BELMONT HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In June 1993 Belmont Homes, Inc. ("Belmont"), which was 43% owned by
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 October 1996 Belmont acquired, in a transaction accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting, all the outstanding common stock of Bellcrest
Homes, Inc. ("Bellcrest") for $9,500 of cash plus future contingent payments of
$3,500 if certain earnings levels are achieved through December 31, 1998. In
March 1997 the Company paid the former shareholders of Bellcrest $1,000 the
amount of contingent payments earned and accrued for in 1996.
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

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996
Industry conditions in the Company's market territory remained
competitive due to an increase in the number of dealers (retailers) and
manufacturing plants in, or selling to, the Company's market territory. In
response, the Company re-aligned its manufacturing operations at the end of
the second quarter, idling one plant each at its Belmont and Spirit plant
clusters and closing a leased plant at Spirit which was rented on a month-to-
month basis. There was no severance paid as a result of this re-alignment and
the Company charged to expense all costs related for this action which consisted
primarily of $299 thousand for the write off of leasehold improvements at the
closed plant. The two idled plants may be reopened as market conditions improve.
Gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 deceased by
1% to $56.9 million from $57.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996 due to a $14.5 million decline in gross sales at the Company's Belmont and
Spirit operations. These sales declines were off set in part by the contribution
of the Company's Bellcrest Homes subsidiary which was acquired during the fourth
quarter of 1996. The number of homes sold during the quarter decreased 10% to
2,477 homes from 2,741 in the third quarter of 1996. Multi-sectional homes
increased to 38.2% of homes sold during the third quarter of 1997 from 22.9% in
the same quarter of 1996 due primarily to sales at Bellcrest Homes whose
multi-sectional mix was 73% for the quarter. The average price of a home sold
increased 14.2% to $22,984 in the third quarter of 1997 from $20,982 in 1996
due, in part, to the higher mix of multi-sectional homes sold by the Company
during the quarter.
Dealer rebates for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased
76% to $2.4 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996 due to increases in existing dealer rebate programs and to the inclusion
of Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Belmont's management believes the number of dealers and manufacturers in its
market territory has increased and expects these higher rebate allowances to
continue.
Cost of sales includes costs of raw materials, direct labor, service
and warranty expense, insurance and payroll taxes. Cost of sales during the
third quarter of 1997 increased 1% to $49 million from $48.6 million for the
third quarter of 1996. Cost of raw materials and direct labor, which are two of
the largest components of cost of sales, were $34.7 million and $7.3 million,
respectively, for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $37 million and $6.7
million, respectively, for the third quarter of 1996. The $2.3 million decrease
in raw materials is due primarily to the higher mix of multi-section homes
during the quarter which as a percentage of sales value have a lower material
content. The $.6 million increase in direct labor is due primarily to higher
labor at operations where plants were idled and closed as these operations
adjusted to new mixes of homes and shorter production runs. As a percentage of
gross sales, cost of sales for the third quarter of 1997 increased to 86.1% from
84.6% in the third quarter of 1996, due to (i) the $.6 million increase in
direct labor, (ii) a $.7 million increase in supervisory salaries to $1.7
million for the third quarter of 1997 from $1.0 million in the third quarter of
1996 of which $.5 million is due to increased incentive compensation including a
$.2 million payment to the estate of the Company's former President and CEO who
died in May 1997, and (iii) a $1 million increase in service and warranty to
$2.5 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $1.5 million in the third quarter
of 1996 of which $.2 million pertains to the Company's Spirit operations which
continues to experience increasing levels of warranty service, a $.2 million
increase in the warranty accrual in response to the continuing higher service at
Spirit and the inclusion of Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

<PAGE> 8
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
1997 increased 70% to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $2.3
million in the third quarter of 1996. As a percentage of gross sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to 6.9% for the third quarter of
1997 from 4% for the third quarter of 1996 due primarily to increases in selling
and administrative salaries and commissions and the inclusion of Bellcrest Homes
which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996
Gross sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased 5%
to $179.6 million from $170.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 due to the acquisition of Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the
fourth quarter of 1996. The number of homes sold decreased 2% to 8,020 in 1997
from 8,198 in 1996. Multi-section homes increased to 34.7% of homes sold during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 24% in the prior year period due
to the higher such mix of homes at Bellcrest Homes whose multi-section mix was
68% in 1997. The average price of a home sold increased 6.7% to $22,391 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $20,815 for the comparable period in
the prior year due in part to the higher mix of multi-section homes.
Dealer rebates for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased
92% to $7.5 million from $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 due to increase in existing dealer rebate programs and to the inclusion
of Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Belmont's management believes the number of dealers and manufacturers in its
market territory has increased and expects these higher rebate allowances to
continue.
Costs of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased
7.3% to $154.9 million from $144.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. Costs of raw materials and direct labor increased to $112.1 million
and $21.9 million, respectively, in 1997 from $108.6 million and $19.8 million,
respectively, in 1996 primarily as a result of increased sales volume and in
addition, for direct labor, for increases due to higher labor for the Company's
operations which idled and closed plants at the end of the second quarter due to
reduced orders. As a percentage of gross sales, cost of sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 increased to 86.2% from 84.6% due primarily to
(i) increased direct labor, (ii) a $1.5 million increase in salaries and wages
to $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.5
million for the comparable period of the prior year due in part to the inclusion
of Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996 and
(iii) a $1.1 million increase in warranty costs to $6.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.6 million in the comparable period of
the prior year due to increases in warranty as a result of the inclusion of
Bellcrest Homes in 1997 and to an approximate $.5 million increase at the
Company's Spirit Homes operations. These increases as a percent of gross sales
were off set in part by a decrease in raw materials to 62.4% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from 63.6% for the prior year period due primarily to
the higher mix of multi-sectional homes which have a lower raw material content
as a percent of gross sales value.
Page 8
<PAGE> 9
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased 50% to $11.1 million from $7.4 million in the
comparable period of the prior year. As a percentage of gross sales, selling,
general and administrative expense increased to 6.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as a
result of a $1.3 million increase in selling and administrative salaries and
commissions to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$4.5 million for the comparable period of the prior year and to the inclusion of
Bellcrest Homes which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $432
thousand compared to $75 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
due primarily to additional borrowings supporting the Bellcrest acquisition
during the fourth quarter of 1996. In September 1997 the Company paid off all
outstanding borrowings.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2.4 million or an effective tax rate of 31.5% compared to $5.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 or an effective tax rate of 38%. The
differences in these effective rates is primarily attributable to the receipt
during the second quarter of 1997 of $1.5 million of Officer Life Insurance
which is non-taxable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and equivalents including certificates of deposit were $13.1
million at September 30, 1997 compared to $13.3 million at year end December 31,
1996.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $10.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 due in part to a $1.2 million increase in
depreciation and amortization (including the write off of leasehold improvements
at the closed Spirit plant) to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $1.2 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Accounts
receivable are funded by approved dealer floor-plan financing and usually are
collected within 15 days, except in periods when extended terms are granted to
promote sales. All homes are 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $4.8
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Expenditures during
1996 were primarily for the addition of
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
two plants at Spirit Homes. In addition, during 1996 the Company utilized $2.5
million for investment in two raw material supply joint ventures which produce
passage doors, paneling and cabinet doors.
The Company's financing activities used $10.4 million in cash for the
repayment of all short and long-term debt during the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared with providing $3.7 million during the comparable period of
the prior year. In January 1996 the Company raised approximately $11.7 million
in net cash proceeds from the secondary sale of stock to the public and used
$10.9 million of these proceeds to retire outstanding debt.
The Company's backlog at September 30, 1997 was $12.8 million for 774
floors compared to $23.5 million for 1,485 floors at September 30, 1996.
The Company plans to continue its current growth strategy of acquiring
or constructing new production 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.
Certain forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q (including, without limitation, statements regarding the growth and
financing strategies of the Company, projections of revenues, income, earnings
per share or other financial items) involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future
