(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. Net earnings per common share have been
restated to reflect the Company's six-for-five stock split on
February 28, 1997.

(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.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1997
COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
28, 1996. 
     Net Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were
$89.1 million, an decrease of 4.2% from sales of $93.0 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This decline is attributable
primarily to lower sales in the 
Texas market, the nation's largest, where manufactured home
retailers have been engaged in aggressive expansion. Based
on their experience obtaining sufficient units to meet demand
in 1996,
<PAGE> 
many Texas manufactured home retailers built up inventory
levels last winter to ensure they would have units available in
the spring and summer of 1997. However, while each dealer
was increasing inventory, the number of retail locations in
Texas also continued to proliferate. In the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, total inventory on retail dealer lots in Texas
reached a point where it was greater than demand was likely
to absorb in the immediate future. Dealers began to adjust
inventory by reducing their orders to manufacturers,
including the Company. As a result, our order volume from
the Texas market declined. While dealer inventory levels
have declined and new orders in Texas are increasing, there
may be some residual effect in the second quarter as the
phenomenon works its way through the system. The average
selling price per section decreased by 2.7% from the same
time a year earlier due to increased sales of lower priced
"package" multi-section homes. Total sections sold in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 were 4,426, an increase of 8
sections (0.2%) from the prior year period.  Multi-section
homes represented 73.2% of the homes sold during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to 68.5% in fiscal 1997.
The Company is uncertain whether the increased proportional
sales of multi-section homes will continue because it is
subject to regional preferences and economic conditions.
     Cost of Goods Sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
was $70.7 million, which represented a decrease of 2.5%
from the first quarter of fiscal 1997, reflecting our decrease
in sales.  Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales
increased from 77.9% in fiscal 1997 to 79.3% in fiscal 1998.
This percentage increase in cost of goods sold was primarily
due to increased labor and material costs.  The percentage
increase in labor was due to retooling for the introduction of
new products at our Milton, Pennsylvania facility and the
startup of expanded capacity at our Buckeye, Arizona facility
which caused some disruption of productivity as the plant
came on line and new personnel were trained. Material costs
increased as a result of a shift in demand toward our lower
margin "package" products. The increase in material costs
will depend on market conditions by region, and labor costs
should stabilize.
     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $14.7 million, which
represented a decrease of $487,000 (3.2%) from fiscal 1997.
As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to
16.5% from 16.3% when compared to the prior year period.
This increase resulted from increased marketing costs
relating to the competitiveness in the market resulting from
softness in the Texas market.
     The Company earned an operating income of $3.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 or 4.2% of net
sales.  This compares to an operating income of $5.4 million
or 5.8% of net sales in the prior year period.  
     Interest and other income contributed $156,000 to
earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to
$131,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Interest expense
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $10,000, compared to
$27,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  
     Net income in the current quarter was $2.3 million
($0.51 per common share), compared to a net income of
$3.2 million ($0.71 per common share) in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. We expect to earn a return on our investments of
expanded capacity in Buckeye, Arizona and retooling of our
Milton, Pennsylvania facility. With those factors working in
or favor and an improvement in market conditions, we hope
we can exceed on the sales and earnings records we achieved
in fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     During of the current quarter, the Company had no
borrowings under its credit facility which remained
unchanged from the balance at June 28, 1997. At the end of
the quarter, total long-term debt was $522,000, an increase
of $159,000 compared to the balance at June 28, 1997.
<PAGE>
     The Company's has a bank commitment for an
unsecured credit facility which permits borrowings of up to
an aggregate of the lower of $15.0 million, or a borrowing
base computed by applying certain factors to the value of the
Company's receivables and inventories.
     Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 were $3,073,000, compared to $1,639,000 from the
prior year period. This increase was due to the completion of
our expansion in Buckeye, Arizona.
     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. There are significant changes occurring in the market
for manufactured homes, with a few large competitors
announcing their intent to purchase or establish retail sales
centers owned by the manufacturer. We cannot predict the
effect this will have in the long run, but it may have a short-term adverse 
effect on the Company's sales. We have
assumed that raw material prices will not increase
significantly, that employee relations continue to be
favorable, that weather conditions will not unusually restrict
delivery of homes or adversely affect sales, that orders on
hand are not canceled by dealers, and that no unusual
workers' compensation or other legal claim adversely affects
the corporation. General economic conditions, rising interest
rates, and consumer uncertainty or lack of confidence may
result in delayed purchases of homes. 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 sale of housing is a complex and difficult
business, with significant adverse risks beyond our control.
We do not intend to update statements made in this report.
