NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 September 30,
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 September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997 were $17,129,000 and $21,047,000, respectively.
Working capital as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $28,972,000
and $27,621,000, respectively. The decrease of these items has been caused by
accounts receivable and inventory increases as the Company's operations expand
over the normal year-end base, and by the funding of various property, plant and
equipment projects. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company repurchased a total of 41,000 shares of common stock under the program
initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to acquire up to 700,000 shares of
its common stock.
Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $48,897,000, an increase
of $5,036,000 over the same quarter of 1997. The product mix sold by the Company
follows the industry trend. Multi-section home sales increased during the
quarter, while at the same time, single-section home volume declined. Total unit
volume was higher. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was
$1,062,000 which was a $528,000 increase from the same quarter of 1997. Net
income improved primarily as a result of increased gross profit. The gains in
gross profit reflect the Company's higher volume of sales and improved
production efficiency. As sales backlogs in the manufactured housing 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,
9
such as cost, availability of credit and unemployment, have an immediate
effect on the Company's operations.
