ATTACHMENT A TO FORM 12b-25

Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2006

PART III — NARRATIVE

     Although the management of Technical Olympic USA, Inc. (the “Registrant”) has been working diligently to complete all required information for its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”), the Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant does presently expect that it will be able to file the Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

     The Registrant is extending the filing period for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 due to recent developments in its continued settlement discussions with representatives of the lenders in the senior and mezzanine credit facilities of its Transeastern Joint Venture. As the discussions have progressed, the Registrant is in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, evaluating a potential amount to be accrued in connection with a possible restructuring of the Transeastern Joint Venture. No assurance can be given as to what amounts would have to be ultimately paid in any settlement if one can be reached at all.

ATTACHMENT B TO FORM 12b-25

Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2006

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

     The Registrant anticipates that it will report a significant change in its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the previous year. The Registrant anticipates that it will report a loss of $201.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net income of $218.3 million for the previous fiscal year primarily due to the $145.1 million impairment recognized on the investment in the Transeastern JV, a $275.0 million estimated loss contingency for the potential restructuring of the Transeastern JV and $155.5 million in inventory impairments and write-off of land deposits and abandonment costs.
