PART I.

General

Founded in 1977, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, we or Palm Harbor) are a leading manufacturer and marketer of factory-built homes in the United States. We market nationwide through vertically integrated operations, encompassing manufactured and modular housing, financing and insurance. At March 27, 2009, we operated nine manufacturing facilities in seven states that sell homes through 86 of our company-owned retail sales centers and builder locations and approximately 150 independent retail dealers, builders and developers. Through our subsidiary, CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd. (CountryPlace), we currently offer conforming mortgages to purchasers of factory-built homes sold by company-owned retail sales centers and certain independent retail dealers, builders and developers. The loans originated through CountryPlace are either held for our own investment portfolio or sold to investors. We provide property and casualty insurance for owners of manufactured homes through our subsidiary, Standard Casualty Company (Standard).

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. Industry shipments of manufactured homes were approximately 348,700 in calendar year 1999 and have decreased 76% over the last nine years to a 45 year industry low of 82,000 in calendar year 2008. During this nine-year period, our manufactured housing shipments declined 81%.

Prior to 2006, increases in manufactured housing shipments to Florida, Arizona and California were the main factor in maintaining industry shipments at approximately 130,000 per year. In 2006, however, the dynamics fueling increased manufactured housing demand in these states changed quickly. Site built homes in these states had experienced rapid price appreciation driven by high land cost. As such, the increase in speculative building resulted in excess inventory. This caused prices to fall and buyers and sellers began to postpone their home buying decisions. It also greatly reduced the number of over age 55 buyers of manufactured housing since they typically must sell their site built home to buy a manufactured home. For calendar year 2007, industry shipments to Florida, Arizona and California were down approximately 43% and in calendar year 2008, industry shipments to these three states were down another 41%.

With the manufactured housing industry not showing signs of a near term recovery, we directed our focus to growth opportunities in the modular housing business. We entered the modular home business in June 2002 when we acquired Nationwide Custom Homes (Nationwide). We also produce modular homes at six of our manufactured housing facilities. As a result of this planned strategy to grow our modular business, the number of modular homes we sold as a percentage of total factory-built homes sold has increased from 8% in fiscal 2003 (when we acquired Nationwide) to 25% in fiscal 2009. However, the 2007 severe downturn in the overall housing market created by reduced financing options has produced an excess of site-built homes, which are directly competitive with modular housing. Industry modular shipments for calendar year 2008 were approximately 22,000, a decrease of 33% over calendar year 2007. Our unit sales of modular homes decreased 40% in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008.

With the decline in retail demand, we have focused on new areas of business, including commercial and military projects, which present new revenue opportunities for us. These institutions are looking for a quality provider and we are well positioned as a preferred supplier to meet this demand. During fiscal 2009, we produced barracks and other housing for three military bases.

In light of the current economic crisis and with no near-term signs of recovery for the factory-built housing industry, our top priorities are cash generation and cash preservation in every area of our business. During fiscal 2009, we focused on these priorities through the following:

For the near term, the outlook for housing, both site-built and factory-built, remains extremely challenging. A number of issues must be resolved for any recovery to gain traction, and until inventories decline, housing prices stabilize, credit is restored and general economic fundamentals improve, we do not expect any short-term improvement. In the meantime, our strategy is to manage our operations more efficiently and become a stronger and leaner company. Accordingly, we remain focused on three critical areas in our business for fiscal 2010. Our top priority is to manage our cash and leverage our balance sheet to maintain adequate liquidity through this uncertain business climate. We are also streamlining our operations to reduce both marginal costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, consistent with expected revenues. And finally, we continue to look for new sources of revenue by pursuing our creative efforts like flexible products, commercial and military modular products, and targeted Internet marketing strategies. Regardless of market conditions, we will continue to leverage our core strengths—the most trusted brand name in the industry, a diverse and high-quality product line, manufacturing excellence and exceptional customer service.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, our floor plan lender, Textron Financial Corporation (Textron), announced that they are in the process of an orderly liquidation of certain commercial loan business including their housing finance business. As further discussed in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements, in April 2009, we agreed to an amendment to our floor plan facility which includes a lower total commitment amount (from $70 million to $50 million), a new expiration date of March 31, 2010, new interest rates and new financial covenants. In addition, as discussed in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements, we agreed to a further amendment dated June 4, 2009, which extends the expiration date to June 30, 2010, among other things.

We were in compliance with our new financial covenants as of March 27, 2009. In addition, management believes that new quarterly financial covenants covering maximum net loss before taxes levels, annualized inventory turn and maximum borrowing base, all as defined in the recent amendments, for fiscal 2010 are achievable based upon our fiscal 2010 operating plan. Management has also identified other actions within their control that could be implemented, as necessary, to help us meet these quarterly requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

Additionally, in light of market conditions, it is possible that we may be unable to comply with the new financial covenants during fiscal 2010. Textron could also declare a loan violation due to a material adverse

change, as defined in the agreement. As a result, if a loan violation were to occur and not be remedied in accordance with the terms of the floor plan facility, Textron could declare an event of default and demand that the full amount of the facility be paid in full prior to maturity. Such a demand would result in, among other things, a cross default of our convertible senior notes described in Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements.

While we are currently exploring asset sales and other types of capital raising alternatives in order to generate liquidity, there can be no assurance that such activities will be successful or generate cash resources adequate to fully retire the Textron floor plan facility at maturity. In this event, there can be no assurance that Textron will consent to a further amendment of the floor plan facility agreement.

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 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Factory-Built Housing Segment

Our factory-built housing operations consist of the production and sale of manufactured homes (HUD-code), modular homes, and commercial buildings. Our manufactured homes are constructed in accordance with the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD regulations) and our modular homes are built in accordance with state or local building codes.

The following table sets forth the total factory-built homes sold, commercial buildings sold and the number of manufacturing facilities we operated for the fiscal years indicated:

The number of operating manufacturing facilities has been reduced by 50% since March 31, 2006. During the last three fiscal years we idled 8 less-than-efficient facilities and had one facility destroyed by fire. Currently, we have two facilities listed for sale and have entered into an agreement to sell another facility no later than the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $1.5 million related to two of the three facilities listed for sale. See Note 1 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details on our annual impairment testing.

Products

We manufacture a broad range of single and multi-section manufactured and modular homes under various brand names and in a variety of floor plans and price ranges. While most of the homes we build are multi-section/modular (83% in fiscal 2009), ranch-style homes, we also build single-section homes, split-level homes, cape cod style homes, two and three story homes and multi-family units such as apartments and duplexes. Most of the single-family homes we produce contain two to five bedrooms, a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen and two or three bathrooms. Approximately 80% of the manufactured homes we produce are structurally or decoratively customized to the homebuyer’s specifications. During fiscal 2009, the average retail sales price (excluding land) of our manufactured and modular homes was approximately $73,000 and $175,000, respectively.

During fiscal 2009, we also produced commercial modular structures including apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, schools and military barracks and other housing for U.S. military troops. Commercial buildings are constructed in the same factories and using the same assembly lines as the factories where we produce our factory-built homes. These commercial projects are generally engineered to the purchaser’s specifications. The buildings are transported to the customer’s site in the same manner as our homes and are crane set at the site. Commercial projects are finished on site.

We introduced flexible products during fiscal 2009. Flexible products are models that can be built from 1,200-2,400 square feet, built to either HUD-code or modular specifications, all designed with a variety of exterior elevations and available by simply displaying one base model home. This long-term effort has helped us reduce our inventories by over $26 million this year and reduce our floor plan payable by approximately $10 million.

Most factory-built homes come with central air conditioning and heating, a range, refrigerator and carpeting. HUD-code homes also typically contain window treatments. Optional amenities, including washers, dryers, furniture packages and specialty cabinets, as well as features usually associated with site-built homes such as stone fireplaces, ceramic tile floors, showers and countertops, computer rooms, master retreats, 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, and which exceeds statutorily-mandated energy efficiency levels. We have been an ENERGY STAR partner since 1997 and in March 2007, we were named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a 2007 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for our outstanding contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by building energy-efficient homes. In February 2008, we received the U. S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) first Energy Smart label for the green home that we manufactured and displayed at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida.

We are constantly introducing new floor plans, decors, exteriors, features and accessories to appeal to changing trends in different regions of the country. Our factory-built 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 principal materials used in the construction of our factory-built homes are of the same quality as those used by conventional site builders. These components 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 construction 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 27, 2009 represented 9.3% and 5.2%, respectively, of our total purchases. 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.

Our homes are constructed in indoor facilities, which have approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space and employ an average of 150 associates. Construction of our homes is performed in stages using an assembly-line process. HUD-code homes are constructed in one or more sections that is/are permanently attached to a steel support chassis that allows the section to be moved through the facility and transported upon sale. The sections of many of the modular homes we produce are built on wooden floor systems and transported on carriers that are removed during placement of the homes at the home site. The sections are then moved down a tracked path where various components such as floors, interior and exterior walls, ceiling, roof, and other purchased components are added and function testing is performed. We currently complete a typical HUD-code home in approximately five days and a typical modular home in one to two weeks. We believe the efficiency of our process, protection from the weather, and favorable pricing of materials resulting from our substantial purchasing power enables us to produce homes more quickly and often at a lower cost than a conventional site-built home of similar quality.

The completed homes are transported by independent trucking companies to either the retail sales center (stock orders) or to the customer’s site (retail sold orders). The transportation cost is borne by the independent retailer. At the home site, HUD-code homes are placed on the site, the interior and exterior seams are joined, utility hook-ups are made and installation and finish-out services are provided. 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 our homes. 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. Modular homes are typically set by a crane on the foundation, the roof is raised and the final seam of roof shingles along the ridges of the roofline is applied. Modular homes typically require a larger amount of work to be done on-site to complete the homes.

The construction of our factory-built homes is based upon customer orders from retailers and independent dealers, builders and developers. Since orders from retailers may be cancelled prior to production without penalty, we do not consider our order backlog to be a firm indication of future business; however, such cancellations do not often occur. Before scheduling homes for production, customer deposits are received and availability of financing is confirmed with our customer and, with respect to independent dealers, their floor plan lender. As of May 26, 2009, our backlog of manufactured housing orders was approximately $8.9 million, as compared to approximately $14.8 million as of May 27, 2008 and our backlog of modular housing orders as of May 26, 2009 was approximately $35.2 million, as compared to approximately $34.0 million as of May 27, 2008.

Product Distribution

Our homes are sold through a distribution network consisting of retail sales centers we own and independent dealers, builders and developers. Our commercial buildings are sold to the U.S. government, general contractors and developers. The following table sets forth the number of homes and buildings we sold through each of these distribution channels, as well as the number of company-owned retail sales centers and independent dealers, builders and developers during the past three fiscal years:

5

Table of Contents

We currently have 82 company-owned retail sales centers in 14 states and four company-owned builder locations in two states. A typical retail sales center consists of a manufactured home finished out as sales offices, and factory-built model homes of various sizes, floor plans, features and prices. Many of our retail sales centers 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. Our typical builder location consists of a modular model home which serves as both a sales office and a design center which allows customers to select the floor plan and various amenities in their new home.

In addition to our company-owned retail sales centers and builder locations, we also distribute our factory-built homes through independent dealers, builders and developers. The number of homes sold through our independent dealers, builders and developers has decreased by 65.1% over the last two fiscal years. This decline is largely the result of slowdowns in sales to Lifestyle Communities in the 3 key states of Florida, Arizona and California, which historically were some of our most profitable states. Our independent dealer network consists of approximately 80 local dealers that principally market lifestyle communities. Our builder/developer network consists of approximately 70 builders and developers who typically acquire and develop the land and set a foundation for the home. We transport the home to the site and the builder/developer’s contractors lift the home with a crane onto the foundation and subsequently perform finish-out services. The builder/developer may also construct garages, patios, porches and other such additional add-ons.

Markets Served

During the fiscal year ended March 27, 2009, the percentage of our revenues by region was as follows:

The two states which accounted for greater than 10% of our fiscal 2009 revenues were Texas and Florida with approximately 36% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues.

Because the cost of transporting factory-built homes is significant, there is a practical limit to the distance between a manufacturing facility and our retailers or home sites. 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 30 to 50 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

Sales of factory-built homes are significantly affected by the availability and cost of consumer financing. There are three 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 (generally HUD-code homes); non-conforming mortgages for purchasers of the home and the land on which the home is placed; and mortgage loans which comply with the requirements of FHA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The majority of modular homes

Table of Contents

are financed with conventional real estate mortgages. Beginning in mid-1999, loose credit standards for chattel loans led to increased numbers of repossessions of manufactured homes and excessive inventory levels. The poor performance of manufactured home loan portfolios made it difficult for consumer finance companies in the industry to obtain long-term capital in the asset-backed securitization market. As a result, many consumer finance companies curtailed their lending or exited the manufactured housing loan industry entirely. Since then, the lenders who remained in the business tightened their credit standards and increased interest rates for chattel loans which reduced lending volumes and lowered 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 purposes.

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 69% of our homes are sold through our company-owned stores for which no repurchase agreement exists; (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 2009; (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 $6.3 million as of March 27, 2009. During fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, we did not incur any losses under these repurchase agreements.

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 2009. Since the beginning of the industry downturn, several major floor plan lenders have exited the wholesale financing business for our independent dealers and GE, Textron and 21^st Mortgage are all currently in the process of either exiting the business or reducing their lending to the industry. This reduced availability of wholesale financing has resulted in reduced sales to independent dealers, builders and developers during fiscal 2009.

Financial Services Segment

Our financial services subsidiaries’ fiscal year ends on different dates than ours. CountryPlace’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and Standard’s fiscal year ends on the last day of February.

Finance

We provide financing to our customers on competitive terms through our subsidiary, CountryPlace. Through CountryPlace, we currently offer conforming mortgages to purchasers of factory-built homes sold by company- owned retail sales centers and certain independent retail dealers, builders and developers. CountryPlace is an approved seller-servicer with Fannie Mae, and is approved by HUD to originate FHA-insured mortgages under its Direct Endorsement program. CountryPlace does not participate in the sub-prime market. The loans originated through CountryPlace are held for our own investment portfolio or sold to investors. CountryPlace also provides various loan origination and servicing functions for non-affiliated entities under contract. We believe that providing financing alternatives to our customers improves our responsiveness to the financing needs of prospective purchasers and provides us with additional sources of loan origination and servicing earnings.

Loan Portfolio

All of CountryPlace’s loan contracts held for investment, sold to investors, or included in securitized financing transactions 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 full or nearly full amortization of the contract. The following is an analysis of the scheduled repayments of the loans in our portfolio as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

CountryPlace’s policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for 120 days or more. In addition, they place loans on nonaccrual status when there is a clear indication that the borrower has the inability or unwillingness to meet payments as they become due. At March 31, 2009, CountryPlace’s management was not aware of any potential problem loans that would have a material effect on loan delinquency or charge-offs. Loans are subject to continual review and are given management’s attention whenever a problem situation appears to be developing. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of CountryPlace’s non-performing loans and assets as of March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

During fiscal 2009, CountryPlace modified loans to retain borrowers with good payment history. These modifications were considered to represent credit concessions due to hurricane and other repayment matters (such as employment/financial stress) impacting these borrowers. At March 31, 2009, CountryPlace has modified approximately $5.0 million of loans where principal and interest payments have been deferred or waived for periods ranging from one to three months. These loans are not reflected as non-performing loans but as troubled debt restructurings. As of March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses totaled $5.8 million of which $0.1 million is an impairment allowance for these loans.

Loan contracts secured by collateral that is geographically concentrated could experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and foreclosure losses than loan contracts secured by collateral that is more geographically dispersed. CountryPlace has loan contracts secured by factory-built homes located in the following key states as of March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008:

The states of California, Florida, Arizona and, to a lesser degree, Texas, have experienced economic weakness resulting from the decline in real estate values. The risks created by these concentrations have been considered by CountryPlace’s management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. No other states had concentrations in excess of 10% of the principal balance of the consumer loans receivable as of March 31, 2009 or March 31, 2008. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover estimated losses at March 31, 2009.

Insurance

We offer property and casualty insurance as well as extended warranties for owners of manufactured homes through our subsidiary, Standard Casualty. Standard Casualty specializes in the manufactured housing industry, primarily serving the Texas, Georgia, Arizona and New Mexico markets. In Texas, the policies are written through one affiliated managing general agent, which produces all premiums, except surety, through local agents, most of which are manufactured home dealers. All business outside the state of Texas is written on a direct basis through local agents. There are approximately 75 active producing agents.

During fiscal 2009, 92% of homeowners who purchased a home through our own retail superstores purchased extended warranties and 70% purchased property and casualty insurance. At the end of fiscal 2009, Standard Casualty had approximately 11,700 policies in force.

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 market leaders 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 in the markets where we do business. These competitors include national, regional and local banks, independent finance companies, mortgage brokers and mortgage banks. Although the market is highly fragmented, especially for conforming mortgage products, chattel financing is consolidating among a few remaining national lenders: 21^st Mortgage Corporation, an affiliate of Clayton Homes, Inc. and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.; and US Bank Manufactured Housing Finance. Each of these competitors is larger than CountryPlace and has access to substantially more capital at lower costs than CountryPlace.

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 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 (including dividend payments to stockholders) are subject to the rules and regulations of these state agencies.

Cash deposits made by customers are classified as restricted cash in some states. As a result of continued governmental regulations regarding consumer protection, more states are requiring deposits to be restricted cash. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Currently, we have approximately 1,900 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.

Table of Contents

a result of certain factors, actual results could differ materially from these expressed in or implied by such statements. These risks include such assumptions, risks, uncertainties and factors associated with the following:

If the current crisis continues for an extended period of time, or if the crisis worsens, we could face significant problems caused by a lack of liquidity.

We are currently experiencing an extreme crisis in the national and global economy generally as well as in the housing market specifically. This crisis has materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases has resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit and equity markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our operations or refinance our existing debt. Disruptions in the equity markets may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock. In light of this economic crisis and the challenging business conditions that we are currently facing, we are focusing a significant amount of effort on cash generation and preservation. We currently have in excess of $100 million of unlevered assets and we are working with a financial advisor to leverage these assets to generate cash. However, there can be no guarantee that these efforts or any other efforts we take to increase our liquidity will be successful. If the current economic crisis continues for an extended period of time, or if the crisis worsens, we may have insufficient liquidity to meet our financial obligations in the future.

Reduced availability of wholesale financing could have a material adverse effect on us.

We finance a portion of our new inventory at our retail sales centers 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. We have a floor plan facility with Textron. During our third quarter, Textron announced that they are in the process of an orderly liquidation of certain of their commercial finance businesses, including their housing inventory finance business. On April 28, 2009 (with an effective date of January 26, 2009), we agreed to an amendment which includes the following modifications: a new committed amount of $50 million (reduced from $70 million) which will gradually be reduced to $40 million by December 31, 2009, a new facility expiration date of March 31, 2010, a new interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.00%, and new financial covenants. We agreed to a further amendment dated June 4, 2009, which includes the following: extends the expiration date to June 30, 2010; lowers the committed amount from $50 million to $45 million and further lowers it to $40 million upon the earlier of the sale of certain assets or December 31, 2009; alters the maximum quarterly net loss before taxes covenant to exclude any interest expense reflected on the financial statements due to 2009 accounting changes; and requires a prepayment of principal equal to any amounts of cash and cash equivalents greater than $20 million as of March 31, 2010 no later than the earlier of 10 business days after the closing of our fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 or April 30, 2010. We were in compliance with our new financial covenants as of March 27, 2009. Although management believes the new covenant levels for fiscal 2010 are achievable based upon our fiscal 2010 operating plan, there can be no assurances that we will be in compliance. Additionally, in light of market conditions, Textron could also declare a loan violation due to a material adverse change, as defined in the agreement. As a result, if a loan violation were to occur and not be remedied in accordance with the terms of the floor plan facility, Textron could declare an event of default and demand that the full amount of the facility be paid in full prior to maturity, Such a demand, would result in, among other things, a cross default of our convertible senior notes as described in Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements. While we are currently exploring asset sales and other types of capital raising alternatives in order to generate liquidity, there can be no assurance that such activities will be successful or generate cash resources adequate to fully retire the Textron floor plan at maturity. In this event, there can be assurance that Textron will consent to a further amendment of the floor plan facility. Additionally, following the expiration of the Textron facility, there can be no assurance that we will have access to a facility with similar terms. Any inability to borrow money under the Textron facility or one with similar terms, would have a material adverse effect on our operations. Reduced availability of wholesale financing for our independent

dealers (GE, Textron and 21^st Mortgage are all in the process of either exiting the business or reducing their lending to the industry) could also have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the financial services industry may reduce the demand for our homes and the availability of home mortgage financing, among other things.

Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, it may have a material adverse effect on us, our liquidity, our ability to borrow money to finance our operations from our existing lenders or otherwise, and could also adversely impact the availability of financing to our customers.

Deterioration in economic conditions in general could further reduce the demand for homes and, as a result, could reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition.

Changes in national and local economic conditions could have a negative impact on our business. Adverse changes in employment levels, job growth, consumer confidence and income, interest rates and population growth may further reduce demand, depress prices for our homes and cause homebuyers to cancel their agreements to purchase our homes, thereby possibly reducing earnings and adversely affecting our business and results of operations. Recent changes in these economic variables have had an adverse affect on consumer demand for, and the pricing of, our homes, causing our revenues to decline and future deterioration in economic conditions could have further adverse effects.

Changes in laws or other events that adversely affect liquidity in the secondary mortgage market could hurt our business.

The government-sponsored enterprises, principally Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, play a significant role in buying home mortgages and creating investment securities that they either sell to investors or hold in their portfolios. These organizations provide liquidity to the secondary mortgage market. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have recently experienced financial difficulties. Any new federal laws or regulations that restrict or curtail their activities, or any other events or conditions that prevent or restrict these enterprises from continuing their historic businesses, could affect the ability of our customers to obtain the mortgage loans or could increase mortgage interest rates or credit standards, which could reduce demand for our homes and/or the loans that we originate and adversely affect our results of operations.

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

Our retail customers who do not use CountryPlace generally either pay cash or secure financing from third party lenders, which have been negatively affected by adverse loan origination experience. Several major lenders, which had previously provided financing for our customers, have exited the manufactured housing finance business. Reduced availability of such financing is currently having an adverse effect on both 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 FHA, 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. 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.

The factory-built housing industry is currently in a prolonged slump with no recovery in sight.

Historically, the factory-built housing industry has been highly cyclical and seasonal and has experienced wide fluctuations in aggregate sales. The factory-built housing industry is currently in a prolonged slump with no near-term recovery. We are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors beyond our control such as:

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 net sales 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 continue to reduce our manufacturing capacity and distribution channels to effectively align with current and expected regional demand to maintain operating profitability. If the economy continues to worsen, our continued return to operating profitability will be delayed.

During the last three fiscal years, we idled 8 manufacturing plants and one retail sales center to effectively align current and expected regional demand. If the U.S. economy continues to slow, financial markets continue to decline, and more layoffs occur nationally, our realignment will not allow us to return to operating profitability and further cost savings and other measures will be required.

We face increased competition from site builders of residential housing, which may reduce our net sales.

Our homes compete with homes that are built on site. The sales of site built homes are declining and new home inventory is increasing, which is resulting in more site built homes being available at lower prices. Appraisal values of site built homes are declining with greater availability of lower priced site built homes in the market. The increase in availability, along with the decreased price of site built homes, could make them more competitive with our homes. As a result, the sales of our homes could decrease, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

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:

14

Table of Contents

If customers do not repay their loans, CountryPlace may repossess or foreclose in order to liquidate its loan collateral and minimize losses. The homes and land securing the loan are subject to fluctuating market values, and proceeds realized from liquidating repossessed or foreclosed property are highly susceptible to adverse movements in collateral values. Recent and continued trends in general house price depreciation and increasing levels of unemployment may result in additional defaults and exacerbate actual loss severities upon collateral liquidation beyond those normally experienced by CountryPlace. CountryPlace has a significant concentration (approximately 42%) of its borrowers in Texas. To date, Texas has experienced less severe house price depreciation and more stable economic conditions than other parts of the country. However, these conditions may change in the future, and a downturn in economic conditions in Texas could severely affect the performance of CountryPlace’s loans. In addition, CountryPlace has loans in several states that are experiencing rapid house price depreciation, such as Florida, Arizona, and California. This may adversely affect the willingness of CountryPlace’s borrowers in these states to repay their loans and result in lower realized proceeds from liquidating repossessed or foreclosed property in these states.

Some of CountryPlace’s loans may be illiquid and their value difficult to determine or realize.

Some of the loans CountryPlace has originated or may originate in the future may not have a liquid market, or the market may contract rapidly in the future and the loans may become illiquid. Although CountryPlace offers loan products and prices its loans at levels that it believes are marketable at the time of credit application approval, market conditions for mortgage-related loans have deteriorated rapidly and significantly recently. CountryPlace’s ability to respond to changing market conditions is bound by credit approval and funding commitments it makes in advance of loan completion. In this environment, it is difficult to predict the types of loan products and characteristics that may be susceptible to future market curtailments and tailor our loan offerings accordingly. As a result, no assurances can be given that the market value of our loans will not decline in the future, or that a market will continue to exist for all of our loan products.

If CountryPlace is unable to develop sources of long-term funding it may be unable to resume originating chattel and non-conforming mortgage loans.

In the past, CountryPlace securitized loans as its primary source of long-term financing for chattel and non-conforming mortgages. CountryPlace used a warehouse borrowing facility to provide liquidity while aggregating loans prior to securitization. Because of recent significant and continued deterioration in the asset securitization market, CountryPlace is presently unable to rely on warehouse financing for liquidity and can no longer plan to securitize its loans. As a result, CountryPlace has ceased originating chattel and non-conforming mortgage loans for its own portfolio until it determines that a term financing market exists or can be developed for such products. At present, no such market exists, and no assurance can be given that one will develop, or that asset securitization will again be viable term financing method for CountryPlace. Further, no assurance can be given that warehouse financing will be available with economically favorable terms and conditions.

If interest rates increase, the market value of loans held for investment and loans available for sale may be adversely affected.

Fixed rate loans originated by CountryPlace prior to long-term financing or sale to investors are exposed to the risk of increased interest rates between the time of loan origination and term financing or sale. If interest rates for term financings or in the whole-loan market increase after loans are originated, the loans may suffer a decline in market value and our interest margin spreads could be reduced. From time to time, CountryPlace has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge its exposure to such interest rate risk. However, CountryPlace does not always maintain hedges or hedge the entire balances of all loans. Furthermore, interest rate swaps may be ineffective in hedging CountryPlace’s exposure to interest rate risk.

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 be adversely affected and impair CountryPlace’s ability to continue to originate and sell loans to investors.

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 2009, average prices of our raw materials increased 5% compared to fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2008, average raw materials prices decreased 2% compared to fiscal 2007. 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. Although lumber costs have moderated, three of the most important raw materials used in our operations—lumber, gypsum wallboard and insulation—have experienced significant price fluctuations in the past several 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.

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

In accordance with customary practice in the manufactured 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 retailer in its obligation to these credit sources, to repurchase manufactured 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 manufactured homes 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 manufactured 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 retailers could result in defaults by retailers and consequently repurchase obligations on our part may be higher than has historically been the case. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, we did not incur any significant losses under these repurchase agreements.

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 of the Board 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 three shareholders, who may determine the outcome of all elections.

Approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned or controlled by the estate of Lee Posey (our Chairman Emeritus), Sally 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.

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. In addition, one of our competitors provides the largest single source of retail financing in our industry and if they were to discontinue providing this financing, our operating results could be adversely affected.

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 2009, approximately 13% of our net sales 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.

We are concentrated geographically, which could harm our business.

In fiscal 2009, approximately 36% of our net sales were generated in Texas and approximately 13% of our net sales were generated in Florida. A decline in the demand for manufactured housing in Florida has already impacted our operations. While Texas has lagged the national recession to a certain extent, a further decline in the economy of Texas could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations as well.

None.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our properties:

We currently own all of our manufacturing facilities (except one building in Siler City, NC which is leased) and substantially all of the machinery and equipment used in the facilities. We believe our facilities are adequately maintained and suitable for the purposes for which they are used. Our capacity utilization rate was approximately 26% as of March 27, 2009.

In addition to our production facilities, we own 12 properties upon which 7 of our active retail centers are located. The remaining active sales centers are leased under operating leases with lease terms generally ranging from monthly to 10 years.

See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements on our annual impairment analysis for long-term assets, including property, plant and equipment.

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 worked 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. We have closed the site and completed all the necessary paperwork required by the EPA to settle the claim. Under certain circumstances, a state fund may be available to compensate responsible parties for petroleum releases from underground storage tanks. Site characterization is complicated by the presence of contaminants associated with the Indian Bend Wash Area Superfund Site described below. The liability is not estimatable due to our inability to project whether any additional remediation is necessary. 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.

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. Subsequent to March 27, 2009, we received a notice of intent from the Arizona Department of Water Resources to abandon the well. In general, although no assurance can be given, 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.

No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Report to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

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, financing and insurance. As of March 27, 2009, we operated nine manufacturing facilities that sell homes through 86 company-owned retail sales centers and builder locations and approximately 150 independent retail dealers, builders and developers. Through our subsidiary, CountryPlace, we currently offer conforming mortgages to purchasers of factory-built homes sold by company-owned retail sales centers and certain independent retail dealers, builders and developers. The loans originated through CountryPlace are either held for our own investment portfolio or sold to investors. We also provide property and casualty insurance for owners of manufactured homes through our subsidiary, Standard Casualty.

Our results for fiscal 2009 were heavily influenced by the severe state of the factory-built housing industry, the weakness in the overall housing market and the prevailing economic uncertainties and credit crisis. There was a drastic slowdown in demand for factory-built housing products and decline in retail traffic during fiscal 2009. Industry shipments for calendar year 2008 (through November) were down approximately 14% from the prior year’s already historically low levels. The three significant (to both us and the industry) manufactured housing states of Florida, California and Arizona were down a combined 41%. Consumer concerns about the economy and the lack of available credit are keeping potential homebuyers on the sidelines; therefore affecting the demand for factory-built housing. While we expect these conditions to worsen and expect our performance to improve in fiscal 2010, we are likely to still incur a net loss.

With the decline in retail demand, we have focused on new areas of business, including commercial and military projects, which present new revenue opportunities for us. These institutions are looking for a quality provider and we are well positioned as a preferred supplier to meet this demand. During fiscal 2009, we produced barracks and other housing for three military bases.

In light of the current economic crisis and with no near-term signs of recovery for the factory-built housing industry, our top priorities are cash generation and cash preservation in every area of our business. During fiscal 2009, we focused on these priorities through the following:

23

Table of Contents

For the near term, the outlook for housing, both site-built and factory-built, remains extremely challenging. A number of issues must be resolved for any recovery to gain traction, and until inventories decline, housing prices stabilize, credit is restored and general economic fundamentals improve, we do not expect any short-term improvement. In the meantime, our strategy is to manage our operations more efficiently and become a stronger and leaner company. Accordingly, we remain focused on three critical areas in our business for fiscal 2010. Our top priority is to manage our cash and leverage our balance sheet to maintain adequate liquidity through this uncertain business climate. We are also streamlining our operations to reduce both marginal costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, consistent with expected revenues. And finally, we continue to look for new sources of revenue by pursuing our creative efforts like flexible products, commercial and military modular products, and targeted Internet marketing strategies. Regardless of market conditions, we will continue to leverage our core strengths—the most trusted brand name in the industry, a diverse and high-quality product line, manufacturing excellence and exceptional customer service.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, our floor plan lender, Textron Financial Corporation (Textron), announced that they are in the process of an orderly liquidation of certain commercial loan business including their housing finance business. As further discussed in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements, in April 2009, we agreed to an amendment to our floor plan facility which includes a lower total commitment amount (from $70 million to $50 million), a new expiration date of March 31, 2010, new interest rates and new financial covenants. In addition, as discussed in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements, we agreed to a further amendment dated June 4, 2009, which extends the expiration date to June 30, 2010, among other things.

We were in compliance with our new financial covenants as of March 27, 2009. In addition, management believes that new quarterly financial covenants covering maximum net loss before taxes levels, annualized inventory turn and maximum borrowing base, all as defined in the recent amendments, for fiscal 2010 are achievable based upon our fiscal 2010 operating plan. Management has also identified other actions within their control that could be implemented, as necessary, to help us meet these quarterly requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

Additionally, in light of market conditions, it is possible that we may be unable to comply with the new financial covenants during fiscal 2010. Textron could also declare a loan violation due to a material adverse change, as defined in the agreement. As a result, if a loan violation were to occur and not be remedied in accordance with the terms of the floor plan facility, Textron could declare an event of default and demand that the full amount of the facility be paid in full prior to maturity. Such a demand would result in, among other things, a cross default of our convertible senior notes described in Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements.

While we are currently exploring asset sales and other types of capital raising alternatives in order to generate liquidity, there can be no assurance that such activities will be successful or generate cash resources adequate to fully retire the Textron floor plan facility at maturity. In this event, there can be no assurance that Textron will consent to a further amendment of the floor plan facility agreement.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the items in our Statements of Operations as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics as of and for the period indicated.

2009 Compared to 2008

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 26.3% to $409.3 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $555.1 million in fiscal 2008. This decrease is primarily the result of a $140.3 million decrease in factory-built housing net sales and a $5.5 million decrease in financial services net revenues. The decline in factory-built housing net sales is primarily due to a 28.7% decrease in the total number of factory-built homes sold coupled with decreases in the average selling prices of new modular and manufactured homes. The decrease in the total number of factory-built homes sold reflects the severe state of the factory-built housing industry, the prevailing economic uncertainties, credit crisis and general consumer paralysis that has kept potential homebuyers on the sidelines. Also, we were operating 20 fewer retail stores and four less factories than last year. Homes sold to independent dealers, builders and developers decreased 43.4% in fiscal 2009 largely due to slowdowns in sales to Lifestyle Communities in the three key states of Florida, California and Arizona, which historically were some of our most profitable states. The reduction in independent sales was bolstered by $16.7 million in commercial and military modular sales. The

decrease in the average selling prices is the result of our lower-priced products. The decrease in financial services net revenues reflects a decline in the average consumer loans balance from $248.0 million for fiscal 2008 to $229.6 million for fiscal 2009, resulting from the sale of approximately $51.3 million of loans in April 2008.

Gross Profit. In fiscal 2009, gross profit decreased to 23.7% of net sales, or $96.8 million, from 24.1% of net sales, or $133.7 million in fiscal 2008. Gross profit for the factory-built housing segment decreased to 18.8% of net sales in fiscal 2009 from 19.7% in fiscal 2008. The decline in factory-built housing margin is primarily the result of increased manufacturing costs driven by rapidly rising material costs. This decline is partially offset by an increase in margin resulting from the impact of the restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to close 18 under-performing sales centers and three less than efficient plants coupled with an increase in the internalization rate (the percentage of factory-built homes we manufactured and sold through our company-owned retail stores and builder locations) from 64% in fiscal 2008 to 69% in fiscal 2009. Gross profit for the financial services segment decreased $5.8 million in fiscal 2009 due to decreased net revenues as explained above in the net sales section. However, the financial services segment produced gross profit of $27.1 million in fiscal 2009 and positively contributed to our cash flow.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 29.4% of net sales in fiscal 2009 from 27.1% of net sales in fiscal 2008. This increase resulted from the larger percentage decline in net sales. In dollars, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $30.2 million to $120.4 million in fiscal 2009 from $150.6 million in fiscal 2008. Of this $30.2 million decrease, $21.5 million related to the factory-built housing segment, $1.9 million related to the financial services segment and $6.8 million related to general corporate expenses. The majority of the reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the factory-built housing segment and general corporate expenses resulted from the restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to close 18 under-performing sales centers and three less than efficient plants, plus a reduction in performance based compensation expense. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the financial services segment relates to a $1.5 million one-time performance-based compensation payment in fiscal 2008. The payment was based on CountryPlace profitability from inception (2002) through 2007.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill impairment was $78.5 million for fiscal 2008. Due to the difficult market environment and our operating losses, we determined that an interim test to assess the recoverability of goodwill was necessary. With the assistance of an independent valuation firm, we performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis and concluded that the goodwill relating to our factory-built housing reporting unit was impaired. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $78.5 million to fully impair the goodwill related to our factory-built housing segment.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 17.4% to $15.4 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $18.7 million in fiscal 2008. Of this decrease, $1.7 million related to decreased interest expense on the average balance of the warehouse facility which was terminated April 30, 2008 and $1.4 million related to decreased interest expense on the average balance of the securitized loans resulting from reduced securitization financing balances in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008.

Gain on Repurchase of Convertible Senior Notes. During fiscal 2009, we repurchased $21.2 million of our convertible senior notes for $10.6 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $10.6 million.

Other Income. Other income decreased 42.2% to $2.1 million in fiscal 2009 from $3.6 million in fiscal 2008 primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in interest and dividend income resulting from reduced rates of return coupled with lower average cash and cash equivalent balances. This is offset by a $0.4 million increase on income earned on a real estate investment.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense). Income tax benefit was $8,000 in fiscal 2009 as compared to expense of $13.9 million in fiscal 2008. The $13.9 million of income tax expense for fiscal 2008 related to our recording a valuation allowance against all of our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits associated with these assets.

2008 Compared to 2007

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 16.1% to $555.1 million in fiscal 2008 from $661.2 million in fiscal 2007. This decrease is primarily the result of a $111.6 million decrease in factory-built housing net sales offset by a $5.4 million increase in financial services net revenues. The decline in factory-built housing net sales is primarily due to a 19.1% decrease in the total number of factory-built homes sold and decreases in the average retail and wholesale selling prices of new manufactured homes offset by an increase in the average retail selling price of a new modular home. The decrease in the total number of factory-built homes sold is largely due to a 38.3% decrease in the homes sold to independent dealers, builders and developers, the majority of which related to shipments to the states of Florida, California and Arizona, which prior to 2006 were typically some of our most profitable states (see Executive Overview section above for more details). These states have been especially impacted by decreased manufactured home sales to manufactured housing retirement communities. The decrease in the average retail and wholesale selling prices of new manufactured homes is the result of our new lower-priced products. The increase in the average selling prices of a new modular home is the result of customers purchasing larger modular homes. The increase in financial services net revenues primarily reflects an increase in interest income resulting from an increase in consumer loans receivable as of March 31, 2008 as compared March 31, 2007.

Gross Profit. In fiscal 2008, gross profit decreased to $133.7 million, or 24.1% of net sales, from $157.8 million, or 23.9% of net sales in fiscal 2007. Gross profit for the factory-built housing segment decreased to 19.7% of net sales in fiscal 2008 from 20.8% in fiscal 2007. Factory-built housing gross profit for fiscal 2008 includes $2.9 million in restructuring charges related to closing 18 under-performing sales centers and 3 less than efficient plants and for fiscal 2007 includes $2.4 million in restructuring charges related to closing 13 sales centers and 2 plants in fiscal 2007. Excluding these charges, gross profit for the factory-built housing segment would have been 20.3% in fiscal 2008 and 21.2% in fiscal 2007. This decrease was the result of a decline in the factory utilization rates coupled with continued pressure on our manufactured housing wholesale margins in Florida, California and Arizona and offset by an increase in the internalization rate from 58% in fiscal 2007 to 64% in fiscal 2008. Gross profit for the financial services segment increased $4.9 million in fiscal 2008 primarily due to increased interest income as explained above in the net sales section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $150.6 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to $160.0 million in fiscal 2007. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 27.1% for fiscal 2008 from 24.2% for fiscal 2007. Of this $9.5 million decrease, $12.4 million related to the factory-built housing segment and was offset by a $2.9 million increase in financial services (general corporate expenses were essentially flat with the prior year). Factory-built housing expenses include $5.4 million in charges related to closing 18 under-performing sales centers and 3 less than efficient plants in fiscal 2008 and $3.7 million in restructuring charges related to closing 13 sales centers and 2 plants in fiscal 2007. Excluding these charges, selling, general and administrative expenses for the factory-built housing segment decreased $14.0 million. This decrease is largely the result of the cost savings steps we put in place during fiscal 2007 plus a reduction in performance based compensation costs and operating fewer manufacturing facilities and sales centers. Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the financial services segment increased in fiscal 2008 due to a $1.5 million one-time performance-based compensation payment. The payment was based on CountryPlace profitability from inception (2002) through 2007.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill impairment was $78.5 million for fiscal 2008. Due to the difficult market environment, particularly the recent fallout in the sub-prime market, and our recent losses, we determined that an interim test to assess the recoverability of goodwill was necessary. With the assistance of an independent valuation firm, we performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis and concluded that the goodwill relating to our factory-built housing reporting unit was impaired. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $78.5 million related to our factory-built housing segment goodwill balance.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 18.9% to $18.7 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to $15.7 million in fiscal 2007. As a result of the completion of CountryPlace’s second securitization in March 2007, our interest expense on securitized financings increased $4.4 million and was offset by a $2.7 million decrease in interest expense on our warehouse revolving debt. Also, interest expense on floor plan payable increased $0.8 million. The interest rate on the warehouse revolving debt and the floor plan payable is variable.

Equity in Loss of Limited Partnership and Impairment Charges. Equity in loss of limited partnership and impairment charges was zero in fiscal 2008 as compared to a $4.7 million loss in fiscal 2007. The $4.7 million loss in fiscal 2007 includes the write off of our investment in BSM of $4.4 million effective September 29, 2006. On May 19, 2007, we executed an agreement to terminate our partnership with BSM effective June 7, 2007. Under the termination agreement, we have no further financial obligation to BSM.

Interest Income and Other. Interest income and other decreased 26.0% to $3.6 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to $4.9 million in fiscal 2007. The $1.3 million decrease was primarily the result of a $0.8 million decrease in interest and dividend income and a $0.4 million impairment charge on investment securities in fiscal 2008. The impairment on investment securities related to the write down of an other-than-temporary loss on an available-for-sale investment security. Interest income in 2008 was also impacted by reduced rates of return.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense). Income tax expense was $13.9 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to a benefit of $6.1 million in fiscal 2007. Due to the difficult market environment, particularly the recent fallout in the sub-prime market, and our recent losses, we reviewed the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and determined that realization of the deferred tax benefits were uncertain. In fiscal 2008, we recorded a $31.1 million valuation allowance against all of our net deferred tax assets resulting in income tax expense for fiscal 2008 of $13.9 million. In fiscal 2007, we recorded a $6.1 million benefit on our loss before income taxes of $17.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.4 million at March 27, 2009, down from $28.2 million at March 28, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities was $56.1 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to net cash used of $32.8 million in fiscal 2008. The cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2009 is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the sale of consumer loans and principal payments on consumer loans originated. Also, the amount of net cash used for consumer loans has decreased as a result of CountryPlace not accepting applications for chattel loans and non-conforming mortgages.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.9 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to net cash net cash used of $0.2 million in fiscal 2008. This increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to an increase in net cash received from divesting available-for-sale securities as well as a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $77.8 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $16.9 million in fiscal 2008. Net cash used in financing activities is primarily the result of $42.2 million used to repay in full and terminate the warehouse borrowing facility with Citigroup, $10.6 million used to repurchase $21.2 million of our convertible senior notes and $10.0 million used to pay down our floor plan payable.

We have an agreement with Textron for a floor plan facility. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Textron announced that they are in the process of an orderly liquidation of certain of their commercial finance businesses, including their housing inventory finance business. On April 28, 2009 (with an effective date of January 26, 2009), we agreed to an amendment which includes the following modifications: a new committed amount of $50 million (reduced from $70 million) which will gradually be reduced to $40 million by December 31, 2009, a new facility expiration date of March 31, 2010, a new interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.00%, and new financial

covenants. The new financial covenants we had to comply with as of March 27, 2009 were a maximum quarterly net loss before taxes of $15 million, a minimum inventory turn of 2.75, and a maximum borrowing base requirement of 60% of eligible finished goods inventory. For the remaining quarters of fiscal 2010, the aggregate maximum net loss before taxes covenant requirement is reduced to $10 million. The facility has an advance rate of 90% of manufacturer’s invoice and is principally secured by new home inventory and a portion of receivables from financial institutions. As of March 27, 2009 and March 28, 2008, we had $49.4 million and $59.4 million, respectively, outstanding under the floor plan credit facility.

We agreed to a further amendment dated June 4, 2009, which includes the following:

We were in compliance with our new financial covenants as of March 27, 2009. In addition, management believes that new quarterly financial covenants covering maximum net loss before taxes levels, annualized inventory turn and maximum borrowing base, all as defined in the recent amendments, for fiscal 2010 are achievable based upon our fiscal 2010 operating plan. Management has also identified other actions within their control that could be implemented, as necessary, to help us meet these quarterly requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

Additionally, in light of market conditions, it is possible that we may be unable to comply with the new financial covenants during fiscal 2010. Textron could also declare a loan violation due to a material adverse change, as defined in the agreement. As a result, if a loan violation were to occur and not be remedied in accordance with the terms of the floor plan facility, Textron could declare an event of default and demand that the full amount of the facility be paid in full prior to maturity. Such a demand would result in, among other things, a cross default of our convertible senior notes described in Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements.

While we are currently exploring asset sales and other types of capital raising alternatives in order to generate liquidity, there can be no assurance that such activities will be successful or generate cash resources adequate to fully retire the Textron floor plan facility at maturity. In this event, there can be no assurance that Textron will consent to a further amendment of the floor plan facility agreement.

In fiscal 2005, we issued $75.0 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. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of our existing and future unsecured and senior indebtedness. The note holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash on May 15, 2011, May 15, 2014 and May 15, 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. 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 2009, 2008 and 2007, the effect of converting the senior notes to 2.1 million, 2.9 million and 2.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, was anti-dilutive, and, therefore, was not considered in determining diluted earnings per share. During fiscal 2009, we repurchased $21.2 million of the Notes for $10.6 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $10.6 million.

On July 12, 2005, we, through CountryPlace, completed our initial securitization (“2005-1”) 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 an expected 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.

On March 22, 2007, we, through CountryPlace, completed our second securitization (“2007-1”) for approximately $116.5 million of loans, which was funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $101.9 million. The bonds were issued in four classes: Class A-1 totaling $28.9 million with a coupon rate of 5.484%; Class A-2 totaling $23.4 million with a coupon rate of 5.232%; Class A-3 totaling $24.5 million with a coupon rate of 5.593%; and Class A-4 totaling $25.1 million with a coupon rate of 5.846%. Maturity of the bonds is at varying dates beginning in 2008 through 2017 and were issued with an expected weighted average maturity of 4.86 years. The proceeds from the securitization were used to repay approximately $97.1 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 also structured as a securitized borrowing. CountryPlace’s obligation under this securitized financing is guaranteed by us.

Upon completion of the 2007-1 securitization, CountryPlace extinguished its interest rate swap agreement on its variable rate debt which was used to hedge against an increase in variable interest rates. Upon extinguishment of the hedge, CountryPlace recorded a loss of $1.0 million, net of tax, for the change in fair value to other comprehensive income (loss), which is amortized to interest expense over the life of the loans.

CountryPlace had an agreement with a financial institution for a $150.0 million warehouse borrowing facility to fund loans originated by CountryPlace. On April 25, 2008, CountryPlace sold approximately $51.3 million of its warehoused portfolio of chattel and mortgage loans. Approximately $41.5 million of the proceeds were used to repay in full and terminate the warehouse borrowing facility scheduled to expire on April 30, 2008. In January 2009, CountryPlace obtained a $10.0 million construction lending line to use for financing mortgage loans during the construction period. There is no expiration period for the agreement, but CountryPlace is obligated to repurchase individual loans within 180 days from the date of original purchase of each respective loan by the financial institution. Historically, the construction period has been approximately ninety days. The construction lender has full discretion to accept or decline each individual loan purchase requested by CountryPlace. The maximum advance for loans purchased is 92% of the loan amount. The interest rate on unpaid amounts advanced is 10%. CountryPlace had outstanding unpaid advances under the facility of $3.6 million as of March 31, 2009. The facility contains certain requirements relating to the documentation of the loans purchased and amounts drawn during the construction period of each individual loan, which are customary in the industry. CountryPlace funds the difference between the amounts advanced under the facility and the balance of any additional loan.

CountryPlace currently originates conforming mortgage loans for sale to Fannie Mae and other investors. CountryPlace plans to retain the associated servicing rights. In addition, CountryPlace plans to continue holding its remaining portfolio of chattel, non-conforming mortgages 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 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 and we may incur additional loan losses.

At present, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securitization markets are effectively closed to CountryPlace and other manufactured housing lenders, and no assurances can be made that a securitization or other term financing market will be available to CountryPlace in the future. At such time in the future that any securitization or other term financing market re-emerges, CountryPlace intends to resume originating chattel and non-conforming mortgages for its investment portfolio. While we believe CountryPlace will be able to obtain liquidity through sales of conforming mortgages to Fannie Mae and other investors, no assurances can be made that these investors will continue to purchase loans secured by factory-built homes, or that CountryPlace will successfully complete transactions on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we completed two sale leaseback transactions (one transaction was with two members of senior management of the Company who are related parties) where we sold in total 13 retail sales center properties for $6.5 million in cash. One transaction (the related party transaction) resulted in a $0.7 million gain which will be amortized over the term of the lease and the other transaction resulted in a $0.5 million loss which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. Concurrent with the sale, we leased the properties back for a period of ten years at an aggregate annual rental of $0.6 million plus escalation under certain circumstances. The lease is renewable at our option for an additional five years. We do not have continuing involvement in the properties other than through a normal sale-leaseback.

In light of the economic crisis and challenging business environment, our top priorities are cash generation and cash preservation in every area of our operations. We have been working with a financial advisor to leverage $100 million of unlevered assets in an attempt to generate cash through this uncertain economic environment. As previously mentioned, we sold $51.3 million of CountryPlace’s warehoused portfolio of chattel and mortgage loans for a gain of $1.3 million, obtained a $10.0 million construction lending line for CountryPlace to use for financing mortgage loans and completed two sale leaseback transactions for $6.5 million in cash. Additionally, we took advantage of market conditions and retired $21.2 million of our convertible senior notes for $10.6 million of cash, resulting in a gain of $10.6 million. We accomplished all these things and still funded $20 million in committed pipeline loans from working capital when our warehouse lender exited the business.

Typically our wholesale customers pay within 15 days. During fiscal 2009, we began building barracks and other housing for the U.S. Government. These government contracts have longer payment periods, which have put pressure on our cash balance. In response to these cash pressures, on April 27, 2009, the Company issued warrants to each of Capital Southwest Venture Corporation, Sally Posey and the Estate of Lee Posey (collectively, the lenders) to purchase up to an aggregate of 429,939 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $3.14 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 24, 2009. The warrants were granted in connection with a loan made by the lenders to the Company of an aggregate of $4.5 million pursuant to senior subordinated secured promissory notes between the Company and each of the lenders (collectively, the Promissory Notes). The proceeds were used for working capital purposes. If the Promissory Notes are not repaid in full by June 29, 2009, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be purchased may be increased by an amount equal to $450,000 divided by the closing price of the common stock on June 29, 2009. The warrants, which expire on April 24, 2019, contain anti-dilution provisions and other customary provisions. The Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% and are secured by 150,000 shares of Standard’s common stock. The Promissory Notes also restrict the Company from selling, leasing or otherwise transferring all or any material portion of its assets or businesses’ without the lenders’ consent.

We believe that our cash on hand and the proceeds from floor plan financing, conforming mortgage sales, and any other available borrowing alternatives will be adequate to support our working capital needs and currently planned capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. However, our top priorities are cash generation and conservation throughout our operations to help support these cash needs as well. Because future cash flows and the availability of financing will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing economic and financial conditions, business, credit market conditions, and other factors beyond our control, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Contractual Obligations (dollars in thousands)

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations, including interest, at March 27, 2009. For additional information related to these obligations, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, sales 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.

Recovery of Deferred Tax Asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. To the extent we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized prior to expiration, we are required to establish a valuation allowance against that portion of our deferred tax assets. The determination of valuation allowances involves significant management judgment and is based upon the evaluation of both

positive and negative evidence, including our best estimates of anticipated taxable profits in the various jurisdictions with which the deferred tax assets are associated. Changes in events or expectations could result in significant adjustments to the valuation allowances and material changes to our provision for income taxes.

Due to the difficult market environment and the losses we recorded during fiscal 2007 and early 2008, we reviewed our deferred tax assets during fiscal 2008 to determine whether a valuation allowance was necessary. In fiscal 2008, we recognized a $31.9 million valuation allowance against all of our net deferred tax assets which resulted in us recording an income tax provision of approximately $13.9 million. In fiscal 2009, we recorded an additional $14.9 million valuation allowance and an income tax benefit of $8,000. If, after future considerations of positive and negative evidence related to the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, we determine a lesser allowance is required, we would record a reduction to income tax expense and the valuation allowance in the period of such determination.

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. Sales of our commercial buildings, including shipping charges, are recognized when the customer enters into a legally binding sales contract, title has transferred and the home is substantially completed and accepted by the customer. 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, sales are 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.

Transfers of Financial Assets. CountryPlace completed two securitizations of factory-built housing loan receivables, both of which were accounted for as financings, which use 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. The securitizations include provisions for removal of accounts by CountryPlace and other factors that preclude sale accounting of the securitizations under SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”

The structure of CountryPlace’s securitizations have 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 pooling and servicing agreements with the securitization trusts. 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 2005-1 securitization pooling and servicing agreement.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses reflects CountryPlace’s judgment of the probable loss exposure on their loan portfolio as of the end of the reporting period. CountryPlace’s loan portfolio is comprised of loans related primarily to factory-built Palm Harbor homes. The allowance for loan losses is developed at a portfolio level and not allocated to specific individual loans or to impaired loans. A range of probable losses is calculated after giving consideration to, among other things, the composition of the loan portfolio, including historical loss experience by static pool, expected probable losses based on industry knowledge of losses for a given range of borrower credit scores, the composition of the portfolio by credit score and seasoning, and recent loss experience. CountryPlace then makes a determination of the best estimate within the range of loan losses.

The accrual of interest is discontinued when either principal or interest is more than 120 days past due. In addition, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when there is a clear indication that the borrower has the inability or unwillingness to meet payments as they become due. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. As of March 31, 2009, CountryPlace management was not aware of any potential problem loans that would have a material effect on loan delinquency or charge-offs.

The portion of the loan portfolio with payments delinquent sixty-one or more days has increased to 2.09% at March 31, 2009 from 1.00% at March 31, 2008. CountryPlace management believes this increase is attributable primarily to two factors: 1) anticipated increases expected with the aging of the portfolio; and 2) deterioration in general economic conditions, including increasing levels of unemployment and continued house-price depreciation in certain states.

Based on prior experience with factory-built home loan performance, CountryPlace management expects the incidence of defaults to increase as loans age for the first three to six years of a portfolio life, and then decrease in later years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the portfolio increased from 29 months at March 31, 2008 to 46 months at March 31, 2009. This age difference includes the effect of the April, 2008 sale of $51.3 million of loans receivable which had a weighted average age of 6 months.

House price depreciation and economic weakness has continued to adversely affect the rates of delinquency and default in mortgage loan portfolios. California, Florida, and Arizona have been especially affected. With the exception of a 42.6% concentration of loans receivable in Texas, CountryPlace’s loan portfolio is well diversified across 27 states. Accordingly, CountryPlace’s exposure to isolated local or regional economic downturns is, in normal conditions, offset by more favorable economic conditions in other states. To date, Texas has performed better than in other states in the current economic downturn and CountryPlace’s loans receivable concentration in Texas has offset the effects of economic weakness in other states. The portion of CountryPlace’s loans receivable in Texas that were 61 days or more past due at March 31, 2009 was 1.27%, or 0.82% lower than the delinquency rate for the total loans receivable portfolio.

The portion of CountryPlace’s loans receivable in Florida that were past due sixty-one days or more at March 31, 2009 increased to 3.51% from 1.51% at March 31, 2008. While loans receivable in Florida represented 7.1% of CountryPlace’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2009, Florida loans receivable past due 61 days or more represented 0.25% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2009, up from 0.10% at March 31, 2008. With the exception of Florida, delinquency performance for the Company’s loans receivable in the three states most severely affected by house price depreciation indicates that the effects of declining house prices in these states in general has had little or no discernable effect to date on the overall performance of CountryPlace’s loans receivable portfolio. Delinquent accounts in Arizona and California represent 0.14% and 0.06%, respectively, of the total loans receivable balance.

Deteriorating performance of mortgage loans in general has been driven, in large part, by product features (such as adjustable rates, interest-only payments, payment options, etc.) that have a high propensity to induce payment shock or negative equity, and underwriting practices which relied on the expectation of continuous house price. CountryPlace’s portfolio is comprised entirely of fixed-rate, full-amortizing loans. CountryPlace’s underwriting practices and risk management policies have been based on an assumption that the manufactured home collateral would depreciate, rather than appreciate, in value over the life of the loan. Accordingly, its credit standards are based on both the borrowers’ capacity to repay the loan as scheduled, and the borrowers’ history of satisfying repayment obligations. As a result, CountryPlace management believes the portfolio is less susceptible to defaults due to adjustable interest rate resets and default losses, since house price depreciation has always been considered in determining CountryPlace’s allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009 was $5.8 million, or approximately 2.9% of the $203.0 million total consumer loans receivable and construction advances balance. We believe this allowance is adequate for expected loan losses, considering the geographic and loan-type concentrations of the portfolio, the age and remaining life of the portfolio, expected overall future credit losses, and recent delinquency experience by geographic area and type of loan collateral.

Inventory Valuation. Inventory consists of raw material and finished goods (factory-built homes). We carry very little land held for development and we do not purchase options to acquire land inventory.

Each quarter we assess the recoverability of our inventory by comparing the carrying amount to its estimated net realizable value. Our raw materials consist of home building materials and supplies and turn approximately 3 times per month. Our finished goods consist of homes completed under customer order and homes available for purchase at our retail sales centers. We evaluate the recoverability of our finished homes by comparing our inventory cost to our estimated sales price, less costs to sell. We estimate our sales price by product type (HUD code and modular). Approximately 40% of our inventory is located in Texas, where the factory-built housing business has not experienced the same declines as California and Florida. Historically, the amount of our inventory valuation adjustments has been immaterial. We are not aware of any trends or other factors that are reasonably likely to result in valuation adjustments in future periods. These valuations are significantly impacted by estimated average selling prices, average sales rates and product type. Our quarterly assessments reflect management’s estimates, which we believe are reasonable. However, based on the general economic conditions, future results could differ materially from management’s judgments and estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion” (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. In addition, transaction costs incurred with third parties that directly relate to the issuance of convertible debt instruments shall be allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt and equity issuance costs, respectively. The provisions of FSP APB 14-1 shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented when adopted. The provisions of FSP APB 14-1 are effective for our 3.25% convertible notes on March 28, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the effects of FSP APB 14-1 on our consolidated financial statements. However, while our cash payments for interest on the 3.25% convertible notes will not be affected, based upon current amounts outstanding, we expect that upon adoption we will have higher annual interest expense through May 2011. Additionally, as the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 is retrospective, non-cash adjustments to increase interest expense in prior periods will be reflected in future filings, along with corresponding non-cash adjustments to record the unamortized portion of a debt discount on our 3.25% convertible notes, reduce retained earnings, increase additional paid-in capital, and reflect related income tax effects, as appropriate.

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. 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 level of variable rate debt as of March 27, 2009 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 $0.5 million.

CountryPlace is exposed to market risk related to the accessibility and terms of long-term financing of its loans. In the past, CountryPlace accessed the asset-backed securities market to provide term financing of its chattel and non-conforming mortgage originations. At present, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securitization markets are effectively closed to CountryPlace and other manufactured housing lenders. Accordingly, it is unlikely that CountryPlace can continue to securitize its loan originations as a means to obtain long-term funding. This inability to continue to securitize its loans caused CountryPlace to discontinue origination of chattel loans and non-conforming mortgages until other sources of funding are available.

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, 2009 is held constant, a 10% increase in average interest rates would increase the fair value of CountryPlace’s portfolio by approximately $39,000. 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 27, 2009 is held constant, a 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the notes by approximately $0.5 million.
