PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Clayton Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (The Company) produces, sells, finances and insures primarily low to medium priced manufactured homes. The Company's 16 manufacturing plants produce homes which are marketed in 28 states through 668 retail dealers, of which 192 are Company-owned sales centers and 55 are Company-owned community sales centers. The Company provides installment financing to purchasers of manufactured homes sold by its retail centers and by selected independent dealers. Such financing is provided through its wholly-owned finance subsidiary, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. The Company acts as agent, earns commissions and reinsures risks on physical damage and credit life insurance policies issued by a non-related insurance company (ceding company) in connection with the Company's retail sales. The Company also develops, owns, and manages manufactured housing communities. The Company is a Tennessee corporation whose predecessor was incorporated in 1968 in Tennessee. Its principal executive offices are located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The following table shows the percentage of revenue derived from sales by Company-owned retail centers, sales to independent dealers and financial services operations and other income for each of the last three fiscal years. YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 1994 1993 Sales by Company-owned retail centers and communities.......................... 53% 54% 56% Sales to independent dealers.............. 29 27 25 Financial services and other.............. 18 19 19 ---- ---- ---- Total..................................... 100% 100% 100% ==== ==== ==== For information relating to the Company's three major business segments, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders. Company sales reflect the seasonality of the manufactured housing industry. In recent years, approximately 30% of the Company's sales have occurred in its fourth quarter ended June 30. MANUFACTURED HOMES A manufactured home made by the Company is a factory-built, completely finished dwelling. Constructed to be transported by truck, the home is mounted on wheels attached to its frame. Manufactured homes are designed to be permanent, primary residences sited and attached to utilities. The Company manufactures a variety of single and multi-section homes in a wide price range. Retail prices range from $13,000 to $75,000 with sizes from 675 to 1,900 square feet. The Company markets homes under a variety of model names. Homes include as standard equipment central heating, range, refrigerator, and color-coordinated window, wall and floor coverings. Optional features include central air conditioning, wood-burning fireplaces, bay windows, hardwood floors, whirlpool tubs, skylights, and furniture. 2 3 MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS The Company owns or leases 16 manufacturing plants, ranging in size from 53,000 to 226,000 square feet. Plants are located in Andersonville, Ardmore, two in Bean Station, Halls, Maynardville, Rutledge, Savannah and White Pine, Tennessee; in Henderson, Oxford and Richfield, North Carolina; in Waycross, Georgia and one in Bonham and two in Waco, Texas. See "Properties (item 2)." The Company's manufactured homes are built in its plants using assembly-line techniques. Completion of a home ordinarily takes two days. Homes are generally produced against orders received from independent and Company-owned retail centers; therefore the Company does not normally maintain a significant inventory of homes at its plants. Completed homes are transported to the retail centers by independent carriers. The Company's plants operate on a one-shift-per-day basis, normally for a five-day week, with the capacity to produce approximately 31,000 homes per year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company produced 18,713 homes. The principal materials utilized in the production of the Company's homes are steel, aluminum, wood, fiberglass, carpet, vinyl floor covering, hardware items, appliances and electrical items. The Company purchases, among other things, steel for the frames, appliances, plumbing fixtures, furniture, windows and doors. The Company uses a number of supply sources, and it believes that the materials and parts necessary for the construction and assembly of its homes will remain readily available from these sources. In the event that any of these items are not readily available or are available at a higher cost than could be passed on to consumers, the operations of the Company could be materially adversely affected. The Company offers a one-year, limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship in a home. Warranties covering appliances and equipment installed in the homes generally are obligations of the manufacturers of such items and not those of the Company. Warranty and service costs during the years ended June 30, 1995, and June 30, 1994, amounted to approximately $9,420,000 and $7,510,000, respectively. The backlog of firm orders for homes manufactured by the Company, including orders from Company-owned retail centers, was approximately $68,700,000 and $42,300,000 on June 30, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Based on the Company's current production rate, approximately seven weeks would be required to fill backlog orders at June 30, 1995. SALES OF HOMES MANUFACTURED BY THE COMPANY The following table sets forth manufacturing sales data for number of homes shipped to Company-owned retail centers and to independent dealers, total number of homes sold, number of plants, number of independent dealers and number of Company-owned retail centers for the periods indicated. AT OR FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 1994 1993 Number of homes sold to independent dealers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11,025 9,389 6,890 Number of homes shipped to Company-owned retail centers . . . . . . . . 7,917 6,948 6,155 ------ ------ ------ TOTAL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18,942 16,337 13,045 ====== ====== ====== Number of plants operating . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 13 13 Number of independent dealers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 421 372 371 Number of Company-owned communities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55 46 33 Number of Company-owned retail centers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 192 165 143 INDEPENDENT DEALERS In the years ended June 30, 1995, and 1994, 58% and 57%, respectively, of homes manufactured by the Company were sold to its independent dealers. As of June 30, 1995, the Company had 421 independent dealers in 25 states. The Company's independent dealer network enables it to distribute homes to more markets, more quickly, without as large an investment in management resources and overhead expenses as is required with Company-owned retail centers. Sales to independent dealers also help the Company ensure that its homes are competitive with other manufacturers in terms of consumer acceptability, product design, quality and price. 3 4 The Company generally does not assist independent dealers in arranging financing for their retail customers. However, the Company's finance subsidiary, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc.(VMF), may provide financing for retail customers of selected independent dealer locations with terms and conditions similar to those provided to Company-owned dealerships. The Company establishes relationships with independent dealers through sales representatives from its manufacturing plants. These representatives visit independent dealers in assigned areas to solicit orders for the Company's homes. The area is generally limited to a 400 to 500 mile radius from each of the Company's manufacturing plants due to the relatively significant cost of transporting a home. Depending on the cost of the home and the wholesale competition within the area, a home may be competitively shipped shorter or longer distances. During each of the last three fiscal years no dealer accounted for more than 2% of the Company's consolidated revenues. Because independent dealers have their own source of inventory financing, the Company typically receives payment for homes within two weeks of delivery to the independent dealer. The Company has no written agreements with its independent dealers, and the relationship between the Company and each of its independent dealers may be terminated at any time by either party. The Company believes its relations with independent dealers are good, and has experienced relatively little turnover among independent dealers in the past five years. The Company generally has no control over the operations of independent dealers. Typically the Company neither provides inventory financing arrangements for independent dealer purchases nor consigns homes. As is customary in the industry, lenders financing independent dealer purchases require that the Company execute repurchase agreements which provide that, in the event of dealer default under the dealer's inventory financing arrangements, the Company will repurchase homes for the amount remaining unpaid to the lender, excluding interest and repossession costs. Historically, any homes repurchased under such agreements have been resold to other dealers, including Company-owned retail centers, at no less than the repurchase price. During the last five fiscal years, the Company has incurred no significant losses resulting from these contingent obligations, but there can be no assurance that losses will not occur in the future. COMPANY RETAIL OPERATIONS As of June 30, 1995, the Company sold homes through 192 Company-owned retail centers in 18 states. In addition to selling homes built by the Company, virtually all of these retail centers sell new homes manufactured by other companies and previously owned manufactured homes. The following table indicates the number of Company-owned retail centers and certain information relating to homes they sold during the last three fiscal years. YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 1994 1993 Number of Company-owned centers . . . . . 192 165 143 Number of new homes sold (including homes built by the Company and by other manufacturers) . . . . . . . . . . . . 11,352 10,071 8,752 Average retail price of new homes sold . $30,565 $29,103 $26,434 Number of previously-owned homes sold . . 2,746 2,523 2,126 All of the Company-owned retail centers employ salespeople who are primarily compensated on a commission basis. The retail centers do not have administrative staffs since most administrative functions are performed at the Company's corporate headquarters. To provide customers a wider price range of homes, the Company purchases previously-owned homes from individuals and from other dealers, as well as repossessed homes from lenders throughout its trade territory. 4 5 Homes sold by Company-owned retail centers are delivered to the home owner's site by trucks either owned by the Company or leased for the particular delivery. The purchase price of the home includes delivery and setup of the home at the retail purchaser's site. Electrical, water and gas connections are done by licensed technicians at the home owner's expense. FINANCIAL SERVICES The Company believes that the ability to make financing available to retail purchasers is a materially important factor affecting the market acceptance of its product. The Company facilitates retail sales by making loans through its finance subsidiary, VMF, and by maintaining relationships with conventional lenders such as banks and finance companies for the pre-arranged sale of retail installment contracts. The following table reflects the relative percentages of homes sold by the Company's retail centers which were financed through the Company, either by VMF or by conventional lenders, and those sales made to customers who arranged their own financing or paid cash. YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 1994 1993 VMF . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72% 74% 74% Conventional lenders . . . . . . . 5 5 4 Customer arranged or cash . . . . . 23 21 22 ---- ---- ---- TOTAL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100% 100% 100% ==== ==== ==== VMF also purchases and originates manufactured housing installment contract receivables (also referred to as manufactured housing contracts) on an individual basis from dealers not owned by the Company. Such dealers must make an application to VMF for dealer approval. Upon satisfactory results of VMF's investigation of the dealer's creditworthiness and general business reputation, VMF and the dealer enter into a dealer agreement. In addition to purchasing manufactured housing contracts from Company-owned and independent dealers on an individual basis, VMF makes bulk purchases of manufactured housing contracts. It also performs, on behalf of other institutions, servicing of manufactured housing contracts that were not purchased or originated by VMF. These purchases and servicing arrangements may relate to the portfolios of other lenders or finance companies, governmental agencies or instrumentalities, or other entities that purchase and hold manufactured housing contracts. VMF is actively seeking arrangements by which it can service manufactured housing contracts originated by other lenders. VMF currently anticipates that it will only seek servicing responsibilities which relate to manufactured housing contracts. UNDERWRITING POLICIES. Retail customers of the Company who express a desire to obtain financing by or through the Company complete a credit application form which is initially reviewed by the manager of the Company-owned retail center. The manager then forwards the application to VMF or another source of financing. Credit applications are then evaluated by VMF credit managers. VMF's underwriting guidelines generally require that each applicant's credit history, residence history, employment history and income to debt payment ratios be examined. There are no requirements on the basis of which, if met, credit is routinely approved; or if they are not met, credit is routinely denied. If in the judgment of the VMF credit manager an applicant does not meet minimum underwriting criteria, there generally must be compensating higher ratings with respect to other criteria in order for an applicant to be approved. Credit managers must confirm that the credit investigation gave a complete and up-to-date accounting of the applicant's creditworthiness. Credit managers are encouraged to obtain second opinions on loans for relatively large dollar amounts or those which in their judgment, tend to rank lower in terms of underwriting criteria. Generally, the sum of the monthly installment housing obligation, which includes the manufactured home loan payment and monthly site costs, should not exceed 28% of the applicant's gross monthly income. With respect to those customers determined to be credit worthy, VMF requires a down payment in the form of cash, the trade-in value of a previously owned manufactured home, and/or the estimated value of equity in real property pledged as additional collateral. For previously-owned homes, the trade-in allowance accepted by the dealer must be consistent with the value of the home as determined by VMF in light of current market 5 6 conditions. The value of real property pledged as additional collateral is estimated by dealer personnel, who are not appraisers but are familiar with the area in which the property is located. The minimum amount of the down payment is 5% of the purchase price. The purchase price includes the stated cash sale price of the manufactured home, sales or other taxes and fees, set-up costs and certain insurance premiums (including up to five years of premiums on required hazard insurance). The balance of the purchase price is financed by an installment sales contract providing for a purchase money security interest in the manufactured home and a mortgage on any real property pledged as additional collateral. Normally, the contracts provide for equal monthly payments, generally over a period of five to fifteen years at fixed rates of interest. VMF's installment contracts may provide for either fixed rates or adjustable rates of interest. VMF believes the typical manufactured home purchaser is primarily sensitive to the amount of the monthly payment, and not to the interest rate. VMF has developed financing options such as contracts with a seven-year term (compared to the industry norm of 15 to 20 years) which provide financing to its customers at a relatively lower cost. The Company also offers a bi-weekly payment contract which provides for 26 payments a year which are made by electronically drafting the purchaser's checking account. The Company believes that such financing options are attractive to the customer and improve market acceptance of its homes as well as improve its delinquency and repossession experience. During the last eight fiscal years, VMF has become the most significant source of financing for purchasers of the Company's homes. In fiscal 1988, VMF originated 5,692 contracts and in fiscal 1995, VMF originated 13,857 contracts. At June 30, 1995, VMF was servicing approximately 90,000 contracts with an aggregate dollar amount of $1,434 million of which VMF has ownership interest or contingent liability on approximately 67,000 contracts with an aggregate dollar amount of $1,201million. The Company expects that VMF will continue to originate a significant portion of the financing for purchasers of its homes. The volume of manufactured housing contracts originated by VMF for the periods indicated below and certain other information at the end of such periods are as follows: Contract Originations Year Ended June 30, 1995 1994 1993 (Dollars in thousands) Principal Balance of Contracts Originated (in thousands) . . . . . $345,260 $292,435 $230,733 Number of Contracts Originated . . . 13,857 12,401 10,880 Average Contract Size (1) . . . . . . $ 24,916 $ 23,582 $ 21,207 Average Interest Rate (1) . . . . . . 12.24% 10.84% 11.61% (1) At period end. The following table shows the size of the portfolio of manufactured housing contracts serviced by VMF on which it was contingently liable or owner on the dates indicated: Contract Servicing Portfolio Year Ended June 30, 1995 1994 1993 Total Number of Contracts Being Serviced . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66,960 60,165 52,433 Originated by VMF . . . . . . . . . 55,923 47,944 42,656 Acquired from other institutions . . . . . . . . . . . 11,037 12,221 9,777 VMF FUNDING. VMF draws on its short-term credit facilities with the Company to fund manufactured home loans. After short-term warehousing, VMF transfers or pledges these loans, generally in pools, to institutional investors or long-term lenders. 6 7 VMF maintains long-term committed credit facilities and other arrangements or relationships with institutional investors. It acts as a permanent lender on certain conventional loans in that it holds these loans as long-term receivables, pledging them as collateral for borrowings. VMF also permanently funds conventional loans by pooling them for sale to institutional investors. Proceeds of both sources of funding are principally used to repay short-term borrowings. VMF retains servicing in both cases. Loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (VA) are permanently funded through the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) pass-through program. Under the GNMA program, installment sales contracts are warehoused by VMF and then pooled in denominations of approximately $1,000,000 to collateralize the issuance by VMF of securities guaranteed by GNMA under the provisions of the National Housing Act. Under the GNMA program, VMF retains the servicing of the installment sales contracts and is responsible for passing through payments under the contracts to GNMA security holders. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, VMF originated installment sales contracts eligible for financing under the GNMA program having aggregate principal balances of $58 million. As of June 30, 1995, VMF was servicing 238 GNMA pools totaling $158 million in principal balances. Use of GNMA financing minimizes the Company's contingent liability for these installment sales contracts because of the government-insured nature of the loans. Accordingly, the Company believes that the use of this form of financing, for customers who qualify, increases the marketability of its manufactured homes. Certain of the agreements related to borrowings include covenants with respect to the Company's financial condition, corporate existence and employment of certain key individuals. The Company may remain contingently liable on installment sales contracts sold with recourse to institutional investors; this contingent liability amounted to approximately $49 million as of June 30, 1995. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders. The interest rates on 99% of the long-term credit facilities or the pass-through certificates representing ownership of the pools are fixed or have adjustable rates with ceilings, while the remaining 1% have variable rates which provide for no minimum or maximum rate of interest. VMF attempts to match liabilities and assets as to both term and rate. This reduces loss exposure from interest rate fluctuations. VMF uses a number of techniques to achieve this result, principally by pricing its fixed rate receivables at or above the maximum rate allowed under such arrangements. When loans are funded under arrangements which do not have a maximum rate, the Company attempts to price these loans at or above forecasted interest rates. The Company minimizes the use of credit facilities which do not carry a maximum rate. The Company believes that, as long as buyers of the Company's homes remain sensitive primarily to the amount of their monthly payments rather than interest rates and VMF is able to continue to implement its loan practice and pricing policies, changes in interest rates will not materially effect its business. There can be no assurance, however, that a significant change in interest rates will not have a material effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Generally, the Company's and VMF's existing borrowing arrangements do not provide for interest rate hedging. ACQUIRED CONTRACTS AND SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS. The Acquired Contracts were originated by savings and loan associations or savings banks and acquired indirectly or directly from them by VMF. The Acquired Contracts were underwritten on the basis of underwriting criteria that were different from and, as a whole, not as strict as VMF's underwriting criteria. In fiscal 1992 and 1994, VMF became the servicer of 15,409 and 20,180 manufactured housing installment sales contracts with an approximate principal balance of $199 million and $285 million, respectively. VMF acts solely as servicer with respect to these contracts and, thus, has no ownership interest nor contingent liability related to this portfolio. At June 30, 1995, VMF was servicing approximately 22,565 of these installment sales contracts with an approximate principal balance of $240 million. DELINQUENCY AND REPOSSESSION EXPERIENCE. VMF performs recordkeeping and collection activities on all loans that it originates or purchases through portfolio acquisitions. Unrelated institutions purchasing the Company's installment sales contracts individually and directly from Company-owned retail centers perform their own recordkeeping and collection activities, although the Company is in some cases responsible for repossessing homes in the event such action becomes necessary. 7 8 Although the terms of the installment sales contracts vary according to the financial institutions which purchase the contracts, most contracts provide that the failure to make a payment as scheduled is an event of default which gives rise to the right to repossess the home. However, it is the policy of the Company, not to repossess the home until payments are three months delinquent unless the borrower has no apparent ability to bring payments current, in which case repossession may occur sooner. The Company generally follows the same policy with respect to loans insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, although the Company must also file a notice of claim within nine months after default with the agency to preserve its rights under the programs. The following table sets forth delinquent installment sales contracts as a percentage of the total number of installment sales contracts on which the Company provided servicing and was either contingently liable or owner. A contract is considered delinquent if any payment is past-due 30 days or more.

The Company believes that as long as it is able to sell repossessed homes at satisfactory margins, the increased repossession costs associated with payoffs of installment sales contracts will be largely offset by resales of repossessed homes. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company's future results with respect to the payoff and resale of repossessed homes will be consistent with its past experience. INSURANCE OPERATIONS. The Company acts as agent on physical damage and credit life insurance written by unaffiliated insurance companies (ceding companies) for purchasers of its manufactured homes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company acted as the agent on physical damage and credit life insurance policies on approximately 73% and 45%, respectively, of Company retail sales. Physical damage policies issued through the Company's agency are reinsured through Vanderbilt Property and Casualty Insurance Co., LTD (VPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated during fiscal year 1993. The credit life insurance policies issued through the Company's agency are reinsured through Vanderbilt Life and Casualty Insurance Co., LTD, (VLCIC) a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. 8 9 MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES In fiscal 1995 the Communities Group acquired 2,538 sites in nine communities bringing total sites owned to 15,541 at June 30, 1995, a 20% increase from the prior year. See "Properties. (item 2)". The following table lists the number of community sites owned and under exclusive marketing agreements and the aggregate occupancy rate at the end of the last three fiscal years: June 30 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Home sites owned 15,541 13,003 9,950 Exclusive marketing 0 0 480 ------ ------ ------ Total 15,541 13,003 10,430 ====== ====== ====== Occupancy rate 68% 64% 60% ====== ===== ===== REGULATION The Company's manufactured homes are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws. Construction of manufactured housing is governed by the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. In 1976, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued regulations under this Act establishing comprehensive national construction standards. The HUD regulations cover all aspects of manufactured home construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, wind loads and thermal protection. The Company's manufacturing facilities and the plans and specifications for its manufactured homes have been approved by a HUD-designated inspection agency. A HUD-approved organization regularly inspects the Company's manufactured homes for compliance during construction. Failure to comply with the HUD regulations could expose the Company to a wide variety of sanctions, including closing the Company's plants. The Company believes the homes it manufactures comply with all present HUD requirements. In addition, certain components of manufactured homes are subject to regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission which is empowered, in certain circumstances, to ban the use of component materials believed to be hazardous to health and to require the manufacturer to repair defects in components in its homes. In February 1983, the Federal Trade Commission adopted regulations requiring disclosure of a manufactured home's insulation specification. A variety of laws affect the sale of manufactured homes on credit by the Company. The Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (Truth-in-Lending) and Regulation Z (issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) require written disclosure of information relative to such credit sales, including the amount of the annual percentage rate and the finance charge. The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act also requires disclosure of certain information used as a basis to deny credit. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B (issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) prohibit discrimination against any credit applicant based on sex, marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract), receipt of income from any public assistance program or the good faith exercise by the applicant of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. Regulation B establishes administrative requirements for compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and, among other things, requires the Company to provide a customer whose credit request has been denied with a statement of reasons for the denial. The Federal Trade Commission has issued or proposed various Trade Regulation Rules dealing with unfair credit practices, collection efforts, preservation of consumers' claims and defenses and the like. Installment sales contracts eligible for inclusion in the GNMA Program are subject to credit underwriting requirements of the FHA or the VA. The movement and use of the Company's manufactured homes are subject to highway use laws, ordinances and regulations of various federal, state and local authorities. Such regulations may prescribe size and road use limitations and impose lower than normal speed limits and various other requirements. The Company's manufactured homes and its development of manufactured housing communities are also subject to local zoning and housing regulations. 9 10 The Company is subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act which regulates the descriptions of warranties on products. The description and substance of the Company's warranties are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations. VPC and VLCIC are subject to insurance and other regulations of the British Virgin Islands. COMPETITION The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive at the manufacturing and retail levels in terms of price, service, delivery capabilities and product performance. There are many firms in direct competition with the Company. The Company believes it has a competitive advantage over firms which do not have manufacturing, retailing and financing capabilities. Since the Company's homes are a form of low-cost housing, they compete with other forms of such housing including apartments and conventionally-built and prefabricated homes. Some of the Company's competitors are larger and have significant financial resources while other competitors are quite small in relation to the size of the Company. The capital requirements for entry into both the manufacturing and retail fields are relatively small, with retail and inventory financing generally available to a prospective dealer. The Company is not able to estimate the total number of competitors in its marketing area. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 1995, the Company employed 4,728 persons. Of these, 1,218 were employed in retail sales, 2,872 in manufacturing, 269 in financial services, 305 in communities and 64 in executive and administrative positions. The Company does not have any collective bargaining agreements and considers its employee relations to be good. SECTION 16 COMPLIANCE For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, all Forms 3, 4 and 5, as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, were filed on time, except that amendments to Form 4 filed by Kevin T. Clayton for the sale of Common Stock in August 1994 and for the acquisition of Common Stock in April 1995, were filed late. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's executive offices and Financial Services operations are located in Knoxville, Tennessee in several wholly-owned one-story buildings made up of modular units (built by the Bean Station single-section plant) which total approximately 30,000 square feet of office space and approximately 16,000 square feet in an office building owned 50% by the Company and 50% by a related party. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The following table sets forth the properties which the Company uses for its manufacturing operations and locations of its manufactured housing communities. All of the buildings used for manufacturing operations are constructed of fabricated metal on a concrete slab.

The balance of a retail center site is devoted to the display of homes. Of the 192 retail centers, 86 are owned and 106 occupy leased property. The Company does not believe that any of the property owned or leased for an individual retail center is material to its overall business. 11 12 All of the properties described above are well maintained, adequately insured and suitable for the purposes for which they are being used by the Company. The Company believes that its properties are adequate for its near-term needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. No material legal proceedings are pending other than routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company. The Company believes that such proceedings will not have any material adverse effect on it or its operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS.

The Board of Directors initiated the payment of cash dividends at the November 9, 1994 shareholders meeting of $.02 per share per quarter. Future dividend policy will depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors. Additionally, certain of the Company's financing agreements have various covenants that restrict payments which may be made for dividends and other stock transactions. At June 30, 1995, the aggregate amount of earnings available for cash dividends or for repurchase of the Company's stock was $368,000,000.
