a shift in product mix towards multi-section homes.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1998, increased 27% to
$319 million, as manufactured housing sales rose 29% to $247 million, financial
services income grew 19% to $55 million and rental and other income increased
31% to $17 million.

Net sales of the Retail group rose 44% to $158 million on a 10% rise in the
average home price, a 12% increase in Company-owned sales centers, and a 17%
increase in the average number of homes sold per sales center.

Net sales of the Manufacturing group increased 11% to $84 million as the number
of homes sold increased 6% to 3,751. The average wholesale price to independent
retailers increased 5% as a result of a shift in product mix towards
multi-section homes. The Company's plant in Waycross, Georgia was damaged by
severe storms on January 2, 1999, and will be repaired by late spring. There is
not expected to be a material effect on sales or profitability as orders will be
filled from other Company facilities.

Net sales of the Communities group decreased 13% to $6 million as 20% less homes
were sold, while the average home selling price increased 9%.

Financial services revenues increased 19%. Interest and loan servicing revenues
increased $16 million, and insurance related revenues rose $2 million. Rental
and other income increased 31% on a 28% rise in

Communities rental income.

Loans sold through asset-backed securities totaled $288 million, compared to
$232 million during the same period last year.

Financial services interest expense increased to $3 million due to higher
average borrowings. Average debt collateralized by installment contract
receivables dropped 29% to $14 million, while the weighted average interest rate
moved from 10.78% to 10.88%. The terms of the debt preclude prepayment by the
Company.

Gross profit margins increased to 31.9% from 30.7% which is attributable to an
increase in internalization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of revenues,
increased to 27.7% from 27.0% in the prior year period. The provision for credit
losses increased to 1.1% from 0.5% of sales.

The following table sets forth write-off experience for the quarters ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash at December 31, 1998, was $9.0 million as compared to $1.7 million at June
30, 1998. The Company anticipates meeting cash requirements with cash flow from
operations, revolving credit lines, senior notes, and sales of installment
contract and mortgage loan receivables and GNMA certificates.

The Company has committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $350.0
million and $62.5 million for working capital needs of which $255.0 million and
$27.6 million, respectively, were outstanding at December 31, 1998. These lines
of credit do not require collateral and are priced on LIBOR plus rates ranging
from 0.10% to 0.45%. The committed credit lines are guaranteed by all material
subsidiaries of the Company and are governed by various financial covenants
which require maintenance of certain financial ratios.

The Company on December 30, 1998, privately placed $75.0 million of 6.25% Senior
Notes due December 30, 2003, with no principal amortization, primarily to
facilitate the purchase, origination and warehousing of loan portfolios. The
Senior Notes are guaranteed by all material subsidiaries of the Company and are
governed by various financial covenants which require maintenance of certain
financial ratios.

Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a committed one year
$300.0 million commercial paper conduit facility to facilitate the warehousing
of manufactured housing loan portfolios.

Year 2000

Many of the Company's systems and related software are Year 2000 compliant.
However, the Company has in place a plan to address potential disruptions to
normal business activities related to the Year 2000. Areas addressed by the plan
include information systems (hardware and software), non-information systems,
embedded chips, and supply chain continuance. Currently, the Company has
completed the awareness and assessment stages of the project and all business
units are in various stages of renovation, validation, and implementation of
solutions. A Year 2000 Steering Committee has been established and a project
leader has been assigned to oversee the process and report on a weekly basis.
The steering committee is chaired by the President of the Company.

Information systems, consisting of hardware and software, are being modified or
replaced to ensure Year 2000 compliance. The Company's hardware consists of a
mainframe, networks, and personal computers. Most desktop computers have been
tested and are in compliance. The mainframe computers are compliant with respect
to the hardware and operating systems. Many of the Company's critical software
systems, such as the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Payroll, Human Resources,
and Credit Application Tracking systems have been replaced by Year 2000
compliant packages. The remediation process for Financial Services and other
in-house, custom written software is expected to be completed by the end of
fiscal 1999. The Company plans to test each of these software systems using a
standardized testing methodology which will include millennium testing,
millennium leap year testing, and cross over year testing.




                                       11

<PAGE>   12


Non-information systems at corporate such as HVAC, elevator, phone system,
security systems, vaults, and computer rooms are Year 2000 compliant as a direct
result of building a new Corporate office. Similar equipment at field locations
is not dependent on embedded chip technologies and is not considered an area
of material exposure.

The Company has completed its surveying of major suppliers and vendors of raw
materials for Year 2000 compliance. The Company is not directly dependent on
electronic data interchange (EDI) for the purchase of raw materials, though some
of the Company's suppliers may be. Moreover, the bulk of raw materials (mostly
lumber) is readily available from other suppliers. Possible interruptions in
the supply chain can be circumvented by purchasing raw materials from an
alternate local supplier. Responses from the Company's surveys provide assurance
that our critical suppliers, including Financial Services providers, plan to be
compliant by the middle of 1999.

The costs associated with Year 2000 compliance are not expected to exceed
$500,000 or to have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows in future periods. Most of the hardware,
software, and non-information system replacements have been due to growth of the
Company and Year 2000 compliance is a byproduct of the replacement systems. The
custom written software is addressed by the in-house programming staff and
contract programming services. Most costs directly associated with Year 2000
compliance will be incurred during fiscal 1999.

Contingency planning, both short term and long term, for critical processes for
each business group has started and will be completed by the end of fiscal year
1999. To mitigate any unexpected problems with the Year 2000, plans could
include, but are not limited to: (1) rapid transitions to alternative suppliers
of services and materials, (2) replacement of errant equipment or software, (3)
manual ledgers, (4) increased work hours by Company personnel, (5) temporary
personnel, (6) outsourcing, and (7) routine backup of critical data to different
platforms. Should the Company be required to execute a long term contingency
plan, an adverse material effect to operations could result.

The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could adversely affect the Company's results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition. The Company believes that the
risk of failure to the Housing and Communities business units is not material
due to the low-technology nature of those businesses and manual processes are in
use for backup procedures now. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the
Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to
determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures could have
a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition. The Year 2000 Project is expected to significantly reduce the
Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular,
about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its critical suppliers and
financial services providers. The Company believes that, with the implementation
of new business systems and completion of the Project as scheduled, the exposure
to significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During fiscal 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS No. 131), Disclosures
About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131 requires new
disclosures of segment information in a company's financial statements and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. These 



                                       12

<PAGE>   13


statements will be effective for the Company in fiscal 1999. Adoption of these
statements will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative and
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 establishes a new model
for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities based on these fundamental
principles: i) derivatives represent assets and liabilities that should be
recognized at fair value on the balance sheet; ii) derivative gains and losses
do not represent liabilities or assets and therefore, should not be reported on
the balance sheet as deferred credits or deferred debits; and iii) special hedge
accounting should be provided only for transactions that meet certain specified
criteria, which include a requirement that the change in fair value of the
derivative be highly effective in offsetting the change in the fair value or
cash flows of the hedged item. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999, and is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Additionally in October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 134, Accounting for
Mortgaged-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Loans Held for
Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise. SFAS 134 requires that after an entity
engaged in mortgage banking activities has securitized mortgage loans that are
held for sale, it must classify the resulting retained mortgage-backed
securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell
or hold those investments. The Company is currently assessing the effect, if
any, on its financial statements of implementing SFAS 134. SFAS 134 is effective
for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this quarterly report are forward looking as defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Law. These statements involve certain
risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations as of the date of this report. These risks fall generally within
three broad categories consisting of industry factors, management expertise, and
government policy and economic conditions. Industry factors include such matters
as potential periodic inventory adjustments by both captive and independent
retailers, general or seasonal weather conditions affecting sales and revenues,
catastrophic events impacting insurance reserves, cost of labor and/or raw
materials and industry consolidation trends creating fewer, but stronger
competitors capable of sustaining competitive pricing pressures.

Management expertise is affected by management's overall ability to anticipate
and meet consumer preferences, maintain successful marketing programs, continue
quality manufacturing output, keep a strong cost management oversight, meet the
Year 2000 compliance plan, and project stable gain on sale accounting
assumptions. Lastly, management has the least control over government policy and
economic conditions such as prevailing interest rates, government monetary
policy, stable regulation of manufacturing standards, consumer confidence,
favorable trade policies, and general prevailing economic and employment
conditions.
