                                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, 1998 will not have a significant impact on the financial condition of
the Company.


Other Contingencies

          Letters of Credit totaling $3,325,000 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, 1998
and December 31, 1997 were $15,513,000 and $21,047,000, respectively.  Working
capital as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $28,034,000 and
$27,621,000, respectively.  The decrease of cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments 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, 1998, the Company repurchased a total of 28,000 shares of
common stock under the program initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to
acquire up to 700,000 shares of its common stock.

          Net sales for the second quarter of 1998 were $46,320,000, an increase
of $132,000 from the same quarter of 1997.  The Company continues to increase
the number of multi-section homes it produces and sells.  At the same time,
single-section home volume has declined. Net income for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 was $1,326,000 which was an increase of $258,000 from the second
quarter of 1997.  Part of the net income improvement for 1998 results from the
elimination of start-up costs incurred during 1997 at the Company's newest plant
in Tuscumbia, Alabama.  The increase in net income was further aided by
manufacturing cost improvements at the Company's other facilities. 


                                       9
<PAGE>


These improvements were partially offset by increased selling, general and 
administrative expenses.

          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.
