        received by the independent shareholders of the Company in the
        acquisition of a majority interest in the Company by Centex Corporation
        ("Centex").

        The independent shareholders collectively own shares representing
        approximately 49% of the fully diluted shares of the Company. The other

                        Centex will concurrently purchase an additional 29% of
                        the Company from the Company's majority shareholders for

                        If the majority shareholders do not exercise their put
                        rights for their remaining 22% ownership interest by the
                        end of the fifth year following the purchase from the
                        independent shareholders, Centex has a call option on
                        this remaining 22% interest as follows:

                                 - At the end of year five following the
                                   purchase from the independent shareholders

                        fiduciary obligations, may accept a higher offer from a
                        third party provided that such offer results in cash

                        OVERVIEW OF MANUFACTURED HOUSING INDUSTRY


ACCORDING TO THE        -  Manufactured homes differ from conventional
MANUFACTURED               site-built homes
HOUSING INSTITUTE,         --  required to be permanently affixed to a steel
NEW MANUFACTURED           chassis
HOME SHIPMENTS             --  must be able to attach wheels to enable transport
INCREASED TO 339,600       of home (although homes are rarely relocated due to
IN 1995 (AN 11%            the relatively high moving costs)
INCREASE OVER 1994),
REPRESENTING 33.2%      -  Manufactured homes are a low cost alternative to
OF ALL NEW SINGLE          conventional single family homes and come in two
FAMILY HOMES BUILT         forms:
IN 1995. THE               --  single section homes: typically 12'-18' by
NUMBER OF NEW              60'-80'
SINGLE FAMILY SITE-        --  multi-section homes: consist of two or more
BUILT HOMES                sections, each transported on a chassis, and then
DECLINED 7.5%              "married" on the land site to become one home
DURING THAT SAME
PERIOD                  -  The average single section manufactured home in 1994
                           retailed for $23,900 and consisted of 1,085 square
                           feet. The average multi-section home retailed for
                           $42,900 and consisted of 1,565 square feet of living
                           space

                        -  The 1993 median income of manufactured home buyers
                           was $22,300 while the average age was 51. Both
                           figures have increased over the past decade

                        -  The low cost of manufactured homes makes the market
                           relatively insensitive to interest rates. However,
                           the relatively low income of manufactured home
                           purchasers makes the market sensitive to economic
                           downturns and recessionary forces

                        -  According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, new
                           manufactured home shipments increased to 339,600 in
                           1995 (an 11% increase over 1994), representing 33.2%
                           of all new single family homes built in 1995. The
                           number of new single family site-built homes declined
                           7.5% during that same period

                        -  Analysts currently estimate that approximately 50%
                           of the new manufactured homes developed each year are
                           located in manufactured housing communities

                        -  The Manufactured Housing Institute has determined
                           that:
                           --  manufactured housing has increased as a percent
                           of the U.S. housing market every year for the past 50
                           years
                           -- one out of every fourteen homes (or approximately
                           7.0%) in the U.S. is a manufactured home

                        MANUFACTURED HOUSING INDUSTRY OUTLOOK


GS&CO. EQUITY           -  Key factors driving the market share growth in the
RESEARCH REMAINS           single family housing market are the dramatically
VERY POSITIVE ON THE       improved product offering and value due to the
MANUFACTURED               efficiency of assembly-line production.
HOUSING INDUSTRY
                        -  As manufactured homebuilders diversify their
                           geographic base, and builders continue to expand
                           their community offerings of factory-built homes, we
                           believe that consumer acceptance will continue to
                           grow.

                        -  As awareness of the different designs, quality
                           building materials, and highly competitive price
                           tags versus stick-built homes is expanded, we
                           believe that demand for these homes will grow.
 
                        -  We are expecting an expanded business cycle for
                           manufactured housing companies versus conventional
                           builders.

                        -  We expect manufactured housing to comprise in excess
                           of 30% and 40% of total single-family starts and
                           sales, respectively, by the year 2000. This gain
                           likely will be bolstered by continuing and
                           diversified growth in the employment base within
                           traditionally strong markets for manufactured housing
                           (specifically the Southeast and Southwest).

                        -  We also expect the continuing influx of alien
                           immigration and net migration into these
                           traditionally strong markets. These demographic
                           factors are expected to fuel the demand for
                           affordable housing well into the next century.

                      THE COMPANY BUSINESS SUMMARY


                      OVERVIEW

                      -  The Company is the largest manufacturer of
                         residential and recreational housing in Arizona

                      -  In addition to manufactured housing the Company is
                         engaged in two separate businesses:
                         --  Real estate development using manufactured homes
                         --  Storage container leasing

                         Both of these are very small compared to the
                         Company's core manufactured housing business.

                         from the factory to the dealer retail outlet and
                         ultimately to the site in one or more sections and
                         are installed utilizing their own chassis on either a
                         temporary or permanent foundation
                         --  Although the manufactured housing products are
                         designated to be transportable, fewer than 5% are
                         ever moved off the owner's original site

                      -  The Company has approximately a 35% market share for
                         manufactured housing in Arizona and is one of the top
                         20 manufacturers in the U.S.

KEY DRIVERS OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

KEYS TO SUCCESS

- - Customization. Consumer expectations have been elevated, making frequent
  design updates necessary and requiring the flexibility to satisfy individual
  customer needs. The Company has a relatively sophisticated design team and
  process in place that should enable the Company to remain competitive in
  quality.

- - Positive market trends. Population and employment growth rates in the
  Southwest and Mountain States are higher than other parts of the country. In
  combination with greater acceptability at the community level, both should
  help expand the Company's opportunity.

- - Dealership network. For manufactured homes the Company has an excellent
  distribution network composed of seasoned dealers. Furthermore, expertise in
  establishing and maintaining these relationships is being leveraged in the
  container leasing segment.

- - Product line. The Company has effectively used lower-end products to enter
  markets, following with higher-end models as dealer relationships allow. The
  Company will continue to emphasize frequent design innovations and
  customization as a means to stay competitive.

ISSUES

- - Distribution. There has been a consolidation of independent dealerships as
  some of the larger manufacturers buy up dealerships to start internal retail
  sales programs. The Company has not yet embraced retailing, but if the
  standard distribution system is irrevocably altered, the Company may not be
  able to rely on dealerships alone for distributing its product.

- - Production capacity. Even after adding a new facility in 1993 and adding a
  second assembly line to that same factory, real growth could eventually be
  capped by production capacity. In order to maintain its current growth rate,
  management is adding a fourth plant outside Belen, N.M.

OBSERVATIONS ON MANUFACTURED HOME INDUSTRY
ACQUISITIONS

   Based on analysis of recent acquisitions in the industry, public statements
      by certain publicly traded manufactured housing companies and discussions
      with certain equity research analysts familiar with the manufactured
      housing industry, it appears that, in general, the range of acquisition
      multiples for small, privately held, single-market focused manufactured
      housing companies is approximately 8-10x LTM earnings.

   The only recent large acquisition in this industry occurred in October 1996
      when Champion Enterprises acquired Redman Industries for $335.2 million,
      which represented a multiple of 13.2x LTM earnings and a 15.9% premium to
      Redman's recent stock price. Redman was one of the largest companies in
      the manufactured housing sector and had a national presence. Redman
      operated 18 production plants throughout the U.S., and had LTM revenues of
      $614 million, over 1,400 retail dealers, and sales (in over 40 states) of
      approximately 25,000 homes in the past year.

   The Company is not as large or as geographically diverse as Redman. However,
      the Company is more diverse than the single market manufactured housing
      companies mentioned above. Its primary market is Arizona, which accounted
      for more than 60% of sales this past year. The Company also sells houses
      in nine other states (with New Mexico accounting for more than 20% of
      sales and Utah accounting for approximately 10% of sales).
