2. On February 3, 1995 the registrant purchased the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Chandeleur Homes, Inc.
(Chandeleur) and Crest Ridge Homes, Inc. (Crest Ridge),
privately-held corporations with manufactured housing
operations in Alabama and Texas. The cash purchase price of
approximately $46.9 million was financed from existing cash
and new bank debt. Under the terms of the agreements, the
registrant paid $35 million of the purchase price at the date
of acquisition. A total of $3 million was held back to cover
potential post-closing audit adjustments, all of which has
been paid. The remaining $8.9 million will likely be paid
early in 1996 upon the attainment of certain profit levels.
The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method.
Chandeleur's and Crest Ridge's results of operations are
included with those of the registrant from the acquisition
date. In addition to these acquisitions, a company which
arranges transportation for a portion of the registrant's
manufactured housing business was acquired during the first
quarter for $700,000.
Summarized below are the unaudited pro forma combined results
of operations for the 13 and 39 week periods ended September
30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 assuming the Chandeleur and Crest
Ridge acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 1995 and
January 2, 1994, respectively. The pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of future earnings or earnings that
would have been reported had the acquisitions been completed
when assumed. Further, the pro forma income should not be
taken as indicative of earnings for a full year.

Pro Forma Income Taxes
The pro forma provision for income taxes has been calculated
on a consolidated basis as if the transactions had been
completed at the beginning of the respective periods. The
difference between taxes provided for financial reporting
purposes and expected charges at the statutory rate for the
periods ended September 30, 1995 is due to state and foreign
tax charges. The prior year's tax provisions include the
benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. On a fully taxed
basis, earnings per share from continuing operations for the
13 and 39 weeks ended October 1, 1994 would have been $0.47
and $1.25, respectively.
Pro Forma Earnings Per Share
Pro forma earnings per share are based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the respective periods
including stock options granted to Chandeleur and Crest Ridge
executives under agreements entered into in connection with
the acquisitions. Earnings per share have been adjusted for
the stock split discussed in Note 6 below.
3. As a result of the purchase of Chandeleur and Crest Ridge as
discussed in Note 2 above, the registrant recorded
approximately $45 million of goodwill (the excess of purchase
price over fair value of net assets acquired). The goodwill
is being amortized on the straight-line basis over the
expected periods to be benefited, which is 40 years. The
registrant will assess the recoverability of this intangible
asset on a regular basis by determining whether the
amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life
can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash
flows.
4. The difference between income taxes provided for financial
reporting purposes and expected charges at the statutory rate
for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995 is due to
state and foreign tax charges. Prior year's tax provisions
included the benefit of net operating loss carryforwards.
The components of the income tax provisions for the 39 week
periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 follows

5. Income from discontinued operations for the 39 weeks ended
October 1, 1994 includes a one-time after-tax gain of $1.9
million from the settlement of certain litigation.
6. On May 1, 1995 the shareholders approved a proposal to
increase the number of authorized shares to 30 million from 15
million. In addition, on May 1, 1995 the Board of Directors
approved a two-for-one split of the registrant's common stock
effective on May 30, 1995 to holders of record on May 15,
1995. The Board also approved a common stock repurchase
program for up to $10 million, approximately $1.9 million of
which was expended during the year-to-date period.
7. The per share amounts are calculated using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for each of the periods
presented and includes common stock equivalents. Earnings per
share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding for all
periods presented, including pro forma amounts, have been
adjusted for the stock split.
8. The Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in
the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods.
Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items except
for the $1.9 million of income from discontinued operations
included in the 39 week period ended October 1, 1994.
Financial results of the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for any other
interim periods or for the fiscal year.
9. On October 27, 1995, subsequent to quarter end, the registrant
purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of New Horizon
Manufactured Homes, Ltd., located in Alberta, Canada, for
approximately $3.9 million. Pursuant to the purchase
agreement, $3.2 million of the purchase price was paid on the
acquisition date and the remaining $700,000 will be paid upon
the earlier of the attainment of certain profit levels or
three years. The acquisition will be accounted for using the
purchase method.
10. Certain amounts in the prior periods' statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current periods' presentation.

Manufactured housing sales dollars for the quarter increased
due to a 38% unit shipment increase to 7,931 units during the
quarter, up from 5,735 units a year ago. Chandeleur and Crest
Ridge added $28.7 million to sales, or 18 percentage points of the
revenue increase on shipments of 1,503 units. Other manufactured
housing operations increased revenues by $25.4 million, or 16%,
and unit shipments by 693 units, or 12%. The registrant's U.S.
shipments, without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, increased 730
units, or 13%, over the prior year's third quarter. Excluding
Chandeleur and Crest Ridge the multi-sectional mix was 63%, up 4
percentage points from a year ago. Average selling price, without
Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, increased 4% to $28,416 from $27,422 a
year ago, due to the higher multi-sectional mix, normal periodic
price increases and recovery of additional costs due to regional
energy and wind standards imposed by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. Overall, average selling price for the current
third quarter was $26,648.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, Chandeleur and
Crest Ridge added $78.1 million to sales while other housing
operations increased revenues by $84.3 million, or 20%, and unit
shipments by 15%. The registrant's year-to-date U.S. shipments
rose 16% without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge. This increase
compares favorably to the industry's rise in shipments through
August 1995 of 12.5% to 223,741 units according to the
Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), an industry trade
association. Market share in the U.S. for the eight-month period,
excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, improved to 6.8% from 6.4%.
Including Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, market share improved to
8.4%. Overall, the registrant's year-to-date U.S. multi-sectional
mix was 55%, compared to the industry's 48% through August.
Excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, the average selling price
for the current year-to-date period was $28,147, compared to
$26,938 last year. Overall, year-to-date average selling price
was $26,450.
Bus shipments during third quarter reached 351 units, an
increase of 26% over last year's 279 units due to improved
municipal sales and new product introductions. Year-to-date
revenues rose 33% on a 28% increase in shipments to 978 units from
765 last year.
Costs and Expenses
Housing segment profits as a percent of sales were 8.0% for
the quarter, up from 7.5% a year ago. Excluding Chandeleur and
Crest Ridge, segment profits rose to 7.8% of sales primarily as a
result of expanded manufacturing capacity and increased production
efficiencies. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
October 1, 1994, housing margins were 7.5% and 7.4%, respectively.
Without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge the year-to-date margin was
7.2% in 1995, decreasing primarily as a result of start-up costs
at a new Indiana facility, lower backlog levels and increased
service costs. Chandeleur and Crest Ridge added $2.7 million to
segment profits for the current quarter and $7.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995. Segment profits are
calculated as income directly attributable to the segment before
general corporate expenses, interest income, interest expense and
income taxes.
Bus margins improved for the quarter and year-to-date periods
as a result of higher volume and improved manufacturing
efficiencies. Segment profits as a percent of sales were 5.7% and
5.0%, respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended
September 30, 1995. These amounts compare favorably to 5.0% and
3.7% for last year's respective periods.
For the 13 and 39 week periods, total selling, general and
administrative expenses increased primarily due to overall higher
volume, including the acquisitions. Interest expense increased
due to borrowings to fund the Chandeleur and Crest Ridge
acquisitions and to fund seasonal working capital requirements.
Income Taxes
The income tax provisions for the 13 and 39 weeks ended
September 30, 1995 increased over prior year amounts. See Note 4
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding this increase and components of the registrant's tax
provisions. On a fully taxed basis, earnings per share from
continuing operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 1,
1994 would have been $0.42 and $1.10, respectively.
OUTLOOK AND RISK FACTORS
According to the MHI, manufactured housing shipments
increased 12.5% for the first eight months of 1995 and are
expected to increase 7-10% for the year. Although the
registrant's incoming order rate has risen from last year,
unfilled orders for housing are approximately $90 million, the
same as they were a year ago, including Chandeleur and Crest Ridge
for both periods, due to the registrant's increased production
capacity and record high production levels. Unfilled orders are
not necessarily indicative of a long-term trend and are subject to
cancellation at any time without penalty. Order rates can vary
significantly with changes in, among other things, consumer
confidence, regional and national economic changes, interest
rates, financing availability, and, in some cases, the weather.
The registrant's performance goals are to achieve over 20%
compound annual growth in fully taxed earnings per share and a
minimum 30% annual return on equity. These goals are based on the
expected growth in the manufactured housing industry, the
registrant's increased manufacturing capacity, its increased
number of independent dealer locations, continued market share
improvement, and its acquisitions. These goals are also based on
a number of assumptions, many of which are beyond the registrant's
control, including continued growth in both the manufactured
housing industry and the overall general economy, only modest
changes in interest rates and continued availability of municipal
funding for commercial vehicles. There can be no assurance that
these assumptions will prove accurate and actual results may
differ substantially from these estimates.
The registrant is continuing its discussions with the
Environmental Protection Agency concerning alleged environmental
claims for the period 1955-1972. A liability for these alleged
claims was recorded by the registrant in the fourth quarter of
1994 and does not include any amount for potential insurance
recoveries. Final settlement is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the registrant's consolidated financial
position.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995, cash provided
by continuing operating activities was $24 million. The
registrant's cash and cash equivalents decreased to $9.3 million,
however, as cash was used for the acquisitions of Chandeleur and
Crest Ridge and additions to property and equipment, including
planned expenditures under a capital improvement program. The
registrant plans capital expenditures in excess of $8 million in
1995, down from $10.6 million in 1994. Cash totaling $1.9 million
was also used for the stock repurchase program. Subsequent to
quarter end, the registrant used $3.2 million to purchase New
Horizon Manufactured Homes, Ltd. (see Note 9). For additional
information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
39 weeks on page 4 of this Report.
The registrant has a new unsecured line of credit totaling
$70 million with Comerica Bank, Detroit as agent and the First
National Bank of Chicago, including $10 million available to cover
letters of credit. At quarter end $8.1 million was outstanding on
the line of credit, which expires on September 29, 1998. Letters
of credit outstanding at September 30, 1995 totaled $6.6 million,
generally to support insurance obligations and licensing and
service bonding required by various states. The registrant
believes its existing sources of liquidity are adequate for
operating requirements, common stock repurchases, and planned
capital expenditures for the current fiscal year. Growth
opportunities, through additional acquisitions of related
businesses, and, if prudent, in diversified businesses, continue
to be pursued by the registrant.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information.
(a) The Board of Directors on the recommendation of the
Compensation Committee has approved a new five-year
compensation program, effective August 31, 1995, with
Walter R. Young, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. Among other things, the compensation
program is designed to retain the continued services of
Mr. Young and to support the continuing creation of
shareholder value and attainment of strategic financial
objectives. Options for 200,000 shares were granted at
fair market value as of August 31, 1995 pursuant to
the 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (1995 Plan).
Options for 550,000 shares, also priced at fair market
value as of August 31, 1995 and pursuant to the 1995
Plan, were granted subject to shareholder approval of
amendments to the 1995 Plan at the 1996 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders. In addition, Mr. Young was awarded
50,000 performance shares pursuant to the 1995 Plan, also
subject to shareholder approval of amendments to the 1995
Plan. The options vest on the fifth anniversary of the
grant date provided that Mr. Young remains employed by the
registrant during such period and has kept 250,000
previously-owned shares on deposit with the registrant.
Mr. Young retains full ownership and voting rights as to
these deposited shares. One-half of the options (375,000) vest
earlier than the five-year term (in three or four years)
if certain stock price appreciation is attained. The
options expire at the earlier of eight years after grant
