OTHER INFORMATION
SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:
Short term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposits
with original maturities greater than 90 days.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the
lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
Repurchase Obligations
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements
with various financial institutions which provide for the repurchase of its
homes sold to dealers under floor plan financing arrangements upon dealer
default. The Company's exposure to loss under such agreements is reduced by
the resale of the repurchased home. The Company believes any losses incurred
under outstanding repurchase agreements in excess of the accruals established
as of March 31, 1998 will not have a significant impact on the financial
condition of the Company.
Other Contingencies
Letters of Credit totaling $3,325,000 have been issued to the Company's
insurance carriers who have underwritten the Company's insurance programs.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped to
independent dealers.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------ ---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997 were $11,393,000 and $21,047,000, respectively.
Working capital as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $27,620,000
and $27,621,000, respectively. The decrease of cash has been caused by
accounts receivable and inventory increases as the Company's operations
expand over the normal year end base, the payment of 1997 dealer volume
incentive programs, and by the funding of various property, plant and
equipment projects. Also during the three months ended March 31, 1998, at a
cost of $51,000, the Company repurchased a total of 5,200 shares of common
stock under the program initiated in 1994 to acquire up to 700,000 shares of
its common stock.
Net sales for the first quarter of 1998 were $42,886,000, an increase of
$7,755,000 from the same quarter of 1997. Net income for the quarter was
$580,000, which was a $336,000 increase from the same quarter of 1997.
Improvements in both revenue and net income were primarily the result of
increased home shipments. Also, in the first quarter of 1997, start-up costs
of the Tuscumbia, Alabama plant had a negative inpact on income.
As sales backlogs in the mobile home industry are traditionally short and
as dealer inventories do not normally fluctuate substantially, the orders that
the Company receives are indicative of the day-to-day retail sales activity of
its products. Any changes affecting the desire or ability of retail customers
to purchase, such as cost, availability of credit and unemployment, have an
immediate effect on the Company's
8
operations.
