[ ] 2 ITEM 1 - BUSINESS The Registrant, which was founded in 1946, designs, manufactures and markets manufactured homes and finances the majority of its sales. The Registrant operates five manufacturing plants in North Carolina, five in Georgia, three in Texas, and one each in California, Colorado, Oregon and Tennessee. The Registrant's manufactured homes are sold at retail through 300 Registrant owned and operated sales centers located primarily in the southeastern and southwestern United States and to approximately 93 independent retailers located primarily in the western and southern United States. The Registrant writes insurance for customers choosing to purchase insurance and reinsures the risk on the insurance it writes. Manufactured Homes The Registrant designs and manufactures a number of models of homes. Each home contains a living room, dining area, kitchen, two, three or four bedrooms and one or two bathrooms, and is equipped with a range and oven, refrigerator, hot water heater and central heating. A large number of homes are furnished with a sofa and matching chairs, dinette set, coffee and end tables, carpeting, lamps, draperies, curtains and screens. Optional furnishings and equipment include beds, a fireplace, washing machine, dryer, microwave oven, dishwasher, air conditioning, intercom, wet bar, vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood cabinetry and energy conservation items. The homes manufactured by the Registrant are sold under the registered trademarks "Oakwood," "Freedom," "Golden West," "Villa West" and "Peachtree" and the trade names "Victory," "Country Estate," "Bradbury," "Winterhaven," "Golden Villa," "First Place," "Omni," "Hyatt," "Command," "Destiny," "Sunrise Dream Home" and "Family Dream Home." The Registrant's manufactured homes are constructed and furnished at the Registrant's manufacturing facilities and transported on wheels to the homesite. The Registrant's manufactured homes are generally occupied as permanent residences but can be transported on wheels to new homesites. The Registrant's homes are defined as "manufactured homes" under the United States Code, and formerly were defined as "mobile homes." The Registrant manufactures 14-foot and 16-foot wide single-section homes and multi-section homes consisting of two floors which are joined at the homesite and which generally are 24 or 28 feet wide. The Registrant also manufactures a limited number of multi-section homes consisting of three or four floors. The Registrant's homes range from 40 feet to 80 feet in length. The Registrant's single-section homes are sometimes placed on rental lots in communities of similarly constructed homes. The Registrant manufactures homes at seventeen plants located in Moultrie, Georgia (5); Richfield (2), Rockwell (2) and Pinebluff, North Carolina; Hillsboro (2) and Ennis, Texas; Perris, California; Albany, Oregon; Fort Morgan, Colorado; and Pulaski, Tennessee. The Registrant is presently building an additional plant in Killeen, Texas. The Registrant purchases components and materials used in the manufacture of its homes on the open market and is not dependent upon any particular supplier. The principal raw materials purchased by the Registrant for use in the construction of its homes are lumber, steel, aluminum, galvanized pipe, insulating materials, drywall and plastics. Steel I-beams, axles, wheels and tires, roof and ceiling materials, home appliances, plumbing fixtures, furniture, floor coverings, windows, doors and decorator items are 3 purchased or fabricated by the Registrant and are assembled and installed at various stages on the assembly line. Construction of the manufactured homes and the plumbing, heating and electrical systems installed in them must comply with the standards set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") under the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. See "Regulation." The Registrant furnishes to each purchaser of a new home manufactured by the Registrant a one or five year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, except for equipment and furnishings supplied by other manufacturers which are frequently covered by the manufacturers' warranties. Sales At September 30, 1997, the Registrant sold manufactured homes through 300 Registrant owned and operated sales centers located in 28 states primarily in the southeast and southwest. See "Properties - Manufactured Home Sales Centers." The Registrant opened 49 new sales centers and closed four sales centers in fiscal 1997. Each of the Registrant's sales centers is assigned Registrant-trained sales personnel. Each salesperson is paid a commission based on the gross margin of his or her sales, and each sales manager is paid a commission based on the profits of the sales center. These commissions may be reduced if certain operational objectives are not met. The Registrant operates its sales centers under the names Oakwood(R) Mobile Homes, Freedom Homes(R), Victory Homes and Golden West Homes(R). At its sales centers, the Registrant sells homes manufactured by it as well as by other manufacturers. The Registrant uses purchases from independent manufacturers to supplement its manufacturing. Approximately 95% of the Registrant's retail dollar sales of new homes were homes manufactured by the Registrant and 5% represented sales of new homes manufactured by others. The Registrant has not had difficulty purchasing homes from independent manufacturers and believes an adequate supply of such homes is available to meet its needs. The Registrant also sells used homes acquired in trade-ins. At September 30, 1997, the Registrant's inventory of used homes was 1,018 homes as compared to 864 homes at September 30, 1996. Used homes in inventory do not include repossessed units. The Registrant also sells its homes to approximately 93 independent retailers located primarily in California, Oregon, Arizona, Washington, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina as well as in 7 other western and southern states. Sales to independent retail dealers accounted for approximately 9% of the Registrant's total dollar volume of sales in fiscal 1997 as compared to 16% in fiscal 1996. This decline resulted from the Registrant's addition of Registrant-owned sales centers in the areas surrounding recent manufacturing acquisitions. During recent years, the Registrant has placed increased emphasis on the sale of multi-section homes. In fiscal 1997, the Registrant's retail sales of new multi-section homes were 47% of the total number of new homes sold at retail, as compared to 32% in fiscal 1996. The retail sales price for new single section homes sold by the Registrant in fiscal 1997 generally ranged from $13,000 to $51,000 with a mean sales price of approximately $29,200. The retail sales price of multi-section homes sold by the Registrant generally ranged from $24,000 to $124,000, with a mean sales price of approximately $47,900. 4 The Registrant's sales have traditionally been higher in the period from late spring through early fall than in the winter months. Because a substantial majority of the homes manufactured by the Registrant are sold directly to retail customers, the Registrant's backlog of orders is not material. Registrant Retail Sales Financing A significant factor affecting sales of manufactured homes is the availability and terms of financing. Approximately 85% of the Registrant's retail unit sales in fiscal 1997 were financed by installment sale contracts or loans arranged by the Registrant, each of which generally required a minimum 5% downpayment and provided for monthly payments generally over a period of seven to 30 years. In fiscal 1997, of the aggregate loan originations relating to retail unit sales and dispositions of repossessed homes, 92% were installment sales or loans financed and warehoused by the Registrant for investment or later sale and 8% were installment sales or loans financed by others without recourse to the Registrant. The remaining 15% of retail unit sales were paid for with cash. At September 30, 1997, the Registrant held installment sale contracts or loans with a principal balance of approximately $322,830,000 and serviced an additional $2,223,991,000 principal balance of installment sale contracts or loans, the substantial majority of which it originated and securitized. A substantial majority of the installment sale contracts held by the Registrant are pledged to financial institutions as collateral for loans to the Registrant. The Registrant is responsible for the processing of credit applications with respect to customers seeking financing. The Registrant uses a credit scoring system, updated in fiscal 1998, to enhance its credit decision-making process. The most significant criteria in the system are the stability, income and credit history of the borrower. This system requires a minimum credit score before the Registrant will consider underwriting a contract. This system allows the Registrant the ability to standardize its credit-making decisions. The Registrant retains a security interest in any home it finances. In addition, the Registrant sometimes obtains a security interest in the real property on which a home is attached. The Registrant is responsible for all collection and servicing activities with respect to installment sale contracts it owns, as well as with respect to certain contracts which the Registrant originated and sold. The Registrant receives servicing fees with respect to installment sale contracts which it has sold but continues to service. The Registrant's ability to finance installment sale contracts is dependent on the availability of funds to the Registrant. The Registrant obtains funds to finance installment sale contracts primarily through sales of REMIC Trust certificates to institutional investors. During fiscal 1997, the Registrant sold $868,981,000 of REMIC securities. The Registrant generally has no credit exposure with respect to securitized contracts except (1) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties, (2) to the extent of any retained interests in a REMIC, (3) with respect to required servicer advances, (4) with respect to the servicing fee, which is subordinated and (5) with respect to any REMIC security the Registrant has guaranteed. The Registrant also obtains financing from loans insured by the FHA. These installment sale contracts are permanently funded primarily through the GNMA pass-through program, under which the 5 Registrant issues obligations guaranteed by GNMA. During fiscal 1997, the Registrant issued approximately $11 million in obligations guaranteed by GNMA. FHA insurance minimizes the Registrant's exposure to losses on these credit sales. The Registrant uses short-term credit facilities and internally generated funds to support installment sale contracts until a pool of installment sale contracts is accumulated to provide for permanent financing generally at fixed rates. In the past, the Registrant sold a significant number of installment sale contracts to unrelated financial institutions with full recourse to the Registrant in the event of default by the buyer. The Registrant receives endorsement fees from financial institutions for installment sale contracts it has placed with them on such a basis. Such fees totaled $455,000 in fiscal 1997. The Registrant's contingent liability on installment sale contracts sold with full and limited recourse was approximately $58 million at September 30, 1997. Independent Dealer Retail Sales Financing The Registrant provides permanent financing for homes sold by certain independent dealers that sell Registrant manufactured homes. During fiscal 1997, the Registrant financed approximately $28 million of the retail sales of these independent dealers. The Registrant from time to time considers the purchase of manufactured home installment sale portfolios originated by others as well as servicing rights to such portfolios. In fiscal 1997, the Registrant purchased no such portfolios. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Registrant and Deutsche Financial Services Corporation ("DFS"), a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, N.A. formed Deutsche Financial Capital Limited Liability Company ("DFC") to provide retail sales financing for other independent dealers. DFS is a large wholesale financing source for manufactured housing inventory purchased by independent dealers. The Registrant and DFS are equal owners of the joint venture. Under the joint venture DFS provides marketing services and the Registrant is responsible for origination and servicing. The Registrant and DFS are separately compensated for their respective services. During fiscal 1997, DFC originated $221,170,000 of installment sale contracts or loans. DFC also successfully completed its first REMIC securitization pursuant to which it raised $161 million. Delinquency and Repossession In the event an installment sale contract or loan becomes delinquent, the Registrant, either as owner or as servicer, normally contacts the customer within 8 to 25 days thereafter in an effort to have the default cured. The Registrant, as owner or servicer, generally repossesses the home after payments have become 60 to 90 days delinquent if the Registrant is not able to work out a satisfactory arrangement with the customer. After repossession, the Registrant generally transports the home to a Registrant owned and operated sales center where the Registrant attempts to resell the home or contracts with an independent party to remarket the home. The Registrant also sells repossessed homes at wholesale. 6 In an effort to minimize repossessions on contracts sold with full recourse, the Registrant monitors the servicing and collection efforts of many of the financial institutions to which the Registrant has sold installment sale contracts with full recourse. In addition, the Registrant performs the collection work on all installment sale contracts it has sold with recourse to two of its major purchasers of installment sale contracts. The Registrant is currently responsible for collection activities on 53% of the installment sale contracts which it has sold to independent financial institutions with full recourse. The Registrant is paid a fee by the financial institutions for performing this service. The Registrant maintains a reserve for estimated credit losses on installment sale contracts and loans owned by the Registrant or sold to third parties with full or limited recourse. The Registrant provides for losses on credit sales in amounts necessary to maintain the reserves at levels the Registrant believes are sufficient to provide for future losses based on the Registrant's historical loss experience, current economic conditions and portfolio performance measures. For fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, as a result of expenses incurred due to defaults and repossessions, $3,984,000, $4,534,000, and $4,937,000, respectively, was charged to the reserve for losses on credit sales. The Registrant's reserve for losses on credit sales at September 30, 1997 was $4,277,000, as compared to $8,261,000 at September 30, 1996 and $11,795,000 at September 30, 1995. In fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Registrant repossessed 3,879, 2,858, and 1,824 homes, respectively. The Registrant's inventory of repossessed homes was 962 homes at September 30, 1997 as compared to 642 homes at September 30, 1996 and 425 homes at September 30, 1995. The estimated net realizable value of repossessed homes in inventory at September 30, 1997 was approximately $28 million. Information concerning repossessions includes homes repossessed as servicer. The net losses resulting from repossessions on Registrant originated loans as a percentage of the average principal amount of such loans outstanding for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was 1.30%, 1.01%, and 0.75%. At September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, delinquent installment sale contracts expressed as a percentage of the total number of installment sale contracts which the Registrant services or has sold with full recourse and are serviced by others were as follows: Delinquency Percentage Total Number September 30, 1997 of Contracts --------------------------------------------------------- and Loans 30 days 60 days 90 days Total ------------- -------- -------- -------- ------ Registrant-serviced contracts and loans ....... 93,013(1) 1.4% 0.5% 0.8% 2.7% Contracts and loans sold with full recourse and serviced by others ........ 3,753 2.2% 0.6% 0.5% 3.3% 7 Delinquency Percentage Total Number September 30, 1996 of Contracts --------------------------------------------------------- and Loans 30 days 60 days 90 days Total ------------- -------- -------- -------- ------ Registrant-serviced contracts and loans ..... 71,297(1) 1.2% 0.5% 0.8% 2.5% Contracts and loans sold with full recourse and serviced by others................... 4,705 2.9% 0.7% 0.7% 4.3% - ----------- (1)Excludes certain contracts and loans originated in September of each year which were being processed at year end and which were not entered into the loan servicing system until October. At September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, delinquent installment sale contracts expressed as a percentage of the total outstanding principal balance of installment sale contracts which the Registrant services or has sold with full recourse and are serviced by others were as follows: Delinquency Percentage September 30, 1997 Total Number -------------------------------------------------------- of Contracts 30 days 60 days 90 days Total ------------- -------- -------- -------- ------ Registrant-serviced contracts and loans ..... $2,532,284,000(1) 1.2% 0.5% 0.9% 2.6% Contracts and loans sold with full recourse and serviced by others .. $ 32,000,000 2.9% 0.7% 0.5% 4.1% 8 Delinquency Percentage September 30, 1996 Total Number -------------------------------------------------------- of Contracts 30 days 60 days 90 days Total ------------- -------- -------- -------- ------ Registrant-serviced contracts and loans...... $1,689,270,000(1) 1.2% 0.4% 0.8% 2.4% Contracts and loans sold with full recourse and serviced by others ...... $46,000,000 3.2% 0.7% 0.7% 4.6% - -------------- (1)Excludes certain contracts and loans originated in September of each year which were being processed at year end and which were not entered into the loan servicing system until October. Independent Retailer Repurchase Obligations Substantially all of the independent retailers who purchase homes from the Registrant finance new home inventories through wholesale credit lines provided by third parties under which a financial institution provides the retailer with a credit line for the purchase price of the home and maintains a security interest in the home as collateral. A wholesale credit line is used by the retailer to finance the acquisition of its display models, as well as to finance the initial purchase of a home from a manufacturer until the home buyers obtain permanent financing or otherwise pay the dealer for the installed home. In connection with the wholesale financing arrangement, the financial institution may require the Registrant to enter into a repurchase agreement with the financial institution under which the Registrant is obligated, upon default by the retailer, to repurchase its homes. Under the terms of such repurchase agreements, the Registrant agrees to repurchase homes at declining prices over the period of the agreement. At September 30, 1997, the Registrant estimates that its contingent liability under these repurchase agreements was approximately $31 million. The Registrant's losses under these arrangements have not been significant. Insurance The Registrant acts as agent for certain insurance companies with respect to homeowners insurance, credit life insurance and service contracts written for its customers. The Registrant generally requires customers purchasing homes pursuant to the Registrant's origination of installment sale contracts or loans to have homeowners insurance until the principal balance of the contract is paid. Historically, a substantial number of customers have renewed homeowners policies through the Registrant for which the Registrant receives renewal commissions. The Registrant reinsures, through a subsidiary, substantially all of the risk on the insurance products written by it. The Registrant has reinsured a portion of its homeowner's catastrophic risk in the reinsurance markets. Manufactured Housing Communities The Registrant has under development a manufactured housing subdivision at Hendersonville, North Carolina. The Registrant also owns land on which it intended to develop a manufactured housing subdivision in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The Pinehurst subdivision surrounds an existing golf course which the Registrant sold in fiscal 1997. The Registrant intends to attempt to sell its remaining interests in the Pinehurst subdivision and does not expect to develop additional subdivisions. 9 The Registrant also owns a 50% interest in a recreational vehicle campground and adjoining undeveloped land located at Deltaville, Virginia. Competition The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive with particular emphasis on price, financing terms and features offered. There are numerous retail dealers and financing sources in most locations where the Registrant conducts retail and financing operations. Several of these financing sources are larger than the Registrant and have greater financial resources. There are numerous firms producing manufactured homes in the Registrant's market area, many of which are in direct competition with the Registrant. Several of these manufacturers, which generally sell their homes through independent dealers, are larger than the Registrant and have greater financial resources. The Registrant believes that its vertical integration gives it a competitive advantage over many of its competitors. The Registrant is aware, however, that several of its manufacturing competitors are attempting to establish their own retail distribution systems. To the extent such competitors enter the retail market the Registrant could face increased competition at that level. The Registrant competes on the basis of reputation, quality, financing ability, service, features offered and price. Manufactured homes are a form of permanent, low-cost housing and are therefore in competition with other forms of housing, including site-built and prefabricated homes and apartments. Historically, manufactured homes have been financed as personal property with financing that has shorter maturities and higher interest rates than have been available for site-built homes. In recent years, however, there has been a growing trend toward financing manufactured housing with maturities more similar to the financing of real estate, especially when the manufactured housing is attached to permanent foundations on individually-owned lots. Multi-section homes are often attached to permanent foundations on individually-owned lots. As a result, maturities for certain manufactured housing loans have moved closer to those for site-built housing. Regulation A variety of laws affect the financing of manufactured homes by the Registrant. The Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (Truth-in-Lending) and Regulation Z promulgated thereunder require written disclosure of information relating to such financing, including the amount of the annual percentage rate and the finance charge. The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act also requires certain disclosures to potential customers concerning credit information used as a basis to deny credit. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B promulgated thereunder prohibit discrimination against any credit applicant based on certain specified grounds. The Federal Trade Commission has adopted or proposed various Trade Regulation Rules dealing with unfair credit and collection practices and the preservation of consumers' claims and defenses. The Federal Trade Commission regulations also require disclosure of a manufactured home's insulation specification. Installment sale contracts and loans eligible for inclusion in the GNMA Program are subject to the credit underwriting requirements of the FHA. A variety of state laws also regulate the form of the installment sale contracts and loan documents and the allowable deposits, finance charge and fees chargeable pursuant to installment sale contracts and loan documents. The sale of insurance products by the Registrant is subject to various state insurance laws and regulations which govern allowable charges and other insurance practices. 10 The Registrant is also subject to the provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which regulates the manner in which the Registrant collects payments on installment sale contracts, and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty - -- Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, which regulates descriptions of warranties on products. The descriptions and substance of the Registrant's warranties are also subject to state laws and regulations. The Registrant's manufacture of homes is subject to the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. In 1976, the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") promulgated regulations, which have been amended from time to time, under this Act establishing comprehensive national construction standards covering many aspects of manufactured home construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, wind loads and thermal protection. The transportation of manufactured homes on highways is subject to regulation by 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. Manufactured homes are also subject to local zoning and housing regulations. Financial Information About Industry Segments Financial information for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 1997 with respect to the Registrant's manufactured home operations and retail sales financing operations are incorporated herein by reference to page 35 of the Registrant's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.
