1.       Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, which
         are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair and accurate

         accounting principles have been omitted. The condensed consolidated
         financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
         financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000. Results of
         operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
         results to be expected for a full year.

3.       Other Assets

         Other assets include goodwill of $67.7 million at June 30, 2000 and
         $67.6 million at March 31, 2000, with accumulated amortization of $11.8
         million and $10.8 million, respectively.

4.       Floor Plan Payable

         The Company has a floor plan credit facility totaling $175.0 million
         from a financial institution to finance a major portion of its home
         inventory at the Company's retail superstores. This facility is secured
         by a portion of the Company's home inventory and cash in transit from
         financial institutions. The interest rate on the facility is prime
         (9.50% at June 30, 2000). The agreement is effective until June 30,
         2001. The Company had $136.6 million and $138.6 million outstanding on
         this floor plan credit facility at June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000,
         respectively.

         The Company's floor plan financing agreement permits the Company to
         earn interest on investments made with the financial institution, which
         can be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions. The Company is
         eligible to invest up to fifty percent of the floor plan balance
         provided that the net of the floor plan balance and investment balance
         does not fall below $60.0 million. The interest rate on the outstanding
         borrowings is prime (9.50% at June 30, 2000). The Company had $47.0
         million invested at March 31, 2000 (none at June 30, 2000), and has
         classified this amount as Cash and Cash Equivalents in the accompanying
         Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


                                                                               4
<PAGE>   6


5.       Line of Credit

         The Company has 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 (6.64% at June 30, 2000) plus
         1.20% or the prime rate (9.50% at June 30, 2000) minus 1.0%. 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 is available through June 27,
         2001 and requires an annual commitment fee of up to $12,500. The
         Company had no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at June 30,
         2000 and March 31, 2000.

6.       Reclassification

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

7.       Business Segment Information

         The Company operates primarily in three business segments - retail,
         manufacturing and financial services. The following table summarizes
         information with respect to the Company's business segments for the
         periods ending June 30, 2000 and June 25, 1999 (in thousands):

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         Item 1. Financial Statements

                  See pages 1 through 5.

         Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                 Results of Operations

The Company continues to be affected by competitive market conditions in the
manufactured housing industry. The tightening of credit standards in mid-1999
along with increased interest rates has resulted in reduced retail sales levels,
declining wholesale shipments and declining margins for most industry
participants. The Company, however, has cash and cash equivalents of $64.2
million after investing over $19 million in the Company's common stock buyback
program and virtually no long-term debt. In addition, the Company continues to
control inventory levels with the average new home inventory per retail
superstore averaging $811,000 per location in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
compared to an average of $906,000 per location in the first quarter of fiscal
2000. It is unclear what impact these competitive industry conditions will have
on the Company's future results.

The following table sets forth certain items of the Company's statements of
income as a percentage of net sales for the period indicated.

(1)      The internalization rate is the percentage of new homes that are

         superstores.


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 25, 1999

         NET SALES. Net sales decreased 13.0% to $190.1 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 from $218.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
The decrease in net sales was primarily due to competitive conditions in the
manufactured housing industry as indicated by a decrease of 13% in the volume of
homes sold through company-owned superstores while overall unit volume, which
includes sales to independent retailers, declined 23% in the current quarter.
The number of superstores increased from 126 at the end of the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 to 136 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased 12.3% to $59.2 million which is
consistent with the 13.0% decrease in net sales caused by competitive conditions
in the manufactured housing industry. In the quarter ended June 30, 2000, gross
profit margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.1% compared to 30.9%
in the quarter ended June 25, 1999. This increase was the result of production
efficiencies at our manufacturing facilities and selling 82% of the Company's
homes through Company-owned retail superstores in the first quarter of fiscal
2001 versus 71% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 4.5% from $47.1 million in the quarter ended
June 25, 1999 to $45.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, primarily due
to the Company's continued focus on reducing fixed expenses company-wide
somewhat offset by a commitment to building brand awareness via advertising and
expenses associated with the 10 additional retail superstores. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as
planned, to 23.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 21.6% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. This 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.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased 25.7% to $3.0 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $2.4 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 primarily due to an increase in the prime interest rate from 7.75%
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to 9.50% in the first quarter of fiscal
2001.


                                                                               7
<PAGE>   9


         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company has a floor plan credit
facility totaling $175.0 million with Conseco Finance, a subsidiary of Conseco,
Inc., to finance a major portion of its home inventory at the Company's retail
superstores. This facility is secured by a portion of the Company's home
inventory and cash in transit from financial institutions. The interest rate on
the facility is prime (9.50% at June 30, 2000). The agreement is effective until
June 30, 2001. The Company's floor plan financing agreement permits the Company
to earn interest on investments made with the financial institution, which can
be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions. The Company is eligible to invest
up to fifty percent of the floor plan balance provided that the net of the floor
plan balance and investment balance does not fall below $60.0 million. In March
2000, Conseco, Inc. announced that they would be selling Conseco Finance and
that they anticipated the disposition would be complete by the end of calendar
year 2000. It is unclear what impact this will have on the Company.

         The Company has 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 (6.64% at June 30, 2000) plus 1.20% or the prime rate (9.50% at June
30, 2000) minus 1.0%. 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 is available through June
27, 2001 and requires an annual commitment fee of up to $12,500. The Company had
$0 outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000.

         Through CountryPlace Mortgage, the Company's finance subsidiary, the
Company assigns approved loan contracts to one of three national finance
companies, primarily Associates Housing Finance. In January 2000, the Associates
announced that they would be discontinuing retail and floor plan financing for
the manufactured housing industry. The Company does however have a contract
through March 31, 2002 with the Associates and they have committed to providing
consumer financing to the Company throughout the duration of the contract. It is
unclear what impact this will have on the Company.

         In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to
certain business and market conditions, the use of up to $20.0 million to
repurchase the Company's common stock. In July 2000, the Board of Directors
authorized another $20.0 million for common stock repurchases. As of the date of
this filing, the Company had invested $19.8 million in the common stock buyback
program.

         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, currently planned capital expenditure needs and
potential future share repurchases 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
quarterly report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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 be aware that all forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties and, as a result of certain factors, actual
results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such
statements. These risks include political, economic or other factors such as
inflation rates, employment conditions, interest 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; inclement or catastrophic weather conditions affecting
revenues, inventory levels and insurance reserves; trends to consolidate the
number of production facilities; and management's ability to anticipate
acceptance of new products in the marketplace and to forecast sales and profits
at certain times in certain markets.
