NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of February 28, 2006, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2006 and 2005. Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation’s business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The audited consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2005 and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Inventories are stated at cost, determined under the first-in, first-out method, which is not in excess of market. Physical inventory counts are taken at the end of each reporting quarter. Total inventories for the periods presented consisted of (dollars in thousands):

		February 28, 2006				May 31, 2005
Raw materials		$	5,787			$	4,174
Work in process			5,664				5,642

The warranties are backed by a corporate service department and an extensive field service system. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale based upon current sales, historical experience and management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims. The adequacy of the recorded warranty liability is periodically assessed and the amount is adjusted as necessary. A reconciliation of accrued warranty and related expenses is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Accrued warranty and related expenses		$	7,800			$	7,658

The Corporation was contingently liable at February 28, 2006 under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of its products. Under these arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries, the Corporation agrees to repurchase units in the event of default by the retailer at declining prices over the term of the agreement, generally 12 months. The maximum repurchase liability is the total amount that would be paid upon the default of all the Corporation’s independent dealers. The maximum potential repurchase liability, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was approximately $104 million at February 28, 2006 and $106 million at May 31, 2005. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over many retailers and financial institutions. The loss, if any, under these agreements is the difference between the repurchase cost and the resale value of the units. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes a reserve for potential net losses on repurchased units. There were two units repurchased for approximately $80,000 in the first nine months ended February 28, 2006. The Corporation did not incur a loss related to the repurchases. There were no repurchases in the nine-month period ending February 28, 2005.

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The Corporation is a party to various pending legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management believes that any losses resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

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

Overview

The Corporation sells manufactured housing and towable recreational vehicle products to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States. To better serve the needs of its dealers, the Corporation has twenty-two manufacturing facilities in eleven states. Manufactured housing and recreational vehicles are sold to dealers either through floor plan financing with various financial institutions or on a cash basis. While the Corporation maintains production of manufactured homes and recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured homes are affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporation’s northern plants. Recreational vehicle sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter months.

Sales in both business segments are affected by the strength of the U.S. economy, interest rate levels, consumer confidence and the availability of wholesale and retail financing. The manufactured housing segment is currently affected by an industry recession. This recession, caused primarily by restrictive retail financing and economic uncertainty, has resulted in industry sales which over the last three years have been the lowest in decades. In the recreational vehicle segment, the Corporation sells travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models. Industry sales of travel trailers and fifth wheels have seen steady growth in recent years. Demand has recently increased due to ongoing hurricane relief efforts in the Gulf coast region of the United States.

Despite the recession in the manufactured housing industry, demand for multi-section homes is increasing. This product is often sold as part of a land-home package and is financed with a conventional mortgage. Multi-section homes have an appearance similar to site-built homes and are notably less expensive. Eight of the Corporation’s manufactured housing facilities have obtained approval from applicable state and local governmental entities to produce modular homes, which will help meet the demand for multi-section homes.

The recreational vehicle segment in which the Corporation operates is a very competitive ever-changing market. This segment is currently experiencing increased demand for travel trailers resulting from hurricane relief efforts. The Corporation is contributing to relief efforts by providing recreational vehicles to its nationwide network of independent dealers.

Increased demand occurred for both single section and multi-section homes. In addition, sales rose due to an increase in the average selling price of both products.

Recreational vehicle sales increased as a result of hurricane driven demand for towable travel trailers. The Corporation estimates that approximately 900 units related to hurricane relief were sold to independent dealers for approximately $9 million.

Cash and U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes		$	150,519			$	149,525			$	994
Current assets exclusive of cash and U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes		$	51,013			$	42,537			$	8,476
Current liabilities		$	40,810			$	37,399			$	3,411
Working capital		$	160,722			$	154,663			$	6,059

The Corporation’s policy is to invest its excess cash, which exceeds its operating needs, in U.S. Government Securities. Current assets, exclusive of cash and U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes, increased due to a rise in accounts receivables, $2,004,000, inventories, $1,987,000 and other current assets, $4,485,000. Accounts receivable increased due to the timing of payment from dealers. Inventories increased primarily due to an increase in raw material costs. Other current assets increased due to the timing of funding of workers’ compensation claims with the Corporation’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier.

The rise in current liabilities is primarily due to a $4,325,000 increase in accrued marketing programs which was driven by higher sales and the timing of payments for an ongoing marketing program.

Capital expenditures totaled $1,896,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2006 versus $2,236,000 in the comparable period of the previous year. Capital expenditures during this period were made primarily to replace or refurbish machinery, equipment and facilities in addition to improving manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, the Corporation received net proceeds totaling $1,493,000 from the sale of vacant land.

The cash provided by operating activities, along with current cash and other short-term investments, is expected to be adequate to fund any capital expenditures and treasury stock purchases during the year. Historically, the Corporation’s financing needs have been met through funds generated internally.

Other Matters

The provisions for federal income taxes in each year approximates the statutory rate and for state income taxes reflects current state rates effective for the period based upon activities within the taxable entities.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect transactions in the dollar values in which they were incurred and, therefore, do not attempt to measure the impact of inflation. The Corporation, however, experienced in fiscal 2005 significant increases in the cost of lumber, lumber-related materials and steel.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued).

Other Matters (continued)

Although the Corporation was unable to recover all of the increases in the first half of fiscal 2005, on a long-term basis it has demonstrated an ability to adjust selling prices in reaction to changing costs due to inflation. The Corporation believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations during the first nine months of fiscal 2006.
