CHAMPION ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim
periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Financial results of the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period
or for the fiscal year. The balance sheet as of December 30, 2006 was derived from audited
financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
For a description of significant accounting policies used by Champion Enterprises, Inc.
(Champion or the Company) in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, please
refer to Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.
The Company operates in three segments. The North American manufacturing segment (the
manufacturing segment) consists of 28 manufacturing facilities as of June 30, 2007 that primarily
construct factory-built manufactured and modular houses throughout the U.S. and in western Canada.
The international manufacturing segment (the international segment) consists of Caledonian
Building Systems Limited (Caledonian), a manufacturer of steel-framed modular buildings for
prisons, military accommodations, hotels and residential units. Caledonian operates four
manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom. The retail segment currently operates 17 retail
sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers throughout California.
In the second quarter of 2006 the Company reversed substantially all of its valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets. The reversal, as originally reported, resulted in a non-cash
tax benefit of $109.7 million. However, in December 2006 it was subsequently reduced effective
July 1, 2006, by $7.8 million ($0.10 per share) primarily to eliminate the tax effect of net
operating loss carryforwards related to tax deductions for stock option exercises, the benefit of
which, when recognized will result in an increase to shareholders equity. The financial
statements and disclosures for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006 contained in this report
have been restated for this adjustment.
NOTE 2 Acquisitions
On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired certain of the assets and the business of North
American Housing Corp. and an affiliate (North American) for approximately $31 million of cash
plus assumption of certain operating liabilities. On March 31, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of
the membership interests of Highland Manufacturing Company, LLC (Highland) for cash consideration
of approximately $23 million. The results of operations of North American and Highland are
included in the Companys results from continuing operations and in its manufacturing segment for
periods subsequent to the respective acquisition dates.
On April 7, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of United Kingdom-based
Calsafe Group (Holdings) Limited and its operating subsidiary Caledonian Building Systems Limited
(Caledonian) for approximately $100 million in cash, plus potential contingent purchase price of
up to approximately $6.4 million and additional potential contingent consideration to be paid over
four years from the acquisition date. The results of operations of Caledonian are included in the
Companys results from continuing operations and in its international segment for periods
subsequent to its acquisition date.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma combined results as if Champion had acquired
Highland, Caledonian and North American on January 1, 2006, instead of the actual acquisition dates
of March 31, 2006, April 7, 2006 and July 31, 2006, respectively:

The pro forma results include amortization of amortizable intangible assets acquired and
valued in the transactions. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually
would have occurred if the transactions had been completed as of the beginning of the periods
presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results. For more detail on
these acquisitions, please refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.
NOTE 3 Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation Number 48 (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies accounting for uncertain tax positions using a more
likely than not recognition threshold for tax positions. Under FIN 48, the Company will initially
recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based
on the technical merits of the tax position, that such a position will be sustained upon
examination by the relevant tax authorities. If the tax benefit meets the more likely than not
threshold, the measurement of the tax benefit will be based on the Companys best estimate of the
ultimate tax benefit to be sustained if audited by the taxing authority. The adoption of FIN 48
had no significant impact on the Companys results of operations or balance sheet for the three or
six months ended June 30, 2007 and required no adjustment to opening balance sheet accounts as of
December 30, 2006.
The primary difference between the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate was due to the use of an annual estimated effective global
tax rate of 19.2% and the inclusion of a $0.5 million tax benefit from the settlement of a tax
uncertainty during the period. The annual estimated effective global tax rate for 2007 was
determined after consideration of both the estimated annual pretax results and the related
statutory tax rates for the three countries and the various states in which the Company operates.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2006 differs from the 35% U.S. federal
statutory rate primarily due to adjustments of the deferred tax valuation allowance totaling $108.2
million. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company reversed its valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets after determining that realization of the deferred tax assets was more likely than not.
Subsequent to this reversal, the Companys pre-tax results are fully tax effected for financial
reporting purposes. The reversal, as originally reported, resulted in a non-cash tax benefit of
$109.7 million but was subsequently reduced effective July 1, 2006, by $7.8 million primarily to
eliminate the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards related to tax deductions for stock
option exercises, the benefit of which, when recognized, will result in an increase to
shareholders equity. The remainder of the adjustment of the valuation allowance during the period
was due to utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
As of December 30, 2006, the Company had available U.S. federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $178 million for tax purposes to offset certain future federal
taxable income. These loss carryforwards expire in 2023 through 2026. As of December 30, 2006, the
Company had available state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $181 million for tax
purposes to offset future state taxable income. These carryforwards expire primarily in 2016
through 2026.
There was no significant income tax expense or benefit related to discontinued operations for
the three or six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction
and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject
to U.S. federal, state and foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003.
Included
in the balance sheets at June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006 are tax accruals of
approximately $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, including
$0.3 million of accrued interest and penalties. The decrease in these accruals during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily related to the settlement of a tax uncertainty.
Recognition of any of these unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Companys effective tax
rate. The Company classifies interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties as a component of
income tax expense.

The Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement with various financial institutions
on October 31, 2005, which was amended and restated on April 7, 2006 (the Restated Credit Agreement). The
Restated Credit Agreement was originally comprised of a $100 million term loan (the Term Loan), a
£45 million term loan
Page 8
denominated in pounds Sterling (the Sterling Term Loan), a revolving line
of credit in the amount of $40 million and a $60 million letter of credit facility. As of June 30,
2007, letters of credit issued under the facility totaled $55.7 million and there were no
borrowings under the revolving line of credit. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Term Loan
was reduced by $27.8 million due to a voluntary repayment. The Restated Credit Agreement also
provides the Company the right from time to time to borrow incremental uncommitted term loans of up
to an additional $100 million, which may be denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds Sterling. The
Restated Credit Agreement is secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the
assets of the Companys U.S. operating subsidiaries.
The Restated Credit Agreement requires annual principal payments for the Term Loan and the
Sterling Term Loan totaling approximately $1.9 million due in equal quarterly installments. The
interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan is currently a LIBOR based rate (5.32% at June 30,
2007) plus 2.75%. The interest rate for borrowings under the Sterling Term Loan is currently a UK
LIBOR based rate (5.79% at June 30, 2007) plus 2.75%. Letter of credit fees are 2.85% annually and
revolver borrowings bear interest either at the prime interest rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%.
In addition, there is a fee on the unused portion of the facility ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%
annually.
The maturity date for each of the Term Loan, the Sterling Term Loan and the letter of credit
facility is October 31, 2012 and the maturity date for the revolving line of credit is October 31,
2010 unless, as of February 3, 2009, more than $25 million in aggregate principal amount of the
Companys 7.625% Senior Notes due 2009 are outstanding, in which case the maturity date for the
four facilities will be February 3, 2009.
The Restated Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. During the second
quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Restated Credit Agreement (the
Second Amendment), which modified certain financial covenants and increased interest rates and
letter of credit fees for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. Prior to the
Second Amendment, the Company was required to maintain a maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined) of no
more than 5.0 to 1 for the first quarter of 2007, 3.25 to 1 for the second and third fiscal
quarters of 2007, 3.0 to 1 for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 and 2.75 to 1 thereafter. The
Second Amendment increased the permitted maximum Leverage Ratio for the second, third and fourth
fiscal quarters of 2007 to 5.00 to 1. The Leverage Ratio is the ratio of Total Debt (as defined)
of the Company on the last day of a fiscal quarter to its consolidated EBITDA (as defined) for the
four-quarter period then ended. Prior to the Second Amendment, the Company was also required to
maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined) of not less than 2.25 to 1 in the first
quarter of 2007 and 3.0 to 1 thereafter. The Second Amendment reduced the minimum Interest
Coverage Ratio to 2.25 to 1 for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. The Interest
Coverage Ratio is the ratio of the Companys consolidated EBITDA for the four-quarter period then
ended to its Cash Interest Expense (as defined) over the same four-quarter period. In addition,
annual mandatory prepayments are required should the Company generate Excess Cash Flow (as
defined). As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all Restated Credit Agreement
covenants as amended.
The Second Amendment increased the interest rate on the Term Loan, the Sterling Term Loan and
the revolving line of credit by 0.25% and increased annual letter of credit fees by 0.25% for the
second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. These revisions are reflected in the rates
specified above.
The Senior Notes due 2009 are secured equally and ratably with obligations under the Restated
Credit Agreement. Interest is payable semi-annually at an annual rate of 7.625%. The indenture
governing the Senior Notes due 2009 contains covenants, which, among other things, limit the
Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness and incur liens on assets.
NOTE 7 Contingent Liabilities
As is customary in the manufactured housing industry, a significant portion of the
manufacturing segments sales to independent retailers are made pursuant to repurchase agreements
with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to the retailers. Pursuant
to these agreements, generally for a period of up to 18 months from invoice date of the sale of the
homes and upon default by the retailers and repossession by the financial institution, the Company
is obligated to purchase the related floor plan loans or repurchase the homes from the lender. The
contingent repurchase obligation at June 30, 2007, was estimated to be approximately $230 million,
without reduction for the resale value of the homes. Losses under repurchase obligations represent
the difference between the repurchase price and the estimated net proceeds from the resale of the
homes, less accrued rebates that will not be paid. Losses incurred on homes repurchased totaled
less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.
At June 30, 2007 the Company was contingently obligated for approximately $55.7 million under
letters of credit, primarily comprised of $41.5 million to support insurance reserves and $12.6
million to support long-term
Page 9
debt. Champion was also contingently obligated for $19.3 million
under surety bonds, generally to support license and service bonding requirements. Approximately
$54.2 million of the letters of credit support insurance reserves and debt that are reflected as
liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
At June 30, 2007, certain of the Companys subsidiaries were contingently obligated under
reimbursement agreements for approximately $2.5 million of debt of unconsolidated affiliates, none
of which was reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These obligations are related
to indebtedness of certain manufactured housing community developments, which are collateralized by
the properties.
The Company has provided various representations, warranties and other standard
indemnifications in the ordinary course of its business, in agreements to acquire and sell business
assets, and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and
claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business.
Management believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will
not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
NOTE 8 Earnings Per Share, Stock Options and Stock-Based Incentive Plans

The Company has various stock option and stock-based incentive plans and agreements whereby
stock options, performance share awards, restricted stock awards and other stock-based incentives
were made available to certain employees, directors and others. Stock options were granted below,
at, or above fair market value and generally expire six, seven or ten years from the grant date.
Some options become exercisable immediately and others over a period of up to five years. In
addition to these plans, other nonqualified stock options and awards have been granted to executive
officers and certain employees and in connection with acquisitions. Awards of performance shares
and restricted stock are accounted for by valuing shares expected to vest at grant date market
value. The fair value of stock options has been determined by using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation cost totaled $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.3 million for the
three and six months ended July 1, 2006, respectively, and is included in general and
administrative expenses.
The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding stock options for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007:

Cash in the amount of $1.4 million and $2.0 million was received from the exercise of stock
options during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively. No tax benefits
were recognized in the financial statements from these stock option exercises due to the Companys
net operating loss carryforwards.
As of June 30, 2007, outstanding stock awards consisted of 1,447,665 performance awards,
69,000 restricted stock awards, 61,665 time based awards and 103,050 other stock awards. The
performance awards will vest and be issued only if the participants remain employed by the Company
through the vesting date and the number of shares earned will be based on the proportion of certain
three-year performance targets that are attained for 2005 through 2007, 2006 through 2008 and 2007
through 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, a total of 200,286 common shares vested, of
which 135,231 shares were issued, net of taxes, relating to performance shares with three-year
targets for 2004 through 2006 and 22,050 other stock awards vested. In addition, in 2007 a total
of 540,000 performance shares were granted for the 2007 through 2009 three-year program.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
CHAMPION ENTERPRISES, INC.
Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
versus the Three and Six Months Ended July 1, 2006
Overview
We are a leading producer of factory-built housing in the United States. We are also a
leading producer, in the United Kingdom, of steel-framed modular buildings for use as prisons,
military accommodations, hotels and residential units. As of June 30, 2007, our North American
manufacturing segment (the manufacturing segment) consisted of 28 homebuilding facilities in 16
states and two provinces in western Canada. As of June 30, 2007, our homes were sold through more
than 3,000 independent sales centers, builders and developers across the U.S. and western Canada
and through our retail segment that operates 17 sales offices in California.
We made three acquisitions during 2006. The results of operations for these businesses are
included in the Companys results from continuing operations subsequent to their respective
acquisition dates.
On April 7, 2006, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of United Kingdom-based Calsafe Group
(Holdings) Limited and its operating subsidiary Caledonian Building Systems Limited (Caledonian)
for approximately $100 million in cash, plus potential contingent purchase price of up to
approximately $6.4 million and additional potential contingent consideration to be paid over four
years. Our international manufacturing segment (the international segment) currently consists of
Caledonian and its four manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom.
On July 31, 2006 we acquired certain of the assets and the business of North American Housing
Corp. and an affiliate (North American) for approximately $31 million of cash plus assumption of
certain operating liabilities. North American is a modular homebuilder that operates two plants in
Virginia. On March 31, 2006, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Highland
Manufacturing Company, LLC (Highland), a manufacturer of modular and HUD-code homes that operates
one plant in Minnesota, for cash consideration of approximately $23 million. North American and
Highland are included in our manufacturing segment.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, our manufacturing segment results improved
significantly over our 2007 first quarter results, our international segment had its strongest
quarter since the acquisition in terms of sales, segment income and segment margin percent and our
retail segment reported lower sales and segment income, which was a reflection of the challenging
housing market conditions in California.
During the second quarter of 2007, the manufacturing segment saw improved incoming order rates
in the U.S. as compared to the first quarter of 2007, and at quarter end the level of unfilled
orders was 62% higher than at the end of the first quarter of 2007 and 31% higher than at July 1,
2006. Our manufacturing segment continued to enjoy high sales volumes in Canada due to very strong
market conditions as homes sold in Canada during the period increased 82% compared to the same
period in 2006. Despite operating at 60% of capacity for the second quarter of 2007, the
manufacturing segment margin improved to 6.7%, which was up slightly from the second quarter of
2006.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, pretax income from continuing operations was $10.0
million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 13%, versus the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in
income was due primarily to lower sales in the manufacturing and retail segments, and was partially
offset by improved sales and income in the international segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our pretax loss from continuing operations was $0.3
million, which was a decrease in income of $26.7 million versus the comparable period of 2006.
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 20, 2007 declined $127.0 million, or 18%, from
the comparable period of 2006, primarily due to lower sales volume in the manufacturing and retail
segments, and was partially offset by higher sales volume in the international segment. Most of
the income reduction occurred in the first quarter of 2007 in the manufacturing segment, which saw
lower incoming order rates and lower levels of unfilled orders as a result of the difficult housing
market conditions in the U.S. and weather conditions in many parts of the country. During the
first quarter of 2007, our U.S. plants operated at only 44% of capacity, we closed one homebuilding
facility in Florida and one in Pennsylvania and we recorded $1.3 million of restructuring charges
relating to one of the plant closures. Pretax results for the six months ended June 30, 2007
included a net gain of $0.6 million, primarily from the sale of two
Page 14
idle plants, compared to net gains of $4.5 million for the comparable period of 2006, primarily
from the sale of investment property in Florida and three idle plants. Our results for the 2006
period were favorably impacted by the sale of 627 homes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) in connection with its hurricane relief efforts, which resulted in approximately $23.0
million of revenue, including delivery.
Effective July 1, 2006, we reversed substantially all of our valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets after determining that realization of the deferred tax assets was more likely than not.
Subsequent to this reversal, our pre-tax results are fully tax effected for financial reporting
purposes.
We continue to focus on matching our manufacturing capacity to industry and local market
conditions and improving or eliminating under-performing manufacturing facilities. We continually
review our manufacturing capacity and will make further adjustments as deemed necessary.

Consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the
comparable periods in 2006 primarily due to lower sales volumes from the manufacturing and retail
segments, which was partially offset by higher average selling prices in the manufacturing segment
and better second quarter sales in our international segment. Consolidated sales for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 included sales from the 2006 acquisitions, however, sales in the
comparable periods for 2006 included no sales for North American and only second quarter sales for
Caledonian and Highland. In the first six months of 2006, the manufacturing segment results
included non-recurring sales of approximately $23.0 million to FEMA.
Gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the comparable
periods of 2006 primarily as a result of lower gross margin in the manufacturing and retail
segments due to lower sales, which was partially offset by incremental gross margin contributed by
the acquisitions and increased gross margin from higher sales in the international segment. Gross
margin as a percent of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 improved over the second
quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of closing or improving under-performing plants in the
manufacturing segment and improved Canadian results. Gross margin as a percent of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was lower than the comparable period of 2006 primarily due to poor
manufacturing segment results in the first quarter of 2007, which offset improved results in the
second quarter of 2007.
SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the comparable periods of
2006 primarily as a result of lower sales in the manufacturing and retail segments and reductions
in retail SG&A, which was partially offset by incremental SG&A from the acquisitions. SG&A for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was reduced by net gains of $0.6 million, primarily from the sale of
two idle plants. SG&A for the three months ended July 1, 2006 was reduced by net gains of $0.5
million, primarily from the sale of two idle plants. SG&A for the six months ended July 1, 2006
was reduced by net gains of $4.5 million, primarily from the sale of investment property and three
idle plants.
The
inclusion of the 2006 acquisitions in our consolidated results, since their respective
acquisition dates, contributed to an increase in net sales and operating income during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2006. On a pro forma
basis, assuming we had owned these acquisitions as of the beginning of 2006, consolidated net sales
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 would have decreased by 13% and 24%, respectively,
versus the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, compared to decreases of 11% and 18% reported
in the table above. Pro forma operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
would have decreased by 20% and 82%, respectively, versus the three and six months ended July 1,
2006, compared to decreases of 12% and 77% reported in the table above.

Manufacturing segment net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the
comparable period in the prior year primarily due to lower U.S. sales volumes and the operation of
fewer plants. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher average selling prices in 2007,
increased sales in Canada due to favorable market conditions in western Canada, and incremental
sales from North American in 2007. During the second quarter of 2007, incoming order rates and
levels of unfilled orders improved versus the first quarter of 2007 and our U.S. plants operated at
60% of capacity compared to 62% for the same period a year ago. Average manufacturing selling
prices increased in 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of product mix, including increased sales,
on a percentage basis, of higher priced modular homes and military housing units.
Manufacturing segment income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the
comparable period of 2006 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes, however, the margin percent
improved slightly over last years as a result of our actions to improve operating efficiency and
improve or eliminate under-performing operations. Since May 31, 2006, we have closed or idled six
U.S. plants.
Manufacturing net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the same period
in the prior year due to lower U.S. sales volumes, including approximately $23.0 million of non-recurring
revenue from the sale of homes to FEMA in the first quarter of 2006. Partially offsetting these
decreases were higher average selling prices in 2007, increased sales in Canada and the inclusion
of incremental sales from Highland and North American in 2007. Difficult U.S. housing markets
during the first three months of 2007 contributed to lower levels of unfilled production orders and
lower sales volumes at most of our U.S. plants. Average manufacturing selling prices
Page 18
increased in
2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of product mix and the inclusion of sales to FEMA at a lower
average selling price in 2006. Product mix in 2007 included increased sales, on a percentage
basis, of higher priced modular homes and military housing units.
Manufacturing segment income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the
comparable period of 2006 primarily from lower sales volumes during the period and production
inefficiencies during the first quarter of 2007 partially offset by incremental income from
Highland and North American and increased income at our Canadian operations. Market conditions in
the U.S. during the first quarter of 2007 resulted in low levels of unfilled orders at most of our
U.S. plants, an increased number of days of production down-time and production inefficiencies
caused by under utilized factory capacity. Our U.S. plants operated at only 44% of capacity for
the first quarter of 2007. These conditions resulted in the closure of two additional plants in
the first quarter of 2007, one of which resulted in the recording of restructuring charges totaling
$1.3 million. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included a net gain of $0.6 million,
primarily from the sale of two idle plants. Results for the six months ended July 1, 2006 included
net gains of $4.5 million, primarily from the sale of investment property in Florida and three idle
plants.
Restructuring charges in the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of severance costs
totaling $0.9 million, a fixed asset impairment charge of $0.2 million and an inventory write-down
of $0.2 million. Severance costs are related to the termination of substantially all 160 employees
at the closed plant and included payments required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.
The inclusion of the 2006 acquisitions in manufacturing segment results since their respective
acquisition dates contributed to an increase in net sales and segment income during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 over the corresponding period of 2006. On a pro forma basis,
assuming we had owned these companies as of the beginning of 2006, manufacturing segment net sales
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 would have decreased by 21% and 32%, respectively,
versus the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, compared to the decreases of 19% and 30%
reported in the table above. Pro forma manufacturing segment income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 would have decreased by 25% and 66%, respectively, versus the three and six
months ended July 1, 2006, compared to the decreases of 18% and 63% reported in the table above.
Although orders from retailers can be cancelled at any time without penalty and unfilled
orders are not necessarily an indication of future business, our unfilled manufacturing segment
orders for homes at June 30, 2007 totaled approximately $68 million for the 28 plants in operation
compared to $52 million at July 1, 2006 for the 32 plants in operation. Current unfilled orders
are concentrated at seven manufacturing locations. The majority of our other plants are currently
operating with two weeks or less of unfilled orders.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 80% of international segment
revenue was derived from custodial (prison) and military housing projects. The balance of revenue
is attributable to residential and hotel projects. Sales in the second quarter of 2007 increased
over the comparable period of 2006 primarily due
Page 19
to increased custodial projects, which generally
include a higher level of revenues from site-work than the segments other product lines. Due to
the acquisition date of April 7, 2006, sales for the six months ended July 1, 2006 included only
sales made in the second quarter of 2006. Segment income, as a percent of sales, for the 2007
periods improved as a result of higher production levels, product line mix, the mix of factory
production revenue versus site-work revenue and the stage of completion of the projects. Heavy
rains in June 2007 caused flooding at the factories that damaged a large number of completed and
in-process modules resulting in the loss of approximately $4.0 million of revenue in the second
quarter. Damage from the flood is expected to be covered by insurance and the lost revenue should
be recovered during the remainder of 2007. Firm contracts and orders pending contracts under
framework agreements totaled approximately $245 million at June 30, 2007.

Retail segment sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased versus the
comparable periods last year primarily due to selling fewer homes as a result of housing market
conditions in California and the operation of fewer sales centers. Partially offsetting these
decreases was an increase in the average selling price per home, which was due to selling a higher
proportion of larger homes and homes with more add-ons and improvements. Retail segment income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased compared to the comparable periods in 2006
as gross profit was reduced due to lower sales and lower margins, which was due in part to pricing
pressure from generally difficult market conditions and sales of aged inventory. Partially
offsetting lower gross margin in the 2007 periods was a reduction of SG&A costs, primarily sales
commissions and incentive compensation.
Discontinued Operations
Results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and July
1, 2006 were insignificant.
Restructuring Charges
As of June 30, 2007, accrued but unpaid restructuring costs totaled $0.5 million compared to
$1.0 million at
Page 20
December 30, 2006, consisting primarily of warranty reserves for closed
manufacturing plants.
Interest Income and Interest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense was lower than the comparable
period in 2006 due to the voluntary repayment of $27.8 million for our Term Loan due 2012 and the
redemption of $7.0 million of Senior Notes due 2009 in the fourth quarter of 2006 partially offset
by higher interest rates in 2007. Interest income was slightly higher than the comparable period
of 2006 due to the higher interest rates offset by lower cash balances.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense was higher than the comparable period
in 2006 due to higher average borrowings and higher interest rates. Interest income in 2007 was
lower than in 2006 due primarily to lower cash balances offset partially by higher interest rates.
Income Taxes
Effective July 1, 2006, we reversed substantially all of our valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets after determining that realization of the deferred tax assets was more likely than not.
Subsequent to this reversal of the valuation allowance, our pre-tax results are fully tax effected
for financial reporting purposes.
The primary difference between the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate was the use of an annual estimated effective global tax
rate of 19.2% to provide income taxes for the period and the inclusion of a $0.5 million tax
benefit from the settlement of a tax uncertainty during the period. The annual estimated effective
global tax rate was determined after consideration of both the estimated annual pretax results and
the related statutory tax rates for the three countries and the various states in which we operate.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2006 differs from the 35% U.S. federal
statutory rate primarily due to the adjustment of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
As of December 30, 2006, we had available federal net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $178 million for tax purposes to offset certain future federal taxable income. These
loss carryforwards expire in 2023 through 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Unrestricted cash balances totaled $104.8 million at June 30, 2007. During the first six
months of 2007, continuing operating activities provided $30.5 million of cash. During the six
months ended June 30, 2007, accounts receivable and accounts payable increased by $25.2 million and
$32.3 million, respectively, primarily due to increased volume in the international segment and
seasonal increases in the manufacturing segment. Inventories decreased by $19.7 million primarily
due to an inventory reduction program in the manufacturing and retail segments and two plant
closures during the period. Other cash provided during the period included $3.4 million of
property sales proceeds that resulted primarily from the sale of two idle plants and a distribution
of $0.8 million received from the sale of property by an unconsolidated affiliate. Other cash used
during the period included $3.6 million for capital expenditures.
We entered into a senior secured credit agreement with various financial institutions on
October 31, 2005, which was amended and restated on April 7, 2006, (the Restated Credit
Agreement). The Restated Credit Agreement was originally comprised of a $100 million term loan
(the Term Loan), a £45 million term loan denominated in pounds Sterling (the Sterling Term
Loan), a revolving line of credit in the amount of $40 million and a $60 million letter of credit
facility. As of June 30, 2007 letters of credit issued under the facility totaled $55.7 million
and there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit. During the fourth quarter of
2006, the Term Loan was reduced by $27.8 million due to a voluntary repayment. The Restated Credit
Agreement also provides us with the right from time to time to borrow incremental uncommitted term
loans of up to an additional $100 million, which may be denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds
Sterling. The Restated Credit Agreement is secured by a first security interest in substantially
all of the assets of our U.S. operating subsidiaries.
The Restated Credit Agreement requires annual principal payments for the Term Loan and the
Sterling Term Loan totaling approximately $1.9 million due in equal quarterly installments. The
interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan is currently a LIBOR based rate (5.32% at June 30,
2007) plus 2.75%. The interest rate for borrowings under the Sterling Term Loan is currently a UK
LIBOR based rate (5.79% at June 30, 2007) plus 2.75%. Letter of credit fees are 2.85% annually and
revolver borrowings bear interest either at the prime interest rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%.
In addition, there is a fee on the unused portion of the facility ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%
annually.
The maturity date for each of the Term Loan, the Sterling Term Loan and the letter of credit
facility is October
Page 21
31, 2012 and the maturity date for the revolving line of credit is October 31,
2010 unless, as of February 3, 2009, more than $25 million in aggregate principal amount of our
7.625% Senior Notes due 2009 are outstanding, in which case the maturity date for the four
facilities will be February 3, 2009.
The Restated Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. During the second
quarter of 2007, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Restated Credit Agreement (the Second
Amendment), which modified certain financial covenants and increased interest rates and letter of
credit fees for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. Prior to the Second
Amendment, we were required to maintain a maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined) of no more than 5.0
to 1 for the first quarter of 2007, 3.25 to 1 for the second and third fiscal quarters of 2007, 3.0
to 1 for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 and 2.75 to 1 thereafter. The Second Amendment
increased the permitted maximum Leverage Ratio for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of
2007 to 5.00 to 1. The Leverage Ratio is the ratio of our Total Debt (as defined) on the last day
of a fiscal quarter to our EBITDA (as defined) for the four-quarter period then ended. Prior to
the Second Amendment, we were also required to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as
defined) of not less than 2.25 to 1 in the first quarter of 2007 and 3.0 to 1 thereafter. The
Second Amendment reduced the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio to 2.25 to 1 for the second, third and
fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. The Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of our consolidated
EBITDA for the four-quarter period then ended to our Cash Interest Expense (as defined) over the
same four-quarter period. In addition, annual mandatory prepayments are required should we
generate Excess Cash Flow (as defined). As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all
Restated Credit Agreement covenants as amended.
The Second Amendment increased the interest rate on the Term Loan, the Sterling Term Loan and
the revolving line of credit by 0.25% and increased annual letter of credit fees by 0.25% for the
second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007. These revisions are reflected in the rates
specified above.
The Senior Notes due 2009 are secured equally and ratably with our obligations under the
Restated Credit Agreement. Interest is payable semi-annually at an annual rate of 7.625%. The
indenture governing the Senior Notes due 2009 contains covenants that, among other things, limit
our ability to incur additional indebtedness and incur liens on assets.
We continuously evaluate our capital structure. Strategies considered to improve our capital
structure include without limitation, purchasing, refinancing, exchanging, or otherwise retiring
our outstanding indebtedness, restructuring of obligations, new financings and issuances of
securities, whether in the open market or by other means and to the extent permitted by our
existing financing arrangements. We evaluate all potential transactions in light of existing and
expected market conditions. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the
aggregate, may be material.
Unless business conditions improve significantly, we expect to spend no more than $6.0 million
on capital expenditures during the remainder of 2007. We do not plan to pay cash dividends on our
common stock in the near term. We may continue to use a portion of our cash balances and/or incur
additional indebtedness to finance acquisitions of businesses.
Contingent liabilities and obligations
We had significant contingent liabilities and obligations at June 30, 2007, including surety
bonds and letters of credit totaling $75.1 million, reimbursement obligations by certain of our
consolidated subsidiaries of approximately $2.5 million of debt of unconsolidated affiliates and
estimated wholesale repurchase obligations.
We are contingently obligated under repurchase agreements with certain lending institutions
that provide floor plan financing to our independent retailers. We use information, which is
generally available only from the primary national floor plan lenders, to estimate our contingent
repurchase obligations. As a result, this estimate of our contingent repurchase obligation may not
be precise. We estimate our contingent repurchase obligation as of June 30, 2007 was approximately
$230 million, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. As of June 30, 2007, our
independent retailer with the largest contingent repurchase obligation had approximately $8.1
million of inventory subject to repurchase for up to 18 months from date of invoice. As of June 30, 2007 our
next 24 largest independent retailers had aggregate inventory of approximately $53.3 million
subject to repurchase for up to 18 months from date of invoice, with individual amounts ranging
from approximately $0.8 million to $4.5 million per retailer. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, we paid $0.3 million and incurred a de minimus loss for the repurchase of eight homes. In
the comparable period last year, we paid $0.4 million and incurred a de minimus loss for the
repurchase of eight homes.
We have provided various representations, warranties and other standard indemnifications in
the ordinary course of our business, in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in
financing arrangements. We are also subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the
ordinary course of our business.
Page 22
Management believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent liabilities and
obligations will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Summary of liquidity and capital resources
At June 30, 2007, our unrestricted cash balances totaled $104.8 million and we had unused
availability of $39.2 million under our revolving credit facility. Therefore, total cash available
from these sources was approximately $144.0 million. We expect that our cash balances and cash
flow from operations for the next two years will be adequate to fund our operations and capital
expenditures during that period. However, our Senior Notes, of which $82.3 million were
outstanding at June 30, 2007, must be repaid on or before maturity in May 2009. During the next
two years we may use a portion of our cash balances and cash flow from operations to reduce Senior
Notes outstanding or seek to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness.
We may use a portion of our cash balances and/or incur additional indebtedness to finance
acquisitions of businesses. In the event that our operating cash flow is inadequate and one or
more of our capital resources were to become unavailable, we would revise our operating strategies
accordingly.
Critical Accounting Policies
For information regarding critical accounting policies, see Critical Accounting Policies in
Item 7 of Part II of our Form 10-K for 2006. There have been no material changes to our critical
accounting policies described in such Form 10-K.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation Number 48 (FIN
48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48
is effective beginning with our 2007 fiscal year. FIN 48 clarifies accounting for uncertain tax
positions utilizing a more likely than not recognition threshold for tax positions. Under FIN 48,
we will initially recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more
likely than not, based on the technical merits of the tax position, that such a position will be
sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities. If the tax benefit meets the more
likely than not threshold, the measurement of the tax benefit will be based on our best estimate
of the ultimate tax benefit that will be sustained if audited by the taxing authority. The
adoption of FIN 48 had no significant impact on our results of operations or balance sheet for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 10-Q, including Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2, and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk in Item 3, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, we, or persons acting on our behalf, may from time to time
publish or communicate other items that could also constitute forward-looking statements. Such
statements are or will be based on our estimates, assumptions, and projections, and are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those
specifically listed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. We do
not undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or
circumstances. The risk factors discussed in Risk Factors in Item 1A of our 2006 Form 10-K could
materially affect our operating results or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our debt obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are currently subject to variable
rates of interest based on both U.S. and UK LIBOR. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying
interest rate would result in an additional annual interest cost of approximately $1.6 million,
assuming average related debt of $159.6 million, which was the amount of outstanding borrowings at
June 30, 2007.
Our obligations under industrial revenue bonds are subject to variable rates of interest based
on short-term tax-exempt rate indices. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying interest rates
would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $124,000, assuming average related
debt of $12.4 million, which was the amount of outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2007.
Our approach to managing interest rate risk includes balancing our borrowings between fixed
rate and variable rate debt. At June 30, 2007, we had $82.3 million of Senior Notes at a fixed
rate and $159.6 million of Term Loans at a variable rate.
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk with our factory-built housing operations in Canada
and our international segment in the UK. Our Canadian operations had net sales during the twelve
months ended June 30, 2007 totaling $Can 98 million. Assuming future annual Canadian sales equal
to sales made during the last twelve months, a change of 1.0% in exchange rates between U.S. and
Canadian dollars would change consolidated sales by approximately $1.0 million. Our international
segment had sales during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 totaling £86 million (pounds
Sterling). Assuming future annual UK sales equal to sales made during the last twelve months, a
change of 1.0% in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound Sterling would
change consolidated sales by approximately $0.9 million. Net income of the Canadian and UK
operations would also be affected by changes in exchange rates.
We borrowed £45 million in the U.S. to finance a portion of the Caledonian purchase price,
which totaled approximately £62 million. This Sterling denominated borrowing was designated as an
economic hedge of our net investment in the UK. Therefore a significant portion of foreign
exchange risk related to our Caledonian investment in the UK is offset. We do not attempt to
manage foreign exchange risk that relates to our investment in the Canadian operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the date of this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
cause material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2007, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting. We completed implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system for our manufacturing segment during the first quarter of 2007, except for the 2006
acquisitions. Caledonian implemented a new ERP and accounting system in the second quarter of
2007. Management does not currently believe that these system implementations will adversely
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
