the estimated fair value of the land (with the related liability) underlying certain of its fixed price purchase agreements. NVR cannot make any definitive conclusion until it completes its evaluation.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. NVR is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 149 on its results of operations and financial condition and cannot make any definitive conclusion until it completes its evaluation.

In May 2003, the FASB issued FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity which establishes standards regarding classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with the characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Adoption of FAS 150 will not have a material impact on NVR’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 17, 2003, NVR completed an offering, at par, for $200,000 of 5% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 1998 (the “Shelf”). The Shelf, as declared effective on February 27, 1998, provides that securities may be offered from time to time in one or more series and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. The offering of the Notes resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $199,700, after deducting offering expenses. The Notes mature on June 15, 2010 and bear interest at 5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2003. The Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of NVR’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and indebtedness under our existing credit facility. The Notes are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness that we may incur. Subsequent to the offering of the Notes, NVR has $55,000 available for issuance under the Shelf.

Table of Contents

On July 14, 2003, NVR used approximately $120,700 of the proceeds received from the sale of the Notes to redeem all of the $115,000 outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2005 at a price of 104% of the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest. The redemption will result in a third quarter pre-tax charge as follows:

NVR’s homebuilding segment generally provides for its working capital cash requirements using cash generated from operations and a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility expires on May 31, 2004. The Facility provides for unsecured borrowings of up to $135,000, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. Up to approximately $40,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit of which $19,811 was outstanding at June 30, 2003. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, borrowing base limitations reduced the amount available to NVR for borrowings to approximately $128,000.

NVR’s mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as a short-term credit facility. NVR’s mortgage banking segment has available an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility with an aggregate available borrowing limit of $175,000 to fund its mortgage origination activities. Management believes that the mortgage warehouse facility will be renewed with terms consistent with the current warehouse facility prior to its expiration on August 30, 2003. There was $107,054 outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003 borrowing base limitations reduced the amount available to NVR for borrowings to approximately $121,000. NVR’s mortgage banking segment also currently has available an aggregate of $50,000 of borrowing capacity in various uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreements. There was an aggregate of $7,598 outstanding under such gestation and repurchase agreements at June 30, 2003.

In November 2002, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $150,000 of NVR’s common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions. NVR had fully utilized the November 2002 stock repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2003. In February 2003, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional aggregate of $150,000 of NVR’s common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions. Through August 4, 2003, NVR had repurchased shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $71,700 pursuant to the February 2003 repurchase authorization. In aggregate, NVR repurchased approximately 355,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $115,452 during the six months ended June 30, 2003. NVR may, from time to time, repurchase additional shares of its common stock, pursuant to repurchase authorizations by the Board of Directors and subject to the restrictions contained within NVR’s debt agreements.
