                                OTHER INFORMATION

SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:

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

INVENTORIES:

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

FLOOR PLAN FINANCING PAYABLE:

         The Company has made arrangements with certain finance companies to
provide lines of credit to support the Company's expansion into retail
distribution of its manufactured homes. The lines of credit are used to finance
inventory held at the Company's Retail Centers. Advances are made from the line
of credit when a home is delivered to a Retail Center. The terms of these
arrangements require monthly interest at rates that vary from 1/2% to 1% over
prime. The principal is repaid at the earlier of the time the home is sold to a
retail customer or one year from delivery of the home to the retail center.

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

                                       8
<PAGE>

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, 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 June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999 were $7,934,000 and $17,090,000, respectively. Working
capital as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was $29,272,000 and
$31,803,000, respectively. Establishment of two retail centers in Florida and
two in Texas, the funding of various manufacturing facility projects and the
seasonal expansion of trade receivables had the main effects on reduced
liquidity during the current period. Also during the six months ended June 30,
2000, the Company repurchased a total of 36,000 shares of common

                                       9
<PAGE>

stock under the program initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to acquire up
to 900,000 shares of its common stock.

         Results of Operations

         Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $34,773,000, a decrease
of $14,360,000 from the same quarter of 1999. The sales activity of the Company
followed the industry trend during the quarter. Statistics comparing April and
May of 2000 (the latest figures available) to the same period in 1999 and
reported by the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards
show the industry suffered a 26% drop in homes shipped and a 24% drop in floors
shipped. This downturn in sales was caused, in part, by an overproduction of
homes in prior periods by the industry relative to retail sales in prior
periods. Also, the industry has seen a tightening of credit on both the
wholesale and retail financing of 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
in interest rates for our retail customers. Furthermore, increased retail and
wholesale loan defaults have caused a corresponding increase of repossessed
homes to be offered for resale, which has displaced some demand for newly
manufactured homes. Comparatively, the Company experienced a 34% drop in homes
shipped, a 30% drop in floors shipped and a 29% decline in net sales. The
reduction in sales had an adverse effect on net income for the second quarter of
2000. The Company had a net loss of $629,000 for the second quarter of 2000
compared to net income of $1,361,000 for the same quarter in 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         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.
