To
the Plan Administrator and Participants of
Crossmann Communities, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Crossmann Communities, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Crossmann Communities, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Crossmann Communities, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Crossmann Communities, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") who meet the eligibility requirements (one year of service and age 21 or older) as defined by the Plan Agreement. The Company and the Plan Administrator control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
On April 1, 2001, the Trinity Homes, LLC 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan increasing assets available for benefits by $1,308,640. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan merger, the Plan recognized prior service with Trinity Homes, LLC ("Trinity") for eligibility and vesting purposes. Trinity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On April 17, 2002, the Plan sponsor, Crossmann Communities, Inc., was acquired by Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"). In connection with the acquisition, the trustees of the Plan resigned and were replaced with Beazer representatives.
Contributions—Eligible employees ("participants") may make voluntary contributions to their individual accounts between 1% and 10% of their compensation on a pretax basis but not in excess of statutory limitations allowed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended. The Company contributes to the Plan by matching fifty cents for every one dollar contributed by participants up to a maximum of 6% of the participant's eligible compensation. Additional Company contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In 2001, the Company's additional discretionary contribution was $805,921 and was contributed in the form of Company common stock.
Participant Accounts—Each participant's account is credited with his or her contributions and the Company's matching contributions. Investment earnings are allocated based on participants' account balances.
Vesting—Participants are fully vested in all employee contributions and earnings thereon. Employer contributions become fully vested at (a) a participant's attainment of age 65, (b) retirement age, as defined by the Plan, (c) his or her death while an employee or (d) attainment of disability retirement age, as defined by the Plan. If these requirements are not met, the employer contributions are vested according to the following schedule:
| Number of Years of Continuous Service |
Vested Percentage |
|
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0% | |
| 2 | 20% | |
| 3 | 40% | |
| 4 | 60% | |
| 5 | 80% | |
| 6 | 100% |
Forfeitures—Forfeitures of a participant's nonvested account occur upon termination. Forfeited amounts are held in a separate account (McDonald Investments) and reallocated to each participant who is employed on the last day of the Plan year in proportion to his or her compensation for the Plan year.
4
Participant Loans—Participants are allowed to obtain loans from their respective accounts. Participant loans are limited to 50% of the participant's account balance, bear interest at rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.5%, and mature over the next five years.
Plan Termination—Although the Company has no intention to do so, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time upon giving written notice to all parties concerned, subject to the provisions of ERISA. When the Plan is terminated, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
Administrative Expenses—For the 2001 plan year, administrative expenses were primarily paid by the Company.
Benefit Payments—Upon retirement, a participant has an option to receive his or her account balance as a lump sum payment or as a direct rollover, as described in the Plan agreement. A participant may withdraw his or her vested contributions in the event of hardship, as defined in the Plan agreement. Benefit payments are recorded when paid.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting—The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments—Investments are carried at fair value as reported on the last business day of the year as determined using quoted market prices.
Accounting Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risk of Investments—The Plan invests in various securities including U.S. Government securities, corporate debt instruments, and corporate stocks. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.
