(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
         Net earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding during the period.  

(3) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         The Company's quarterly sales and operating results are principally
affected by the seasonal nature of the Company's business.  Historically, the
Company's sales and operating results are at their lowest levels in the fiscal
third quarter, when weather conditions have an adverse impact on both orders
and shipments. In the opinion of Company management, the interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods presented.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         The following table sets forth selected items of the Company's
statement of operations as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.  Net Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $93.0
million, an increase of 15.6% from sales of $80.5 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. This was a record sales quarter for the Company. This increase was
due to utilization of our plant expansions and strong market conditions,
combined with a broader product line offering in certain regions. We believe we
can continue to increase our sales during the second quarter compared to last
year, if strong market conditions continue. The average selling price per
section increased by 0.8% from the same time a year earlier. Total sections
sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were 4,418, an increase of 567
sections (14.7%) from the prior year period.  Multi-section homes represented
68.5% of the homes sold during the first quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to
60.8% in fiscal 1996.
         Cost of Goods Sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $72.5
million, which represented an increase of 13.2% from the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, reflecting our increase in sales.  Cost of goods sold as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 79.6% in fiscal 1996 to 77.9% in fiscal
1997. This percentage decrease in cost of goods sold was due primarily to
decreased labor and material costs.  The percentage decrease in labor was due
to plant expansions becoming more efficient, along with results from the
Company's margin improvement initiatives. Material costs decreased as a result
of improved corporate purchasing procedures. The decrease in material costs
will depend on market conditions by region, and labor costs will stabilize.
         Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 were $15.1 million, which represented an increase of $2.0 million
(15.3%) from fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses remained
the same at 16.3% of net sales when compared to the prior year period.
         The Company earned an operating income of $5.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 or 5.8% of net sales.  This compares to an operating
income of $3.3 million or 4.1% of net sales in the prior year period.
         Interest and other income contributed $131,000 to earnings in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $13,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.  This was due to the increase in cash flow available for
investments.  Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
$27,000, compared to $54,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
         Net income in the current quarter was a record $3.2 million ($0.85 per
common share), compared to a net income of $1.9 million ($0.50 per common
share) in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. We believe our earnings for the
second quarter will be greater than second quarter of fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         At the end of the current quarter, the Company had no outstanding
borrowings under its credit facility which remained unchanged from the balance
at June 29, 1996. At the end of the quarter, total long-term debt was $363,000,
a decrease of $321,000 compared to the balance at June 29, 1996.
         The Company's unsecured credit facility expiring January 31, 1997
permits borrowings of up to $10,000,000.  The Company has access to additional
bank financing up to $4,000,000 for seasonal use, if needed.
         Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were
$1,639,000, compared to $641,000 from the prior year period. The announced
$6,000,000 expansion in Buckeye, Arizona should bring capital expenditures for
fiscal 1997 to $12,800,000.
         The Company expects that funds generated from operations combined with
funds available under long-term secured financing arrangements and its
revolving credit facility, will be adequate to support its capital expenditure
needs and required debt amortization.

RISK FACTORS
         Forward-looking statements are made only as of the date made, based
upon factors known to management at the time. We are aware that material prices
may increase, and have assumed that we will have no undue difficulty passing on
those costs without adversely affecting sales. We have also assumed that
employee relations continue to be favorable, that orders on hand are not
canceled by dealers, and that no unusual workers' compensation or other legal
claim adversely affects the corporation. In the short term, weather factors are
often more significant in winter, and may severely restrict shipment and
manufacture of houses. General economic conditions and consumer uncertainty or
lack of confidence may result in delayed purchases of homes. A number of
economists have predicted rising interest rates after the elections, which may
adversely affect financing and sales. The Company has assumed that the current
generation of retirees and the emerging generation of retirees will have the
same interest in purchasing manufactured homes, an assumption which has not yet
been tested and may not be appropriate. We are aware that unpredictable events
can and do occur and cannot assure anyone that adverse events will not take
place. The manufacture and sales of housing is a complex and difficult
business, with many unforeseen events and conditions beyond the control of
manufacturers. We do not intend to update statements made in this report.
