Note 1:

      Al R. Ghelfi is the Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Issuer. As
of June 29, 1994, Al R. Ghelfi and his spouse, Janet M. Ghelfi (as community
property) owned 1,830,729* shares of Cavco Common Stock. On June 29, 1994, they
transferred 1,650,000 of these shares to Janal Limited Partnership ("Janal"), an
Arizona limited partnership controlled by Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi. The sole
general partners of Janal are the Alfred and Janet Ghelfi Trust, a trust created
in Arizona on August 24, 1989, and The 1994 Alsons Trust, a trust created in
Arizona on February 9, 1994 (collectively, the "Ghelfi Trusts"). The sole
limited partners of Janal are the Ghelfi Trusts, Al Ghelfi, Janet Ghelfi and
their descendants. The sole trustees of the Ghelfi Trusts are Al Ghelfi and
Janet Ghelfi, and the sole beneficiaries of the Ghelfi Trusts are Al Ghelfi,
Janet Ghelfi and their descendants. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1996, Al
Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi were the record and beneficial owners of 180,729 shares
of Common Stock, representing 5.14% of the outstanding shares, and also share in
the beneficial ownership of 1,650,000 shares of Common Stock held of record by
Janal, representing 46.93% of the outstanding shares.

      *     The actual number of shares as of June 29, 1994 was 1,220,486, which
            has been adjusted to reflect a 3 for 2 stock split on December 8,
            1994.

      Although Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi, as the sole trustees of the Ghelfi
Trusts, have power and authority to direct the business of Janal and,
accordingly, exercise power to vote and dispose of the 1,650,000 shares of
Common Stock held by Janal, they are acting in a fiduciary capacity with respect
to such shares and, therefore, may be deemed to share the power to vote and
dispose of such 1,650,000 shares with Janal and the Ghelfi Trusts. Such
1,650,000 shares are further subject to a Voting Agreement entered into as of
December 4, 1996, between Centex Real Estate Corporation ("CREC"), Al Ghelfi,
Janet Ghelfi and Janal, the terms of which are described below (the "Voting
Agreement"). Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the Voting Agreement caused Janal and
the Ghelfi Trusts to acquire beneficial ownership of the 180,729 shares of Cavco
Common Stock held by Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi. Neither Janal nor the Ghelfi
Trusts have or share any power to vote or dispose of the 180,729 shares held by
Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi, except for their mutual agreement under the Voting
Agreement to vote their shares as provided therein.

      The shares beneficially owned by Janal and the Ghelfi Trusts, including
the 1,650,000 shares owned of record by Janal and the 180,729 shares owned of
record by Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi, are the subject of an amended and restated
statement on Schedule 13D dated December 11, 1996.

      On December 4, 1996, the following parties entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Issuer, CREC, MFH
Holding Company, a Nevada corporation (the "Holding Company"), MFH Acquisition
Company, an Arizona corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding
Company (the "Merger Subsidiary")


                                                                     Page 7 of 9
<PAGE>   8
and certain shareholders of the Issuer, Al Ghelfi, Janet Ghelfi and Janal (the
"Shareholder Parties"). The Merger Agreement is subject to certain conditions,
including the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer. If the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Merger Subsidiary will
merge with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), the Shareholder Parties will
contribute 783,441 shares of Cavco Common Stock to the Holding Company in
exchange for Holding Company shares, and all other shares of Cavco Common Stock
(other than shares held by dissenting shareholders, if any, who exercise
dissenters' rights pursuant to Arizona law) will be converted into the right to
receive $26.75 per share in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). In exchange for
Holding Company shares, CREC will contribute cash to the Holding Company in an
amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration and any amounts payable to
dissenting shareholders. Each Merger Subsidiary share that is outstanding will
be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock in the Issuer,
as the surviving corporation, and the corporate existence of the Merger
Subsidiary will cease.

      Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the Issuer, as the surviving corporation, will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Holding Company. CREC will hold approximately 78% of the
common stock of the Holding Company, and the Shareholder Parties will hold the
remaining approximately 22% of such common stock. CREC, the Holding Company and
the Shareholder Parties have agreed to enter into a Shareholders' Agreement upon
consummation of the Merger, pursuant to which all of their shares will be
subject to certain transfer restrictions, and the shares held by the Shareholder
Parties will be subject to certain put options (beginning in 2000) and certain
call options (beginning in 2002) whereby CREC may acquire all of the Shareholder
Parties' interest in the Holding Company on the terms and conditions set forth
therein (the "Holding Company Shareholders' Agreement"). The Holding Company
Shareholders' Agreement also provides for certain rights of the Shareholder
Parties and CREC to designate directors, super-majority board approval
requirements for significant actions and transactions, agreements relating to
the payment of dividends, and certain rights of first negotiation and rights of
first refusal in favor of the Shareholder Parties with respect to the sale or
transfer of certain assets of Cavco and its subsidiaries. The descriptions set
forth in this Schedule 13G of the Merger Agreement and the proposed Holding
Company Shareholders' Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Issuer's Current Report on Form
8-K dated December 4, 1996, and filed with the Securities Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") on December 16, 1996, as amended by the Issuer's Current
Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on December 19, 1996 (the
"Issuer's Form 8-K"), the Issuer's Preliminary Schedule 14A filed with the
Commission on January 7, 1997 (the "Issuer's Schedule 14A"), the Rule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed by the Issuer and the Shareholder Parties with the
Commission on January 7, 1997 (the "Schedule 13E-3") and the Merger Agreement
and the Holding Company Shareholder's Agreement, copies of which are attached as
Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer's Form 8-K.


                                                                     Page 8 of 9
<PAGE>   9


      Consummation of the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement is
conditioned, among other things, upon the Merger Agreement being approved and
adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Cavco Common
Stock. On December 4, 1996, the Shareholder Parties entered into the Voting
Agreement with CREC, whereby the Shareholder Parties agreed to vote all
1,830,729 shares of Cavco Common Stock owned by them (representing approximately
52.07% of the total shares presently outstanding) in favor of the Merger
Agreement and against any inconsistent transactions. In addition, the
Shareholder Parties have agreed to restrict their ability to sell or transfer
any such shares or to grant any proxies or to enter into any other voting
arrangements with respect to such shares. The descriptions set forth in this
Schedule 13G of the terms of the Voting Agreement are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Issuer's Form 8-K, the Issuer's Schedule 14A, the
Schedule 13E-3 and the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
99.1 to the Issuer's Form 8-K.

      Also on December 4, 1996, the Shareholder Parties entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement with CREC (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), whereby the
parties have agreed that in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated for
certain reasons, the Shareholder Parties will sell to CREC, and CREC will
purchase from the Shareholder Parties, an aggregate of 1,047,288 shares of Cavco
Common Stock (representing approximately 29.79% of the total shares presently
outstanding). If the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement
are consummated, the Shareholder Parties and CREC have agreed to enter into a
Shareholders' Agreement with regard to their shares of Cavco Common Stock (the
"Cavco Shareholders' Agreement") and to use their best efforts to cause the
Company to become a party thereto. The Cavco Shareholders' Agreement provides
for certain transfer restrictions on the Cavco Common Stock held by CREC and the
Shareholder Parties and provides that such shares will be subject to certain put
options (beginning in 2000) and certain call options (beginning in 2002) whereby
CREC may acquire all of the Shareholder Parties' Cavco Common Stock on the terms
and conditions set forth therein. The Cavco Shareholders' Agreement also
provides for certain agreements among the Shareholder Parties and CREC with
respect to the election of directors, super-majority board approval requirements
for significant actions and transactions and agreements relating to the payment
of dividends. The descriptions set forth in this Schedule 13G of the terms of
the Stock Purchase Agreement and the proposed Cavco Shareholders' Agreement are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Issuer's Form 8-K, the Issuer's
Schedule 14A, the Schedule 13E-3, and the Stock Purchase Agreement and the
proposed Cavco Shareholders' Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit
99.2 to the Issuer's Form 8-K.

      Al Ghelfi and Janet Ghelfi hereby expressly disclaim membership in a group
within the meaning of Rule 13d1-(f) that includes CREC or its affiliates and
expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Cavco Common Stock that
CREC or its affiliates may be deemed to beneficially own.


                                                                     Page 9 of 9
