Your company produced record third quarterearnings, up 24% over fiscal 1999; record ninemonth earnings, up 26% over 1999; recordthird quarter revenues, up 15% and record ninemonth revenues, up 17%. Our earnings,revenues and backlog were the highest for anyquarter in our history and we produced our38th consecutive quarterly year-over-year recordfor new contracts.

Our stock price has risen recently as “themarket” has shown increased interest in ourindustry, and our company in particular. Whilewe welcome this, our price/earnings multiple asof this writing is 8.3 times IBES’ projected fiscalyear-end earnings estimate. Having producedcompound annual growth in excess of 20% onaverage for revenues and earnings over the past10 years, we hope to reach a p/e multiple moreclosely resembling that of other companies withsimilar growth.

Profit margins this quarter continued toimprove as the price increases we put into effectnine to twelve months ago are now impactingour bottom line; with ongoing strong demandfor luxury homes we have continued to raiseprices. The average delivered price of homesthis quarter was $447,000 and the average priceof homes in backlog was $492,000. This wasup approximately $50,000 compared to oneyear ago; in addition to the impact of homeprice increases, it reflects our expandingproduction in California and our increasednumber of large master planned communitiesoffering more expensive homes.

We now have ten master planned communitiesalready open or scheduled to open in thecoming year. These communities, totalingapproximately 10,000 lots, have tremendousrecreational amenities such as championshipgolf courses, country clubs and lakes. Since weoffer multiple products within thesecommunities, they are the ideal way for us toserve both move-up and empty nester luxurybuyers. We will continue to expand productionwithin these master planned communities andintend to open new ones in the future.

The overall strength of the New Englandeconomy has led us to expand into NewHampshire, our 20th state. We believe thismove, coupled with our established presence in

metro Boston and recent expansion into RhodeIsland and Northern Connecticut, will enableus to further benefit from the region’s robusteconomy and demographics.

To fuel our continuing growth, we raised anadditional $170 million from eight of the banksin our credit line through a five-year term loanthat, with their approval, can be extendedannually and can be increased to $250 million.We used $56 million of the proceeds to repaybank term debt due within one year. This newloan, coupled with our $465 million bankrevolving credit facility, of which over $320million is available, gives us access to $635million of bank capital.

In our third quarter we repurchased 557,000shares of our stock, raising to 1.56 million thenumber of shares we have repurchased in fiscalyears 1999 and 2000.

With consumer confidence high, interest ratessteady and unemployment low, it appears asthough we will have a strong luxury housingmarket in the coming year. Due to our record$1.47 billion backlog, which was up 34% overthe previous year, most of our revenues throughthe second quarter of fiscal 2001 are already inour pipeline. Based on this backlog and currenthealthy demand, we believe that fiscal 2001should be another record year.

Given our excellent results, the continuingincrease in affluent U.S. households and thedemographics of the maturing baby boomgeneration, we eagerly anticipate the future.

We greatly appreciate our shareholders’ and ourhome buyers’ support and confidence, andthank the entire Toll Brothers team for anotherextraordinary performance.

Sincerely
