NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.		Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies

		Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pulte Homes, Inc. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Company”) and variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The direct subsidiaries of Pulte Homes, Inc. include Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc., Del Webb Corporation (“Del Webb”) and other subsidiaries that are engaged in the homebuilding business. Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc.’s operating subsidiaries include Pulte Home Corporation, Pulte International Corporation (“International”) and other subsidiaries that are engaged in the homebuilding business. Pulte Diversified Companies, Inc.’s former thrift subsidiary, First Heights Holding Corp, LLC (“First Heights”) is classified as a discontinued operation. The Company also has a mortgage banking company, Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), which is a subsidiary of Pulte Home Corporation.

Certain amounts previously reported in the 2005 financial statements and notes thereto were reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. The Mexico homebuilding operations, which were sold in December 2005, have been presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, all share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the Company’s two-for-one stock split effected September 1, 2005.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Land, not owned, under option agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company will provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as amended by FIN 46-R issued in December 2003 (collectively referred to as “FIN 46”), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity, the Company’s deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. Creditors of the variable interest entities have no recourse against the Company.

In applying the provisions of FIN 46, the Company evaluated all land option agreements and determined that the Company was subject to a majority of the expected losses or entitled to receive a majority of the expected residual returns under a limited number of these agreements. As the primary beneficiary under these agreements, the Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities at fair value. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company classified $59.9 million and $76.7 million, respectively, as land, not owned, under option agreements on the balance sheet, representing the fair value of land under contract, including deposits of $10.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The corresponding liability has been classified within accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the balance sheet.

Land option agreements that did not require consolidation under FIN 46 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, had a total purchase price of $7.8 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively. In connection with these agreements, the Company had deposits and advanced costs of $442 million and $431.4 million, included in other assets at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

		Allowance for warranties

Home purchasers are provided with warranties against certain building defects. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary geographically. Most warranties cover different aspects of the home’s construction and operating systems for a period of up to ten years. The Company estimates the costs to be incurred under these warranties and records a liability for the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes to the Company’s allowance for warranties are as follows ($000’s omitted):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006			2005
Allowance for warranties at beginning of period	$	112,297		$	83,397

Warranty reserves provided		33,578			24,700
Payments and other adjustments		(40,483	)		(27,651	)


Allowance for warranties at end of period	$	105,392		$	80,446

Stock-based compensation

The Company currently has several stock-based compensation plans for its employees (“Employee Plans”) and nonemployee directors (the “Director Plan”). At March 31, 2006, the Company had 31.5 million shares authorized for issuing various equity-based incentives including stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, including 11.4 million shares available for future grants.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards under the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company selected the prospective method of adoption as permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Under the prospective method, the Company recognized compensation expense on an accelerated basis over the vesting period based on the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123. Grants made prior to January 1, 2003 were accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. With the exception of certain variable stock option grants, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income for grants made prior to January 1, 2003, as all options granted in those years had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Shared Based Payments,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) was not significant and had no effect on basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all benefits of the tax deductions resulting from the exercise of share-based compensation as operating cash flows in its Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $1.4 million of excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow.

		Stock-based compensation (continued)

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to all stock based employee compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2005:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2005
Net income, as reported ($000’s omitted)	$	218,242

Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects ($000’s omitted)		5,195

Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value under SFAS 123(R) based method for all awards, net of related tax effects ($000’s omitted)		(5,323	)


Pro forma net income ($000’s omitted)	$	218,114


Earnings per share:
Basic—as reported	$	0.86

Basic—pro forma	$	0.86


Diluted—as reported	$	0.83

Diluted—pro forma	$	0.83

The Company measures compensation cost for its stock options at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation cost on the graded vesting method over the vesting period, generally four years. The graded vesting method provides for vesting of portions of the overall awards at interim dates and results in greater expense in earlier years than the straight-line method. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based awards is generally included in selling, general and administrative expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s stock option participant agreements provide continued vesting for certain retirement eligible employees who have achieved a predetermined level of service based on their combined age and years of service. For awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognized the related compensation cost ratably over the nominal vesting period. For awards granted after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company now records related compensation cost over the period through the date the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide services to earn the award.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.


	Weighted-average assumptions

In connection with stock option awards, the Company recognized compensation expense of $6.4 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $50.7 million at March 31, 2006. These costs will be expensed over a weighted average period of approximately 3.2 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $4 million and $45.6 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2006, is presented below (000’s omitted, except per share data):

Total compensation cost related to restricted stock awards not yet recognized was $87.1 million at March 31, 2006. These costs will be expensed over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years.

		New accounting pronouncements

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This new Statement amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. Due to the short period of time the Company’s servicing rights are held, generally less than four months, the Company does not expect SFAS No. 156 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has revised its guidance on SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues as of March 2006. Several Implementation Issues were revised to reflect the issuance of SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” in February 2006. SFAS No. 155 allows any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS No. 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates a prior restriction on the types of passive derivatives that a qualifying special purpose entity is permitted to hold. SFAS No. 155 is applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, though the provisions related to fair value accounting for hybrid financial instruments can also be applied to existing instruments. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 155 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (FSP 109-1). The American Jobs Creation Act, which was signed into law in October 2004, provides a 3% tax deduction on qualified domestic production activities income for 2005 and 2006. When fully phased-in, the deduction will be 9% of the lesser of “qualified production activities income” or taxable income. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction was accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109 and reduced tax expense. Tax benefits resulting from the new deduction have resulted in a reduction in the Company’s federal income tax rate.

Investments in unconsolidated entities

The Company participates in a number of joint ventures with independent third parties. Many of these joint ventures purchase, develop and/or sell land and homes in the United States and Puerto Rico. If additional capital infusions are required and approved, the Company would need to contribute its pro-rata portion of those capital needs in order not to dilute its ownership in the joint ventures.

At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $878.7 million and $882.2 million, respectively. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company’s proportionate share of its joint venture debt was approximately $294.9 million and $293.8 million, respectively, for which the Company provides limited recourse debt guarantees of approximately $292.5 million and $288.2 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company may be liable, on a contingent basis, through limited guarantees with respect to a portion of the secured land acquisition and development debt. However, the Company would not be liable other than in instances of fraud, misrepresentation or other bad faith actions by the Company, unless the joint venture was unable to perform its contractual borrowing obligations. As of March 31, 2006, the Company does not anticipate the Company will incur any significant costs under these guarantees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company made additional capital contributions to these joint ventures totaling approximately $13.5 million and received capital and earnings distributions from these entities totaling approximately $3.9 million. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $246.5 million and $301.6 million, respectively, invested in these joint ventures. These investments are included in the assets of the Company’s Homebuilding segment and are primarily accounted for under the equity method.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

In February 2006, Pulte Mortgage sold its investment in Hipotecaria Su Casita (“Su Casita”), a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. Remaining shareholders of Su Casita, who exercised their right of first refusal to acquire the shares, purchased Pulte Mortgage’s 16.7% interest for net proceeds of approximately $49.2 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $31.6 million ($19.9 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. During February 2005, 25% of the Company’s investment in the capital stock of Su Casita was redeemed for a pre-tax gain of approximately $620 thousand.

In January 2006, the Company exercised its option and acquired the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. The Company’s initial investment was made in January 2004 to secure a dedicated building supply trade base for its construction activities in Arizona and Nevada. The aggregate stepped purchase price exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed by approximately $68 million, which was recorded as goodwill. The Company accounted for its initial 50% investment under the equity method. Since January 2006, the Company has consolidated this wholly-owned subsidiary in its financial statements.

In December 2005, the Company sold substantially all of its Mexico homebuilding operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Mexico operations have been presented as discontinued operations.

In January 2005, the Company sold all of its Argentina operations, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Argentina operations were presented as discontinued operations in 2004.

Shareholders’ equity

Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase authorization in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), the Company has repurchased a total of 7,372,300 shares for a total of $227.9 million. At March 31, 2006, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase common stock aggregating $172.1 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

Overview

A summary of our operating results by business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows ($000’s omitted):


	Three Months Ended

Per share data — assuming dilution:

Income from continuing operations	$	1.01		$	.83

Income from discontinued operations		—			—


Net income	$	1.01		$	.83

		A comparison of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

•		Geographic and product mix shifts, average unit selling price increases and benefits from the ongoing initiatives to simplify processes and leverage construction costs throughout the operations contributed to increases in pre-tax income of our homebuilding business segment. Pre-tax income from homebuilding operations increased 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with the same period in the prior year.

•		Homebuilding settlement revenues increased 17% to $2.9 billion compared with the same period in the prior year. Higher revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were the result of a 7% increase in closings to 8,602 homes, combined with a 9% increase in the average home selling price to $336,000 compared with the first quarter of 2005.

•		Backlog dollars increased 9% to $7.1 billion (19,940 units) at March 31, 2006 compared with $6.5 billion (19,964 units) at March 31, 2005.

•		Pre-tax income of our financial services business segment increased $39.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with the prior year period. We recognized a one-time gain of $31.6 million from the sale of our investment in Su Casita, a Mexican mortgage banking company. Additionally, the quarter benefited from a product mix shift to more profitable loans and a more favorable interest rate environment to sell loans, compared with the same quarter in 2005.

•		The decrease in non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with the same period in the prior year, was due primarily to an increase in the amount of interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory.

Homebuilding Operations

The Homebuilding operations represent our core business. Homebuilding offers a broad product line to meet the needs of the first-time, first and second move-up, and active adult homebuyers. We conduct our operations in 53 markets, located throughout 27 states, presented geographically as follows:


		Northeast:		Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia

		Southeast:		Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee

		Midwest:		Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio

		Central:		Colorado, New Mexico, Texas

		West:		Arizona, California, Nevada

Certain operating data relating to our homebuilding operations are as follows:

Homebuilding Operations (continued)

Unit settlements increased 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to 8,602 units, over the same period in 2005. The average selling price for homes closed increased 9% to $336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005. Changes in average selling price reflect a number of factors, including changes in market selling prices and the mix of product closed during each period. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, unit net new orders decreased 11% to 10,725 units, compared with the same period in 2005. Net new orders were impacted by the closeout of several large, established communities, where the replacement communities are still in the early phases of development. In addition, rising home prices, higher interest rates, and increased resale home inventories have affected demand for new homes. Cancellation rates for the quarter were approximately 21%, compared with 16% for the same period in 2005. The dollar value of net new orders decreased 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with the same period in 2005, as selling prices remained stable or increased in many of our markets. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had 692 active selling communities, an increase of 8% from the same period in the prior year. Ending backlog, which represents orders for homes that have not yet closed, was 19,940 units at March 31, 2006. The dollar value of backlog was up 9% to $7.1 billion.

The following table presents markets that represent 10% or more of unit net new orders, unit settlements, and settlement revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Homebuilding Operations (continued)

At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our Homebuilding operations controlled approximately 356,900 and 362,600 lots, respectively. Approximately 180,900 and 173,800 lots were owned, and approximately 127,000 and 133,400 lots were under option agreements approved for purchase at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, there were approximately 49,000 and 55,400 lots under option agreements, pending approval, at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. We believe that the strength of our land supply, and our entitlement expertise, will enable us to continue opening new communities during the course of 2006 and beyond.

The total purchase price related to approved land under option for use by our Homebuilding operations at future dates approximated $6.1 billion at March 31, 2006. In addition, total purchase price related to land under option pending approval was valued at $1.8 billion at March 31, 2006. Land option agreements, which may be cancelled at our discretion, may extend over several years and are secured by deposits and advanced costs totaling $452.4 million, which are generally non-refundable.

The following table presents a summary of pre-tax income for our Homebuilding operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 ($000’s omitted):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006			2005
Home sale revenue (settlements)	$	2,888,834		$	2,462,109
Land sale revenue		25,918			24,185

Pre-tax income	$	377,583		$	359,569


Average sales price	$	336		$	307


^(a)		Homebuilding interest expense, which represents the amortization of capitalized interest, of $41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, has been included as part of homebuilding cost of sales.

Homebuilding gross profit margins from home settlements decreased to 22.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with 24.6% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily attributable to the closeout of communities that contributed higher margins replaced by new communities that are contributing lower margins which is a result of a shift in product mix offerings, increased costs associated with the purchase of land and land development, and increases in materials and labor in house costs. The decrease in homebuilding gross profit margins was partially offset by 50 basis points related to our January 2006 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. During 2005, income from this entity was recorded as equity income and had no impact on homebuilding gross profit margins.

We consider land acquisition and entitlement among our core competencies. We acquire land primarily for the construction of our homes for sale to homebuyers. We will often sell select parcels of land within or adjacent to our communities to retail and commercial establishments. On occasion, we also will sell lots within our communities to other homebuilders. Gross profits from land sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $4.8 million, compared with $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Revenues and their related gains/losses may vary significantly between periods, depending on the timing of land sales. We continue to evaluate our existing land positions to ensure the most effective use of capital. As of March 31, 2006, we had $314 million of land held for sale.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home settlement revenues declined to 9.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with 10.3% for the same period in the prior year. This improvement can be attributed to increased selling prices, our internal initiatives focused on controlling costs, and better overhead leverage from increased volume compared with the prior year period.

Homebuilding Operations (continued)

The decrease in equity income of $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with the same period in the prior year, is the result of our acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an entity that supplies and installs basic building components and operating systems. As a result of this acquisition we own 100% of this entity, which is consolidated in our financial statements. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, earnings from this investment were recorded in equity income.

Financial Services Operations

We conduct our financial services business, which includes mortgage and title operations, through Pulte Mortgage and other subsidiaries. Pre-tax income of our financial services operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $49.3 million compared with $10.1 million for the prior year period. During February 2006, we sold our investment in Su Casita, a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $31.6 million ($19.9 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, Su Casita contributed pre-tax income from operations of $700 thousand. During February 2005, 25% of our investment in the capital stock of Su Casita was redeemed for a pre-tax gain of approximately $620 thousand.

Loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased 7% to 8,091 mortgages compared with the prior year period.

The following table presents mortgage origination data for our Financial Services operations:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006		2005
Total originations:
Loans		8,091		7,592

Principal ($000’s omitted)	$	1,744,200	$	1,489,400


Originations for Pulte customers:
Loans		8,060		7,215

Principal ($000’s omitted)	$	1,736,500	$	1,427,900

Capture rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were comparable with the same quarter in the prior year at approximately 89%. Mortgage origination unit and principal volume for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased 7% and 17%, respectively, over the same period in 2005. The growth is attributable to volume increases experienced in our homebuilding business and an increase in the average loan size. Our Homebuilding customers continue to account for nearly all of our total loan production, representing almost 100% of total Pulte Mortgage unit production for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with 95% for the same period in 2005. At March 31, 2006, loan application backlog decreased to $4.1 billion compared with $4.4 billion at March 31, 2005.

Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), which generally have a lower profit per loan than fixed rate products, represented 35% of total funded origination dollars and 28% of total funded origination units for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with 52% and 47% in the prior year period, respectively. Interest only mortgages, a component of ARMs, represented 77% of ARMs origination dollars and 80% of ARMs origination units for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with 68% and 72% in the prior year period, respectively.

Excluding the gain related to the sale of Su Casita, pre-tax income increased $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared with the prior year quarter, due to an increase in origination volume and a shift in product mix to more profitable loans.

We hedge portions of our forecasted cash flow from sales of closed mortgage loans with derivative financial instruments to minimize the impact of changes in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Other non-operating

Other non-operating expenses are incurred for financing, developing and implementing strategic initiatives centered on new business development and operating efficiencies, and providing the necessary administrative support associated with being a publicly traded entity listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, these results will vary from year to year as these strategic initiatives evolve.

The following table presents a summary of other non-operating expenses ($000’s omitted):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006			2005
Net interest expense (income)	$	(1,090	)	$	13,747
Other corporate expenses, net		10,473			9,009


Loss before income taxes	$	9,383		$	22,756

We recognized $1.1 million of net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with $13.7 million of net interest expense for the same period in the prior year. This is a result of an increase of the amount of interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory along with increased interest income of approximately $1.7 million. Other corporate expenses increased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with the same period in the prior year, due to increased compensation-related expenses.

Interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is charged to home cost of sales based on the cyclical timing of our unit settlements over a period that approximates the average life cycle of our communities. Interest in homebuilding inventory increased due to increased amounts of interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory, based on our homebuilding inventory and debt levels, and is consistent with the growth of the Company. Information related to Corporate interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is as follows ($000’s omitted):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006			2005
Interest in inventory at beginning of period	$	229,798		$	223,591
Interest capitalized		56,624			40,664
Interest expensed		(41,169	)		(30,544	)

Interest in inventory at end of period	$	245,253		$	233,711


Interest incurred *	$	56,834		$	55,659


*		Interest incurred includes interest on our senior debt, short-term borrowings, and other financing arrangements and excludes interest incurred by our financial services operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our homebuilding land acquisitions, development and construction activities from internally generated funds and existing credit agreements.

At March 31, 2006, we had cash and equivalents of $121 million and $3.4 billion of senior and unsubordinated notes outstanding. Other financing included limited recourse collateralized financing totaling $17.1 million. Sources of our working capital include our cash and equivalents, our $1.66 billion committed unsecured revolving credit facility and Pulte Mortgage’s $940 million committed credit arrangements.

Our debt-to-total capitalization, excluding our collateralized debt, was approximately 35.6% at March 31, 2006, and approximately 34.7% net of cash and equivalents. We routinely monitor current operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources, including securities offerings.

Our unsecured revolving credit facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature, under which the credit facility may be increased to $2.25 billion. We have the capacity to issue letters of credit up to $1.125 billion. Borrowing availability is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding. The credit facility contains restrictive covenants, the most restrictive of which requires us not to exceed a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 60% as defined in the agreement. At March 31, 2006 we had $24.5 million outstanding under this facility.

Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of our home sales and uses its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to various committed and uncommitted credit arrangements. At March 31, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had committed credit arrangements of $940 million comprised of a $390 million bank revolving credit facility and a $550 million asset-backed commercial paper program. At March 31, 2006, Pulte Mortgage had $447 million outstanding under its committed credit arrangements.

Our income tax liability and related effective tax rate are affected by a number of factors. In 2006, our effective tax rate was 37.1% compared to 37.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2006 will be approximately 37.2%.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $396.5 million, compared with $262.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net income for both years was offset primarily by significant investments in land necessary to support the continued growth of the business.

Cash used in investing activities was $43.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with $72.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we invested approximately $65.8 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase the remaining 50% of an entity that installs basic building components and operating systems. In addition, we received cash of $49.2 million for the sale of our investment in Su Casita, a Mexico-based mortgage banking company. Also, we made $13.5 million of capital contributions to and received $1.7 million in capital distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Further, we incurred approximately $15.3 million in capital expenditures to support the growth of our business.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $441.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $373.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Proceeds from borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $60.9 million and was comprised of $24.5 million for our unsecured revolving credit facility and additional net debt incurred by our homebuilding markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the net decrease in Pulte Mortgage’s credit arrangements was approximately $446 million. Additionally, we incurred $49.7 million for stock repurchases and paid $10.3 million in dividends.

Inflation

We, and the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation also increases our financing, labor and material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass to our customers any increases in our costs through increased sales prices. To date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This new Statement amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. Due to the short period of time our servicing rights are held, generally less than four months, we do not expect SFAS No. 156 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has revised its guidance on SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues as of March 2006. Several Implementation Issues were revised to reflect the issuance of SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” in February 2006. SFAS No. 155 allows any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS No. 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates a prior restriction on the types of passive derivatives that a qualifying special purpose entity is permitted to hold. SFAS No. 155 is applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, though the provisions related to fair value accounting for hybrid financial instruments can also be applied to existing instruments. We do not expect SFAS No. 155 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Such forward-looking statements involve known risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to our business. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in our expectations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, including our President & Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our President & Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1.20 "RETIREMENT" means a severance from service from the Company and its controlled group of corporations when the Designated Employee's age (at his last birthday) plus his years of service with the Company and its controlled group of corporations total at least seventy (70). Years of service for this purpose shall be measured, in whole years only, starting from the Designated Employee's date of hire with any member of the Company's controlled group of corporations (including service preceding any stock acquisition), with the passage of each anniversary of such date of hire counting as a year of service.

This amount shall instead be distributed to the Designated Employee (or in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary) in accordance with the provisions of Article V (Payments).

To the extent that any person acquires the right to receive benefits from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor of the Company, and such person shall have no claim on, or any beneficial interest in, any assets of the Company. The Company may establish bookkeeping reserves or any funding media, including grantor trusts, to cover its obligation to make the payments contemplated under Article V (Payments), but amounts designated in such bookkeeping reserves or contained in such funding media as are established shall remain solely those of the Company and shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company until actually paid to the Designated Employee or his Beneficiary.

6.2 Funding Arrangements. It is the Company's intention that the amounts deferred under this Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. All such amounts shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of the Company and the Plan shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future. The Company may, but is not required to, deposit in a trust amounts sufficient to pay benefits under the Plan. Any trust created by the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist the Company in meeting its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the model trust as described in Revenue Procedure 92-64.

6.3 Nonforfeitability. The Designated Employee's rights to any payments under this Plan, shall at all times be nonforfeitable.

6.4 Spendthrift Provision.

6.7 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed in all respects, whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise, under the laws of the State of Michigan, except to the extent superseded by federal law.

6.8 No Employment Rights. The Designated Employee's relationship with the Company is that of an employee at will and the Company may terminate his employment with the Company at any time, with or without cause. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon the Designated Employee the right to continue in the employ of the Company as an executive or in any other capacity.

6.9 Gender and Number Construction. In all cases where they would so apply, words used in the masculine gender shall be construed to include the feminine gender, and words used in the singular shall be construed to include the plural.

Years of service for this purpose shall be measured, in whole years only, starting from the Designated Employee's date of hire with any member of the Company's controlled group of corporations (including service preceding any stock acquisition), with the passage of each anniversary of such date of hire counting as a year of service.

Such a written designation may be made at any time by a Participant and may, from time to time, be amended or revoked; provided, however, no designation, amendment or revocation thereof shall be effective if delivered to the Company after a Participant's death, unless the Company shall otherwise consent. In the absence of an effective designation of Beneficiary, or if the designated Beneficiary shall not survive a Participant, such Participant's Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the individual (or the individuals in equal shares, per capita) in the first of the following classes of successive preference beneficiaries, of which there shall be any individual surviving the Participant:

1.9 "DIRECTOR" means a member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company.

ARTICLE II
ELIGIBILITY

Each Director shall be eligible to elect to defer all or any portion of Fees earned subsequent to his election or appointment to the Board in any Deferral Year pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE III
DEFERRAL OF FEES

During the Election Period, each Director may elect, on the Election Form, that all or a portion of his Fees to be earned in a Deferral Year shall not be paid in accordance with the normal quarterly payment schedule, but shall instead be distributed to him (or in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary) in accordance with the provisions of Article V (Payments). Elections shall be in one percent (1%) increments, or such other increments as may be specified by the Company.

ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL ACCOUNT

4.1 Creation and Maintenance of Deferral Account. The Company shall establish a Deferral Account for each Participant. The portion of each Director's Fees deferred pursuant to Article III (Deferral of Fees) shall be credited to his Deferral Account as of the applicable Deferral Date. The Company may establish subaccounts within each Deferral Account for each Deferral Year. The Company shall maintain records for each Deferral Account and any subaccounts until the balance of the Deferral Account has been paid in full pursuant to Article V (Payments).

4.2 Earnings. As of each Determination Date, the balance of each Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with an amount determined by multiplying the Deferral Account balance as of the Determination Date by a percentage equal to two hundred (200) basis points over the yield, as of January 1st of that year, on U.S. Treasury Notes with a term of five (5) years. The earnings credited shall be weighted to reflect the timing of credits and payments, if any, occurring during the year then ended. On January 1st of each year, the earnings rate shall be reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to ensure that the rate is a minimum of two hundred (200) basis points over the prevailing yield on U.S. Treasury Notes with a term of five (5) years.

ARTICLE V
PAYMENTS

5.1 Deferral Periods. For any Deferral Year after the Effective Date, the Deferral Period for the subaccount established within a Participant's Deferral Account for that Deferral Year shall be the period set forth on the applicable Election Form (not to exceed eight (8) years from the Deferral Date) (the "Regular Deferral Period"). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Director's elected Deferral Period shall be overridden and end on the date of the

Director's termination of service as a Director with the Company for any reason, including Disability or death (the "Termination Deferral Period").

5.2 Payment Period. Payments made by the Company with respect to the subaccounts established within a Participant's Deferral Account for Deferral Years beginning on or after the Effective Date shall be paid over the period specified below.

(a) Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period. At the end of the Regular Deferral Period described under Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods), annual payments shall be paid over the period specified in such Participant's applicable Election Form (not to exceed eight (8) years).

(b) Payment Period For Termination Deferral Period. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3, at the end of the Termination Deferral Period described under Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods), annual payments shall be paid over the period specified in such Participant's applicable Election Form (not to exceed three (3) years).

5.3 Payment Date. Payments made in accordance with Section 5.2(a) (Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period) and Section 5.2(b) (Payment Period For Termination Deferral Period) shall be made, or commence, as soon as reasonably possible after the January 1st or July 1st that is at least six (6) months after the end of the applicable Deferral Period set forth in Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods). Annual installments shall continue to be paid thereafter on each anniversary of the first Payment Date over the period specified on the Election Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, however, in the event that a Participant dies (i) during the Deferral Period, (ii) after the end of the Deferral Period, but prior to the commencement of the payment period or
(iii) after the commencement of the payment period but before the end of his elected payment period, the balance of his Deferral Account will be paid in a lump sum to his Beneficiary on the next Payment Date after his death.

5.4 Actual Payments. Payments made by the Company with respect to a Participant's Deferral Account shall be made in cash (reduced by required tax withholdings) and, for any reason other than the Participant's death or election of a lump sum, annual payments shall be in an amount equal to a percentage of his relevant subaccount balance on the relevant Payment Date, determined by dividing the subaccount balance at the applicable Payment Date by the total remaining years of the payment term.

Examples:   A.    Assume a Participant remains a Director until the end
                  of his elected Deferral Period and elected a five
                  (5) year payment period. The Deferral Account balance
                  would be paid out as indicated below.

            B.    Assume a Participant terminates as a member of the Board
                  because of Disability and elected a two (2) year payment
                  period. The Deferral Account balance would be paid out
                  as indicated below.

            C.    Assume a Participant elected a three (3) year payment
                  period and dies after receiving his second scheduled
                  payment. The Deferral

                                 4

                  Account balance would be paid out as indicated below.

Payment Date                       Percentage of Subaccount Account Balance Paid
                                         A.                  B.              C.
First Payment Date                          20%               50%            33-1/3%
Second Payment Date                         25%              100%                50%
Third Payment Date                      33-1/3%                                 100%
Fourth Payment Date                         50%
Fifth Payment Date                         100%

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 No Trust. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or deem to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant, his Beneficiary or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires the right to receive benefits from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor of the Company, and such person shall have no claim on, or any beneficial interest in, any assets of the Company. The Company may establish bookkeeping reserves or any funding media, including grantor trusts, to cover its obligation to make the payments contemplated under Article V (Payments), but amounts designated in such bookkeeping reserves or contained in such funding media as are established shall remain solely those of the Company and shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company until actually paid to a Participant or his Beneficiary.

6.2 Funding Arrangements. It is the Company's intention that the amounts deferred under this Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. All such amounts shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of the Company and the Plan shall constitute an unsecured promise of the Company to make benefit payments in the future. The Company may, but is not required to, deposit in a trust amounts sufficient to pay benefits under the Plan. Any amounts deposited in a trust will be subject to the Company's general creditors.

6.3 Nonforfeitability. A Participant's rights to any payments under this Plan, shall at all times be nonforfeitable.

6.4 Spendthrift Provision. Benefits, payments, proceeds, claims, rights or interest of a Participant or his Beneficiary to or under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to any claims, attachments or encumbrances due to the death, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or his Beneficiary, directly or indirectly, or be subject to any claim of any creditor of the Participant or his Beneficiary, through legal process or otherwise; nor shall a Participant or his Beneficiary be able or permitted in any manner to transfer, encumber, pledge, anticipate, alienate, sell, or assign any such benefits, payments, proceeds, claims, rights or interest, contingent or otherwise.

6.5 Successors, Etc. This Plan shall be binding upon and benefit the Company and its successors, and the Participant and his Beneficiary, their heirs and personal representatives, all in accordance and subject to the terms of this Plan.

6.8 Gender and Number Construction. In all cases where they would so apply, words used in the masculine gender shall be construed to include the feminine gender, and words used in the singular shall be construed to include the plural.

6.9 Incapacity of Recipient. In the event a Participant or his Beneficiary is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person is appointed, any benefits under this Plan to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be paid to such appointed person.

6.10 Amendment and Termination of Plan. This Plan may be amended or terminated by the Company at any time with respect to amounts not yet credited to a Participant's Deferral Account; provided however, no such termination shall affect a Participant's interest in amounts previously deferred.

6.11 Interpretation. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding the Director) shall have exclusive and final authority and discretion with respect to (a) the interpretation and implementation of the terms and provisions of this Plan and (b) the adoption or amendment of such procedures or practices as it deems necessary, helpful or appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, for purposes of administering this Plan.

6.12 Procedures and Forms. The Executive Committee of the Board (excluding the Director) may establish and amend such procedures and forms as are appropriate to implement matters under this Plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused the Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officer, this ____ day of _______________, 2004, to be effective January 1, 2005.
