                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

   1.   The unaudited financial information included in this report includes
        all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
        reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  The
        operations for the nine months ended August 2, 1997 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

        Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
        financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
        accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
        Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations governing form
        10-Q.  The condensed financial statements included in this report
        should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
        thereto included in the Registrant's November 2, 1996 form 10-K
        annual report.

   2.   Inventories

        Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of
        finished home inventories is determined on the specific
        identification method.  Other inventory costs are determined on a
        first-in, first-out basis.  Cost components of inventories are
        material, labor and plant overhead.  The cost of goods sold for the
        nine months ended August 2, 1997 and August 3, 1996 reflects opening
        and closing inventories as follows:

                      August 2,     November 2,     August 3,     November 2,
                        1997           1996           1996           1995

   3.   Acquisition.

        On November 22, 1995, the Company acquired three manufacturing home
        sales centers in Florida in an asset acquisition by issuing 18,000
        shares common stock valued at $252,000.  This transaction was
        accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly,
        the purchased assets have been recorded at their estimated fair
        market value at the date of acquisition.  This treatment resulted in
        approximately $74,195 of cost in excess of net assets acquired, which
        is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.  The
        results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included
        in the consolidated financial statements since the date of
        acquisition.

   4.   Joint Venture.  

        In July 1997 the Company invested $250,000 in a joint venture with
        21st Century Corporation to provide additional mortgage financing
        services to the Company's retail sales centers.

               Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Results Of 
                       Operations And Financial Condition


   Results of Operations

        Net sales for the three months ended August 2, 1997 increased 6
   percent to $10,616,287 compared to $9,996,978 for the same period last
   year.  Net sales for the nine months ended of fiscal 1997 increased 11
   percent to $29,266,980 as compared to $26,434,461 a year ago.  This
   increase in sales was primarily due to the sales to non-related dealers
   increasing to $5,811,917 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to
   $3,511,009 for the same period last year.   The Company had fifteen retail
   sales centers in full operation during the first nine months of 1997 as
   compared to twelve retail sales centers in full operation for the first
   quarter of 1996 plus the acquisition during that quarter of three existing
   retail sales centers.  In March 1997 one retail sales center was closed
   due to poor performance and another retail sales center was purchased. 
   Same store sales volume for the first nine months of 1997, was
   approximately the same as the first nine months of 1996.

        Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was approximately 26.7
   percent in the third quarter of 1997 up from 24.9 percent in the same
   period last year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the
   increased margins at the manufacturing facilities.  Gross profit, as a
   percentage of sales, was approximately 25.8 percent for both the first
   nine months of 1997 and the same period last year. 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
   sales, fluctuated very little and was approximately 15 percent for the
   three and nine month periods of 1997 and 1996. 

        Other income consists of interest income from short term investments. 
   As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the third
   quarter of 1997 was $780,601 or $.26 per share, compared to $633,648 or
   $.21 per share in 1996.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1997 net
   income was $2,026,797 or $.68 per share, compared to $1,748,515 or $.59
   per share for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents were $2,684,407 at August 2, 1997 compared
   to $2,049,184 as of November 2, 1996.  Inventories increased to $8,770,626
   as of August 2, 1997 as compared to $7,820,908 at the end of fiscal year
   1996.  The increase in inventory is primarily due to the purchase of one
   existing manufacturing home retail sales center and a larger number of
   sold retail homes in the process of being closed and funded.     

        The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with a major bank
   providing for borrowings up to $2.5 million and a second revolving line of
   credit agreement with a major bank which provides for borrowings up to
   $1.5 million.  These two agreements provide the Company with an additional
   $4.0 million of working capital for use in connection with its overall
   operations.

        The Company in March 1997 acquired one additional existing
   manufactured home retail sales center in North Central Florida for $85,000
   cash.  In November 1995 the Company acquired three retail sales centers in
   Florida in an asset acquisition by issuing 18,000 shares of common stock
   with a fair market value of $252,000.

        In July 1997 the Company invested $250,000 in a joint venture with
   21st Century Corporation to provide additional mortgage financing services
   to the Company's retail sales centers.

        Consistent with normal practice, the Company's operations are not
   expected to require significant capital expenditures during fiscal 1997. 
   Working capital requirements for inventory for any new sales centers will
   be met through a combination of internal sources and the revolving credit
   lines discussed above.
