Sales were $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared
to $8.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit was $1.1 million
compared to $1.5 million for the same quarter in 1998. Gross margin for the
quarter was 17.8 percent compared to 17.5 percent for the same period a year
ago. The margin, excluding real estate sales, declined to 15.9 percent as
compared to 17.5 percent in the same 1998 period.

Sales were negatively impacted by reduced start rates of manufactured housing.
Start rates are expected to remain low in the near term until excess inventories
of homes on retail lots have been sold.

Selling and general administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 increased $254,000 over the same quarter in 1998. Approximately $150,000 of
the increase was attributed to the purchase of Ford's Tires & Axles in January
1999 and $71,000 was related to system conversion and Y2K preparation. Payroll
costs were reduced by approximately 10 percent during the quarter ending
December 31, 1999 as compared to the preceding quarter ending September 30,
1999.

The company's California and Arizona locations continued to experience
competitive pressures which negatively impacted margin. Of the $479,000 pre-tax
loss, California and Arizona accounted for approximately $125,000 and $205,000
of that loss, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the company's principal sources of liquidity have been retained
earnings from operations as well as borrowings under a revolving line of credit
with a bank. The company has a $3,000,000 maximum bank line of credit secured by
designated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. The
company secured an increase of $1,000,000 during the quarter ending December 31,
1999. The credit line bears interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 2.60
percent.

Authorized stock of the company consists of 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. No shares
of preferred stock have been issued. The company also has 4,500,644 outstanding
warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share of common stock at $4.00 per share. The warrants were exercisable
beginning December 21, 1996 and expire December 21, 2000. The warrants are
redeemable by the company with 30 days written notice at the rate of $.10 per
warrant after December 21, 1996 and only if the average stock closing bid price
equals or exceeds $7.50 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The company
does not have the ability to the call the warrants as of December 31, 1999
because it has not met the closing bid requirements.
