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 "Management's Discussion

(c) Narrative Description of Business
 
I.  MANUFACTURED HOUSING
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     The Company is a manufacturer of quality residential and recreational
manufactured housing. Cavco's manufactured housing products are manufactured in
one of three facilities located in Arizona and transported in one or more
sections for installation utilizing their own chassis on either temporary or
permanent foundations. Although Cavco's manufactured housing products are
designed to be transportable, fewer than five percent are ever moved from their
original site after installation.
 
     The Company is subject to the regulations of federal and state agencies
which dictate building codes for manufactured housing. In manufacturing its
homes, Cavco implements efficient assembly line techniques and uses materials
similar to those used in site-built homes. The Company purchases components from
outside sources, installs electrical, plumbing and heating systems and
fabricates sub-floors, walls and cabinets. Interior walls are constructed with a
drywall material and exterior walls from wood products, vinyl lap, aluminum or
anodized steel; roof construction utilizes asphalt shingles or galvanized steel.
 
     Cavco's housing products are distributed under various trademarks, with
models available in a variety of floorplans ranging in size of approximately 399
square feet for a recreational/retirement park home to a range of 546 to 2,026
square feet for a residential home. A typical home includes a living room,
dining room, one or two baths and one or more bedrooms. The base price of the
Company's homes includes carpeting, major appliances, draperies and forced air
furnaces. The Company offers numerous options and customizes models to meet the
needs of different geographical areas. Retail prices of the Company's homes
range from $19,000 to $100,000. The average price of a recreational/retirement
park home is approximately $28,000, and the average price of a residential home
is approximately $40,000.
 
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     The Company sells its manufactured homes through a network of independent
dealers and generally does not sell products directly to the general public,
except for sales in certain subdivisions developed by the Company's Sun Built
subsidiary. See "Description of Business -- Real Estate Development." The retail
prices of the Company's manufactured homes are set by individual dealers and not
by the Company. Many of the Company's independent dealers operate more than one
retail outlet. The Company presently has approximately 200 outlets in 10 states,
Canada and Japan, of which there are approximately 103 in Arizona, 27 in New
Mexico, 20 in Colorado, 15 in Utah, 6 in Texas, 4 each in Nevada and Washington,
3 in California, 2 in Idaho, 1 in Oregon, 7 in Canada and 8 in Japan. Most of
the Company's dealers sell competing products, although from time to time the
Company also may enter into exclusive agreements with certain dealers.
 
     The Company's dealers finance their purchase of manufactured homes through
floor plan financing arrangements with third-party lenders. Generally, the
Company receives a commitment from the dealer's lender for each order, which is
earmarked for the home ordered, identified by its serial number. The Company
then manufactures the home and ships it to the dealer. The dealer is responsible
for all shipping costs. Payment is due from the third party floor plan lender
upon the dealer's notice of delivery and acceptance of the product. The length
of time it takes to manufacture and ship a home after an order is placed varies
according to the Company's backlog.
 
     The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements
with the third party lenders that provide dealer floor plan financing
arrangements. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide
for the repurchase of the manufacturer's products in the event the dealer
defaults on payments. The risk of loss is spread over numerous dealers and
financing institutions and is further offset by the resale value of repurchased
units. The Company has not incurred any significant losses from these
arrangements since its inception.
 
     The Company extends a limited warranty to original retail purchasers of
manufactured housing products. The Company warrants structural components for 12
months and nonstructural components for 90 days. The
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
Company's warranty does not extend to installation, setup or appliances.
Appliances are warranted by their original manufacturer.
 
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS
 
     The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in purchasing its
raw materials or component parts. The Company buys wood, wood products,
aluminum, steel, tires, hardware, windows and doors from manufacturers and
distributors located primarily in California and Arizona. Approximately 39
percent of the unit cost of the Company's manufactured homes is attributable to
raw wood products. The majority of the other component parts of the Company's
homes are purchased manufactured components.
 
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
 
     The Company does not own any material patents, licenses, franchises,
trademarks or concessions in connection with its manufactured housing business.
The Company does not sell or grant franchises to its dealers.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     The Company's manufactured housing business is not seasonal.
 
INVENTORY
 
     The Company does not maintain a significant finished product inventory.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
     The Company currently has approximately 200 independent dealer outlets. No
dealer exceeded 10% of the Company's sales volume for the year ended September
30, 1996. The Company does not believe that the loss of any dealer would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
 
BACKLOG
 
     The Company's backlog of firm orders for manufactured homes as of September
30, 1996 was approximately $11,500,000 (710 floors) as compared with September
30, 1995, when the backlog was approximately $19,300,000. The Company currently
requires approximately six to eight weeks to fill an order. The Company
presently anticipates that the entire backlog at September 30, 1996 will be
filled during the 1997 fiscal year.
 
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     None of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The Company sells its manufactured housing products through independent
dealers located in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Texas,
Nevada, Washington, California, Idaho, Oregon, as well as Canada and Japan. The
Company estimates that there are approximately 7 other manufacturers competing
for a significant share of the Arizona market. The Company believes that its
business represents an approximate 31% share of the Arizona market and a small
share of the market in such other states. The largest competitors of the Company
are Fleetwood Enterprises, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., Schult Homes Corporation and
Champion Enterprises, Inc. Most of these competitors have manufacturing
facilities in Arizona and all have significantly greater financial,
manufacturing and marketing resources than Cavco. The Company believes that
competition in the manufactured housing industry is being affected by
consolidation and by increasing competition from geographically diversified
companies and vertically integrated competitors that combine manufacturing
operations with other complementary services and operations, such as a retail
sales network,
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   5
 
mortgage financing, insurance and other services. The Company believes the
principal factors affecting competition in the manufactured housing market are
price, product quality and reliability, reputation and service.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     During the last two fiscal years, the amount the Company has spent on
research and development was immaterial.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
 
     The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     The Company employs approximately 1,056 people in its manufacturing
segment. Of these, 93 are salaried managerial, office and clerical workers; 946
are hourly production workers, and 17 are commissioned salespeople.
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
 
     The Company does not have any foreign operations.
 
II.  LEASING OPERATIONS
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     The Company sells and leases security storage containers ("containers") and
trailer vans ("vans") through its NSC subsidiary. The containers are used ocean
cargo containers, previously used for secure overseas shipment of packaged
goods. The Company purchases the containers from various vendors and refurbishes
them at its own fabricating facility or by using various outside contractors.
The Company patches, sands, repaints and installs its patented locking units on
the containers before transferring them to its leasing branch offices. The vans
are purchased from various transportation companies usually through brokers,
transported to the Company's leasing branches and refurbished at its own
facilities or using outside contractors. Generally, the vans leased by the
Company are used for ground transportation of goods.
 
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     NSC currently sells or leases containers and vans directly to customers
through nine offices located in Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Louisiana and
Tennessee. At the customer's request, NSC will contract or use its own equipment
to deliver the container or van to the customer's site. Pricing is dependent
upon competition and demand within each geographical area.
 
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
 
     NSC has not experienced, and does not anticipate, any significant
difficulty in purchasing containers or trailer vans in sufficient quantity to
supply its business.
 
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
 
     NSC owns a patent on a single lever locking system designed to secure its
containers. The patent expires in June 2014.
 
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     None of NSC's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   6
 
COMPETITION
 
     Competition in the container and van leasing business in the Company's
markets consists primarily of privately owned companies that concentrate on
container sales. The Company believes that the principal factors affecting
competition in the leasing business are price and service.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     During the year, the amount NSC has spent on research and development was
immaterial.
 
CUSTOMERS; SEASONALITY
 
     NSC sells or leases containers and vans directly to any business with a
need for additional storage space. Typical customers include retail stores,
construction companies, and educational and government institutions. NSC
experiences seasonal upturns during holiday periods, when retailers require
storage space for extra merchandise. The terms of the leases generally range
from one month to three years, with an average rental period of six months. The
Company believes that there is increasing demand throughout the business
community for secure storage due to increasing theft and vandalism. The business
of NSC is not dependent upon any one customer.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
 
     The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of NSC.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     NSC has approximately 71 employees. Of these, approximately 6 are
executives or managers, 10 are branch managers, 14 are sales representatives, 29
are hourly production and transportation workers, and 12 are office and clerical
workers.
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
 
     NSC does not have any foreign operations.
 
III.  REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     The Company organized its Sun Built subsidiary in December 1991, to develop
manufactured housing subdivisions, purchase developed lots and to sell
manufactured homes in established subdivisions. The Company has generally sought
to acquire land with the intent to complete the sale of housing units within 36
to 60 months from the date of acquisition. Generally, this involves acquiring
land that is properly zoned and is either ready for development or already
developed. Homes sold by Sun Built are manufactured by the Company at the
Company's existing manufacturing plants. The average size of these homes ranges
from 576 to 1,800 square feet, with retail selling prices ranging from $30,200
to $86,800, excluding the land. Competition is intense in the residential
development market. Pricing is dependent upon competition and demand within each
geographical area.
 
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     Sun Built sells lots in its subdivisions and manufactured homes directly to
the consumer. Sun Built does not provide financing to its customers, but may
from time to time assist customers in obtaining third party lender financing.
Sun Built distributes its products through fully developed subdivisions in which
Sun Built either has an agreement to sell the homes or may have a percentage of
ownership.
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   7
 
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
 
     Sun Built has not experienced, and does not anticipate, any problems in
purchasing its manufactured homes, all of which are produced by the Company.
 
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
 
     Sun Built does not own any materially significant patents, licenses,
franchises, trademarks or concessions. Sun Built does not sell or grant
franchises.
 
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     None of Sun Built's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.
 
COMPETITION
 
     Sun Built competes with a large number of firms, most of which have
substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than Sun
Built. To date, all of Sun Built's development and sale of lots and manufactured
homes has been made in Arizona. The residential housing industry is essentially
a local business and is intensely competitive. The industry is cyclical and is
affected by changes in local economic conditions, long-term and short-term
interest rates, federal mortgage financing programs and, to a lesser extent,
changes in property taxes and energy costs, federal income tax laws and various
demographic factors. The Company believes the main competitive factors affecting
Sun Built's operations are price, location, quality and design of homes,
availability and cost of land, development and product acquisition cost,
marketability and reputation.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     During the last fiscal year, the amount Sun Built has spent on research and
development was immaterial.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
 
     The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Sun Built.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     Sun Built has 2 employees: 1 project manager and 1 salesperson.
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
 
     Sun Built does not have any foreign operations.

     In May, 1995, NSC purchased 8 acres of land at 7180 Copper Queen, El Paso,
Texas. The Company constructed a maintenance facility on the property for
refurbishment and repair of its lease fleet. The facility is approximately 7,500
square feet and includes 2,688 square feet of office and warehouse space.
 
     NSC leases a 10 acre parcel of land at Lot #D, Block 4, Copperfield
Industrial Park, El Paso, Texas. The Company uses the land for storage of its
trailer vans. Monthly rent payments are $4,400. The lease commenced in November,
1996 and terminates in May, 1997, at which point it continues on a month-to-
month basis.
 
III.  REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
 
     A Sun Built sales office is located at 496 W. Windham Blvd., Green Valley,
Arizona, in a model home at its Canyon View subdivision. The home is 1,010
square feet. The home and land were purchased by Sun Built for approximately
$91,000.
 
ITEM 3:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise
in the conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
liability, if any, as a result of these claims and proceedings is not likely to
have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
 
ITEM 4:  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     No matters were submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company
during the fourth quarter of the 1996 fiscal year.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:  PROPOSED MERGER
 
     On December 4, 1996, Cavco entered into the Merger Agreement by and among
Cavco, CREC, the Holding Company, the Merger Subsidiary and the Shareholder
Parties. The Shareholder Parties are Al R. Ghelfi, the Chairman of Cavco, his
spouse, Janet M. Ghelfi and Janal, an Arizona limited partnership. The general
partners of Janal are trusts of which Al R. Ghelfi and Janet M. Ghelfi are the
sole trustees. Janal is the holder of 1,650,000 shares of Cavco common stock,
representing approximately 48.7% of the outstanding shares. Al R. Ghelfi and
Janet M. Ghelfi individually hold, as their community property, an additional
180,729 shares of Cavco common stock, representing approximately 5.32% of the
outstanding shares.
 
     The purpose of 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), as more
particularly described below.
 
     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 outstanding shares of Cavco Common
Stock, expiration of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act, absence of any injunction or certain other legal
matters restraining or prohibiting such transactions, the truth and accuracy of
certain representations and warranties, compliance with certain covenants
contained in the Merger Agreement and other usual and customary closing
conditions.
 
     If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated,
the Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Cavco (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 shareholders who exercise
appraisal rights under 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 Cavco, as the surviving
corporation, and the corporate existence of the Merger Subsidiary will cease.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   12
 
     Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
Cavco, 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 and agreements relating to
the payment of dividends. The descriptions set forth in this Report of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the proposed Holding
Company Shareholders' Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference as an
Exhibit to this Report, and to the Holding Company Shareholders' Agreement, a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated
by the parties in certain circumstances, including by mutual consent, or by
either party in the event of (i) regulatory, governmental or judicial actions
restraining or prohibiting the transaction, (ii) failure to obtain the required
shareholder approval, (iii) a material violation or breach by the other party of
the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement,
or (iv) failure to consummate the Merger by December 31, 1997. In addition,
either party may terminate the Merger Agreement in the event the Board of
Directors of Cavco shall have authorized Cavco to enter into an agreement with a
third party with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal meeting certain
conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, as summarized below.
 
     Cavco has agreed that, upon execution of the Merger Agreement and until the
transactions contemplated thereby have been consummated (or until the Merger
Agreement is terminated), neither Cavco nor its representatives will initiate
any contact with, solicit, encourage or enter into or continue any discussions,
negotiations, understandings or agreements with any third parties with respect
to any other acquisition proposal or disclose any non-public information
regarding Cavco or any of its businesses to such third parties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the Board of Directors of Cavco (or a
committee thereof) reasonably determines based on the advice of its counsel that
it is required to do so by virtue of its fiduciary obligations under applicable
law, the Company may furnish and discuss non-public information concerning Cavco
or its businesses in response to unsolicited requests therefor and may
participate in discussions and negotiations and enter into agreements regarding
an alternative transaction, provided certain conditions are met. In general,
Cavco may furnish and discuss such information with any third party the Board of
Directors reasonably determines is financially qualified to consummate a
proposed transaction and may enter into negotiations with such a third party if
(i) the consideration to be paid to the shareholders other than the Shareholder
Parties under the alternative transaction exceeds by at least $1,000,000 the
amount payable to such shareholders under the Merger Agreement; (ii) the
alternative transaction is not subject to any conditions or limitations which
make it not likely to be consummated; (iii) the terms and conditions of the
alternative transaction are no less favorable to such shareholders than the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iv) Cavco shall have timely
notified CREC of the alternative transaction and (v) CREC shall not have
delivered to Cavco a counteroffer topping such alternative transaction by at
least $1,000,000 in consideration to the shareholders other than the Shareholder
Parties (a "Topping Offer"). In general, Cavco may enter into an agreement with
a third party with respect to such transaction if (i) the foregoing conditions
are met, (ii) the third party offer has not been materially and adversely
modified, (iii) at least ten days shall have passed since CREC was notified, and
CREC shall not have responded with a Topping Offer and (iv) Cavco has paid to
CREC certain termination fees and expenses described below.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides for payment to CREC by Cavco of a termination
fee of $2,500,000 and reimbursement of certain expenses in an amount up to
$300,000 in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated by Cavco in order
to accept an alternative proposal from a third party as described above, or if
the
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   13
 
Merger Agreement is terminated for any other reason, other than (i) by mutual
consent; (ii) certain governmental actions restraining or prohibiting the
transaction; (iii) because the Merger has not been consummated by December 31,
1997 and CREC elects to terminate; or (iv) because Cavco and the Shareholder
Parties have elected to terminate due to a material violation or breach by CREC.
The Merger Agreement also provides for the payment to Cavco by CREC of a
termination fee and reimbursement of expenses, in the same amounts, in the event
that the Merger Agreement is terminated because (i) the Merger has not been
consummated by December 31, 1997 and CREC elects to terminate, or (ii) Cavco and
the Shareholder Parties elect to terminate due to a material violation or breach
by CREC.
 
     The foregoing descriptions of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of
which is incorporated herein by reference as an Exhibit to this Report.
 
     As stated above, one of the conditions for consummation of the transactions
set forth in the Merger Agreement is the approval of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Cavco common stock. On December 4, 1996, the
Shareholder Parties entered into a 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 54% 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 Report of the terms of the Voting Agreement are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is
incorporated herein by reference as an Exhibit to this Report.
 
     Also on December 4, 1996, the Shareholder Parties entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement with CREC, whereby the parties have agreed that in the event
the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason other than (i) by mutual
consent, (ii) because the Merger has not been consummated by December 31, 1997
and CREC elects to terminate, or (iii) because of a material violation or breach
by CREC, 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 31% of the total shares presently outstanding) (the
"Subject Share Purchase"). 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 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 Report
of the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the proposed Cavco
Shareholders' Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference as
an Exhibit to this Report and to the Cavco Shareholders' Agreement, the form of
which is attached as Exhibit B to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company ended fiscal 1996 with working capital of $9,381,984 compared
to $8,168,792 at the end of fiscal 1995. The Company's cash position improved as
a result of cash generated from operations and the receipt of proceeds from its
long term funding source for additions to NSC's lease fleet.
 
   
     Uses of cash during 1996 included capital expenditures of $11.9 million,
increases in notes receivable of $.4 million and additions to investments in
partnerships of $.1 million. The Company increased its NSC lease fleet by $9.9
million and spent $2 million on property, plant and equipment additions.
Property, plant and equipment additions include $590,000 spent on land and a
building for NSC's El Paso location. Another
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   14
 
$210,000 was used to purchase delivery vehicles for NSC. The Company also spent
approximately $520,000 on various computer programs, network and communication
systems.
 
     The Company has a $4 million revolving bank line of credit that may be used
from time to time to fund working capital needs. The Company borrowed and repaid
$800,000 on this line during the year. Available borrowings are subject to a
borrowing base formula based on inventories and accounts receivable. The Company
had no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at the end of fiscal 1996.
Sun Built has a $1,400,000 line of credit that is used to finance purchases of
manufactured homes for its subdivisions. Repayments are made from proceeds on
the sales of the homes. During fiscal 1996, Sun Built borrowed $1,977,776 and
repaid $2,296,958 on its line of credit and approximately $700,000 remained
available for borrowing at the end of fiscal 1996. NSC has a $15 million line of
credit arrangement to support its lease fleet expansion. The lending institution
advanced $7,000,000 during 1996. The Company repaid $2,333,323 on this line
during 1996. The remaining $1,036,216 of long term debt repayments in fiscal
1996 were for mortgages and other loans of the Company. The Company received
$1.2 million of proceeds from the sale of lease fleet units and $1.7 million of
proceeds from collections on notes receivable in the normal course of its
business during fiscal 1996.
 
     The Company plans capital expenditures in fiscal 1997 of approximately $4.8
million budgeted for construction of a new manufacturing facility in Belen, New
Mexico, to be financed in part through industrial revenue bond financing
currently under negotiation. The Company also plans to invest up to $500,000 in
fiscal 1997 for computer software and system hardware upgrades. The Company
believes that its existing cash, available borrowings, lines of credit, and cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet capital expenditure, debt
service and other liquidity requirements for the next fiscal year.
 
     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.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995
 
     Sales for fiscal 1996 were $130,105,136, an increase of $17,423,004 or
15.5% over the $112,682,132 reported for 1995. Manufacturing operations
accounted for $11.3 million of the increase primarily as a result increased
capacity due to plant expansion, improved productivity and improved market
conditions. The leasing subsidiary contributed $3.3 million of the increase, as
a result of expanding its lease fleet and adding 4 new branch locations. The
real estate development subsidiary provided $2.8 million of the increase, as a
result of completion of development activity, increased sales at its
subdivisions and the sale of 50 homes to a customer in December 1995.
 
     Gross profit margins increased to 21.0% compared to 18.8 percent in 1995.
Margins in the manufacturing operations increased to 19.2% in 1996 from 17.4% in
1995. Improved efficiencies and higher sales volumes lended to this increase. In
addition, prior year margins were unfavorably affected by a low margin
manufactured home model offered in the spring of 1995. The leasing operations
achieved a 50.1% gross margin in fiscal 1996, compared to 51.4% in fiscal 1995.
The real estate development operations had a gross margin of 15.4% in fiscal
1996, compared to 14.4% in fiscal 1995.
 
   
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased overall by
$2,298,858, or 18%, in fiscal 1996. Approximately $1.4 million of the increase
is attributable to the leasing operations due to increases in wages, rent and
other office costs as the subsidiary continues to develop its corporate office
and open additional branch locations. In addition, a significant portion of this
increase was due to a $369,000 aggregate increase in reserves established for
trade accounts receivable and notes receivable in fiscal 1996. The increase
related to management's assessment of collectibility based on increased
experience with NSC leasing operations, and the effect of new customers and
increased international business in Mexico in the leasing operations. Selling,
general and administrative expense increases of $720,965 in the manufactured
housing segment resulted

primarily from increased employee bonuses, which are based on the pre-tax
operating profits of the Company. The $594,502 increase in interest expense in
fiscal 1996 reflects increased finance costs incurred for expansion of the lease
fleet.
 
     In fiscal 1996, net income was $6,237,461 or $1.84 per share, compared to
$4,237,651 or $1.25 per share in fiscal 1995, an increase of approximately 47%.
The increase in net income was a result of improved sales and gross margins and
increased efficiencies. Income from continuing operations in fiscal 1996 was
$6,932,958 or $2.05 per share, an approximately 49% increase of $2,289,296 or
$.68 per share, over the $4,643,662, or $1.37 per share, reported in fiscal
1995. Losses from discontinued operations in fiscal 1996 totaled $695,497
($339,942 from Action, $355,555 from CVC), compared to $406,011 in 1995
($110,130 from Action, $295,881 from CVC).
 
Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994
 
     Sales for fiscal 1995 were $112,682,132, an increase of $22,086,094, or
24.4% sales of $90,596,038 in fiscal 1994. The leasing subsidiary provided
approximately $5,000,000 in sales, or 23% of the increase. The manufactured
housing operations accounted for the remaining increase. Plant expansions and
upgrades to machinery allowed production levels to increase at all facilities.
The new manufacturing facility added in May 1993 had the most significant
favorable impact.
 
     Gross profit margins increased to 18.8% in fiscal 1995, compared to 18.1%
in fiscal 1994. Margins in the manufactured housing operations decreased from
18.2% in fiscal 1994 to 17.4% in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the Company's
offering of a series of low cost, low margin special floor plans in the spring.
The decrease in manufacturing margins was more than offset in fiscal 1995 by the
achievement of a 51.4% gross profit margin in the leasing operations.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased overall by
$3,064,564, or 31%, in fiscal 1995. Most of the increase was due to expansion of
the leasing operations in fiscal 1995. The $542,237 increase in interest expense
reflects increased finance costs incurred from the Company's use of its lines of
credit.
 
     In fiscal 1995, net income was $4,237,651 or $1.25 per share, compared to
$6,605,678 or $1.95 per share in fiscal 1994, a decrease of approximately 36%.
The decrease in net income was a result of the gain from the sale of
discontinued leasing operations in fiscal 1994. Income from continuing
operations in fiscal 1995 was $4,643,662 or $1.37 per share, an approximately
19% increase of $746,470 or $.22 per share, over the $3,897,192, or $1.15 per
share, reported in fiscal 1994. Income from discontinued operations and from the
gain on the sale of discontinued leasing operations in fiscal 1994 was $436,167
and $2,272,319, respectively, compared to a loss from discontinued operations in
1995 of $406,011.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Cavco Industries, Inc.:
 
   
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CAVCO
INDUSTRIES, INC. (an Arizona corporation) and subsidiaries as of September 30,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
    
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Cavco Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, 1995, AND 1994
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  (a) Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements of Cavco Industries, Inc. (the
Company) for 1996, 1995 and 1994 include the accounts of Cavco Industries, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sun Built Homes, Inc. (Sun Built) and
National Security Containers, Inc. (NSC). In July, 1996 the Company formed a new
subsidiary, Cavco Industries of New Mexico, Inc. The Company is building a
manufacturing facility, which is scheduled to begin production in fiscal 1997.
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.
 
  (b) Inventories
 
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable
value). Cost is determined by using standard cost (which approximates actual
cost on a first-in, first-out basis) for finished goods and work-in process and
actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis for raw materials.
 
  (c) Product Warranty
 
     The Company's products carry a one-year warranty on structural components
to the original retail customer. The Company also warrants certain nonstructural
components for 90 days. The warranty covers defective materials and workmanship.
The Company's experience allows it to reasonably estimate the amount of warranty
expense expected to be incurred for products sold. Warranty expense for the
years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,017,788, $1,946,297 and
$1,664,204, respectively.
 
  (d) Real Estate Held for Sale
 
     Real estate held for sale consists primarily of land purchased by Sun Built
and homes manufactured by the Company for sale in residential subdivisions. Sun
Built capitalizes certain interest costs incurred with developing the land, and
such interest will be included in cost of sales as property is sold to the
buyer. The amount of interest capitalized during the years ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 was $56,997 and $127,732, respectively.
 
     In most cases, the customer obtains financing from an outside source and
pays cash for the purchase. In accordance with rules established by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 66 (Accounting for Sales of Real Estate),
revenues are recognized upon close of sale, when the property has transferred to
the buyer.
 
  (e) Investment in Partnerships
 
     In November, 1992, the Company formed PDG/Prescott Development Group,
L.L.C., a limited liability company, with another company for the purpose of
developing a manufactured housing subdivision. The Company is a 50% partner in
the LLC and accounts for its investment on the equity method. The Company's
investment in the LLC was $2,370,461 and $2,275,313 at September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
 
     In August, 1994, Sun Built formed Rural Southwest, L.L.C., a limited
liability company, with another company. Sun Built is a 50% owner in a LLC
formed in August, 1994, to develop a manufactured housing subdivision. Sun Built
accounts for its investment on the equity method. Its investment was $273,614
and $259,390 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  (f) Revenue Recognition
 
     The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment of product. Revenue
from services is recognized when services are performed. Lease income is
recognized over the terms of the leases.
 
  (g) Statement of Cash Flows
 
     For purpose of these statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand and cash in short-term investments with original maturities of less than
three months (primarily money market funds). Information that does not result in
cash receipts or cash payments in the period, but which affects the financing
and investing activities of the Company is included in supplemental disclosures
as follows.
 
     Supplemental Disclosures of Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities:
 
   
     In 1996, the Company sold $1,238,182 of lease assets for notes receivable.
The Company purchased $122,000 of real estate held for sale, financed by long
term debt. Also in 1996, the Company sold the majority of the assets of its
Action subsidiary and received a $442,000 note, with respect to which the
Company established a reserve of $332,000.
    
 
     In 1995, the Company sold $523,276 of lease assets for notes receivable.
The Company purchased $541,600 of real estate held for sale, financed by long
term debt. Inventory held for sale or lease of $2,207,197 was transferred into
assets under lease.
 
     In 1994, the Company sold $1,015,133 of lease assets for notes receivable.
The Company purchased $470,118 of lease assets financed by notes payable. The
Company purchased $818,784 of real estate held for sale, assuming $414,384 in
notes payable and financing $404,400 by long term debt. Also in 1994, the
Company sold its CVC Leasing division. See Note 13 for detail of non-cash items.

</TABLE>
 
  (h) Depreciation of Assets Under Lease
 
     During 1996 the Company completed a review of its depreciation estimates
for assets under lease. The Company determined that the actual lives of the
assets were generally longer than the useful lives used for depreciation
purposes. The Company also recognized that the assets retained a salvage value.
Therefore, the Company extended the estimated useful lives of the assets under
lease and incorporated a salvage value. The effect of this change in estimate
reduced depreciation expense for the year ended September 30, 1996 by $531,366
and increased net income from continuing operations by approximately $318,800,
or $.09 per share.
 
  (i) Accounting Statements
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which the
Company will be required to implement effective for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1997. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected
future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from an asset to
be held and used is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment
loss must be recognized in the amount of the difference between the carrying
value and fair value. Assets to be disposed of must be valued at the
 
                                       22

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Management of the
Company believes that if SFAS No. 121 were implemented currently, no material
impairment loss would be recognized.
 
  (j) Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at September 30, 1996 and 1995,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the three years in the
period ended September 30, 1996. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
   
  (k) Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
    
 
   
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted SFAS No. 123, which
must be adopted by the Company in fiscal 1997. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the
Company will continue to account for transactions with its directors and
employees pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees." Companies which choose this alternative method
are required to disclose the pro forma effects on earnings and earnings per
share as if the effects of stock-based compensation had been accounted for in
the financial statements. Management has not yet calculated the effects of those
pro forma adjustments.
    
 
   
  (l) Reclassifications
    
 
     Certain amounts from prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
(2) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
   
     Notes receivable include amounts due under finance leases ($1,780,686 and
$1,633,607 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively) and amounts due from
sales of real estate held for sale ($200,000 and $16,610 at September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively). The finance leases are secured by the related assets
under lease, and the notes on real estate sales are secured by deeds of trust.
Also included in notes receivable is the balance on a line of credit extended to
a dealer ($38,240 and $23,500 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively) and
a $442,000 note receivable related to the sale of Action in 1996, net of a
$332,000 reserve. See "Note 13 -- Discontinued Operations". Remaining reserves
established relate primarily to the leasing operation and remaining accounts
outstanding from the discontinued CVC operations. Accounts receivable and notes
receivable were analyzed as of the end of each of the years presented and
reserves were established based upon factors such as age of outstanding balances
and management's ongoing analysis of the prospect of collecting the accounts.
The significant increase in reserves for fiscal 1996 related to management's
assessment of collectability based on increased experience with the NSC leasing
operations, and the effect of new customers and increased international business
in Mexico in the leasing operations.

(a)  At any time during the term of the note, all or any portion of the
     principal balance is convertible, at the Company's option, into shares of
     the Company's Common Stock at $16 per share, if the trading price of Common
     Stock exceeds $20 per share for a period of at least 20 trading days prior
     to the conversion. The Company also has an option to prepay up to one half
     of the outstanding principal balance of the loan after October, 1995. Such
     prepayment can be made in Common Stock, at $16 per share, if the stock
     price exceeds $16 per share for a period of at least 20 trading days prior
     to the payment date. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
     Statements -- "Subsequent Events."
 
(b)  Certain of the Company's loan agreements require compliance with financial
     covenants, the most significant of which specify a minimum current ratio,
     minimum owner's equity, working capital, debt coverage ratio, debt service
     coverage ratio, and minimum tangible net worth. The agreements also state
     that any dividends to stockholders must be approved by the lending
     institution. At September 30, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with
     the covenant related to debt service coverage ratio for one of its
     subsidiaries. The Company obtained a waiver from the bank.

(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
     The Company's profit sharing plan is a defined contribution plan which
covers all employees. After two years of service have been completed, employees
begin participation on the first day of the sixth month or the first day of the
plan year, whichever is earlier. Participants are 100% vested immediately upon
entry into the Plan. The Plan was designed to comply with the requirements of
ERISA. Contributions to the Plan are determined annually by the Board of
Directors. The Company contributed $100,000 and $200,000 to the Plan for the
years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. There was no contribution
to the Plan for the year ended September 30, 1996.
 
     The Company adopted a 401(k) plan in January, 1995. All employees are
eligible to participate after completing four months of service, and may begin
participation on the following January 1 or July 1, whichever is earlier.
Participants may defer and contribute up to 15% of annual compensation (subject
to limits set by the Internal Revenue Service) to the 401(k) plan. The Company
matches 25% of the employee's contribution, up to 6% of his or her compensation.
The Company contributed $120,631 to the 401(k) plan for the year ended September
30, 1996 and $68,924 for the year ended September 30, 1995.
 
(8) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     The number of shares used in computing earnings per common share was
3,383,173 for 1996 and 3,382,968 for 1995 and 1994. The number of shares
reflects a three-for-two stock split effective December, 1994. Fully diluted
earnings per share are the same as primary earnings per share.
 
     In August 1995, the Company entered into a qualified stock option purchase
agreement with an employee. The agreement allows the employee to purchase up to
50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10 per share (fair market value
at the date of the grant). The options vest at 10% per year, beginning

options and purchased 5000 shares for $50,000.
 
(9) FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS
 
     The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements
covering dealer floor plan financing arrangements. These arrangements, which are
customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to
dealers in the event of default on payments by the dealer. The risk of loss is
spread over numerous dealers and financing institutions and is further offset by
the resale value of repurchased units. The Company has not incurred any
significant losses from these arrangements since inception.
 
     During 1996 and 1995, the Company entered into financing arrangements
whereby certain dealers would be assisted in obtaining financing for purchases
of Cavco manufactured homes. The Company has guaranteed the flooring lines
extended to the dealers by the financing institutions. The Company's maximum
liability to financial institutions was $500,000 in 1996 and $6,500,000 in 1995.
 
     The Company is the guarantor on a loan agreement which allowed PDG/Prescott
Development Group, L.L.C. formed in November, 1992 (see Note 1) to borrow
$3,750,000 from investors. The loan is paid out over five years, based on
scheduled sales of lots. The amount guaranteed by the Company has been offset by
proceeds received on the lot sales, leaving a balance of $2,720,145 and
$3,177,285 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
(10) LEASES
 
     The Company occupies certain land and office buildings and uses certain
equipment under lease arrangements classified as operating leases. Real estate
taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are obligations of the Company.
 
     At September 30, 1996, future minimum lease payments due under
noncancellable operating leases, excluding executory costs, are as follows:

(13) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
     On August 1, 1994, the Company sold the relocatable mobile and modular
commercial structures and related buildings and equipment of its CVC leasing
division for $20.1 million, to an unrelated company. Approximately $8.0 million
was used to pay off notes payable associated with the assets sold; a $1.2
million note receivable was due from the purchaser; net cash proceeds totaled
$10.9 million. The net value of assets sold, plus other costs related to the
sale, amounted to $16.4 million, resulting in a net gain of $3.7 million.
 
     Net income (loss) from CVC leasing operations is included in the
consolidated statements of income under "discontinued operations". Revenues from
such operations were $15,000 for 1996, $2,072,569 for 1995 and $8,253,530 for
1994. Revenues in 1995 and 1996 were produced from the sales of jobs that were
in progress when the division was sold.
 
     Assets and liabilities related to CVC remaining on the balance sheet as of
September 30, 1996 include trade accounts receivable ($280,322), balance
remaining from purchaser of CVC ($72,568) and rent due on CVC properties
($44,738). Assets and liabilities related to CVC remaining on the balance sheet
as of September 30, 1995 include trade accounts receivable ($378,406), balance

service contracts and office equipment of its subsidiary, Action Healthcare
Management Systems, Inc. (Action), to an unrelated company for a $442,000 note,
with respect to which the Company established a reserve of $332,000. The net
book value of assets sold, plus other costs related to the sale, amounted to
$538,240, resulting in a pretax loss of $428,240. The $442,000 note to the
Company bears interest at 8%, and is amortized over a 10-year period, with the
entire unpaid balance due and payable in October 2001.
    
 
   
     Net income (loss) from Action is included in the consolidated statements of
income under "discontinued operations". Revenues from Action were $576,991 for
1996, $1,026,230 for 1995 and $1,465,525 for 1994. Other than the $442,000 note
receivable from the purchaser, net of the applicable $332,000 reserve, there are
no material assets or liabilities related to Action remaining on the balance
sheet as of September 30, 1996.
    
 
(14) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other payables approximate fair value because of
the short maturity of these financial instruments. Notes payable bear interest
at market rates, therefore the carrying amounts of the outstanding borrowings
approximate fair value.
 
     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instruments. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and judgment and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect these estimates.
 
(15) SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
     Selected quarterly financial data for the years ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 is set forth below. Earnings per share were adjusted to reflect the
three-for-two stock split effective December 1994. Amounts differ from amounts
previously reported on the Company's Form 10-Q Reports due to reclassification
of discontinued operations of the Company's Action subsidiary.

(1) The options granted are incentive stock options issued in fiscal 1995,
    effective as of August 18, 1995 under the Company's 1985 Incentive Stock
    Option Plan (the "Plan"). Ten percent of these options become exercisable on
    August 18 in each year, beginning August 18, 1996. Under the Plan, the
    Company has the right to accelerate the vesting of these options in
    connection with certain mergers and other transactions, including but not
    limited to the Merger, in which case the options are cancelled if not
    exercised within 30 days. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Recent Developments:
    Proposed Merger."
 
(2) The exercise price per share was equal to the fair market value of the
    Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.
 
(3) Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the
    respective options if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains
    are based on assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded
    annually from the date the respective options were granted to their
    expiration date and are not presented to forecast possible future
    appreciation, if any, in the price of the Common Stock. The gains shown are
    net of the option exercise price, but do not include deductions for taxes or
    other expenses associated with the exercise of the options or the sale of
    the underlying shares. The actual gains, if any, on the stock option
    exercise will depend on the future performance of the Common Stock, the
    optionee's continued employment through applicable vesting periods and the
    date on which the options are exercised.

(1) The "Value Realized" reflects the appreciation on the date of exercise,
    based on the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of
    exercise over the exercise price. These amounts do not necessarily reflect
    cash realized upon the sale of those shares, as an executive officer may
    keep the shares exercised, or sell them at a different time and price.
 
(2) The "Value" set forth in this column is based on the difference between the
    fair market value at September 30, 1996 ($19.50 per share bid price as
    reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers) and the option
    exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option.
