shareholders of BHI, Inc. (Predecessor) and 57% owned by new investors, acquired
through the issuance of debt and equity securities, substantially all of the
assets and liabilities of Predecessor for a purchase price of $15,541. This
transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting including
the computational guidelines contained in EITF Issue No. 88-16.

        In August 1995 Belmont incorporated Delta Homes, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary and purchased for $450 a production facility in Clarksdale,
Mississippi.

        In October 1995 Belmont acquired, in a transaction accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting, all the outstanding common stock of Spirit
Homes, Inc. ("Spirit") for $9,800 of cash and debt.

        In January 1996 the Company completed the sale of 800 shares of its
common stock raising net proceeds of approximately $11,800 which were used to
retire substantially all long-term debt.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Belmont Homes, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from incorporation or
acquisition date (collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared without
audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and 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 Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the
interim periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for
the three month period are not indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996 or any other interim

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared To Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

        Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased by 104%
to $51.4 million from $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
The number of homes sold during the quarter increased 87% to 2,486 homes from
1,333 in the first quarter of 1995. Of this increase, 65% resulted from the
sale of homes at Spirit which was acquired by the Company in





                                     Page 6
<PAGE>   7
October 1995 with the balance due to the addition of the Company's fourth and
fifth plants in March and August 1995, respectively. Multi-sectional homes
increased to 23% of homes sold during the first quarter of 1996 from 17.8% in
the same quarter of 1995. The average price of a home sold increased 9.1% to
$20,690 in 1996 from $18,960 in 1995 due, in part, to the higher mix of
multi-sectional homes and the higher price for the Spirit single-section homes.

        Cost of sales includes costs of raw materials, direct labor, service
and warranty expense, insurance and payroll taxes. Cost of sales during the
first quarter of 1996 increased 102% to $43.4 million from $21.4 million for
the first quarter of 1995. Cost of raw materials and direct labor, which are
two of the largest components of cost of sales, increased to $33.0 million and
$5.6 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 1996 from $17.0 million
and $2.4 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 1995 primarily as a
result of increased sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
for the first quarter of 1996 decreased to 84.4% from 84.9% in the first
quarter of 1995, due to decreases in material costs which were offset in part
by increased direct labor and warranty costs.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
1996 increased by 128% to $3.8 million from $1.7 million in the first quarter
of 1995. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expense increased to 7.4% for the first quarter of 1996 from 6.6% for the first
quarter of 1995 as a result of higher selling and promotional costs, due in
part to the higher percentage of such costs for sales at Spirit Homes, and to
higher legal and professional costs associated with the Company's continuing
acquisition program.

        Net interest income was $63 thousand for the first quarter of 1996
compared with net interest expense of $223 thousand for the first quarter of
1995. In January 1996 the Company used a portion of the net proceeds of a
secondary public offering of stock to retire $10.9 million of interest bearing
debt.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

        Cash and equivalents including certificates of deposit were $10.3
million at March 31, 1996 compared to $8.8 million at year end December 31,
1995.

        In January 1996 the Company raised approximately $11.8 million in net
cash proceeds from the secondary sale of 800 thousand shares of stock to the
public. Approximately $10.9 million of these proceeds were used to retire all
but $623 thousand of interest bearing debt.  As a result of these transactions,
net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 1996 was
$859 thousand compared with a $135 thousand use of cash during the first
quarter of 1995.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million for the
first quarter of 1996 compared to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.
Accounts receivable are funded by approved dealer floor-plan financing and
usually are collected within 15 days. All homes are





                                     Page 7
<PAGE>   8
manufactured against orders, and currently, no homes are produced for
inventory.

        The Company utilized $1.2 million for the purchase of property, plant
and equipment during the first quarter of 1996 compared with $1.6 million
during the first quarter of 1995. Expenditures during 1996 were for the
addition of two plants at Spirit Homes while the expenditures in 1995 were for
the completion of the Company's fourth plant at Belmont.

        The Company plans to continue its current growth strategy of acquiring
or constructing new manufacturing facilities when necessitated by consumer
demand. In order to provide any additional funds necessary for the continued
pursuit of this growth strategy, the Company may incur, from time to time,
additional short- and long-term bank indebtedness, including mortgage loans and
industrial revenue bond financing, and may issue, in public or private
transactions, equity and debt securities, the availability and terms of which
will depend upon market and other conditions.

        The Company's backlog at March 31, 1996 was approximately $29 million
compared to $17.6 million at March 31, 1995. The Company considers its order
backlog to be firm orders and has had limited cancellation experience to date.
