3.    Earnings per share amounts, including pro forma amounts, are calculated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share."


4.    In January 1999 the registrant acquired Homes of Merit, Inc. and Heartland
Homes Group. Homes of Merit is the largest producer of manufactured housing in
Florida and Heartland Homes is a Texas retailer of manufactured homes. In June
1999 the registrant acquired Care Free Homes, Inc., a manufactured housing
retailer based in Utah. During the first half of 1999, net cash of $46 million
was paid for these acquisitions, financed from additional borrowings.
Guaranteed purchase price for these companies totaled $68 million, with
additional purchase price payments of up to $66.5 million over the next four
years if certain performance goals of the acquired businesses are achieved. The
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method and resulted in the
recording of $49 million of goodwill.

      Throughout 1998 the registrant acquired 14 manufactured housing retail
organizations and one manufactured home building facility. The aggregate
purchase price for these 1998 acquisitions consisted of guaranteed purchase
price of $295 million and contingent purchase

<PAGE>   6


 price of up to $160 million, potentially payable over the next five years if
 certain performance goals of the acquired businesses are achieved.



      Goodwill associated with acquisitions is generally amortized using the
 straight-line method over 40 years. Recognition of additional purchase price
 related to contingent amounts will result in the recording of a corresponding
 amount of goodwill. At July 3, 1999 the registrant was contingently obligated
 for additional purchase price of up to $191.5 million. The results of
 operations of acquisitions are included with those of the registrant from the
 respective acquisition dates.

      Following are pro forma results of operations for the three and six month
 periods ended July 4, 1998 assuming that 1998 and 1999 acquisitions of
 significant subsidiaries had taken place at the beginning of 1998. The pro
 forma results are not necessarily indicative of future earnings or earnings
 that would have been reported had the acquisitions been completed when assumed.
 The pro forma results should not be taken as indicative of results for a full
 year.

5.    Floor plan liabilities are borrowings from various financial
institutions secured principally by retail inventories of manufactured homes.
Interest on these liabilities generally ranges from the prime rate minus 0.5%
to the prime rate plus 1.5%.


6.    The sale of the commercial vehicles business for approximately $10 million
was completed in February 1998. Related amounts are classified as discontinued
operations.


7.    In May 1998 the registrant entered into a five-year revolving credit
agreement which provides a $325 million unsecured line of credit, including
letters of credit. The credit agreement provides for


<PAGE>   7



 annual reductions in the line of credit for three years until the line is
 reduced to $175 million in September 2001. At the registrant's option
 borrowings are subject to interest either at the bank's prime rate or the
 bank's Eurodollar rate plus 0.575% to 1.0%. In addition, the registrant pays a
 facility fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% of the entire line of credit and a
 letter of credit fee. The agreement also contains convenants which, among other
 things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios and minimum net worth,
 and limit additional indebtedness.

8.    On May 3, 1999 the registrant completed an offering for $200 million of
unsecured Senior Notes due May 15, 2009 with interest payable semi-annually at
an annual rate of 7.625%. The net proceeds from the offering totaling $197.3
million were primarily used to reduce bank debt.

11.   On July 23, 1999 the registrant's largest independent retail customer
filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. This customer operates 42 retail sales
centers primarily in North and South Carolina. Champion is contingently liable
under repurchase agreements with the customer's inventory floor plan lenders
and expects that it will be required to repurchase most of the inventory for
which it is contingently liable. The maximum repurchase obligation for this
customer, excluding the resale value of the homes, is approximately $69
million. As a result of this situation, the registrant has consolidated its
manufacturing operations in North Carolina and temporarily idled its Maxton,
North Carolina facility. Champion also plans to open approximately 20 new
retail sales locations in the Carolinas to facilitate the sale of the homes it
expects to repurchase. In the quarter ending October 2, 1999, the registrant
will provide a pretax charge of $33.6 million ($20.5 million after tax or $0.41
per diluted share). This charge primarily is for the discounting that is
anticipated in the reselling of the homes and for the removal and relocation
costs associated with the repurchase of the homes.

12.   Substantially all the registrant's subsidiaries are guarantors of
indebtedness under the $200 million Senior Notes. Separate financial statements
for each guarantor subsidiary are not included in this filing because each
guarantor subsidiary is fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally liable
for the Senior Notes. In addition, the aggregate total assets and pretax income
of and the Company's net investment in the nonguarantor subsidiaries is not
material to the consolidated totals of the Company.

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

                           CHAMPION ENTERPRISES, INC.
                     Three and six months ended July 3, 1999
                 versus three and six months ended July 4, 1998

Overview

In the three and six months ended July 3, 1999, Champion achieved record sales,
with revenues rising 14% for the quarter and 23% for the year-to-date period,
due to higher wholesale volume, internal expansions, and acquisitions completed
in 1998 and 1999. Throughout 1998 the registrant acquired 14 manufactured
housing retail organizations and a home building facility. In January 1999 the
registrant completed the acquisitions of Homes of Merit, Florida's largest
producer of manufactured homes, and Heartland Homes, a Texas housing retailer.
In June 1999 the registrant acquired Care Free Homes, Inc., a housing retailer
headquartered in Utah.

Total gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
rose in 1999 due to higher wholesale volume, acquisitions and expanded retail
operations. As a percent of revenues, gross margin and SG&A increased due to
expanded retail operations. Operating margins were 8.1% of sales for the quarter
and 7.4% for the six months, both comparable to a year ago. Net income for the
quarter increased 13% to $29.2 million, compared to $25.8 million in the prior
year's second quarter. Income per diluted share rose 13% to $0.59, compared to
$0.52 per diluted share in the second quarter 1998. For the year-to-date period,
net income was $50.4 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared to $43.4
million, or $0.88 per diluted share, a year ago.

Manufacturing revenues increased 7% in the quarter to $528 million due to higher
sales volume from existing operations and the inclusion of Homes of Merit.
Quarterly wholesale home shipments and floors sold were up 4% and 6%,
respectively, from a year ago. Of the total second quarter wholesale shipments,
85% were to independent retailers and the remaining 15% were to company-operated
sales centers.

In the year-to-date period, revenues reached $1 billion, up 13% from a year
earlier, due to higher sales volume from existing operations and the inclusion
of Homes of Merit. The registrant's year-to-date wholesale shipments of homes
and floors sold rose 10% and 12%, respectively, from a year earlier.

operated retailers accounted for 14% of year-to-date wholesale shipments.
Six-month segment income rose 7% to reach $85 million, or 8.3% of related
revenues. Margins in 1999 were affected by operating with lower levels of
unfilled orders and the registrant's inability to recover rising material costs,
particularly lumber and drywall.

Excluding Homes of Merit from both periods, the registrant's wholesale shipments
of homes and floors sold rose 3.5% and 5.0%, respectively, from a year earlier.
According to data reported by the National Conference of States on Building
Codes and Standards ("NCSBCS"), U.S. industry wholesale shipments for the first
five months of 1999 increased 2.0% in homes and 4.7% in floors from the
comparable 1998 period.

Although dealer orders can be cancelled at anytime without penalty, and unfilled
orders are not necessarily an indication of future business, the registrant's
unfilled orders for wholesale housing at July 3, 1999 totaled approximately $59
million, compared to $100 million a year ago, which excludes Homes of Merit.
Including six Homes of Merit plants, the registrant now has 65 home building
facilities, compared to 57 one year earlier. Recently, the registrant
temporarily idled its Chehalis, Washington, Maxton, North Carolina and White
Pigeon, Michigan facilities due to consolidating operations in those regions.

During the third quarter of 1999, the registrant plans to open new plants in New
York, Arizona and Kentucky.  The New York facility is a replacement for the
plant destroyed by fire in the first quarter.

</TABLE>

Retail sales reached $215 million in the second quarter, an increase of 49%
from a year ago, due to expanded retail operations from acquisitions and
internal expansions. Quarterly segment income, before inventory financing
charges, rose 26% from a year ago to reach $19 million, 9.0% of related
revenues. During the three-month period, 14 locations were added, 7 of which
were acquired upon the acquisition of Care Free Homes. In the second quarter of
1999, 63% of new retail homes sold were produced by Champion facilities,
compared to 45% in the comparable quarter of 1998.

In the six-month period, retail sales almost doubled from a year ago to reach
$400 million, with total homes sold up 85% from the comparable 1998 period.
Segment income, before inventory financing costs, increased 56% and represented
8.1% of related revenues. Margins in 1999 were affected by start-up and
expansion costs for new sales locations and lower margins at some of the minor
acquisitions.

Other Matters

During the six month period, a non-cash accounting charge of approximately $4.4
million was recorded to eliminate the manufacturing profits in inventories of
Champion produced homes at company-operated sales centers. This amount compares
to $7.3 million a year ago. Interest expense was higher in 1999 due to increased
amounts outstanding on the registrant's line of credit, Senior Notes payable and
floor plan payable. Income tax expense in 1999 increased due to higher pretax
income. The effective tax rate was 39% in 1999, compared to 40% in 1998,
decreasing as a result of lower state tax rates due to certain acquisitions.

On July 23, 1999 the registrant's largest independent retail customer filed a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. Sales to this customer represented 3.5% of
Champion's wholesale home shipments in 1998 and 2.7% for the six months ended
July 3, 1999. The registrant is contingently liable under repurchase agreements
with the customer's inventory floor plan lenders and expects that it will be
required to repurchase most of the inventory for which it is contingently
liable. The maximum repurchase obligation for this customer, excluding the
resale value of the homes, is approximately $69 million. As a result of this
situation, the registrant has consolidated its manufacturing operations in North
Carolina and temporarily idled its Maxton, North Carolina facility. Champion
also plans to open approximately 20 new retail sales locations in the Carolinas
to facilitate the sale of the homes it expects to repurchase. In the quarter
ending October 2, 1999, the registrant will provide a pretax charge of $33.6
million ($20.5 million after tax or $0.41 per diluted share). This charge
primarily is for the discounting that is anticipated in the reselling of the
homes and for the removal and relocation costs associated with the repurchase of
the homes.


                             Year 2000 Issue

The company began assessments in prior years to identify the work required to
assure that its computer systems successfully operate after January 1, 2000.
This review included analyzing software internally developed, software licensed
from third parties and related issues of significant suppliers, including
wholesale and retail financing companies. It has been determined that a small
portion of the registrant's computer systems could be affected by the Year 2000
Issue. The process of replacing or modifying such software and hardware was
started in 1997 and remaining changes are expected to be completed during third
quarter 1999. Costs incurred to date by the company related to the Year 2000
Issue have been immaterial and were charged to expense as incurred. Remaining
costs to make the registrant's computer systems year 2000 compliant are not
expected to have a material effect on results of operations, liquidity or
capital resources.

The registrant is dependent upon licensed software for a significant portion of
its computer applications. It has been represented by these suppliers that such
third-party software is year 2000 compliant. The registrant's operations are
also dependent on an adequate supply of raw materials, energy and utilities,
delivery services, and wholesale and retail financing. The company uses a
variety of vendors for these products and services, and is reviewing its major
vendors to determine the potential impact of the Year 2000 Issue.


<PAGE>   14




Management is not aware of any significant problems with these vendors relating
to this issue. In the event that certain suppliers are not year 2000 compliant,
the company could be adversely affected.


                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash balances totaled $29 million at July 3, 1999, compared to $24 million at
January 2, 1999. During the year-to-date period, long-term debt increased $102
million, generally due to acquisitions and working capital needs. Net cash
totaling $65 million was used for acquisitions and for other acquisition related
payments. Expenditures in 1999 included $31.5 million for capital improvements
and $8.6 million for common stock repurchases. These buybacks, totaling 442,000
shares during the six months, were pursuant to a Board of Directors
authorization for up to 3.0 million shares. Through August 5, 1999 743,000
shares had been repurchased at a cost of $13 million. During the six months
ended July 3, 1999, cash of $5 million was generated from stock option exercises
and related tax benefits and $6 million from increased floor plan payables.

Assets and liabilities increased during the year due to acquisitions and higher
wholesale revenues in June 1999 as compared to December 1998. Accrued
compensation and dealer discounts decreased during the first two quarters due to
payments made under annual programs. At quarter end debt was 45% of total
capital. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization totaled
$113 million for 1999, up from $90 million a year ago.

The company has a five-year $325 million unsecured bank line of credit, which
was completed in May 1998 and includes letters of credit. At quarter end the
registrant had $33 million of letters of credit outstanding and bank borrowings
totaling $7 million.

On May 3, 1999 the registrant completed an offering for $200 million of
unsecured Senior Notes due May 15, 2009 with interest payable semi-annually at
an annual rate of 7.625%. The net proceeds from the offering of approximately
$197 million were primarily used to reduce bank debt.

Additional borrowings may be necessary during 1999 to fund acquisitions, common
stock repurchases, and capital expenditures. Total 1999 expenditures of
approximately $56 million are planned for new construction and expansions of
manufacturing facilities and internal retail expansions. In addition,
approximately $69 million of cash will be needed to repurchase homes due to the
customer's bankruptcy discussed above.

The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and
additional availability under its line of credit are adequate to meet its
anticipated financing needs, operating requirements, capital expenditures,
common stock repurchases, and acquisitions in the foreseeable future. However,
management may explore other opportunities to raise capital to finance growth.
The registrant's long-term goals are to increase earnings per share at a minimum
compound annual growth rate of 15% and to reach $1 billion in retail revenues by
the year 2000. Consistent with its plan to improve shareholder value through
investments in sound operating businesses and common stock repurchases, the
registrant does not plan to pay cash dividends in the near term.

                           Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report, including the registrant's plans
for retail expansion, capital expenditures and planned facilities, contingent
liabilities related to repurchase agreements, and its earnings growth goal and
retail sales goal, could be construed as forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, Champion or persons
acting on its behalf may from time to time publish or communicate other items
which could also be construed to be forward looking statements. Statements of
this sort are or will be based on the registrant's estimates, assumptions and
projections, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those
specifically listed below and those contained in Champion's reports previously
filed with the SEC, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those included in the forward looking statements.

Long-term growth in the manufactured housing industry (wholesale and retail) may
be affected by: (1) the relative cost of manufactured housing versus other forms
of housing; (2) general economic trends, including inflation and unemployment
rates, consumer confidence, job growth and interest rates; (3) changes in
demographics, including new household formations and the number of Americans on
fixed income; (4) the availability and cost of financing for manufactured homes;
(5) changes in government regulations and policies, including HUD regulations,
local building codes and zoning regulations; and (6) changes in regional markets
and the U.S. economy as a whole. Short-term sales could be affected by inclement
weather and inventory levels of manufactured housing retailers. Fluctuations in
interest rates may affect the demand for manufactured housing to the extent that
those changes reduce job growth, slow the U.S. economy, or cause a loss in
consumer confidence.

The profitability of the registrant may also be affected by: (1) its ability to
efficiently expand operations and to utilize production capacity; (2) its
ability to pass increased raw material costs, particularly lumber, insulation
and drywall costs, on to its customers; (3) market share position; (4) growth in
the manufactured housing industry as a whole; (5) the results of its
acquisitions; and (6) strength of retail distribution.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
expected, estimated or projected. The registrant does not undertake to update
its forward looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or
circumstances.

The cyclical and seasonal nature of the housing market may cause fluctuations in
operating results.

The housing market historically has been highly cyclical and seasonal and
subject to volatility in quarterly operating results. The housing market is
influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors,
including consumer confidence, interest rates, availability of financing,
regional population and employment trends and general economic conditions,
including recessions. The housing industry generally experiences lower sales in
the first and fourth calendar quarters of the year primarily as a result of the
effect of adverse weather on construction, manufacturing, distribution and sales
efforts, as well as retail sales and setups. The registrant may, in


<PAGE>   16


certain periods, be affected by these economic and seasonal trends and cannot be
assured that the housing market will not experience future declines or that such
declines will not have a material adverse effect on business.

Future results of operations are dependent upon the ability to assimilate the
operations of acquisitions.

During the past five years the registrant has significantly expanded its
manufactured housing production operations through acquisitions, with nine
acquisitions of manufactured housing companies since 1994. Champion also has
significantly expanded its retail operations with 282 retail sales locations in
28 states as of July 3, 1999, compared to 22 sales locations at January 3, 1998.
Future results of operations are dependent, in part, upon the ability of
management to assimilate the operations of recent acquisitions, as well as any
future acquisitions and to oversee these expanded operations. The ability to
manage these and any future acquisitions will depend upon a number of factors,
including capital resources, ability to retain key employees and ability to
control operating and production costs. The registrant cannot be assured that it
will be successful in these efforts or that these efforts may not in certain
circumstances adversely affect operating results.

Champion depends on independent retailers.

During 1999, 86% of the registrant's wholesale shipments of homes were made to
approximately 3,500 independent retail locations throughout the U.S. and western
Canada. Some independent retailers operate multiple sales centers. As is common
in the industry, Champion's independent retailers may sell manufactured homes
produced by other manufacturers in addition to those produced by the registrant.
While the company believes that its relations with its independent retailers are
generally good, relationships with retailers are cancellable on short notice by
either party. The registrant cannot be assured that it will be able to maintain
these relations, that these retailers will continue to sell Champion homes or
that it will be able to attract and retain quality independent retailers.

Sales depend on the availability of retailer and consumer financing.

Champion's retailers and the retail purchasers of homes normally secure
financing from third-party lenders. The availability, interest rate and other
costs of such financing are dependent on the lending practices of financial
institutions, governmental policies and economic and other conditions, all of
which are beyond the registrant's control. Interest rates for manufactured home
loans are generally higher, and the terms of these loans shorter, than loans for
site-built homes. Additionally, manufactured home financing is at times more
difficult to obtain than conventional home mortgages. There can be no assurance
that affordable wholesale or retail financing for manufactured homes will
continue to be available on a widespread basis. If such financing were to become
unavailable, such unavailability could have a material adverse effect on results
of operations.


The registrant could be adversely impacted by contingent liabilities.


<PAGE>   17


As is customary in the manufactured housing industry, most retailers finance
their purchases through floor plan arrangements under which a financial
institution provides the retailer with a loan for the purchase price of the home
and maintains a security interest in the home as collateral. In connection with
a floor plan arrangement, the financial institution which provides the retailer
financing customarily requires the registrant to enter into a separate
repurchase agreement with the financial institution under which Champion is
obligated, upon default by the retailer and repossession by the financial
institution, to repurchase a home in an amount equal to the unpaid loan balance
for the home, plus certain administrative and handling expenses, reduced by the
amount of any damage to the home. The maximum potential repurchase obligation at
July 3, 1999 was $900 million, exclusive of any resale value. Losses incurred in
connection with these agreements in 1994 through 1998 were immaterial and
estimated losses are provided for currently. In 1998, Champion repurchased 165
homes and recorded a loss on resale of approximately $120,000 in connection with
these repurchases. Champion cannot be assured that it will not suffer losses
with respect to, and as a consequence of, these financing arrangements.

Growth may be limited by the availability of manufactured housing sites.

Any limitation on the growth of the number of sites for placement of
manufactured homes or on the operation of manufactured housing communities could
adversely affect the manufactured housing business. Manufactured housing
communities and individual home placements are subject to local zoning
ordinances and other local regulations relating to utility service and
construction of roadways. In the past, property owners often have resisted the
adoption of zoning ordinances permitting the location of manufactured homes in
residential areas, which the registrant believes has adversely affected the
growth of the industry. Champion cannot be assured that manufactured homes will
receive widespread acceptance or that localities will adopt zoning ordinances
permitting the location of manufactured home areas. The inability of the
manufactured home industry to gain such acceptance and zoning ordinances could
have a material adverse effect on results of operations.
