Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On May 29, 1997, Monterey Homes Corporation ("Monterey") signed a definitive agreement with Legacy Homes, Ltd., Legacy Enterprises, Inc., and John Landon and Eleanor Landon (together, the "Legacy Entities"), to acquire substantially all of the assets of Legacy Homes, Ltd. and Legacy Enterprises, Inc. and a related mortgage banking business. The transaction was effective as of July 1, 1997. The consideration for the assets and stock acquired consisted of $1,581,685 in cash (paid out of working capital and subject to final accounting adjustments), 666,667 shares of Monterey common stock and deferred contingent payments for the four years following the close of the transaction. The deferred contingent payments will be equal to 12% of the pre-tax income of Monterey and 20% of the pre-tax income of the Texas division of Monterey. In no event will the total of the deferred contingent payments exceed $15 million. In addition, Monterey assumed substantially all the liabilities of the Legacy Entities, including indebtedness that was incurred prior to the closing of the transactions to fund distributions to the shareholders of Legacy Homes that reduced its book value to less than $200,000. The assets purchased from the Legacy Entities principally consist of real property and other residential home building assets located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston and Austin metropolitan areas. Monterey will continue the operations of the Legacy Entities. In connection with the transactions, John Landon has entered into a four-year employment agreement with Monterey pursuant to which he has been appointed Chief Operating Officer and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Monterey, and President and Chief Executive Officer of Monterey's newly acquired Texas operations. Mr. Landon has also been granted an option to purchase 166,667 shares of Monterey's common stock, exercisable in equal annual increments over three years, commencing July 1, 1998. In addition, Monterey has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause Mr. Landon to be elected to its Board of Directors. Monterey officials believe that actual 1997 revenues, factoring in the Legacy acquisition, could reach $150 million, and earnings could reach $10 million, or approximately $1.61 per share. Company officials also estimate that pro forma 1997 revenues (giving effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997) could reach $200 million.
