                                      (Unaudited)


   Note A -  The provision or benefit for income taxes is calculated using the 
   Company's estimated annual effective tax rate.

   Note B -  Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of 
   common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents have not been 
   included in the computations because their effect would not be dilutive.

   Note C -  During the period reported on, there were no sales of securities.

   Note D -  In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are
   necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of 
   operations and cash flows have been included in these financial statements.

   Note E -  The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of annual
   results due to seasonality of the business.

   Note F -  Financial information contained herein is unaudited.

   Note G -  The Company is contingently liable to various financial 
   institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with wholesale 
   inventory financing. In general, inventory is repurchased by the Company 
   upon default by a dealer with a financing institution and then resold 
   through normal distribution channels. In addition, the Company is 
   contingently liable to financial institutions for letters of credit which 
   were established to satisfy the self-insured workers' compensation 
   regulations of the states in which the Company conducts manufacturing 
   operations.

   Management does not expect that losses, if any, from the contingencies 
   described above will be of material importance to the financial condition 
   or earnings of the Company.

   Note H - During the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company 
   received $200,000 and $610,000 in insurance proceeds, respectively, on a 
   business interruption claim relative to the 1992 tornado damage at the 
   McPherson, Kansas manufactured housing facility.

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                               and Results of Operations

        FINANCIAL CONDITION -JULY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 1995

        Under third quarter market conditions, the Company continued to borrow
        on its line of credit to maintain inventory levels to provide for
        third quarter sales.  The Company's working capital increased
        $1,421,000 due primarily to an increase in inventories.  The current
        ratio was 2.1:1 at July 31, 1996 and 2.0:1 at October 31, 1995.

        The Company's liquidity position as reflected in the current ratio
        described above, capital resources, including excess plant capacity,
        working capital, and line of credit, are considered to be adequate to
        provide for near term anticipated growth.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO
        QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1995

        Total sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1996 were $23,924,000, a 13
        percent decrease from sales of $27,537,000 for the same quarter of the
        prior year. The decrease consisted of a 5 percent decrease in
        recreational vehicle sales and a decrease of 33 percent in
        manufactured housing sales. RV sales saw a decrease as a result of a
        decline in dealer inventories as they adjusted for a moderate slowing
        in retail demand. Manufactured housing sales are continuing to
        experience a general slowing in our market territory.

        Cost of sales decreased 18 percent from the same quarter of the prior
        year due primarily to the 13 percent decrease in sales volume, but
        also decreased 5 percent as a percent of sales. The increase in gross
        profit margins is chiefly attributed to lower overall production costs
        at our new recreational vehicle production facility and at our
        consolidated manufactured housing plant, both in Caldwell, Idaho.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19 percent over
        the same quarter of the prior year and rose three percent as a percent
        of sales. The increase was due to an increase in marketing costs.

        Net interest income as opposed to net interest expense for the current
        quarter increased nearly three times. This was a consequence of a
        significant increase in the average net short-term investments.

        Net income for the three months ended July 31, 1996 was $826,000, or
        $0.74 per share, compared to $273,000, or $0.25 per share, for the
        same quarter of the prior year. Net income for the quarter ended July
        31, 1996 included an after tax gain on a business interruption claim
        of $360,000, or $0.32 per share. Net income for the quarter ended July
        31, 1995 included an after tax gain on a business interruption claim
        of $117,000, or $0.11 per share.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO
        NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995

        Total sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 were $70,575,000,
        a seven percent decrease from sales of $75,813,000 for the same period
        of the prior year. The decrease consisted of a 35 percent decrease in
        manufactured housing sales and a four percent increase in recreational
        vehicle sales.  RV sales in the Western region saw an increase as a
        result of consumer demand for our newest RV product. The manufactured



        housing sales decrease was chiefly the result of an overall slowing in
        our market territory.

        Cost of sales decreased 10 percent from the same period of the prior
        year due principally to the seven percent decrease in sales volume,
        and decreased three percent as a percent of sales. The rise in gross
        profit margins is chiefly attributed to reduced production costs at
        the new consolidated manufactured homes plant in Caldwell, Idaho. 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16 percent over
        the same period of the prior year and rose two percent as a percent of
        sales. The increase was primarily due to increases in marketing costs.

        Net interest expense as opposed to net interest income in the same
        period of the prior year, increased 142 percent. This was a
        consequence of a significant increase in the average net short-term
        borrowing.

        Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 was $1,337,000, or
        $1.20 per share, compared to $1,206,000, or $1.09 per share, for the
        same period of the prior year. Net income for the nine months ended
        July 31, 1996 included an after-tax gain from a business interruption
        claim of $360,000, or $0.32 per share. Net income for the nine months
        ended July 31, 1995 included an after-tax gain from a business
        interruption claim of $414,000, or $0.37 per share.
