STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “should” and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements may include information relating to anticipated operating results (including changes in revenues, profitability and operating margins), financial resources, interest expense, inventory write-downs, changes in accounting treatment, effects of homebuyer cancellations, growth and expansion, anticipated income or loss to be realized from our investments in unconsolidated entities, the ability to acquire land, the ability to gain approvals and to open new communities, the ability to sell homes and properties, the ability to deliver homes from backlog, the ability to secure materials and subcontractors, the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities in the future, industry trends, and stock market valuations. From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our Form 10-K and other periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in press releases, in presentations, on our web site and in other materials released to the public.

Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include local, regional and national economic conditions, the demand for homes, domestic and international political events, uncertainties created by terrorist attacks, the effects of governmental regulation, the competitive environment in which the Company operates, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in home prices, the availability and cost of land for future growth, adverse market conditions that could result in substantial inventory writedowns, the availability of capital, uncertainties and fluctuations in capital and securities markets, changes in tax laws and their interpretation, legal proceedings, the availability of adequate insurance at reasonable cost, the ability of customers to obtain adequate and affordable financing for the purchase of homes, the ability of home buyers to sell their existing homes, the ability of the participants in our various joint ventures to honor their commitments, the availability and cost of labor and materials, construction delays and weather conditions.

The factors mentioned in this report or in other reports or public statements made by us will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements. If one or more of the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. This statement is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Additional information concerning potential factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

When this report uses the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” they refer to Toll Brothers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. Reference herein to “fiscal 2008,” “fiscal 2007,” “fiscal 2006,” and “fiscal 2005,” refer to our fiscal year ending October 31, 2008, and our fiscal years ended October 31, 2007, October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, respectively.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. On February 27, 2008, we issued a press release and held a conference call to review the results of operations for the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 and to discuss the current state of our business. The information contained in this report is the same information given in the press release and on the conference call on February 27, 2008, and we are not reconfirming or updating that information in this Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.	Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that the Company has effective control of the entity, in which case the entity would be consolidated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2007 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2007 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements, the Company suggests that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of January 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Income Taxes

On November 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 requires a company to recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent), based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that tax position is not recognized in the financial statements. See Note 6, “Income Taxes”, for information concerning the adoption of FIN 48.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires the Company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, (b) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period, (c) measure defined benefit plan assets and defined benefit plan obligations as of the date of the Company’s statement of financial position, and (d) disclose additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit costs in the upcoming

TOLL BROTHERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

fiscal year that arise from the delayed recognition of the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits. The Company adopted SFAS 158 effective October 31, 2007 related to its recognition of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect SFAS 159 will have on its financial statements; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). Under the provisions of SFAS 160, a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, or minority interest, must be classified as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the minority interest must be clearly identified in the consolidated statement of operations. SFAS 160 also requires consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling interest retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 160; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassification

The presentation of certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2008 presentation.


2.	Inventory

Inventory consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):


	January 31,		October 31,
	2008		2007

Land and land development costs	$	1,718,983	$	1,749,652
Construction in progress — completed contract		2,908,152		3,109,243

	$	5,273,702	$	5,572,655

TOLL BROTHERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Construction in progress includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs and the carrying cost of home sites that have been substantially improved.

The Company capitalizes certain interest costs to inventory during the development and construction period. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of revenues when the related inventory is delivered for homes accounted for under the completed contract method or when the related inventory is charged to cost of revenues under percentage of completion accounting. Interest incurred, capitalized and expensed for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, was as follows (amounts in thousands):


	2008			2007

Interest capitalized, beginning of period	$	215,571		$	181,465
Interest incurred		33,105			34,151
Interest expensed to cost of revenues		(20,967	)		(22,643	)
Write-off against other income		—			(40	)

Interest capitalized, end of period	$	227,709		$	192,933

Inventory impairment charges are recognized against all inventory costs of a community, such as land, land improvements, cost of home construction and capitalized interest. The amounts included in the above table reflect the gross amount of capitalized interest before allocation of any impairment charges recognized.

Interest included in cost of revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, was as follows (amounts in thousands):


	2008		2007

Completed contract	$	20,701	$	21,737
Percentage of completion		264		905
Land		2		1

	$	20,967	$	22,643

The Company recognized inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that it believed not to be recoverable in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, as follows (amounts in thousands):


	2008		2007

Land controlled for future communities	$	72,485	$	13,939
Operating communities and land owned		145,175		82,962

Total	$	217,660	$	96,901

At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company evaluates its operating communities and land owned to determine their estimated fair value and whether their estimated fair value exceeded their carrying costs. In the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Company recognized $145.2 million of impairment charges related to 38 operating communities and land owned; the fair value of such communities and land, net of the impairment charges, was $339.3 million at January 31, 2008. In the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, the Company recognized $83.0 million of impairment charges related to 18 operating communities and land owned; the fair value of those communities and land, net of the impairment charges was $211.8 million at January 31, 2007.

At January 31, 2008, the Company evaluated its land purchase contracts to determine if any of the selling entities were variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if they were, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these purchase contracts, the Company does not possess legal title to the land and its risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers; the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against the

TOLL BROTHERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Company. At January 31, 2008, the Company had determined that it was the primary beneficiary of one VIE related to a land purchase contract and had recorded $15.3 million of inventory and $12.0 million of accrued expenses.


3.	Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities

The Company has investments in and advances to several joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop land. Some of these joint ventures develop land for the sole use of the venture participants, including the Company, and others develop land for sale to the venture participants and to unrelated builders. The Company recognizes its share of earnings from the sale of home sites to other builders. The Company does not recognize earnings from home sites it purchases from the joint ventures, but instead reduces its cost basis in those home sites by its share of the earnings on the home sites. At January 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $72.2 million invested in or advanced to these joint ventures and was committed to contributing additional capital in an aggregate amount of approximately $217.1 million (net of the Company’s $121.7 million of loan guarantees related to two of these joint ventures’ loans) if required by the joint ventures. At January 31, 2008, three of these joint ventures had an aggregate of $1.22 billion of loan commitments, and had approximately $1.06 billion borrowed against the commitments, of which the Company’s guarantees of its pro-rata share of the borrowings were $99.4 million. The Company has recognized cumulative impairment charges of $87.0 million ($27.8 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 and $59.2 million in the three-month period ended October 31, 2007) against two of its investment in these entities because it did not believe that its investments were recoverable.

The Company has investments in and advances to two joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury condominium projects, including for-sale residential units and commercial space. At January 31, 2008, the Company had investments in and advances to these joint ventures of $26.3 million, was committed to making up to $123.1 million of additional investments in and advances to these joint ventures if required by the joint ventures, and guaranteed $18.6 million of loans of these joint ventures. At January 31, 2008, these joint ventures had an aggregate of $307.3 million of loan commitments and had approximately $179.6 million borrowed against the commitments.

The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture with an unrelated party to convert a 525-unit apartment complex, The Hudson Tea Buildings, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, into luxury condominium units. At January 31, 2008, the Company had investments in and advances to this joint venture of $48.7 million, and was committed to making up to $1.5 million of additional investments in and advances to it.

In fiscal 2005, the Company, together with the Pennsylvania State Employees Retirement System (“PASERS”), formed Toll Brothers Realty Trust II (“Trust II”) to be in a position to take advantage of commercial real estate opportunities. Trust II is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by PASERS. At January 31, 2008, the Company had an investment of $9.8 million in Trust II. In addition, the Company and PASERS each entered into subscription agreements that expire in September 2009, whereby each agreed to invest additional capital in an amount not to exceed $11.1 million if required by Trust II. Prior to the formation of Trust II, the Company used Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the “Trust”) to invest in commercial real estate opportunities.

The Company formed the Trust in 1998 to take advantage of commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by the Company; one-third by Robert I. Toll, Bruce E. Toll (and trusts established for the benefit of members of his family), Zvi Barzilay (and trusts established for the benefit of members of his family), Joel H. Rassman, and other members of the Company’s current and former senior management; and one-third by PASERS. During fiscal 2007, the Company received distributions from the Trust that resulted in reducing the carrying value of its investment in the Trust to zero. The Company provides development, finance and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amounts of $0.5 million and $0.5 million in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company believes that the transactions between itself and the Trust were on terms no less favorable than it would have agreed to with unrelated parties.

The Company’s investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method.

4.	Goodwill Impairment

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, due to the continued decline of the Detroit market, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of goodwill that resulted from a 1999 acquisition in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company estimated the fair value of its assets in this market, including goodwill. Fair value was determined based on the discounted future cash flow expected to be generated in this market. Based upon this evaluation and the Company’s expectation that this market would not recover for a number of years, the Company determined that the related goodwill was impaired. The Company recognized a $9.0 million impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. After recognizing this charge, the Company did not have any goodwill remaining from this acquisition.


5.	Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses at January 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):


	January 31,		October 31,
	2008		2007

	$	694,283	$	724,229

The Company accrues for expected warranty costs at the time each home is closed and title and possession are transferred to the home buyer. Costs are accrued based upon historical experience. Changes in the warranty accrual for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (amounts in thousands):


	2008			2007

Balance, beginning of period	$	59,249		$	57,414
Additions		6,347			7,534
Charges incurred		(5,246	)		(7,113	)

Balance, end of period	$	60,350		$	57,835


6.	Income Taxes

As of November 1, 2007, the Company recorded a $47.5 million charge ($79.1 million before recognition of tax benefit) to retained earnings to recognize the net cumulative effect of the adoption of FIN 48. As of November 1, 2007, after adoption of FIN 48, the cumulative net unrecognized tax benefits were $218.6 million ($364.3 million before recognition of tax benefit). Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes which is consistent with the Company’s historical accounting policy. During the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Company utilized $33.0 million of net unrecognized tax benefits ($55.0 million before recognition of tax benefit) for the partial settlement of its Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) tax audits for fiscal years 2003 through 2005, State of California tax audits for fiscal years 2002 and 2003, and certain other amended filings; the Company expects to utilize an additional $15.0 million of net unrecognized tax benefits ($25.0 million before recognition of tax benefit) to complete these settlements in subsequent quarters. The state impact of any amended federal returns remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification of such amendments to the states. The Company and its subsidiaries have various state and other income

tax returns in the process of examination or administrative appeal. The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments to its financial statements resulting from tax examinations currently in progress.

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease primarily from expiration of tax statutes, but the Company does not believe these reversals will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s unrecognized net tax benefits at January 31, 2008, amounted to $187.7 million ($312.8 million before recognition of tax benefit) and are included in “Income taxes payable” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 31, 2008. If these tax benefits reverse in the future, they would have an impact on the Company’s effective rate.

During the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized in its tax provision, before reduction for applicable taxes, interest and penalties of approximately $3.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. At January 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007, the Company had accrued interest and penalties, before reduction of applicable taxes, of $143.6 million and $54.8 million, respectively; these amounts were included in “Income taxes payable” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 relates primarily to the adoption of FIN 48.

8.	Employee Retirement Plan

In December 2007, the Company amended its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to provide for increased benefits to certain participants if such participants continue to work beyond retirement age. Based on this amendment and a concomitant change in the assumption related to the participants’ retirement dates, the Company’s unrecognized prior service cost increased by $5.1 million and its unrecognized actuarial gains increased by $2.8 million. The additional unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized actuarial gains will be amortized over the extended period that the Company has estimated that the participant will continue to work.

9.	Stock-Based Benefit Plans

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The lattice-based option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs; those ranges are disclosed in the table below. Expected volatilities were based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The expected lives of options granted were derived from the historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average assumptions and the fair value used for stock option grants for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:


	2008	2007

Expected volatility	46.67% - 48.63%	36.32% - 38.22%
Weighted-average volatility	47.61%	37.16%
Risk-free interest rate	3.32% - 3.85%	4.57% - 4.61%
Expected life (years)	4.29 - 8.32	3.69 - 8.12
Dividends	none	none
Weighted-average grant date fair value
per share of options granted	$9.50	$11.17

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Company recognized $12.2 million of stock compensation expense and $4.8 million of income tax benefit related to stock option grants. In the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, the Company recognized $12.8 million of stock compensation expense and $4.8 million of income tax benefit related to stock option grants.

The Company expects to recognize approximately $21.8 million of stock compensation expense and $8.7 million of income tax benefit for fiscal 2008 related to stock option grants. The Company recognized approximately $27.0 million of stock compensation expense and $10.1 million of income tax benefit for the full fiscal 2007 year related to stock option grants.

10.	Earnings per Share Information

Information pertaining to the calculation of earnings per share for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (amounts in thousands):


	2008		2007

Basic weighted-average shares		157,813		154,212
Common stock equivalents		—		9,836

Diluted weighted-average shares		157,813		164,048

For the three months ended January 31, 2008, there were no incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock because the Company had a net loss for the period, and any incremental shares would not be dilutive.

At January 31, 2008, the exercise price of approximately 9.3 million outstanding options was higher than the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the three-month period ended January 31, 2008. At January 31, 2007, the exercise price of approximately 5.7 million outstanding options was higher than the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE for the three-month period ended January 31, 2007.


11.	Stock Repurchase Program

In March 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of its common stock, par value $.01, from time to time, in open market transactions or otherwise, for the purpose of providing shares for its various employee benefit plans. At January 31, 2008, the Company was authorized to repurchase approximately 12.0 million shares.


12.	Commitments and Contingencies

At January 31, 2008, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements, excluding parcels that the Company does not expect to acquire, was approximately $2.01 billion (including $1.22 billion of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which the Company has investments). Of the $2.01 billion of land purchase commitments, the Company had paid or deposited $95.7 million, and had investments in, or guarantees on behalf of, the aforementioned joint ventures totaling $193.4 million. The Company’s option agreements to acquire the home sites do not require the Company to buy the home sites, although the Company may, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when it terminates an option agreement. Of the $95.7 million the Company had paid or deposited on these option agreements, $74.8 million was non-refundable at January 31, 2008. Any deposit in the form of a standby letter of credit is recorded as a liability at the time the standby letter of credit is issued. At January 31, 2008, accrued expenses included $31.9 million, representing the Company’s outstanding standby letters of credit issued in connection with options to purchase home sites.

At January 31, 2008, the Company had $156.9 million of investments in and advances to a number of unconsolidated entities, was committed to invest or advance an additional $352.7 million in the aggregate to these entities if needed and had guaranteed approximately $140.3 million of these entities’ indebtedness and/or loan commitments. See Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities” for more information regarding these entities.

At January 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $639.3 million, related primarily to its obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in the Company’s various communities. The Company estimates that $248.5 million of work remains on these improvements. The Company has an additional $125.6 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations of the Company. The Company does not believe it is likely that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.

At January 31, 2008, the Company had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 3,341 homes with an aggregate sales value of $2.42 billion, of which the Company has recognized $24.3 million of revenues with regard to a portion of such homes using the percentage of completion accounting method.

At January 31, 2008, the Company’s mortgage subsidiary was committed to fund $871.1 million of mortgage loans, $231.7 million of these commitments, as well as $78.5 million of mortgage loans receivable, have “locked in” interest rates. The mortgage subsidiary has commitments from recognized outside mortgage financing institutions to acquire $309.4 million of these “locked-in” loans and receivables. Our home buyers have not “locked-in” the interest rate on the remaining $639.5 million.

In January 2006, the Company received a request for information pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act from Region 3 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) requesting information about storm water discharge practices in connection with its homebuilding projects in the states that comprise EPA Region 3. The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has now assumed responsibility for the oversight of this matter. To the extent the DOJ’s review were to lead it to assert violations of state and/or federal regulatory requirements and request injunctive relief and/or civil penalties, the Company would defend and attempt to resolve any such asserted violations. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the DOJ’s review.

On April 17, 2007, a securities class action suit was filed against Toll Brothers, Inc. and Robert I. Toll and Bruce E. Toll in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The original plaintiff, Desmond Lowrey, has been replaced by two new lead plaintiffs — The City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System and the Laborers Pension Trust Funds for Northern California. On August 14, 2007, an amended complaint was filed on behalf of the purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between December 9, 2004 and November 8, 2005 and the following individual defendants, who are directors and/or officers of Toll Brothers, Inc., were added to the suit: Zvi Barzilay, Joel H. Rassman, Robert S. Blank, Paul E. Shapiro, Carl B. Marbach, Richard Braemer, and Joseph R. Sicree. The amended complaint filed on behalf of the purported class alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing various materially false and misleading statements that had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the Company’s stock. They further allege that, during the class period, the individual defendants sold shares for a substantial gain. The purported class is seeking compensatory damages, counsel fees, and expert costs. The Company has responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss, challenging the sufficiency of the pleadings. There has not yet been any ruling on the Company’s motion. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against it.

A second securities class action suit was filed on September 7, 2007 in federal court in the Central District of California. In the complaint, the plaintiff, on behalf of the purported class of stockholders, alleges that the Chief Financial Officer of the Company violated federal securities laws by issuing various materially false and misleading statements and seeks compensatory damages, counsel fees and expert costs. The alleged class period is December 8, 2005 to August 22, 2007. The original plaintiff, Kathy Mankofsky, has been replaced by a new lead plaintiff — the Massachusetts Bricklayers & Masons Trust Funds. The new lead plaintiff must file an amended complaint no later than March 21, 2008. The Company intends to reply to it with a motion to dismiss the suit. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

The Company is involved in various other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on the business or on the financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 2.	*MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS*

OVERVIEW

In our first quarter ended January 31, 2008, we recognized $842.9 million of revenues and recorded a net loss of $96.0 million, as compared to $1.09 billion of revenues and $54.3 million of net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recognized inventory and joint venture impairment charges and write-offs of $245.5 million, as compared to $105.9 million of inventory and goodwill impairment charges and write-offs in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Our backlog at January 31, 2008 of $2.40 billion decreased 42% as compared to our backlog at January 31, 2007 of $4.15 billion. Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers for our communities accounted for using the completed contract method of accounting. Backlog for homes for which we use the percentage of completion accounting method consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers less the amount of revenues we have recognized related to those homes.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and continuing into the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we have experienced a slowdown in new contracts signed. We attribute the slowdown primarily to a decline in consumer confidence, an overall softening of demand for new homes, the inability of some of our home buyers to sell their current home and the direct and indirect impact of the turmoil in the mortgage loan market. We believe the reduction in demand is due to concerns on the part of prospective home buyers about the direction of home prices, due in part to the constant media attention regarding the potential for mortgage foreclosures and possible recession, and concerns by prospective home buyers about being able to sell their existing homes. We believe the concern about the direction of home prices is due to an oversupply of homes available for sale, and many other builders advertising price reductions and increased sales incentives. In addition, we believe speculators and investors are no longer contributing to the demand for new homes. We try to avoid selling homes to speculators, and we generally do not build detached homes without having a signed agreement of sale and receiving a substantial down payment from a buyer. Nonetheless, we have been impacted by an overall increase in the supply of homes available for sale in many markets, as speculators attempt to sell the homes they previously purchased or cancel contracts for homes under construction, and as those builders that, as part of their business strategy, were building homes in anticipation of capturing additional sales in a demand-driven market, attempt to reduce their inventories by lowering prices and adding incentives. In addition, based on the high cancellation rates reported by us and by other builders, non-speculative buyer cancellations are also adding to the supply of homes in the marketplace.

Despite this slowdown, we believe our industry demographics remain strong due to the continuing regulation-induced constraints on lot supplies and the growing number of affluent households. We continue to seek a balance between our short-term goal of selling homes in a tough market and our long-term goal of maximizing the value of our communities. We believe that many of our communities are in locations that are difficult to replace and in markets where approvals are increasingly difficult to achieve. We believe that many of these communities have substantial embedded value that will be realizable in the future and that this value should not necessarily be sacrificed in the current soft market.

We are concerned about the dislocation in the secondary mortgage market. We maintain relationships with a widely diversified group of mortgage providers, most of which are among the largest and, we believe, most reliable in our industry. With few exceptions, the mortgage providers that provide our customers with mortgages continue to issue new commitments. Our buyers generally have been able to obtain adequate financing. Nevertheless, tightening credit standards will likely shrink the pool of potential home buyers. Mortgage market liquidity issues and higher borrowing rates may impede some of our home buyers from closing, while others may find it more difficult to sell their existing homes as their buyers face the problem of obtaining a mortgage. However, we believe that our buyers generally should be able to continue to secure mortgages, due to their typically lower loan-to-value ratios and attractive credit profiles compared to the average American home buyer. Although we cannot predict the short- and long-term liquidity of the loan markets, we caution that, with the uncertainties in the mortgage markets right now, the pace of home sales could slow further until the credit markets settle down.

In the current challenging environment, we believe our access to reliable capital and our strong balance sheet give us an important competitive advantage. Based on our experience during prior downturns in the housing market, we have learned that unexpected opportunities may arise in difficult times for those builders that are well-prepared. We

believe that our solid financial base, our broad geographic presence, our diversified product lines and our national brand name all position us well for such opportunities now and in the future. At January 31, 2008, we had $956.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.2 billion available under our bank revolving credit facility which extends to March 17, 2011. We believe we have the resources available to fund future opportunities.

Notwithstanding the current market conditions, we believe geographic and product diversification, access to lower-cost capital, and strong demographics have in the past and will in the future, as market conditions improve, benefit those builders that can control land and persevere through the increasingly difficult regulatory approval process. We believe that these factors favor the large publicly traded home building companies with the capital and expertise to control home sites and gain market share. We believe that as builders reduce the number of home sites being taken through the approval process and the process continues to become more difficult, and as the political pressure from no-growth proponents continues to increase, our expertise in taking land through the approval process and our already approved land positions will allow us to grow in the years to come, as market conditions improve.

Because of the length of time that it takes to obtain the necessary approvals on a property, complete the land improvements on it, and deliver a home after a home buyer signs an agreement of sale, we are subject to many risks. We attempt to reduce certain risks by controlling land for future development through options whenever possible, thus allowing us to obtain the necessary governmental approvals before acquiring title to the land; generally commencing construction of a detached home only after executing an agreement of sale and receiving a substantial down payment from the buyer; and using subcontractors to perform home construction and land development work on a fixed-price basis. In response to current market conditions, we have been reevaluating and renegotiating many of our optioned land positions. As a result, we have reduced our land position from a high of approximately 91,200 home sites at April 30, 2006, to approximately 55,000 home sites at January 31, 2008.

In the ordinary course of doing business, we must make estimates and judgments that affect decisions on how we operate and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to the recognition of income and expenses; impairment of assets; estimates of future improvement and amenity costs; capitalization of costs to inventory; provisions for litigation, insurance and warranty costs; and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and adjust our estimates based on the information currently available. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions or conditions.

At January 31, 2008, we were selling from 315 communities, compared to 315 communities at October 31, 2007 and 320 communities at January 31, 2007. We expect to be selling from approximately 300 communities at October 31, 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). In addition to direct land acquisition, land development and home construction costs, costs include interest, real estate taxes and direct overhead related to development and construction, which are capitalized to inventories during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. Once a parcel of land has been approved for development, it generally takes four to five years to fully develop, sell and deliver all the homes in one of our typical communities. Longer or shorter time periods are possible depending on the number of home sites in a community and the sales and delivery pace of the homes in a community. Our master planned communities, consisting of several smaller communities, may take up to ten years or more to complete. Because of the downturn in our business, the aforementioned estimated community lives may be significantly longer. Because our inventory is considered a long-lived asset under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,

we are required, under SFAS 144, to regularly review the carrying value of each of our communities and write down the value of those communities for which we believe the values are not recoverable.

Current Communities: When the profitability of a current community deteriorates, the sales pace declines significantly or some other factor indicates a possible impairment in the recoverability of the asset, the asset is reviewed for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flow for the community to its carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flow is less than the community’s carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value. Fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. The impairment is charged to cost of revenues in the period the impairment is determined. In estimating the cash flow of a community, we use various estimates such as (a) the expected sales pace in a community based upon general economic conditions that will have a short-term or long-term impact on the market in which the community is located and competition within the market, including the number of homes/home sites available and pricing and incentives being offered in other communities owned by us or by other builders; (b) the expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered in a community; (c) costs expended to date and expected to be incurred in the future, including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction costs, interest costs and overhead costs; (d) alternative product offerings that may be offered in a community that will have an impact on sales pace, sales price, building cost or the number of homes that can be built on a particular site; and (e) alternative uses for the property such as the possibility of a sale of the entire community to another builder or the sale of individual home sites.

Future Communities: We evaluate all land held for future communities or future sections of current communities, whether owned or under contract, to determine whether or not we expect to proceed with the development of the land as originally contemplated. This evaluation encompasses the same types of estimates used for current communities described above as well as an evaluation of the regulatory environment in which the land is located and the estimated probability of obtaining the necessary approvals, the estimated time and cost it will take to obtain the approvals and the possible concessions that will be required to be given in order to obtain them. Concessions may include cash payments to fund improvement to public places such as parks and streets, dedication of a portion of the property for use by the public or as open space or a reduction in the density or size of the homes to be built. Based upon this review, we decide (a) as to land under contract to be purchased, whether the contract will likely be terminated or renegotiated, and (b) as to land we own, whether the land will likely be developed as contemplated or in an alternative manner, or should be sold. We then further determine whether costs that have been capitalized to the community are recoverable or should be written off. The write-off is charged to cost of revenues in the period that the need for the write-off is determined.

The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of both current and future communities are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and our expectations of future operations and economic conditions. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated fair value deteriorate in the future, we may be required to recognize additional write-downs/write-offs related to current and future communities.

Variable Interest Entities: We have a significant number of land purchase contracts, sometimes referred to herein as “land purchase contracts,” “purchase agreements,” “options” or “option agreements,” and several investments in unconsolidated entities which we evaluate in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” as amended by FIN 46R (“FIN 46”). Pursuant to FIN 46, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is considered to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity investment or in which the equity investors lack some of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For land purchase contracts with sellers meeting the definition of a VIE, we perform a review to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This review requires substantial judgment and estimation. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of the land under contract. At January 31, 2008, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of one VIE related to a land purchase contract and had recorded $15.3 million of inventory and $12.0 million of accrued expenses.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Home Sales-Completed Contract Method: The construction time of our homes is generally less than one year, although some may take more than one year to complete. Revenues and cost of revenues from these home sales are recorded at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. Closing normally occurs shortly after construction is substantially completed. In addition, we have several high-rise/mid-rise projects which do not qualify for percentage of completion accounting in accordance SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”), which are included in this category of revenues and costs.

Land, land development and related costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are amortized to the cost of homes closed based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each community. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs subsequent to the commencement of delivery of homes are allocated to the remaining undelivered homes in the community. Home construction and related costs are charged to the cost of homes closed under the specific identification method. The estimated land, common area development and related costs of master planned communities, including the cost of golf courses, net of their estimated residual value, are allocated to individual communities within a master planned community on a relative sales value basis. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs are allocated to the remaining home sites in each of the communities of the master planned community.

Forfeited customer deposits are recognized in other income in the period when we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and when we determine that we have the right to keep the deposit.

Home Sales -Percentage of Completion Method: We have three high-rise projects for which we use the percentage of completion accounting method to recognize revenues and costs. Under the provisions of SFAS 66, revenues and costs for these projects are recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting when construction is beyond the preliminary stage, the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit, sufficient units in the project have been sold to ensure that the property will not be converted to rental property, the sales proceeds are collectible and the aggregate sales proceeds and the total cost of the project can be reasonably estimated. Revenues and costs of individual projects are recognized on the individual project’s aggregate value of units for which the home buyers have signed binding agreements of sale, less an allowance for cancellations, and are based on the percentage of total estimated construction costs that have been incurred. Total estimated revenues and construction costs are reviewed periodically, and any change is applied to current and future periods.

Forfeited customer deposits are recognized as a reduction in the amount of revenues reversed in the period when we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and when we determine that we have the right to keep the deposit.

Land Sales: Land sales revenues and cost of revenues are recorded at the time that title and possession of the property have been transferred to the buyer. We recognize the pro rata share of land sales revenues and cost of land sales revenues to entities in which we have a 50% or less interest based upon the ownership percentage attributable to the non-Company investors. Any profit not recognized in a transaction reduces our investment in the entity or is recorded as an accrued liability on our consolidated balance sheet.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in and advances to several joint ventures and to Toll Brothers Realty Trust Group (“Trust”) and Toll Brothers Realty Trust Group II (“Trust II”). At January 31, 2008, we had investments in and advances to these entities of $156.9 million, were committed to invest or advance an additional $352.7 million in the aggregate to these entities if needed and had guaranteed approximately $140.3 million of these entities’ indebtedness and/or loan commitments. See Note 3 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities” for more information regarding these entities. Our investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method.

REVENUES AND COSTS — COMPLETED CONTRACT

Home sales revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2008 were lower than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2007 by approximately $227.6 million, or 22%. The decrease was attributable to a 23% decrease in the number of homes delivered, offset by a 1% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The decrease in the number of homes delivered in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 was primarily due to the lower backlog of homes at October 31, 2007 as compared to October 31, 2006, which was primarily the result of a 28% decrease in the number of new contracts signed in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006, and the increased number of cancellations of contracts by home buyers in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. The increase in the average price of the homes delivered was due to the impact of the settlement of units in several of our high rise projects in the fiscal 2008 period that did not have settlements in the fiscal 2007 period, and a shift in product mix to higher priced product, offset, in part, by an increase in incentives given on homes closed in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

The value of new sales contracts signed was $384.7 million (653 homes) in the three months ended January 31, 2008, a 47% decrease compared to the value of contracts signed in the comparable period of fiscal 2007 of $731.2 million (1,003 homes). This decrease is attributable to a 35% decrease in the number of new contracts signed and a 19% decrease in the average value of each contract. We believe the decrease in the number of new contracts signed is attributable to a decline in consumer confidence, an overall softening of demand for new homes, concerns

on the part of prospective home buyers about the direction of home prices, and concerns by prospective home buyers about being able to sell their existing homes. We attribute the concern about the direction of home prices to an oversupply of homes available for sale and to many other builders advertising price reductions and increased sales incentives.

In addition, speculators and investors are no longer contributing to demand. We try to avoid selling homes to speculators, and we generally do not build detached homes without having a signed agreement of sale. Nonetheless, we have been impacted by an overall increase in the supply of homes available for sale in many markets as speculators attempt to sell the homes they previously purchased or cancel contracts for homes under construction, and as builders, who, as part of their business strategy, were building homes in anticipation of capturing additional sales in a demand-driven market attempt to reduce their inventories by lowering prices and adding incentives. In addition, based on the high cancellation rates reported by us and by other builders, non-speculative buyer cancellations are also adding to the supply of homes in the marketplace. The decline in the average sales price of contracts signed in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period was due primarily to the higher average value of the contracts cancelled during the fiscal 2008 period compared to the fiscal 2007 period, higher sales incentives given to homebuyers in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007, and a shift in the number of contracts signed to less expensive areas and/or product in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

At January 31, 2008, our backlog of homes under contract was $2.38 billion (3,312 homes), 41% lower than the $4.01 billion (5,585 homes) backlog at January 31, 2007. The decrease in backlog at January 31, 2008 compared to the backlog at January 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to a lower backlog at October 31, 2007 as compared to the backlog at October 31, 2006, and the decrease in the value and number of new contracts signed in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period, offset in part by lower deliveries in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

Home costs before interest as a percentage of home sales revenue were 100.9% in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to 80.3% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized inventory impairment charges and write-offs of $217.7 million and $96.9 million, respectively. Excluding inventory impairment charges and write-offs, cost of revenues was 74.6% of revenues in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to 71.1% in the fiscal 2007 period. The increase in the pre-impairment/write-off cost of revenues percentage was due primarily to higher sales incentives on the homes delivered and higher overhead costs per home due to the decreased construction activity.

REVENUES AND COSTS — PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION

In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $15.8 million and $33.1 million of revenues, respectively, and $12.9 million and $25.9 million of costs, respectively, on projects accounted for using the percentage of completion method. At January 31, 2008, our backlog of homes in communities that we account for using the percentage of completion method of accounting was $16.6 million (net of $24.3 million of revenue recognized) compared to $138.7 million at January 31, 2007 (net of $166.9 million of revenue recognized). The decline in the backlog at January 31, 2008 was primarily the result of the delivery of units, the continued recognition of revenue and a high number of contract cancellations, offset, in part, by new contracts signed. During the fiscal 2008 period, revenue, contracts and backlog were negatively impacted by eight contract cancellations from one project located in our South segment. We expect that this decline will continue as we recognize revenues, and sell out of existing projects without replacing them with new projects that qualify under the accounting rules for the application of the percentage of completion accounting method.

REVENUES AND COSTS — LAND SALES

We are developing several communities in which we expect to sell a portion of the land to other builders or entities. The amount and profitability of land sales will vary from year to year depending upon the sale and delivery of the specific land parcels. In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, land sales were $0.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Cost of land sales was approximately 83.0% and 30.6% of land sales revenues in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

In our traditional homebuilding operations, we determine interest expense on a specific lot-by-lot basis, and for land sales, on a parcel-by-parcel basis. As a percentage of total revenues, interest expense varies depending on many factors, including the period of time that we owned the land, the length of time that the homes delivered during the period were under construction, and the interest rates and the amount of debt carried by us in proportion to the amount of our inventory during those periods.

For projects using the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition, interest expense is determined based on the total estimated interest for the project and the percentage of total estimated construction costs that have been incurred to date. Any change in the estimated interest expense for the project is applied to current and future periods.

Interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.5% of total revenues in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to 2.1% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“SG&A”)

SG&A spending decreased by $12.9 million, or 9.6%, in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 14.4% in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to 12.3% in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The reduction in spending was due to reduced compensation costs and reduced costs for advertising, promotions and marketing.

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

During the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, due to the continued decline of the Detroit market, we re-evaluated the carrying value of goodwill associated with a 1999 acquisition. We estimated the fair value of our assets in this market, including goodwill. Fair value was determined based on the discounted future cash flow expected to be generated in this market. Based upon this evaluation and our expectation that this market would not recover for a number of years, we determined that the related goodwill had been impaired. We recognized a $9.0 million impairment charge in the three-month period ended January 31, 2007. After recognizing this charge, we do not have any goodwill remaining from this acquisition.

(LOSS) EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We are a participant in several joint ventures and in the Trust and Trust II. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses from these entities. Many of our joint ventures are land development projects or high-rise/mid-rise construction projects and do not generate revenues and earnings for a number of years during the development of the property. Once development is complete, the joint ventures will generally, over a relatively short period of time, generate revenues and earnings until all the assets of the entities are sold. Because there is not a steady flow of revenues and earnings from these entities, the earnings recognized from these entities will vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. In the three months ended January 31, 2008, we recognized $24.1 million of losses from unconsolidated entities as compared to $6.8 million of income in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The loss in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 was attributable to $27.8 million of impairment charges recognized on two of our investments in unconsolidated entities.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME

For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, interest and other income was $19.1 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The decrease in other income in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007, was primarily due to the recognition of a $9.6 million gain from the sale of our cable TV and broadband internet business in fiscal 2007, lower retained customer deposits and lower management fee income in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007, offset, in part, by higher interest income in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

(LOSS) INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, we reported a loss before tax benefits of $152.0 million as compared to $87.2 million of income before taxes for the three-month period ended January 31, 2007.

INCOME TAXES

An income tax benefit was provided in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 at an effective rate of 36.9%. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, an income tax provision was provided at an effective rate of 37.7%.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Funding for our business has been provided principally by cash flow from operating activities, unsecured bank borrowings and the public debt and equity markets. We have used our cash flow from operating activities, bank borrowings and the proceeds of public debt and equity offerings to acquire additional land for new communities, fund additional expenditures for land development, fund construction costs needed to meet the requirements of our backlog and the increasing number of communities in which we were offering homes for sale, invest in unconsolidated entities, repurchase our stock, and repay debt.

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, we generated $56.3 million of cash, principally from operating activities. In the fiscal 2008 period, cash flow from operating activities was generated primarily from net income before inventory and investment impairment losses, reductions in inventory, and a decrease in contracts receivable related to percentage of completion accounting, offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease in customer deposits and a decrease in income taxes payable. The decreased inventory, contracts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits were due primarily to the decline in our business as previously discussed.

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2007, we used $183.3 million of cash, including $113.7 million used in operating activities. In the fiscal 2007 period, net cash used in operating activities was primarily for inventory additions, a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a reduction in customer deposits, offset, in part, by net income and the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans in excess of the amount of mortgage loans made. The increase in inventory in the fiscal 2007 period was the result of our continued spending on land improvements and construction in progress. The decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer deposits was due primarily to the decline in our business as previously discussed. For the full 2007 fiscal year, cash flow from operations was $330.5 million and our net increase in cash was $267.8 million.

At January 31, 2008, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements was approximately $2.01 billion (including $1.22 billion of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which we have invested). Of the $1.22 billion of land purchase commitments, we had paid or deposited $95.7 million and had invested in or guaranteed loans on behalf of the aforementioned joint ventures of $193.4 million. The purchases of these land parcels are scheduled over the next several years.

In general, cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each home is delivered, we will purchase a home site to replace it. Because we own several years’ supply of home sites, we do not need to buy home sites immediately to replace the ones delivered. In addition, we generally do not begin construction of our single-family detached homes until we have a signed contract with the home buyer, although in fiscal 2006 and 2007, due to an extremely high cancellation rate of customer contracts and the increase in the number of attached-home communities that we were operating from, the number of speculative homes in our inventory increased significantly. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the value of net new contracts signed increased approximately 3% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2007, the value of net new contracts signed decreased 32.5% versus fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2006, the value of net new contracts signed with home buyers decreased by 37.6% from fiscal 2005. Should our business remain at its current level or decline significantly, we believe that our inventory levels would continue to decrease, as we complete and deliver the homes under construction but do not commence construction of as many new homes, complete the improvements on the land we already own and sell and deliver the speculative homes that are currently in inventory, resulting in an increase in our cash flow from operations. In addition, we might continue

to delay or curtail our acquisition of additional land, as we have since the second half of fiscal 2006, which would further reduce our inventory levels and cash needs. At January 31, 2008, we owned or controlled through options approximately 55,000 home sites, as compared to approximately 59,300 at October 31, 2007, and approximately 91,200 at April 30, 2006, the high point of our home sites owned and controlled.

During the past several years, we have had a significant amount of cash invested in either short-term cash equivalents or short-term interest-bearing marketable securities. In addition, we have made a number of investments in unconsolidated entities related to the acquisition and development of land for future home sites or in entities that are constructing or converting apartment buildings into luxury condominiums. Our investment activities related to marketable securities and investments in and distributions of investments from unconsolidated entities are contained in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” under “Cash flow from investing activities.”

We have a $1.89 billion credit facility consisting of a $1.56 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a $331.7 million term loan facility (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) with 35 banks, which extends to March 2011. At January 31, 2008, interest was payable on borrowings under the revolving credit facility at 0.475% (subject to adjustment based upon our corporate debt rating and leverage ratios) above the Eurodollar rate or at other specified variable rates as selected by us from time to time. At January 31, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility but had letters of credit of approximately $324.5 million outstanding under it. Under the term loan facility, interest is payable at 0.50% (subject to adjustment based upon our corporate debt rating and leverage ratios) above the Eurodollar rate or at other specified variable rates as selected by us from time to time. At January 31, 2008, interest was payable on the term loan at 4.01%. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are not permitted to allow our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) to exceed 2.00 to 1.00 and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) of approximately $2.34 billion at January 31, 2008. At January 31, 2008, our leverage ratio was approximately .43 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $3.36 billion.

We believe that we will be able to continue to fund our operations and meet our contractual obligations through a combination of existing cash resources and our existing sources of credit.

INFLATION

The long-term impact of inflation on us is manifested in increased costs for land, land development, construction and overhead, as well as in increased sales prices of our homes. We generally contract for land significantly before development and sales efforts begin. Accordingly, to the extent land acquisition costs are fixed, increases or decreases in the sales prices of homes will affect our profits. Because the sales price of each of our homes is fixed at the time a buyer enters into a contract to acquire a home, and because we generally contract to sell our homes before we begin construction, any inflation of costs in excess of those anticipated may result in lower gross margins. We generally attempt to minimize that effect by entering into fixed-price contracts with our subcontractors and material suppliers for specified periods of time, which generally do not exceed one year.

In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates and housing costs. Interest rates, the length of time that land remains in inventory and the proportion of inventory that is financed affect our interest costs. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting prospective buyers’ ability to adequately finance home purchases, our revenues, gross margins and net income would be adversely affected. Increases in sales prices, whether the result of inflation or demand, may affect the ability of prospective buyers to afford new homes.

GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

We operate in four geographic segments around the United States: the North, consisting of Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island; the Mid-Atlantic, consisting of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia; the South, consisting of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas; and the West, consisting of Arizona, California, Colorado and Nevada. We acquired and opened for sale our first communities in Georgia in fiscal 2007.

The following table summarizes by geographic segments total revenues and income (loss) before income taxes for each of the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 ($ amounts in millions):


	Revenues										Income (loss) Before Income Taxes

(a)		Includes percentage of completion revenues of $22.4 million and $19.5 million in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(b)		Includes land sales revenues of $2.3 million in the three months ended January 31, 2007.

(c)		Includes percentage of completion revenues of $(6.6) million and $13.6 million in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and land sales revenues of $0.5 million and $1.1 million in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

North

Revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2008 were higher than those for the three months ended January 31, 2007 by $15.7 million, or 7%. The increase in revenues was attributable to a 12% increase in the average price of homes delivered and an increase in percentage of completion revenues of $2.9 million, partially offset by a 5% decrease in the number of homes delivered. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in the three months ended January 31, 2008, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year, was primarily due to closings during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 in several high-rise completed contract communities in the New York and New Jersey urban markets, which had higher average prices than our typical product; we did not have any closings of this type of product in the fiscal 2007 period. Excluding these deliveries, the average price of homes delivered in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased 4% as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the number of homes delivered in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007, was primarily due to less backlog at October 31, 2007 as compared to October 31, 2006, which was the result of an 11% decrease in the number of new contracts signed in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

The value of net new contracts signed in the first three months of fiscal 2008 was $124.6 million, a 57% decline from the $291.6 million of net new contracts signed in the first three months of fiscal 2007. The number of net new contracts signed and the average value of each contract decreased 51% and 13%, respectively. The decline in new contracts signed in the fiscal 2008 period was primarily due to the continued slowdown in the housing market. The decline in the average sales price was primarily the result of less new contracts signed in the New York and New Jersey urban markets as several of these communities sold out in fiscal 2007. The number of contract cancellations for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, was 44 and 40, respectively.

We reported $3.7 million of income before income taxes in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.6 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2007. The increase in income was due to the recognition of a $9.0 million charge for goodwill impairment in 2007, offset in part by higher costs of revenues in 2008 as compared to 2007, and a $3.0 million decrease in income realized from unconsolidated entities in the three months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. The higher costs of revenues in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007 was primarily the result of the higher inventory impairment charges recognized and increased sales incentives given to home buyers on the homes delivered. In the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $37.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively.

Mid-Atlantic

Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2008 were lower than those for the three months ended January 31, 2007 by $81.0 million, or 24%. The decrease in revenues was attributable to a 22% decrease in the number of homes delivered (primarily in Virginia and Pennsylvania), and a 2% decrease in the average sales price of the homes delivered. The decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to less backlog at October 31, 2007 as compared to October 31, 2006. The decrease in the backlog of homes was primarily the result of a 23% decrease in the number of net new contracts signed in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 due to weak demand. The decrease in the average price of the homes delivered in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period was primarily related to higher sales incentives given in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.

The value of net new contracts signed during the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 was $130.5 million, a decrease of 37% from the $207.2 million of net new contracts signed in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The decline was due primarily to a 32% decrease in the number of net new contracts signed and an 8% decrease in the average value of each contract. The decline in the number of net new contracts signed was due primarily to continued weak demand, partially offset by lower cancellations. The number of contract cancellations decreased from 88 units in the first three months of 2007, to 43 in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. The decrease in the average value of each contract was primarily attributable to higher sales incentives in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

Income before income taxes in the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $15.9 million, a decrease of $36.6 million from the $52.5 million reported in the three months ended January 31, 2007. This decrease was attributable to lower revenues and higher cost of revenues in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period, offset in part by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, cost of revenues before interest as a percentage of revenues was 83.5% and 76.1%, respectively. The increase in the fiscal 2008 percentage was primarily the result of the higher amount of inventory impairment charges recognized as a percentage of revenues, increased sales incentives given to home buyers on the homes delivered and higher land costs as a percentage of the revenues from homes delivered. We recognized inventory impairment charges of $22.8 million and $22.9 million in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

South

Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2008 were lower than those for the three months ended January 31, 2007 by $108.5 million, or 44%. The decrease in revenues was attributable to a 30% decrease in the number of homes delivered, a reduction in percentage of completion revenues of $20.2 million and an 11% decrease in the average selling price of the homes delivered. The fiscal 2008 period includes a reversal of $6.6 million of percentage of completion revenues due to cancellations. The decrease in the number of homes delivered in the quarter ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2007 was primarily attributable to our Florida operations, where we had a lower number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2007 as compared to October 31, 2006. The decease in the average price of the homes delivered was due to higher sales incentives in Florida and an increase in closings in less expensive communities within Texas in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

For the three months ended January 31, 2008, the value of net new contracts signed was $89.4 million compared to $120.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2007, a decrease of 26%. The decline was due to a 16% decrease in the number of net new contracts signed and a 12% decrease in the average value of each contract. The decrease in the number of net new contracts signed was attributable to overall weak market conditions; in North and South Carolina, the number of net new contracts signed decreased on a combined basis by 59% while in Florida, the number of net new contracts signed increased 70%. The increase in net new contracts signed in Florida was due to the decrease in the number of cancellations from 110 in the fiscal 2007 period to 37 in the fiscal 2008 period. The number of cancellations in the region was 63 and 130 in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the average sales price was primarily due to Florida’s high-rise cancellations in the first quarter of 2008, which carried an average value per cancelled contract of $2.3 million

(eight units). Excluding Florida’s high-rise cancellations, the average value of each signed contract in the region increased slightly in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

We reported a loss before income taxes in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 of $30.2 million, as compared to income before income taxes of $56.9 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a higher cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to the fiscal 2007 period. Cost of revenues before interest as a percentage of revenues was 165.2% in the three months ended January 31, 2008, as compared to 88.1% in the comparable period in fiscal 2007. The increase in the fiscal 2008 percentage was primarily due to the higher amount of inventory impairment charges recognized and increased sales incentives given to home buyers on the homes delivered. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $116.2 million and $30.5 million, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, higher sales incentives increased cost of revenues approximately 6.0% in the fiscal 2008 period, as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

West

Revenues for the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 were lower than those for the comparable period of fiscal 2007 by $73.9 million, or 25%. The decrease in revenues was attributable to a 29% decline in the number of homes delivered, offset in part by an increase in the average price of homes delivered of 6%. The decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily attributable to the lower number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2007, as compared to October 31, 2006, partially offset by a decrease in the number of contract cancellations in the first three months of 2008 as compared to the comparable period in 2007. The increase in the average price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix in Arizona to communities with higher average selling prices.

The value of net new contracts signed in the three-month period ended January 31, 2008 of $30.6 million decreased 76% from the net new contracts signed of $129.3 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2007. The decline was primarily due to a 46% decrease in the number of net contracts and a 56% decrease in the average value of each contract signed in the 2008 fiscal period as compared to the 2007 fiscal period. The decrease in the number of net new contracts signed was primarily due to depressed market conditions. In the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, we had 107 and 178 contract cancellations, respectively. The decrease in the average value of each contract signed was attributable to the increase in sales incentives given in the three months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year and, in Arizona, in the 2008 fiscal period, the average value of the contracts cancelled exceeded the average value of the new signed contracts by 64% resulting in a much lower average value of net new contracts signed.

For the three months ended January 31, 2008, we reported a loss before income taxes of $30.2 million, compared to income before income taxes of $56.9 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2007. This decrease was attributable to lower revenues and higher cost of revenues in 2008 as compared to 2007 and a $27.8 million impairment charge in fiscal 2008 related to two unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, cost of revenues before interest as a percentage of revenues was 90.3% and 72.2%, respectively. The increase in the fiscal 2008 percentage was primarily the result of the higher amount of inventory impairment charges recognized and increased sales incentives given to home buyers on the homes delivered. We recognized inventory impairment charges of $40.9 million and $10.4 million in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The higher sales incentives increased cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue by approximately 4.0%.

Other

Other loss before income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $29.8 million, an increase of $3.8 million from the $26.0 million loss before income taxes reported for the three months ended January 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of a $9.6 million gain realized from the sale of our cable TV and broadband internet business in fiscal 2007, lower management fee income in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period, partially offset by higher interest income and lower unallocated general and administrative expenses in the fiscal 2008 period as compared to the fiscal 2007 period.

ITEM 3.	*QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK*

We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

The table below sets forth, at January 31, 2008, our debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates and estimated fair value (amounts in thousands):


	Fixed-Rate Debt						Variable-Rate Debt(a)(b)
				Weighted-Average					Weighted-Average
Fiscal Year of Maturity	Amount			Interest Rate			Amount		Interest Rate

2008	$	52,320			6.58	%	$	105,394		6.41	%
2009		23,611			6.96	%		156,489		5.44	%
2010		21,263			6.37	%		150		3.48	%

Thereafter		1,155,272			5.72	%		12,845		3.48	%
Discount		(7,409	)

Total	$	1,665,516			6.36	%	$	606,695		4.79	%

Fair value at January 31, 2008	$	1,598,205					$	606,695


(a)		We have a $1.89 billion credit facility consisting of a $1.56 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a $331.7 million term loan facility (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) with 35 banks, which extends to March 17, 2011. At January 31, 2008, interest was payable on borrowings under the revolving credit facility at 0.475% (subject to adjustment based upon our corporate debt rating and leverage ratios) above the Eurodollar rate or at other specified variable rates as selected by us from time to time. At January 31, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility, but had letters of credit of approximately $324.5 million outstanding under it. Under the term loan facility, interest is payable at 0.50% (subject to adjustment based upon our corporate debt rating and leverage ratios) above the Eurodollar rate or at other specified variable rates as selected by us from time to time. At January 31, 2008, interest was payable on the $331.7 million term loan at 4.01%.

(b)		At January 31, 2008, our mortgage subsidiary had a $125 million line of credit with three banks to fund mortgage originations. The line is due within 90 days of demand by the banks and bears interest at the banks’ overnight rate plus an agreed-upon margin. At January 31, 2008, the subsidiary had $67.6 million outstanding under the line at an average interest rate of 4.21%. Borrowings under this line are included in the fiscal 2008 maturities.

Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding at January 31, 2008, and holding the variable-rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $6.1 million per year.


ITEM 4.	*CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES*

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act 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 management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has not been any change in internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended January 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	*LEGAL PROCEEDINGS*

In January 2006, we received a request for information pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act from Region 3 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) requesting information about storm water discharge practices in connection with our homebuilding projects in the states that comprise EPA Region 3. The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has now assumed responsibility for the oversight of this matter. To the extent the DOJ’s review were to lead it to assert violations of state and/or federal regulatory requirements and request injunctive relief and/or civil penalties, we would defend and attempt to resolve any such asserted violations. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of the DOJ’s review.

On April 17, 2007, a securities class action suit was filed against Toll Brothers, Inc. and Robert I. Toll and Bruce E. Toll in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The original plaintiff, Desmond Lowrey, has been replaced by two new lead plaintiffs — The City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System and the Laborers Pension Trust Funds for Northern California. On August 14, 2007, an amended complaint was filed on behalf of the purported class of purchasers of our common stock between December 9, 2004 and November 8, 2005 and the following individual defendants, who are directors and/or officers of Toll Brothers, Inc., were added to the suit: Zvi Barzilay, Joel H. Rassman, Robert S. Blank, Paul E. Shapiro, Carl B. Marbach, Richard Braemer, and Joseph R. Sicree. The amended complaint filed on behalf of the purported class alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing various materially false and misleading statements that had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the our stock. They further allege that, during the class period, the individual defendants sold shares for a substantial gain. The purported class is seeking compensatory damages, counsel fees, and expert costs. We have responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss, challenging the sufficiency of the pleadings. There has not yet been any ruling on our motion. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against it.

A second securities class action suit was filed on September 7, 2007 in federal court in the Central District of California. In the complaint, the plaintiff, on behalf of the purported class of stockholders, alleges that our Chief Financial Officer violated federal securities laws by issuing various materially false and misleading statements and seeks compensatory damages, counsel fees and expert costs. The alleged class period is December 8, 2005 to August 22, 2007. The original plaintiff, Kathy Mankofsky, has been replaced by a new lead plaintiff — the Massachusetts Bricklayers & Masons Trust Funds. The new lead plaintiff must file an amended complaint no later than March 21, 2008. We intend to reply to it with a motion to dismiss the suit. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

Other than as set forth above, there are no proceedings required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K.

We are involved in various other claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or our financial condition.


ITEM 1A.	*RISK FACTORS*

We participate in certain joint ventures where we may be adversely impacted by the failure of the joint venture or its participants to fulfill their obligations.

We have investments and commitments to certain joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop land. These joint ventures usually borrow money to help finance their activities. In certain circumstances, the joint venture participants, including ourselves, are required to provide guarantees of certain obligations relating to the joint ventures. As a result of the continued downturn in the homebuilding industry, some of these joint ventures or their participants have or may become unable or unwilling to fulfill their respective obligations. In addition, we may not have a controlling interest in these joint ventures and, as a result, we may not be able to require these joint ventures or their participants to honor their obligations or renegotiate them on acceptable terms. If the joint ventures or their participants do not honor their obligations, we may be required to expend additional resources or suffer losses, which could be significant.

Except as set forth above, there has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 in response to Item 1A. to Part 1 of such Form 10-K.


ITEM 2.	*UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS*

(1)		On March 26, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of our common stock, par value $.01, from time to time, in open market transactions or otherwise, for the purpose of providing shares for our various employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix an expiration date for the repurchase program.

Except as set forth above, we have not repurchased any of our equity securities.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and expect that, for the foreseeable future, we will not do so. Rather, we will follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance future growth in our business and, from time to time, repurchase shares of our common stock.

The payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and any decision to pay dividends in the future will depend upon an evaluation of a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, our operating and financial condition, and any contractual limitations then in effect. In this regard, our senior subordinated notes contain restrictions on the amount of dividends we may pay on our common stock. In addition, our Credit Facility requires us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement), which restricts the amount of dividends we may pay. At January 31, 2008, under the most restrictive of these provisions, we could have paid up to approximately $1.02 billion of cash dividends.
