Page 6 of 12


Table of Contents

     As stated in Item 4 below, all of the funds necessary to fund the transactions in the Dowers Sale Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below) are to be obtained from the proceeds of closing under the CPH2 Sale Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below). Accordingly, no financing is required for such transactions.

Item 4. Purpose of Transactions

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and updated as follows:

     On December 5, 2002, CPH2, Makallon, LLC (“Makallon”) and California Housing Finance, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “CPH2 Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, including but not limited to the conditions to closing contained therein, the Partnership and Makallon have agreed to purchase from CPH2 a total of 1,674,737 shares of common stock of CPH (“Shares”). If this transaction is consummated, the Partnership will acquire 902,425 Shares and Makallon will acquire 772,312 Shares and CPH2’s holdings in the Company will decline by 1,674,737 Shares.

     In addition, on December 5, 2002, CPH2 and Dowers entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Dowers Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, including but not limited to the conditions to closing contained therein, in exchange for selling all of his interest in CPH2 to CPH2 and releasing all of his claims against the other Stipulation Parties (as defined below), Dowers will receive from CPH2 approximately $11.3 Million, a substantial portion of which will be used by Dowers to pay contingency-based legal fees (the “Dowers Settlement Consideration”) consisting of $9.3 Million plus $2 Million (the “Escrow Amount”) placed into an escrow account pending the closing under the CPH2 Sale Agreement (less any amounts spent by CPH in printing and delivering notice of the settlement of the Action (as defined below) to its shareholders and plus any earnings on such Escrow Amount the (“Net Escrow Balance”)). In addition, CPH2 has agreed to pay $200,000 directly to Dowers’ counsel (the “Counsel Payment”). The Counsel Payment and the Dowers Settlement Consideration will be paid entirely from the proceeds of the sale of Shares formerly beneficially owned by Dowers under the CPH2 Sale Agreement.

     The CPH2 Sale Agreement and the Dowers Sale Agreement were entered into pursuant to that certain Stipulation of Settlement dated as of December 5, 2002 (the “Stipulation”) among the Partnership and certain persons and entities related thereto, CPH, Hadi Makarechian and certain of the Company’s other directors, Capital Pacific Holdings, LLC, CPH2, CPH3, Makallon, Paul Makarechian, Makar Properties, LLC and Dowers (the “Stipulation Parties”). The Stipulation was entered into by the Stipulation Parties to settle fully all of the claims and counter-claims brought in the case Dale Dowers v. Hadi Makarechian, et al. (Orange County Superior Court Case No. 01 CC 06121) (the “Action”), and was submitted to the Court for its consideration on December 5, 2002. The proposed settlement set forth in the Stipulation includes, among other things, releases granted by the plaintiff and the defendants in the Action and by CPH2, CPH3, CPH and Capital Pacific Holdings, LLC; CPH’s agreement to institute new corporate governance provisions; and certain other contemplated transactions, including the CPH2 Sale Agreement and the Dowers Sale Agreement, further described as follows:

Page 7 of 12


Table of Contents

     First, if the Court enters an order preliminarily approving the settlement set forth in the Stipulation and providing for notice of the settlement to the Company’s shareholders, the Partnership will deposit the Escrow Amount.

     Second, if the transactions under the CPH2 Sale Agreement are consummated, CPH2 will sell and the Partnership will acquire 902,425 Shares of Voting Common Stock and Makallon will acquire 772,312 Shares of Voting Common Stock, subject to Makallon’s obligation to simultaneously exchange such shares for Non-Voting Stock pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement as further described below. Payment for these Shares will be divided into three parts: (1) the Partnership will pay the Counsel Payment directly to Dowers’ counsel on behalf of CPH2; (2) the Partnership will pay $3,994,217 and the Net Escrow Balance directly to Dowers on behalf of CPH2; and (3) Makallon will pay $5,305,783 directly to Dowers on behalf of CPH2. These payments will satisfy all of CPH2’s payment obligations under the Stipulation and the Dowers Sale Agreement.

     Third, on December 5, 2002, the Company, CPH2, CPH3, the Partnership, and Makallon entered into a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”). Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the CPH2 Sale Agreement, Makallon has agreed to exchange the 772,312 Shares of Voting Common Stock it has agreed to purchase from CPH2 for newly issued, Non-Voting Common Stock. Under the Conversion Agreement, the Company has agreed to exchange the Shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be owned by Makallon for Shares of Voting Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the Partnership and Makallon are granted registration rights for all of the Shares they have each agreed to acquire pursuant to the CPH2 Sale Agreement under that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated October 1, 1997 by and between the Company and the Partnership (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), as amended by Section 2.3(b) of the Interest Exchange Agreement dated as of February 15, 2001 by and between the Company and the Partnership (the “Exchange Agreement”).

     Finally, certain of the Stipulation Parties have separately entered into an agreement and release (the “Agreement and Release”), pursuant to which they have granted various releases to each other related to the Action.

     The closings under each of the Dowers Sale Agreement, the CPH2 Sale Agreement and the Conversion Agreement (together, the “Operative Agreements”), the effectiveness of the releases under the Agreement and Release and any other provisions included in the Stipulation are contingent upon the Court’s entry of a judgment and order for dismissal with respect to the Action, the time for an appeal of such judgment having run and such judgment becoming final, the satisfaction of the closing conditions under each of the Operative Agreements and certain other matters set forth in the Stipulation.

     This summary of the Stipulation, the Dowers Sale Agreement, the CPH2 Sale Agreement and the Conversion Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of each such agreement. The Dowers Sale Agreement is filed as an Exhibit “5” to this Schedule 13D/A. The CPH2 Sale Agreement and the Conversion Agreement are filed as filed as Exhibits “Q” and “R”, respectively, to the Schedule 13D filed by the Partnership on or about December 5, 2002
