No shares of preferred stock have been issued. The company also had 4,500,644 warrants to purchase common stock which expired on December 21, 2000.

    The company has a stock option plan which allows officers, directors and key employees of the company to receive non-qualified and incentive stock options. The company did not award any stock options to directors and officers during the quarter ended December 31, 2000. There were options for 260,000 shares of stock available for grant at December 31, 2000.

NOTE E—SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

    The Company operates in two business segments: Axles and Tire Reconditioning and Housing Accessories. These segments have been determined by evaluating the Company's internal reporting

6

structure and nature of products offered. Investment Real Property was previously reported as a segment but is now a non-operating part of the business due to the low level of sales and management's intent to discontinue these activities when current property is sold.

    Axles and Tire Reconditioning: The Company provides reconditioned axles and tires to manufactured housing factories.

    Housing Accessories: The Company provides skirting, siding, and other aftermarket accessories to manufactured housing dealers and contractors.

	Axle & Tire Reconditioning		Housing Accessories		Total
Three months ended Dec 31, 2000
Operating revenue	3,880		1,636		5,516
Operating income (loss)	(296	)	(89	)	(385	)
Depreciation	121		39		160
Three months ended Dec 31, 1999
Operating revenue	4,387		1,922		6,309
Operating income (loss)	(345	)	(266	)	(611	)
Depreciation	158		50		208

    The Company does not assign interest income, interest expense, other expenses or income taxes to operating segments. Identifiable assets and related capital expenditures are assigned to operating locations rather than operating segments, with depreciation allocated to the segments based upon usage.

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

    All period references are to the three month period ended December 30, 2000 and 1999, unless otherwise indicated. Quarterly financial results may not be indicative of the financial results for any future period. This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on management's current expectations. The Company has identified risk factors which could cause actual results to differ substantially from the forward looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, availability of financing, real estate values, competitive pressure on both the purchasing of used axles and tires from manufactured housing dealers and the selling of refurbished axles and tires to manufactured housing factories, adverse weather conditions, the economic viability of our customers and vendors, changes in legislation or regulations, and availability of qualified employees.

    The following table sets forth the operating data of the company as a percentage of net sales for the periods listed below:

	Three Months Ended
	Dec 30, 2000		Dec 30, 1999
Axle and tire reconditioning	70.3	%	69.5	%
Manufactured housing accessories and siding	29.7		30.5
Gross margin	16.2		15.9
Selling expense	16.4		17.7
Administrative expense	6.8		7.9
Interest expense	0.7		0.5
Interest income	0.4		0.3
Investment property income	0.9		2.3
Other income (expense)	0.1		0.0

    Sales were $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000 compared to $6.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit was $892,000 compared to $1,004,000 for the same quarter in 1999. Gross margin for the quarter was 16.2 percent compared to 15.9 percent for the same period a year ago.

    The manufactured housing industry continues to experience an overabundance of new and used homes due in part to overproduction as well as a decrease in consumer demand due to a tightening of credit requirements. Manufactured housing production facilities as well as numerous sales centers have closed and/or filed for bankruptcy. In the Company's market area the decrease in manufactured housing production from the quarter ended December 31, 1999 to the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was approximately 26% according to statistics from the National Conference of States on building Codes and Standards. The decrease in manufactured housing production has also resulted in an relative excess supply of axles and tires. At December 31, 2000 the Company still has a significant amount of inventory purchased at prices higher than current market acquisition prices. Based on current sales prices the company expects to show limited profit margin on sales of the higher priced inventory.

    On January 11, 2001 American Homestar Corp (Homestar) filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Information is not yet available on the recovery, if any, that the Company will be able to collect of the $72,000 in receivables that was due from Homestar. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000 the Company wrote off $65,000 of the $72,000 that was due from Homestar. Homestar represented approximately 4% of the Company's sales.

    Due to the losses at the Company's Colorado plant, management has decided to scale back activities at the plant to those necessary to service the plants two main customers. Less than ten employees are expected to remain after the shutdown is completed on February 16, 2001. The Colorado plant had losses of $135,000 and $93,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company expects sales to decrease approximately $350,000 annually due to the shutdown.

    Selling and general administrative expenses decreased $338,000 during the quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily as a result of decreased payroll costs of $289,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Historically, the company's principal sources of liquidity have been retained earnings from operations as well as borrowings under a revolving line of credit with a bank. The company has a $3,000,000 maximum bank line of credit secured by designated percentages of eligible accounts

8

receivable and inventories which expires June 30, 2001. The credit line bears interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 3.25 percent. The Company has not met the various restrictive covenants attached to the revolving credit line and has obtained waivers for the noncompliance through December 31, 2000.

    Authorized stock of the company consists of 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. No shares of preferred stock have been issued. The company also had 4,500,644 warrants to purchase common stock which expired on December 21, 2000.
