the year ended September 30, 1996, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

CAVCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: PROPOSED MERGER
As previously reported, on December 4, 1996, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among the Company,
Centex Real Estate Corporation ("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") and certain shareholders of Cavco, Al R. Ghelfi, the Chairman of
Cavco, his spouse, Janet M. Ghelfi, and Janal Limited Partnership, an Arizona
limited partnership ("Janal") (the "Shareholder Parties"). The purpose of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is to effect the acquisition
by CREC, through its ownership of shares in the Holding Company, of
approximately 78% of the equity interest in Cavco, with the remaining
approximately 22% equity interest to be retained by the Shareholder Parties
through their ownership of shares in the Holding Company. If the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, all shares of Cavco Common
Stock held by shareholders of Cavco other than the Shareholder Parties, together
with 1,047,288 shares of Cavco Common Stock held by the Shareholder Parties,
will be converted into the right to receive $26.75 in cash (or in the case of
shareholders who exercise appraisal rights, the amount determined under
applicable law). Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Cavco Common Stock. See (i) the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated December 12, 1996, as amended by the Company's Current
Report on form 8-K/A dated December 19, 1996, and (ii) "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in Part
II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996, for additional information concerning the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 1997 with cash of $1,405,177 and
working capital of $5,835,758. Cash and working capital positions tend to
fluctuate throughout the fiscal year as a result of the internal funding of the
expansion of NSC's lease fleet. Net cash used in operations was $6,449,901. This
net use of cash reflects $1.6 million of net income and depreciation of
$515,096, offset by a $4.8 million increase in accounts receivable, $1.2 million
added to prepaid expenses, and $2.5 million of income taxes paid during the
quarter.
Uses of cash during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 include $676,614 for
purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company purchased a new
engineering and drafting software package for approximately $268,000. NSC
invested approximately $268,000 toward a new system for leasing, billing and
inventory tracking. NSC also spent $2,527,607 on additions to its lease fleet.
NSC received $511,282 from sales of lease fleet units and $484,699 from
collections on its finance lease receivables during the first quarter of fiscal
1997.
8
<PAGE> 9
The Company has a $4 million revolving bank line of credit that may be used to
fund working capital needs. The Company borrowed $2 million on the line in
January 1997. Available borrowings are subject to a borrowing base formula based
on inventories and accounts receivable. Long term debt repayments of $3,142,063
during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 include a $2,050,000 principal
repayment on the Company's convertible note. NSC has a $15 million line of
credit arrangement to support its lease fleet expansion. NSC continues to expand
its investment in its lease fleet, and at December 31, 1996, had approximately
$3.6 million in available borrowings on its line of credit. NSC has not borrowed
any funds under this line of credit during fiscal 1997 and repaid $917,000 on
the line of credit during the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Sun Built has a
$1.4 million line of credit that is used to finance purchases of manufactured
homes for its subdivisions. Repayments are made from the proceeds on the sales
of the homes. Sun Built repaid $154,573 on its line of credit during the quarter
ended December 31, 1996. The remaining debt repayments during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 were for mortgages and other loans of the Company.
Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company converted the
outstanding balance of a promissory note issued on April 28, 1994, to Carl
Osterman, as Trustee of the Cavco Convertible Note Trust, in accordance with the
terms of the note and the related loan agreement. The outstanding balance on
December 31, 1996 of $2,050,000 was converted into 128,084 shares of the
Company's common stock in February 1997.
The Company has budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $4.8 million for
construction of the new manufacturing facility in New Mexico, to be financed in
part through industrial revenue bond financing currently under negotiation. The
Company believes that its existing cash, available lines of credit, and cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet capital expenditure, debt
service and other liquidity requirements for fiscal 1997.
During the past three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company's operations. The Company has demonstrated its ability to adjust the
manufacturing costs of its products through engineering changes and effective
price negotiations, and has been able to adjust the selling price of its
products in response to changing costs.

</TABLE>
(a) Manufacturing Operations include operating results of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Built.
Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 increased $3,397,066, or 11.1
percent, over the corresponding quarter reported for the previous year. Sales
from the Company's manufacturing operations accounted for $3 million of the
increase, which was made up of an increase in manufactured housing sales of $4.3
million, due to increased production capacity, improved productivity and
improved market conditions, offset in part by a $1.3 million decrease in Sun
Built's sales. Sun Built's revenues for the first quarter of the prior year
reflected the completion of a large subdivision sale in December 1995. Total
revenues from the leasing operations increased approximately $420,000, primarily
as a result of increased lease revenues generated on a larger lease fleet.
Leasing revenue increased approximately $485,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, while sales of security containers and trailer vans by the leasing
operations decreased approximately $65,000 over the same period last year.
The Company's gross profit margins decreased slightly from 21.1 percent in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 20.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal
1997. Manufacturing operations experienced a gross margin of 18.3 percent in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 19.0 percent for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, due in part to the holiday schedule of the Company's manufacturing
facilities. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, all three manufacturing
facilities were shut down for 1-1/2 weeks during the holidays. In the prior
year, only two facilities shut down for one week. Gross margins in Sun Built
declined from 15.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 8.9 percent
for first quarter of fiscal 1997. This decrease was due primarily to the large
subdivision sale in December 1995, described above. Gross profit margins in the
leasing operations increased from 50.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 to 53.5 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Margins in the leasing
segment are influenced by the mix of leasing revenues and sales revenues. During
fiscal 1997, margins from leasing activities have averaged near 61 percent,
while margins on sales of security containers and trailer vans have approximated
22 percent.
10
<PAGE> 11
Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect an increase of $914,406 in
the quarter ended December 31, 1996 over the same quarter in the prior year.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred $308,198 of
legal and other costs related to the Merger Agreement. The Company incurred
approximately $105,000 in additional payroll costs in the quarter ended December
31, 1996 for personnel involved in the construction and planning of a new
manufacturing facility in New Mexico. Selling expenses in the Company's
manufactured housing operations increased by 23.1 percent to $3,360,227,
primarily as a result of the improved revenues. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the Company's leasing operations increased by 41.3
percent to $969,506 in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, due to increases in
wages, rent and other office costs as the leasing subsidiary continues to
develop its corporate office and sales team.
Other income is comparable between the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. The increase in interest income in the quarter ended December 31, 1996
resulted from higher cash balances early in the quarter.
Income from continuing operations was $1,571,900 or $0.46 per share and
$1,722,501 or $0.51 per share, for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. This decrease of $151,055 or $.05 per share was due
primarily to the increased legal and other costs associated with the Merger
Agreement described above, offset in part by improved revenues. Net income was
$1,558,332, or $0.46 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared
to $1,663,002, or $0.49 per share, for the same quarter in the prior year, a
decrease of $104,670, or $.03 per share.
