                                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 March 31, 2000 will not have a
significant impact on the financial condition of the Company.

         Other Contingencies -- Letters of Credit totaling $500,000 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999 were $6,246,000 and $17,090,000, respectively.
Working capital as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was $30,628,000
and $31,803,000, 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. Although the Company continues its Common Stock
Repurchase Program efforts, no shares were repurchased during the quarter.

Results of Operations

         Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 were $36,276,000, a decrease
of $8,074,000 from the same quarter of 1999. The sales activity of the
Company followed the industry trend during the first quarter. Statistics
comparing the first quarter of 2000 to the same period in 1999 and reported
by the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards show for
the industry a 22% drop in homes shipped and a 20% drop in floors shipped.
This downturn in sales was caused, in part, by an overproduction of homes by
the industry relative to retail sales in prior periods. Additionally, the
industry has seen a tightening of credit on both the wholesale and retail
financing of our homes. This tightening has been caused by the decision of
several major financing companies to cease doing business in the manufactured
housing industry along with a reluctance by the secondary market to purchase
retail contracts of the finance companies thus causing a sharp increase





                                       8

in interest rates for our retail customers. Comparatively, the Company
experienced a 22% drop in homes shipped, a 19% drop in floors shipped and an
18% decline in net sales. The reduction in sales had an adverse effect on net
income for the first quarter of 2000. The Company had a net loss of $643,000
for the first quarter of 2000 compared to net income of $599,000 for the same
quarter in 1999.

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.

         Exhibit 27 - Financial Data Schedule
