1.       Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments, which included only normal recurring adjustments, which
         are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair and accurate
         presentation.  Certain footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been omitted.  The condensed financial
         statements should be read  in conjunction with  the audited financial
         statements for the year  ended  March 28, 1997.  Results of operations
         for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be
         expected for a full year.

         On August 1, 1996, the Company acquired an additional 58.4% of Newco

         The Company had previously owned 41.6% of Newco's outstanding shares.
         The Company's purchase price for the remaining 58.4% of Newco's
         outstanding shares consisted of $17.3 million cash and 1,805,556

5.       Other Assets

         Other assets include goodwill of $29.3 million at September 26, 1997
         and $28.7 at March 28, 1997, with accumulated amortization of $2.0
         million and $1.3 million, respectively.

6.       Floor Plan Payable

         The Company has floor plan credit facilities totaling $67.0 million
         from financial institutions to finance a major portion of its home
         inventory at the Company's retail superstores.  These facilities are
         secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and cash in
         transit from financial institutions.  Interest rates range from prime
         (8.5% at September 26, 1997) to prime plus one-quarter percent.  The
         Company had $46.8 million and $45.3 million outstanding on these
         credit facilities at September 26, 1997 and March 28, 1997,
         respectively.

         On July 11, 1997, the Company obtained a $25.0 million unsecured
         revolving line of credit from a financial institution for general
         corporate purposes.  The line of credit bears interest, at the option
         of the Company (under certain conditions), at either the LIBOR rate
         plus .625% or the prime rate minus 1%.  The line of credit contains
         provisions regarding minimum net worth requirements and certain
         indebtedness limitations which would limit the amount available for
         future borrowings.  The line of credit also requires an annual
         commitment fee of $20,000 and is available through  July 10, 1999.
         There was no amount outstanding on this line of credit at September
         26, 1997.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
27, 1996

      NET SALES.  Net sales increased 0.3% to $153.1 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $152.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1997.  Although retail sales increased 24% and wholesale sales increased 2%,
the minimal increase in consolidated net sales of 0.3% was due primarily to two
factors.  First, a rise in the internalization rate from 28% in the quarter
ended September 27, 1996 to 55% in the quarter ended September 26, 1997,
limited sales growth as more of the homes manufactured by the Company were sold
through Company-owned retail superstores.  Second, net sales were impacted by
the increase in retail stock inventory as the number of Company-owned retail
superstores increased from 51 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to 63 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998.

      GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 16.7% to $40.2 million in the
quarter ended  September 26, 1997 compared to $34.5 million in the quarter
ended September 27, 1996.  During the same period, gross profit margin as a
percentage of net sales increased to 26.3% compared to 22.6%.  This increase
was primarily the result of selling 55% of the Company's homes through
Company-owned retail superstores in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 versus
28% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and production efficiencies at
maturing manufacturing facilities.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 12.7% to $27.1 million in the quarter ended
September 26, 1997 from $24.0 million in the quarter ended September 27, 1996,
primarily due to increased promotion and advertising expenditures as well as
start-up expenses for nine retail superstores and a manufacturing facility.  As
a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased, as planned, to 17.7%  in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from
15.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  This planned increase is due to
the growth in the Company's retail operations which, generally, have higher
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales as
compared to wholesale operations.

      INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the foregoing factors, income
from operations increased 26.1% to $13.1 million in the quarter ended September
26, 1997 compared to $10.4 million in the quarter ended September 27, 1996.

      INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased 34.7% to $1.13 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $.84 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in the floor plan
credit facilities.

      OTHER INCOME.  Other income increased 44.2% to $.64 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $.44 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
This increase was primarily the result of additional interest earned due to an
increase in the loan portfolio originated by CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd., the
Company's finance subsidiary.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27,
1996

      NET SALES.  Net sales increased 14.2% to $312.2 million in the six months
ended  September  26, 1997 from $273.5 million in the six months ended
September 27, 1996.  Of this





                                                                               7
<PAGE>   9
increase, 7.6% was due to the acquisition of the remaining 58.4% of Newco
following the first quarter of fiscal 1997 resulting in net sales from those
acquired retail superstores in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 not to have
comparable net sales from the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Although retail
sales increased 79% and wholesale sales increased 3%, consolidated net sales
increased only 14.2% due primarily to two factors. First, a rise in the
internalization rate from 21% in the six months ended September 27, 1996 to 54%
in the six months ended September 26, 1997 limited sales growth as more of the
homes manufactured by the Company were sold through Company-owned retail
superstores. Second, net sales were impacted by the increase in retail stock
inventory as the number of Company-owned retail superstores increased from 51 in
the six months ended September 27, 1996 to 63 in the six months ended September
26, 1997.

      GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 41.4% to $80.8 million in the six
months ended September 26, 1997 compared to $57.1 million in the six months
ended September 27, 1996.  During the same period, gross profit margin as a
percentage of net sales increased to 25.9% compared to 20.9%.  This increase
was primarily the result of selling 54% of the Company's homes through
Company-owned retail superstores in the six months ended September 26, 1997
versus 21% in the six months ended September 27, 1996 and production
efficiencies at maturing manufacturing facilities.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 37.8% to $54.6 million in the six months
ended September 26, 1997 from $39.7 million in the six months ended September
27, 1996, primarily due to operating expenses related to acquired superstores
and increased sales.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased, as planned, to 17.5% in the six months ended
September 26, 1997 from 14.5% in the six months ended September 27, 1996.  This
planned increase is due to the growth in the Company's retail operations which,
generally, have higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales as compared to wholesale operations.

      INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the foregoing factors, income
from operations increased 49.7% to $26.1 million in the six months ended
September 26, 1997 compared to $17.4 million in the six months ended September
27, 1996.

      INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased 78.9% to $2.2 million for
the six months ended September 26, 1997 from $1.2 million in the six months
ended September 27, 1996.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in
the floor plan credit facilities.

      OTHER INCOME.  Other income increased 43.2% to $1.16 million in the six
months ended September 26, 1997 from $.81 million in the six months ended
September 27, 1996.  This increase was primarily the result of additional
interest earned due to an increase in the loan portfolio originated by
CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd., the Company's finance subsidiary.

      INCOME FROM AFFILIATE.  Income from affiliate was $1.05 million in the
six months ended September 27, 1996 compared to zero in the six months ended
September 26, 1997.  The decrease was due to consolidating Newco's operating
results with the Company's operations beginning in the second quarter of fiscal
1997.  See "Acquisitions" in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.





                                                                               8

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  On July 11, 1997, the Company obtained
a  $25.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from a financial
institution for general corporate purposes.  The line of credit bears interest,
at the option of the Company (under certain conditions), at either the LIBOR
rate plus .625% or the prime rate minus 1%.  The line of credit contains
provisions regarding minimum net worth requirements and certain indebtedness
limitations which would limit the amount available for future borrowings.  The
line of credit also requires an annual commitment fee of $20,000 and is
available through July 10, 1999. There was no amount outstanding on this line
of credit at September 26, 1997.  The Company has floor plan credit facilities
totaling $67.0 million from financial institutions to finance a major portion
of its home inventory at the Company's retail superstores.  These facilities
are secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and cash in transit
from financial institutions.  Interest rates range from prime (8.5% at
September 26, 1997) to prime plus one-quarter percent.  The Company had $46.8
million and $45.3 million outstanding on these credit facilities at September
26, 1997 and March 28, 1997, respectively.

      The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with floor
plan financing and the revolving line of credit, will be adequate to support
its working capital and planned capital expenditure needs in the foreseeable
future.  The Company may, from time to time,  obtain additional floor plan
financing for its retail inventories.  Such practice is customary in the
industry.  However, because future cash flows and the availability of financing
will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing economic and financial
conditions, business and other factors beyond the Company's control, no
assurances can be given in this regard.

      FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION.  Certain statements contained in this report
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Management is unaware of any trends or conditions that could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, future results
of operations or liquidity.  However, investors should also be aware of factors
which could have a negative impact on prospects and the consistency of
progress.  These include political, economic or other factors such as inflation
rates, recessionary or expansive trends, taxes and regulations and laws
affecting the business in each of the Company's markets; competitive product,
advertising, promotional and pricing activity; dependence on the rate of
development and degree of acceptance of new product introductions in the
marketplace; and the difficulty of forecasting sales at certain times in
certain markets.

      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In February 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which will become effective in fiscal
1998.  SFAS No. 128 will eliminate the disclosure of primary earnings per share
which includes the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and other
convertible securities ("Common Stock Equivalents") and instead requires
reporting of "basic" earnings per share, which will exclude Common Stock
Equivalents.  Additionally, SFAS No. 128 changes the methodology for fully
diluted earnings per share.  In the opinion of the Company's management, it is
not anticipated that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have a
material effect on the reported earnings per share of the Company.
