Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended March 30, 2001.

3. Floor Plan Payable The Company has floor plan credit facilities with financial institutions totaling $175.0 million to finance a major portion of its home inventory at the Company's retail superstores. These facilities are secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and receivables from financial institutions. The interest rates on the facilities range from prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) to prime plus 2.0%. One of the Company's facilities, which expired June 30, 2001, requires notification from the financial institution 12 months prior to cancellation. The financial institution has extended all terms of the existing facility indefinitely. The Company has three other facilities which require notification from the financial institution six months prior to cancellation. Such notification has not been received by the Company from any of the financial institutions. The Company had $132.8 million and $144.7 million outstanding on these floor plan credit facilities at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively. One of the Company's floor plan financing agreements permits the Company to earn interest on investments made with the financial institution, which can be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions. These investments have certain limitations depending upon the amount of floor plan balance outstanding. The interest rate earned on the amounts invested is prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.5%. The Company had $10.8 million and $16.2 million invested at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these amounts as Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 4 4. Line of Credit The Company has a $20.0 million secured and a $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from a financial institution for general corporate purposes. The line of credit bears interest, at the option (under certain conditions) of the Company, at either the LIBOR rate (1.88% at December 28, 2001) plus 2.0% or the prime rate (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.25%. The line of credit contains provisions regarding minimum financial requirements and certain indebtedness limitations, which would limit the amount available for future borrowings. Currently, the amount available of $35.0 million is reduced by letters of credit totaling $3.6 million. The line is available through June 26, 2002, and requires an annual commitment fee of up to $50,000. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001. 5. Business Segment Information The Company operates primarily in three business segments - retail, manufacturing and financial services. The following table summarizes information with respect to the Company's business segments for the three and nine month periods ending December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000 (in thousands):

5 6. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 7. New Accounting Pronouncement Effective March 31, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," (SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill not be amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment by reporting unit and expensed against earnings when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of the new standard increased net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, to $0.23 per share for the quarter ended December 28, 2001 and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.77 per share for the nine months ended December 28, 2001. Comparative pro forma results for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2000 would have increased income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share , to $0.17 per share and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.80 per share, respectively. The Company had $53.1 million and $52.9 million in goodwill at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these amounts as Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 6 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1. Financial Statements See pages 1 through 5. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The manufactured housing industry continues to be affected by three major challenges - retail financing availability, repossessions and retail inventory levels. Elevated credit standards, which began in mid-1999, resulted in reduced retail sales levels, declining wholesale shipments and declining margins for most industry participants. Calendar 2001 industry multi-section shipments are down 20% from a year ago; however the Company's shipments declined less than 5% during this same period. All of the Company's business segments, as well as each manufacturing facility, were profitable this quarter. Additionally, the Company maintained strong gross margins, profitably increased market share, reduced retail inventories per superstore and increased consolidated net income, while continuing its controlled growth strategy of opening new retail superstores. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $67.4 million after investing over $20 million in the Company's stock buyback program and virtually no long-term debt. In addition, the Company's practice of manufacturing only to order has enabled the Company to continue to tightly manage inventories with the average new home inventory per retail superstore declining 8% since the beginning of the fiscal year. Floor plan financing per retail superstore declined 12% as well. The following table sets forth certain items of the Company's statement of income as a percentage of net sales for the period indicated.

7 The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics as of and for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000.

THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, DECEMBER 29, DECEMBER 28, DECEMBER 29, 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Company homes sold through Company-owned retail superstores 2,051 1,982 6,770 7,078 Total new homes sold 2,472 2,410 8,064 8,517 Internalization rate(1) 83% 82% 84% 83% Average new home price - retail $ 62,000 $ 60,000 $ 60,000 $ 59,000 Number of retail superstores at end of period 152 138 152 138 Homes sold to independent retailers 412 418 1,267 1,395

(1) The internalization rate is the percentage of new homes that are manufactured by the Company and sold through Company-owned retail superstores. THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2000 NET SALES. Net sales increased 8.8% to $158.8 million in the three months ended December 28, 2001 from $145.9 million in the three months ended December 29, 2000. The volume of homes sold through Company-owned retail superstores increased 3.4% while overall unit volume, which includes sales to independent retailers, increased 2.6%. The improvement in net sales also reflects the continued shift in product mix towards multi-section homes. 93% of the homes sold by the Company were multi-section in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 versus 87% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The number of superstores increased from 138 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 152 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. GROSS PROFIT. In the quarter ended December 28, 2001, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.4% from 31.2% in the quarter ended December 29, 2000. Gross profit increased 9.4% to $49.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from $45.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company sold 83% of its homes through Company-owned retail superstores in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 versus 82% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat with the prior year quarter at 26.2%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million to $41.6 million in the quarter ended December 28, 2001 compared to $38.3 million in the quarter ended December 29, 2000, primarily due to the Company's continued commitment to building brand awareness via advertising, startup expenses associated with the six new retail superstores opened during the third quarter as well as those expected to be opened in the fourth quarter and training costs associated with people development. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 42.3% to $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 primarily due to a decrease in the prime interest rate from 9.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 4.75% in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 coupled with a decrease in the floor plan liability. 8 NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2000 NET SALES. Net sales decreased 1.5% to $504.7 million in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 from $512.6 million in the nine months ended December 29, 2000. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to competitive conditions in the manufactured housing industry. The volume of homes sold through Company-owned superstores declined 4.8% while overall unit volume, which includes sales to independent retailers, declined 5.5% in the first three quarters of fiscal 2002 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2001. This decline in volume is partially offset by a continued shift in product mix towards multi-section homes. 92% of the homes sold by the Company were multi-section homes in fiscal 2002 versus 84% in fiscal 2001. The number of Company-owned retail superstores increased from 138 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 152 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. GROSS PROFIT. For the nine months ended December 28, 2001, gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined slightly to 31.2% from 31.6% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000. Gross profit decreased 2.9% to $157.3 million in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 compared to $162.0 million in the nine months ended December 29, 2000. The Company sold 84% of its homes through Company-owned retail superstores in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 versus 83% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.7% to $126.5 million in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 from $127.3 million in the nine months ended December 29, 2000, primarily due to the Company's continued focus on reducing fixed expenses company-wide. This decline was somewhat offset by a commitment to building brand awareness via advertising, startup expenses associated with the new retail superstores opened during the first nine months of fiscal 2002, as well as those expected to be opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, and training costs associated with people development. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly, as planned, to 25.1% in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 from 24.9% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000. This increase is due to the growth in the Company's retail operations, which generally, have higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales as compared to wholesale operations. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 30.3% to $6.6 million in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 from $9.5 million in the nine months ended December 29, 2000 due to a decrease in the prime interest rate from a range of 9.0% to 9.5% in the nine months ended December 29, 2000 to a range of 4.75% to 8.0% in the nine months ended December 28, 2001 coupled with a decrease in the floor plan liability. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company has floor plan credit facilities with financial institutions totaling $175.0 million to finance a major portion of its home inventory at the Company's retail superstores. These facilities are secured by a portion of the Company's home inventory and receivables from financial institutions. The interest rates on the facilities range from prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) to prime plus 2.0%. One of the Company's facilities, which expired June 30, 2001, requires notification from the financial institution 12 months prior to cancellation. The financial institution has extended all terms of the existing facility indefinitely. The Company has three other facilities which require notification from the financial institution six months prior to cancellation. Such notification has not been received by the Company from any of the financial institutions. The Company had $132.8 million and $144.7 million outstanding on these floor plan credit facilities at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively. 9 One of the Company's floor plan financing agreements permits the Company to earn interest on investments made with the financial institution, which can be withdrawn without any imposed restrictions. These investments have certain limitations depending upon the amount of floor plan balance outstanding. The interest rate earned on the amounts invested is prime (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.5%. The Company had $10.8 million and $16.2 million invested at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these amounts as Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has a $20.0 million secured and a $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from a financial institution for general corporate purposes. The line of credit bears interest, at the option (under certain conditions) of the Company, at either the LIBOR rate (1.88% at December 28, 2001) plus 2.0% or the prime rate (4.75% at December 28, 2001) minus 0.25%. The line of credit contains provisions regarding minimum financial requirements and certain indebtedness limitations which would limit the amount available for future borrowings. Currently, the amount available of $35.0 million is reduced by letters of credit totaling $3.6 million. The line is available through June 26, 2002 and requires an annual commitment fee of up to $50,000. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001. Through CountryPlace Mortgage, the Company's finance subsidiary, the Company assigns approved loan contracts to one of three national finance companies. In January 2000, one of these companies, Associates Housing Finance, announced that they would be discontinuing retail and floor plan financing for the manufactured housing industry. The Company does, however, have a contract through March 31, 2002 with the Associates and they have committed to providing consumer financing to the Company throughout the duration of the contract. In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the use of up to $20.0 million to repurchase the Company's common stock. In July 2000, the Board of Directors authorized another $20.0 million for common stock repurchases. As of the date of this filing, the Company had invested $20.5 million in the common stock buyback program. The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with floor plan financing and the revolving line of credit, will be adequate to support its working capital, currently planned capital expenditure needs and future share repurchases in the foreseeable future. The Company may, from time to time, obtain additional floor plan financing for its retail inventories. Such practice is customary in the industry. However, because future cash flows and the availability of financing will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing economic and financial conditions, business and other factors beyond the Company's control, no assurances can be given in this regard. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT. Effective March 31, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," (SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill not be amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment by reporting unit and expensed against earnings when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of the new standard increased net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, to $0.23 per share for the quarter ended December 28, 2001 and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.77 per share for the nine months ended December 28, 2001. Comparative pro forma results for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2000 would have increased income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and net income by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, to $0.17 per share and $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, to $0.80 per share, respectively. The Company had $53.1 million and $52.9 million in goodwill at December 28, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively, and has classified these amounts as Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 10 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION.
