Such financial statements have been reviewed by Arthur Andersen LLP in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As indicated in their report included herein, Arthur Andersen LLP does not express an opinion on these statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the Company's opinion, the statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods ending October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995 and the balances as of October 27, 1996 and April 28, 1996. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the board of directors and shareholders of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.: We have made a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of October 27, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the twenty-six week period ended October 27, 1996. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to the financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 28, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) and, in our report dated June 25, 1996 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 28, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Amounts in thousands) The following is an analysis of changes in key items included in the consolidated statements of income for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended October 27, 1996. The amounts shown below apply only to continuing operations. Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-six Weeks Ended October 27, 1996 October 27, 1996 Increase % Increase % (Decrease) Change (Decrease) Change Sales $41,694 5.9% $88,222 6.2% Cost of products sold 35,832 6.3 67,842 5.9 ------- --- ------- --- Gross profit 5,862 4.3 20,380 7.6 Selling expenses (4,319) (8.9) (9,366) (9.7) General and administrative expenses 1,983 3.7 9,044 8.6 ------- --- ------- --- Operating expenses (2,336) (2.3) (322) (.2) ------- --- ------- --- Operating income 8,198 25.0 20,702 31.9 Other income (expense) (2,617) (64.4) (596) (10.0) Income before taxes 5,581 15.2 20,106 28.4 Provision for income taxes 1,457 9.6 6,969 24.1 Net income $3,933 18.0% $12,859 30.4% ------ ---- ------- --- ----- ---- ------- --- Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year Net income rose 7 percent to a second quarter record of $25,772,000 or 68 cents per share compared to $24,011,000 and 52 cents per share a year ago. Last year's second quarter included income from discontinued operations of $2,172,000 or 5 cents per share. Earnings per share in the current year benefited from fewer outstanding shares resulting from significant share repurchases over the past few months. Income from continuing operations for the 13 weeks ended October 27,1996 was up 18 percent on a 6 percent increase in revenues. Earnings per share from continuing operations was 45 percent ahead of last year's similar period on the reduced number of shares. The improvement in second quarter and first half earnings from continuing operations was largely driven by a dramatic improvement in the Company's recreational vehicle business. A sharp increase in motor home sales and profits led to the favorable RV results. Consolidated revenues rose 6 percent to a record $748.8 million in the second quarter, up from $707.1 million a year ago, as a result of the stronger motor home sales. Prior year revenues have been restated to exclude finance revenues from the discontinued finance operation. Recreational vehicle revenues for the 13 weeks were $348.8 million, 13 percent ahead of last year's $309.3 million. Last year's RV revenues included $12.7 million in sales from the Company's European operation which was sold in May 1996. Motor home revenues of $215.8 million were 33 percent ahead of last year's second quarter on a 16 percent gain in unit volume to 3,521 motor homes. Towable RV products did not fare as well, however. Travel trailer revenues eased 1 percent to $111 million as unit volume declined 7 percent to 7,889. Folding trailer sales were off 3 percent to $22.0 million on a 12 percent decline in units to 4,763. Recreational vehicle sales accounted for 47 percent of total Company revenues, up from 44 percent last year. Manufactured housing revenues for the quarter were $385.5 million, virtually identical to last year's record second quarter. The housing group sold 17,748 homes in the quarter which was 3 percent below last year's similar period. Due to a heavier mix of multi-section homes, floors shipped were virtually identical to last year's record second quarter. Housing group sales represented 51 percent of total Company revenues, down from 55 percent in last year's second quarter. Gross profit dropped as a percentage of sales from 19.2 percent to 18.9 percent as lower manufactured housing margins more than offset improved RV margins. Housing margins were impacted by start-up costs at two new plant facilities while RV margins benefited from a more favorable sales mix. Operating expenses of $100.6 million were 2 percent below last year's similar period, while declining as a percentage of sales from 14.6 percent to 13.4 percent. Selling expenses dropped 9 percent to $44.5 million primarily reflecting lower RV costs for sales promotion and product financing subsidies. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses declined from 6.9 percent to 5.9 percent. General and administrative expenses rose 4 percent to $56.1 million, but decreased as a percentage of sales from 7.7 percent to 7.5 percent. None of the administrative cost increases were individually significant. Non-operating income of $1.4 million was 64 percent below the $4.1 million earned last year due to lower investment income and higher interest expense. Lower invested balances and reduced rates of return led to the investment income decline. Interest expense in the current period was primarily related to long-term debt, which the Company did not have a year ago. Last year's interest expense in the second quarter was more than offset by a cumulative adjustment to reclassify interest charges related to non- qualified employee benefit plans. The effective income tax rate declined to 39.2 percent in the second quarter from 41.2 percent a year ago. The decline in the tax rate is mainly attributable to the elimination of the German RV operation which last year was generating operating losses with no tax benefits. Current Year-To-Date Compared to Same Period Last Year Net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 1997 were up 92 percent to $89,882,000 compared to $46,809,000 for last year's first half. Included in current year earnings is an after-tax gain of $33,891,000 on the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp., the Company's RV finance subsidiary. First half earnings also include $887,000 or 2 cents per share for one month of operations from the discontinued finance operation. With the reduction in outstanding shares, earnings per share more than doubled to $2.15 versus $1.01 in the prior year. Income from continuing operations in the first half surged 30 percent to a record $55,104,000, up from $42,245,000 a year ago. Per share earnings from continuing operations jumped an even greater 45 percent from 91 cents to $1.32 on the fewer outstanding shares. First half revenues climbed 6 percent to a new high of $1.50 billion compared to $1.41 billion in last year's similar period. Prior year revenues have been restated to exclude finance revenues from the discontinued finance operation. As previously discussed, revenue gains were primarily the result of stronger motor home sales. Six month RV revenues were $706.7 million, 10 percent higher than last year's $641.6 million, which included $31.0 million of European sales. This primarily reflects the strength of motor home sales which were up 33 percent to $439.7 million on a 19 percent volume increase to 7,695 units. Travel trailer sales were lower, falling 3 percent to $227.9 million, as shipments dropped 7 percent to 16,726 units. Folding trailer sales were off from last year's record pace, falling 12 percent to $39.1 million. Folding trailer unit volume fell 23 percent to 8,287 units shipped. As a percentage of total Company revenues, RV revenues increased from 45 percent last year to 47 percent in the current year. Housing revenues for the first six months reached an all-time high of $762.6 million, 2 percent ahead of last year's similar period. Unit shipments declined 1 percent to 35,201 units, but the shift from single- section units to multi-section units resulted in a 2 percent increase in floors shipped. Housing sales were 51 percent of total Company revenues, down from 53 percent last year. Gross profit margin for the six month period increased as a percentage of sales from 18.9 percent to 19.2 percent. Improved RV profit margins more than offset the impact of lower housing margins, which were eroded in the second quarter. Operating expenses of $201.8 million for the first six months were virtually unchanged from the prior year. As a percentage of sales, however, operating expenses dropped to 13.5 percent from 14.3 percent. Selling expenses fell as a percentage of sales from 6.9 percent to 5.8 percent, while general and administrative expenses rose slightly from 7.5 percent to 7.6 percent. Selling expenses fell 10 percent to $87.5 million reflecting lower sales promotion and product financing costs, which more than offset higher product warranty costs. General and administrative expenses rose 9 percent to $114.3 million primarily due to higher management incentive compensation resulting from improved profitability. Non-operating income for the six month period dropped 10 percent to $5.4 million primarily reflecting interest expense on long-term debt which did not exist last year. The higher interest expense more than exceeded the rise in investment income for the period. The effective income tax rate decreased from 40.8 percent to 39.4 percent due to the elimination of European operating losses as mentioned previously. Although the Company achieved record operating results in the first half of fiscal 1997, there are currently signs of weakening demand for both manufactured homes and recreational vehicles. Order backlogs are below the levels of a year ago, and sales in the early part of the third quarter are running slightly behind last year's pace. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company generally relies upon internally generated cash flows to satisfy working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations dropped to $53.4 million in the first half of the current fiscal year compared to $153.2 million in the prior year. This change, which was primarily related to recreational vehicle operations, largely reflects a $32.9 million rise in inventory levels versus a $71.4 million decline last year. Included in first half cash flows is $132.2 million, net of income taxes, received from the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp. The proceeds from the sale of FCC, along with the sale of investment securities, yielded net cash from investing activities of $295.0 million. During the six months ended October 27, 1996, the Company purchased 10.3 million shares or approximately 22.5 percent of its outstanding Common stock at a cost of $311.7 million. A Dutch Auction tender offer in the first quarter resulted in the purchase of 7.7 million shares at $31 per share. In the second quarter, the Company purchased 2.6 million shares of Common stock at an average price of $27.875 per share. Cash outflows also included $13.0 million for shareholder dividends, $25.0 million for the retirement of long-term debt and $22.3 million for capital expenditures. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
