REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants in and the Plan Administrator of
Beazer Homes USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Beazer Homes
USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 4, the Plan prospectively adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plans
management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic 2008 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Beazer Homes USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plans provisions.
General The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to encourage and assist employees in
saving and investing payroll withholdings for the purpose of receiving retirement benefits. The
Plan is a savings and investment plan covering eligible employees of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company). The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Companys
Board of Directors and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
Eligibility All employees who have attained 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the
Plan on the first day of the month following the completion of 30 days of service.
Contributions Contributions to the Plan are comprised of salary deferral contributions by Plan
participants, Company matching contributions, Company discretionary contributions, and rollovers
from other plans. Non highly compensated employees may elect to make a salary deferral
contribution of 1% to 80% of annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, up to a maximum of $15,500
($20,500 for participants who are at least 50 years old) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. There is an administrative limit on the salary deferral contributions of highly compensated
employees equal to 8% of annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, up to a maximum of $15,500
($20,500 for participants who are at least 50 years old) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. In addition, the Companys matching contributions are discretionary, but the Company has
historically made Company matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 6% of annual earnings
contributed by the employees. The Company did make such matching contributions for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The Company may elect, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to make an additional
discretionary contribution. The Company did not make any additional discretionary contributions
for the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Participant Accounts Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Participant
accounts are credited with participant and Company contributions and an allocation of the Plans
earnings and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of the Plans losses and administrative
expenses, as applicable. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested balance in
their account.
Gains and losses on plan investments are allocated between all participants accounts in the same
proportion that each participants account bears to the total of all participants accounts within
specified investment funds.
Each participant may direct the investment of his or her account to the various investment options
offered by the Plan, which includes a Company stock fund (see Note 6).
6
Vesting of Benefits Participants become vested in the Company discretionary contributions and the
Company matching contributions in accordance with the following schedule:
|
|
|
|
|
Completed Years of Service |
|
Percentage Vested |
Less than two years |
|
|
0 |
% |
Two, but less than three years |
|
|
25 |
% |
Three, but less than four years |
|
|
50 |
% |
Four, but less than five years |
|
|
75 |
% |
Five years or more |
|
|
100 |
% |
Amounts forfeited upon termination are used to reduce future Company contributions. At December
31, 2008 and 2007, forfeited non-vested accounts available to reduce future Company contributions
totaled approximately $44,000 and $157,000, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007 the Companys contributions were reduced by approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, for forfeitures.
The salary deferral contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Distributions Upon normal retirement, permanent disability, death or termination of employment
the participant or his or her designated beneficiary may receive his or her vested interest in the
Plan in the form of a lump-sum payment.
Participant Loans A participant may request a loan equal to part or all of the value of his or
her salary deferral contributions and the vested portion of the Company matching contributions
subject to a minimum of $1,000, but not to exceed the lesser of (1) one-half of the participants
vested percentage of his account or (2) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan amount in
the past 12 months. Such loans bear interest at a fixed rate for the term of the loan, equal to
the prime rate at the beginning of the month in which the loan is made plus 1% (4.25% and 8.25% at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively). The loan balance is collateralized by the participants
account. Upon retirement or termination of the participants employment, distributions from a
participants account are made net of the outstanding loan balance. The loans are repaid through
salary withholdings over periods generally ranging from 1 to 5 years except that the repayment
period for loans made for the purchase of a home may range from 1 to 10 years. These periods may
be extended for leaves of absences due to military duty or disability.
Payment of Benefits- On termination of service, a participant with a vested balance greater than
$1,000 in the plan may 1) elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the participants vested
interest in his or her account or 2) elect to leave his or her investments in the Plan until such
time as the participant elects to receive such funds or the participants death.
Administrative Expenses Administrative costs and expenses are generally paid by the Company, with
the exception of miscellaneous charges for loans and distributions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
7
New Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not
require new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by
establishing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. On January 1,
2008, the Plan prospectively adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 (see Note 4). The effect of the
adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on statements of net assets available for benefits and
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio Fund is a
stable value fund established under the Declaration of Trust for the Fidelity Group Trust for
Employee Benefit Plans (the Stable Value Fund). The beneficial interest of each participant is
represented by units. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the Funds constant net asset value
(NAV) of $1 per unit. Distribution to the Funds unit holders are declared daily from the net
investment income and automatically reinvested in the Fund on a monthly basis, when paid. It is the
policy of the Stable Value Fund to use its best efforts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1
per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Stable Value Fund will be able to maintain this
value.
The Stable Value Fund may invest in fixed interest insurance investment contracts, money market
funds, corporate and government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds, and other fixed
income securities and enters into wrapper contracts issued by third parties. Wrap contracts are
designed to allow a stable value portfolio to maintain a constant NAV and protect a portfolio in
extreme circumstances. The Stable Value Fund is unlikely to maintain a stable NAV if, for any
reason, it cannot obtain or maintain wrap contracts covering all of its underlying assets. Wrap
contracts are not transferable, have no trading market and there are a limited number of wrap
issuers. In a typical wrap contract, the wrap issuer agrees to pay a portfolio the difference
between the contract value and the market value of the underlying assets once the market value has
been totally exhausted. In the event that wrap contracts fail to perform as intended, the Stable
Value Funds NAV may decline if the market value of its assets declines. The Stable Value Funds
ability to receive amounts due pursuant to these wrap contracts is dependent on the third-party
issuers ability to meet their financial obligations which may be affected by future economic and
regulatory developments.
Investments, other than investments in the Stable Value Fund and participant loans, are stated at
fair value based on quoted market prices in an active market. The Stable Value
Fund is stated at fair value as determined by the issuer of the Stable Value Fund based on the fair
value of the underlying investments and then adjusted to contract value as described above. Net
appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments represents the change in fair value
during the year, including realized gains and losses on investments sold during the period. The
participant loans are valued at the outstanding loan balances, which approximates fair value.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and
SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment
Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare
and Pension Plans (the FSP), the Stable Value Fund is included at fair value in
participant-directed investments in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits, and an
additional line item is presented representing the adjustment from fair value to
8
contract value.
The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are presented on a contract value
basis.
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their
investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus
earnings, less participant withdrawals.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Management fees charged to the Plan for investments in mutual funds are deducted from income earned
on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees are reflected as
a reduction of investment return for such investments.
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties 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 net assets
available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment
instruments, including mutual funds, common stock and a stable value fund. Investment securities,
in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market
volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
reasonably possible that changes in values of investment securities will occur in the near term and
that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Payment of Benefits Benefit payments are recorded upon distribution.

4. Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted SFAS 157, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at
the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or
financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly; |
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant
to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
As required by SFAS 157, the Plans assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Plan held no Level 3 assets
as of
10
December 31, 2008. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy
the Plans investment assets at fair value, as of December 31, 2008:

5. Federal Income Tax Status
Effective January 3, 2006, in connection with the change in trustees to Fidelity Management Trust
Company (Fidelity), the Plan was modified to a Fidelity prototype plan with non-standard
amendments. The prototype plan document used by the Plan is sponsored by Fidelity. Fidelity has
received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which states that the
prototype document satisfies the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The
Plan as modified has not received a current determination letter from the IRS. However, the Plans
management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the
Plans financial statements.
As soon as the Plan is procedurally eligible to do so under current IRC guidelines, the Plans
management intends to request a determination from the IRS that the modified plan is qualified, and
that the trust established under the modified plan is tax-exempt under the appropriate sections of
the IRC.
6. Exempt Party-In-Interest Transactions
Party-in-interest investments held by the Plan included 492,091 shares and 592,673 shares of Beazer
Homes USA, Inc. common stock at December 31, 2008 and 2007, with a fair value of approximately
$778,000 and $4.4 million, respectively. There were no dividends earned on Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
common stock for the year ended December 31, 2008. Dividend income earned on Beazer Homes USA,
Inc. common stock was approximately $181,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Investments in the Plans Beazer Homes USA, Inc. common stock fund were suspended effective
December 7, 2007. Accordingly, a blackout period went into effect under the Plan during which Plan
participants are unable to direct investments into the Beazer Homes USA, Inc. common stock fund.
This blackout period began on December 7, 2007 at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, and will end at
4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on a date to be determined by the Companys Compensation
Committee.
Certain Plan investments are shares of investment funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the
trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt
party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services were
included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund.
11
7. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to
discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
8. Litigation
On April 30, 2007, a putative class action complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class
consisting of present and former participants and beneficiaries of the Plan. The complaint was
filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint
alleges breach of fiduciary duties, including those set forth in ERISA, as a result of the
investment of retirement monies held by the Plan in common stock of Beazer Homes at a time when
participants were allegedly not provided timely, accurate and complete information concerning
Beazer Homes. Four additional lawsuits were filed subsequently on May 11, 2007, May 14, 2007, June
15, 2007 and July 27, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
making similar allegations. The court has consolidated these five lawsuits, and on June 27, 2008,
the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint names as
defendants Beazer Homes, the Companys chief executive officer, certain current and former
directors of the Company, including the members of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and certain employees of the Company who acted as
members of the Companys 401(k) Committee. On October 10, 2008, the Company and the other
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Briefing of the motion
was completed in January 2009. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these actions.
The Plan is not a party to these matters.
