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 1998. 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.

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, 1999 will not have a significant impact on the financial condition of
the Company.

         Other Contingencies

         Letters of Credit totaling $2,325,000 have been issued to the Company's
insurance carriers who have underwritten the Company's insurance programs.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

independent dealers.


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

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of June 30, 1999
and December 31, 1998 were $11,259,000 and $23,741,000, respectively. Working
capital as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was $31,704,000 and
$31,075,000, 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, 1999, the
Company repurchased a total of 41,800 shares of common stock under the program
initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to acquire up to 700,000 shares of
its common stock.

         Results of Operations

         Net sales for the second quarter of 1999 were $49,133,000, an increase
of $2,813,000 over the same quarter of 1998, the result of a small increase in
homes sold and some increased prices per home. Net income for the second quarter
of 1999 was $1,361,000 which was a $35,000 increase over the second quarter of
1998.

         Outlook and Risk Factors

         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 products. Any changes affecting the
desire or ability of retail customers to purchase, such as cost, availability
of credit and unemployment, have an immediate effect on the Company's
operations.

         Year 2000

         Liberty Homes employs several electronic data processing (EDP) systems
for administrative and reporting purposes. In 1995, the Company began a process
to analyze the need to enhance its systems to accommodate planned growth of the
Company and to meet additional management information needs. As the Company
determined the systems it wished to enhance, it also discovered the need to
ensure all of its systems were able to handle year 2000 dates. This Year 2000
(Y2K) compliance issue then became a part of the Company's EDP enhancement
program. In March of 1996, the Company contracted for an overall upgrade of its
EDP system which, among many things would provide Y2K compliance for a
substantial portion of its EDP systems. This project is well on the way to
completion.

         Additionally, the Company has tested and upgraded all of its
information and communication systems hardware for Y2K compliance, installed
software updates containing Y2K compliance code and initiated projects to bring
internally developed systems into Y2K compliance. Overall, the Company plans to
be done with all of its Y2K compliance efforts by September 30, 1999. Because of
the positive results of its


                                       10

<PAGE>

remediation efforts to date, the Company does not have a contingency plan,
nor does it intend to create one at this time.

         The Company's manufacturing processes do not utilize systems that are
materially reliant on Y2K compliance. Therefore, the Company's ability to
generate product will not be adversely affected by any Y2K issues.

         The Company sells its product to numerous independent dealers, none of
which account for a material portion of the Company's sales. The Company
believes the risk of Y2K noncompliance associated with its dealer group is not
significant.

         The Company's operations rely on a variety of suppliers, wholesale and
retail finance sources, transportation companies and utilities. The Company is
not aware of any material compliance problems with these vendors, however, it
will continue to monitor the sufficiency of this group's Y2K compliance efforts.
Liberty Homes believes the sole failure of any vendor would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business.

         The total cost to date and expected future cost for Y2K remediation is
not material. Internally generated funds are the source of funding these
compliance costs.

         The Company believes that its Y2K compliance efforts will significantly
reduce the risk of any material adverse business interruptions caused by
noncompliance. However, this statement should not be considered a guarantee of
such a reduction in risk.
