EXHIBIT 99.1

        Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer and Principal
          Financial Officer Regarding Facts and Circumstances Relating
                            To Exchange Act Filings


         I, Walter R. Young, state and attest that:

                  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the
         covered reports of Champion Enterprises, Inc. and, except as corrected
         or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

         -        no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
                  fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                  the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
                  materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

         -        no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                  to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
                  circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
                  the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
                  of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
                  the date on which it was filed).

                  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the
         Company's audit committee.

                  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed
         on or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

         -        the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended
                  December 29, 2001 of Champion Enterprises, Inc;

         -        all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                  definitive proxy materials of Champion Enterprises, Inc. filed
                  with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
                  identified above; and

         -        any amendments to any of the foregoing.


 /s/ Walter R. Young                         Subscribed and sworn to before me
