6.       During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 the Company adopted Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 134, Accounting for 
         Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of
         Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise. The
         standard required that the Company classify mortgage-backed securities
         and other beneficial interests retained after a securitization in
         accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
         Debt and Equity Securities. The effect of the adoption was to
         reclassify certain assets totaling $20.4 million from the held to
         maturity category to the available for sale category. Since the
         amortized cost of these assets currently approximates fair value, there
         was no material impact on other comprehensive income from this adoption
         during the quarter.

million, as manufactured housing sales rose 19% to $728 million, financial
services income grew 25% to $164 million and rental and other income increased
26% to $51 million.

average home price, an 11% increase in Company-owned sales centers, and a 5%
increase in the average number of homes sold per sales center.

Net sales of the Manufacturing group increased 8% to $241 million as the number
of homes sold increased 3% to 10,884. The average wholesale price to independent
retailers increased 5% as a result of a shift in product mix towards
multi-section homes.

<PAGE>   7

Net sales of the Communities group decreased 11% to $21 million as 12% less
homes were sold, while the average home selling price increased 2%.

Financial services revenues increased 25%. Interest and loan servicing revenues
increased $46 million, and insurance related revenues rose $6 million. Rental
and other income increased 26% on a 22% rise in Communities rental income.

Loans sold through asset-backed securities totaled $813 million, compared to
$673 million during the same period last year.

Financial services interest expense increased to $7 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 10.33% to 10.42%. The terms of the debt preclude prepayment by the
Company.

Gross profit margins increased to 31.7% from 31.4% which is partially
attributable to a higher percentage of retail sales in the total sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of revenues,
increased to 27.7% from 27.2% in the prior year period primarily due to
increased set up costs. The provision for credit losses increased to 1.2% from
0.7% of sales.

The following table represents delinquent installment sales contracts as a
percentage of the total number of installment sales contracts which the Company
services and either owns or for which it is contingently liable. A contract is
considered delinquent if any payment is more than one month past due.

</TABLE>

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999, increased 15% to $308
million, as manufactured housing sales rose 11% to $233 million, financial
services income grew 31% to $58 million and rental and other income increased
18% to $17 million.

Net sales of the Retail group rose 17% to $149 million on an 11% rise in the
average home price, an 11% increase in Company-owned sales centers, offsetting a
6% decrease in the average number of homes sold per sales center.

Net sales of the Manufacturing group increased 2% to $75 million as the number
of floors sold remained constant. The average wholesale price to independent
retailers increased 6% as a result of a shift in product mix towards
multi-section homes. The Company's plant in Waycross, Georgia which was damaged
by severe storms on January 2, 1999, resumed production in late April.

Net sales of the Communities group increased 12% to $9 million as 8% more homes
were sold, while the average home selling price increased 3%.

Financial services revenues increased 31%. Interest and loan servicing revenues
increased $14 million, and insurance related revenues rose $2 million. Rental
and other income increased 18% on a 12% rise in Communities rental income.

Loans sold through asset-backed securities totaled $281 million, compared to
$214 million during the same period last year.







                                       9

Financial services interest expense increased to $2 million due to higher
average borrowings. Average debt collateralized by installment contract
receivables dropped 25% to $13 million, while the weighted average interest rate
moved from 10.41% to 9.98%. The terms of the debt preclude prepayment by the
Company.

Gross profit margins increased to 32.6% from 32.0% which is partially
attributable to a higher percentage of retail sales in the total sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of revenues,
increased to 28.7% from 27.7% in the prior year period. The provision for credit
losses increased to 1.5% from 1.0% of sales.

The following table sets forth write-off experience for the quarters ended March
31, 1999 and 1998:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash at March 31, 1999, was $25.0 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, a commercial paper conduit facility, 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 $150 million and $0
million, respectively, were outstanding at March 31, 1999. These lines of credit
do not require collateral and are priced on LIBOR plus rates ranging from 0.10%
to 0.40%. 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.

On January 25, 1999, the Company entered into a committed one year $300.0
million commercial paper conduit facility to facilitate interim sales of
manufactured housing contracts.

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. Four out of five
business units have fully tested and implemented Year 2000 solutions. Financial
Services upgraded their Information Technology platform in 1991 which included
Year 2000 problem solving. They have completed 92% of the system validation
process. A Year 2000 Steering Committee has been established and a project
leader has been assigned to oversee the process and report on a regular basis.
The steering committee is chaired by the President of the Company.

Information systems, consisting of hardware and software, have been modified or
replaced to ensure Year 2000 compliance. The Company's hardware consists of a
mainframe, networks, and personal computers. All desktop computers utilized in
mission critical functions 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 Company tested each of these
software systems using a standardized testing methodology which includes
millennium testing, millennium leap year testing, and cross over year testing.

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. 




                                       11
<PAGE>   12

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.

Through March 31, 1999 the Company has incurred approximately $250,000 in costs
associated with Year 2000 compliance. The total costs 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 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.





                                       12
<PAGE>   13

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.

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.
