&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On a prospective basis, we will add
comparative disclosures for the dollar amount of sold and unsold
inventory and
contract land
deposits on a net basis, and if material, the dollar amount of inventory impairments presented on a sold and unsold
basis. Further, we would continue to disclose
that we evaluate the entire net contract land deposit portfolio for
impairment each quarter. We will also
comparatively disclose on a reportable segment basis the total number of lots that we continue to
control, as well as the number of lots associated with the contract land deposit reserve, both as
of the end of the reporting period, so that investors can see by reportable segment the number of
&#147;at risk&#148; lots remaining. These additional disclosures will be made consistent with the format in
the revised proforma disclosure from our 2009 first quarter Form&nbsp;10Q, as follows (new items bolded,
amounts left blank):

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homebuilding profit before tax includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of
homes, less the cost of homes sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, and a corporate
capital allocation charge determined at the corporate headquarters. The corporate capital
allocation charge eliminates in consolidation, is based on the segment&#146;s average net assets
employed, and is charged using a consistent methodology in the periods presented. The corporate
capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker, as
defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;131, &#147;Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information,&#148; to determine whether the operating segment&#146;s results are
providing the desired rate of return after covering our cost of capital. We record charges on
contract land deposits when we determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is
impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are charged to the
operating segment upon the determination to terminate a finished lot purchase agreement with the
developer or to restructure a lot purchase agreement resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit.
<B>Due to the current homebuilding industry downturn, we are evaluating our entire net contract land
deposit portfolio for impairment each quarter. For additional information regarding our contract
land deposit impairment analysis, see the </B><B><I>Critical Accounting Policies </I></B><B>section within this
Management Discussion and Analysis. For presentation purposes below, the contract land deposit
reserve at March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, has been allocated to the reportable segments to
show contract land deposits on a net basis. The net contract land deposit balances below also
includes $5,081 and $8,206 at March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of letters of credit issued as
deposits in lieu of cash. </B>The following tables summarize certain homebuilding operating activity
by segment for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008:

    <TD>The mortgage segment is required to enter into collateral bonding

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that NVRM will continue to easily satisfy the minimum requirement under the
repurchase agreement for the following reasons:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, as noted in our original response, our homebuilding operations have remained profitable
throughout the current downturn and we expect to remain profitable. In parallel with the
homebuilding operations, NVRM, which almost exclusively serves our homebuilding customers, has also
remained profitable, and we believe that it will also continue to be profitable, the results of
which will be accretive to NVRM&#146;s consolidated equity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, because NVRM is a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary, we control the level of NVRM&#146;s
invested capital. Consistent with our &#147;asset light&#148; philosophy, we leave only a minimum level of
capital in the mortgage segment to satisfy regulatory and debt covenant requirements, and
historically we have transferred NVRM&#146;s excess cash to NVR on a monthly basis in the form of
dividends (i.e., $17.5&nbsp;million during fiscal year 2008 and an additional $2.0&nbsp;million during the
first quarter of 2009). However, if the level of NVRM&#146;s consolidated equity dropped due to an
unexpected drop in profitability,

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">we would suspend the practice of drawing dividends from NVRM and therefore maintain their
capital account at required levels. Further, under our working capital facility, at March&nbsp;31,
2009, we had the ability to make capital injections to NVRM of approximately $400&nbsp;million, and with
our combined cash and marketable securities balance of approximately $1.2&nbsp;billion as of the same
date, we have ample liquidity to do so, if necessary. Therefore, we will be able to actively
manage NVRM&#146;s invested capital to be in compliance with NVRM&#146;s minimum adjusted tangible net worth
requirement.
