Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and certain other entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

     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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

2. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

     In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Revised Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was effective for NVR as of March 31, 2004. FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity in its financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. Expected losses are the expected negative variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets, exclusive of its variable interests, and expected residual returns are the expected positive variability in the fair value of an entity’s net assets, exclusive of its variable interests. As discussed below, NVR evaluates the provisions of FIN 46R as it relates to NVR’s finished lot acquisition strategy.

     NVR does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company typically acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements. The purchase agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts, and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. As of June 30, 2006, the Company controlled approximately 103,000 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $624,600 and $17,000, respectively.

     The Company believes that this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidating damage

NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)

provisions contained within the purchase agreements. In other words, if NVR does not perform under a purchase agreement, NVR loses only its deposit. NVR does not have any financial or specific performance guarantees, or completion obligations, under these purchase agreements, with the exception of three specific performance contracts pursuant to which the Company is committed to purchasing approximately 28 finished lots at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,200. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements have recourse to the general credit of NVR. Except as described below, NVR also does not share in an allocation of either the profit earned or loss incurred by any of these entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded approximately $33,000 in lot deposit write-downs.

     On a very limited basis, NVR also obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“LLC’s”). All LLC’s are structured such that NVR is a non-controlling member and is at risk only for the amount invested. NVR is not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any of the LLC’s debt. NVR enters into a standard fixed price purchase agreement to purchase lots from the LLC’s.

     At June 30, 2006, NVR had an aggregate investment in thirteen separate LLC’s totaling approximately $15,000, which controlled approximately 1,000 lots. NVR recognizes its share of the earnings of the LLC’s as an adjustment of the cost basis of the lots at the time that the lot and related home is settled with an external customer. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, NVR adjusted cost of sales by approximately $70 and $250, respectively, which represented NVR’s share of the earnings of the LLC’s.

     Forward contracts, such as the fixed price purchase agreements utilized by NVR to acquire finished lot inventory, are deemed to be “variable interests” under FIN 46R. Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements, including the LLC’s, are examined under FIN 46R for possible consolidation by NVR of such development entities on NVR’s financial statements. NVR has developed a methodology to determine whether it, or conversely, the owner(s) of the applicable development entity is the primary beneficiary of a development entity. The methodology used to evaluate NVR’s primary beneficiary status requires substantial management judgment and estimation. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the development entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of finished lots under contract. Although management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess NVR’s primary beneficiary status relative to its involvement with the development entities from which NVR acquires finished lots, changes to the probabilities and the cash flow possibilities used in NVR’s evaluation could produce widely different conclusions regarding whether NVR is or is not a development entity’s primary beneficiary.

     The Company has evaluated all of its fixed price purchase agreements and LLC arrangements and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of thirty-one of those development entities with which the agreements and arrangements are held. As a result, at June 30, 2006, NVR has consolidated such development entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Where NVR deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of a development entity created after December 31, 2003 and the development entity refused to provide financial statements to NVR, NVR utilized estimation techniques to perform the consolidation. The effect of the consolidation under FIN 46R at June 30, 2006 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $262,184 as Assets not owned, consolidated per FIN 46R, with a corresponding inclusion of $203,107 as Liabilities related to assets not owned, consolidated per FIN 46R, after elimination of intercompany items. Inclusive in these totals were assets of approximately $26,000 and liabilities of approximately $21,000 estimated for five development entities created after December 31, 2003 that did not provide financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)

     Under FIN 46R, an enterprise with an interest in a variable interest entity or potential variable interest entity created before December 31, 2003, is not required to apply FIN 46R to that entity if the enterprise, after making an “exhaustive effort”, is unable to obtain the information necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate the variable interest entity for which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2006 NVR has been unable to obtain the information necessary to perform the accounting required to consolidate nine separate development entities created before December 31, 2003 for which NVR determined it was the primary beneficiary. NVR has made, or has committed to make, aggregate deposits, totaling approximately $12,600 to these nine separate development entities, with a total aggregate purchase price for the finished lots of approximately $101,000. The aggregate deposit made or committed to being made is NVR’s maximum exposure to loss. As noted above, because NVR does not have any contractual or ownership interests in the development entities with which it contracts to buy finished lots (other than the limited use of the LLC’s as discussed above), NVR does not have the ability to compel these development entities to provide financial or other data to NVR. Because NVR has no ownership rights in any of these nine development entities, the consolidation of such entities has no impact on NVR’s net income or earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Aggregate activity with respect to the nine development entities is included in the following table:

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

Finished lots purchased - units			56				36				101				67

3. Stock-Based Compensation

     On January 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to fiscal year 2006 and the adoption of SFAS 123R, NVR followed the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

     SFAS 123R requires an entity to recognize an expense within its income statement for all share-based payment arrangements, which includes employee stock option plans. The expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted, and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. NVR adopted SFAS 123R under the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required Effective Date, as well as to the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the required Effective Date. The Company’s stock option programs are accounted for as equity awards.

     NVR’s option plans provide for the granting of stock options to certain key employees of the Company to purchase shares of common stock. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options are granted for a ten-year term, and vest in separate tranches over periods of 7 to 9 years, depending upon the plan from which the shares were granted. For options granted prior to May 2005, vesting was predicated solely on continued employment over a long-term vesting schedule (“service-only” options). For options granted in May 2005 and thereafter, option vesting is contingent first on the Company achieving an aggregate four-year diluted earnings per share target, and if that target is met, then on continued employment over a five year period subsequent to the conclusion of the performance period (“performance condition” options). At June 30, 2006, there is an aggregate of 2,796,278 options outstanding, and an additional 216,880 options available to grant, under existing stock option plans.

     To estimate the grant-date fair value of its stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model estimates the per share fair value of an option on its date of grant based on the following: the option’s exercise price; the price of the underlying stock on the date of grant; the estimated dividend yield; a “risk-free” interest rate; the estimated option term; and the expected volatility. For the “risk-free” interest rate, the Company uses a U.S. Treasury Strip due in a number of years equal to the option’s expected term. NVR has concluded that its historical exercise experience is the best estimate of future exercise patterns to determine an option’s expected term. To estimate expected volatility, NVR analyzed the historic volatility of its common stock. The estimated fair value of the options granted under SFAS 123R during the first six months of 2006 was calculated using the following assumptions:

		Six Months
		Ended
		June 30, 2006
Estimated option life		8.99 years
Risk free interest rate (range)			4.46% - 5.21	%
Expected volatility (range)			32.01% - 34.00	%
Expected dividend rate			0.00	%
Weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted		$	379.92

     Compensation cost for “service-only” option grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant). Compensation cost for “performance condition” option grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each vesting tranche of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards (graded vesting attribution method). Of the 2,796,278 options outstanding at June 30, 2006, 2,376,853 vest solely based on a service condition, and 419,425 vest based on a combined performance and service condition. Compensation cost is recognized within the income statement in the same expense line as the cash compensation paid to the respective employees. SFAS 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. NVR has concluded that its historical forfeiture rate is the best measure to estimate future forfeitures of granted stock options. The impact on compensation costs due to changes in the expected forfeiture rate will be recognized in the period that they become known.

     The effect of adopting SFAS 123R on the period ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
		June 30, 2006				June 30, 2006
Total pre-tax stock-based compensation		$	13,596			$	27,156
Total stock-based compensation, net of tax			9,087				18,154
Effect on basic earnings per share			(1.59	)			(3.21	)
Effect on diluted earnings per share			(1.34	)			(2.67	)

     As of June 30, 2006, the total unrecognized compensation cost for outstanding unvested stock option awards equals approximately $273,000, and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation will be recorded is equal to approximately 5.5 years.

     Because NVR adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective basis, the prior interim period has not been restated. The following table sets forth the effect on net income and basic and diluted earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions for its stock-based compensation arrangements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005:

		Three Months				Six Months
		Ended				Ended
		June 30, 2005				June 30, 2005
Net income, as reported		$	167,649			$	285,579

     The Company settles option exercises by issuing shares of treasury stock to option holders. Shares are relieved from the treasury account based on the weighted average cost of treasury shares acquired. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, 69,750 and 284,637 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised, respectively. Information with respect to the exercised options is as follows:

		Three Months				Six Months
		Ended				Ended
		June 30, 2006				June 30, 2006
Aggregate exercise proceeds		$	3,697			$	14,632
Aggregate intrinsic value on exercise dates			47,465				199,552

     The Company has elected the alternative transition method pursuant to FASB Staff Position SFAS 123R-3 to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool available to absorb any future write-offs of deferred tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation.

4. Earnings per Share

     The following weighted average shares and share equivalents are used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding			5,722,000				6,372,000				5,659,000				6,515,000
Shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive options			1,057,000				1,453,000				1,133,000				1,489,000
Diluted average number of shares outstanding			6,779,000				7,825,000				6,792,000				8,004,000

     As discussed in note 3, NVR adopted SFAS 123R on the modified prospective basis. Prior period amounts have not been restated. Beginning in 2006 with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the assumed proceeds used in the treasury method for calculating NVR’s diluted earnings per share includes the amount the employee must pay upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the option. Beginning in 2006, the assumed amount credited to additional paid-in capital equals the tax benefit from assumed exercise after consideration of the intrinsic value upon assumed exercise less the actual stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in the income statement in 2006 and future periods. During 2005 when the Company was still accounting for its stock-based compensation under APB 25, there was no compensation cost attributed to future services included in the assumed proceeds calculation, and the amount assumed to be credited to additional paid-in capital equaled the full assumed tax benefit resulting from the intrinsic value of the options upon the assumed exercise.

     “Service-only” options to purchase 64,177 and 58,427 shares of common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and 7,750 and 3,500 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the 381,335 options outstanding under the 2005 Stock Option Plan, 9,055 options outstanding under the 1998 Directors’ Long-Term Stock Option Plan, 14,057 options outstanding under the 2000 Broadly-Based Stock Option Plan, and 14,978 options outstanding under the 1998 Management Long-Term Stock Option Plan are considered performance-based equity compensation, and accordingly, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the performance target has not been achieved as of June 30, 2006, pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share.

5. Excess Reorganization Value, Goodwill and Other Intangibles

     SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires goodwill and reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) to be tested for impairment on an annual basis subsequent to the year of adoption. The Company completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2006, and as of June 30, 2006, management believes that goodwill, indefinite life intangibles, and excess reorganization value were not impaired.

6. Debt

     During the first quarter of 2006, the Company increased its commitment under its existing revolving credit agreement by $45,000 to $445,000. The credit agreement includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request increases in the principal amount of the credit agreement, subject to Administrative Agent

NVR, Inc.

(dollars in thousands except per share data)

approval and the agreement of existing or new lenders to provide such increase, up to an aggregate commitment of $600,000. There were no changes made to any other terms of the credit agreement.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

     A summary of changes in shareholders’ equity is presented below:

						Additional												Deferred				Deferred

     The Company repurchased approximately 162,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $120,817 during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

8. Product Warranties

     The Company establishes warranty and product liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to NVR’s homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with our general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Warranty reserve, beginning of period		$	61,566			$	41,614			$	60,112			$	42,319
Provision			15,040				11,457				25,326				19,146

10. Other Events

     The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) recently completed a periodic review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2005 and issued a letter requesting supporting information regarding the Company’s aggregation of its homebuilding operations into one reportable segment. The Company has provided the SEC Staff detailed support for its position. The Company has not yet received a response from the SEC Staff.

11. Legal Proceedings

     In 2006 and 2005, NVR received requests for information pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Clean Water Act (the “Act”) from Regions 3 and 4 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). The requests sought information regarding the Company’s storm water management discharge practices in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia during the homebuilding construction process. NVR has either provided the EPA with information in response to each of its requests, or is working with the EPA to provide the requested information. Additionally, in 2005, the EPA notified the Company of alleged storm water management violations under the Act at a homebuilding site in Pennsylvania, and that the Company may potentially be subject to administrative fines of up to $157 for the alleged violations. The Company has completed its building activity at the homebuilding site alleged to be in violation. NVR cannot predict the outcome of the EPA’s review of our storm water management practices. Further, it is not known at this time whether the EPA will seek to take legal action or impose penalties in connection with the alleged violation at the construction site in Pennsylvania.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

Overview

Our Business

     Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings. To fully serve our homebuilding customers, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We operate in the following markets:

Washington:		Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and adjacent counties in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia
Baltimore:		Baltimore, MD metropolitan area and adjacent counties in Pennsylvania
North:		Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland Eastern Shore, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
South:		North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Richmond, VA

     We believe that we operate our business with a conservative operating strategy. We do not engage in land development and primarily construct homes on a pre-sold basis. This strategy allows us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital. In addition, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets which management believes contributes to

minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets.

     Because we are not active in the land development business, our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build, and on our developers’ ability to timely deliver finished lots to meet the sales demands of our customers. We acquire finished lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements (“purchase agreements”). These purchase agreements require deposits in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the purchase agreement. However, we believe this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. As of June 30, 2006, we controlled approximately 103,000 lots, a 7% increase from June 30, 2005, with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $624,600 and $17,000, respectively.

Current Overview

     The current home sales environment is characterized by an increase in the number of existing and new homes available for sale, higher mortgage interest rates, and declining consumer confidence. As a result of these market conditions, sales for the second quarter declined by 13% from the second quarter of 2005, with the largest declines occurring in Washington and Baltimore, which declined 27% and 24%, respectively. Year to date sales for 2006 have declined 4% from the same period in 2005. In addition to lower sales, the current market conditions are exerting downward pressure on selling prices. Our overall average selling price declined 6% in the second quarter of 2006. To compete in this increasingly competitive environment, in many of our markets we have increased incentives to homebuyers and reduced prices, the impact of which has negatively impacted gross profit margins in the current period and will further negatively impact gross profit margins in future periods.

     The Company is actively involved in implementing other strategic steps to address the currently challenging homebuilding market. In certain communities, we are seeking concessions from our developers to reduce lot purchase prices to current market values and/or to defer scheduled lot purchases. In communities where we are unsuccessful in negotiating necessary concessions, we may exit the community and forfeit our deposit. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recorded contract land deposit write-downs of approximately $26,000, impacting communities primarily in Washington. This land deposit write-down significantly impacted gross profit margins. At this time we cannot conclude as to how successful we will be in obtaining any future concessions from developers, and whether additional contract land deposit write-downs will be necessary.

     We are also reducing selling, general and administrative expenses. This reduction includes a continued evaluation and adjustment of staffing levels to size our organization to meet the current expected level of sales activity. We plan to continue to assess our staffing levels as conditions warrant.

Current Financial Results

     For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, consolidated revenues and net income increased 37% and 14%, respectively, from the same period in 2005 due to higher settlement volume. Diluted earnings per share in the current quarter increased 31% as compared to the second quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, consolidated revenues and net income increased 32% and 13%, respectively, from the same period in 2005 and diluted earnings per share increased 33% over the same respective comparative periods.

     We implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R in the first quarter of 2006, which resulted in a consolidated pre-tax charge of $27,156 (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information) for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Homebuilding Segment

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

     Homebuilding revenues increased 37% for the second quarter of 2006 from the same period in 2005 as a result of a 26% increase in the number of units settled and a 9% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in units settled is attributable to a 10% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the period for 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, and a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter.

     Gross profit margins in the second quarter of 2006 declined as compared to the second quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of the downward pressure on selling prices experienced during 2006, higher selling incentives required to generate sales, and higher lot and commodity costs. Gross profit margins were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in contract land deposit write-downs of approximately $23,000 quarter

over quarter. We expect continued gross profit margin pressure over at least the next several quarters due to the current market conditions.

     New orders for the second quarter of 2006 decreased 13% from the same period in 2005. New orders in Washington and Baltimore declined 27% and 24%, respectively, primarily as a result of an increasingly competitive sales environment driven by affordability issues resulting from higher mortgage interest rates quarter over quarter, and higher levels of new and existing home inventory for sale as discussed in the Overview section above. Net new orders were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in our cancellation rate for the current quarter to 13% from 8% in the second quarter of 2005. The average sales price of new orders decreased 6% as a result of a shift in new orders into lower priced markets in our North and South markets, and a 13% decline in average new order price in Washington.

     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter increased by $35,316, but as a percentage of revenue remained consistent with the prior year at approximately 7%. The increase in SG&A dollars is primarily attributable to an increase in marketing costs, the recording of compensation costs associated with the implementation of SFAS 123R in 2006, and to a lesser extent higher personnel costs. Marketing costs increased approximately $12,500 due primarily to a 23% increase in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter. During the second quarter of 2006, we recognized $12,245 in SG&A compensation costs related to outstanding stock options (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

     Homebuilding revenues increased 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from the prior year due to a 21% increase in the number of units settled and a 10% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled and the average settlement price is attributable to a 13% higher number of homes in backlog entering 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 and a 12% higher average price of homes in the beginning backlog year over year. Additionally, we have experienced a higher backlog turnover rate year over year.

     Gross profit margins in the first six months of 2006 declined as compared to the first six months of 2005 primarily as a result of the downward pressure on selling prices experienced during 2006, higher selling incentives required to generate sales, and higher lot and commodity costs. Gross profit margins were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in contract land deposit write-downs of approximately $28,000 period over period.

     New orders for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 4% from the same period in 2005. New orders in Washington and Baltimore declined 21% and 11%, respectively, primarily as a result of an increasingly competitive sales environment driven by affordability issues resulting from higher mortgage interest rates year over year, and higher levels of new and existing home inventory for sale as discussed in the Overview. Net new orders were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in our cancellation rate to 15% in 2006 from 10% in 2005. The average sales price of new orders decreased 5% as a result of a shift in new orders into lower priced markets in our North and South markets, and a 7% decline in average new order price in Washington.

     SG&A expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased approximately $77,000 as compared to the same period in 2005, and as a percentage of revenue increased to 8% from 7% for the respective periods. The increase in SG&A dollars is attributable to a $20,700 increase in personnel costs due to higher staffing levels and higher marketing costs of $21,300 attributable to a 21% increase in the average number of active communities year over year. Additionally, as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123R in 2006, we recognized $24,485 in SG&A compensation costs related to outstanding stock options (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion).

     Backlog units and dollars were 8,864 and $3,798,214, respectively, as of June 30, 2006 compared to 9,554 and $4,021,893 as of June 30, 2005. The decrease in backlog units is attributable to the aforementioned decrease in new orders coupled with an improved backlog turnover rate year over year.

Mortgage Banking Segment

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

     We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment’s customer base.

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

Servicing			292				237				531				554
		$	26,131			$	20,441			$	47,044			$	34,621

     Loan closing volume for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 31% over the same period for 2005. The 2006 increase is primarily attributable to a 22% increase in the number of units closed and a 7% increase in the average loan amount. Loan closing volume for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 26% over the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to a 17% increase in the number of units closed, and a period over period 8% increase in the average loan amount. The three and six month 2006 unit increases reflect increases in the number of homes that we settled in the 2006 respective periods, as noted above. The increases in the average loan amount for the three and six-month periods reflect the aforementioned increase in the homebuilding segment’s average settlement prices. The number of loans closed for NVR’s homebuyers who obtain a mortgage to purchase the home (“Capture Rate”) was 87% and 88% for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 86% and 88% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     Segment income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased approximately $4,000 from the same period for 2005. The increase is primarily due to a net increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned increase in closed loan volume and to a shift in the product mix towards fixed rate mortgages, which are generally more profitable than adjustable rate mortgages. The increase in mortgage banking fees was partially offset by an approximate $1,000 increase in contractual repayments of loan sale income to investors for loans that were paid in full within a set number of days following the sale of the loan. The increase in segment income was net of an approximate $2,000 increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period for 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to an increase in salaries and other personnel costs in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period for 2005 and to $864 in stock-based compensation expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006.

     Segment income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased approximately $8,000 from the same period for 2005. The increase is primarily due to a net increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned closed loan volume increase and the product mix shift towards fixed rate mortgages. The

increase in mortgage banking fees was partially offset by an approximate $2,000 increase in contractual repayments of loan sale income to investors for loans that were paid in full within a set number of days following the sale of the loan. General and administrative costs increased approximately $4,500 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period for 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to higher salary and other personnel costs and to $1,726 in stock-based compensation expense in 2006.

     NVRM is dependent on our homebuilding segment’s customers for business. As sales and selling prices of the homebuilding segment decline, NVRM’s operations will also be adversely affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We fund our operations with cash flows provided by our operating activities, a short-term credit facility and the public debt and equity markets. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our operating activities provided cash of $126,830. Cash was provided by our homebuilding operations and by an approximate $145,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash was used to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of approximately $224,000 as a result of an increase in units under construction at June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. The presentation of operating cash flows was also reduced by $79,162, which is the amount of the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options during the period and credited directly to additional paid in capital. As required by SFAS 123R, which we adopted effective January 1, 2006, excess tax benefits credited directly to additional-paid-in capital resulting from stock-based compensation must be presented as an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.

     Net cash used for investing activities was $9,612 for the period ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to property and equipment purchases throughout the period.

     Net cash used for financing activities was $118,776 for the period ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased approximately 162,000 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $120,817 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below. We also reduced borrowings under the working capital facility by approximately $103,000, and increased borrowings under the mortgage warehouse facility by $11,400 based on current borrowing needs. Cash was also provided by the realization of $79,162 in excess income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, which pursuant to SFAS 123R, must be reported as a financing cash inflow.

     In addition to our homebuilding operating activities, we also utilize a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) to provide for working capital cash requirements. During the first quarter of 2006, we amended our existing Facility by $45,000 to an aggregate commitment of $445,000, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. The Facility expires in December 2010 and outstanding amounts bear interest at either (i) the prime rate plus an applicable margin (as defined within the Facility) based on our credit rating and/or debt to capital ratio or (ii) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin. Up to $150,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit, of which $25,042 was outstanding at June 30, 2006. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available to us for borrowings.

     Our mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as a short-term credit facility. The mortgage banking segment utilizes an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility with an aggregate available borrowing limit of $175,000 to fund its mortgage origination activities. The interest rate under the Revolving Credit Agreement is either: (i) LIBOR plus 1.125%, or (ii) 1.125% to the extent that NVRM provides compensating balances. The mortgage warehouse facility expires in August 2006. We believe that the mortgage warehouse facility will be renewed with terms consistent with the current warehouse facility prior to its expiration. There was $168,188 outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, there were no borrowing base limitations under the facility.

     In addition to funding growth in our homebuilding and mortgage operations, we historically have used a substantial portion of our excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. This ongoing repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations, and is typically executed in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We believe the repurchase program assists us in accomplishing our primary objective, increasing shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of amounts repurchased during the second quarter of 2006. We expect to continue to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and available excess liquidity.

     In 2004, we filed a shelf registration statement (“Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register up to $1,000,000 for future offer and sale of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares representing preferred shares and warrants. The SEC declared the Shelf effective on June 15, 2004. The proceeds received from future offerings issued under the Shelf are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. In addition, we have $55,000 available for issuance under a prior shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on January 20, 1998. The prior shelf registration statement, which was declared effective on February 27, 1998, provides that securities may be offered from time to time in one or more series and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. This discussion of our shelf registration capacity does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

     We believe that internally generated cash and borrowings available under credit facilities and the public debt and equity markets will be sufficient to satisfy near and long term cash requirements for working capital in both our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations.
