              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     The  condensed  consolidated  financial statements of Clayton Homes, Inc.
and  its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared
by  the  Company,  without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included  in  financial statements prepared in accordance
with  generally  accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
to  Shareholders  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2000.

The  information  furnished  reflects  all adjustments which are necessary for a
fair  presentation of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2000,
the  results  of  its  operations and its cash flows for the three month periods
ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999.  All  such  adjustments  are of a normal
recurring  nature.

In  the  first  quarter  of  2001,  the  Company  adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging  Activities,  which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 133
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative  instruments
embedded  in  other  contracts and for hedging activities. Such adoption did not
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  reported  results  of operations,
financial  position  or  cash  flows.

The  Company  also  adopted  the  Financial  Accounting Standards Board's (FASB)
Emerging  Issues  Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling  Revenues  and  Costs, in the first quarter of 2001.  Such adoption did
not  have  a  material  impact  on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial  position  or  cash  flows.

2.     The  results  of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and  1999  are  not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
respective  full  years.

8.     In  December  1999,  the  Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  (SAB)  No.  101,  Revenue  Recognition in Financial
Statements.  It  summarizes  the  SEC's  views  in  applying  generally accepted
accounting  principles to selected revenue recognition issues.  An amendment was
issued  in  June  2000,  which delays the implementation until no later than the
fourth  quarter  of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999.  The Company
believes  that  its practices already comply with the provisions of SAB No. 101,
and  its  adoption  is  not  expected to have a material impact on the Company's
reported  results  of  operations,  financial  position  or  cash  flows.

In  September  2000,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers  and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
which  replaced SFAS No. 125.  SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting
for  securitizations  and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires  certain  disclosures.  This  statement  is  effective for fiscal years
ending  after  December  15,  2000.   Such adoption is not expected to have a
material  impact  on  the  Company's  reported  results of operations, financial
position  or  cash  flows.

Company's  retail and community sales centers and wholesale sales to independent
retailers.  It  also  reflects  percentage  changes  in  the  average  number of
Company-owned retail centers, communities and independent retailers, the average
sales  per  location,  and  the  average  price  per home sold in each category.

</TABLE>

Total  revenues  for  the three months ended September 30, 2000, declined 11% to
$301 million, which consisted of a 13% decrease in manufactured housing sales to
$230  million, a 2% reduction in financial services income to $53 million  and a
3%  increase  in  rental  and  other  income  to  $18  million.

Current  conditions  in the manufactured housing industry are highly competitive
at  both the retail and wholesale levels.  Presently, the industry is faced with
over-capacity  in  manufacturing  and too many retail centers.  This competitive
environment, as well as rising interest rates and general credit tightening, has
contributed  to  decreased  industry  and  Company  sales.

The  Retail group experienced a reduction of net sales of 11% to $158 million as
the  average  home  price  decreased  2%  and  the number of Company-owned sales
centers  increased  3%.   Reflecting  the

                                        7
<PAGE>

competitive  industry  environment,  as well as increased repossessed home sales
and  higher  interest  rates,  the average number of homes sold per sales center
declined  12%.  In addition, net sales of the Manufacturing group to independent
retailers  decreased  20% to $62 million, and the number of homes sold decreased
23%  to  2,645.   However, the Communities group net sales increased slightly to
$10  million  as  1%  more homes were sold, while the average home selling price
decreased  1%.

Within  the  Financial  Services  segment,  interest and loan servicing revenues
increased  $4  million,  and insurance related revenues rose $2 million.  Rental
and  other  income  increased  3%  on  a  9%  rise in Communities rental income.

Loans  sold  through  asset-backed  securities totaled $265 million, compared to
$356  million  during  the  same  period last year.  Financial services interest
expense  decreased  28%  to  $.2  million.  Debt  collateralized  by installment
contract  receivables  dropped 29% to an average of $8 million, and the weighted
average  interest  rate  increased to 10.6% from 10.4%.

Gross profit margins increased to 33.2% from 32.8%.  This increase was 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  31.4%  from  29.1%  in  the prior year period.  This increase was
primarily  due  to  a  decline in overall sales volume in addition to growth  of
Company-owned  sales  centers  with  a  decrease  in sales, and reduced capacity
utilization in manufacturing.  Additional set up costs associated with the shift
in mix toward larger homes was also a factor.  The increase in the provision for
credit  losses  was  primarily  due  to  the  additional  number of contracts in
repossession  from  the  same  period  last  year.

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.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources
----------------------------------

Cash  at  September 30, 2000, was $32 million as compared to $44 million at June
30, 2000.  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's  debt  to capital ratio was 8% at September 30, 2000. The Company
had  long-term  debt outstanding of $98 million and $99 million at September 30,
2000  and  June  30,  2000, respectively.  Short-term debt available consists of
$186 million committed and $67 million uncommitted lines of credit.  These lines
of  credit  do  not  require  collateral  and  are  priced  on LIBOR rates.  The
committed  credit  lines  are  guaranteed by all significant subsidiaries of the
Company  and  are  governed  by  various  financial  covenants  which  require
maintenance  of  certain  financial  ratios.

The  Company  has $75 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due December 30, 2003, which
are  primarily  to  facilitate the purchase, origination and warehousing of loan
portfolios.  The  Senior Notes are guaranteed by all significant subsidiaries of
the  Company  and  are  governed  by  various  financial covenants which require
maintenance  of  certain  financial  ratios.

A committed one year $300 million commercial paper conduit facility is available
to  facilitate the sale of manufactured housing contracts.  The facility was not
utilized  at  September  30, 2000.  The Company owns its inventory; therefore no
floorplanning  arrangements  are  necessary.

In  December  1999,  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
It  summarizes  the  SEC's  views  in  applying  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  to  selected revenue recognition issues.  An amendment was issued in
June  2000,  which  delays  the  implementation  until  no later than the fourth
quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999.  The Company believes
that  its  practices  already comply with the provisions of SAB No. 101, and its
adoption  is  not  expected  to have a material impact on the Company's reported
results  of  operations,  financial  position  or  cash  flows.

In  September  2000,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers  and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
which  replaced SFAS No. 125.  SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting
for  securitizations  and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires  certain  disclosures.  This  statement  is  effective for fiscal years
ending  after  December  15,  2000.  Such  adoption is not expected to have a
material  impact  on  the  Company's  reported  results of operations, financial
position  or  cash  flows.


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, availability of wholesale
and retail financing, 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, 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,  capital  market  liquidity, government monetary policy, stable
regulation  of  manufacturing  standards,  consumer  confidence, favorable trade
policies,  and  general  prevailing  economic  and  employment  conditions.
