PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Cavco Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on June 30, 2003 as a successor
corporation to previous Cavco entities operating since 1965. Cavco is the largest producer of
manufactured homes in Arizona, based on data from Statistical Surveys, Inc., and a leading producer
of park model homes and vacation cabins in the United States, having made wholesale shipments of
2,603 manufactured housing units during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. We are also the
9th largest producer of HUD code manufactured homes in the United States, based on 2007
total home production data published by Manufactured Home Merchandiser, an industry trade
publication. Our business encompasses manufacturing operations and wholesale and retail marketing.
The terms Cavco, us, we, our, the Company, and any other similar terms refer to Cavco
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated in this Form 10-K.
Our factory-built homes are produced under various trade names and in a variety of floor plans
and price ranges. We produce homes constructed to the building standards promulgated by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and by the International and Universal
Building Codes as well as park model homes and vacation cabins. Our HUD code homes generally range
in size from approximately 500 to 3,300 square feet and typically include two to five bedrooms, a
living room, dining room, kitchen and two or more full bathrooms. Most of these are multi-section
homes, although we also produce single-section homes. Our park model homes are less than 400
square feet in size and are purchased primarily for use as second homes, vacation homes or for
retirement living and are placed in planned communities or recreational home parks. We also
produce vacation cabins and commercial structures for a variety of purposes, including offices and
showrooms.
We operate three manufacturing plants in the Phoenix, Arizona area and one in Seguin, Texas.
Our factories range in size from 79,000 to 250,000 square feet. During May 2009, the Company
initiated a plan to move its park model and vacation cabin manufacturing operations from its
Specialty plant to a second production line at its Litchfield facility. This move will provide
greater capabilities for the production of park models, cabins, and other specialty buildings,
create improved overall operational efficiencies at the Litchfield factory, as well as reduce
overhead expenses. For additional information, see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements. We construct our homes using an assembly-line process in which each section or floor
is assembled in stages. Our assembly-line process is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate
significant customization as requested by our customers.
We sell manufactured homes through both a network of independent retailers and through
Company-owned retail outlets. As of March 31, 2009, our products were offered for sale through
approximately 322 independent retail outlets in 23 states and Canada. A majority of these
independent retail outlets are located in Arizona, California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah
and Nevada. As of March 31, 2009, we had a total of 6 Company-owned retail outlets, located in
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. We expect to close less than half of our remaining retail outlets
during the next 12 months because they have under-performed in recent years. We do not anticipate
that retail outlet closures will materially affect the operations of our manufacturing segment as
these outlets do not sell a significant amount of products manufactured by us. See Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Industry and Company
Outlook.
Despite a protracted downturn in the manufactured housing industry, we generated income from
continuing operations before income taxes of $0.3 million, $9.1 million and $17.4 million for
fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We believe that our ability to maintain annual
profitability from our continuing operations during the current industry downturn is attributable
in significant part to efficient production, a high value product line, focused sales efforts,
stringent cost control and a strong balance sheet.
Industry Overview
General. Manufactured housing provides an alternative in urban, suburban and rural areas to
other forms of new low-cost housing, such as site-built housing and condominiums, and to existing
housing such as pre-owned homes and apartments. According to statistics published by the Institute
for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS), and the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of
the Census, for the year ended December 31, 2008, manufactured housing wholesale shipments of HUD
code homes accounted for an estimated 12% of all new single-family housing starts and 15% of all
new single-family homes sold.
Industry wholesale shipments of HUD code homes totaled approximately 82,000 homes in 2008
versus 96,000 homes in 2007 according to data reported by the Manufactured Housing Institute
(MHI).

Table of Contents
We believe the segment of the housing market in which manufactured housing is most competitive
includes consumers with household incomes under $40,000. This segment has a high representation of
young single persons and young married couples, as well as seniors and retired persons. The
comparatively low cost of fully-equipped manufactured housing attracts these consumers. Persons in
rural areas, where fewer housing alternatives exist, and those who presently live in manufactured
homes also make up a significant portion of the demand for new manufactured housing.
Protracted Industry Downturn. Since mid-1999, the manufactured housing industry has
experienced a prolonged and significant downturn. This downturn has resulted in part from the fact
that, beginning in 1999, consumer lenders in the sector began to tighten underwriting standards and
curtail credit availability in response to higher than anticipated rates of loan defaults and
significant losses upon the repossession and resale of the manufactured homes securing defaulted
loans. In more recent years, the industrys downturn was exacerbated by the aggressive financing
methods utilized by developers and marketers of standard site-built homes which had the effect of
diverting potential manufactured housing customers to more expensive site-built homes, the global
credit crisis, and general deterioration of economic conditions. These factors have resulted in
declining wholesale shipments and excess manufacturing and retail locations.
As a result of the foregoing factors, based on industry data as of the end of 2008, an
estimated 68% of all industry retail locations have closed since the end of 1999 and the number of
active industry manufacturing facilities has dropped by 153 plants over the same period,
representing a 47% reduction. These industry conditions have adversely affected the results of
operations of all of the major producers of manufactured homes, including our Company.
The principal regional markets we have targeted have also experienced a pronounced downturn.
By the end of 2008, the number of manufactured housing units shipped in Arizona had declined
approximately 76% from the peak in 1999. Likewise, severe declines were experienced in New Mexico
and Texas, where the number of manufactured housing units shipped
declined approximately 83% and
76%, respectively, by the end of 2008 from their respective peak
levels in 1996 and 1998. More recently, the California
manufactured housing market has suffered a significant downturn, as the number of manufactured
housing units shipped has decreased 74% at the end of 2008 compared to 2005. U.S. wholesale
shipments and retail sales of manufactured homes could continue to experience adverse conditions
for the remainder of calendar year 2009 due to some or all of the factors described above. We
expect industry sales volumes to be adversely affected until, among other factors, consumer and
wholesale financing is more readily available.
Business Strategies
Our marketing strategy is to offer a line of manufactured homes that appeal to a wide range of
homebuyers. Our principal focus is the mainstream market, which involves the sale of high-value
homes to entry-level and move-up buyers. We also market to special niches such as sub-division
developers, senior living community operations and vacation homebuyers.
Our production strategy is to develop and maintain the resources necessary to build to varied
and unique customer specifications in an efficient factory production environment. This enables us
to attract retailers and consumers who want the flexibility to build homes to meet their specific
needs, but still seek the value created by building a home on a factory production line.
Our competitive strategy is to build homes of superior quality, offer innovative designs and
floor plans, demonstrate exceptional value, and provide the engineering and technical resources to
enable custom home building and to be responsive and efficient in servicing the customer after the
sale. We strive to maintain a competitive advantage by reacting quickly to changes in the
marketplace and to the specific needs of our retailers and consumers.
Products
Most of our homes are constructed in accordance with the National Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards promulgated by HUD. Approximately 62% of the homes we produced
in fiscal year 2009 were HUD code homes. The remaining homes we build are primarily park model
homes, which are constructed to standards approved by the American National Standards Institute, a
private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates a voluntary standardization and
conformity program. We also produce modular homes, vacation cabins and commercial structures built
to state and local standards.
We produce a broad range of HUD code homes under various trade names and brand names and in a
variety of floor plans and price ranges. Substantially all of these homes are ranch-style homes.
Our HUD code homes generally range in size from approximately 500 to 3,300 square feet. In fiscal
year 2009, we produced and sold 2,603 homes, of which 1,265 were multi-section. Included in
single-section production are park model homes, which are less than 400 square feet in size and are
purchased primarily for use as second homes, vacation homes or retirement living and are placed in
planned communities or recreational home parks.
Each home contains a living room, dining area, kitchen, one to five bedrooms and one or more
bathrooms, and is equipped with central heating and hot water systems, kitchen appliances,
carpeting and window treatments. Feature upgrades include fireplaces, central air conditioning,
tile roofs, high ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and cabinetry, granite countertops, and
energy conservation items. We also offer a variety of structural and decorative customizations to
meet the home buyers specifications.

Table of Contents
During fiscal year 2009, our average wholesale home price for a HUD code home was
approximately $41,000, excluding delivery. Many of the homes we produce are sold in transactions
covering both the home and the land on which it is placed. Retail sales prices of our homes,
without land, generally range from $22,000 to more than $136,000, depending upon size, floor plan,
features and options.
The homes we manufacture are sold under a variety of registered trademarks, including Cavco,
Cavco Homes, Sunbuilt, Villager, Sun Villa, Cedar Court, Westcourt, Winrock,
Catalina, Cavco Gold Key Guarantee, Saguaro, Elite, Desert Rose, Sunburst, Cavco
Cabins, AAA Homes, Litchfield Limited, Vantage, SmartBuilt and Cavco Home Center.
Our manufactured homes are constructed and equipped at our manufacturing facilities. The
finished home is then transported by independent trucking companies either to a retail sales
center, planned community, housing development or the customers site. Retailers or other
independent installers are responsible for placing the home on site and, in most instances,
arranging for connections to utilities and providing installation and finish-out services.
Although our manufactured homes are designed to be transportable, only a small percentage are ever
moved from their original site after installation.
Manufacturing Operations
Our homes are constructed in plant facilities using an assembly-line process employing from
130 to 170 employees at each facility. Most of our homes are constructed in one or more sections
(also known as floors or modules) on a permanently affixed steel support chassis. Each section or
floor is assembled in stages beginning with the construction of the chassis, followed by the
addition of other constructed and purchased components, and ending with a final quality control
inspection. The efficiency of the assembly-line process and the benefits of constructing homes in
a controlled factory environment enable us to produce quality homes in less time and at a lower
cost per square foot than building homes on individual sites.
During fiscal year 2009, we operated three manufacturing facilities in the Phoenix, Arizona
area and one in Seguin, Texas. These manufacturing facilities range from approximately 79,000 to
250,000 square feet of floor space. The production schedules for our manufacturing facilities are
based on wholesale and retail orders received from buyers, which fluctuate from week to week. In
general, however, our facilities are structured to operate on a one shift per day, five days per
week basis, and we currently manufacture a typical home in approximately seven production days.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009, our rate of production was approximately 14
sections per day.
Manufactured housing is a regional business and the primary geographic market for a typical
manufacturing facility is within a 350-mile radius. Each of our Arizona manufacturing facilities
serves between 65 to 120 retailers along with a large number of one time vacation cabin purchasers.
Because we produce homes to fill existing wholesale and retail orders, our manufacturing plants
generally do not carry finished goods inventories, except for homes awaiting delivery.
The following table sets forth the total number of homes wholesaled from our factories and the
number of manufacturing facilities which produced those homes for the fiscal years indicated:

The principal materials used in the production of our manufactured homes include wood, wood
products, aluminum, steel, gypsum wallboard, tires, fiberglass insulation, carpet, vinyl,
fasteners, appliances, electrical items, windows and doors. We buy the majority of these materials
from third-party manufacturers and distributors located in California, Texas and Arizona. The
inability to obtain any materials used in the production of our homes, whether resulting from
material shortages, destruction of supplier facilities or other events affecting production of
component parts, may affect our ability to meet or maintain production requirements.
During fiscal 2009, the Company experienced generally flat pricing for materials purchased for
the manufacture of homes. Prices of commodities such as aluminum, copper, and steel rose modestly.
In addition materials such as carpets and vinyl products were negatively impacted by fluctuating
petroleum costs, which also adversely affects delivery of all raw materials purchased by the
Company.

Table of Contents
Our backlog of orders as of March 31, 2009 was negligible. Retailers may cancel orders prior
to production without penalty. After production of a particular home has commenced, the order
becomes noncancelable and the retailer is obligated to take delivery of the home. Accordingly,
until production of a particular home has commenced, we do not consider our order backlog to be
firm orders. Because of the seasonality of the housing market, the level of our order backlog
historically declines during the winter months.
Sales and Distribution
The following table sets forth the number of homes sold by us through independent and
Company-owned distribution channels during the last three fiscal years, as well as the number of
independent retail outlets and Company-owned retail centers at the end of the applicable period.

Independent Retailers. As of March 31, 2009, we had a network of 322 independent retail
outlets, of which there were 108 in Arizona, 50 in Texas, 48 in California, 35 in New Mexico, 16 in
Colorado, 14 in Utah, 11 in Washington, 9 in Nevada, 8 in Oklahoma, 4 in Idaho, 2 in Canada,
Alaska, Maryland, Oregon, and Wisconsin and 1 in each of Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Tennessee and Wyoming. As is common in the industry, our independent
retailers typically sell manufactured homes produced by other manufacturers in addition to those we
produce. Some independent retailers operate multiple sales outlets. Factory Direct Housing, Inc.
(FDH) represents a group of independent retailers that affiliate to obtain improved access to
inventory financing. Most FDH retailers existed as entirely independent retailers prior to their
affiliation with FDH. FDH accounted for approximately 4.6%, 6.4% and 11.0% of net sales in fiscal
years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. No other independent retailer accounted for 10% or more
of our manufacturing sales in each of the respective years in the three-year period ended March 31,
2009.
We continually seek to increase our wholesale shipments by growing sales at our existing
independent retailers and by finding new independent retailers to sell our homes. We provide
comprehensive sales training to retail sales associates and bring them to our manufacturing
facilities for product training and to view new product designs as they are developed. These
training seminars facilitate the sale of our homes by increasing the skill and knowledge of the
retail sales consultants. In addition, we display our products in trade shows and support our
retailers through the distribution of floor plan literature, brochures, decor boards and point of
sale promotional material.
Independent retailers frequently finance a portion of their home purchases through wholesale
floor plan financing arrangements. In most cases, we receive a deposit or a commitment from the
retailers lender for each home ordered. We then manufacture the home and ship it at the
retailers expense. Payment is due from the lender upon the acceptance by the retailer of the
product. For a description of wholesale floor plan financing arrangements used by independent
retailers and our obligations in connection with these arrangements, see Financing Wholesale
Financing below.
Company-Owned Retail Sales Centers. As of March 31, 2009, we had a total of 6 Company-owned
retail centers, located in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Over the next 12 months, we plan to close
certain Company-owned retail centers as these retail outlets have underperformed in recent years.
Each of our Company-owned retail sales centers has a sales office, which is generally a
factory-built structure, and a variety of model homes of various sizes, floor plans, features and
prices. Customers may purchase a home from an inventory of homes maintained at the location,
including a model home, or may order a home that will be built at a manufacturing facility. Our
Company-owned sales centers are generally located on a main road or highway for high visibility.
Model homes may be displayed in a residential setting with sidewalks and landscaping. Each sales
center usually employs a manager and three or four salespersons. As of March 31, 2009,
Company-owned sales centers had an average inventory of 8 new homes per location. This number of
homes in inventory includes homes delivered to a consumer home site but not yet recorded as a sale.
We internally finance our inventories and currently have no outstanding debt. Our Company-owned
retail centers employ salespersons who are compensated through a combination of salary and
commission. Retail centers do not have administrative staff, as we perform most administrative
functions at our corporate headquarters.

Table of Contents
Warranties. We provide a limited warranty to original retail purchasers of our homes. We
warrant structural components for 12 months. Nonstructural components of a cosmetic nature are
warranted for 120 days, except in specific cases where state laws require longer warranty terms.
Our warranty does not extend to installation and setup of the home, which is generally arranged by
the retailer. Appliances, carpeting, roofing and certain other components are warranted by their
original manufacturer for various lengths of time. Refer to our discussion of the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act under Government Regulation beginning on page 7.
Financing
Wholesale Financing. During fiscal year 2009, approximately 38% of our wholesale sales to
independent retailers were purchased through wholesale floor plan financing arrangements. Under a
typical floor plan financing arrangement, an independent financial institution specializing in this
line of business 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 customarily requires us,
as the manufacturer of the home, 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 in most cases is 18 to 24 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 maximum amount of our contingent obligations
under such repurchase agreements was approximately $18.7 million as of March 31, 2009, without
reduction for the resale value of the homes.
As a result of the current credit crisis, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, each
of the manufactured home national inventory finance companies (floor plan lenders) substantially
curtailed their lending activities, and one announced its intention to exit the business. Some of
our retailers have arranged or are in process of arranging to replace their floor plan financing
with other sources of capital. To further support floor plan availability for our retailers, Cavco
has begun to provide some of the capital used by inventory lenders to finance wholesale home
purchases by retailers.
Consumer Financing. Conventional lenders provide two basic types of consumer financing in the
manufactured housing industry:
| chattel (or home-only) loans for purchasers of a home with no real estate involved; and |
| real estate loans for purchasers of the home and the land on which the home is placed. |
During recent years, a number of home-only lenders have exited the market. The remaining
lenders have tightened their credit standards and increased their interest rates, which has reduced
the volume of new loans. In January 2002, Texas House Bill 1869 was enacted, amending the Texas
Manufactured Housing Standards Act, to establish financing and acquisition procedures for retailers
and consumers of manufactured homes and to provide for notification to consumers of their
responsibilities before purchasing a manufactured home. The bill required, among other things, that
all manufactured homes that are acquired with third-party financing in Texas, other than those
placed in manufactured home rental communities or on a lot that is not titled in the name of the
consumer under a deed or contract for sale, be financed with conventional financing covering both
the land and home. While this legislation was subsequently repealed in September 2003, chattel
financing in Texas was significantly curtailed and has not recovered.
Beginning in the late 1990s, the number of manufactured housing purchases financed with real
estate loans has increased significantly. There are two types of mortgage loans: (i) conforming;
and (ii) non-conforming. Conforming loans conform to requirements imposed by the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae. Generally, conforming
loans require foundations installed in accordance with specified Federal requirements and the
borrower must meet certain established criteria. Non-conforming loans are financed by a major bank
or lending institution, which may not require a specific foundation type and may have more flexible
criteria for the borrower.
The American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act (the Act) was enacted in 2008 to
provide assistance by way of legislation for the housing industry, including the manufactured
housing industry. Among other things, the Act provides for increased loan limits for chattel
(home-only) loans to $69,678, up 43% from the previous limit of $48,600 set in 1992. Chattel loans
have languished in recent years and the increased loan limit is meant to broaden opportunities for
prospective homeowners.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes an $8,000 tax credit for a limited
period to homebuyers who have not owned a home in the previous 3 years, and is subject to other
conditions. In addition to federal programs, California and certain other states have begun to
adopt incentives to promote the purchase of new homes in their states. These and other regulatory
changes may provide some stimulus going forward; however, given consumer sentiment about the state
of the economy, we are cautious in developing expectations of any positive results from the new
legislation.

Competition
The manufactured 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. We compete with other producers of manufactured homes, as well as companies
offering for sale homes repossessed from wholesalers or consumers. In addition, manufactured homes
compete with new and existing site-built homes, as well as apartments, townhouses and condominiums.
In addition to us, there are a number of other manufacturers competing for a significant share
of the manufactured housing market in the Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas areas,
including Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., Clayton Homes, Inc., Champion
Enterprises, Inc. and Skyline Corporation. Based on retail sales in calendar year 2008, we believe
that our business accounted for an approximate 38% share of the Arizona market area, an approximate
8% share of the California market area, an approximate 8% share of the New Mexico market area, an
approximate 5% share of the Texas market area, and smaller shares of market areas in the other
states in which we do business. We do not view any of our competitors as being dominant in the
industry as a whole or the principal markets in which we compete, although certain of our
competitors possess substantially greater financial, manufacturing, distribution and marketing
resources.
Government Regulation
Our manufactured homes are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws, codes and
regulations. Construction of manufactured housing is governed by the National Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended, or the Home Construction Act. In 1976,
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 periodic
change. Our manufacturing facilities, and the plans and specifications of the HUD code manufactured
homes they produce, 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 are in substantial compliance with all
present HUD requirements. Our park model homes are not subject to HUD regulations, but we believe
that our park model homes meet all present standards of the American National Standards Institute.
Manufactured and site-built homes are all typically built with wood products that contain
formaldehyde resins. HUD regulates 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, or EPA, 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 manufactured 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.
We have leased space for our manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona since 1993. The
leased premises is part of what is referred to as the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (South) Superfund
Site (PGAS), which was designated as a National Priorities List, or NPL, site under the authority
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act in 1983. The reason
for the sites NPL designation was because of extensive soil and groundwater contamination
(trichloroethylene or TCE, chromium and cadmium) that resulted from historic manufacturing at the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and the United States Department of Defense.
Pursuant to a consent decree entered into with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, is responsible for taking certain remedial
actions at the PGAS site. In September 2005, the EPA completed its five-year review of the PGAS
site and reported that the contaminant concentrations in groundwater at the site have been reduced,
and treated groundwater from the treatment systems has met cleanup goals throughout that period of
operation. Nonetheless, the groundwater still contains contaminant levels above specified cleanup
goals as the remediation progresses. The EPAs five-year review identified several issues
regarding the ongoing effectiveness of the remedy and several new issues regarding possible
presence of trace metals, vapor intrusion, institutional controls, ecological risks, and migration,
all of which the EPA is addressing.

Table of Contents
Our lease specifically refers to the consent decree with the EPA and provides that as between
our Landlord (now JRC Goodyear, LLC) and us, the Landlord will be responsible for any liabilities
resulting from the existing contamination at the site and that the Landlord will indemnify, defend,
and hold us, our directors, our officers, our employees, our agents, and our successors, harmless
for such liabilities. During the sixteen years that we have conducted manufacturing operations at
the Goodyear, Arizona facility, we have never received any inquiry or notice from the EPA or the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality suggesting that we may be liable for any costs
associated with the remediation of the PGAS site. We do not have any underground storage tanks at
our Goodyear, Arizona facility.
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 regulations which must be
complied with by the retailer or other person installing the home.
Certain warranties we issue may be subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade
Commission Improvement Act, which regulates the descriptions of warranties on consumer products. In
the case of warranties subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Company is subject to a
number of additional regulatory requirements. For example, warranties that are subject to the Act
must be included in a single easy-to-read document that is generally made available prior to
purchase. The Act also prohibits certain attempts to disclaim or modify implied warranties and the
use of deceptive or misleading terms. A claim for a violation of the Act can be the subject of an
action in federal court in which consumers may be able to recover attorneys fees. The description
and substance of our warranties are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations. A
number of states, including Arizona and New Mexico, require manufactured home producers to post
bonds to ensure the satisfaction of consumer warranty claims.
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. Although we
believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with the requirements of all applicable
laws and regulations, these requirements have generally become more strict in recent years.
Accordingly, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with all applicable laws and
enforcement policies.
Employees
As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately 660 employees. We believe that our relationship
with our employees is good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business involves a number of risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the
following risks, together with the information provided elsewhere in this Annual Report. The risks
described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks that are currently unknown to us
or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also impair our business or adversely affect our
financial condition or results of operations.
We operate in an industry that is currently experiencing a prolonged and significant downturn
Since mid-1999, the manufactured housing industry has experienced a prolonged and significant
downturn. This downturn has resulted in part from the fact that, beginning in 1999, consumer
lenders in the sector began to tighten underwriting standards and curtail credit availability in
response to higher than anticipated rates of loan defaults and significant losses upon the
repossession and resale of manufactured homes securing defaulted loans. In more recent years, the
industrys downturn was exacerbated by the aggressive financing methods utilized by developers and
marketers of standard site-built homes which had the effect of diverting potential manufactured
housing customers to more expensive site-built homes, the global credit crisis, and general
deterioration of economic conditions. These factors have resulted in declining wholesale shipments
and excess manufacturing and retail locations.
As a result of the foregoing factors, based on industry data as of the end of 2008, an
estimated 68% of all industry retail locations have closed since the end of 1999 and the number of
active industry manufacturing facilities has dropped by 153 plants over the same period,
representing a 47% reduction.

Table of Contents
The availability of consumer financing for the purchase of manufactured homes continues to be
constrained, as discussed below. Although it is difficult to predict future industry conditions,
the current market environment tends to indicate that a sustained recovery in the manufactured
housing industry is unlikely to occur in the near term.
If current industry conditions continue or get materially worse, we may be required to take
steps in an attempt to mitigate the effect of unfavorable industry conditions, such as the closure
of facilities or consolidation of existing operations. These steps could impair our ability to
conduct our business in a manner consistent with past practice and could make it more difficult for
us to expand our operations if and when industry conditions improve. Furthermore, some of these
steps could lead to fixed asset impairment charges and goodwill impairment charges.
Tightened credit standards and curtailed lending activity by home-only lenders have contributed to
a constrained consumer financing market
Consumers who buy our manufactured homes have historically secured retail financing from
third-party lenders. The availability, terms and costs of retail financing depend on the lending
practices of financial institutions, governmental policies and economic and other conditions, all
of which are beyond our control. A consumer seeking to finance the purchase of a manufactured home
without land will generally pay a higher interest rate and have a shorter loan maturity than a
consumer seeking to finance the purchase of land and the home. In addition, home-only financing is
at times more difficult to obtain than financing for site-built homes. Since 1999, home-only
lenders have tightened the credit underwriting standards and increased interest rates for loans to
purchase manufactured homes, which has reduced lending volumes which has negatively impacted our
sales. In addition, most of the national lenders who have historically provided home-only loans
have exited this sector of the industry. Conseco Finance was historically one of the largest
originators of home-only loans in the manufactured housing industry. In December 2002, Conseco
Inc., the parent company of Conseco Finance Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection and ceased its
lending activities. In May 2004, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., the lender with the largest loan
origination volume in the home-only financing market at that time, announced it was ceasing its
manufactured housing lending activities. In March 2008, Origen Financial, Inc. (Origen)
announced that it was suspending originations of manufactured home loans as a result of unfavorable
conditions in the secondary market for its loans. Some of our retailers have utilized Origen to
finance consumer loans. Another major lender, 21st Mortgage Corporation, citing
unreliable and inadequate sources of funding, announced in January 2009 that it was significantly
curtailing its retail lending program. Remaining retail lenders such as Triad Financial, US Bank,
and CU Factory Built Lending have tightened their loan underwriting standards. If other lenders do
not absorb the volume of loans previously made by these lenders, we could experience retail and
manufacturing sales declines.
The availability of wholesale financing for industry retailers is limited due to a reduced number
of floor plan lenders and reduced lending limits
Manufactured housing retailers generally finance their inventory purchases with wholesale
floor plan financing provided by lending institutions. The availability of wholesale financing is
significantly affected by the number of floor plan lenders and their lending limits. During the
past seven years, a substantial number of wholesale lenders have exited the industry or curtailed
their floor plan operations. Conseco Finance was historically the largest floor plan lender,
previously providing about 25% of the industrys wholesale financing. Conseco Finance discontinued
approving and funding new floor plan loan requests in April 2002 and filed for bankruptcy
protection in December 2002. With Consecos exit, Deutsche Financial Services was the largest
remaining floor plan lender, providing approximately 20% of the industrys wholesale financing.
Deutsche Financial Services discontinued approving and funding new floor plan loan requests in
November 2002 and proceeded to liquidate its existing floor plan receivables. In recent years, the
Companys independent retailers have relied primarily on GE Commercial Distribution Finance,
Textron Financial Corporation and 21st Mortgage Corporation, national lending
institutions that have specialized in providing wholesale floor plan financing to manufactured
housing retailers. As a result of the current credit crisis, during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2009, each of these remaining national floor plan lenders substantially curtailed their
lending activities, and Textron Financial Corporation announced its intention to exit the business.
We are concerned that floor plan financing providers could further reduce their levels of floor
plan lending. Reduced availability of floor plan lending may affect the inventory levels of our
independent retailers, the number of retail sales center locations and related wholesale demand,
and may also have an adverse effect on the availability of and our access to capital on an ongoing
basis.
Our operating results could be affected by geographic concentration and declining housing demand
As a participant in the homebuilding industry, we are subject to market forces beyond our
control. These market forces include employment and employment growth, interest rates, land
availability and development costs, apartment vacancy levels, and the health of the general
economy. Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors or other issues could have an adverse
effect on our sales and earnings. In addition, our sales are largely concentrated in Arizona and
California, which have experienced significant declines in industry shipments in calendar years
2006, 2007, 2008 and early 2009.

Table of Contents
We have incurred net losses in prior periods and there can be no assurance that we will generate
income in the future
Although we generated income from continuing operations during the past eight fiscal years, we
have incurred net losses in prior years. Net losses in these years were attributable in
substantial part to the downturn affecting the manufactured housing industry, which is discussed in
detail below. The likelihood that we will generate net income in the future must be considered in
light of the difficulties facing the manufactured housing industry as a whole, economic conditions,
the competitive environment in which we operate and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in
this Annual Report. There can be no assurance that we will generate net income in the future.
A write-off of all or part of our goodwill could adversely affect our operating results and net
worth
A substantial portion of our total assets at March 31, 2009 consisted of goodwill, all of
which is attributable to our manufacturing operations. In particular, goodwill accounted for
approximately 38% of our total assets at March 31, 2009. Effective in fiscal year 2002, we adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
As a result, we no longer amortize goodwill. Instead, we review goodwill at least annually to
determine whether it has become impaired. If goodwill has become impaired, we charge the
impairment as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurred. See Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting
Policies and Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our goodwill could be impaired if
developments affecting our manufacturing operations or the markets in which we produce manufactured
homes lead us to conclude that the cash flows we expect to derive from our manufacturing operations
will be substantially reduced. A write off of all or part of our goodwill could adversely affect
our results of operations and financial condition.
The cyclical and seasonal nature of the manufactured housing industry causes our revenues and
operating results to fluctuate, and we expect this cyclicality and seasonality to continue in the
future
The manufactured housing industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many
national and regional economic and demographic factors including the availability of consumer
financing for homebuyers, the availability of wholesale financing for retailers, seasonality of
demand, consumer confidence, interest rates, demographic and employment trends, income levels,
housing demand, general economic conditions, including inflation and recessions, and the
availability of suitable home sites.
As a result of the foregoing economic, demographic and other factors, our revenues and
operating results fluctuate, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover,
we may experience operating losses during cyclical downturns in the manufactured housing market.
Our liquidity and ability to raise capital may be limited
We may need to obtain debt or additional equity financing in the future. The type, timing and
terms of the financing selected by us will depend on, among other things, our cash needs, the
availability of other financing sources and prevailing conditions in the financial markets. There
can be no assurance that any of these sources will be available to us at any time or that they will
be available on satisfactory terms.
We have contingent repurchase obligations related to wholesale financing provided to industry
retailers
In accordance with customary business practice in the manufactured housing industry, we have
entered into repurchase agreements with various financial institutions and other credit sources who
provide floor plan financing to industry retailers, which provide that we will be obligated, under
certain circumstances, to repurchase homes sold to retailers in the event of a default by a
retailer in its obligation to such credit sources. Under these agreements, we have agreed to
repurchase homes at declining prices over the term of the agreement (which in most cases is 18 to
24 months). The maximum amount of our contingent obligations under such repurchase agreements was
approximately $18.7 million as of March 31, 2009, without reduction for the resale value of the
homes. We may be required to honor contingent repurchase obligations in the future and may incur
additional expense as a consequence of these repurchase agreements.
The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive, and competition may increase the adverse
effects of industry conditions
The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive. Competition at both the
manufacturing and retail levels is based upon several factors, including price, product features,
reputation for service and quality, merchandising, terms of retailer promotional programs and the
terms of retail customer financing. Numerous companies produce manufactured homes in our markets.
In addition, our homes compete with repossessed homes that are offered for sale in our markets. A
number of our manufacturing competitors also have their own retail distribution systems and
consumer finance and insurance operations. The ability to offer consumer finance and insurance
products may provide some competitors with an advantage. In addition, there are many independent
manufactured housing retail locations in most areas where we have retail operations. We believe
that where wholesale floor plan financing is available, it is relatively easy for new retailers to
enter into our markets as competitors. In addition, our products compete with other forms of low
to moderate-cost housing, including new and existing site-built homes, apartments, townhouses and
condominiums. If we are unable to compete effectively in this environment, our retail sales and
wholesale shipments could be reduced.
10
Table of Contents
If we are unable to establish or maintain relationships with independent retailers who sell our
homes, our sales could decline
During fiscal year 2009, approximately 96% of our wholesale shipments of manufactured homes
were made to independent retail locations. As is common in the industry, independent retailers may
sell homes produced by competing manufacturers. We may not be able to establish relationships with
new independent retailers or maintain good relationships with independent retailers that sell our
homes. Even if we do establish and maintain relationships with independent retailers, these
retailers are not obligated to sell our homes exclusively, and may choose to sell our competitors
homes instead. The independent retailers with whom we have relationships can cancel these
relationships on short notice. In addition, these retailers may not remain financially solvent, as
they are subject to industry, economic, demographic and seasonal trends similar to those faced by
us. If we do not establish and maintain relationships with solvent independent retailers in one or
more of our markets, sales in those markets could decline.
Our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages and the pricing and
availability of raw materials
The homebuilding industry has from time to time experienced labor shortages and other labor
related issues. A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us and our
subcontractors in one or more of our markets including high employment levels, construction market
conditions and government regulation which include laws and regulations related to workers health
and safety, wage and hour practices and immigration. An overall labor shortage or a lack of
skilled labor could cause significant increases in costs or delays in construction of homes which
could have a material adverse effect upon our sales and results of operations.
Our results of operations can be affected by the pricing and availability of raw materials.
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. Sudden increases in
price and lack of availability of raw materials can be caused by natural disaster or other market
forces, as has occurred in recent years. Although we have not experienced any production halts,
severe or prolonged shortages of some of our most important building materials, which include wood
and wood products, gypsum wallboard, steel, insulation, and other petroleum-based products, have
occurred. There can be no assurance that sufficient supplies of these and other raw materials will
continue to be available to us.
If the manufactured housing industry is not able to secure favorable local zoning ordinances, our
sales could decline and our business could be adversely affected
Manufactured housing communities and individual home placements are subject to local zoning
ordinances and other local regulations relating to utility service and construction of roadways.
In the past, property owners often have resisted the adoption of zoning ordinances permitting the
location of manufactured homes in residential areas, which we believe has restricted the growth of
the industry. Manufactured homes may not achieve widespread acceptance and localities may not
adopt zoning ordinances permitting the development of manufactured home communities. If the
manufactured housing industry is unable to secure favorable local zoning ordinances, our sales
could decline and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
The loss of any of our executive officers could reduce our ability to execute our business strategy
and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations
We are dependent to a significant extent upon the efforts of our executive officers,
particularly Joseph H. Stegmayer, our Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel L. Urness, our Chief
Financial Officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could impair
our ability to execute our business strategy and have a material adverse effect upon our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We currently have no key man life insurance for our
executive officers.
Certain provisions of our organizational documents could delay or make more difficult a change in
control of our Company
Certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws could
delay or make more difficult transactions involving a change of control of our Company, and may
have the effect of entrenching our current management or possibly depressing the market price of
our common stock. For example, our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws
authorize blank series preferred stock, establish a staggered board of directors and impose certain
procedural and other requirements for stockholder proposals. Furthermore, the fact that income
taxes could be imposed as a result of ownership changes occurring in conjunction with the
distribution may have the effect of delaying or making more difficult certain transactions
involving a change of control of our Company.

Volatility of Stock Price
The price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon a number of factors, many
of which are beyond our control. These factors include the perceived prospects of our business and
the manufactured housing industry as a whole; differences between our actual financial and
operating results and those expected by investors and analysts; changes in analysts
recommendations or projections; changes affecting the availability of financing in the wholesale
and consumer lending markets; actions or announcements by competitors; changes in the regulatory
environment in which we operate; and changes in general economic or market conditions. In
addition, stock markets generally experience significant price and volume volatility from time to
time which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our
performance.
Deterioration in economic conditions in general and continued turmoil in the credit markets could
reduce our earnings and financial condition.
Deterioration in global economic conditions and continued turmoil in the credit markets could
have a negative impact on our business. Among other things, unfavorable changes in employment
levels, job growth, consumer confidence and income, and interest rates may further reduce demand
for our products, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial
condition. Unprecedented contraction in the credit markets and the financial services industry have
occurred recently, characterized by the bankruptcy, failure or consolidation of various financial
institutions and extraordinary intervention from the Federal government. These factors could have
an adverse affect on the availability of financing to our customers, causing our revenues to
decline.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We own or lease and operate three manufacturing facilities in the Phoenix, Arizona area and
one manufacturing plant in Seguin, Texas. During May 2009, the Company initiated a plan to move
its park model and vacation cabin manufacturing operations from its Specialty plant to a second
production line at its Litchfield facility. This move will provide greater capabilities for the
production of park models, cabins, and other specialty buildings, create improved overall
operational efficiencies at the Litchfield factory, as well as reduce overhead expenses. Except in
the case of the Litchfield plant, we own the land on which these facilities are located. We also
own substantially all of the machinery and equipment used at these facilities. We believe that
these facilities are adequately maintained and suitable for the purposes for which they are used.
We also own approximately 30 acres of land in Phoenix, Arizona, which is the intended site of a
future manufacturing facility. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related Notes that appear in Part IV of this Report. References to Note or
Notes refer to the Notes to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview
Cavco is the largest producer of manufactured homes in Arizona and the 9th largest
producer of HUD code manufactured homes in the United States, based on 2007 total home production
data published by Manufactured Home Merchandiser magazine. The Company is also a leading producer
of park model homes and vacation cabins in the United States.
Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the Company designs and produces manufactured homes which
are sold to a network of retailers located primarily in the Southwestern and South Central United
States. As of March 31, 2009, the Company operated three homebuilding facilities located in
Arizona and one in Texas. During May 2009, the Company initiated a plan to move its park model and
vacation cabin manufacturing operations from its Specialty plant to a second production line at its
Litchfield facility. This move will provide greater capabilities for the production of park
models, cabins, and other specialty buildings, create improved overall operational efficiencies at
the Litchfield factory, as well as reduce overhead expenses. The retail segment of the Company
operated six retail sales locations in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas which offer homes produced by
the Company to retail customers. Management has plans to close certain of these retail locations
and does not anticipate that the closure of any of our retail outlets will materially affect the
operations of our manufacturing segment. Homes produced by the Company are also sold through a
network of 322 independent retail outlets in 23 states and Canada.
Industry and Company Outlook
The manufactured housing industry is currently operating at levels well below the historic
highs reached in the late 1990s. According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, the industry
had 82,000 wholesale home shipments in 2008 compared to a peak of 373,000 homes ten years earlier
in 1998. Based on industry data as of the end of 2008, an estimated 68% of all industry retail
locations have closed since the end of 1999 and the number of active industry manufacturing
facilities has dropped by 153 plants over the same period, representing a 47% reduction.
Our principal regional markets have also experienced a pronounced downturn. By the end of
2008, the number of manufactured housing units shipped in Arizona had declined approximately 76%
from the peak in 1999. Likewise, severe declines were experienced in New Mexico and Texas, where
the number of manufactured housing units shipped declined
approximately 83% and 76%, respectively,
by the end of 2008 from their respective peak levels in 1996 and 1998. More recently, the California manufactured housing
market has suffered a significant downturn, as the number of manufactured housing units shipped had
decreased by 74% at the end of 2008 compared to 2005.
One of the major contributing factors to the contraction of the industry has been the lack of
availability of retail financing. Until 1999, consumer loans for manufactured homes were readily
obtainable from a variety of lenders. At that time, consumer lenders began to tighten underwriting
standards and curtail credit availability in response to higher than anticipated rates of loan
defaults and significant losses upon the repossession and resale of manufactured homes securing
defaulted loans. Certain consumer lenders in the traditional chattel (home-only) lending sector
exited the market and interest rates for these home-only loans increased. Although a portion of
the home-only loans have been replaced by land/home financing that generally provides more
competitive credit terms to the retail buyer of manufactured housing, the effort, time and expense
associated with closing land/home transactions is greater.
In addition to the changing environment in retail lending, many of the wholesale lenders
providing inventory or floor plan financing to retailers have since exited the industry. During
2002, Conseco Finance Corp., formerly the industrys largest inventory and consumer lender, exited
the market. Also in 2002, Deutsche Financial Services exited the manufactured housing floor plan
lending business. In May 2004, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., one of the largest lenders in the
home-only financing market at that time, announced it was ceasing its manufactured housing lending
activities.
Since 2006, the site-built housing industry has experienced similar events, but to a much
greater extent than has previously occurred in the manufactured home industry. The resulting
credit restrictions for homebuilders and homebuyers are well documented and have had widespread
effects, including further negative influences on the already restrictive manufactured housing
lending environment. One of the few remaining national retail lenders specializing in our
industry, Origen Financial, Inc., announced in March 2008 that it was suspending originations of
manufactured home loans as a result of unfavorable conditions in the secondary market for its
loans. Another major lender, 21st Mortgage Corporation, citing unreliable and
inadequate sources of funding, announced in January 2009 that it was significantly curtailing its
retail lending program. Remaining retail lenders such as Triad Financial, US Bank, and CU Factory
Built Lending have tightened their loan underwriting standards.

Faced with illiquid capital markets in late 2008, each of the manufactured housing sectors
remaining inventory finance lenders initiated radical changes, including one companys announcement
to cease their lending activities entirely. The continued participation of the others is
undergoing modification; with one financier requiring that home manufacturers provide a significant
portion of the funds it lends to finance retail inventories of that manufacturers products. While
some manufacturers are unable or have elected not to participate in this lenders program, Cavcos
financial capabilities have enabled us to engage in this and other special inventory financing
programs for retailers. We anticipate that our involvement in financing inventory purchases of
Cavco product will be quite helpful to retailers and will allow our products to have continued
exposure to potential purchasers. This initiative will coincide with our efforts to expand our
distribution base in all of our markets with existing and new retailers.
While we have been successful in improving market share in our core region in the current
year, the market itself is depressed. The Manufactured Housing Institute recently reported that
national home shipments for calendar year 2008 were down 15% for the industry as a whole. However,
aided by the increased production of our Texas factory, Cavcos comparative change was a decrease
of 5%. Isolating these same statistics to both Arizona and California, the Companys key markets,
industry-wide home shipments were down 38% in 2008, while Cavcos shipments were down 33%. The
Company operated with a minimal backlog throughout fiscal year 2009 and the backlog of orders was
negligible as of March 31, 2009.
Excess site-built home inventory has had an adverse impact on the contingency contract
process, wherein potential homebuyers must sell their existing site-built home in order to
facilitate the purchase of a new manufactured home. In addition, many on-site home builders with
high inventory levels are offering sizable incentives to homebuyers, creating added competition for
the factory-built housing industry. Also, competition from sales of repossessed site-built homes
has negatively impacted retail sales of new manufactured homes.
Continuing reduced order rates have resulted in lower gross margins. Cavco has acted promptly
to align its production levels as incoming orders have slowed, but has had limited ability to
manage product pricing to maintain historical gross margins. After increasing rapidly since 2005,
raw material prices flattened during fiscal 2009, but have not decreased generally.
The availability of consumer financing for the retail purchase of manufactured homes and
inventory financing for the wholesale distribution chain need to be increased before marked
emergence from the current lows can occur.
Meanwhile, we have intensified our efforts to identify niche market opportunities.
Company-wide, our products are diverse and tailored to the needs and desires of our customers.
Innovation in housing design is a forte of the Company and we continue to introduce new models at
competitive price points with expressive interiors and exteriors that complement home styles in the
areas in which they are to be located. Although times are difficult, we remain optimistic about
our long-term prospects because we believe that we are located in attractive geographic markets.
We have an excellent and broad line of products and we maintain a conservative cost structure which
enables us to build great value into our homes. The Company has worked diligently throughout this
period to maintain a strong financial position. Our debt-free balance sheet and solid position in
cash and cash equivalents should help us to avoid the liquidity problems faced by many other
companies and enable us to act effectively as market opportunities present themselves.
Regulatory Developments
The American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act was enacted in 2008 to provide
assistance by way of legislation for the housing industry, including the manufactured housing
industry. Among other things, the Act provides for increased loan limits for chattel (home-only)
loans to $69,678, up 43% from the previous limit of $48,600 set in 1992. Chattel loans have
languished in recent years and the increased loan limit is meant to broaden opportunities for
prospective homeowners.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes an $8,000 tax credit for a limited
period to homebuyers who have not owned a home in the previous 3 years, and is subject to other
conditions. In addition to federal programs, California and certain other states have begun to
adopt incentives to promote the purchase of new homes in their states. These and other regulatory
changes may provide some stimulus going forward; however, given consumer concern about the state of
the economy, we are cautious in developing expectations of any positive results from the new
legislation.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008
Net Sales. Total net sales decreased 25.8% to $105,362 in fiscal year 2009 from $141,914 in
fiscal year 2008.
Manufacturing net sales were lower by 24.5% to $101,373 in fiscal year 2009 from $134,301 in
fiscal year 2008. The reduction in sales was primarily attributable to a reduced number of homes
sold, the result of lower incoming order rates for homes. Total homes sold during fiscal year 2009
dropped 21.1% to 2,603 versus 3,301 last year. The decrease in net sales was also due to a 4.3%
decrease in the average sales price per home, down $1,740 to $38,945 in fiscal year 2009 from
$40,685 last year.
Retail net sales decreased by $3,622 to $8,807 for fiscal year 2009 from $12,429 last year.
This decrease in retail sales was the result of lower average selling prices and a 25.9% decrease
in the overall number of homes sold through Company-owned retail locations.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $10,771, which was 10.2% of net sales for fiscal year
2009 compared to $20,376 or 14.4% of net sales last year. The gross profit percentage has been
challenged by lower production volume resulting in lower production efficiency and a less favorable
product mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
were lower by 18.9% or $2,612 to $11,213 or 10.6% of net sales for fiscal year 2009 versus $13,825
or 9.7% of net sales last year. The decrease was primarily the result of reduced costs associated
with compensation programs tied to profitability and a decrease in costs influenced by lower sales
volume.
Interest Income. Interest income represents income earned on unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments held at various times throughout the period. For a portion
of the Companys short-term investments in the prior year, interest income was earned on a tax-free
basis. Our interest income decreased 69.9% to $764 for fiscal year 2009 as compared to $2,539 last
year. The decrease resulted mainly from the Companys repositioning of investible funds into U.S.
Treasury money market funds and short-term bank certificates of deposit away from auction rate
certificates on municipal bonds during the prior fiscal year.
20
Table of Contents
Income Taxes. The income tax benefit recognized during fiscal year 2009 is the result of two
discrete items during the year; a change in the estimated blended rate to be applied to our
deferred tax assets and liabilities, and a calculated true-up to our fiscal year 2008 tax return
filed on December 12, 2008. The effective income tax rate was approximately 31% for fiscal year
2008, which reflects the larger proportion of tax-free interest income noted above, certain state
income tax credits, and deductions provided in the American Jobs Creation Act in the prior year.
Discontinued Retail Operations. The Company has plans to dispose of certain of its retail
sales centers and these operations are classified as discontinued retail operations (see Note
9).
Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007
Net Sales. Total net sales decreased 16.1% to $141,914 in fiscal year 2008 from $169,114 in
fiscal year 2007.
Manufacturing net sales were lower by 16.7% to $134,301 in fiscal year 2008 from $161,242 in
fiscal year 2007. The reduction in sales was primarily attributable to a reduced number of homes
sold, the result of lower incoming order rates for homes. Total homes sold during fiscal year 2008
dropped 8.6% to 3,301 versus 3,612 during fiscal year 2007. The decrease in net sales was also due
to an 8.9% decrease in the average sales price per home, down $3,956 to $40,685 in fiscal year 2008
from $44,641 in fiscal year 2007.
Retail net sales decreased by $2,378 to $12,429 for fiscal year 2008 from $14,807 for the
prior year. This decrease in retail sales was the result of lower average selling prices, offset
by a 9.0% increase in the overall number of homes sold.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $20,376, which was 14.4% of net sales for fiscal year
2008 compared to $30,301 or 17.9% of net sales for the prior year. The gross profit percentage in
fiscal 2008 was pressured by lower production volume, a less favorable product mix, low margin
results from the new Texas plant, and higher raw material costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
were lower by 9.7% or $1,486 to $13,825 or 9.7% of net sales for fiscal year 2008 versus $15,311 or
9.1% of net sales for fiscal year 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of reduced costs
associated with compensation programs tied to profitability and a decrease in costs influenced by
lower sales volume.
Interest Income. Interest income represents income earned on unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments. For a portion of the Companys short-term investments,
interest income was earned on a tax-free basis. Our interest income increased 6.4% to $2,539 for
fiscal year 2008 as compared to $2,387 for fiscal year 2007. The increase in interest income in
fiscal year 2008 compared to the previous fiscal year resulted from the Companys larger balance of
investible funds.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate was approximately 31% for fiscal year 2008 and 34%
for fiscal year 2007. The lower income tax rate reflects the effects of a larger proportion of
tax-free interest income noted above, certain state income tax credits, and deductions provided in
the American Jobs Creation Act.
Discontinued Retail Operations. The Company has plans to dispose of certain of its retail
sales centers and these operations are classified as discontinued retail operations (see Note 9).
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
(Dollars in thousands)
(Dollars in thousands)
We believe that cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand at March 31,
2009, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the
next twelve months and into the foreseeable future. However, depending on our operating results
and strategic opportunities, we may need to seek additional or alternative sources of financing.
There can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory terms, if at all.
If this financing were not available, it could be necessary for us to reevaluate our long-term
operating plans to make more efficient use of our existing capital resources. The exact nature of
any changes to our plans that would be considered depends on various factors, such as conditions in
the factory-built housing industry and general economic conditions outside of our control.
Projected cash to be provided by manufacturing operations in the coming year is largely
dependent on sales volume. Our manufactured homes are sold mainly through independent retailers
who have historically relied on third-party lenders to provide floor plan financing for homes
purchased. In addition, third-party lenders generally provide consumer financing for manufactured
home purchases. Our sales depend in large part on the availability and cost of financing for
manufactured home purchasers and retailers as well as our own retail locations. The availability
and cost of such financing is further dependent on the number of financial institutions
participating in the industry, the departure of financial institutions from the industry, the
financial institutions lending practices, the strength of the credit markets generally,
governmental policies and other conditions, all of which are beyond our control.

During 2002, Conseco Finance Corp., formerly the industrys largest floor plan lender, exited the market. Also
in 2002, Deutsche Financial Services exited the manufactured housing floor plan lending business.
In May 2004, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., the lender with the largest loan origination volume in the
home-only financing market at that time, announced it was ceasing its manufactured housing lending
activities. In March 2008, Origen Financial, Inc. announced that it was suspending originations of
manufactured home loans as a result of unfavorable conditions in the secondary market for its
loans. As a result of the current credit crisis, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009,
each of the remaining national floor plan lenders substantially curtailed their lending activities,
and Textron Financial Corporation announced its intention to exit the business. Another floor plan
lender, 21st Mortgage Corporation, citing unreliable and inadequate sources of funding,
announced in January 2009 that it was significantly curtailing its retail lending program.
Remaining retail lenders such as Triad Financial, US Bank, and CU Factory Built Lending have
tightened their loan underwriting standards. The reduction in available financing has had an
adverse effect on the manufactured housing industry and may impact the ability of our retailers to
obtain financing for home purchases. To further support floor plan availability for our retailers,
Cavco has begun to provide some of the capital used by inventory lenders to finance wholesale home
purchases by retailers. States may classify manufactured homes for both legal and tax purposes as
personal property rather than real estate. As a result, financing for the purchase of manufactured
homes is thereby characterized by shorter loan maturities and higher interest rates. Unfavorable
changes in these factors and the current adverse trend in the availability and terms of financing
in the industry may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
Operating activities provided $1,326 of cash during fiscal year 2009 compared to providing
$8,996 of cash during fiscal year 2008. Cash generated by operating activities in fiscal year 2009
was primarily derived from operating income before non-cash charges, increased deferred taxes, a
decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in inventory from lower sales levels, partially
offset by increased other current assets and decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Lower sales activity also resulted in reduced vendor payment volume, warranty obligations, volume
rebate accruals, customer deposits, payroll and other accruals. Cash generated by operating
activities in the prior year was primarily derived from operating income before non-cash charges
and a decrease in inventory from lower sales levels, partially offset by increased accounts
receivable and decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Investing activities required the use of $5,422 of cash during fiscal year 2009 compared to
$50,211 of cash provided during fiscal year 2008. In fiscal year 2009, cash was primarily used to
make purchases of $4,464 of short-term investments as well as normal recurring capital
expenditures. For fiscal year 2008, cash was provided by net sales of $50,900 of short-term
investments as we repositioned our liquid assets primarily into low risk US Treasury money market
funds, partially offset by cash used for modest Texas plant expansion costs and normal recurring
capital expenditures in all of our factories.
Financing activities provided $1,043 and $1,427 in cash in fiscal years 2009 and 2008,
respectively, resulting from proceeds of issuances of common stock and related incremental tax
benefits upon exercise of stock options under our stock incentive plans.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Warranties. We provide the retail home buyer 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 and industry trends. Factors we use in the estimation of the warranty liability
include the estimated amount of homes still under warranty including homes in retailer inventories,
homes purchased by consumers still within the twelve-month warranty period, the timing in which
work orders are completed, and the historical average costs incurred to service a home. We have a
reserve for estimated warranties of $5.9 million and $6.6 million at March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. 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 adverse
effect on our results of operations.
Reserve for Repurchase Commitments. Manufactured housing companies customarily enter into
repurchase and other recourse agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale
floor plan financing to retailers. A significant portion of our sales are made to retailers
pursuant to repurchase agreements with lending institutions. These agreements generally provide
that we will repurchase our new products from the lending institutions in the event such product is
repossessed upon a retailers default. The risk of loss under repurchase agreements is lessened by
certain factors, including the following:
| sales of our manufactured homes are spread over a relatively large number of independent retailers; |
| the price that we are obligated to pay under such repurchase agreements declines based on predetermined amounts over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 24 months); and |
| we have historically been able to resell homes repurchased from lenders. |
The Company applies FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an
interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34
(FIN 45) and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (FAS 5), to account for its liability for
repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of FIN 45, issuance of a guarantee results in two
different types of obligations: (1) a non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the
repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to FIN 45) and (2) a contingent obligation to make
future payments under the conditions of the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to SFAS
No. 5). Management reviews retailers inventories to estimate the amount of inventory subject to
repurchase obligation which is used to calculate (1) the fair value of the non-contingent
obligation for repurchase commitments and (2) the contingent liability based on historical
information available at the time. During the period in which a home is sold (inception of a
repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of these two calculations as a liability
for repurchase commitments and as a reduction to sales.
(1) The Company estimates the fair value of the non-contingent portion of its manufacturers
inventory repurchase commitment under the provisions of FIN 45 when a home is shipped to retailers
whose floor plan financing includes a repurchase commitment. The fair value of the inventory
repurchase agreement is determined by calculating the net present value of the difference in (a)
the interest cost to carry the inventory over the maximum repurchase liability period at the
prevailing floor plan note interest rate and (b) the interest cost to carry the inventory over the
maximum repurchase liability period at the interest rate of a similar type loan without a
manufacturers repurchase agreement in force.

Table of Contents
(2) The Company estimates the contingent obligation to make future payments under its
manufacturers inventory repurchase commitment for the same pool of commitments as used in the fair
value calculation above and records the greater of the two calculations. This SFAS No. 5 contingent
obligation is estimated using historical loss factors, including the frequency of repurchases and
the losses experienced by the Company for repurchased inventory.
Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates
the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If
it becomes probable that a retailer will default and a SFAS No. 5 loss reserve should be recorded,
then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Based on
identified changes in retailers financial conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of
default for retailers who are identified at an elevated risk of default and applies a probability
of default, based on historical default rates. Commensurate with this default probability
evaluation, the Company reviews repurchase notifications received from floor plan sources and
reviews retailer inventory for expected repurchase notifications based on various communications
from the lenders and the retailers as well as for retailers who, the Company believes, are
experiencing financial difficulty. The Companys repurchase commitments for the retailers in the
category of elevated risk of default are excluded from the pool of commitments used in both of the
calculations at (1) and (2) above. Changes in the reserve are recorded as an adjustment to sales.
The maximum amount for which the Company was contingently liable under such agreements
approximated $18.7 million at March 31, 2009, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. The
Company had a reserve for repurchase commitments of $741,000 and
$950,000 at March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company incurred a repurchase reserve reduction of
$179,000 during fiscal year 2009
and no repurchase reserve reductions during fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Retailer Volume Rebates. The Companys manufacturing operations sponsor volume rebate
programs under which certain sales to retailers and builder/developers can qualify for cash rebates
generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are
accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of
long-lived assets to be held and used, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The
carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash
flow from such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based
on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets.
Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate
commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined
in a similar manner, except that the fair market values are based primarily on independent
appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose.
Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities. 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. The Company periodically evaluates the deferred tax assets based on the
requirements established in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recording
of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for or amount of any valuation
allowance involves significant management judgment and is based upon the evaluation of both
positive and negative evidence, including estimates of anticipated taxable profits in various
jurisdictions with which the deferred tax assets are associated. Changes in events or expectations
could result in significant adjustments, which could include the recording of a valuation allowance
and material changes to the provision for income taxes.
Goodwill. We test goodwill annually for impairment by reporting unit and record an impairment
charge if the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying
value. We generally utilize either quoted market values or a discounted cash flow methodology to
test for impairment of goodwill. The results of discounted cash flow methodology depend upon a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to cash flows, discount rates and other matters.
Accordingly, such testing is subject to certain uncertainties, which could cause the fair value of
goodwill to fluctuate from period to period.
As of March 31, 2009, all of our goodwill is attributable to our manufacturing reporting unit.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2009. The first step under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, (SFAS 142) is
to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If
the fair value is less than the carrying value, the second step must be completed, comparing the
fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. In assessing the fair value of the
manufacturing reporting unit, the Company considered both the market and income approaches. Each
approach was given equal weight in arriving at the fair value of the reporting unit. Based on this
analysis, the fair value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, was deemed to be greater than
its carrying value. As such, there was no need to continue to the second step under SFAS 142 and
test the goodwill individually.
In the event that we are not able to achieve expected cash flow levels, or other factors
indicate that goodwill is impaired, we may need to write off all or part of our goodwill, which
would adversely affect our operating results and net worth. See Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Other Matters
Related Party Transactions. During fiscal year 2008, the Company invested $7 million in the
Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. GAMCO Investors, Inc. beneficially owned approximately
10% of our outstanding common shares and thus meets the definition of a principal owner under SFAS
No. 57, Related Party Disclosures. The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and GAMCO
Investors, Inc. are either directly or indirectly under common control. Interest earned on our
investment and reinvested during the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $97,000 and $37,000,
respectively.
Impact of Inflation. We believe that the general inflation rate over the past several years
has not had a significant impact on our sales or profitability, but can give no assurance that this
trend will continue in the future. However, sudden increases in specific costs, such as the
increases in material costs we have experienced since early 2004, as well as price competition, can
affect our ability to increase our selling prices and adversely impact our results of operations.
Therefore, we can give no assurance that inflation or the impact of rising material costs will not
have a significant impact on our sales or results of operations in the future.
Impact of Accounting Statements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which clarifies that the term fair value
is intended to mean a market-based measure, not an entity-specific measure and gives the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets in determining fair value. SFAS 157 requires
disclosures about (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value,
(2) the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect of fair value
measures on earnings. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FSP
FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 that delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 to
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for the majority of non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities. Therefore, effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for
financial assets and liabilities only, which had no effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS
157 will have upon adoption for non-financial assets and liabilities on our results of operations
and consolidated financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), which permits
an entity to choose to irrevocably elect fair value on a contract-by-contract basis as the initial
and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities and certain other
items including insurance contracts. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to
recognize changes in fair value in earnings and to expense upfront cost and fees associated with
the item for which the fair value option is elected. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on April 1, 2008 but
did not elect the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R), and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), which significantly change the
financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling
interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited.
Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will have on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and other regulatory
bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise
discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements upon
adoption.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined
in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this
Form 10-K could be deemed forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans,
strategies and prospects under the headings Business, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-looking statements are often characterized
by the use of words such as believes, estimates, expects, projects, may, will,
intends, plans, or anticipates, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in discussions regarding the manufactured
housing industry and market, economic conditions and consumer confidence, our financial performance
and operating results, our operational and legal risks, how we may be affected by governmental
regulations and legal proceedings, the expected effect of certain risks and uncertainties on our
business, financial condition and results of operations, the availability of favorable consumer and
wholesale manufactured home financing, market interest rates and our investments, and the ultimate
outcome of our commitments and contingencies.
25
Table of Contents
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond our control. As a result, our actual results or performance may differ materially from
anticipated results or performance. Also, forward-looking statements are based upon managements
estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently available information. Therefore,
actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in those statements. Factors
that could cause such differences to occur include, but are not limited to, those discussed under
Item 1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We expressly disclaim any obligation
to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. For all of these reasons, you are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and interest
rates. We may from time to time be exposed to interest rate risk inherent in our financial
instruments, but are not currently subject to foreign currency or commodity price risk. We manage
our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. We are
not currently a party to any market risk sensitive instruments that could be reasonably expected to
have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall manufactured housing demand can be
adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage interest
rates may negatively affect the ability of buyers to secure financing. Higher interest rates could
unfavorably impact our revenues, gross margins and net earnings. Our business is also sensitive to
the effects of inflation, particularly with respect to raw material and transportation costs. We
may not be able to offset inflation through increased selling prices.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Managements Assessment on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation under
the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework, the Companys management concluded that
the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2009. For
Managements Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting refer to page F-2 of this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified
in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls
over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Shareholders of Cavco Industries, Inc.,
The management of Cavco Industries, Inc. (the Company), is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Companys
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, the Companys controls and procedures may not prevent or
detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met.
Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on managements evaluation under the
criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Companys
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2009.
The effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009,
has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated
in their report which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cavco Industries, Inc.
Cavco Industries, Inc.
We have audited Cavco Industries, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Cavco
Industries, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Cavco Industries, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the March 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements of Cavco Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries, and our report dated May 18, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Cavco Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cavco Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Cavco Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at
March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the effectiveness of Cavco Industries, Inc.s internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

CAVCO INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of
Cavco Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or Cavco).
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. See
Note 8 for information related to the Companys business segments.
Nature of Operations. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the Companys manufacturing segment
designs and produces manufactured homes which are sold to a network of retailers located primarily
in the Southwestern and South Central United States. The Companys retail segment operates retail
sales locations which offer the Companys homes and homes of other manufacturers to retail
customers.
Accounting Estimates. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial
statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and
cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued
liabilities. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair value due to their nature
and relative shorter maturity periods.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue from homes sold to independent retailers is generally
recognized when the home is shipped, at which time title passes to the independent retailer, and
collectability is reasonably assured. Homes sold to independent retailers are generally paid for
prior to shipment or financed by the independent retailer through standard industry arrangements
which include repurchase agreements (see Note 4). Manufacturing sales are reduced by a provision
for estimated repurchase obligations based upon past experience and market conditions. Retail
sales for Company locations are recognized when funding is reasonably assured, the customer has
entered into a legally binding sales contract, title has transferred and the home is accepted by
the customer, delivered and permanently located at the customers site.
Some of the Companys independent retailers operate multiple sales outlets. Factory Direct
Housing, Inc. (FDH) represents a group of independent retailers that affiliate to obtain improved
access to inventory financing. Most FDH retailers existed as entirely independent retailers prior
to their affiliation with FDH. FDH accounted for approximately 4.6%, 6.4% and 11.0% of net sales
in fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. No other independent retailer accounted for 10% or
more of our manufacturing sales during any fiscal year within the three-year period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk
and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash
equivalents. The Companys cash equivalents are comprised of U.S. Treasury money market funds,
bank certificates of deposit, and money market funds with carrying amounts that approximate fair
value due to their short-term nature.
Short-Term Investments. The Companys short-term investments as of March 31, 2009 were
comprised of certificates of deposit at multiple banking institutions. Each certificate of deposit
has a principal balance less than $250 and thus the investments are within the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation insurable limits. The carrying amounts of short-term investments approximate
fair value and the Company intends to hold these investments until maturity.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents deposits received from retail customers required
to be held in trust accounts which the Company cannot access for general operating purposes until
the sale of the home to the retail customer is completed.
Accounts Receivable. The Company extends competitive credit terms on a retailer-by-retailer
basis in the normal course of business and our accounts receivable are subject to normal industry
risk. The Company provides for reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may
result from customers inability to pay. Uncollectible accounts receivable have historically been
insignificant and therefore the Company has no reserve for credit losses at March 31, 2009 and
2008.
Inventories. Raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are valued at the lower of cost
or market, using the specific identification method.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each
asset. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: buildings and
improvements 10 to 30 years, and machinery and equipment 7 to 25 years. Repairs and maintenance
charges are expensed as incurred.
F-9
Table of Contents
Asset Impairment. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets
to be held and used, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a
long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset
is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which
the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is
determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the
risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner,
except that the fair market values are primarily based on independent appraisals and preliminary or
definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose.
Goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, (SFAS 142). As such,
the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment by reporting unit and records an impairment
charge if the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying
value. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, all of the Companys goodwill is attributable to its
manufacturing reporting unit. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of
March 31, 2009. The first step under SFAS 142 is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit
to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is less than the carrying value,
the second step must be completed, comparing the fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of
goodwill. In assessing the fair value of the manufacturing reporting unit, the Company considered
both the market and income approaches. Within the market approach, the fair value of the reporting
unit was based on multiples derived from certain financial information of selected guideline public
companies deemed comparable to the reporting unit being valued. Within the income approach, the
fair value of the reporting unit was based on the discounted cash flow method, which compares the
present value of expected future cash flows with the carrying value of the reporting units net
assets. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions,
including estimated future revenue growth rates, gross margins, operating margins, capital
expenditures, and discount rates. Each approach was given equal weight in arriving at the fair
value of the reporting unit. Based on this analysis, the fair value of the reporting unit was
deemed to be greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit as of March 31, 2009. As such,
there was no need to continue to the second step under SFAS 142 and test the goodwill individually.
Warranties. The Company provides retail homebuyers or builder/developers with a twelve-month
warranty for manufacturing defects from the date of sale to the retail customer. Estimated warranty
costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. The warranty provision and reserves are
based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold as
of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation are the estimated
amount of homes still under warranty including homes in retailer inventories, homes purchased by
consumers still within the twelve-month warranty period, the timing in which work orders are
completed, and the historical average costs incurred to service a home.
Retailer Volume Rebates. The Companys manufacturing operations sponsor volume rebate
programs under which certain sales to retailers and builder/developers can qualify for cash rebates
generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are
accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.
Reserve for Repurchase Commitment. The Company is contingently liable under terms of
repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of
its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase
of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these
agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally
declines over the period of the agreement (typically 18 to 24 months) and is further reduced by the
resale value of repurchased homes. The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and
107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45) and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies (SFAS 5) to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the
provisions of FIN 45, during the period in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase
commitment), the Company records the greater of the estimated fair value of the non-contingent
obligation or a contingent liability under the provisions of SFAS 5, based on historical
information available, as a reduction to sales. Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the
repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood that it will be called on to perform
under the inventory repurchase commitments. If it becomes probable that a retailer will default
and a SFAS 5 loss reserve should be recorded, then such contingent liability is recorded equal to
the estimated loss on repurchase. Changes in the reserve are recorded as an adjustment to sales.
Following the inception of the commitment, the recorded reserve is reduced over the repurchase
period in conjunction with applicable curtailment arrangements and is eliminated once the retailer
sells the home.
Insurance. The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its general and products
liability, auto liability, workers compensation liability, health and property coverage. Between
October 1, 2006, and October 1, 2008, the Company was fully insured for workers compensation.
Insurance is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law.
Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated claims incurred but
not yet reported. For products
liability in particular, the Company has purchased stop loss insurance, which will reimburse
the Company for individual claims or aggregate claims exceeding $1,000 annually. A reserve for
products liability is actuarially determined and reflected in accrued liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheets. The determination of claims and expenses and the appropriateness of
the related liability is regularly reviewed and updated.

Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $268, $232 and $269 for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Freight. Substantially all freight costs are reimbursed by the Companys retailers. Sales
and cost of sales include freight income and expense of $5,931, $6,233 and $6,393 for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (SFAS 109) and FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) and provides for income taxes
utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the
future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are
recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or
payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes
result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Companys assets and liabilities
and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based
on the Companys estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If
payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would
result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined
to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment,
a further charge to expense would result.
Net Income Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings
per common share is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents,
comprised of shares issuable under the Companys share-based compensation plans and the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common
share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options to purchase shares, which is
calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share were 7,052, 1,695 and 1,589 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Comprehensive Income. Total comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive
income (loss). The Company had no other comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. As such, net income equals total comprehensive income of $458,
$6,312 and $11,549 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which clarifies that the term fair value is intended to mean a
market-based measure, not an entity-specific measure and gives the highest priority to quoted
prices in active markets in determining fair value. SFAS 157 requires disclosures about (1) the
extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the methods and
assumptions used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect of fair value measures on earnings. This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FSP FAS 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 that delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 for the majority of non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities. Therefore, effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets
and liabilities only, which had no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 157 will
have upon adoption for non-financial assets and liabilities on our results of operations and
consolidated financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), which permits
an entity to choose to irrevocably elect fair value on a contract-by-contract basis as the initial
and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities and certain other
items including insurance contracts. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to
recognize changes in fair value in earnings and to expense upfront cost and fees associated with
the item for which the fair value option is elected. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on April 1, 2008 but
did not elect the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R), and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), which significantly change the
financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling
interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited.
Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will have on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and other regulatory
bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise
discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements upon
adoption.

3. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a self-funded group medical plan which is administered by third party
administrators. The medical plan has reinsurance coverage limiting liability for any individual
employee loss to a maximum of $200. Incurred claims identified under the third-party
administrators incident reporting system and incurred but not reported claims are accrued based on
estimates that incorporate the Companys past experience, as well as other considerations such as
the nature of each claim or incident, relevant trend factors and advice from consulting actuaries
when necessary. Medical claims expense was $2,692, $2,246 and $2,095 for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company sponsors an employee savings plan (the 401k Plan) that is intended to provide
participating employees with additional income upon retirement. Employees may contribute up to
100% of their eligible compensation up to federal limits to the 401k Plan. The Company matches up
to 50% of the first 5% of eligible income contributed by employees. Employees are immediately
eligible to participate and employer matching contributions are vested progressively over a four
year period. Contribution expense was $65, $126 and $232 for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
4. Commitments and Contingencies
Repurchase Contingencies The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase
agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of
its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase
of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The Company applies FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and
107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45) and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies (FAS 5), to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the
provisions of FIN 45, issuance of a guarantee results in two different types of obligations: (1) a
non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the repurchase commitment (accounted for
pursuant to FIN 45) and (2) a contingent obligation to make future payments under the conditions of
the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 5). Management reviews the retailers
inventories to estimate the amount of inventory subject to repurchase obligation which is used to
calculate (1) the fair value of the non-contingent obligation for repurchase commitments and (2)
the contingent liability based on historical information available at the time. During the period
in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of
these two calculations as a liability for repurchase commitments and as a reduction to sales.
(1) The Company estimates the fair value of the non-contingent portion of its manufacturers
inventory repurchase commitment under the provisions of FIN 45 when a home is shipped to retailers
whose floor plan financing includes a repurchase commitment. The fair value of the inventory
repurchase agreement is determined by calculating the net present value of the difference in (a)
the interest cost to carry the inventory over the maximum repurchase liability period at the
prevailing floor plan note interest rate and (b) the interest cost to carry the inventory over the
maximum repurchase liability period at the interest rate of a similar type loan without a
manufacturers repurchase agreement in force.
(2) The Company estimates the contingent obligation to make future payments under its
manufacturers inventory repurchase commitment for the same pool of commitments as used in the fair
value calculation above and records the greater of the two calculations. This SFAS No. 5 contingent
obligation is estimated using historical loss factors, including the frequency of repurchases and
the losses experienced by the Company for repurchased inventory.
Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates
the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If
it becomes probable that a retailer will default and a SFAS No. 5 loss reserve should be recorded,
then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Based on
identified changes in retailers financial conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of
default for retailers who are identified at an elevated risk of default and applies a probability
of default, based on historical default rates. Commensurate with this default probability
evaluation, the Company reviews repurchase notifications received from floor plan sources and
reviews retailer inventory for expected repurchase notifications based on various communications
from the lenders and the retailers as well as for dealers who, the Company believes, are
experiencing financial difficulty. The Companys repurchase commitments for the retailers in the
category of elevated risk of default are excluded from the pool of commitments used in both of the
calculations at (1) and (2) above. Changes in the reserve are recorded as an adjustment to sales.
The maximum amount for which the Company was liable under such agreements approximated $18,707
at March 31, 2009, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. The Company had a reserve
for repurchase commitments of $741 and $950 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company
incurred a repurchase reserve reduction of $179 during fiscal year 2009 and no repurchase reserve
reductions during fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Leases The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating leases with
various renewal options. Rent expense
was $1,708, $1,790 and $2,032 for fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under all noncancelable operating leases having a
remaining term in excess of one year at March 31, 2009, are as follows:

Letter of Credit The Company maintains an $870 outstanding letter of credit with J.P. Morgan
Chase Bank N.A. issued to satisfy the remaining requirements of the self-funded workers
compensation program which concluded on September 30, 2006. There have been no draws against the
letter of credit.
Legal Matters The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary
course and are incidental to its business. Certain of the claims pending against the Company in
these proceedings allege, among other things, breach of contract and warranty, product liability
and personal injury. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience and the
information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending and
threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances
currently unknown to management will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened
litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is
required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance
on derecognizing, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 had no significant impact on the
Companys results of operations or balance sheet for the year ended March 31, 2008 and required no
adjustment to opening balance sheet accounts as of March 31, 2007.
The Company has recorded an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the year
and there would be an insignificant effect on the effective tax rate if all unrecognized tax
benefits were recognized. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company has recorded an insignificant amount of interest
and penalties in the statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. In
addition, at March 31, 2009, the Company has Arizona, California and New Mexico state net operating
loss carrryforwards that total $6,864 and that begin to expire in 2014.
Income tax returns are filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several state
jurisdictions. In June 2008, the Company received a notice of examination from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) for the Companys federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. In November 2008, the Company received a letter from the IRS stating that after further
review of the Companys fiscal year 2007 tax returns, the IRS would not continue its examination at
that time. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the IRS for years before fiscal year
2006. However, the Company is under audit by the Arizona Department of Revenue for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2006, has not received any indication of required
adjustments from the department, and no adjustments have been proposed. The Company is no longer
subject to examinations by state tax authorities in Arizona and California for years before fiscal
year 2004. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be
sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to
the Companys financial position. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit related to any
particular tax position is not anticipated to change significantly within the next 12 months.

7. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains stock incentive plans whereby stock option grants or awards of
restricted stock may be made to certain of our officers, directors and key employees. The plans,
which are stockholder approved, permit the award of up to 1,350,000 shares of the Companys common
stock, of which 554,626 shares were still available for grant at March 31, 2009. When options are
exercised, new shares of the Companys common stock are issued. Stock options may not be granted
below 100% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant and
generally expire seven years from the date of grant. Stock options and awards of restricted stock
vest over a three to five-year period. The stock incentive plans provide for accelerated vesting
of stock options and removal of restrictions on restricted stock awards upon a change in control
(as defined in the plans).
Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the above plans
in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and its related interpretations, as permitted by FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123). Under the disclosure-only
provisions of FAS 123, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, no option-based compensation cost was recognized, as all
options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock
on the date of grant.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB
Statement No. 123 revised 2004, Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)), and SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), using the modified-prospective transition method. Other than
restricted stock awards, no share-based compensation cost had been reflected in net income prior to
the adoption of FAS 123(R) and the results for prior periods have not been restated. The
recognized compensation costs during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 under the
modified-prospective transition method include (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments
granted prior to, but not fully vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted subsequent to April 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R).
Stock option compensation expense under FAS 123(R) decreased income before income taxes by
approximately $121, $394 and $778 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Total compensation cost, including costs related to the vesting of restricted stock
awards, charged against income for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was
approximately $137, $412 and $846, respectively.
As of March 31, 2009, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was
approximately $334 and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be
recognized is approximately 2.97 years.
The following table summarizes the option activity within the Companys stock-based

The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $11.26, $12.59 and $12.55, respectively. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
were $1,097, $1,494 and $855, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of
stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model is affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a
number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include actual and projected employee
stock option exercise behaviors, the Companys expected stock price volatility over the expected
term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The fair values of options
granted were estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:
Fiscal Year | ||||||||||||
2009 | 2008 | 2007 | ||||||||||
Volatility |
36.1 | % | 32.7 | % | 33.8 | % | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate |

Dividend yield |
0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | ||||||
Expected option life in years |
4.45 | 4.50 | 4.25 |
The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by using the simplified method as
prescribed by SAB 107 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). The Company uses the
simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical share option exercise data due
to the limited period of time the Companys equity shares have been publicly traded. The Company
estimates the expected volatility of its common stock taking into consideration its historical
stock price movement and its expected future stock price trends based on known or anticipated
events. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option pricing model on
U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore
uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option-pricing model. The Company is required to
estimate future forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods
if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate
pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation cost only for those awards that
are expected to vest. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense using the
straight-line attribution method.
Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing market value of the Companys common stock
on the date of grant, and the total value of the award is expensed ratably over the service period
of the employees receiving the grants. A summary of restricted stock activity within the Companys
share-based compensation plans and changes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 is as follows:
Grant-Date | ||||||||
Shares | Fair Value | |||||||
Nonvested at March 31, 2008 |
1,524 | $ | 35.41 | |||||
Vested |
(342 | ) | 35.09 | |||||
Nonvested at March 31, 2009 |
1,182 | $ | 35.50 | |||||
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the adoption of FAS 123(R) resulted
in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting
increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $274, $470 and $256, respectively, related
to incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the periods.

8. Business Segment Information
The Company operates in two business segments Manufacturing and Retail. Through its
Manufacturing segment, the Company designs and manufactures homes which are sold primarily in the
Southwestern and South Central United States to a network of retailers which includes Company-owned
retail locations comprising the Retail segment. The Companys Retail segment derives its revenues
from home sales to individuals. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Retail segment results include
retail profits from the sale of homes to consumers but do not include any manufacturing segment
profits associated with the homes sold. Intercompany transactions between reportable operating
segments are eliminated in consolidation. Substantially all depreciation and capital expenditures
are related to the Manufacturing segment. Each segments results include corporate office costs
that are directly and exclusively incurred for the segment. The following table summarizes
information with respect to the Companys business segments for the periods indicated:

9. Discontinued Operations
The Company has plans to dispose of certain of its retail sales centers and these operations
are classified as discontinued retail operations. Finished goods inventories to be liquidated in
conjunction with the disposal of these retail sales centers approximated $183, $422 and $768 at
March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Income from discontinued retail operations for fiscal
2007 resulted from better than anticipated results from liquidating retail inventories at our
closed locations. Net sales for the retail sales centers to be disposed of were $1,866, $3,221 and
$5,251 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Income from
discontinued retail operations net of income taxes is presented on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
10. Related Party Transactions
During fiscal 2008, the Company invested $7,000 in the Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund.
GAMCO Investors, Inc. beneficially owned approximately 10% of our outstanding common shares and
thus meets the definition of a principal owner under FASB Statement No. 57, Related Party
Disclosures. The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and GAMCO Investors, Inc. are either
directly or indirectly under common control. Interest earned on our investment and reinvested
during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $97 and $37, respectively.

11. Subsequent Event
During May 2009, the Company initiated a plan to move its park model and vacation cabin
manufacturing operations from its Specialty plant to a second production line at its Litchfield
facility. Both of these plants are located in the metropolitan area of Phoenix, Arizona. This
move will provide greater capabilities for the production of park models, cabins, and other
specialty buildings, create improved overall operational efficiencies at the Litchfield factory, as
well as reduce overhead expenses. The transition is planned to occur primarily during the first
quarter of fiscal 2010. The costs associated with this transition are anticipated to be
immaterial, and the Company does not anticipate any significant impairment charges for the
Specialty facility. Cavco will continue to utilize the Specialty facility for supplemental
operations supporting its other factories.
