Dear Lyon Stockholder
    

Corporate Staff

While each of our Divisions manages its own day-to-day operations, our staff at the Corporate office provides critical support in the areas of Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, Legal Counsel and Tax Management. Recognizing that each of our Divisions operates in a unique market, the Corporate staff provides guidance in Company policy and procedure matters, public company reporting services, and liaison with the Company's lenders - thus enabling our Divisions to concentrate on land acquisition, construction, sales and marketing, and customer service. We have found this blend of centralized administration and decentralized operations to be very effective.

In 2000, we continued to develop new and enhance existing relationships with our joint venture partners and other providers of capital. We refinanced our previous working capital line, which provides us with additional commitments at an overall lower cost of funds.
