PART I.

Item 1. Business

General

We were formed in 1977 and are one of the leading manufacturers and marketers of factory-built homes in the United States. We market nationwide through vertically integrated operations, encompassing manufactured and
modular housing, chattel and mortgage bank financing as well as insurance. At March 31, 2006, we operated 18 manufacturing facilities in nine states that sell homes in 32 states through 116 of our company-owned retail superstores and builder
locations and approximately 350 independent retail dealers, builders and developers. Through our 80% owned subsidiary, CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd., we offer chattel and non-conforming land/home loans to purchasers of manufactured homes. Through our
investment as the sole limited partner in BSM Financial L.P., we offer conforming and non-conforming mortgages. The loans originated through CountryPlace are held for our own investment portfolio and ultimately securitized whereas the mortgages
originated through BSM are immediately sold in traditional secondary markets. We provide property and casualty insurance for owners of manufactured homes through our subsidiary, Standard Casualty Company.

Beginning in 1999, the manufactured housing industry entered a cyclical downturn as the result of the tightening of credit standards, limited retail and
wholesale financing availability, increased levels of repossessions, excessive retail inventory levels and manufacturing capacities. This is evidenced by a 58% decrease in industry-wide shipments of manufactured homes from calendar year 1999 to
calendar year 2005. During this time, our manufactured housing shipments declined 49%.

With the manufactured housing industry not showing
any signs of recovery, we decided to diversify our operations by entering the modular home business and acquired Nationwide Homes in June 2002. We have since added modular production to nine of our manufactured housing facilities. Industry-wide
shipments of modular homes have increased 20% from calendar year 2002 to calendar year 2005. During this time, our modular home shipments increased 243%. Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations further explains the impacts of these conditions on our operating results.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) contracted with various factory-built homebuilders to produce and deliver approximately 21,000 manufactured homes in connection with its Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. As a result of our contract with
FEMA, we produced and delivered 583 homes totaling $15.9 million in net sales during fiscal 2006. Excluding the shipments to FEMA, manufactured housing industry shipments have been flat at a 44-year industry low for calendar years ended 2003, 2004
and 2005.

Factory-Built Operations

Our factory-built operations consist of the production and sale of manufactured homes and modular homes. Our manufactured homes are constructed in accordance with the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD
regulations). Approximately 80% of the homes we produced in fiscal 2006, including 583 single-section homes sold to FEMA, were built to HUD regulations. The remaining 20% of homes we produced were modular homes, which are built in accordance with
state or local building codes.

The following table sets forth the total factory-built homes sold as well as the number of manufacturing
facilities we operated for the fiscal years indicated:

The principal materials used in the production of our factory-built homes include wood, wood products,
gypsum wallboard, steel, fiberglass insulation, carpet, vinyl, fasteners, appliances, electrical items, windows and doors. We believe that the materials used in the production of our factory-built homes are readily available from a wide variety of
suppliers and the loss of any single supplier would not have a material adverse effect on our business. The two suppliers which accounted for more than 5% of our total purchases during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 represented 11.4% and
5.8%, respectively, of our total purchases during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Prices of certain materials such as lumber, gypsum, steel and insulation can fluctuate significantly due to changes in supply and demand. Although we and
others in the industry typically have been able to pass higher material costs on to the consumer through price increases, such increases typically lag the escalation of material costs. No assurances can be made that we will be able to pass these
costs on in future years.

We received the 2006 Manufactured Housing Institutes (MHI) National Industry Award for Manufacturer
of the Year in April 2006. MHI is the national trade organization representing all segments of the manufactured and modular housing industry, including manufacturers, retailers, community owners, suppliers, financial institutions, state
associations and developers. All MHI members were eligible to vote in the selection process, making this award one of the most prestigious honors bestowed in the industry.

Manufactured Homes

We manufacture
single and multi-section manufactured homes under various brand names including Palm Harbor, Masterpiece, Keystone,
CountryPlace, River Bend and Windsor Homes.
Approximately 86% of the manufactured homes we produced in fiscal 2006 were multi-section as compared to 94% in fiscal 2005. Excluding the 583 single-section homes we produced for FEMA, 94% of the homes we produced in fiscal 2006 were multi-section.
We offer over 600 floor plans, ranging in size from approximately 800 to 3,200 square feet. Approximately 90% of the manufactured homes we produce are structurally or decoratively customized to the homebuyers specifications. Although we
produce a wide price range of manufactured homes, the average retail sales price (excluding land) of our manufactured homes was approximately $74,000 during fiscal 2006.

Our homes are manufactured in indoor facilities, which have approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space and employ an average of 230 associates who generally work one shift per day, five days per week.
Construction of our homes is performed in stages using an assembly-line process. Each section is permanently attached to a steel support chassis, various components such as floors, interior and exterior walls and a roof are added and function
testing is performed. We currently manufacture a typical manufactured home in approximately five days. Our facilities have the capacity to produce an aggregate of approximately 100 sections per day. The current rate of production is 65 sections per
day.

Our typical manufactured home contains two to five bedrooms, a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, two or three bathrooms
and features central air conditioning and heating, a range, refrigerator, carpeting and drapes. In addition, we offer optional amenities, including dishwashers, washers, dryers, furniture packages and specialty cabinets, as well as a wide range of
colors, moldings and finishes. Optional features usually associated with site-built homes such as stone fireplaces, ceramic tile floors, showers and countertops, computer rooms, skylights, vaulted ceilings and whirlpool baths are also offered. We
have a unique package of energy saving construction features referred to as EnerGmiser which includes, among other things, additional insulation to reduce heating and cooling costs, which exceeds statutorily-mandated energy efficiency levels. We were recognized as a
leader in energy-efficient construction when we received the 2006 Gold EnergyValue Housing Award in the factory-built home/hot climate category by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center.

We are constantly introducing new floor plans, decors, exteriors, features and accessories to appeal to changing trends in different regions of the
country. Our manufactured homes are designed and copyrighted after extensive field research and consumer feedback. We have developed engineering systems which, through the use of computer-aided technology, permit customization of homes and assist
with product development and enhancement.

The completed manufactured homes are transported by independent trucking companies to either the retail
sales center or to the customers site. The transportation cost is borne by the independent retailer. Retailers or other independent installers are responsible for placing the manufactured home on site, joining the interior and exterior seams,
making utility hook-ups and, in certain instances, providing installation and finish-out services. The industry practice is to have third parties hired by the retailer provide the installation and finish-out services. Our associates, rather than
third parties, perform the installation and finish out services on manufactured homes sold. We believe our finish-out services ensure that our quality procedures are applied during the entire process and increase customer satisfaction, thereby
providing us a competitive advantage.

Our backlog of manufactured housing orders as of May 30, 2006 was approximately $23.2 million,
as compared to approximately $37.0 million as of June 2, 2005. Since retailers may cancel orders prior to production without penalty, we do not consider our order backlog to be firm orders; however, such cancellations rarely occur. Because of
the seasonality of the manufactured housing market, the level of backlog generally declines during the winter months.

Modular Homes

We manufacture modular homes through our wholly owned subsidiary, Nationwide Custom Homes, Inc. Nationwide operates two facilities in
Martinsville, Virginia, one in Arabi, Georgia, and one in Siler City, North Carolina. In addition, nine of our manufactured housing facilities produce modular homes principally under the brand name Discovery Custom Homes. We produce a wide price
range of modular homes with an average retail sales price (excluding land) of $149,000 during fiscal 2006.

Our modular homes include
single story ranch homes, split-levels, cape cods and two and three story homes. Like a manufactured home, a typical modular home contains the standard rooms and features and offers optional amenities, decors, exteriors and floor plans.

Each modular home is assembled in sections. The process begins on a production line where a team of assemblers creates the floor and walls of the
house. The section is then wheeled down a tracked path where various stages of finish are performed and components are addedfrom wiring and insulation early in the process to fixtures and floor coverings just prior to shipping. Modular homes
are typically completed in one to two weeks.

The homes are shipped directly off the manufacturing line to the customers site. Once
on site, the homes are typically crane set on the foundation, the roof is raised and the final seam of roof shingles along the ridges of the roofline is applied.

We have won various awards for our modular product during the past year including a design award from the National Modular Housing Council for Best Modular Home (over 1,800 square feet)Production
Category for our Cambria model and the Ohio Manufactured Housing Association Award for Outstanding Modular Manufacturer of the Year for enhancing the image of the manufactured and modular homes industry through outstanding customer service and
business practices.

Our backlog of modular orders as of May 30, 2006, was approximately $54.9 million, as compared to approximately
$47.1 million as of June 2, 2005.

Retail

Our homes are sold through a distribution network consisting of retail superstores we own and independent dealers, builders and developers. We had a shift in our distribution network from 71% to 60% to 50% of our
homes being sold by our company-owned superstores and builder locations from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006, respectively. Excluding the 583 homes sold to FEMA in fiscal 2006, 54% of our homes were sold by

our company-owned superstores and builder locations. As we have executed our planned strategy of increasing sales of our modular homes, the percentage of
homes sold to independent dealers, builders and developers has increased. The following table sets forth the number of homes we sold through each of these distribution channels, as well as the number of company-owned retail superstores and
independent dealers, builders and developers during the past three fiscal years:

|(1) | Includes 583 homes sold to FEMA in fiscal 2006.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------

We first
established company-owned retail superstores in 1992 and currently have 112 superstores in 19 states. A typical retail superstore consists of a sales office, which is a manufactured home, and factory-built model homes of various sizes, floor plans,
features and prices. Currently, 78 of our retail superstores have modular model homes on display and many of our retail superstores also sell used and repossessed homes. Customers may purchase one of the model homes or may order a home that will be
built at one of our manufacturing facilities and customized to meet their needs.

Through Nationwide, we have four builder locations in
Virginia and North Carolina. Our typical builder location consists of a modular model home which serves as a sales office.

Our independent
retailer network principally consists of local dealers and builders that market land/home packages and developers of communities. No single independent retailer accounted for 5% or more of our net sales during fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Independent Builders and Developers

Approximately
53% of the modular homes we sold in fiscal 2006 were sold through Nationwides independent distribution network, which consists of approximately 135 local builders and developers with whom we have developed relationships through direct
marketing, trade shows, the Internet and referrals. Nationwide transports the home to the builders/developers site and the builder/developer contracts crews to lift the home with a crane onto its foundation and subsequently perform the
finish-out services. Modular homes typically require a larger amount of work to be done on-site to complete the production of the homes. Currently nine of our manufactured housing facilities also build modular homes and sell homes directly to
builders and developers. Approximately 13% of the modular homes we sold in fiscal 2006 were sold from these nine facilities directly to builders and developers.

General Contractors

During fiscal 2005, we began to serve as a general contractor for both manufactured and modular homes
with respect to virtually all aspects of the sale and construction process in certain regions of the country. This could include foundation work, driveways, landscape installations and other amenities the customer requests in addition to the home.
We anticipate expanding this role to additional geographic regions in future periods. During fiscal year 2006, we completed 517 jobs for our company-owned superstores and builder locations and 352 for independent dealers, builders and developers.

The two states which accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues were Florida and Texas with
27.4% and 19.7%, respectively, of total revenues.

Factory-built housing, which consists of manufactured housing and modular housing, is a
regional business and the primary geographic market is within a 250-mile radius for a manufactured housing facility and within a one to two day drive for a modular housing facility. Each of our manufactured housing facilities typically serves 25 to
100 retailers, and the facility sales staff maintains personal contact with each retailer, whether company-owned or independent. Our decentralized operations allow us to be more responsive in addressing regional customer preferences of product
innovation and home design.

Consumer Financing

We maintain relationships with conventional lenders who provide two basic types of consumer financing in the factory-built housing industry: chattel or personal property loans for purchasers of a home with no real estate involved and
land/home and mortgage loans which finance the land, home and all improvements on the property. There are two types of mortgage loansconforming and non-conforming. Conforming loans conform to FHA, VA, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae standards.
Generally, the type of required foundations installed must conform to Federal requirements and the borrower must meet certain criteria. Non-conforming loans are financed by a major bank or lending institution which does not require a specific
foundation type and have more flexible criteria. Beginning in fiscal 2000 and continuing through fiscal 2006, many consumer lenders have tightened credit-underwriting standards which has resulted in reduced lending volumes and lower sales volumes of
manufactured homes.

Some of our customers obtain third-party construction financing, which allows for progress payments to be made to us
at periodic intervals during the manufacturing, sale and closing process. This type of financing is primarily available to those customers obtaining land/home and mortgage loans, which finance the land, home and improvements of a piece of real
property. Such third-party construction financing through our customers is generally more advantageous to us in that the cash is received earlier and can be used for various corporate purposes.

In addition, we provide financing to our customers on competitive terms through our 80% owned subsidiary, CountryPlace, and our investment as the sole
limited partner in BSM. Through CountryPlace, we offer customary chattel loans and non-conforming land/home loans for manufactured homes. Through BSM, we offer conforming and non-conforming mortgage financing for both modular and manufactured homes.
The loans originated through CountryPlace are held for our own investment portfolio and ultimately securitized whereas the mortgages originated through BSM are immediately sold in traditional secondary markets. We believe that providing these
financing alternatives to our customers improves our responsiveness to the financing needs of prospective purchasers and provides us with an additional source of earnings.

Insurance

We offer property and casualty insurance as well as extended warranties for owners of manufactured homes through our subsidiary, Standard Casualty. During fiscal 2006, 58% and 90% of homeowners who purchased a home through our own retail
superstores purchased property and casualty insurance and extended warranties, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2006, Standard Casualty had approximately 10,500 policies in force.

Wholesale Financing

In accordance with factory-built housing industry practice, substantially all
retailers finance a portion of their purchases of manufactured homes through wholesale floor plan financing arrangements. Under a typical floor plan financing arrangement, 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. The financial institution which provides financing to the retailer customarily requires us to enter into a separate repurchase agreement with the financial
institution under which we are obligated, upon default by the retailer and under certain other circumstances, to repurchase the financed home at declining prices over the term of the repurchase agreement (which generally ranges from 12 to 18
months). The price at which we may be obligated to repurchase a home under these agreements is based upon our original invoice price plus certain administrative and shipping expenses. Our obligation under these repurchase agreements ceases upon the
purchase of the home by the retail customer.

The risk of loss under such repurchase agreements is mitigated by the fact that
(i) approximately 50% of our homes are sold to independent dealers, builders and developers; (ii) a majority of the homes we sell to independent dealers, builders and developers are pre-sold to specific retail customers; (iii) we
monitor each dealers, builders and retailers inventory position on a regular basis; (iv) sales of our manufactured homes are spread over a large number of dealers, builders and developers; (v) none of our independent
dealers, builders and developers accounted for more than 5% of our net sales in fiscal 2006; (vi) the price we are obligated to pay declines over time and (vii) we are, in most cases, able to resell homes repurchased from credit sources in
the ordinary course of business without incurring significant losses. We estimate that our potential obligations under such repurchase agreements were approximately $25.7 million as of March 31, 2006. During the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2006, March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, we incurred losses under these repurchase agreements totaling $157,000, $65,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Beginning in fiscal 2000, lenient credit standards, which had facilitated increased industry-wide wholesale shipments in previous years, tightened,
resulting in declining wholesale shipments, declining margins and lower retail sales levels for most industry participants through fiscal 2006. During this time, several major floor plan lenders have exited the wholesale financing business and a
number of regional banks have either entered the retail financing business or increased their lending volumes.

Competition

The factory-built housing industry is highly competitive at both the manufacturing and retail levels, with competition based upon several factors,
including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, depth of field inventory, promotion, merchandising and the terms of retail customer financing. In addition, manufactured and modular homes compete with new and existing
site-built homes, as well as apartments, townhouses and condominiums. The efficiency of the assembly-line process, protection from the weather and nationwide purchasing power enable us to produce a home in approximately one to two weeks and
typically at a lower cost than a conventional site-built home of similar quality. We do not view any of our competitors as being dominant in the industry, although some of our competitors possess substantially greater manufacturing, distribution and
marketing resources than us.

Although many lenders to the factory-built housing industry have reduced their volume or gone out of
business, there are still competitors to CountryPlace and BSM in the markets where we do business. These competitors include national, regional and local banks, independent finance companies, mortgage brokers and mortgage banks. None of these
competitors is considered to be dominant or to have a material impact on the financing opportunities at CountryPlace or BSM.

Business Segment Information

We operate principally in two segments: (1) factory-built housing, which includes manufactured housing, modular housing and retail operations and (2) financial services, which includes finance and insurance.
See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for information on our net sales, income (loss) from operations, identifiable assets, depreciation and amortization expense and capital expenditures
by segment for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Government Regulation

Our factory-built homes are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws, codes and regulations. Construction of our manufactured homes is governed by the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety
Standards Act of 1974, as amended (the Home Construction Act). In 1976, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued regulations under the Home Construction Act establishing comprehensive national construction standards. The HUD
regulations, known collectively as the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, cover all aspects of manufactured home construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, wind loads, thermal protection and ventilation.
Such regulations preempt conflicting state and local regulations on such matters, and are subject to continual change. Our manufacturing facilities and the plans and specifications of our manufactured homes have been approved by a HUD-certified
inspection agency. Further, an independent HUD-certified third-party inspector regularly reviews our manufactured homes for compliance with the HUD regulations during construction. Failure to comply with applicable HUD regulations could expose us to
a wide variety of sanctions, including mandated closings of our manufacturing facilities. We believe our manufactured homes meet or surpass all present HUD requirements. Our modular homes are subject to state and/or local codes with certification
and regulation and we believe our modular homes meet all state and/or local codes.

Manufactured and site-built homes are all typically
built with some products that contain formaldehyde resins. Since February 1985, HUD has regulated the allowable concentrations of formaldehyde in certain products used in manufactured homes and requires manufacturers to warn purchasers as to
formaldehyde-associated risks. The Environmental Protection Agency and other governmental agencies have in the past evaluated the effects of formaldehyde. We use materials in our manufactured homes that meet HUD standards for formaldehyde emissions
and believe we comply with HUD and other applicable government regulations in this regard.

The transportation of factory-built 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.

Our manufactured homes are subject to local zoning and housing regulations. In certain cities and counties in areas where our homes are sold, local
governmental ordinances and regulations have been enacted which restrict the placement of manufactured homes on privately-owned land or which require the placement of manufactured homes in manufactured home communities. Such ordinances and
regulations may adversely affect our ability to sell homes for installation in communities where they are in effect. A number of states have adopted procedures governing the installation of manufactured homes. Utility connections are subject to
state and local regulation and must be complied with by the retailer or other person installing the home. Our modular homes are also subject to local zoning regulations which govern the placement of homes.

Certain of our warranties may be subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, which regulates the descriptions of
warranties on products. The description and substance of our warranties are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations. A number of states require manufactured home producers to post bonds to ensure the satisfaction of consumer warranty
claims.

A variety of laws affect the financing of the homes we manufacture. The Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (Truth-in-Lending)
and Regulation Z promulgated thereunder require written disclosure of



7



---

##### Table of Contents

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 Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Regulation X promulgated thereunder require certain disclosures regarding the nature and costs of real estate settlements. 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. Installment sales contracts eligible for inclusion in a Government National Mortgage Association
program are subject to the credit underwriting requirements of the Federal Housing Association. A variety of state laws also regulate the form of the installment sale contracts or financing documents and the allowable deposits, finance charge and
fees chargeable pursuant to installment sale contracts or financing documents. Our sale of insurance products is subject to various state insurance laws and regulations which govern allowable charges and other insurance practices.

Our operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation
and discharge of materials into the environment. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations may result in the payment of fines, the entry of injunctions or both. The requirements of such laws
and enforcement policies have generally become more strict in recent years. Accordingly, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with environmental laws and enforcement policies. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Palm Harbors insurance operations are regulated by the state insurance boards where they underwrite their policies. Underwriting,
premiums, investments and capital reserves are subject to the rules and regulations of these state agencies.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal. Generally we experience higher sales volume during the months of March through October. Our sales are slower during the winter
months and shipments can be delayed in areas of the country that experience harsh weather conditions.

Associates

As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately 5,000 associates. All of our associates are non-union. We have not experienced any labor-related work
stoppages and believe that our relationship with our associates is good.

Financing for our retail customers may be limited, which could affect our sales volume.

Our retail customers generally secure financing from third party lenders, which have been negatively affected by adverse loan
experience. Several major lenders, which had previously provided financing for our customers, have withdrawn from the manufactured housing finance business. Reduced availability of such financing is currently having an adverse effect on the
manufactured housing business and our home sales. Availability of financing is dependent on the lending practices of financial institutions, financial markets, governmental policies and economic conditions, all of which are largely beyond our
control. Quasi-governmental agencies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are important purchasers of loans from financial institutions, have tightened standards relating to the manufactured housing loans that they will buy. Most states
classify manufactured homes as personal property rather than real property for purposes of taxation and lien perfection, and interest rates for manufactured homes are generally higher and the terms of the loans shorter than for site-built homes.
Financing for the purchase of manufactured homes is often more difficult to obtain than conventional home mortgages. There can be no assurance that affordable retail financing for manufactured homes will continue to be available on a widespread
basis. If third party financing were to become unavailable or were to be further restricted, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If CountryPlace is unable to adequately and timely service its loans, it may adversely affect its results of operations.

Although CountryPlace has originated loans since 1995, it has limited loan servicing and collections experience. In 2002, it implemented new systems to service and collect the portfolio of loans it originates. The
management of CountryPlace has industry experience in managing, servicing and collecting loan portfolios; however, many borrowers require notices and reminders to keep their loans current and to prevent delinquencies and foreclosures. If there is a
substantial increase in the delinquency rate that results from improper servicing or loan performance, the profitability and cash flow from the loan portfolio could adversely affect CountryPlaces ability to continue to securitize its loans.

If CountryPlaces customers are unable to repay their loans, CountryPlace may be adversely affected.

CountryPlace makes loans to borrowers that it believes are creditworthy based on its credit guidelines. However, the ability of these customers to repay
their loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | national, regional and local economic conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural hazard risks affecting the region in which the borrower resides;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | employment, financial or life circumstances; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rising energy costs.
| | - |  | --------------------

If customers do not repay their
loans, the profitability and cash flow from the loan portfolio could adversely affect CountryPlaces ability to continue to securitize its loans.

If CountryPlace is unable to continue to securitize its loans, it will be required to seek other sources of long-term funding, which funding may not be available.

The loans that are originated by CountryPlace are funded with proceeds from its warehouse borrowing facility and borrowings from us. On July 12,
2005, CountryPlace successfully completed its initial securitization

##### Table of Contents

for approximately $141.0 million of loans which were funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $118.4 million. We anticipate CountryPlace will continue
to securitize its loans as a primary source of funding. The proceeds from future securitizations will be used to repay any borrowings from the warehouse facility and from us, as well as to originate new loans. The securitization market is dependent
upon a number of factors, including general economic conditions, conditions in the securities market generally and conditions in the asset-backed securities market specifically. Although the asset-backed securitization market for manufactured
housing lenders has improved slightly in the past year in terms of access to the markets, as well as pricing and credit enhancement levels, poor performance of any loans we may securitize in the future could harm our future access to the
securitization market. If CountryPlace is unable to continue to securitize its loans on terms that are economical, or if there is a decline in the securitization market for manufactured housing loans, and if CountryPlace is unable to obtain
additional sources of long-term funding, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

Increased prices and unavailability of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our results of operations
can be affected by the pricing and availability of raw materials. In fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004 we experienced an increase in the average prices of our raw materials of 5%, 6% and 14%, respectively. Although we attempt to increase the sales prices
of our homes in response to higher materials costs, such increases typically lag behind the escalation of materials costs. Many of the most important raw materials used in our operations have experienced significant price fluctuations in the past
three fiscal years. Although we have not experienced any shortage of such building materials today, there can be no assurance that sufficient supplies of lumber, gypsum wallboard and insulation, as well as other materials, will continue to be
available to us on terms we regard as satisfactory.

Reduced availability of wholesale financing may adversely affect our inventory levels of new homes.

We finance a portion of our new inventory at our retail superstores through wholesale floor plan financing arrangements.
Through these arrangements, financial institutions provide us with a loan for the purchase price of the home. Since the beginning of the industry downturn in 1999, several major floor plan lenders have exited the floor plan financing business.
Although we currently have a floor plan facility with a financial institution totaling $70 million, there can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to such a facility or that we will not be forced to reduce our new home inventory at
our retail superstores.

Our repurchase agreements with floor plan lenders could result in increased costs.

In accordance with customary practice in the factory-built housing industry, we enter into repurchase agreements with various financial institutions
pursuant to which we agree, in the event of a default by an independent dealer, builder or developer in its obligation to these credit sources, to repurchase factory-built homes at declining prices over the term of the agreements, typically 12 to 18
months. The difference between the gross repurchase price and the price at which the repurchased home can then be resold, which is typically at a discount to the original sale price, is an expense to us. Thus, if we were obligated to repurchase a
large number of factory-built homes in the future, this would increase our costs, which could have a negative effect on our earnings. Tightened credit standards by lenders and more aggressive attempts to accelerate collection of outstanding accounts
with independent dealers, builders and developers could result in defaults by independent dealers, builders and developers and consequently repurchase obligations on our part may be higher than has historically been the case. During fiscal 2006,
2005 and 2004, our losses incurred under these repurchase agreements totaled $157,000, $65,000 and $6,000, respectively.

We are dependent on our
principal executive officer and the loss of his service could adversely affect us.

We are dependent to a significant extent upon the
efforts of our principal executive officer, Larry H. Keener, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of our principal executive officer could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Our continued growth is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional skilled management personnel.

We are controlled by two shareholders, who may determine the outcome of all elections.

Approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned or controlled by our Chairman Emeritus, Lee Posey and Capital Southwest
Corporation and its affiliates. As a result, these shareholders, acting together, are able to determine the outcome of elections of our directors and thereby control the management of our business.

If inflation increases, we may not be able to offset inflation through increased selling prices.

If there is a material increase in inflation in the future, it is unlikely that we will be able to increase our selling prices to completely offset the
material increase in inflation and as a result, our operating results may be adversely affected.

The manufactured housing industry is
highly competitive and some of our competitors have stronger balance sheets and cash flow, as well as greater access to capital, than we do. As a result of these competitive conditions, we may not be able to sustain past levels of sales or
profitability.

The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive, with relatively low barriers to entry. Manufactured and modular
homes compete with new and existing site-built homes and to a lesser degree, with apartments, townhouses and condominiums. Competition exists at both the manufacturing and retail levels and is based primarily on price, product features, reputation
for service and quality, retailer promotions, merchandising and terms of consumer financing. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, distribution and marketing resources than we do. As a result of these
competitive conditions, we may not be able to sustain past levels of sales or profitability.

If our retail customers are unable to obtain insurance for
factory-built homes, our sales volume and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We sell our factory-built homes to retail
customers located throughout the United States including in coastal areas, such as Florida. In fiscal 2006, 27.4% of our revenues were generated in Florida. Some of our retail customers in these areas have experienced difficulty obtaining insurance
for our factory-built homes due to adverse weather-related events in these areas, primarily hurricanes. If our retail customers face continued and increased difficulty in obtaining insurance for the homes we build, our sales volume and results of
operations may be adversely affected.

Our business is highly cyclical and there may be significant fluctuations in our quarterly results.

The factory-built housing industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and has experienced wide fluctuations in aggregate sales in the
past. We are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors beyond our control such as:



| |  |  | access to capital markets;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | the level and stability of interest rates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unemployment trends;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | the availability of retail financing;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of wholesale financing;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of homeowners insurance in coastal markets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | housing supply and demand;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | industry availability of used or repossessed manufactured homes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | international tensions and hostilities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------

| |  |  | regulatory and zoning matters; and

| |  |  | changes in general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------

Sales in our
industry are also seasonal in nature, with sales of homes traditionally being stronger in the spring, summer and fall months. The cyclical and seasonal nature of our business causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate and makes it
difficult for management to forecast sales and profits in uncertain times. As a result of seasonal and cyclical downturns, results from any quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.

We are concentrated geographically, which could harm our business.

In fiscal 2006, 27.4% of our revenues were generated in Florida and 19.7% of our revenues were generated in Texas. A decline in the demand for factory-built housing in these two states and/or a decline in the
economies of these two states could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are a limited partner in BSM Financial, L.P. and if
its business is adversely affected, our results of operations may also be adversely affected.

We have an investment of approximately
$4.7 million in a mortgage banking firm, BSM Financial L.P. Through our investment as the sole limited partner in BSM, we offer conforming and non-conforming mortgages. As a limited partner, we do not have the legal authority to manage or control
BSMs operations. Therefore, if BSMs operations are not financially successful or their portfolio does not perform as expected, our results of operations may also be adversely affected and we could lose some or all of our investment in
BSM.

In
addition to our production facilities, we currently own 38 properties upon which 29 of our active retail superstores are located. We also lease approximately 48,000 square feet of office space in Addison, Texas for our corporate headquarters. Our
corporate headquarters lease expires in 2013.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

In late 1992, we removed an underground storage tank formerly used to store gasoline from the site of our Tempe, Arizona manufacturing facility. We are
currently working in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to assess and respond to gasoline related hydrocarbons detected in soil and groundwater at this site. Under certain circumstances, a state fund may be available to
compensate responsible parties for petroleum releases from underground storage tanks. We are evaluating the extent of the corrective action that



13

##### Table of Contents

may be necessary. Site characterization is complicated by the presence of contaminants associated with the Indian Bend Wash Area Superfund Site described
below. At this time, we do not expect that the costs of any corrective action or assessments related to the tank will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Tempe facility is partially located within a large area that has been identified by the EPA as the Indian Bend Wash Area Superfund Site. Under
federal law, certain persons known as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) may be held strictly liable on a joint and several basis for all cleanup costs and natural resource damages associated with the release of hazardous substances from a
facility. The average cost to clean up a site listed on the National Priorities List is over $30 million. The Indian Bend Superfund Site is listed on the National Priorities List. Groups of PRPs may include current owners and operators of a
facility, owners and operators of a facility at the time of disposal of hazardous substances, transporters of hazardous substance and those who arrange for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at a site. No government agency, including
the EPA, has indicated that we have been or will be named as a PRP or that we are otherwise responsible for the contamination present at the Indian Bend Superfund Site. In general, although no assurance can be given as to the future actions of
either the EPA or PRPs who may incur cleanup costs related to this site, we do not believe that our ownership of property partially located within the Indian Bend Superfund Site will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.

In 1994, we removed two underground storage tanks used to store petroleum substances from property we own in
Georgia. In November 2001, we received a letter from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources indicating no further action was necessary with respect to these storage tanks. The letter, however, did not preclude additional action by the State if
contaminants were found in adjoining properties. At this time, we do not expect that the costs of future assessment and corrective action related to the tanks will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On May 30, 2006, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
was $19.56. As of May 30, 2006, there were approximately 640 record holders of our common stock, and approximately 3,300 holders of the common stock overall based on an estimate of the number of individual participants represented by security
position listings.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our board of directors intends to retain any future earnings we
generate to support operations and to finance expansion and does not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the board of directors and
will depend upon a number of factors such as our earnings levels, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. Future loan agreements may or may not restrict or prohibit the payment of
dividends.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

We are one of the nations leading manufacturers and marketers of factory-built homes. We market nationwide through vertically
integrated operations, encompassing manufactured and modular housing, chattel and mortgage bank financing, as well as insurance. As of March 31, 2006, we operated 18 manufacturing facilities that sell homes through 116 company-owned retail
superstores and builder locations and approximately 350 independent retail dealers, builders and developers. Through our 80% owned subsidiary, CountryPlace, we offer chattel and non-conforming land/home loans to purchasers of manufactured homes.
Through our investment as the 50% sole limited partner in BSM, we offer conforming and non-conforming mortgages for both modular and manufactured homes. The loans originated through CountryPlace are held for our own investment portfolio and
ultimately securitized whereas the mortgages originated through BSM are immediately sold in traditional secondary markets. We also provide property and casualty insurance for owners of manufactured homes through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard
Casualty.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) contracted with Palm Harbor
to purchase all of our retail inventory of single-section homes at wholesale prices. Additionally, we received a purchase order from FEMA to produce and deliver 400 single-section housing units by December 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, we
had shipped 583 homes totaling $15.9 million in net sales to FEMA.

On July 12, 2005, through our subsidiary CountryPlace, we
successfully completed our initial securitization for approximately $141.0 million of loans, which were funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $118.4 million. The assets are chattel loans originated by company-owned retail locations with the
collateral being primarily Palm Harbor manufactured homes built in company-owned factories. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for further details on this transaction.

The securitization completes another step towards our strategy of expanding our consumer financing capabilities through CountryPlace and our
partnership in BSM. During fiscal 2006, CountryPlace originated 824 loans and BSM originated 15,722 mortgages, 912 of which were for Palm Harbor customers. For fiscal 2006, 41% of our retail customers were financed by either CountryPlace or BSM.

During fiscal 2005, we began to serve as a general contractor for both manufactured and modular homes with respect to virtually all
aspects of the sale and construction process in certain regions of the country. This could include foundation work, driveways, landscape installations and other amenities the customer requests in addition to the home. We anticipate expanding this
role to additional geographic regions in future periods. During fiscal year 2006, we completed 517 jobs for our company-owned superstores and builder locations and 352 for independent dealers, builders and developers.

While the manufactured housing industry is still in a downturn as a result of the tightening of credit standards that began in 1999, the modular housing
industry has many growth opportunities. The modular buyer is typically attracted from the site-built market, rather than the manufactured housing market and therefore has more financing alternatives available to them. There are also more
opportunities to vary the exterior look of the house with modular homes as the state and local codes are less restricting than HUD code. Also, modular homes have more options for placement of the home.

Our modular products continued to gain momentum during fiscal 2006 due to the favorable response from dealers and builders. Revenues from our modular
products were up approximately 33 percent from fiscal 2005 and now account for over 23 percent of our recurring revenues. We expect this percentage to increase in future quarters.

The Companys fiscal year ends on the last Friday in March. Fiscal year 2006 was comprised of
53 weeks while fiscal years 2005 and 2004 were each comprised of 52 weeks. As a result, there was an approximately 1.9% increase in each of the categories discussed below in the 2006 compared to 2005 section of our results of operations.
As this change impacted all the income statement categories in a reasonably consistent manner, no separate discussion of this factor is included in this section, unless the impact of the applicable category varied from the increase described above.

2006 Compared to 2005

Net Sales.Net sales increased 16.4% to $710.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $610.5 million in fiscal 2005. Net sales for the factory-built housing segment increased $15.9 million due to selling 583 homes to FEMA and $80.5
million due to a 4.8% increase in new factory-built homes sold (excluding the 583 homes sold to FEMA), a shift in product mix to modular homes (23.5% of total factory-built revenues, excluding the $15.9 million of net sales to FEMA, in fiscal 2006
as compared to 20.1% in fiscal 2005) and an increase in the average selling price of new manufactured and modular homes. The 4.8% increase in homes sold stemmed from increased market

share and the increase in average selling prices resulted from customers purchasing larger, more complex homes as well as the pass through of higher raw
material costs. The average retail selling price of a new modular home increased 10.4% (from $135,000 in fiscal 2005 to $149,000 in fiscal 2006), the average wholesale selling price of a new modular home increased 8.5% (from $71,000 in fiscal 2005
to $77,000 in fiscal 2006) and the average wholesale selling price of a new manufactured home increased 10.9% (from $55,000 in fiscal 2005 to $61,000 in fiscal 2006). Financial services revenue increased $3.7 million reflecting an increase in
interest income at CountryPlace resulting from an increase in consumer loans receivable from $132.4 million at the end of fiscal 2005 to $163.1 million at the end of fiscal 2006.

Gross Profit. In fiscal 2006, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 26.1%, or $185.6 million, from 25.3%, or $134.5
million, in fiscal 2005. Gross profit for the factory-built housing segment increased $28.1 million from 23.1% of net sales in fiscal 2005 to 23.9% of net sales in fiscal 2006. This improvement reflects a strengthening of gross margin at our retail
superstores, reduced availability of repossessed homes at discounted prices and increased sales prices due to customers purchasing larger, more complex homes and our ability to pass through higher raw material costs. In addition, gross margin for
fiscal 2005 was reduced $2.7 million due to our closing 12 of our least productive sales centers and streamlining our retail operations. We were able to increase gross margin despite a decline in the internalization rate from 60% in fiscal 2005 to
50% in fiscal 2006. Gross profit for the financial services segment increased $2.9 million due to the increase in net sales as explained above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 22.7% in fiscal 2006 from 25.4% in fiscal 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $161.2 million in fiscal 2006 from $154.9 million in fiscal 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million for general corporate purposes, $1.9 million for factory-built housing and $0.8 million for financial
services. The increase in general corporate expenses is due primarily to increases in incentive based compensation as we return to profitability and the increase in factory-built housing expenses is due primarily to costs associated with our site
construction operations, costs related to hiring IT consultants as we make system enhancements and an increase in incentive based compensation as we return to profitability offset by a reduction in expenses resulting from operating fewer
company-owned retail superstores in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 (average number of open stores was 114 in fiscal 2006 compared to 130 in fiscal 2005).

Interest Expense.Interest expense increased 30.6% to $11.7 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $9.0 million in fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in fiscal 2006 of
interest expense incurred on the securitized loans offset by a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense incurred on the warehouse revolving debt. The warehouse revolving debt interest decreased due to a significant decline in the warehouse
revolving debt balance after $115.7 million of borrowings were repaid with proceeds from the securitization.

Equity in Earnings
(Loss) of Limited Partnership. Equity in earnings (loss) of limited partnership increased to $0.6 million of earnings in fiscal 2006 as compared to a $0.8 million loss in fiscal 2005. This increase is primarily due to our share of BSM
earnings increasing due to total originations of 15,722 in fiscal 2006 compared to 10,695 in fiscal 2005.

Interest Income and
Other.Interest income and other increased 20.2% to $5.0 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $4.2 million in fiscal 2005 primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in interest and dividend income earned on larger cash and cash
equivalents and available-for-sale investment balances as well as higher interest rates, offset by a $1.6 million decrease in income earned on a real estate investment.

Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense increased to $7.2 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to a benefit of $2.1 million in fiscal 2005. This increase is the result of pretax earnings of $18.3
million in fiscal 2006 versus a pretax loss of $5.9 million in fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate was 39.3% in fiscal 2006 compared to a credit of 35.6% in fiscal 2005.

2005 Compared to 2004

Net Sales.Net sales increased 5.5% to $610.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $578.5 million in fiscal 2004. Net sales for the factory-built housing segment increased $25.6 million primarily due to a shift
in product mix to modular homes which have a higher average selling price than manufactured homes ($135,000 for modular homes compared to $73,000 for manufactured homes). The number of modular homes sold during fiscal 2005 increased 43.7% compared
to fiscal 2004 and comprised 17.4% of total factory-built home sales in fiscal 2005 versus 11.7% in fiscal 2004. Financial services revenue increased $6.5 million reflecting an increase in the number of renewals of insurance policies at Standard
Casualty and an increase in interest income at CountryPlace resulting from an increase in consumer loans receivable from $96.7 million at the end of fiscal 2004 to $132.4 million at the end of fiscal 2005.

Gross Profit. In fiscal 2005, gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined to 25.3%, or $154.6 million, from 26.0%, or $150.6
million, in fiscal 2004. Gross profit for the factory-built housing segment decreased $2.2 million from 24.5% of net sales in fiscal 2004 to 23.1% of net sales in fiscal 2005. This decrease is principally the result of $2.7 million of charges
related to closing 12 of our least productive sales centers and streamlining our retail operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, the internalization rate, which is the percentage of factory-built homes we manufactured and sold
through our company-owned retail superstores and builder locations, decreased from 71% in fiscal 2004 to 60% in fiscal 2005. Gross profit for the financial services segment increased $6.1 million due to the increase in net sales as explained above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 25.4% in fiscal 2005 from 27.2% in fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $154.9 million in fiscal 2005 from $157.4 million in fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses for factory-built
housing decreased $1.5 million in fiscal 2005 due to a focus on reducing costs, offset by $1.9 million in charges associated with closing 12 under-performing sales centers. Selling, general and administrative expenses for general corporate purposes
decreased $1.8 million primarily resulting from a $0.7 million decrease in advertising costs, $0.8 million decrease in workers compensation reserves due to the reduction in our workforce several years ago, $0.5 million decrease in expenses related
to the long-term incentive plan which was modified in fiscal 2004, and $0.6 million decrease in salaries and bonuses offset by $0.6 million increase in expenses related to becoming Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for financial services increased $0.8 million primarily due to additional expenses related to commissions and amortization of debt issue costs associated with the expansion of CountryPlace.

Interest Expense.Interest expense increased 61.5% to $9.0 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $5.6 million in fiscal 2004. This increase
was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in interest expense incurred on the warehouse revolving debt and hedge facility and $2.4 million in interest expense incurred on the $75.0 million convertible senior notes that were issued during the
first quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase is offset by a $2.2 million reduction in flooring interest resulting from a decrease in the floor plan liability from $84.1 million at March 26, 2004 to $30.9 million at March 25, 2005.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Limited Partnership. Equity in earnings (loss) of limited partnership decreased 141.3% to a
$0.8 million loss in fiscal 2005 as compared to $1.8 million of earnings in fiscal 2004. This decrease is primarily due to our share of operating losses at BSM increasing due to a lesser number of mortgage refinance originations in fiscal 2005
compared to fiscal 2004.

Interest Income and Other.Interest income and other increased 189.2% to $4.2 million in
fiscal 2005 as compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2004 primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in income earned on a real estate investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $73.4 million at March 31, 2006, up from
$46.2 million at March 25, 2005. During fiscal 2006, net cash used in operating activities totaled $11.6 million and consisted of $59.2 million used for originating loans at CountryPlace and $21.1 million used to increase inventory as the
pipeline of

customer sold, but undelivered homes increased, offset by $21.9 million provided by principal payments on loans originated, and $28.2 million provided by an
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, resulting from increased customer deposits, as evidenced by our increase in backlog and traffic at our retail sales centers, and increases in our days payable outstanding and deferred revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities consisted of $1.4 million used for net purchases of property, plant and equipment and $3.2 million of net purchases of investments by Standard Casualty. Net proceeds from the securitized financing of $117.8
million and net proceeds on floor plan liabilities of $7.0 million were offset by net payments on the warehouse facility of $68.9 million and payments on securitized financing of $12.4 million to contribute to the $43.5 million in net cash provided
by financing activities.

We have an agreement with a financial institution for a $70.0 million floor plan facility. The advance rate for
the facility is 90% of manufacturers invoice. This facility is used to finance a portion of the new home inventory at our retail superstores and is secured by new home inventory and a portion of receivables from financial institutions. The
interest rate on the facility is prime (7.75% at March 31, 2006) or prime plus 1.0% to 3.0% for aged units, of which we have none as of March 31, 2006. The floor plan facility contains certain provisions requiring us to maintain minimum
amounts of liquidity, profitability, inventory turns and tangible net worth in order to borrow against the facility. As of March 31, 2006, we were in compliance with these provisions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we amended the
agreement with the financial institution to revise the minimum tangible net worth provision for fiscal 2006, to change the interest rate to prime plus 0.6% and to extend the expiration of the agreement from May 25, 2007 to March 30, 2009.
We had $37.9 million and $30.9 million outstanding under these floor plan credit facilities at March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, respectively.

On May 5, 2004, we issued $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the Notes) in a private, unregistered offering. Interest on the Notes is payable
semi-annually in May and November. On June 8, 2004, the initial purchaser of the Notes exercised its option to purchase an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. On September 15, 2004, for the benefit of the Note
holders, the Company filed a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to
all of our existing and future unsecured and senior indebtedness. Each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes is convertible, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $25.92, or 38.5803 shares of our common stock upon the satisfaction
of certain conditions and contingencies. For fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the effect of converting the senior notes to 2,894,000 shares of common stock was anti-dilutive, and was, therefore, not considered in determining diluted earnings per
share.

On July 12, 2005, our 80% owned subsidiary CountryPlace, completed its initial securitization for approximately $141.0 million
of loans, which was funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $118.4 million. The bonds were issued in four different classes: Class A-1 totaling $36.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.23%; Class A-2 totaling $27.4 million with a
coupon rate of 4.42%; Class A-3 totaling $27.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.80%; and Class A-4 totaling $27.4 million with a coupon rate of 5.20%. Maturity of the bonds is at varying dates beginning in 2006 through 2015 and were issued
with a weighted average maturity of 4.66 years. The proceeds from the securitization were used to repay approximately $115.7 million of borrowings on our warehouse revolving debt with the remaining proceeds being used for general corporate purposes,
including future origination of new loans. For accounting purposes, this transaction was structured as a securitized borrowing.

CountryPlace has an agreement with a financial institution for a warehouse borrowing facility to fund loans originated by CountryPlace. The facility is collateralized by specific consumer loans receivable pledged to the facility. The
facility terminates March 16, 2007; however, amounts outstanding under the facility are effectively settled and re-borrowed on a monthly basis. Upon renewal on March 17, 2006, the warehouse facility was amended to reduce the maximum
borrowing amount from $200.0 million to $125.0 million, increase the advance against the outstanding principle balance of eligible consumer loan receivables to 88%, and to provide for draws at an 80% advance rate against land-home loans in various
stages of completion. The interest rate remains LIBOR plus 1.25%. CountryPlace had outstanding borrowings under the warehouse facility of $37.4 million as of March 31, 2006 and $106.3 million as of March 25, 2005. The facility contains
certain requirements relating



21

##### Table of Contents

to the performance and composition of the consumer loans receivable pledged to the facility and financial covenants regarding maintenance of a certain loan
delinquency ratio, minimum ratio of liabilities to stockholders equity for CountryPlace and a minimum capitalization for CountryPlace, which is customary in the industry. As of March 31, 2006, CountryPlace was in compliance with these
requirements. As CountryPlace continues to expand and draw down on its warehouse facility, we will fund the difference between the amounts advanced under the warehouse borrowing facility and the balance of any additional loan originations. For
CountryPlace to increase its borrowings under the facility to the maximum $125.0 million, CountryPlace would have to originate an additional $100.4 million of new loans, of which $12.9 million would have to be funded through our operations.

Upon completion of the securitization, CountryPlace extinguished its interest rate swap agreement on $75.0 million of its variable rate
debt which was used to hedge against an increase in variable interest rates. The agreement previously fixed the interest rate on $75.0 million of CountryPlaces variable rate, long-term warehouse revolving debt to 4.07% per annum.
CountryPlace recorded the hedge instrument at fair value as of the end of each fiscal quarter with the effective offsetting portion of the hedge being recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if
any, of the hedge being recorded in our consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal 2006 and 2005, CountryPlace had no significant ineffectiveness. The fair value of the hedge upon its extinguishment in fiscal 2006 was immaterial.

CountryPlace currently intends to originate and hold loans for investment on a long-term basis. CountryPlace makes loans to borrowers that
it believes are credit worthy based on its credit guidelines. However, originating and holding loans for investment subjects CountryPlace to more credit and interest rate risk than the previous business practice of originating loans for resale. The
ability of customers to repay their loans may be affected by a number of factors and if customers do not repay their loans, the profitability and cash flow of the loan portfolio would be adversely affected. CountryPlace intends to securitize its
loan portfolio on a routine basis. While we believe it will be able to obtain additional liquidity through the securitization of such loans, no assurances can be made that CountryPlace will successfully complete securitization transactions on
acceptable terms and conditions, if at all.

We believe that the proceeds from the securitization, the issuance of the convertible senior
notes, floor plan financing, borrowings on the warehouse facility and any other available borrowing alternatives will be adequate to support our working capital needs, currently planned capital expenditure needs and expansion of CountryPlace for the
foreseeable future. However, because future cash flows and the availability of financing will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing economic and financial conditions, business, the market for asset-backed securitizations, and other
factors beyond our control, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Loan Portfolio

Prior to the third quarter of 2003, CountryPlace originated loans and immediately sold them to other lenders. During the third quarter of 2003, we
executed our planned strategy and expanded CountryPlace into a full service chattel lender with originating, servicing and securitization capabilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, CountryPlace completed its initial securitization for $141.0
million of loans. As a result of the expansion, our loan portfolio has grown at an annual rate of 200.9%, 36.9% and 23.2% in fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the build-up of our lending operations.

All loan contracts are fixed rate, simple interest contracts and have monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest. The scheduled payments for
each simple interest contract would, if made on their respective due dates, result in a nearly full amortization of the contract. The loan contracts have the following maturities as of March 31, 2006: $0.1 million are due in less than one year, $0.3
million are due between one and five years and $175.3 million are due after five years.

Non-performing loan contracts include non-accrual
loan contracts and foreclosed assets held for resale. Loan contracts are placed in non-accrual status when CountryPlace determines that foreclosure is imminent as a result of a clear indication that the borrower has the inability or unwillingness to
meet payments as they become

due. As of March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, CountryPlace had non-performing loans totaling $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. As of
March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, CountryPlace also had $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of accruing loans past due 90 days or more.

CountryPlace occasionally restructures troubled loan contracts by deferring or waiving all or part of interest, principal, tax escrow, insurance premium, fees, or other amounts owed to them by their customers.
CountryPlaces policies and guidelines, as well as certain contractual obligations in their securitization transaction, limit the number and the frequency of deferments and waivers that may be granted. A loan contract for which delinquent
payments are deferred is classified as current at the time the deferment is granted and therefore is not included as a delinquent account. Loan contracts subject to a payment deferral, as a percentage of the number outstanding loan contracts, were
as follows:

|Number of outstanding loan contracts       |  | 2,917          |   |  | 2,426          |  
|Percentage of loans with deferred payments |  | 0.7            | % |  | 0.0            | %

The deferrals in fiscal year 2006 are a direct result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The loan contracts are principally secured by factory-built homes that are geographically concentrated in Texas. Approximately 46.0% and 45.7% of the
principal balance of the loan contracts receivable as of March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, respectively, were secured by collateral located in Texas. If Texas experiences weaker economic conditions, greater rates of decline in
manufactured home values, greater rates of decline in real estate values, or natural disasters than the United States generally, then the loan contracts may experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and foreclosure losses than manufactured
homes that are more geographically dispersed. The risks created by these concentrations have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to cover estimated losses on loans at each balance sheet date. No other states had concentrations in excess of 10% of the loan contracts receivable balance as of March 31, 2006 or March 25, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of its consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Intangible Assets (Goodwill). In assessing the recoverability of our
intangible assets on an annual basis, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may
be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Recovery of Deferred Tax Asset.We believe it is more likely than
not we will recover all of our net deferred tax assets. Recovery of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which we currently believe will come from future profitable operating results and available tax
planning strategies. Should we operate unprofitably, or otherwise change our estimate of future profitable operations, we may need to record a valuation allowance on all or a part of our deferred tax assets. Net deferred tax assets at March 31,
2006 and March 25, 2005 are $11.1 million and $11.7 million, respectively.

Revenue recognition. Retail sales of
manufactured homes and certain single story modular homes, including shipping charges, are recognized when a down payment is received, the customer enters into a legally binding sales contract, title has transferred and the home is accepted by the
customer, delivered and permanently located at the customers site. Additionally, for retail sales of all multi-story modular homes, Nationwide modular homes, and manufactured homes in which we serve as the general contractor with respect to
virtually all aspects of the sale and construction process, revenue is not recognized until after final consumer closing. Transportation costs, unless borne by the retail customer or independent retailer, are included in the cost of sales.

Warranties. We provide the retail homebuyer a one-year limited warranty covering defects in material or workmanship in home
structure, plumbing and electrical systems. We record a liability for estimated future warranty costs relating to homes sold, based upon our assessment of historical experience factors. Factors we use in the estimation of the warranty liability
include historical warranty experience related to the actual number of calls and the average cost per call. Although we maintain reserves for such claims based on our assessments as described above, which to date have been adequate, there can be no
assurance that warranty expense levels will remain at current levels or that such reserves will continue to be adequate. A large number of warranty claims exceeding our current warranty expense levels could have a material effect on our results of
operations and liquidity.

Reserve for Repurchase Obligations. Factory-built housing companies enter into repurchase
agreements with financial institutions which have provided wholesale floor plan financing to independent dealers, builders and developers. These agreements generally provide that in the event of an independent dealer, builder or



24

##### Table of Contents

developers default we will repurchase the financed home from the lending institution at declining prices over the term of the repurchase agreement
(generally 12  18 months). The risk of loss under such repurchase agreements is mitigated by the fact that (i) approximately 50% of our homes are sold to independent dealers, builders and developers; (ii) a majority of the homes we
sell to independent dealers, builders and developers are pre-sold to specific retail customers; (iii) we monitor each dealers, builders and developers inventory position on a regular basis; (iv) sales of our manufactured
homes are spread over a large number of dealers, builders and developers; (v) none of our independent dealers, builders and developers accounted for more than 5% of our net sales in fiscal 2006; (vi) the price we are obligated to pay
declines over time and (vii) we are, in most cases, able to resell homes repurchased from credit sources in the ordinary course of business without incurring significant losses.

Transfers of Financial Assets. CountryPlace completed its initial securitization of manufactured housing loan receivables in fiscal 2006.
The securitization was accounted for as a financing, which uses the portfolio method of accounting in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs
Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, where (1) loan contracts are securitized and accounted for as borrowings; (2) interest income is recorded over the life of the loans using the
interest method; (3) the loan contracts receivable and the securitization debt (asset-backed certificates) remain on CountryPlaces balance sheet; and (4) the related interest margin is reflected in the income statement.
This accounting has been utilized since July 12, 2005, the date of issue of the Companys only securitized financing. The securitization includes provisions for removal of accounts by CountryPlace that preclude sale accounting of the
securitization under SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.

The structure of CountryPlaces securitization has no effect on the ultimate amount of profit and cash flow recognized over the life of the loan contracts, except to the extent of surety fees and premiums, trustee fees, backup
servicer fees, and securitization issuance costs. However, the structure does affect the timing of cash receipts.

CountryPlace services
the loan contracts under a pooling and servicing agreement with the securitization trust. CountryPlace also retains interests in subordinate classes of securitization bonds that provide over-collateralization credit enhancement to senior certificate
holders and are subject to risk of loss of interest payments and principal. As is common in securitizations, CountryPlace is also liable for customary representations. We guarantee certain aspects of CountryPlaces performance as the
servicer under the securitizations pooling and servicing agreement.

Allowance for Loan Losses.CountryPlace originates and holds for investment purposes loans related primarily to the retail sale of our factory-built homes, with such loans being collateralized primarily by the factory-built home. CountryPlace provides
allowances for estimated future loan losses at the time of sale and during the term of the loan. The allowance for loan losses gives consideration to the composition of the loan portfolio, including borrower credit scores, loan characteristics,
number of delinquencies and historical loss experience, known losses due to existing repossessed homes, expected losses due to specific customer delinquencies, expected future losses based on industry experience of losses for a given credit score
and current economic conditions. Although CountryPlace maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon these expectations and other criteria, future differences between CountryPlaces expectations with respect to loan losses and actual losses
incurred in the portfolio could differ, and require CountryPlace to increase its allowance.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory
Costsan amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 requires that fixed production costs be allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities and that unallocated overheads be
recognized as an expense in the periods in which they are incurred. In addition, other items such as abnormal freight, handling costs and amounts of excess spoilage require treatment as current-period charges rather than as a portion of the
inventory cost. We adopted SFAS 151 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transaction, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value
of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123R permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the statement. We will adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We do not anticipate that
the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks
related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists primarily of our liabilities under retail floor plan financing arrangements and warehouse revolving debt. For variable interest rate obligations, changes in interest
rates generally do not impact fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. Assuming our and CountryPlaces level of variable rate debt as of March 31, 2006 is held constant, each one percentage point increase in
interest rates occurring on the first day of the year would result in an increase in interest expense for the coming year of approximately $0.8 million.

We are also exposed to market risks related to our fixed rate consumer loans receivable balances and our convertible senior notes. For fixed rate loans receivable, changes in interest rates do not change future
earnings and cash flows from the receivables. However, changes in interest rates could affect the fair market value of the loan portfolio. Assuming CountryPlaces level of loans held for investment as of March 31, 2006 is held constant, a
10% increase in average interest rates would decrease the fair value of CountryPlaces portfolio by approximately $3.6 million. For our fixed rate convertible senior notes, changes in interest rates could affect the fair market value of the
related debt. Assuming the amount of convertible senior notes as of March 31, 2006 is held constant, a 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the notes by approximately $1.5 million.

CountryPlace is exposed to market risk related to the accessibility and terms of financing in the asset-backed securities market. On July 12, 2005,
CountryPlace successfully completed its initial securitized financing of approximately $141.0 million of loans. CountryPlace intends to continue to securitize its loan originations as a means to obtain long-term fixed interest rate funding. The
inability to continue to securitize its loans would require CountryPlace to seek other sources of funding or to reduce or eliminate its loan originations if other sources of funding are not available.

Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. and its majority-owned and wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company). Investments in 50% or less-owned entities are accounted for under the equity method.
CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd. (CountryPlace) is 80% owned by the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Headquartered in Addison, Texas, the Company markets factory-built
homes nationwide through vertically integrated operations, encompassing factory-built housing, chattel and mortgage bank financing, as well as insurance.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used by management in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Year End

The Companys fiscal year ends on the
last Friday in March. Fiscal year 2006 was comprised of 53 weeks while fiscal years 2005 and 2004 were each comprised of 52 weeks.

Revenue recognition

Retail sales of manufactured homes and certain single story modular homes, including shipping charges, are recognized when a down
payment is received, the customer enters into a legally binding sales contract, title has transferred and the home is accepted by the customer, delivered and permanently located at the customers site. Additionally, for retail sales of all
multi-story modular homes, Nationwide modular homes, and manufactured homes in which the Company serves as the general contractor with respect to virtually all aspects of the sale and construction process, revenue is not recognized until after final
consumer closing. Transportation costs, unless borne by the retail customer or independent retailer, are included in cost of sales.

Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net sales on an accrual basis. Loans receivable are placed on nonaccrual by CountryPlace when management determines that foreclosure is imminent as a result of a clear indication
that the borrower has the inability or unwillingness to meet payments as they become due. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized into net sales over the contractual life of the loan using the
interest method.

Most of the homes sold to independent retailers are financed through standard industry arrangements which include
repurchase agreements (see Note 13). The Company extends credit in the normal course of business under normal trade terms and its receivables are subject to normal industry risk.

Premium income from insurance policies is recognized on an as earned basis. Premium amounts collected are amortized into net sales over the life of the
policy. Policy acquisition costs are also amortized as cost of sales over the life of the policy.

Fair value of financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, floor plan payable and warehouse revolving debt
are stated at expected settlement amounts and approximate fair value. Additional information concerning the fair value of the Companys investments, consumer loans receivable, convertible senior notes and securitized financing is disclosed in
notes 4, 5 and 7, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are all liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted
cash

At March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, $15.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of cash was pledged as collateral
for outstanding letters of credit which collaterized insurance programs and surety bonds. The remainder of the restricted cash balance ($3.2 million and $3.1 million at March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, respectively) relates primarily to
CountryPlace customers principal and interest payments on the loans that are in the warehouse or securitized. In the event of default on the warehouse facility or the securitized borrowing, this amount would be paid to the financial
institution as payment of outstanding principal and interest on the facility.

Consumer loans receivable

Consumer loans receivable consist of loans held for investment and securitized loans, which are both stated at the aggregate remaining unpaid principal
balances, less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred finance fees.

Allowance for loan losses

CountryPlace originates and holds for investment purposes loans related primarily to the retail sale of factory-built Palm Harbor Homes, with such loans
being collateralized primarily by the factory-built home. CountryPlace provides allowances for estimated probable loan losses at the time of sale and during the term of the loan. The allowance for loan losses gives consideration to the composition
of the loan portfolio, including borrower credit scores, loan characteristics, the number of delinquencies and historical loss experience, known losses due to existing repossessed homes, expected losses due to specific customer delinquencies,
expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on industry experience of losses for a given credit score and current economic conditions. Although CountryPlace maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon these expectations and other
criteria, future differences between CountryPlaces expectations with respect to loan losses and actual losses incurred in the portfolio could differ, and require CountryPlace to increase its allowance.

Concentration of loans

Approximately 46.0% and 45.7%
of the principal balance of the loan contracts receivable as of March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, respectively, were secured by collateral located in Texas. If Texas experiences weaker economic conditions, greater rates of decline in
manufactured home values, greater rates of decline in real estate values, or natural disasters than the United States generally, then the loan contracts may experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and foreclosure losses than manufactured
homes that are more geographically dispersed. The risks created by these concentrations have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Investments

The Company holds investments as
available-for-sale. The available-for-sale investments include marketable debt and equity securities and are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholders equity.

Inventories

Raw materials inventories are valued at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method which approximates actual cost) or market. Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the specific identification method.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
method over the shorter of the lease period or the improvements useful lives. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: Land Improvements 10-15 years, Buildings and Improvements 3-30 years, and Machinery and
Equipment 2-10 years. The Company had depreciation expense of $9.7 million, $11.4 million and $13.3 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The recoverability of property, plant and
equipment is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected undiscounted cash flows. The Company
has not recorded any impairment charges in fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is no longer amortized. The Company tests goodwill annually
for impairment by reporting unit and records an impairment charge when the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. The Companys two reporting units are factory-built housing and financial services. All of the
Companys goodwill relates to its factory-built housing reporting unit. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal year 2006 and 2005 as of December 31, 2005 and December 25, 2004, respectively, the first day
of its fourth fiscal quarter, and noted no implied impairment of goodwill.

Warranties

Products are warranted against manufacturing defects for a period of one year commencing at the time of sale to the retail customer. Estimated costs
relating to product warranties are provided at the date of sale.

Start-up costs

Costs incurred in connection with the start-up of manufacturing facilities and retail superstores are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined by
the liability method and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of its net deferred tax assets and establishes valuation allowances, if needed, when it is not more likely then not that such assets are recoverable.

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Accumulated other comprehensive income is presented net of
income taxes and is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale and changes in fair value of an interest rate hedge.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costsan amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151
requires that fixed production costs be allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities and that unallocated overheads be recognized as an expense in the periods in which they are incurred. In addition, other items such
as abnormal freight, handling costs and amounts of excess spoilage require treatment as current-period charges rather than as a portion of the inventory cost. The Company adopted SFAS 151 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of the
standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued
Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transaction, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in
financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123R permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the statement. The Company will
adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2. Investment in limited partnership

In June 2002,
the Company invested $3.0 million to become the sole limited partner and 50% owner of an existing mortgage banking firm, BSM Financial L. P. (BSM) which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. During fiscal 2006, the
Companys share of the earnings of BSM was $0.6 million. Condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005 and the condensed statements of operations for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2006, March 25,
2005 and March 26, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

home inventory at the Companys retail superstores and is secured by new home inventory and a portion of receivables from financial institutions. The
interest rate on the facility is prime (7.75% at March 31, 2006) or prime plus 1.0% to 3.0% for aged units, of which the Company has none as of March 31, 2006. The floor plan facility contains certain provisions requiring the Company to
maintain minimum amounts of liquidity, profitability, inventory turns and tangible net worth in order to borrow against the facility. As of March 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these provisions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2006, the Company amended the agreement with the financial institution to revise the minimum tangible net worth provision for fiscal 2006, to change the interest rate to prime plus 0.6% and to extend the expiration of the agreement from May 25,
2007 to March 30, 2009. The Company had $37.9 million and $30.9 million outstanding under these floor plan credit facilities at March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, respectively.

On May 5, 2004, the Company issued $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the Notes) in a private, unregistered offering. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in May and November. On June 8, 2004, the initial purchaser of the Notes exercised its option to
purchase an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. On September 15, 2004, for the benefit of the Note holders, the Company filed a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes and the shares of the
Companys common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future unsecured and senior indebtedness. Each $1,000 in
principal amount of the Notes is convertible, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $25.92, or 38.5803 shares of the Companys common stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and contingencies. For fiscal years 2006,
2005 and 2004, the effect of converting the senior notes to 2,894,000 shares of common stock was anti-dilutive, and was, therefore, not considered in determining diluted earnings per share. At March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005, the fair
market value of the convertible senior notes is estimated at $71.5 and $65.9 million based on quoted market prices.

On July 12, 2005,
the Company, through its subsidiary CountryPlace, completed its initial securitization for approximately $141.0 million of loans, which was funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $118.4 million. The bonds were issued in four different
classes: Class A-1 totaling $36.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.23%; Class A-2 totaling $27.4 million with a coupon rate of 4.42%; Class A-3 totaling $27.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.80%; and Class A-4 totaling $27.4
million with a coupon rate of 5.20%. Maturity of the bonds is at varying dates beginning in 2006 through 2015 and were issued with a weighted average maturity of 4.66 years. The proceeds from the securitization were used to repay approximately
$115.7 million of borrowings on the Companys warehouse revolving debt with the remaining proceeds being used for general corporate purposes, including future origination of new loans. For accounting purposes, this transaction was structured as
a securitized borrowing. At March 31, 2006, the fair market value of the securitized financing was $101.8 million.

The Company, through
its subsidiary CountryPlace, has an agreement with a financial institution for a warehouse borrowing facility to fund loans originated by CountryPlace. The facility is collateralized by specific consumer loans receivable pledged to the facility. The
facility terminates March 16, 2007; however, amounts outstanding under the facility are effectively settled and re-borrowed on a monthly basis. Upon renewal on

March 17, 2006, the warehouse facility was amended to reduce the maximum borrowing amount from $200.0 million to $125.0 million, increase the advance
against the outstanding principle balance of eligible consumer loan receivables to 88%, and to provide for draws at an 80% advance rate against land-home loans in various stages of completion. The interest rate remains LIBOR plus 1.25%. CountryPlace
had outstanding borrowings under the warehouse facility of $37.4 million as of March 31, 2006 and $106.3 million as of March 25, 2005. The facility contains certain requirements relating to the performance and composition of the consumer
loans receivable pledged to the facility and financial covenants regarding maintenance of a certain loan delinquency ratio, minimum ratio of liabilities to stockholders equity for CountryPlace and a minimum capitalization for CountryPlace, which is
customary in the industry. As of March 31, 2006, CountryPlace was in compliance with these requirements. As CountryPlace continues to expand and draw down on its warehouse facility, the Company will fund the difference between the amounts
advanced under the warehouse borrowing facility and the balance of any additional loan originations. For CountryPlace to increase its borrowings under the facility to the maximum $125.0 million, CountryPlace would have to originate an additional
$100.4 million of new loans, of which $12.9 million would have to be funded through the Companys operations.

Upon completion of the
securitization, CountryPlace extinguished its interest rate swap agreement on $75.0 million of its variable rate debt which was used to hedge against an increase in variable interest rates. The agreement previously fixed the interest rate on $75.0
million of CountryPlaces variable rate, long-term warehouse revolving debt to 4.07% per annum. CountryPlace recorded the hedge instrument at fair value as of the end of each fiscal quarter with the effective offsetting portion of the
hedge being recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if any, of the hedge being recorded in the Companys consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal 2006 and 2005, CountryPlace had
no significant ineffectiveness. The fair value of the hedge upon its extinguishment in fiscal 2006 was immaterial.

The Company believes it is more likely than not it will recover all of its net deferred tax
assets. Recovery of the Companys deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which it currently believes will come from future profitable operating results and available tax planning strategies. Should the
Company continue to operate unprofitably, or otherwise change its estimate of future profitable operations, it may need to record a valuation allowance on all or a part of its deferred tax assets. Net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2006 and
March 25, 2005 are $11.1 million and $11.7 million, respectively.

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $0.3 million available to offset future state taxable income and which expire between 2009 and 2025.

Tax benefits purchased
are investments in Safe Harbor lease agreements that are carried net of tax benefits realized. The balance was fully amortized as of March 31, 2006.

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was passed, which
provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities which generally will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. Subsequently, the FASB passed FSP FAS 109-1, which indicates that the available qualified

domestic production activity deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in SFAS No. 109. As such, there is no impact to
the Companys deferred tax assets or liabilities existing as of the enactment date. Rather, the impact of any deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on the Companys tax return.

10. Shareholders equity

The Board of Directors
may, without further action by the Companys shareholders, from time to time, authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the powers, rights, preferences and limitations, including
the dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption price and liquidation preference, and the number of shares to be included in any such series. Any preferred stock so issued may rank senior to the common stock with respect to the
payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both. In addition, any such shares of preferred stock may have class or series voting rights.

11. Long-Term Incentive Plan

Beginning fiscal 2000 through fiscal 2003, the Board of Directors
approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) whereby certain key associates received awards of restricted common stock. The Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the Plan. Shares awarded under
the Plan are either purchased by the Company in the open market or transferred from the Companys treasury stock account. These restricted stock awards give the associate the right to receive a specific number of shares of common stock
contingent upon remaining an associate of the Company for a specified period. Beginning in fiscal 2004, the Plan was modified until certain earnings levels are achieved.

The unamortized cost of the common stock acquired by the Company for the participants in the plan is reflected as Unearned Compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Plan is
administered by a committee authorized by the Board of Directors.

12. Employee plan

The Company sponsors an employee savings plan (the 401k Plan) that is intended to provide participating employees with additional income upon
retirement. Employees may contribute between 1% and 18% of eligible compensation to the 401k Plan. The Company matches 50% of the first 6% deferred by employees. Employees are immediately eligible to participate and employer contributions, which
begin one year after employment, are vested at the rate of 20% per year and are fully vested after five years of employment. Contribution expense was $1.0 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

13. Commitments and contingencies

Future minimum lease payments for all noncancelable operating leases having a remaining term in excess of one year at March 31, 2006, are as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense (net of sublease income) was $9.0 million, $8.9 million and $8.5 million for fiscal
years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company is contingently liable under the terms of repurchase agreements covering independent
dealers, builders and developers floor plan financing. Under such agreements, the Company agrees to repurchase homes at declining prices over the term of the agreement, generally 12 to 18 months. At March 31, 2006, the Company
estimates that its potential obligations under all repurchase agreements were approximately $25.7 million. However, it is managements opinion that no material loss will occur from the repurchase agreements. During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and
2004, net losses incurred by the Company under these repurchase agreements totaled $157,000, $65,000 and $6,000, respectively.

The Company
is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

14. Interest income and other

During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded interest income of $3.4 million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively and other income of $1.7 million, $3.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Other income consists primarily of income earned on a real estate investment of $1.5 million, $3.3 million and $0.5 million in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Managements Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term disclosure controls and procedures is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006. During the quarter ending on March 31, 2006, there was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006 using the criteria set forth in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment,
management believes that, as of March 31, 2006, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting
firm who also audited the Companys consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young LLPs attestation report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting appears on the next
page.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006 and March 25, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 2006. Our report dated May 23, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
