<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Organization. </I></B>Meritage Homes is a leading designer and builder of single-family detached and
attached homes in the historically high-growth regions of the western and southern United States
based on the number of home closings. We offer first-time, move-up, active adult and luxury homes
to our targeted customer base. We have operations in three regions: West, Central and East, which
are comprised of 12 metropolitan areas in Arizona, Texas, California, Nevada, Colorado and Florida.
Additionally, in April&nbsp;2011, we announced our entry into a new market, Raleigh-Durham, North
Carolina. We have since contracted for several land parcels in Raleigh-Durham and expect to begin
our sales operations in latter 2011. Through our predecessors, we commenced our homebuilding
operations in 1985. Meritage Homes Corporation was incorporated in 1988 in the State of Maryland.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Our homebuilding and marketing activities are conducted under the name of Meritage Homes in
each of our markets, except for Arizona and Texas, where we also operate under the name of Monterey
Homes. At March&nbsp;31, 2011, we were actively selling homes in 141 communities, with base prices
ranging from approximately $90,000 to $620,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Basis of Presentation. </I></B>The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article&nbsp;10 of
Regulation&nbsp;S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Meritage
Homes Corporation and those of our consolidated subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in
which we have a controlling financial interest, and of variable interest entities (see Note 3) in
which we are deemed the primary beneficiary (collectively, &#147;us&#148;, &#147;we&#148;, &#147;our&#148; and &#147;the Company&#148;).
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair
presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Restricted Cash. </I></B>Restricted cash consists of amounts held in restricted accounts as collateral
for our letter of credit arrangements. The aggregate capacity of these secured letters of credit is
approximately $40&nbsp;million. These outstanding letters of credit are secured by corresponding pledges
of restricted cash accounts, totaling of $10.3&nbsp;million and $9.3&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2011 and
December&nbsp;31, 2010, respectively, and are reflected as restricted cash on our consolidated balance
sheets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Investments and Securities. </I></B>Our investments and securities are comprised of both treasury
securities and deposits with banks that are FDIC-insured and secured by treasury-backed
investments. All of our investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded at
amortized cost as we have both the ability and intent to hold them until their respective
maturities. The contractual lives of these investments are typically less than 18&nbsp;months. The
amortized cost of the investments approximates fair value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Real Estate. </I></B>Real estate is stated at cost unless the community or land is determined to be
impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value as required by Accounting
Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Subtopic 360-10, <I>Property, Plant and Equipment </I>(&#147;ASC 360-10&#148;)<I>.</I>
Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development, home construction, capitalized
interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home
construction that benefit the entire community and impairments, if any. Land and development costs
are typically allocated and transferred to homes under construction when construction begins. Home
construction costs are accumulated on a per-home basis. Cost of home closings includes the specific
construction costs of the home and all related land acquisition, land development and other common
costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred) that are allocated based upon the total number
of homes expected to be closed in each community or phase. Any changes to the estimated total
development costs of a community or phase are allocated to the remaining homes in the community or
phase. When a home closes, we may have incurred costs for goods and services that have not yet been
paid. Therefore, an accrual to capture such obligations is recorded in connection with the home
closing and charged directly to cost of sales.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Typically, a community&#146;s life cycle ranges from three to five years, commencing with the
acquisition of the land and continuing through the land development phase and concluding
with the sale, construction and closing of the homes. Actual community lives will vary based on the
size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether the land purchased was raw or finished
lots. Master-planned communities encompassing several phases and super-block land parcels may have
significantly longer lives and projects involving smaller finished lot purchases may be
significantly shorter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">All of our land inventory and related real estate assets are reviewed for recoverability
quarterly, as our inventory is considered &#147;long-lived&#148; in accordance with GAAP. Impairment charges
are recorded if the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying amount. Our determination of
fair value is based on projections and estimates. Changes in these expectations may lead to a
change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our
assumptions. Our analysis is completed on a quarterly basis at a community level with each
community or land parcel evaluated individually. For those assets deemed to be impaired, the
impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the assets&#146; carrying amount exceeds their
fair value. The impairment of a community is allocated to each lot on a straight-line basis.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Existing and continuing communities. </B>When projections for the remaining income expected to be
earned from existing communities are no longer positive, the underlying real estate assets are
deemed not fully recoverable, and further analysis is performed to determine the required
impairment. The fair value of the community&#146;s assets is determined using either a discounted cash
flow model for projects we intend to build out or a market-based approach for projects to be sold.
Impairments are charged to cost of home closings in the period during which it is determined that
the fair value is less than the assets&#146; carrying amount. If a market-based approach is used, we
determine fair value based on recent comparable purchase and sale activity in the local market,
adjusted for known variances as determined by our knowledge of the region and general real estate
expertise. If a discounted cash flow approach is used, we compute our fair value based on a
proprietary model. Our key estimates in deriving fair value under our cash flow model are (i)&nbsp;home
selling prices in the community adjusted for current and expected sales discounts and incentives,
(ii)&nbsp;costs related to the community &#151; both land development and home construction &#151; including
costs spent to date and budgeted remaining costs to spend, (iii)&nbsp;projected sales absorption rates,
reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented to stimulate the sales pace and expected
cancellation rates, (iv)&nbsp;alternative land uses including disposition of all or a portion of the
land owned and (v)&nbsp;our discount rate, which is currently 14-16% and varies based on the perceived
risk inherent in the community&#146;s other cash flow assumptions. These assumptions vary widely across
different communities and geographies and are largely dependent on local market conditions.
Community-level factors that may impact our key estimates include:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">These local circumstances may significantly impact our assumptions and the resulting
computation of fair value and are, therefore, closely evaluated by our division personnel in their
creation of the discounted cash flow models. The models are also evaluated by regional and
corporate personnel for consistency and integration, as decisions that affect pricing or absorption
at one community may have resulting consequences for neighboring communities. We typically do not
project market improvements in our discounted cash flow models, but may do so in limited
circumstances in the latter years of a long-lived community. In certain cases, we may elect to
stop development and/or marketing of (mothball)&nbsp;an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the
community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow market
conditions to improve. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics. If we
decide to mothball a project, we will impair it to its fair value as discussed above and then cease
future development and/or marketing activity until such a time where management believes that market conditions will
improve and economic performance will be maximized. Quarterly, we review all communities,
including mothballed communities, for potential impairments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Option deposits and pre-acquisition costs. </B>We also evaluate assets associated with future
communities for impairments on a quarterly basis. Using similar techniques described in the
existing and continuing communities section above, we determine if the contribution margins to be
generated by our future communities are acceptable to us. If the projections indicate that a
community is still meeting our internal investment guidelines and is generating a profit, those
assets are determined to be fully recoverable and no impairments are required. In cases where we
decide to abandon a project, we will fully impair all assets related to such project and will
expense and accrue any additional costs that we are contractually obligated to incur. In certain
circumstances, we may also elect to continue with a project because it is expected to generate
positive cash flows, even though it may not be generating an accounting profit, or due to other
strategic factors. In such cases, we will impair our pre-acquisition costs and deposits, as
necessary, to record an
impairment to bring the book value to fair value. Refer to Note 2 of these condensed
consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our impairments.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Deposits. </I></B>Deposits paid related to land options and contracts to purchase land are capitalized
when incurred and classified as deposits on real estate under option or contract until the related
land is purchased. Deposits are reclassified to a component of real estate at the time the deposit
is used to offset the acquisition price of the lots based on the terms of the underlying
agreements. To the extent they are non-refundable, deposits are charged to expense if the land
acquisition is terminated or no longer considered probable. As our exposure associated with these
non-refundable deposits is limited to the deposit amount, since the acquisition contracts typically do
not require specific performance, we do not consider the options a contractual obligation to
purchase the land. The review of the likelihood of the acquisition of contracted lots is completed
quarterly in conjunction with the real estate impairment analysis noted above and therefore, if
impaired, the deposits are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Our deposits were $10.4
million as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 and December&nbsp;31, 2010.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements &#151; Joint Ventures. </I></B>Historically, we have participated in land
development joint ventures as a means of accessing larger parcels of land and lot positions,
expanding our market opportunities, managing our risk profile and leveraging our capital base;
however, in recent years, such ventures have not been a significant avenue for us to access desired
lots. We currently have only two such active ventures. We also participate in six mortgage and
title business joint ventures. The mortgage joint ventures are engaged in, or invest in mortgage
companies that engage in, mortgage brokerage activities, and they originate and provide services to
both our clients and other homebuyers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In connection with our joint ventures, we may also provide certain types of guarantees to
associated lenders and municipalities. These guarantees can be classified into three categories:
(i)&nbsp;Repayment Guarantees, (ii) &#147;Bad Boy Guarantees&#148;, and (iii)&nbsp;Completion Guarantees, described in
more detail below (in thousands).

voluntarily file a bankruptcy or similar liquidation or reorganization action or take other actions
that limit a lender&#146;s right to exercise remedies against its collateral or which are fraudulent or
improper (commonly referred to as &#147;bad boy&#148; guarantees). These types of guarantees typically are on

partners are also typically obligated to the project lender(s) to complete construction of the land
development improvements if the joint venture does not perform the required development. Provided
we and the other joint venture partners are in compliance with these completion obligations, the
project lenders are generally obligated to fund these improvements through any financing
commitments available under the applicable joint venture development and construction loans. In
addition, we
and our joint venture partners have from time to time provided unsecured indemnities to joint
venture project lenders. These indemnities generally obligate us to reimburse the project lenders
only for claims and losses related to matters for which such lenders are held responsible and our
exposure under these indemnities is limited to specific matters such as environmental claims. As
part of our project acquisition due diligence process to determine potential environmental risks,
we generally obtain, or the joint venture entity generally obtains, an independent environmental
review. Per the guidance of ASC Subtopic 460-10, <I>Guarantees, </I>we believe these other guarantees are
either not applicable or not material to our financial results.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The joint venture obligations, guarantees and indemnities discussed above are generally
provided by us or one or more of our subsidiaries. In joint ventures involving other homebuilders
or developers, support for these obligations is generally provided by the parent companies of the
joint venture partners. In connection with our periodic real estate impairment reviews, we may
accrue for any such commitments where we believe our obligation to pay is probable and can be
reasonably estimated. In such situations, our accrual represents the portion of the total joint
venture obligation related to our relative ownership percentage. In the limited cases where our
venture partners, some of whom are homebuilders or developers who may be experiencing financial
difficulties as a result of current market conditions, may be unable to fulfill their pro rata
share of a joint venture obligation, we may be fully responsible for these commitments if such
commitments are joint and several. We continue to monitor these matters and reserve for these
obligations if and when they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Except as noted below
and in Note 11 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 and
December&nbsp;31, 2010, we did not have any such reserves. See Note 11 regarding outstanding litigation
for one of our joint ventures and corresponding reserves, some of which relate to completion
guarantees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements &#151; Other. </I></B>We often acquire lots from various development
entities pursuant to option and purchase agreements. The purchase price typically approximates the
market price at the date the contract is executed, although in light of recent economic conditions
over the last couple of years, we have been successful in renegotiating more preferential terms on
some lots we have under contract. See Note 3 for further discussion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We provide letters of credit and performance, maintenance and other bonds in support of our
related obligations with respect to option deposits and the development of our projects and other
corporate purposes. The amount of these obligations outstanding at any time varies depending on the
stage and level of our development activities. In the event a letter of credit or bond is drawn
upon, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer. We believe it is unlikely that any significant
amounts of these letters of credit or bonds will be drawn upon. The table below outlines our letter
of credit and surety bond obligations (in thousands):

and defects for closed homes. With the assistance of an actuary, we have estimated these reserves
based on the number of home closings and historical data and trends for our communities. We also
use industry averages with respect to similar product types and geographic areas in markets where
our experience is not robust enough to facilitate a meaningful conclusion. We regularly review our
warranty reserves and adjust them, as necessary, to reflect changes in trends as information
becomes available. A summary of changes in our warranty reserves follows (in thousands):

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets, and additions and adjustments to the reserves are included in cost of
home closings within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These
reserves are intended to cover costs associated with our contractual and statutory warranty
obligations, which include, among other items, claims involving defective workmanship and
materials. We believe that our total reserves, coupled with our contractual relationships and
rights with our trades and the general liability insurance we maintain, are sufficient to cover our
general warranty obligations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the first quarter of 2009, we became aware that a limited number of the homes we
constructed were exhibiting symptoms typical of defective Chinese drywall. Defective Chinese
Drywall is an industry-wide issue that has affected many homebuilders. As of March&nbsp;31, 2011, we
have confirmed that 97 homes we built in 2005 and 2006 were constructed using defective Chinese
drywall installed by subcontractors. Of those homes, 90 are located in Florida and seven are
located in the Houston, Texas area. We recently discovered the seven Houston area homes and we are
still conducting investigations to determine if other Texas homes are impacted, although it
currently appears that the exposure in Texas may be limited. As of March&nbsp;31, 2011, we have
completed the repair of 66 homes and we are in the process of repairing an additional 11 homes. The
$27.2&nbsp;million of warranty reserves we have recorded as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 includes reserves
sufficient to complete our repair of the remaining affected homes and the resulting damage related
to defective Chinese drywall. If our continuing investigations reveal other homes containing
defective Chinese drywall, it may be necessary to increase our warranty reserves. We have started
to receive and continue to seek reimbursement of the costs we have incurred or expect to incur
related to defective Chinese drywall from the manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of the
defective drywall and their insurers as well as from our general liability insurance carrier.

real estate assets is reviewed for recoverability when impairment indicators are present, as our
inventory is considered &#147;long-lived&#148; in accordance with GAAP. Due to the current economic
environment, we evaluate all of our real estate assets for impairment on a quarterly basis. ASC
360-10 requires impairment charges to be recorded if the fair value of such assets is less than
their carrying amounts. Our determination of fair value is based on projections and estimates.

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We enter into option and purchase agreements for land or lots as part of the normal course of
business. These option and purchase agreements enable us to defer acquiring properties until we
have determined whether to exercise our option to purchase. This helps reduce our financial risk
associated with land acquisitions and holdings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Based on the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance, we have concluded that when we
enter into an option or purchase agreement to acquire land or lots from an entity and pay a
non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity, or &#147;VIE&#148;, may be created because we are deemed
to have provided subordinated financial support that will absorb some or all of an entity&#146;s
expected losses if they occur. ASC 810, <I>Consolidations</I>, requires that for each VIE, we assess
whether we are the primary beneficiary by first determining if we have the ability to control the
activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. Such activities
include, but are not limited to, the ability to determine the budget and scope of land development
work, if any; the ability to control financing decisions for the VIE; the ability to acquire
additional land into the VIE or dispose of land in the VIE not under contract with Meritage; and
the ability to change or amend the existing option contract with the VIE. If we are not determined
to control such activities, we are not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If we do have
the ability to control such activities, we will continue our analysis by determining if we are
expected to absorb a potentially significant amount of the VIE&#146;s losses or, if no party absorbs the
majority of such losses, if we will benefit from potentially a significant amount of the VIE&#146;s
expected gains. If we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our
financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities as &#147;real estate not owned.&#148; The
liabilities related to consolidated VIEs are excluded from our debt covenant calculations. At March
31, 2011 and December&nbsp;31, 2010, we had $0 and $866, respectively, of assets identified as &#147;real
estate not owned&#148;.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In substantially all cases, creditors of the entities with which we have option agreements
have no recourse against us and the maximum exposure to loss in our option agreements is limited to
non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. Often, we are at risk for
items over budget related to land development on property we have under option if we are the land
developer. In these cases, we have contracted to complete development at a fixed cost
on behalf of the land owner and any budget savings or shortfalls are borne by us. Some of our
option deposits may be refundable to us if certain contractual conditions are not performed by the
party selling the lots.

covenants that require maintenance of certain minimum financial ratios, place limitations on
investments we can make and the payment of dividends and redemptions of equity, and limit the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, asset dispositions, mergers, certain investments and
creations of liens, among other items. As of and for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, we believe
we were in compliance with our covenants. The indenture for our 7.15% senior notes contains
covenants including, among others, limitations on the amount of secured debt we may incur, and
limitations on sale and leaseback transactions and mergers. The covenants contained in the 7.15%
senior notes are generally no more restrictive, and in many cases less restrictive, than the
covenants contained in the indentures for the 6.25% senior notes and 7.731% senior subordinated
notes.

Directors. The provisions of the Plans are generally consistent with the exception that the 2006
Plan allows for the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance share
awards and performance-based awards in addition to the non-qualified and incentive stock options
allowed under the 1997 Plan.

for up to 7,750,000 shares of common stock, of which 483,545 shares remain available for grant at

attract and retain qualified employees and better align the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Due to the effects of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, federal and state tax
NOLs, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits, the effective tax rates in 2011 and 2010 are not
meaningful percentages as there is no correlation between effective tax rates and the amount of
pre-tax income or losses for those periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">At March&nbsp;31, 2011 and December&nbsp;31, 2010, we have no unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse
of the statute of limitations and completion of audits for prior years. We believe that our
current income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate
any adjustments that will result in a material change. Interest and penalties are accrued on
unrecognized tax benefits and included in federal income tax expense.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In accordance with ASC 740-10, <I>Income Taxes</I>, we evaluate our deferred tax assets, including
the benefit from net operating losses (&#147;NOLs&#148;), to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
Companies must assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the
consideration of all available evidence using a &#147;more likely than not&#148; standard with significant
weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. This assessment considers, among
other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of
future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating
losses and our experience of utilizing tax credit carryforwards and tax planning alternatives.
Given the downturn in the homebuilding industry over the past several years, the degree of the
economic recession, the instability and deterioration of the financial markets, and the resulting
uncertainty in projections of our future taxable income, we recorded a full valuation allowance
against our deferred tax assets during 2008. We continue to maintain a full non-cash valuation
allowance against the entire amount of our remaining net deferred tax assets at March&nbsp;31, 2011 as
we have determined that the weight of the negative evidence exceeds that of the positive evidence
at this time, and therefore it continues to currently be more likely than not that we will not be
able to utilize all of our deferred tax assets relating to our federal and state NOL carryovers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Our future deferred tax asset realization depends on sufficient taxable income in the
carryforward periods under existing tax laws. Federal net operating loss carryforwards may be used
to offset future taxable income for 20&nbsp;years and expire in 2030. State net operating loss
carryforwards may be used to offset future taxable income for a period of time ranging from 5 to 20
years, depending on the state, and begin to expire in 2012. Deferred tax assets include
tax-effected federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. On an ongoing basis, we will
continue to review all available evidence to determine if and when we expect to realize our
deferred tax assets and NOL carryovers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">At March&nbsp;31, 2011, the income tax payable of $2.8&nbsp;million primarily consists of current state
tax accruals as well as tax and interest amounts that we expect to pay within one year for having
amended a prior-year federal tax return. The federal loss carryback period reverted back to two
years for our 2011 fiscal year and there is no available taxable income in the two-year carryback
period for us to utilize any tax loss coming out of 2011.

taxing authorities for years prior to 2006. There are no ongoing federal or state income tax audits
at this time.

would be materially reduced or potentially eliminated if the Company experienced an &#147;ownership
change&#148; as defined under IRC &#167;382. Based on the Company&#146;s analysis performed as of March&nbsp;31, 2011,
the Company does not believe that it has experienced an ownership change. As a protective measure,
our stockholders held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on February&nbsp;16, 2009 and approved an
amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that restricts certain transfers of our common stock.
The amendment helps us avoid an unintended ownership change and thereby preserve the value of our
tax benefits for future utilization.

which we define as homebuilding and land revenue less cost of home construction, commissions and
other sales costs, land development and other land sales costs and other costs incurred by or
allocated to each segment, including impairments. Each reportable segment follows the same
accounting policies described in Note 1, &#147;Organization and Basis of Presentation,&#148; to the
consolidated financial statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for
each segment may not be indicative of the results for such segment had it been an independent,
stand-alone entity. The following is our segment information (in thousands):

are covered by insurance. With respect to the majority of pending litigation matters, our ultimate
legal and financial responsibility, if any, cannot be estimated with certainty and, in most cases,
any potential losses related to those matters are not considered probable. We have reserved
approximately $11.2&nbsp;million for losses related to litigation and asserted claims where our ultimate
exposure is considered probable and the potential loss can be reasonably estimated, which is
classified within accrued liabilities, &#147;other&#148; accruals, on our March&nbsp;31, 2011 balance sheet as
discussed in Note 1 to these financial statements. Additionally, we have $27.2&nbsp;million of warranty
reserves, primarily relating to the correction of home construction defects, foundation issues and
general customer claims. Historically, most of these matters are resolved prior to litigation. We
believe that none of these matters will have a material adverse impact upon our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We, along with our joint venture partners (and their respective parent companies) in an
unconsolidated joint venture, are defendants in lawsuits initiated by the lender group regarding a
large Nevada-based land acquisition and development joint venture in which the lenders are seeking
damages on the basis of enforcement of completion guarantees and other related claims (<I>JP Morgan
Chase Bank, N.A. v. KB HOME Nevada, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Nevada (Case No.
08-CV-01711 PMP))</I>. While our interest in this joint venture is comparatively small, totaling 3.53%,
we are vigorously defending and otherwise seeking resolution of these actions. Meritage is the
only builder joint venture partner to have fully performed its obligations with respect to
takedowns of lots from the joint venture, having completed its first takedown in April&nbsp;2007 and
having tendered full performance of its second and final takedown in April&nbsp;2008. The joint venture
and the lender group rejected Meritage&#146;s tender of performance and of its second and final takedown,
and Meritage contends, among other things, that the rejection by the joint venture and the lender
group of Meritage&#146;s tender of full performance was wrongful and should release Meritage of
liability with respect to the takedown and all guarantees. We have fully impaired our investment
in this joint venture in a prior period.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In one of the ongoing lawsuits related to this venture, all members of the joint venture
participated in an arbitration regarding their respective performance obligations in response to
one of the members&#146; claims (the &#147;Focus Lawsuit&#148;). On July&nbsp;6, 2010, the arbitration decision was
issued, which denied the specific performance claim, but did award approximately $37&nbsp;million of
damages to one member on other claims. The parties involved have jointly appealed the arbitration
panel&#146;s decision (Meritage has also appealed on independent grounds) to the United States Courts of
Appeal for the Ninth Circuit, <I>Focus South Group, LLC, et al. v. KB HOME Nevada Inc, et al., (Case
No.&nbsp;10-17562)</I>, and the case is pending. We believe our potential share of the award, if any, will
not be material to our financial position. Our existing legal reserves cover the expected claim.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Additionally, certain lenders in the lender group filed a Chapter&nbsp;11 involuntary bankruptcy
petition against the joint venture in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, (<I>JP
Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. v. South Edge, LLC (Case No.&nbsp;10-32968-bam)</I>)<I>. </I>On February&nbsp;3, 2011, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order for relief and appointed a trustee to manage the ongoing
operations of the venture. It is anticipated that the lender group may try to use the bankruptcy
filing as a means to trigger springing repayment guarantees of the members. Meritage will
vigorously contest any such action and demand. While all members believe they have potential
offsets and defenses to prevent or minimize enforcement of the springing repayment guarantees,
Meritage has additional defenses (that are not available to the other members) because it is the
only member that tendered full performance to the lender group and believes this fact will operate
to prevent enforcement of the springing repayment guarantee against Meritage. The initial balance
of the loan with the springing guarantees was $585&nbsp;million and as of March&nbsp;31, 2011, the
outstanding principal balance was approximately $328&nbsp;million, of which our potential maximum pro
rata exposure would be $11.6&nbsp;million. While, for the reasons noted above, we do not believe that a
full repayment of this obligation is probable, we have recorded a legal reserve in an amount we
believe represents the most probable exposure for legal and settlement costs. This reserve is in
addition to a reserve we have established for our estimated share of legal and settlement costs
relating to the Focus Lawsuit. Although the final disposition of these suits and related actions,
claims and demands remains uncertain, we do not, at this time, anticipate outcomes that will have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the first quarter of 2011, the spring selling season produced weaker sales results than
was generally anticipated. Homebuilders continue to be negatively impacted by a slow sales pace
after the expiration of the federal home-buyer tax credit program in April&nbsp;2010. Although some
economic indicators have started to improve, such as the oversupply of inventory homes &#151; while
still inflated &#151; dropped to less than half of 2010 levels, and unemployment rates decreasing, we
believe that until unemployment rates and inventory levels further decline and the pace of
foreclosures decreases significantly, consumer confidence and housing demand will not improve
substantially. We have had some indications that the homebuilding cycle may have reached a bottom
and certain of our markets are experiencing positive operational results, but we do not know when
or at what pace the national recovery will gain momentum.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Summary Company Results</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">As noted above, our results for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 reflect the challenging sales
environment the homebuilding industry has experienced after the homebuyer tax credit expiration in
the second quarter of 2010. Additionally, the uneven economic environment, weak consumer demand,
and low December&nbsp;2010 backlog contributed to the decline in our operational results for the first
three months of 2011 as compared to the results of the same period a year ago. While we
experienced decreases in our year-over-year results, we did recognize sequential increases in
sales, sales pace and backlog from the fourth quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011,
partially due to the seasonal increases in sales traditionally experienced during the first half of
the year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Total home closing revenue was $177.5&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011,
decreasing 11.5% from the same period last year, as our low beginning backlog numbers translated
into fewer closings in the first three months of the year. We reported net loss of $6.7&nbsp;million for
the three-month period ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 as compared to net income of $2.7&nbsp;million for the same
period in 2010. Our 2010 income was almost fully attributed to the benefit of a $2.4&nbsp;million gain
from a legal settlement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">At March&nbsp;31, 2011, our backlog of $244.9&nbsp;million reflects a decrease of 31.1% or $110.5
million when compared to the backlog at March&nbsp;31, 2010. The 2010 backlog numbers benefitted from
elevated sales as a result of the federal homebuyer tax credit program. Sales have been slow to
regain strength; however, the 840 sales units in the first three months of 2011 is our highest
quarter of sales since the expiration of the tax credit program. In the first quarter of 2011, our
cancellation rate on sales orders remained relatively flat at 17% of gross orders as compared to
18% in the same period a year ago.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Additionally, we are evaluating opportunities for expansion into new markets that have been less
impacted by the homebuilding downturn over the past several years. We are looking to redeploy our
capital into projects that present better opportunities to produce higher margins, both within our
geographic footprint and through entry into new markets. As a result, in April&nbsp;2011 we announced
our entry into the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Despite the progress we have made with these initiatives, we recorded a net loss for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011. The net loss is reflective of the lower volume of homes delivered,
due primarily to our lower starting backlog and the continued weakness of the homebuilding market.
We continue to believe that many of our communities, particularly our newer acquisitions, are
located in highly-sought after markets that compete well in the marketplace. In these locations,
we believe the value and desirability of the community and our product differentiation strategies
will allow us to maintain our pricing and improve absorptions, lessening the impact of the current
economic conditions. In the first quarter of 2011, we opened 13 new communities while closing out
23 older communities, ending the quarter with 141 active communities. Based on the volume of new
communities in our pipeline, we expect to reach at least 150 actively selling communities by June
30, 2011. We continue to believe in the long-term viability of the domestic homebuilding market
and that builders with in-depth industry expertise and successful business and operational
strategies will benefit when the housing market recovers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Operating Results</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Companywide. </I>Home closing revenue for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 decreased $23.1
million or 11.5% when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the 16.1% or
130 unit decrease in closings, partially offset by an increase in average sales price of 5.5%, to
$261,800. The 224 sales unit decrease for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 over the prior year
period was also partially offset by average sales price increases of 4.1%, or $10,300. These
increases in average sales prices reflect the higher prices earned by our new closer-in
communities, particularly in Arizona, Colorado and Florida, while the declines in closings and
sales units continue to highlight the difficult environment after the expiration of the federal
homebuyer tax credit last year and the weaker-than-anticipated spring selling season in the first
quarter of 2011. The overall year-over-year sales declines resulted in a decrease to our backlog of
411 units, down to 940 homes as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 as compared to 1,351 homes at March&nbsp;31, 2010. Our
sales and backlog were also impacted by the 3.3% decrease in our average actively-selling community
count in the period as compared to 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>West. </I>In the first quarter of 2011, home closings in our West Region decreased 50 units or
39.4%, for total revenue of $24.2&nbsp;million, a $17.3&nbsp;million decrease as compared to 2010. The
Region&#146;s results were primarily driven by the weak performance of our California markets, which
decreased 43 units and a corresponding $15.9&nbsp;million of closing revenue. Results in California
reflect both the reduced volume of closings and the decrease in average sales price of
$11,700 per home, our only state to experience a decrease in average sales price. The decrease in
average sales price is largely attributable to an increase in closing aged spec homes in Northern
California as well as some price concessions in selected slow-moving and close-out communities.
Sales in the first quarter of 2011 dropped 32.1% to $31.2&nbsp;million on 97 units as compared to $45.9
million on 140 units in the same quarter of last year, due to weak buyer demand. The decreases in
recent sales activity led to a 39-unit, or 33.6%, decrease in our ending backlog as of March&nbsp;31,
2011 versus 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Central. </I>In the first quarter of 2011, home closings in our Central Region decreased 96 units,
or 15.3%, partially offset by an 8.7% increase in average sales price, for total revenue of $132.4
million, an 8.0% or $11.5&nbsp;million decrease compared to the first quarter of 2010. The slower sales
pace in most of our Arizona and Texas communities led to the Region&#146;s 30.8% decline in ending
backlog to 776 units with a value of $194.4&nbsp;million as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 compared to $281.7&nbsp;million
as of March&nbsp;31, 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Although Texas remained our strongest market in the Region, during the first quarter of 2011
it experienced a 22.2% decrease in sales units, due largely to its 14.4% decrease in average active
communities for the same period as compared to the prior year. The decrease in active communities
is a result of scheduled closings of our older Texas communities. Arizona volumes were also
impacted by the softening markets as recent housing demand remains weak, with 24.4% and 36.1%
reductions in units closed and sold, respectively; however, the shift to newer, closer-in
communities that have higher average sales prices contributed to a 24.5%, or $49,600 increase in
average sales price per home, which nearly offset the unit declines. The successful acquisition of
new land positions in Colorado also contributed to the Region&#146;s performance, providing positive
operational results to offset the Region&#146;s overall declines. Colorado contributed 49 closings and
$15.6&nbsp;million of associated revenue, an 81.3% revenue increase over the same period a year ago.
Colorado was our only state that experienced increases in sales volume in the first quarter of 2011
as compared to 2010, with a 76.8% increase in orders dollars and a 73.2% increase in order units,
largely due to the 38.5% increase in average community count in well-positioned and desirable
sub-markets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>East. </I>In the first quarter of 2011, home closings in our East Region increased 16 units, for
total revenue of $20.9&nbsp;million, a 37.3% increase in home closing revenue as compared to the first
quarter of 2010. The closing revenue increase also benefitted from an average sales price increase
of $17,600. The Region&#146;s orders held steady at 77 units for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, with
a $14,300 increase in average sales price. The average price increases are attributed to both the
success of new communities opened over the past several quarters that are delivering a high volume
of sales and closings, as well as the Region&#146;s introduction of larger product offerings in select
locations. The Region&#146;s incremental closings, coupled with flat sales, resulted in a decrease in
ending backlog of 26 units, or $6.4&nbsp;million, partially offset by an increase in average sales
prices of $11,900, or 4.2%. As one of the first challenged markets at the start of the downturn,
the Region&#146;s current community supply is primarily comprised of well-located lots purchased in the
last several years at depressed pricing, and we believe the low lot basis and the desirability of
their location has helped the overall performance of this Region to a greater extent than most of
our other markets.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Companywide. </I>Home closing gross profit represents home closing revenue less cost of home
closings. Cost of home closings include land and lot development costs, direct home construction
costs, an allocation of common community costs (such as model complex costs, common community and
recreation areas and landscaping, and architectural, legal and zoning costs), interest, sales tax,
impact fees, warranty, construction overhead, closing costs and impairments, if any.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Home closing gross profit decreased to a margin of 17.1% for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011
as compared to 18.9% for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2010. Excluding impairments, gross margins
were 17.5% and 19.2% for the quarters ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease of
pre-impairment gross margins from 2010 is, to a large extent, due to a combination of the reduced
operating leverage as a result of the 130 fewer units being delivered, continued weakness in demand in our
markets and a larger volume of closings of aged spec homes in 2011 versus 2010. We provide gross
margins excluding impairments &#151; a non-GAAP term &#151; as we use it to evaluate our performance and
believe it is a widely-accepted financial measure by users of our financial statements in analyzing
our operating results and provides comparability to similar calculations by our peers in the
homebuilding industry.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>West. </I>Our West Region home closing gross profit decreased to a margin of 13.0% for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 from 18.4% in the same period of 2010. Excluding impairments, the gross
margins in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 were 13.8% and 18.6%, respectively. California and
Nevada continue to be two of the most difficult markets in the country; as a result, additional
price concessions were offered in select communities to generate sales. To a lesser extent, the
decrease in our average selling price of 3.8% along with reduced operating leverage from 50 fewer
closings also impacted the pre-impairment gross margin decrease in this Region. Although our
California land positions are mostly comprised of post-2008 land purchases, the northern half of
the state has experienced weaker results over the past few quarters than was originally anticipated for
these newer communities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Central. </I>The Central Region&#146;s 17.0% home closing gross margin for the three months ended March
31, 2011 decreased from 18.7% in the same period of 2010. The decrease is primarily due to weaker
demand and to lower margins achieved on aged spec closings, which increased 6.0% year over year.
Excluding impairments, gross margins would have been 17.3% and 19.1% for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Commissions and other sales costs are comprised of internal and external commissions and
related sales and marketing expenses such as advertising and sales office costs. As a percentage of
home closing revenue, these costs held consistent at 8.6% for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011
and 2010, as we were able to reduce these costs in line with our revenue decline, a total decrease
of $1.9&nbsp;million. We continue with our efforts of regionalizing and nationalizing marketing
campaigns in order to gain efficiencies and reduce cost, as well as reduce the number of models and
related overhead at our model complexes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>General and Administrative Expenses</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">General and administrative expenses represent corporate and divisional overhead expenses such
as salaries and bonuses, occupancy, public company expenses, insurance and travel expenses. General
and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent at $15.1&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2011 as
compared to $14.7&nbsp;million in the prior year. Due to the decline in revenue, these expenses were
8.5% of total revenue for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, as compared to 7.3% for the same
period in 2010. We remain focused on cost control by reducing overhead and consolidating functions
at both the regional and corporate levels.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Interest Expense</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Interest expense is comprised of interest incurred but not capitalized on our senior and
senior subordinated notes. For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, our non-capitalizable
interest expense was $8.0&nbsp;million as compared to $8.3&nbsp;million for the same period in the prior
year. We expect our eligible assets under construction to remain below our debt balance for the
remainder of 2011, and therefore, we will continue to incur interest charges for the rest of the
year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Other Income, Net</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Other income, net primarily consists of (i)&nbsp;interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents,
investments and marketable securities, (ii)&nbsp;sub lease income, (iii)&nbsp;forfeited deposits from
potential homebuyers who cancelled their purchase contract with us, and (iv)&nbsp;legal settlements.
The $3.2&nbsp;million decrease in other income in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same
period last year is related to the partial recognition of cash and certain assets awarded to us in
connection with a legal settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, we reported an effective tax rate of (3.3)%
compared to (4.4)% for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010. The change in our tax rate is
primarily attributable to the Texas franchise tax on our gross margin.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011 were operating
expenses, home construction, the payment of routine liabilities, and the acquisition of new lot
positions. We used funds generated by operations to meet our short-term working capital
requirements. Throughout the challenging and extended downturn in the housing market, we have
focused on generating cash by exiting certain markets and land positions and improving margins in
our homebuilding operations. These efforts have in turn helped us to weather the storm of the
prolonged downturn while maintaining a strong balance sheet and keeping us poised for future
growth.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Cash flows for each of our communities depend on their stage of the development cycle, and can
differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require
significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, plat and other approvals, and construction of model
homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a
component of our inventory and not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes,
we incur significant cash outlays prior to recognition of earnings. In the later stages of a
community, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement
purposes, as the cash outflow associated with home and land construction was previously incurred.
From a liquidity standpoint, we are currently actively acquiring lots in our markets to maintain
and start to grow our lot supply and active community count, replacing older communities that are
near close-out and acquiring communities in locations we deem key to our success. Accordingly, on a
go-forward basis, as demand for new homes improves and we begin to expand our business, we expect
that cash outlays for land purchases may exceed our cash generated by operations. During the first
three months of 2011, we closed 678 homes, we purchased about 888 lots for $40.0&nbsp;million, and we
started about 747 homes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We exercise strict controls and believe we have a prudent strategy for Company-wide cash
management, particularly as related to cash outlays for land and inventory acquisition and
development. We ended the first quarter with $387.7&nbsp;million of cash and cash equivalents,
investments and securities, and restricted cash. As we have no bond maturities until 2015, we
intend to generate cash from the sale of our inventory, but we plan to redeploy that cash to
acquire well-positioned lots that represent opportunities to generate more normal margins.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In addition to expanding our business in existing markets, we continue to look into
opportunities to expand outside of our existing markets. In April&nbsp;2011, we announced our entry
into the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina market. We have since contracted for several land parcels
in Raleigh-Durham and expect to begin sales operations in latter 2011. This opportunity
expands our footprint beyond our current six states and into a new market with positive growth
potential. The Raleigh-Cary market was ranked as the Number 1 healthiest homebuilding market for
2011 by Hanley Wood Market Intelligence, and the neighboring Durham-Chapel Hill market ranked Number 3.
Entry into the Raleigh-Durham area offers us growth opportunities based on a number of positive

homebuilding markets and our existing capital structure. We believe that we currently have strong
liquidity. Nevertheless, we may seek additional capital to strengthen our liquidity position,
enable us to opportunistically acquire additional land inventory in anticipation of improving
market conditions, and/or strengthen our long-term capital structure. Such additional capital may
be in the form of equity or debt financing and may be from a variety of sources. There can be no
assurances that we would be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at
all, and such additional equity or debt financing could dilute the interests of our existing
stockholders or increase our interest costs.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We typically experience seasonal variations in our quarterly operating results and capital
requirements. Historically, we sell more homes in the first half of the fiscal year than in the
second half, which creates additional working capital requirements in the second and third quarters
to build our inventories to satisfy the deliveries in the second half of the year.
We expect this seasonal pattern to continue, although it may be affected by continued
uncertainty in the homebuilding industry as demonstrated over the past several quarters,
particularly in light of the weak 2011 spring selling season. Accordingly, we do not expect our
operating results for the first three months of 2011 to be an indicator of our operations the
remainder of the year.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In passing the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (&#147;PSLRA&#148;), Congress encouraged
public companies to make &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; by creating a safe-harbor to protect
companies from securities law liability in connection with forward-looking statements. We intend to
qualify both our written and oral forward-looking statements for protection under the PSLRA.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; and
&#147;project&#148; and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date the statement was made. All statements we make other than statements of historical fact are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly
Report include statements concerning our perceptions that the homebuilding cycle may have reached a
bottom; management estimates regarding future impairments and joint
venture exposure, including our exposure to joint ventures that are in default of their debt
agreements; whether certain guarantees relating to our joint ventures will be triggered and our
belief that reimbursements due from lenders to our joint ventures will be repaid; expectations
regarding our industry and our business in 2011 and beyond, and that we expect our cash outlays for
land purchases may exceed our cash generated by operations as we expand our business; the demand
for and the pricing of our homes; our land and lot acquisition strategy (including that we will
redeploy cash to acquire well-positioned finished lots and that we may participate in joint
ventures or opportunities outside of our existing markets if opportunities arise); the sufficiency
of our warranty reserves; demographic and other trends related to the homebuilding industry in
general; the future supply of housing inventory; our expectation that existing guarantees, letters
of credit and performance and surety bonds will not be drawn on; the adequacy of our insurance
coverage and warranty reserves; the expected outcome of legal proceedings (including tax audits) we
are involved in; the sufficiency of our capital resources to support our business strategy; our
ability and willingness to acquire land under option or contract; the future impact of deferred tax
assets or liabilities; the impact of new accounting standards and changes in accounting estimates;
trends and expectations concerning sales prices, sales orders, cancellations, construction costs
and gross margins and future home inventories; our future cash needs; the expected vesting periods
of unrecognized compensation expense; trends and expectations relating to our community count and
lot inventory; the extent and magnitude of our exposure to defective Chinese drywall and the sufficiency
of our reserves relating thereto; the timing of our commencement of sales operations in Raleigh-Durham; the
sufficiency of our reserves and our support for our uncertain tax filings positions; the portion of
our total interest costs that will be capitalized versus expensed as incurred; our intentions
regarding the payment of dividends; the impact of seasonality; and our future compliance with debt
covenants.

materially from those in forward-looking statements, and that could negatively affect our business
include: weakness in the homebuilding market resulting from the current economic downturn; interest
rates and changes in the availability and pricing of residential mortgages; adverse changes in tax
laws that benefit our homebuyers; the ability of our potential buyers to sell their existing homes;
cancellation rates and home prices in our markets; inflation in the cost of materials used to
construct homes; the adverse effect of slower sales absorption rates; potential write-downs or
write-offs of assets, including pre-acquisition costs and deposits; our potential exposure to
natural disasters; the liquidity of our joint ventures and the ability of our joint venture
partners to meet their obligations to us and the joint venture; competition; the success of our
strategies in the current homebuilding market and economic environment; the adverse impacts of
cancellations resulting from small deposits relating to our sales contracts; construction defect
and home warranty claims; our success in prevailing on contested tax positions; the impact of
deferred tax valuation allowances and our ability to preserve our operating loss carryforwards; our
ability to obtain performance bonds in connection with our development work; the loss of key
personnel; our failure to comply with laws and regulations; the availability and cost of materials
and labor; our lack of geographic diversification; inflation in the cost of materials used to
construct homes; fluctuations in quarterly operating results; the Company&#146;s financial leverage and
level of indebtedness; our ability to take certain actions because of restrictions contained in the
indentures for the Company&#146;s senior and senior subordinated notes and our ability to raise
additional capital when and if needed; our credit ratings; successful integration of future
acquisitions; government regulations and legislative or other initiatives that seek to restrain
growth or new housing construction or similar measures; acts of war; the replication of our &#147;Green&#148;
technologies by our competitors; and other factors identified in documents filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in our Form 10-K for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010 under the caption &#147;Risk Factors.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking
statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions
concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from
those projected. Due to these inherent uncertainties, the investment community is urged not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In addition, we undertake no obligations to
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of
unanticipated events or changes to projections over time. As a result of these and other factors,
our stock and note prices may fluctuate dramatically.

circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay our fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as
a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on

increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates may negatively
affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could
adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and net income and would also increase our variable
rate borrowing costs. We do not enter into, or intend to enter into, derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, we have developed and implemented
disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of
the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the &#147;Evaluation Date&#148;). Based on such evaluation,
management has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in ensuring that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC&#146;s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We are involved in various routine legal and regulatory proceedings, including claims and
litigation alleging construction defects. In general, the proceedings are incidental to our
business, and some are covered by insurance. With respect to the majority of pending litigation
matters, our ultimate legal and financial responsibility, if any, cannot be estimated with
certainty and, in most cases, any potential losses related to these matters are not considered
probable. At March&nbsp;31, 2011, we had approximately $11.2&nbsp;million in accrued legal and settlement
costs relating to claims for which we believe it is probable that we will be required to incur
costs and where the potential expenditure can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, $27.2&nbsp;million
of warranty costs are reserved for warranty and construction defect litigation claims where our
ultimate exposure is considered probable and where the potential expenditure can be reasonably
estimated. Historically, most warranty claims and disputes are resolved prior to litigation. We
believe there are not any pending matters that could have a material adverse impact upon our
consolidated financial condition, our results of operations, our cash flows or our consolidated
financial condition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Joint Venture Litigation</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We, along with our joint venture partners (and their respective parent companies) in an
unconsolidated joint venture, are defendants in lawsuits initiated by the lender group regarding a
large Nevada-based land acquisition and development joint venture in which the lenders are seeking
damages on the basis of enforcement of completion guarantees and other related claims (<I>JP Morgan
Chase Bank, N.A. v. KB HOME Nevada, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Nevada (Case No.
08-CV-01711 PMP))</I>. While our interest in this joint venture is comparatively small, totaling 3.53%,
we are vigorously defending and otherwise seeking resolution of these actions. Meritage is the
only builder joint venture partner to have fully performed its obligations with respect to
takedowns of lots from the joint venture, having completed its first takedown in April&nbsp;2007 and
having tendered full performance of its second and final takedown in April&nbsp;2008. The joint venture
and the lender group rejected Meritage&#146;s tender of performance of its second and final takedown,
and Meritage contends, among other things, that the rejection by the joint venture and the lender
group of Meritage&#146;s tender of full performance was wrongful and should release Meritage of
liability with respect to the takedown and all guarantees. We have fully impaired our investment
in this joint venture in a prior period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In one of the ongoing lawsuits related to this venture, all members of the joint venture
participated in an arbitration regarding their respective performance obligations in response to
one of the members&#146; claims (the &#147;Focus Lawsuit&#148;). On July&nbsp;6, 2010, the arbitration decision was
issued, which denied the specific performance claim, but did award approximately $37&nbsp;million of
damages to one member on other claims. The parties involved have jointly appealed the arbitration
panel&#146;s decision (Meritage has also appealed on independent grounds) to the United States Courts of
Appeal for the Ninth Circuit, <I>Focus South Group, LLC, et al. v. KB HOME Nevada Inc, et al., (Case
No.&nbsp;10-17562)</I>, and the case is pending. We believe our potential share of the award, if any, will
not be material to our financial position. Our existing legal reserves cover the expected claim.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Additionally, certain lenders in the lender group filed a Chapter&nbsp;11 involuntary bankruptcy
petition against the joint venture in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, (<I>JP
Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. v. South Edge, LLC (Case No.&nbsp;10-32968-bam)</I>)<I>. </I>On February&nbsp;3, 2011, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order for relief and appointed a trustee to manage the ongoing
operations of the venture. It is anticipated that the lender group may try to use the bankruptcy
filing as a means to trigger springing repayment guarantees of the members. Meritage will
vigorously contest any such action and demand. While all members believe they have potential
offsets and defenses to prevent or minimize enforcement of the springing repayment guarantees,
Meritage has additional defenses (that are not available to the other members) because it is the
only member that tendered full performance to the lender group and believes this fact will operate
to prevent enforcement of the springing repayment guarantee against Meritage. The initial balance
of the loan with the springing guarantees was $585&nbsp;million and as of March&nbsp;31, 2011, the
outstanding principal balance was approximately $328&nbsp;million, of which our potential maximum pro
rata exposure would be $11.6&nbsp;million. While, for the reasons noted above, we do not believe that a
full repayment of this obligation is probable, we have recorded a legal reserve in an amount we
believe represents the most probable exposure for legal and settlement costs. This reserve is in
addition to a reserve we have established for our estimated share of legal and settlement costs
relating to the Focus Lawsuit. Although the final disposition of these suits and related actions,
claims and demands remains uncertain, we do not, at this time, anticipate outcomes that will have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage has been named as a defendant in the pending Multi-District Litigation in the United
States District Court, New Orleans, Louisiana by 17 Florida homeowners whose homes are alleged to
contain defective Chinese drywall. Meritage has received a repair work authorization
and release from 10 of those homeowner plaintiffs. Meritage has also been named as a defendant in
a recent Omnibus Complaint filed in the Multi-District Litigation, but not yet served on Meritage,
by two Texas homeowners whose homes are alleged to contain defective Chinese drywall. Lastly,
Meritage has been named as a defendant in a pending claim in the Lee County, Florida Circuit Court
by one Florida homeowner, who is also among the plaintiffs in the Multi-District Litigation
referenced above. Meritage anticipates imminent completion of an agreement with this Florida
homeowner, after which the Lee County Circuit Court case will be dismissed in its entirety. Among
the nine homeowner plaintiffs with whom Meritage does not yet have a repair work authorization and
release, their claims allege a variety of property and personal injury damages and seek legal and
equitable relief, medical monitoring and legal fees. The remaining Chinese drywall warranty
reserves Meritage has accrued as of March&nbsp;31, 2011 include costs associated with the repair of
these and other homes affected by defective Chinese drywall.
