                                  INTRODUCTION

         On June 19, 2001, Standard Pacific Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering 1,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share issuable under
the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan of Standard Pacific Corp. This Registration
Statement on Form S-8 is filed by the Company to register an additional
1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, issuable under such plan as a
result of an amendment to the plan, and consists of only those items required by
General Instruction E to Form S-8.

                                     PART I
              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(A) PROSPECTUS

Item 2.  Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information.*

*        Information required by Part I of Form S-8 to be contained in the
         Section 10(a) prospectus is omitted from this registration statement in
         accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
         and the Note to Part I of Form S-8.

                                     PART II
               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

         In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-63326)
previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 19, 2001, which relates to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan of Standard

             INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCORPORATED
                  BY REFERENCE INTO THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT

         On June 5, 2002, we announced that we had appointed Ernst & Young LLP
to replace Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditors. Our consolidated
balance sheets as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001 incorporated by reference in this
registration statement have been audited by Andersen, as stated in their report
dated January 21, 2002, which is incorporated by reference herein. After
reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Andersen's consent to the
incorporation by reference into this registration statement of Andersen's report
with respect to these financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a
under the Securities Act permits us to file this registration statement without
a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent may limit recovery
by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without limitation, investors
will not be able to assert claims against Andersen under Section 11 of the
Securities Act. In addition, the ability of Andersen to satisfy any claims
(including claims arising from Andersen's provision of auditing and other
services to us) may be limited as a practical matter due to recent events
regarding Andersen.
