<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a leading designer and builder of single-family attached and detached homes based on the number of home closings. We build in the
historically high-growth regions of the western and southern United States and offer a variety of homes that are designed to appeal to a wide range of homebuyers, including first-time, move-up, active adult and luxury. We have operations in three
regions: West, Central and East, which are comprised of seven states: Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina. These three regions are our principal business segments. In 2011, we entered the Raleigh, North Carolina
market and announced our expansion within Florida into the Tampa market as well as the wind-down of our operations in Nevada. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our homebuilding and marketing activities are conducted primarily under the Meritage Homes brand, except in Arizona and Texas, where we
also operate under the name Monterey Homes. At March&nbsp;31, 2012, we were actively selling homes in 150 communities, with base prices ranging from approximately $105,000 to $683,000. </FONT></P>

backlog year over year.&nbsp;Aided by a higher beginning backlog at the start of 2012 and coupled with increased orders in the first three months, we believe our first quarter results are indicative of increased demand and consumer confidence, which
should translate into higher profitability throughout the year.&nbsp;As interest rates and selling prices are still attractively low and while our current operating results indicate a recovering and stronger housing market, we recognize that we are
still operating in a volatile economic environment and are cautiously optimistic about our future operational outlook.&nbsp;We believe the housing market will continue to gradually strengthen to the extent the overall economy continues to improve.
</FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Total home closing revenue was $204.0 million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012, increasing 14.9% from the
same period last year. The increase in closings of 81 units was further aided by a 2.7% increase in average sales price of $7,000. We reported net loss of $4.8 million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012, as compared to net loss of $6.7
million for the same period in 2011. Although closings increased over the prior year, we did not generate sufficient closing volume and gross profit to fully cover our overhead costs.&nbsp;Our first quarter closings are typically our lowest due to
seasonality,&nbsp;and based on our historical trends and our high ending backlog, we expect improved results for the remainder of 2012. </FONT></P>

44.2%, or $108.2 million, when compared to the backlog at March&nbsp;31, 2011. The backlog improvement reflects a 36.2% increase in unit orders in the first quarter, as well as higher average sales price on homes ordered of 2.6% for the quarter as
compared to the same period a year ago. In the first quarter of 2012, we were also able to maintain our low cancellation rate on sales orders at 15% of gross orders as compared to 17% in the same period a year ago. </FONT></P>

Treasury regulations relating to &#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; Under applicable Treasury regulations, the possibility that such an amount will be paid will not affect the amount, timing or character of income recognized by a
holder with respect to the notes if, as of the date the notes were issued, there is only a remote chance that such an amount will be paid, the amount is incidental, or certain other exceptions apply. We intend to take the position that the
contingencies associated with the exchange notes should not cause the exchange notes to be subject to the contingent payment debt instrument rules. Our determination is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the
manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this determination, a holder might be required to accrue interest income at a higher rate than
the stated interest rate on the exchange notes, and to treat as ordinary income any gain realized on the taxable disposition of an exchange note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the exchange notes will not be treated as contingent
payment debt instruments. Investors should consult their own tax advisor about this issue. </FONT></P>

notes is more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange. For non-corporate U.S.&nbsp;holders, long-term capital gains may be subject to reduced rates of taxation when compared to the rates of taxation applicable to interest income. The
deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Additional Medicare Surtax </I></B></FONT></P>

recently enacted the &#147;Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act&#148; (the &#147;<B>HIRE Act</B>&#148;), which includes the FATCA. Under the FATCA, foreign entities and foreign financial institutions (<I>e.g., </I>foreign entities acting as

reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors. These new information reporting rules require foreign payees to provide extensive information to the IRS regarding all U.S. persons who have accounts in (or in some instances,
who own debt or equity interest in) such foreign payees and in certain cases enter into an agreement with the IRS. Failure of such foreign payees to comply with these new information reporting rules will result in a new withholding tax on U.S.
source payments made to such foreign payees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Specifically, a foreign payee that does not comply with the FATCA reporting

payments of interest and payments of gross proceeds arising from the sale of securities, such as the notes. This new withholding tax generally applies to withholdable payments to noncompliant foreign payees even if such payments would not have been
subject to the withholding tax rules otherwise applicable to certain payments to Non-U.S. Holders. Recent IRS guidance provides that regulations implementing the new FATCA reporting requirements will defer the FATCA withholding obligation with
respect to interest and dividends until January&nbsp;1, 2014 (and with respect to gross proceeds from dispositions of securities until January&nbsp;1, 2015). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

regulations, if adopted, would exempt debt obligations issued before January&nbsp;1, 2013 from the application of these rules. There can be no assurance as to whether these proposed regulations will be adopted in final form, and, if so, adopted what
form the proposed regulations would take. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the FATCA provisions to them based on their particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

damages, but may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders to the extent that (1)&nbsp;it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or
profit in money, property, or services for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property, or services actually received or (2)&nbsp;a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding
in the proceeding that the person&#146;s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. Meritage&#146;s charter contains a provision limiting the

received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services, or (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders
indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his
good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be

Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>
