                             PALM HARBOR HOMES, INC.

              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 28, 1997. Results of operations for
         any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be
         expected for a full year.

2.       Acquisitions
         On August 1, 1996, the Company acquired an additional 58.4% of Newco
         Homes, Inc. ("Newco"), a Texas-based retailer of manufactured homes.
         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 shares
         of the Company's common stock. Prior to the acquisition of the
         remaining 58.4% of Newco, the Company recorded its 41.6% equity
         interest in the net earnings of Newco as income from affiliate.

         On December 15, 1997, the Company acquired Sun City Homes, a
         privately-owned, Las Vegas-based operator of four retail manufactured
         home centers.

3.       Stock Dividend
         On June 24, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
         5-for-4 stock split effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend to
         shareholders of record on July 8, 1997. The stock dividend was paid on
         July 21, 1997. Historical common share and per share data for all
         periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

4.       Inventories
         Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

5.       Other Assets
         Other assets include goodwill of $29.3 million at December 26, 1997 and
         $28.7 at March 28, 1997, with accumulated amortization of $2.4 million
         and $1.3 million, respectively.

6.       Floor Plan Payable
         The Company has floor plan credit facilities totaling $75.0 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 December 26, 1997) to prime plus one-quarter percent. The
         Company had $51.0 million and $45.3 million outstanding on these credit
         facilities at December 26, 1997 and March 28, 1997, respectively.

7.       Line of Credit
         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 December 26, 1997.

8.       Reclassification
         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         current period presentation.

9.       Earnings Per Share
         During fiscal year 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128) "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128
         replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
         share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary
         earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive
         effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted
         earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully
         diluted earnings per share. The adoption of SFAS 128 did not result in
         a change to the reported earnings per share of the Company.

         In computing both basic and diluted earnings per share, the same net
         income and number of weighted average shares were used. There was no
         dilutive effect assuming conversion of the Company's outstanding stock
         warrants as the effect on the Company's number of weighted shares
         outstanding was not significant. Accordingly, both basic and dilutive
         earnings per share are identical and are reported as the Company's
         earnings per common share.




                                                                               5

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

       NET SALES. Net sales increased 7.4% to $162.0 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $150.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Although retail sales increased 27% and wholesale sales increased 7%,
consolidated net sales increased only 7.4% due primarily to two factors. First,
a rise in the internalization rate, from 33% in the quarter ended December 27,
1996 to 50% in the quarter ended December 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 52 in
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to 72 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

       GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 29.2% to $43.1 million in the
quarter ended December 26, 1997 compared to $33.4 million in the quarter ended
December 27, 1996. During the same period, gross profit margin as a percentage
of net sales increased to 26.6% compared to 22.1%. This increase was the result
of selling 50% of the Company's homes through Company-owned retail superstores
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 versus 33% in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 and production efficiencies at manufacturing facilities.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 29.3% to $30.1 million in the quarter ended
December 26, 1997 from $23.3 million in the quarter ended December 27, 1996,
primarily due to increased promotion and advertising expenditures, expenses
associated with the 20 additional retail superstores, and performance based
compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased, as planned, to 18.6% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 from 15.4% in the



                                                                               7

third 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 28.9% to $13.0 million in the quarter ended December 26,
1997 compared to $10.1 million in the quarter ended December 27, 1996.

       INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased 27.1% to $1.12 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 1998 from $0.88 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the floor plan
credit facilities.

       OTHER INCOME. Other income increased 2.5% to $0.74 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $0.72 million in the third 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, offset by a decrease in the amount of cash used
for interest-earning investments.


NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27,
1996

       NET SALES. Net sales increased 11.8% to 474.2 million in the nine months
ended December 26, 1997 from $424.2 million in the nine months ended December
27, 1996. Although retail sales increased 57% and wholesale sales increased 4%,
consolidated net sales increased only 11.8% due primarily to two factors. First,
a rise in the internalization rate, from 29% in the nine months ended December
27, 1996 to 52% in the nine months ended December 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
52 in the nine months ended December 27, 1996 to 72 in the nine months ended
December 26, 1997.

       GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 36.9% to $123.9 million in the nine
months ended December 26, 1997 compared to $90.5 million in the nine months
ended December 27, 1996. During the same period, gross profit margin as a
percentage of net sales increased to 26.1% compared to 21.3%. This increase was
primarily the result of selling 52% of the Company's homes through Company-owned
retail superstores in the nine months ended December 26, 1997 versus 29% in the
nine months ended December 27, 1996 and production efficiencies at manufacturing
facilities.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 34.7% to $84.7 million in the nine months
ended December 26, 1997 from $62.9 million in the nine months ended December 27,
1996, primarily due to increased promotion and advertising expenditures,
expenses associated with the 20 additional retail superstores, and performance
based compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased, as planned, to 17.9% in the nine months ended
December 26, 1997 from 14.8% in the nine months ended December 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 42.0% to $39.1 million in the nine months ended December
26, 1997 compared to $27.6 million in the nine months ended December 27, 1996.

       INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased 57.1% to $3.3 million for
the nine months ended December 26, 1997 from $2.1 million in the nine months
ended December 27, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the
floor plan credit facilities.

       OTHER INCOME. Other income increased 24.0% to $1.9 million in the nine
months ended December 26, 1997 from $1.5 million in the nine months ended
December 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
nine months ended December 27, 1996 compared to zero in the nine months ended
December 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.

       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 December 26,
1997. The Company has floor plan credit facilities totaling $75.0 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 December 26, 1997) to prime plus
one-quarter percent. The Company had $51.0 million and $45.3 million outstanding
on these credit facilities at December 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.
