NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:

Short-term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days.

INVENTORIES:

Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in,
first-out basis.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:



The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with various financial institutions which provide for the repurchase of its homes sold
to dealers under floor plan financing arrangements upon dealer default. The Company's exposure to loss under such agreements is reduced by the resale of the repurchased home. The Company has
established what it believes is an appropriate level of accruals to reflect current and anticipated repurchase activity. The Company believes any losses incurred under outstanding repurchase
agreements in excess of the accruals established as of September 30, 2000 will not have a significant impact on the financial condition of the Company.



Letters of Credit totaling $500,000 have been issued to the Company's insurance carriers who have underwritten the Company's insurance programs.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped to independent dealers.

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



Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were $6,972,000 and $17,090,000, respectively.
Working capital as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was $27,295,000 and $31,803,000, respectively. Repurchases of homes due to dealer failure and the establishment of retail
sales centers to dispose of these repurchased homes reduced liquidity during the current period. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased a total of 104,000
shares of common stock under the program initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to acquire up to 1,100,000 shares of its common stock.



Net sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $28,710,000, as compared to $47,259,000 for the same quarter of 1999. The sales activity of the Company followed
the industry trend during the third quarter. This downturn in sales was caused, in part, by an overproduction of homes in prior periods by the industry relative to retail sales in prior periods. This
overproduction has resulted in homes being offered by the Company's competitors at discounted prices resulting in a reduction of orders for new homes. Also, the industry has seen a tightening of
credit on both the wholesale and retail financing of homes. This tightening has been caused by the decision of several major financing companies to cease doing business in the manufactured housing
industry along with a reluctance by the secondary market to purchase retail contracts of the finance companies thus causing an increase in interest rates for our retail customers. In addition,
remaining finance companies have tightened underwriting standards resulting in fewer qualifying retail customers and the tightening in the wholesale finance market has caused many of the Company's
retailers to reduce inventory. Furthermore, increased retail and wholesale loan defaults have caused a corresponding increase in the number of repossessed homes offered for resale, which has displaced
some demand for newly manufactured homes. A substantial number of homes were repurchased by the Company in satisfaction of repurchase obligations the Company has with its dealers' finance companies.
The majority of these homes were re-sold by the end of the quarter, while the balance remained in inventory and accordingly reduced sales.

The
reduction in sales and the increase in repurchase activity had an adverse effect on net income for the third quarter of 2000. The Company had an operating loss of $2,661,000 and a
net loss of $1,512,000 for the third quarter of 2000 compared to operating income of $917,000 and net income of $628,000 for the same quarter in 1999. The Company provided $1,862,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and $2,863,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 for the losses on the repurchase and resale of its homes.



As sales backlogs in the manufactured housing industry are traditionally short and as dealer inventories do not normally fluctuate substantially, the orders
that the Company receives are normally indicative of the day-to-day retail sales activity of its products. However, with the tightening in the wholesale financing market, many
dealers have chosen to reduce their inventory levels which has had an impact on the Company's sales. Any changes affecting the desire or ability of retail customers to purchase, such as cost,
availability of credit and unemployment, have an immediate effect on the Company's operations.

Subsequent
to the end of the third quarter, the Company decided to temporarily close its manufacturing plant in Tuscumbia, Alabama and shift the production of units built in that
plant to the Company's Hamilton, Alabama plant. The close proximity of these two plants allows for the transfer of key employees to the Hamilton plant and easy access to the same customer base. The
Company is maintaining the Tuscumbia plant in a state of readiness to re-start production when market demand warrants.
