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 November 30, 2005, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2005 and 2004. 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):

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):

The Corporation was contingently liable at November 30, 2005 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 $92 million at November 30, 2005 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 six months ended November 30, 2005. The Corporation did not incur a loss related to the repurchases. There were no repurchases in the six-month period ending November 2004.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations.
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 continue to be 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. However, recent demand has fluctuated due to a softening of demand for fifth wheels over the past few months which has been offset at times by hurricane driven demand for towable travel trailers.
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 witnessing an ongoing shift in consumer demand for both metal-sided products and products with bonded wall construction. The Corporation is positioning itself to take advantage of the available opportunities in the towable recreational vehicle segment in which it competes.

Manufactured housing unit sales continue to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing and economic uncertainty impacting the entire manufactured housing industry. Despite these challenges, 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 multi-section homes.
Recreational vehicle sales increased as a result of increased demand for towable travel trailers. In addition, the recreational vehicle industry experienced greater demand for its products in the aftermath of hurricanes striking the gulf coast of the United States.

Manufactured housing and recreational vehicle cost of sales increased due to increased sales. As a percentage of sales, however, cost of sales decreased resulting from the timing of the impact of increased selling prices.

Manufactured housing unit sales continue to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing and economic uncertainty impacting the entire manufactured housing industry. Despite these challenges, 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 multi-section homes.
     Recreational vehicle sales experienced a slight decrease overall during this six-month period. However, sales did increase for towable travel trailers in the second fiscal quarter due in part to hurricane driven demand.

  *The percentages for manufactured housing and recreational vehicles are based on segment sales. The percentage for consolidated cost of sales is based on total sales.
Manufactured housing cost of sales increased due to increased sales. Recreational vehicle cost of sales decreased due to fewer units sold in the first half of fiscal 2006 versus 2005. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales for both segments decreased as a result of the timing of the impact of increased selling prices.

Working Capital

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, $2,124,000, inventories, $1,143,000 and other current assets, $2,052,000. Accounts receivable and inventories increased as a result of higher amount of sales in November 2005 versus May 2005. Other current assets increased due to funding of workers’ compensation claims with the Corporation’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
The rise in current liabilities is primarily due to a $4,713,000 increase in accrued marketing programs which was driven by higher sales and the timing of payments for an ongoing marketing program.
Capital expenditures totaled $1,194,000 for the six-months ended November 30, 2005 versus $1,867,000 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. 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
