Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in this Form 10-K, as well as statements made by NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) in periodic press releases or other public communications, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. All statements other than of historical facts are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements contained in this document include those regarding market trends, NVR’s financial position, business strategy, projected plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of NVR to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to the following: general economic and business conditions (on both a national and regional level); interest rate changes; access to suitable financing; competition; the availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by NVR in its homebuilding operations; shortages of labor; weather related slow-downs; building moratoriums; governmental regulation; the ability of NVR to integrate any acquired business; fluctuation and volatility of stock and other financial markets; and other factors over which NVR has little or no control.

RISK FACTORS

Our business can be negatively impacted by interest rate movements, inflation and other economic factors.

Our business is affected by the risks generally incident to the residential construction business, including:

High rates of inflation generally affect the homebuilding industry adversely because of their adverse impact on interest rates. High interest rates not only increase the cost of borrowed funds to homebuilders but also have a significant effect on housing demand and on the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective purchasers. We are also subject to potential volatility in the price of commodities that impact costs of materials used in our homebuilding business. Increases in prevailing interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Our financial results also are affected by the risks generally incident to our mortgage banking business, including interest rate levels, the impact of government regulation of mortgage loan originations and servicing and the need to issue forward commitments to fund and sell mortgage loans. Our homebuilding customers accounted for almost all of our mortgage banking business in 2003. Our mortgage banking business is therefore affected by the volume of our continuing homebuilding operations.

Our mortgage banking business also is affected by interest rate fluctuations. We also may experience marketing losses resulting from daily increases in interest rates to the extent we are unable to match interest rates and amounts on loans we have committed to originate with forward commitments from third parties to purchase such loans. We employ procedures designed to mitigate any such potential losses, but there can be no assurance that such procedures will be entirely successful. Increases in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

These factors (and thus the homebuilding business) have tended to be cyclical in nature. Any downturn in the national economy or the local economies of the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations. In particular, approximately 42% of our home settlements during 2003 occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD. metropolitan areas, which amounted to 54% of NVR’s 2003 homebuilding revenues. Thus, NVR is dependent to a significant extent on the economy and demand for housing in those areas.

Our inability to secure and control an adequate inventory of lots could adversely impact our operations.

The results of our homebuilding operations are dependent upon our continuing ability to control an adequate number of homebuilding lots in desirable locations. We have not experienced significant shortages in the supply of lots in our principal markets or difficulty in controlling lots through fixed price purchase contracts in sufficient numbers and in adequate locations to fulfill our business plan and on terms consistent with our past operations. There can be no assurance, however, that an adequate supply of building lots will continue to be available on terms similar to those available in the past, or that we will not be required to devote a greater amount of capital to controlling building lots than we have historically. Although we believe that we will have adequate capital resources and financing to control a sufficient number of building lots to fulfill our current business plan, there can be no assurance that our resources and financing will in fact be sufficient to meet our expectations. An insufficient supply of building lots in one or more of our markets or our inability to purchase or finance building lots on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Inventory risk can be substantial for homebuilders. The market value of building lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market conditions. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in losses in a poorly performing project or market. We must, in the ordinary course of our business, continuously seek and make acquisitions of lots for expansion into new markets as well as for replacement and expansion within our current markets. Although we employ various measures designed to manage inventory risks, there can be no assurance that such measures will be successful. In the event of significant changes in economic or market conditions, we may dispose of certain subdivision inventories on a bulk or other basis which may result in a loss which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Our current indebtedness may impact our future operations and our ability to access necessary financing.

Our homebuilding operations are dependent in part on the availability and cost of working capital financing, and may be adversely affected by a shortage or an increase in the cost of such financing. We believe that we will be able to meet our needs for working capital financing from cash generated from operations and from our existing or a replacement working capital revolving credit facility. If we require working capital greater than that provided by our operations and our credit facility, we may be required to seek to increase the amount available under the facility or to obtain alternative financing. No assurance can be given that additional or replacement financing will be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable. If we are at any time unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund our planned homebuilding expenditures, we may experience a substantial delay in the completion of any homes then under construction. Any delay could result in cost increases and could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.

Our existing indebtedness contains financial and other restrictive covenants and any future indebtedness may also contain covenants. These covenants include limitations on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay cash dividends and make distributions, make loans and investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, effect certain asset sales, incur certain liens, merge or consolidate with any other person, or transfer all or substantially all of our properties and assets. Substantial losses by us or other action or inaction by us or our subsidiaries could result in the violation of one or more of these covenants which could result in decreased liquidity or a default on our indebtedness, thereby having a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

Our mortgage banking operations are dependent on the availability, cost and other terms of mortgage warehouse financing, and may be adversely affected by any shortage or increased cost of such financing. Although we believe that our needs for mortgage warehouse financing will be met by our existing mortgage warehouse arrangements and repurchase agreements, no assurance can be given that any additional or replacement financing will be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable. Our mortgage banking operations are also dependent upon the securitization market for mortgage-backed securities, and could be materially adversely affected by any fluctuation or downturn in such market.

Government regulations and environmental matters can negatively affect our operations.

We are subject to various local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction and similar matters, including local regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can eventually be built within the boundaries of a particular area. We have from time to time been subject to, and may also be subject in the future to, periodic delays in our homebuilding projects due to building moratoriums in the areas in which we operate. Changes in regulations that restrict homebuilding activities in one or more of our principal markets could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. We are subject to a variety of environmental conditions that can affect our business and our homebuilding projects. The particular environmental laws that apply to any given homebuilding site vary greatly according to the location and environmental condition of the site and the present and former uses of the site and adjoining properties. Environmental laws and conditions may result in delays, cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, or prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas, thereby adversely affecting our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

We are an approved seller/servicer of FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC, FHA and VA mortgage loans, and are subject to all of those agencies’ rules and regulations. Any significant impairment of our eligibility to sell/service these loans could have a material adverse impact on our mortgage operations. In addition, we are subject to regulation at the state and federal level with respect to specific origination, selling and servicing practices. Adverse changes in governmental regulation may have a negative impact on our mortgage loan origination business.

We face competition in our housing and mortgage banking operations.

The homebuilding industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous homebuilders of varying size, ranging from local to national in scope, some of whom have greater financial resources than we do. We face competition:

Our homebuilding operations compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service and reputation. Historically we have been one of the leading homebuilders in each of the markets where we operate.

The mortgage banking industry is also competitive. Our main competition comes from national, regional and local mortgage bankers, thrifts, banks and mortgage brokers in each of these markets. Our mortgage banking operations compete primarily on the basis of customer service, variety of products offered, interest rates offered, prices of ancillary services and relative financing availability and costs.

Table of Contents

There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully in our homebuilding or mortgage banking operations. An inability to effectively compete may have an adverse impact on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

A shortage of building materials or labor may adversely impact our operations.

The homebuilding business has in the past, from time to time, experienced material and labor shortages, including shortages in insulation, drywall, certain carpentry work, concrete, as well as fluctuating lumber prices and supply. In addition, high employment levels and strong construction market conditions could restrict the labor force available to our subcontractors and us in one or more of our markets. While we are not presently experiencing any serious material or labor shortages, significant increases in costs resulting from these shortages, or delays in construction of homes, could have a material adverse effect upon our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

Weather-related and other events beyond our control may adversely impact our operations.

Extreme weather or other events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, forest fires, floods, terrorist attacks or war, may affect our markets, our operations and our profitability. These events may impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or subcontractors, causing us material increases in costs, or delays in construction of homes, which could have a material adverse effect upon our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) was formed in 1980 as NVHomes, Inc. NVR operates in two business segments: 1) homebuilding and 2) mortgage banking. NVR conducts its homebuilding activities directly and its mortgage banking operations primarily through a wholly owned subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “NVR” include NVR and its subsidiaries.

NVR is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States and in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas. Approximately 42% of our home settlements in 2003 occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, which amounted to 54% of NVR’s 2003 homebuilding revenues. NVR’s homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings under three tradenames: Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Fox Ridge Homes. The Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge Homes products are moderately priced and marketed primarily to first-time homeowners and first-time move-up buyers. The NVHomes product is marketed primarily to move-up and upscale buyers and is built in the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan areas. The Ryan Homes product is built in eighteen metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, and Delaware. Beginning in 2004, the Ryan Homes product will no longer be sold in the Nashville, TN metropolitan area. The Fox Ridge Homes product is built solely in the Nashville, TN metropolitan area. In 2003, the average price of a unit settled by NVR was approximately $297,900.

NVR does not engage in the land development business. Instead, NVR acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements that 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 represent a percentage, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.

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 provision contained within the purchase agreement. NVR does not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and does not guarantee specific performance under these purchase agreements. NVR generally seeks to maintain control over a supply of lots believed to be suitable to meet its sales objectives for the next 24 to 36 months.

In addition to building and selling homes, NVR provides a number of mortgage-related services through its mortgage banking operations, which operate in 11 states. Through office locations in each of NVR’s homebuilding markets, NVRM originates mortgage loans predominantly for NVR’s homebuyers. NVRM generates revenues primarily from origination fees, gains on sales of loans and title fees. NVRM sells substantially all of the mortgage loans it closes into the secondary markets on a servicing released basis.

Segment information for NVR’s homebuilding and mortgage banking businesses is included in note 2 to NVR’s consolidated financial statements.

Homebuilding

Products

NVR offers single-family detached homes, townhomes, and condominium buildings with many different basic home designs. These home designs have a variety of elevations and numerous other options. Homes built by NVR combine traditional or colonial exterior designs with contemporary interior designs and amenities and generally include two to four bedrooms. NVR’s homes range from approximately 1,000 to 7,300 square feet and are priced from approximately $90,000 to $1,600,000.

Markets

NVR operates in the following geographic regions:

Further discussion of settlements, new orders and backlog activity by region for each of the last three years can be found in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (see Item 7).

Backlog

Backlog units and dollars were 6,890 and approximately $2.3 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2003 compared to backlog units of 6,357 and dollars of approximately $2.0 billion at December 31, 2002. Based on historical trends, NVR anticipates that approximately 15% of the units in backlog at December 31, 2003 will cancel prior to settlement. The remaining 85% of the units are expected to settle in 2004.

Construction

Independent subcontractors under fixed-price contracts perform construction work on NVR’s homes. The subcontractors’ work is performed under the supervision of NVR employees who monitor quality control. NVR uses many independent subcontractors in its various markets and is not dependent on any single subcontractor or on a small number of subcontractors.

Land Development

NVR is not in the land development business. NVR purchases finished lots from various land developers under fixed price purchase agreements that 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 represent a percentage, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. NVR is not dependent on any single developer or on a small number of developers.

Sales and Marketing

NVR’s preferred marketing method is for customers to visit a furnished model home featuring many built-in options and a landscaped lot. The garages of these model homes are usually converted into temporary sales centers where alternative facades and floor plans are displayed and designs for other models are available for review. Sales representatives are compensated predominantly on a commission basis.

Table of Contents

Regulation

NVR and its subcontractors must comply with various federal, state and local zoning, building, environmental, advertising and consumer credit statutes, rules and regulations, as well as other regulations and requirements in connection with its construction and sales activities. All of these regulations have increased the cost to produce and market NVR’s products. Counties and cities in which NVR builds homes have at times declared moratoriums on the issuance of building permits and imposed other restrictions in the areas in which sewage treatment facilities and other public facilities do not reach minimum standards. To date, restrictive zoning laws and the imposition of moratoriums have not had a material adverse effect on NVR’s construction activities.

Competition and Market Factors

The housing industry is highly competitive. NVR competes with numerous homebuilders of varying size, ranging from local to national in scope, some of whom have greater financial resources than NVR. NVR also faces competition from the home resale market. NVR’s homebuilding operations compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service and reputation. NVR historically has been one of the market leaders in each of the markets where NVR builds homes.

The housing industry is cyclical and is affected by consumer confidence levels, prevailing economic conditions and interest rates. Other factors that affect the housing industry and the demand for new homes include the availability and increases in the cost of land, labor and materials, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends and the availability of mortgage finance programs.

NVR is dependent upon building material suppliers for a continuous flow of raw materials. Whenever possible, NVR utilizes standard products available from multiple sources. Such raw materials have been generally available in adequate supply.

Mortgage Banking

NVR provides a number of mortgage related services to its homebuilding customers through its mortgage banking operations. The mortgage banking operations of NVR also include separate subsidiaries that broker title insurance and perform title searches in connection with mortgage loan closings for which they receive commissions and fees. Because NVRM originates mortgage loans predominately for NVR’s homebuilding customers, NVRM is dependent on NVR’s homebuilding segment. In 2003, NVRM closed approximately 10,200 loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.4 billion.

NVRM sells substantially all of the mortgage loans it closes to investors in the secondary markets on a servicing released basis. NVRM is an approved seller/servicer for FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC, VA and FHA mortgage loans.

Competition and Market Factors

NVRM operates through 15 branches in 11 states. NVRM’s main competition comes from national, regional, and local mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, thrifts and banks in each of these markets. NVRM competes primarily on the basis of customer service, variety of products offered, interest rates offered, prices of ancillary services and relative financing availability and costs.

Regulation

NVRM is an approved seller/servicer of FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC, FHA and VA mortgage loans, and is subject to all of those agencies’ rules and regulations. These rules and regulations restrict certain activities of NVRM. NVRM is currently eligible and expects to remain eligible to participate in such programs. In addition, NVRM is subject to regulation at the state and federal level with respect to specific origination, selling and servicing practices.

Table of Contents

Pipeline

NVRM’s mortgage loans in process which have not closed (“Pipeline”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, had an aggregate principal balance of $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. NVRM anticipates that approximately 25% of its Pipeline at December 31, 2003 will cancel prior to closing. The remaining 75% of the Pipeline is expected to close in 2004.

Employees

At December 31, 2003, NVR employed 3,852 full-time persons, of whom 1,495 were officers and management personnel, 192 were technical and construction personnel, 713 were sales personnel, 537 were administrative personnel and 915 were engaged in various other service and labor activities. None of NVR’s employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and NVR has never experienced a work stoppage. Management believes that its employee relations are good.

Internet Website

NVR’s internet website can be found at www.nvrinc.com. NVR makes available free of charge on or through our internet website, access to our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is filed, or furnished, to the Securities and Exchange Commission. NVR’s internet website also includes a corporate governance section which contains NVR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics, Board of Directors Committee Charters for the Audit, Nominating, Compensation and Qualified Legal Compliance Committees, Policies and Procedures for the Consideration of Board of Director Candidates and Policies and Procedures on Securityholder Communications with the Board of Directors.

Item 2. Properties.

NVR’s executive offices are located in McLean, Virginia, where NVR currently leases office space. The current executive office leases expire on various dates through December 2009.

NVR’s six manufacturing facilities are currently located in Thurmont, Maryland; Burlington County, New Jersey; Farmington, New York; Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Darlington, Pennsylvania; and Portland, Tennessee. All of NVR’s manufacturing facilities are leased. Each of these leases contains various options for extensions of the lease and for the purchase of the facility. The Darlington and Portland leases expire in 2005 and 2009, respectively. The Thurmont and Farmington plant leases expire in 2014, and the Kings Mountain and Burlington County leases expire in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

NVR also leases office space in 81 locations in 11 states for field offices, mortgage banking and title services branches under leases expiring at various times through 2010. NVR anticipates that, upon expiration of existing leases, it will be able to renew them or obtain comparable facilities on acceptable terms.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

NVR is not involved in any legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters had been submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001

Overview

NVR’s primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings in the markets described below. To fully serve our homebuilding customers, NVR also operates mortgage banking and title services businesses. NVR continues to manage its business through a conservative operating strategy by not engaging in land development and by primarily constructing homes on a pre-sold basis. Additionally, NVR focuses on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each of the markets it serves. This strategy allows NVR 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. The effective execution of this operating strategy resulted in another year of continued growth in operating activity and earnings. Consolidated revenues and net income for 2003 increased 18% and 27%, respectively, from 2002. The increase in earnings, and the continuation of the stock repurchase program pursuant to which NVR repurchased approximately 1,100,000 shares during 2003, resulted in a 34% increase in dilutive earnings per share over 2002 results.

Table of Contents

NVR’s continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build. NVR acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. As of December 31, 2003, NVR had deposits of approximately $284,000, which controlled approximately 70,000 lots. NVR believes that this supply is adequate to suitably meet its sales objectives.

NVR operates in the following regions:

The following table summarizes settlements, new orders and backlog unit activity for each of the last three years by region:

Homebuilding Segment

Homebuilding revenues for 2003 increased 18% to $3,600,917 compared to revenues of $3,060,671 in 2002. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from an 11% increase in the average settlement price to $297.9 in 2003 from $268.5 in 2002 and to an increase of 6% in the number of homes settled to 12,050 in 2003 from 11,368 in 2002. The increase in average settlement prices is primarily attributable to favorable market conditions resulting in increased sales prices in a majority of NVR’s markets. The increase in the number of homes settled is primarily attributable to a 14% higher backlog at the beginning of 2003 as compared to the beginning of 2002 and a 6% increase in new orders to 7,019 units during the first six months of 2003 from 6,623 units during the same period in 2002.

12

Table of Contents

Homebuilding revenues for 2002 increased 20% to $3,060,671 compared to revenues of $2,559,744 in 2001. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 10% increase in the number of homes settled to 11,368 in 2002 from 10,372 in 2001 and to a 9% increase in the average settlement price to $268.5 in 2002 from $246.0 in 2001. The increase in the number of homes settled was primarily the result of an 8% higher backlog at the beginning of 2002 as compared to the beginning of 2001 and to a 7% increase in the number of new orders for the first six months of 2002 to 6,623 units from 6,165 units for the same period in 2001. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to favorable market conditions resulting in price increases in a majority of NVR’s markets, and to a 2% increase, as a percentage of total settlements, in single family detached home settlements, which in comparison are generally higher priced than NVR’s single family attached homes.

New orders for the full year ended 2003 increased 3% to 12,583 units from 12,167 units in 2002. The value of new orders increased 13% to $3,950,413 in 2003 from $3,501,793 in 2002. The increase in new orders occurred predominately in the North region as a result of a 5% increase in the average number of active communities within this region. The decrease in new orders in the Washington region was primarily due to a 2% reduction in the average number of active communities within that region. New orders for the full year ended 2002 increased 13% from the number of new orders in 2001. New orders increased predominately in markets outside the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. market areas.

Gross profit margins for 2003 increased to 25% compared to 24% for 2002. The increase in profit margins is attributable to the aforementioned favorable market conditions allowing NVR to raise sales prices in a majority of the markets NVR serves. Gross profit margins for 2002 increased to 24% compared to 22% for 2001. The increase in 2002 gross profit margins was primarily due to favorable market conditions which provided NVR the opportunity to increase selling prices in a majority of its markets and to relatively stable costs for lumber and certain other commodities year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for 2003 increased approximately 3% from 2002 and as a percentage of revenues decreased to approximately 6.4% in 2003 from 7.4% in 2002. The increase in SG&A costs is primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs and selling and marketing costs of approximately $13,000 and $8,000, respectively, to facilitate continued growth objectives in existing markets, and to an approximate $9,000 increase in other general and administrative costs incidental to the aforementioned increase in revenues. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $24,000 in 2003 from 2002 related to the termination of certain management incentive compensation plans at the end of 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for 2002 increased $48,132, or 27%, as compared to 2001, and as a percentage of revenues increased to 7.4% from 7.0%. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily attributable to a $23,000 increase in certain management incentives, an approximate $15,000 increase in wages resulting from increases in personnel to support NVR’s continued growth, and to the aforementioned increase in revenues.

Backlog units and dollars were 6,890 and $2,323,703, respectively, at December 31, 2003 compared to backlog units of 6,357 and dollars of $1,962,115 at December 31, 2002. The increase in backlog units is due primarily to a 14% higher backlog at the beginning of 2003 as compared to the beginning of 2002. The 18% increase in backlog dollars is attributable to an 8% increase in backlog units and a 12% increase in the average price of new orders for the six months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. Backlog units and dollars were 6,357 and $1,962,115, respectively, at December 31, 2002 compared to backlog units of 5,558 and dollars of $1,511,503 at December 31, 2001. The increase in backlog dollars was primarily due to a 14% increase in backlog units at December 31, 2002, and to an 11% increase in the average selling price of new orders for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period for 2001. The increase in backlog units was primarily attributable to a 20% increase in new orders for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period for 2001.

Mortgage Banking Segment

NVR conducts its mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses almost exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment’s customer base. Following is a table of financial and statistical data for the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

Loan closing volume for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased 9.5% over 2002. The 2003 increase compared to 2002 is solely attributable to a 9.5% increase in the average loan amount due to the homebuilding segment’s higher average selling prices. The number of units closed was flat in 2003 compared to 2002. Loan closing volume for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 15% over 2001. The 2002 increase compared to 2001 was attributable to a 5% increase in the number of units closed and to a 10% increase in the average loan amount due to the homebuilding segment’s higher average selling prices.

Also during 2003, NVRM began to sell its conforming and government loans on a servicing released basis rather than selling the servicing rights separately on a periodic bulk basis. NVRM has also implemented systems and procedures to more efficiently deliver loans into its sales channels, which has resulted in the substantial reduction of mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased approximately $11,100 over 2002. The 2003 increase is primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned 9.5% increase in closed loan volume, increased secondary marketing gains, and higher revenues per loan. Secondary marketing gains for 2003 increased approximately $2,000 over 2002. Average revenues per loan (including origination fees, ancillary fees and discount points) for 2003 increased by approximately 7%.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased approximately $14,600 over 2001. The increase is primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking fees attributable to the aforementioned 15% increase in closed loan volume, increased secondary marketing gains, and higher revenues per loan. Secondary marketing gains for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased approximately $4,000 over 2001 due to a more favorable pricing environment. Average revenues per loan (including origination fees, ancillary fees and discount points) for 2002 increased by approximately 24% primarily due to a more favorable market environment than that experienced in 2001. The 2001 year was also impacted by approximately $1,700 for costs associated with discontinued retail activity, which was the primary cause of the overall decrease in general and administrative costs when comparing 2002 to 2001.

Seasonality

Overall, NVR does not experience material seasonal fluctuations in sales, settlements or loan closings.

Effective Tax Rate

NVR’s consolidated effective tax rates were 39.7%, 38.2%, and 40.0% in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2002 was primarily due to the amendment of a long-term cash incentive plan requiring executive officers to defer receipt of payments due under the plan until separation of service with NVR. The effect of this amendment converted compensation expensed prior to January 1, 2002 from a permanent tax difference to a temporary tax difference, producing an approximate $7,800 deferred tax benefit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to consolidate that entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIE’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. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46, an enterprise generally consolidated an entity when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest in the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. In December 2003, FASB revised FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”), deferring the application of the provisions of FIN 46 for an interest held in a VIE or potential VIE until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004 if the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting that VIE in accordance with FIN 46.

During the period from February 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, NVR had entered into fixed priced purchase agreements with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $900,000, by making or committing to make, deposits of approximately $80,000. NVR has evaluated all fixed price purchase agreements entered into during that period and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of certain of the variable interest entities with which it has entered into purchase agreements. NVR estimated the current fair value of the land underlying these purchase agreements and consolidated that amount and a related liability. The liability represents the difference between the estimated current fair value of the land under contract and NVR’s related deposits. The effect of the consolidation at December 31, 2003 was the inclusion on the balance sheet of $12,807 to Inventory Not Owned, Consolidated Per FIN 46 with a corresponding inclusion of $12,071 to Liabilities Related To Inventory Not Owned, Consolidated Per FIN 46. NVR does not have access to the financial records of the development entities with which it enters into fixed price purchase agreements, and as a result was unable to consolidate the variable interest entities’ results of operations or cash flows. NVR has deferred implementation of FIN 46 on all other fixed price purchase agreements until the first quarter of 2004 as permitted under revised FIN 46.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Lines of Credit and Notes Payable

NVR’s homebuilding segment generally provides for its working capital cash requirements using cash generated from operations and a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility. In August 2003, NVR executed a credit agreement for a $150,000 working capital revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), replacing NVR’s $135,000 credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2004. The Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the type of borrowing and other criteria set forth in the Facility. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding during 2003 was 2.7%. The Facility expires in August 2007. Up to $50,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit, of which $20,696 was outstanding at December 31, 2003. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available to NVR for borrowings.

NVR’s mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as various short-term credit facilities. NVRM has available an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility (the “Mortgage Warehouse Revolving Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate borrowing limit of $175,000 to fund its mortgage origination activities,

15

Table of Contents

under which $53,340 was outstanding at December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, borrowing base limitations reduced the amount available to NVRM for borrowings to approximately $87,600. The Mortgage Warehouse Revolving Credit Agreement expires in August 2004. The interest rate under the Mortgage Warehouse Revolving Credit Agreement is either: (i) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“Libor”) plus 1.25%, or (ii) 1.25% to the extent that NVRM provides compensating balances. The weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Mortgage Warehouse Revolving Credit Agreement was 1.8% during 2003. NVRM’s mortgage warehouse facility limits the ability of NVRM to transfer funds to NVR in the form of dividends, loans or advances. In addition, NVRM is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $14,000. NVRM also currently has available an aggregate of $50,000 of borrowing capacity in an uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreement. Amounts outstanding thereunder accrue interest at various rates tied to the Libor rate and are collateralized by gestation mortgage-backed securities and whole loans. The weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding under this uncommitted facility was 1.8% during 2003. There were no borrowings outstanding under the gestation and repurchase agreement at December 31, 2003.

On January 20, 1998, NVR filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to $400,000 of NVR’s debt securities. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on February 27, 1998 and provides that securities may be offered from time to time in one or more series, and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. NVR has $55,000 available for issuance under the shelf registration.

On June 17, 2003, NVR completed an offering, at par, for $200,000 of 5% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) under the shelf registration. The offering of the Notes resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $199,400, after deducting offering expenses. The Notes mature on June 15, 2010 and bear interest at 5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2003. The Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of NVR’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and indebtedness under our existing credit facility. The Notes are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness that NVR may incur. NVR may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (b) the discounted present value of the remaining scheduled payments of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.

On July 14, 2003, NVR used approximately $120,700 of the proceeds received from the sale of the Notes to redeem all of the $115,000 outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2005 at a price of 104% of the principal amount outstanding, including the payment of accrued interest. The redemption resulted in a charge to pre-tax homebuilding income of $8,503.

NVR expects to file a new shelf registration in 2004 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. Proceeds received from future offerings issued under this shelf registration are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. This discussion of NVR’s expected new shelf registration does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

Equity Repurchases

NVR expects that it will, from time to time, repurchase shares of its common stock, pursuant to repurchase authorizations by the Board of Directors and subject to the restrictions contained within NVR’s debt agreements. In February 2003, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $150,000 of NVR’s common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions. As of November 2003, NVR had fully utilized the February 2003 stock repurchase authorization. In August 2003, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200,000 of NVR’s common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions. As of December 2003, NVR had fully utilized the August 2003 stock repurchase authorization. In December 2003, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200,000 of NVR’s common stock in one or more open market and/or

16

Table of Contents

privately negotiated transactions. As of February 9, 2004, NVR had repurchased shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $123,000 pursuant to the December 2003 repurchase authorization.

Cash Flows

As shown in NVR’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003, NVR’s operating activities provided cash of $552,785 for this period. Cash was provided primarily by homebuilding operations and by the utilization of a tax benefit of $110,171 as a result of employee stock option exercises. The tax benefit on employee stock option exercises was recorded directly to equity and reduced estimated tax payments during the year. Increased homebuilding activity contributed to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Additionally, customer deposits have increased $38,831 as a result of the aforementioned increase in backlog units and due to an increase in the average deposit collected on those units in 2003 as compared to 2002. Cash was used to fund increases in homebuilding inventory of $87,099, excluding the change in Inventory Not Owned, Consolidated per FIN 46 as discussed previously in Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Additionally, cash was used to make deposits on fixed price purchase agreements with developers to acquire control of finished lots. NVR controlled approximately 70,000 lots at December 31, 2003.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $11,337 for the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of mortgage servicing rights and to principal payments received on mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by capital spending.

Net cash used for financing activities was $474,748 for the year ended December 31, 2003. NVR purchased approximately 1,100,000 shares of its common stock in 2003 for an aggregate purchase price of $460,391. Additionally, as noted in the previous section, NVR issued $200,000 in Notes and used approximately $120,700 of the proceeds from this issuance to redeem all of the outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2005, including accrued interest.

At December 31, 2003, the homebuilding and mortgage banking segments had restricted cash of $17,023 and $3,011, respectively, which includes certain customer deposits, mortgagor tax, insurance, completion escrows and other amounts collected at closing which relates to mortgage loans held for sale and to home sales.

NVR believes that internally generated cash and borrowings available under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy near and longer term cash requirements for working capital and debt service in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking operations.

Off –Balance Sheet Arrangements

As previously noted in the Overview, NVR acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements. This lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. Under these purchase agreements, NVR is typically required to make deposits in the form of cash or letters of credit, which may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. At December 31, 2003, NVR had entered into purchase agreements with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,000,000, by making or committing to make deposits of approximately $370,000 in the form of cash and letters of credit.

NVR enters into bond or letter of credit arrangements with local municipalities, government agencies, or land developers to collateralize its obligations under various contracts. NVR had approximately $27,141 of contingent obligations under such agreements as of December 31, 2003. NVR believes it will fulfill its obligations under the related contracts and does not anticipate any losses under these bonds or letters of credit.

In the normal course of business, NVR’s mortgage banking segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates. The commitments

17

Table of Contents

become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within time frames established by NVR. All mortgagors are evaluated for credit worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, NVR enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments classified as derivatives. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly are marked to market through earnings. At December 31, 2003, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $180,341, and open forward delivery sale contracts aggregating $263,533.

Contractual Obligations

Our fixed, noncancelable obligations as of December 31, 2003, were as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies

General

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. NVR continually evaluates the estimates it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements, and updates those estimates as necessary. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates made by management.

18

Table of Contents

Homebuilding Inventory

The carrying value of inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of lots and completed and uncompleted housing units represent the accumulated actual cost thereof. Field construction supervisors’ salaries and related direct overhead expenses are included in inventory costs. Interest costs are not capitalized into inventory. Upon settlement, the cost of the units is expensed on a specific identification basis. Cost of manufacturing materials is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Recoverability and impairment, if any, is primarily evaluated by analyzing sales of comparable assets. Management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess the carrying value of homebuilding inventory.

Variable Interest Entities

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity. 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. The methodology used to evaluate whether NVR is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity requires substantial management judgment and estimates. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the variable interest entity’s expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of finished lots under contract. The estimates used by management to assess probabilities of various cash flows must be considered in the context that NVR is not in the land development business, does not possess any in-house expertise relative to the land development business, and that NVR does not have access to the books and records of most of the development entities evaluated as a variable interest entity. Although management believes that its accounting policy is designed to properly assess NVR’s primary beneficiary status relative to its involvement with variable interest entities, changes to the probabilities and the cash flow possibilities used in NVR’s evaluation could produce different conclusions regarding NVR’s status or non-status as a variable interest entity’s primary beneficiary.

Contract Land Deposits

NVR purchases finished lots under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the contract. The deposits are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. NVR maintains an allowance for losses on contract land deposits that it believes is sufficient to provide for losses in the existing contract land deposit portfolio. The allowance reflects management’s judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period, considering market and economic conditions, sales absorption and profitability within specific communities and terms of the various contracts. Although NVR considers the allowance for losses on contract land deposits reflected on the December 31, 2003 balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or other events adversely affecting specific markets or the homebuilding industry.

Intangible Assets

Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (“excess reorg value”) and goodwill are no longer subject to amortization upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Rather, excess reorg value and goodwill are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test. NVR continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining value of excess reorg value and goodwill may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2003, management believes that excess reorg value and goodwill were not impaired. This conclusion is based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as NVR’s history of operating success, NVR’s well recognized brand names and the significant positions held in the markets in which NVR operates. However, changes in strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact this judgment and require an impairment loss to be recognized for the amount that the carrying value of excess reorg value and/or goodwill exceeds their fair value.

19

Table of Contents

Warranty/Product Liability Accruals

Warranty and product liability accruals are established to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to NVR’s business. Liability estimates are determined based on management 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 other outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. Although NVR considers the warranty and product liability accrual reflected on the December 31, 2003 balance sheet (see note 10) to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to increased costs for material and labor, the inability or refusal of manufacturers or subcontractors to financially participate in corrective action, unanticipated adverse legal settlements, or other unanticipated changes to the assumptions used to estimate the warranty and product liability accrual.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices and Economic Conditions

See Risk Factors previously discussed.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. NVR’s market risk arises from interest rate risk inherent in its financial instruments. Interest rate risk is the possibility that changes in interest rates will cause unfavorable changes in net income or in the value of interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. Lower interest rates tend to increase demand for mortgage loans for home purchasers, while higher interest rates make it more difficult for potential borrowers to purchase residential properties and to qualify for mortgage loans. NVR has no market rate sensitive instruments held for speculative or trading purposes.

NVR’s mortgage banking segment is exposed to interest rate risk as it relates to its lending activities. The mortgage banking segment originates mortgage loans which are either sold through optional or mandatory forward delivery contracts into the secondary markets. All of the mortgage banking segment’s loan portfolio is held for sale and subject to forward sale commitments. NVR also sells substantially all of its mortgage servicing rights on a servicing released basis.

NVR’s homebuilding segment generates operating liquidity and acquires capital assets through fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The homebuilding segment’s primary variable-rate debt is a working capital revolving credit facility that currently provides for unsecured borrowings up to $150,000, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. The working capital credit facility expires in August 2007 and outstanding amounts bear interest at the election of NVR based on the type of borrowing and other criteria set forth in the Facility. The weighted average interest rate for the amounts outstanding under the Facility was 2.7% during 2003. There were no amounts outstanding under the working capital revolving credit facility at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available to NVR for borrowings.

NVRM generates operating liquidity primarily through the mortgage warehouse facility which currently has a borrowing limit of $175,000. The interest rate under the mortgage warehouse facility is either: (i) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“Libor”) plus 1.25%, or (ii) 1.25% to the extent that NVRM provides compensating balances. The weighted-average interest rate for amounts outstanding under the mortgage warehouse facility was 1.8% during 2003. Mortgage loans and gestation mortgage-backed securities collateralize the mortgage warehouse facility borrowings. The mortgage warehouse facility is annually renewable and currently expires in August 2004. There was $53,340 outstanding under the mortgage warehouse facility at December 31, 2003.

The mortgage warehouse facility agreement includes, among other items, restrictions on NVRM incurring additional borrowings and making intercompany dividends and tax payments. In addition, NVRM is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $14,000. At December 31, 2003, borrowing base limitations reduced the amount available to NVRM for borrowings to approximately $87,600

20

Table of Contents

NVRM currently has available an aggregate of $50,000 of borrowing capacity in an uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreement. Amounts outstanding thereunder accrue interest at various rates tied to the Libor rate and are collateralized by gestation mortgage-backed securities and whole loans. The uncommitted facility generally requires NVRM to, among other items, maintain a minimum net worth and limit its level of liabilities in relation to its net worth. The weighted-average interest rates for amounts outstanding under these uncommitted facilities were 1.8% and 2.3% during 2003 and 2002, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreement at December 31, 2003.

The following table represents the contractual balances of NVR’s on-balance sheet financial instruments in dollars at the expected maturity dates, as well as the fair values of those on balance sheet financial instruments, at December 31, 2003. The expected maturity categories take into consideration historical and anticipated prepayment speeds, as well as actual amortization of principal and does not take into consideration the reinvestment of cash or the refinancing of existing indebtedness. Because NVR sells all of the mortgage loans it originates into the secondary markets, NVR has made the assumption that the portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale will mature in the first year. Consequently, outstanding warehouse borrowings and repurchase facilities are also assumed to mature in the first year.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

NVR, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NVR, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NVR, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, NVR, Inc. and subsidiaries adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” effective January 1, 2002, and the provisions of FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to variable interest entities created subsequent to February 1, 2003.
