              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

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 29, 1996.  Results of operations for any interim period are not
       necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.


2.     Acquisitions

       On April 12, 1996, the Company acquired Energy Efficient Housing, Inc.,
       a retailer consisting of eight superstores in North Carolina, for a

       of the Company's common stock (after giving effect of the stock dividend
       below).  Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 58.4% of Newco, the

</TABLE>


THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
29, 1995

      NET SALES.  Net sales increased 43.7% to $150.8 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $105.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Of this increase, 30.2% was a result of the acquisition of the remaining 58.4%
of Newco.  The 43.7% increase in net sales reflects an 18.2% increase in the
volume of homes sold and a 25.5% increase in the number of the Company's homes
sold through Company-owned retail superstores.  In addition to the Company's
acquisitions, the increase in volume and retail sales of the Company's homes
through Company-owned superstores resulted from the opening of new retail
superstores and an increase in production at manufacturing facilities.

      GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 88.8% to $33.4 million in the
quarter ended December 27, 1996 compared to $17.7 million in the quarter ended
December 29, 1995.  During the same period, gross profit margin as a percentage
of net sales increased to 22.1% compared to 16.9%.  This increase was primarily
the result of selling 33% of the Company's homes through Company-owned retail
superstores in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 versus  7% in the third quarter
of fiscal 1996.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 77.6% to $23.3 million in the quarter ended
December 27, 1996 from $13.1 million in the quarter ended December 29, 1995,
primarily due to operating expenses related to acquired superstores and
increased sales.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 15.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997
from 12.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  Of the 2.9% increase,
approximately 1.7% was related to performance compensation based on operating
results at acquired superstores.





                                                                              7
<PAGE>   9
      INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the foregoing factors, income
from operations increased 120.8% to $10.1 million in the quarter ended December
27, 1996 compared to $4.6 million in the quarter ended December 29, 1995.

      INCOME FROM AFFILIATE.  Income from affiliate was $0.76 million in the
quarter ended December 29, 1995 compared to $0.0 in the quarter ended December
27, 1996.  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.


NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29,
1995

      NET SALES.  Net sales increased 38.2% to $424.2 million in the nine
months ended December 27, 1996 from $307.0 million in the nine months ended
December 29, 1995.  Of this increase, 21.1% was a result of the acquisition of
the remaining 58.4% of Newco.  The 38.2% increase in net sales reflects an
18.9% increase in the volume of homes sold and a 24.9% increase in the number
of the Company's homes sold through Company-owned retail superstores.  In
addition to the Company's acquisitions, the increase in volume and retail sales
of the Company's homes through Company-owned superstores resulted from the
opening of new retail superstores and an increase in production at
manufacturing facilities.

      GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 76.5% to $90.5 million in the nine
months ended December 27, 1996 compared to $51.3 million in the nine months
ended December 29, 1995. During the same period, gross profit margin as a
percentage of sales increased to 21.3% from 16.7%.  This increase was primarily
the result of selling 33% of the Company's homes through Company-owned retail
superstores in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 versus 8% in the first nine
months of fiscal 1996.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 68.6% to $64.0 million in the nine months
ended December 27, 1996 from $38.0 million in the nine months ended December
29, 1995, primarily due to operating expenses related to the acquired
superstores, increased sales and start-up expenses for a new manufacturing
facility.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased  to 15.1% in the nine months ended December 27, 1996 from
12.4% in the nine months ended December 29, 1995.  Of the 2.7% increase,
approximately 1.6% was related to performance compensation based on operating
results at acquired superstores.

      INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the foregoing factors, income
from operations increased 98.8% to $26.5 million in the nine months ended
December 27, 1996 compared to $13.3 million in the nine months ended December
29, 1995.

      INCOME FROM AFFILIATE.  Income from affiliate decreased 56.9% to $1.0
million in the nine months ended December 27, 1996 from $2.4 million in the
nine months ended December 29, 1995.  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
<PAGE>   10
      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The Company has revolving lines of
credit totaling $67.5 million from financial institutions, with interest rates
ranging from prime to prime plus one percent, for floor planning of homes at
the Company's retail superstores.  The Company had $38.7 million outstanding on
these lines of credit as of December 27, 1996 compared to $3.4 million at March
29, 1996.

      The Company believes that cash flow from operations and floor plan
financing will be adequate to support its working capital and planned capital
expenditures in the foreseeable future.  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.
