--  Home closings increased by 24%, during the three months ended June 30,
    2010 in comparison to the same period in 2009. The overall average
    selling price decreased by 8% due to product mix, particularly the
    significant decrease in the number of higher priced homes closed in
    Northern California. However, the average selling price of homes
    delivered increased in each region.

--  Net new orders for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by 134
    units, down 32% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
    This percentage decline is in line with the 27% decline in active
    selling communities as at June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009.

Outlook

Brookfield Homes was encouraged by the improvement in first quarter sales and closings. However, since then, selling communities have seen a drop in the number of visits from potential homebuyers, which we believe is a result of expired government stimulus programs, together with continued uncertain economic conditions, which have negatively impacted homebuyer confidence.

On the other hand, the company's strong financial position and the decreasing supply of finished lots in our markets, places Brookfield Homes in a solid position as the markets improve.

The company's goals for 2010 remain:


--  Continue to monetize the company's inventory, targeting $90 million of
    net cash from operating activities. Net cash flow from operating
    activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $42 million.

--  Increase lots controlled in certain strategic market areas. During the
    six months ended June 30, 2010, the company increased the lots
    controlled by 1,924 lots, principally in Northern California and the
    Southland/Los Angeles area.

--  Continue to improve overall gross margins as capital is invested in new
    homebuilding communities. Housing gross margins for the six months ended
    June 30, 2010 were 17% compared to 9% for the six months ended June 30,
    2009.

--  Continue to meet the challenges presented in the market and position
    Brookfield Homes to return to profitability. For the three months ended
    June 20, 2010, net income was $3 million.
