3.       Floor Plan Payable

         The Company has floor plan credit facilities with financial
         institutions totaling $175.0 million to finance a major portion of its
         home inventory at the Company's retail superstores. These facilities
         are secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and
         receivables from financial institutions. The interest rates on the
         facilities range from prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) to prime plus
         2.0%. One of the Company's facilities, which expired June 30, 2001,
         requires notification from the financial institution 12 months prior to
         cancellation. The financial institution has extended all terms of the
         existing facility indefinitely. The Company has three other facilities
         which require notification from the financial institution six months
         prior to cancellation. Such notification has not been received by the
         Company from any of the financial institutions. The Company had $132.8
         million and $144.7 million outstanding on these floor plan credit
         facilities at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively.

         One of the Company's floor plan financing agreements permits the
         Company to earn interest on investments made with the financial
         institution, which can be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions.
         These investments have certain limitations depending upon the amount of
         floor plan balance outstanding. The interest rate earned on the amounts
         invested is prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.5%. The Company
         had $10.8 million and $16.2 million invested at December 28, 2001 and
         March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these amounts as Cash
         and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance
         Sheets.


                                                                               4



4.       Line of Credit

         The Company has a $20.0 million secured and a $15.0 million unsecured
         revolving line of credit from a financial institution for general
         corporate purposes. The line of credit bears interest, at the option
         (under certain conditions) of the Company, at either the LIBOR rate
         (1.88% at December 28, 2001) plus 2.0% or the prime rate (4.75% at
         December 28, 2001) minus 0.25%. The line of credit contains provisions
         regarding minimum financial requirements and certain indebtedness
         limitations, which would limit the amount available for future
         borrowings. Currently, the amount available of $35.0 million is reduced
         by letters of credit totaling $3.6 million. The line is available
         through June 26, 2002, and requires an annual commitment fee of up to
         $50,000. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the line of credit
         at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001.

5.       Business Segment Information

         The Company operates primarily in three business segments - retail,
         manufacturing and financial services. The following table summarizes
         information with respect to the Company's business segments for the

6.       Reclassification

         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         current period presentation.

7.       New Accounting Pronouncement

         Effective March 31, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
         (SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill not be amortized but
         instead be tested at least annually for impairment by reporting unit
         and expensed against earnings when the implied fair value of a
         reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount.
         The adoption of the new standard increased net income by $0.7 million,
         or $0.03 per share, to $0.23 per share for the quarter ended December
         28, 2001 and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.77 per share for
         the nine months ended December 28, 2001. Comparative pro forma results
         for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2000 would have
         increased income before cumulative effect of change in accounting
         principle and net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share , to $0.17
         per share and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.80 per share,
         respectively. The Company had $53.1 million and $52.9 million in
         goodwill at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has
         classified these amounts as Other assets in the accompanying Condensed
         Consolidated Balance Sheets.


                                                                               6



PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         Item 1.  Financial Statements

                      See pages 1 through 5.

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

The manufactured housing industry continues to be affected by three major
challenges - retail financing availability, repossessions and retail inventory
levels. Elevated credit standards, which began in mid-1999, resulted in reduced
retail sales levels, declining wholesale shipments and declining margins for
most industry participants. Calendar 2001 industry multi-section shipments are
down 20% from a year ago; however the Company's shipments declined less than 5%
during this same period. All of the Company's business segments, as well as each
manufacturing facility, were profitable this quarter. Additionally, the Company
maintained strong gross margins, profitably increased market share, reduced
retail inventories per superstore and increased consolidated net income, while
continuing its controlled growth strategy of opening new retail superstores.

The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $67.4 million after investing over
$20 million in the Company's stock buyback program and virtually no long-term
debt. In addition, the Company's practice of manufacturing only to order has
enabled the Company to continue to tightly manage inventories with the average
new home inventory per retail superstore declining 8% since the beginning of the
fiscal year. Floor plan financing per retail superstore declined 12% as well.

The following table sets forth certain items of the Company's statement of
income as a percentage of net sales for the period indicated.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29,
2000

       NET SALES. Net sales increased 8.8% to $158.8 million in the three months
ended December 28, 2001 from $145.9 million in the three months ended December
29, 2000. The volume of homes sold through Company-owned retail superstores
increased 3.4% while overall unit volume, which includes sales to independent
retailers, increased 2.6%. The improvement in net sales also reflects the
continued shift in product mix towards multi-section homes. 93% of the homes
sold by the Company were multi-section in the third quarter of fiscal 2002
versus 87% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The number of superstores
increased from 138 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 152 at the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

       GROSS PROFIT. In the quarter ended December 28, 2001, gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 31.4% from 31.2% in the quarter ended
December 29, 2000. Gross profit increased 9.4% to $49.8 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 from $45.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.
The Company sold 83% of its homes through Company-owned retail superstores in
the third quarter of fiscal 2002 versus 82% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat with the prior
year quarter at 26.2%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$3.3 million to $41.6 million in the quarter ended December 28, 2001 compared to
$38.3 million in the quarter ended December 29, 2000, primarily due to the
Company's continued commitment to building brand awareness via advertising,
startup expenses associated with the six new retail superstores opened during
the third quarter as well as those expected to be opened in the fourth quarter
and training costs associated with people development.

       INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 42.3% to $2.0 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from $3.3 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 primarily due to a decrease in the prime interest rate from 9.5% in
the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 4.75% in the third quarter of fiscal 2002
coupled with a decrease in the floor plan liability.


                                                                               8



NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29,
2000

       NET SALES. Net sales decreased 1.5% to $504.7 million in the nine months
ended December 28, 2001 from $512.6 million in the nine months ended December
29, 2000. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to competitive conditions
in the manufactured housing industry. The volume of homes sold through
Company-owned superstores declined 4.8% while overall unit volume, which
includes sales to independent retailers, declined 5.5% in the first three
quarters of fiscal 2002 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2001.
This decline in volume is partially offset by a continued shift in product mix
towards multi-section homes. 92% of the homes sold by the Company were
multi-section homes in fiscal 2002 versus 84% in fiscal 2001. The number of
Company-owned retail superstores increased from 138 at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 to 152 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

       GROSS PROFIT. For the nine months ended December 28, 2001, gross profit
as a percentage of net sales declined slightly to 31.2% from 31.6% in the nine
months ended December 29, 2000. Gross profit decreased 2.9% to $157.3 million in
the nine months ended December 28, 2001 compared to $162.0 million in the nine
months ended December 29, 2000. The Company sold 84% of its homes through
Company-owned retail superstores in the nine months ended December 28, 2001
versus 83% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 0.7% to $126.5 million in the nine months
ended December 28, 2001 from $127.3 million in the nine months ended December
29, 2000, primarily due to the Company's continued focus on reducing fixed
expenses company-wide. This decline was somewhat offset by a commitment to
building brand awareness via advertising, startup expenses associated with the
new retail superstores opened during the first nine months of fiscal 2002, as
well as those expected to be opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, and
training costs associated with people development. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly, as planned, to
25.1% in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 from 24.9% in the nine months
ended December 29, 2000. This increase is due to the growth in the Company's
retail operations, which generally, have higher selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales as compared to wholesale
operations.

       INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 30.3% to $6.6 million in the
nine months ended December 28, 2001 from $9.5 million in the nine months ended
December 29, 2000 due to a decrease in the prime interest rate from a range of
9.0% to 9.5% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000 to a range of 4.75% to
8.0% in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 coupled with a decrease in the
floor plan liability.

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company has floor plan credit
facilities with financial institutions totaling $175.0 million to finance a
major portion of its home inventory at the Company's retail superstores. These
facilities are secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and
receivables from financial institutions. The interest rates on the facilities
range from prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) to prime plus 2.0%. One of the
Company's facilities, which expired June 30, 2001, requires notification from
the financial institution 12 months prior to cancellation. The financial
institution has extended all terms of the existing facility indefinitely. The
Company has three other facilities which require notification from the financial
institution six months prior to cancellation. Such notification has not been
received by the Company from any of the financial institutions. The Company had
$132.8 million and $144.7 million outstanding on these floor plan credit
facilities at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively.


                                                                               9



         One of the Company's floor plan financing agreements permits the
Company to earn interest on investments made with the financial institution,
which can be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions. These investments have
certain limitations depending upon the amount of floor plan balance outstanding.
The interest rate earned on the amounts invested is prime (4.75% at December 28,
2001) minus 0.5%. The Company had $10.8 million and $16.2 million invested at
December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these
amounts as Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

         The Company has a $20.0 million secured and a $15.0 million unsecured
revolving line of credit from a financial institution for general corporate
purposes. The line of credit bears interest, at the option (under certain
conditions) of the Company, at either the LIBOR rate (1.88% at December 28,
2001) plus 2.0% or the prime rate (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.25%. The
line of credit contains provisions regarding minimum financial requirements and
certain indebtedness limitations which would limit the amount available for
future borrowings. Currently, the amount available of $35.0 million is reduced
by letters of credit totaling $3.6 million. The line is available through June
26, 2002 and requires an annual commitment fee of up to $50,000. The Company had
no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at December 28, 2001 and March 30,
2001.

       Through CountryPlace Mortgage, the Company's finance subsidiary, the
Company assigns approved loan contracts to one of three national finance
companies. In January 2000, one of these companies, Associates Housing Finance,
announced that they would be discontinuing retail and floor plan financing for
the manufactured housing industry. The Company does, however, have a contract
through March 31, 2002 with the Associates and they have committed to providing
consumer financing to the Company throughout the duration of the contract.

       In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to
certain business and market conditions, the use of up to $20.0 million to
repurchase the Company's common stock. In July 2000, the Board of Directors
authorized another $20.0 million for common stock repurchases. As of the date of
this filing, the Company had invested $20.5 million in the common stock buyback
program.

       The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with floor
plan financing and the revolving line of credit, will be adequate to support its
working capital, currently planned capital expenditure needs and future share
repurchases in the foreseeable future. The Company may, from time to time,
obtain additional floor plan financing for its retail inventories. Such practice
is customary in the industry. However, because future cash flows and the
availability of financing will depend on a number of factors, including
prevailing economic and financial conditions, business and other factors beyond
the Company's control, no assurances can be given in this regard.

       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT. Effective March 31, 2001, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," (SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill not be
amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment by reporting
unit and expensed against earnings when the implied fair value of a reporting
unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of the
new standard increased net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, to $0.23
per share for the quarter ended December 28, 2001 and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per
share, to $0.77 per share for the nine months ended December 28, 2001.
Comparative pro forma results for the three and nine months ended December 29,
2000 would have increased income before cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle and net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, to
$0.17 per share and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.80 per share,
respectively. The Company had $53.1 million and $52.9 million in goodwill at
December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these
amounts as Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
