GENERAL
    The consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto 
listed in the Index on page 2 of this report have been prepared using 
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with 
1995.  The results of operations for the interim period presented are not 
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.  The 
information included in this report has not been examined prior to filing by 
an independent public accountant, and is therefore, subject to any 
adjustments which may result from the year-end examination of the Company's 
financial statements.  The information furnished herein reflects all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the 
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results 
for the interim periods.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:

   Short term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposits
with original maturities greater than 90 days.  


INVENTORIES:

   Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the
lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out
basis.


CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

Repurchase Obligations

   The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase
agreements with various financial institutions which provide for the
repurchase of its homes sold to dealers under floor plan financing
arrangements upon dealer default.  The Company's exposure to loss under
such agreements is reduced by the resale of the repurchased home.  The
Company believes any losses incurred under outstanding repurchase
agreements in excess of the accruals established as of June 30, 1996 will
not have a significant impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Other Contingencies

   Letters of Credit totaling $4,325,000 have been issued to the
Company's insurance carriers who have underwritten the Company's insurance
programs.  


REVENUE RECOGNITION:

   The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped to
independent dealers.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of June 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995 were $18,079,000 and $25,857,000,
respectively.  Working capital as of June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 was $30,519,000 and $30,827,000, respectively.  The decrease of
these items has been caused by accounts receivable and inventory
increases as the Company's operations expand over the normal year end
base, and by the funding of various property, plant and equipment
projects.  Also during the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Company repurchased a total of 92,000 shares of common stock under
the program initiated in 1995 to acquire up to 300,000 shares of its
common stock.  
    Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $45,673,000, an
increase of $2,266,000 from the same quarter of 1995.  The volume in
a key market area has fallen sharply and the Company's sales dropped
accordingly.  The decline has been more than offset by the combined
increased sales from the Company's two new plants.  Net income for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $1,607,000 which was a decrease
of $227,000 from the same quarter in 1995. The decrease results
principally from continuing start up costs of the second plant in
Wisconsin, a reduction in sales volume in the key market area,
increased material costs and decreased interest income.  Partially
offsetting these items was the gain recognized on the sale of the
Company's idle Thomasville, Georgia facility during the quarter.

    As sales backlogs in the manufactured housing industry are
traditionally short and as dealer inventories do not normally
fluctuate substantially, the orders that the Company receives are
indicative of the day-to-day retail sales activity of its product. 
Any changes affecting the desire or ability of retail customers to
purchase, such as cost, credit availability and employment, have an
immediate effect on the Company's operations.
