Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position,
growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s common stock and other
matters. Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor
provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act. Forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation those relating to our future business prospects, revenues and income, wherever they occur in this presentation, are necessarily
estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management, at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company
does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking
statements are made. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set
forth in this presentation and the Company’s SEC filings.
There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include pricing pressures due to competition, costs and
availability of raw materials (particularly steel and related components, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin), availability of retail and
wholesale financing for manufactured homes, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, availability and costs of labor,
inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed manufactured homes, the financial condition of our customers,
retention of significant customers, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the outcome of litigation, and adverse weather conditions
impacting retail sales. In addition, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence may affect the retail sale of
recreational vehicles and manufactured homes.

MH: Industry Trends
Low inventory levels at retail dealers
Slowing of repossessions
Conventional financing now more common
than chattel financing
Improved industry lending practices should
lead to fewer repossessions
