We completed our merger with Schuler Homes, achieved our 98th consecutive quarter of growth in revenues and earnings and declared a 3-for-2 stock split. The Company continues to experience strong sales demand as evidenced by the second quarter's 35% sales increase, which contributed to a record backlog of $2.7 billion. Our record earnings for the first half of this fiscal year, combined with our record backlog, ensure that fiscal 2002 will be our 25th consecutive year of growth and profitability, and position the Company for a prosperous fiscal year 2003."
