                      CAVALIER HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
               For the Thirteen Week Periods Ended March 29, 1996
                               And March 31, 1995

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

*    The  accompanying  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements have been
     prepared in compliance with Form 10-Q  instructions and thus do not include
     all of  the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
     the Company,  these statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
     fairly the  Company's  financial  position  as of March 29,  1996,  and the
     results of its  operations  for the thirteen  week periods  ended March 29,
     1996 and March 31, 1995 and its cash flows for the  thirteen  week  periods
     ended March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995.  All  adjustments  are of a normal
     recurring nature.

*    The results of operations  for the thirteen  weeks ended March 29, 1996 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

*    Inventories  consist primarily of raw materials and are stated at the lower
     of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

*    The Company  accounts for its  marketable  securities  in  accordance  with
     Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain
     Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities,  which requires that marketable
     securities  be  classified  into  three  categories  -  held  to  maturity,
     available  for  sale,  and  trading,  each  having a  specified  accounting
     treatment as to carrying  value and  recognition  of  unrealized  gains and
     losses.

*    Certain  amounts from the 1995 period have been  reclassified to conform to
     the 1996  period  presentation.  These  reclassifications  had no effect on
     results of operations or stockholders' equity.

*    Net income per share is computed by dividing  net  earnings by the weighted
     average  number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during the thirteen
     week  periods  after  giving  effect  to the  equivalent  shares  which are
     issuable  upon the  exercise of stock  options  determined  by the treasury
     stock method.

2.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES

                                                        Thirteen Weeks Ended
                                                     March 29,         March 31,
                                                        1996              1995

         Cash paid for:    Interest               $   121,000       $   117,281
                           Income taxes           $    45,000       $    72,258

3.   CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

*    In February 1994, the Company executed a $13 million  revolving,  warehouse
     and term-loan  agreement (the "Credit  Facility")  with its primary lender.
     The Credit Facility  contains a revolving line of credit which provides for
     borrowings  (including  letters  of  credit)  of up to 80%  and  50% of the
     Company's  eligible  (as  defined)  accounts  receivable  and  inventories,
     respectively,  up to a maximum of $5 million. Interest is payable under the
     revolving  line of  credit at the  bank's  prime  rate  (8.25% at March 29,
     1996).

     The  warehouse and term-loan agreements  contained  in  the Credit Facility
     provide for  borrowings of up to 80% of the Company's eligible (as defined)
     installment sale contracts, up to a maximum of $8 million. Interest on term
     notes is fixed for a period of five years from  issuance at a rate based on
     the weekly average yield on five year treasury securities averaged over the
     preceding 13 weeks,  plus 2.4%, and floats for the remaining two years at a
     rate (subject to certain  limits) equal to the bank's prime rate plus .75%.
     The warehouse  component of the Credit Facility  provides for borrowings of
     up to $2 million  with  interest  payable at the bank's prime rate plus 1%.
     However,  in no event may the aggregate  outstanding  borrowings  under the
     warehouse and term-loan agreement exceed $8 million.

                      CAVALIER HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes To Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
               For The Thirteen Week Periods Ended March 29, 1996
                               And March 31, 1995

3.   CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS - Continued

     The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive  covenants which limit the
     aggregate of dividend  payments and  purchases of treasury  stock to 50% of
     consolidated net income for the two most recent years.  Amounts outstanding
     under the Credit  Facility  are  secured  by the  accounts  receivable  and
     inventories of the Company,  loans  purchased and originated by CAC and the
     capital stock of certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries.

     On March 14, 1996, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Facility
     which increased the maximum  available  borrowings  under the warehouse and
     term-loan  agreements  contained in the Credit Facility to $18 million from
     the previous limit of $8 million.  The amendment increased the total amount
     of available  borrowings under the Credit Facility (including the revolving
     line of  credit)  to $23  million  from $13  million.  In  addition  to the
     increase in available  borrowings under the Credit  Facility,  the interest
     rate on prospective borrowings under the term-loan portion of the agreement
     was reduced by .40%. The bank's  commitment  under the Credit Facility will
     expire in April of 1998.  All other  major  terms  and  commitments  remain
     unchanged.

     As of March 29,  1996,  the   Company had  $4,701,000  borrowed  under  the
     Credit Facility.

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

*    A  three-for-two  stock  split of the  Company's  common  stock  which  was
     effected in the form of a 50% stock  dividend was  distributed  on February
     15, 1996 to  stockholders of record on January 31, 1996 and a five-for-four
     stock split effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend was distributed on
     August 15, 1995 to  stockholders of record on July 31, 1995. All historical
     dividends  and earnings per share  amounts have been adjusted for the stock
     splits.

*    Cash  dividends  were paid  during  this  quarter  and the  previous  three
     quarters as follows (all amounts are per share):

                                                                Split Adjusted
               Record Date              Payment Date            Dividend Paid

              January 31, 1996          February 15, 1996          $     .030
              October 31, 1995          November 15, 1995          $     .020
              July 31, 1995             August 15, 1995            $     .020
              April 30, 1995            May 16, 1995               $     .016

5.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

*    It is a customary  practice in the  manufactured  housing industry to enter
     into  repurchase and other recourse  agreements  with lending  institutions
     which have  provided  wholesale  floor plan  financing  to  dealers.  These
     agreements  generally provide for repurchase of the Company's products from
     the  lending  institutions  for  the  balance  due  them  in the  event  of
     repossession upon a dealer's default.  Although the Company is contingently
     liable for approximately $68 million under these agreements as of March 29,
     1996,  such  contingency  is reduced by the resale value of the homes which
     are required to be  repurchased.  The Company has provided an allowance for
     losses of $750,000 at March 29, 1996, based on prior experience and current
     market  conditions.  Management  expects no material  loss in excess of the
     allowance.

*    The  Company's  workmen's  compensation,   product  liability  and  general
     liability   insurance   coverages  are  provided   under   incurred   loss,
     retrospectively  rated premium plans. Under these plans, the Company incurs
     insurance  expenses  based upon various  rates  applied to current  payroll
     costs and sales.  Annually,  such  insurance  expenses  are adjusted by the
     carrier for loss experience  factors subject to minimum and maximum premium
     calculations.  At March 29, 1996,  the Company is  contingently  liable for
     future retrospective premium adjustments up to a maximum of $6.3 million in
     the event that additional losses are reported related to prior periods. The
     Company has recorded an estimated  liability of approximately $1.12 million
     related  to such  incurred  but not  reported  claims  at March  29,  1996.
     Management expects no material loss in excess of this allowance.

*    The Company and certain of its equity  partners  have jointly and severally
     guaranteed  certain  short-term  debt with a balance of $2,000,000 at March
     29, 1996, of a partnership in which the Company owns a 33% interest.

*    The Company is engaged in various litigation which is routine in nature and
     in  management's  opinion,  will  have no  material  adverse  effect on the
     Company's financial statements.


6.   ACQUISITIONS

     In August of 1995,  the Company  acquired an option to purchase the balance
     (73.5%)  of  the  outstanding   shares  of  common  stock  of  Wheel  House
     Structures,  Inc.  ("Wheel House") not already owned by the Company through
     the  reissuance  of treasury  stock and the issuance of common stock with a
     total value of  $464,000.  In January of 1996,  the Company  exercised  the
     option and acquired the  remaining  common stock of Wheel House through the
     issuance of common stock valued at $691,000.  The total  purchase  price of
     the  acquisition  was  $1,155,000  and has been  accounted  for  under  the
     purchase method.  The Company acquired the manufacturing  facility operated
     by Wheel House for $550,000  cash and an  assumption  of long-term  debt of
     $1,100,000,  a total  consideration  of  $1,650,000.  The  acquisition  was
     immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

General

The  principal  business of the Company  since its inception has been the design
and production of  manufactured  homes.  Currently the Company  operates  eleven
facilities  engaged in the  manufacture  of homes and a component  manufacturing
facility engaged in the manufacture of laminated wallboards.  In early 1992, the
Company,  through its wholly owned subsidiary  Cavalier  Acceptance  Corporation
("CAC"),  commenced retail installment sale financing  operations.  During 1994,
the Company  formed  Cavalier  Insurance  Agency,  Inc.  ("CIA") to sell various
insurance  products.  The  operations  of CAC  and CIA are  reported  under  the
financial services business segment in the Company's annual report.

The Company's business is cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many of the
same national and regional  demographic  factors that affect the general  United
States housing market. According to industry statistics, after a ten year low in
shipments of homes in 1991,  the industry has recovered  significantly,  posting
increases in shipments of 24%, 21%, 20% and 12% for 1992,  1993 , 1994 and 1995,
respectively,  as compared to the prior year.  Industry statistics for the first
quarter  of 1996  indicate  a  continued  trend in the  increase  of  shipments,
although at a slower pace than previous years. The Company attributes the upturn
in the manufactured  housing industry to increased  consumer  confidence,  wider
acceptance  of  manufactured   housing,  a  reduction  in  the  availability  of
alternative  housing,  increased  availability  of  consumer  financing  and  an
improvement in the overall economy.

Accordingly,  as business  conditions have improved the Company has expanded its
manufacturing  operations  to increase and improve its  capacity to  manufacture
homes.  During the last three years the  Company  has opened or  acquired  three
facilities in Alabama and one facility each in Georgia, Texas and Pennsylvania.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                 March 29, 1996

Net Sales.  The Company  believes  the  increase  in net sales of $17.0  million
during the current period over the comparable  period from the previous year was
primarily the result of the continuation of improving industry trends,  combined
with new and aggressive  marketing programs instituted by the Company during the
current and prior  periods,  including the exclusive  dealer  program and dealer
stock option plan and the increase in manufacturing  capacity during the current
period and the  previous  year.  The  increase  in homes sold during the current
period over the comparable  period in the previous year of 388 homes or 14.1% is
primarily  attributable  to  the  increase  in  production  capacity  previously
described.  The Company has been experiencing a slight shift in product mix from
single-section homes to multi-section homes.

Gross  Profit on Sales.  The  increase  in gross  profit  on sales  (derived  by
deducting  cost of sales from net  sales) of $4.0  million  during  the  current
period  over  the  comparable   period  from  the  previous  year  is  primarily
attributable to the increase in sales and improved  efficiency in  manufacturing
operations combined with a decline in raw materials prices.

Financial  Services Revenue.  The increase in current period financial  services
revenue (primarily interest income on retail installment  contracts) of $286,000
or  85.6%  from  the  comparable  period  in  the  previous  year  is  primarily
attributable to the growth of the Company's loan portfolio to $22.4 million,  an
increase of 84.6%.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.  The  growth  in  selling,  general  and
administrative  expense of $2.1  million  over the  previous  year's  comparable
period  is  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in  sales  combined  with
increased expenses due to the addition of personnel, the opening or expansion of
manufacturing  facilities and increased  administrative  expenses of CAC and CIA
consistent with their growth.

Net  Income.  The  increase  in net  income of $1.4  million  or 89.1%  over the
previous year's comparable  period is primarily  attributable to the increase in
sales volume.  Net Income per share during the current  period was $.30 compared
to $.17 from the previous year's  comparable  period.  (Net income per share has
been adjusted for all previous stock splits.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  following  table sets forth certain items  relating to the  measurement  of
liquidity  and  capital  resources  from the  Company's  consolidated  condensed
financial statements for the dates indicated:

</TABLE>

Although earnings for the period increased,  working capital decreased primarily
due to capital  expenditures  of $1.5 million plus an expenditure of $.6 million
in connection with an acquisition combined with loan originations by CAC of $3.7
million.  The increase in long-term  debt is  attributable  to the purchase of a
manufacturing facility in Haleyville,  Alabama (for further information relating
to  the  purchase  of  this  manufacturing  facility,  see  footnote  6  in  the
consolidated condensed financial statements included herein).

The  Company's   primary   business  segment  is  the  production  and  sale  of
manufactured  housing.  In 1992, the Company began the operations of CAC to fund
installment sale contracts to the retail customers of the Company's  Independent
Exclusive  Dealers.  As the  operations  of CAC  expanded,  in February 1994 the
Company  entered into a Credit  Facility with its primary lender (see footnote 3
to the consolidated  condensed financial  statements included herein) to provide
additional funds for CAC's growth. As of March 29, 1996, the Company's portfolio
of installment sale contracts had grown to  approximately  $22.4 million and had
been funded  primarily with internally  generated  working  capital,  borrowings
under the Credit  Facility and a portion of the net proceeds from an offering of
the Company's common stock during 1994.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                 March 29, 1996

Since  entering  into  the  Credit  Facility,  the  Company  has  had  aggregate
borrowings  of $5.7 million in order to continue to fund the  operations  of CAC
and to minimize the interest  rate risk of the  Company's  loan  portfolio.  The
Company expects to continue to borrow funds under the Credit Facility to finance
the  continuing  operations  and growth of CAC. On March 14,  1996,  the Company
executed  an  amendment  to the Credit  Facility  which  increased  the  maximum
available  borrowings under the warehouse and term-loan  agreements contained in
the Credit  Facility to $18 million from the previous  limit of $8 million.  The
amendment  increased the total amount of available  borrowings  under the Credit
Facility  (including  the  revolving  line of  credit) to $23  million  from $13
million.  In addition to the increase in available  borrowings  under the Credit
Facility,  the  interest  rate on  prospective  borrowings  under the  term-loan
portion of the agreement was reduced by .40%. As the  operations of CAC continue
to  expand,  the  Company  anticipates  that it will  be  able to  increase  its
borrowing capacity.

The  Company's  capital  expenditures  were  approximately  $1.5 million for the
thirteen  weeks  ended  March  29,  1996 as  compared  to $1.2  million  for the
comparable period of 1995.  Capital  expenditures  during these periods included
normal  property,  plant  and  equipment  additions  and  replacements  and  the
continued expansion and modernization of certain of the Company's  manufacturing
facilities.

The Company  believes  that  existing  cash and  investment  balances  and funds
available under the Credit Facility,  together with cash provided by operations,
should be adequate to fund the Company's  operations and expansion plans for the
next twelve months.  In order to provide  additional funds for continued pursuit
of the Company's growth  strategies and for operations over the longer term, the
Company  may  incur,  from time to time,  additional  short and  long-term  bank
indebtedness  and may issue, in public or private  transactions,  its equity and
debt securities,  the availability and terms of which may depend upon market and
other  conditions.  There  can be no  assurance  that such  possible  additional
financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
