Condensed Financial Statements The following unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 July 25, 1999 and July 26, 1998, and the balances as of July 25, 1999 and April 25, 1999. 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 reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of July 25, 1999, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirteen-week periods ended July 25, 1999 and July 26, 1998, respectively, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen-week periods ended July 25, 1999 and July 26, 1998, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the thirteen-week period ended July 25, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 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 25, 1999, 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 21, 1999, 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 25, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

The operating income information for the 	period ended July 26, 1998 has been reclassified to reflect all amortization of goodwill of $62 in "Corporate and other" rather than in the industry segments. 3) Earnings Per Share 	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to Common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of potential shares outstanding from dilutive stock options and dilutive preferred securities. After-tax distributions on preferred securities are added to net income to arrive at earnings used in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The table below shows the calculation components of earnings per share for both basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in thousands): 13 Weeks Ended 13 Weeks Ended July 25, 1999 July 26, 1998 Weighted Weighted Average Average Income Shares Income Shares Basic earnings per share $26,360	 34,383 $30,225	 31,621 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options -- 80 -- 720 Preferred securities 	 2,787	 5,901 2,781 5,901 Diluted earnings per share $29,147 40,364 $33,006 38,242 4) Inventory Valuation 	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Manufacturing cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Retail finished goods are valued at cost less intercompany manufacturing profit. Inventories consist of the following: July 25, 1999 April 25, 1999 (Amounts in thousands) Manufacturing inventory- Raw materials $125,838 $108,813 Work in process 26,787 28,015 Finished goods 14,035 9,973 166,660 146,801 Retail inventory- Finished goods 143,665 126,239 Less manufacturing profit (19,561) (16,006) 124,104	 110,233 $290,764	 $257,034 5) Convertible Trust Preferred Securities 	Reference is made to Note 8 in the notes to audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 25, 1999. During fiscal 1998, Fleetwood Capital Trust (the Trust), a Delaware business trust wholly owned by the Company, completed a $287.5 million private placement of 5,750,000 shares of 6% Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. The proceeds from the issuance were invested by the Trust in 6% convertible subordinated debentures (the Debentures) issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $296.4 million, maturing on February 15, 2028. The Debentures are the sole assets of the Trust and eliminate in consolidation. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following is an analysis of changes in key items included in the consolidated statements of income for the 13-week period ended July 25, 1999 compared to the 13-week period ended July 26, 1998. Thirteen Weeks Ended July 25,1999 Increase % (Amounts in thousands) (Decrease) Change -------- ------ Sales $116,559 13.9 % Cost of products sold 77,079 11.6 -------- ----- Gross profit 39,480 22.7 Selling expenses 15,585 24.7 General and administrative expenses 24,190 40.0 ------- ---- Operating expenses 39,775 32.2 ------- ---- Operating income (295) (.6) Other income (expense) (4,469) -- Income before taxes (4,764) (9.5) Provision for income taxes (899) (4.6) Net income $(3,865) (12.8) % ======= ===== Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year Consolidated Results: Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 declined 13% to $26.4 million or 72 cents per diluted share compared to $30.2 million and 86 cents per share for last year's similar period. The earnings decline mainly resulted from reduced housing profits, stemming from lower manufacturing sales and the effects of entering the housing retail business. The latter factor includes the impact of Fleetwood Retail Corp. (FRC) startup costs and goodwill amortization, as well as the elimination of intercompany profits on certain factory sales to FRC for homes that had not been sold to retail buyers. The retail operations were not significant a year ago because FRC was just commencing operation. Higher recreational vehicle sales and the additional volume from the Company's new retail business led to record first quarter revenues of $956.7 million, a 14% increase over last year's $840.2 million. Gross profit margin rose from 20.7% to 22.3% of sales, entirely due to the impact of the retail business. Retail gross margins are typically higher than manufacturing margins, and the combination of the added retail profit and the elimination of intercompany sales has the effect of boosting the consolidated gross margin percentages. Manufacturing gross margins were unchanged between the two periods at 20.6% of sales. Operating expenses rose 32% to $163.3 million, and also increased as a percentage of sales from 14.7% to 17.1%. Approximately 70% of the dollar increase was related to the addition of housing retail operations. Selling expenses rose 25% to $78.6 million, with the retail operation accounting for about 65% of the increase. Within the manufacturing sector, higher costs were incurred for product warranty and service and sales promotion and advertising. As a percentage of sales, selling costs rose from 7.5% to 8.2%. General and administrative expenses were up 40% to $84.7 million primarily due to the addition of $18.0 million in retail costs. Manufacturing costs were up 12% reflecting increases in insurance costs, compensation and benefits and goodwill amortization. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.9% compared to 7.2% in last year's first quarter. Non-operating items amounted to a net expense of $4.7 million compared to $278,000 a year ago largely as a result of $2.8 million of interest expense on retail inventory financing and a decrease in investment income. The combination of reduced rates of return and lower invested balances led to the decline in investment income. The Company's effective income tax rate moved from 39.5% last year to 41.7% in the current quarter primarily due to the effect of goodwill amortization, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The higher tax rate had the effect of reducing earnings per share by about two cents. Manufactured Housing: Factory sales of manufactured homes, including intercompany sales to affiliates of $81.6 million, declined 4% from $400.4 million to $385.8 million on a similar decline in unit volume to 15,815 homes. The lower volume and the elimination of intercompany profit on certain sales to Company-owned retail stores led to a 33% decrease in operating income to $17.1 million. The latter factor, which amounted to $3.6 million for the quarter, is related to sales of homes which remain in retail inventories at the end of the reporting period. Profit recognition is delayed until such homes are sold to retail customers. Operating income for the housing group before intercompany profit elimination fell 19% to $20.7 million or 5.4% of sales, down from $25.5 million and 6.4% of sales in last year's first quarter. Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was comparable to the prior year, but higher product warranty costs and the effect of lower volume pushed the operating margin below last year's percentage. Recreational Vehicles: Healthy consumer demand for recreational vehicles drove Fleetwood's RV sales to an all-time high for the first quarter. Company RV revenues rose 13% to $483.7 million, primarily on the strength of higher motor home sales. Robust sales of both Class A and Class C products pushed motor home revenues up 18% to $306 million, a record high for the July quarter, on a comparable increase in unit volume to 4,472 units. Travel trailer sales rose 6% to a first quarter record $148.5 million on a 9% rise in shipments to 11,019 units. Folding trailer revenues of $29.2 million were off slightly from last year's $29.5 million due to a 6% decline in unit volume to 5,019. Operating income for the RV group increased 16% to $31.0 million in the first quarter, and operating margin improved from 6.2% to 6.4% of sales. Supply Operations: The Company's supply group generated first quarter revenues of $11.1 million compared to $10.6 million in last year's similar period. Operating income rose 36% to $4.9 million reflecting higher profits from import and lumber brokerage operations, as well as improved manufacturing results. Housing Retail Operations: Fleetwood's housing retail division, which was just commencing operation a year ago, contributed first quarter revenues of $157.7 million versus $1.9 million for the similar period last year. FRC operated 182 sales centers in the current quarter compared to two locations in last year's first quarter. Operating income improved to $6.7 million compared to a loss of $1.1 million last year. Pre-tax profits, after deducting interest expense of $2.8 million for inventory financing, improved to $3.9 million. 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 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to $58.0 million compared to $81.4 million for the similar period last year. Cash and cash equivalents declined from $267.1 million as of April 25, 1999 to $250.8 million at the end of July. The reduced cash flow from operations in the first quarter compared to the prior year and the lower level of cash and cash equivalents primarily reflect the expansion of the housing retail business and the related inventory requirements. Cash totaling $2.5 million was used for the acquisition of a retail housing company. This was in addition to $4.4 million in Common stock issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition. Cash outlays in the current quarter included $6.3 million in dividends to shareholders, $12.7 million for net capital expenditures and $52.4 million for repurchase of the Company's Common stock. Dividends last year totaled $5.8 million and net capital expenditures were $3.8 million. There was no repurchase of Common stock in last year's similar period. In the opinion of management, the combination of existing cash resources, expected future cash flows from operations and available lines of credit will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's foreseeable cash requirements. Year 2000 Compliance Fleetwood is dependent on a cluster of centralized computers to provide data in support of vital company-wide operational and accounting functions. Many of the computer processes used to generate this data were programmed in-house following the common practice of using only two digits to designate a year. Other software purchased by the Company was written using the same convention. As the year 2000 approaches, programs with such date-related logic will not be able to distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000, potentially causing software and hardware to fail, generate erroneous calculations or present information in an unusable form. In recognition of this potential, the Company launched a year 2000 project in February 1996 to identify and correct all offending computer code that was written internally and to upgrade or replace any purchased software that was non-compliant. At this date, the project, including thorough testing and certification, is substantially complete. A few tasks remaining relate to the implementation of vendor upgrades and replacements of purchased software and are expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of calendar 1999. The Company's dependence on non-information technology which utilizes embedded chip controllers is minimal. Nevertheless, as part of the year 2000 project, an inventory of all such equipment has been conducted, disclosing that most is not calendar-date sensitive. In isolated cases where remediation is required, repair or replacement will be completed by the end of the third calendar quarter. The Company has relationships with various third parties on whom it relies to provide goods and services necessary for the manufacture and distribution of its products. These include vendors, suppliers and financial institutions. As part of its determination of year 2000 readiness, the Company has identified material relationships with third party vendors and suppliers and has completed a survey intended to assess the status of their year 2000 compliance. Responses from the survey indicate that key suppliers to the Company, including financial institutions, plan to be compliant by year end. 	The Company sells its products mostly through numerous independent retailers, none of which account for a material part of the Company's total sales. Due to the broad diversification of these retailers, the risk associated with potential business interruptions as a result of year 2000 non-compliance is not considered significant. The Company believes that the worst case scenario relative to year 2000 issues would be a significant disruption of production due to wide-spread failures of vendors and suppliers to provide critical materials and services, including utilities. Because of the broad geographical disbursement of the Company's manufacturing facilities and the diversification of vendors for most materials and components, the Company believes that such a disruption is unlikely. Where the Company is dependent on a few or sole source suppliers to provide a crucial product or component, measures have been taken, where possible, to identify alternate vendors who can supply the required material and provide assurance of year 2000 readiness. The Company's most significant exposure in this area is with a few manufacturers which supply most of the chassis used in the production of motor homes. All such suppliers have provided the Company with specific assurances of year 2000 compliance. It is anticipated that the Company's year 2000 project will substantially reduce the risk of significant business interruptions, but there is no assurance that all material risks can be eliminated. Failure to detect and correct all internal instances of non-compliance or the inability of third parties to achieve timely compliance could result in the interruption of normal business operations which could, depending on its duration, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company has begun the process of assessing potential year 2000 failures and designing contingency plans to mitigate the effect of such occurrences. This effort is expected to be completed during the third calendar quarter of 1999. The total cost of the Company's year 2000 efforts, including hardware, software, related consulting costs and assessment of third party compliance is estimated to be about $1.2 million. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on its marketable investments, investments underlying a Company-owned life insurance program (COLI) and variable rate debt, which consists of notes payable to an insurance company and the liability for flooring of manufactured housing retail inventories. With respect to the COLI program, the underlying investments are subject to both interest rate risk and equity market risk. The Company does not use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments. The vast majority of the Company's marketable investments are in fixed rate securities with average original maturity dates of approximately two weeks, minimizing the effect of interest rate fluctuations on their fair value. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. The Company does not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until the Company would be required to refinance it. Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at the end of the first quarter, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates occurring on the first day of an annual period would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.0 million.
