Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Cavco Industries, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Cavco”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these statements include all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of the filing of this report with the SEC; other than the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest discussed in Note 19, there were no disclosable subsequent events. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on June 11, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results or cash flows for the full year. The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to March 31 of each year. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an occasional fourth quarter extending to 14 weeks, if necessary, for the fiscal year to end on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year will end on March 29, 2014. The Company operates principally in two segments: (1) factory-built housing, which includes wholesale and retail systems-built housing operations, and (2) financial services, which includes manufactured housing related consumer finance and insurance. Including the operating production facilities purchased in the Fleetwood and Palm Harbor transactions, the Company builds a wide variety of affordable modular homes, manufactured homes and park model seasonal homes in 15 factories located throughout the United States, primarily distributed through a network of independent and company-owned retailers. The Company operates 50 company-owned retail stores in the United States. The Company's mortgage subsidiary (“CountryPlace”) is an approved Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae seller/servicer and offers conforming mortgages to purchasers of factory-built and site-built homes. Palm Harbor’s insurance subsidiary (“Standard”) provides property and casualty insurance to owners of manufactured homes. Through our Fleetwood Homes, Inc. (“Fleetwood”) subsidiary, which was jointly owned by the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, “Third Avenue” see Note 20), certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities were acquired on August 17, 2009 (the “Fleetwood Acquisition Date”). During fiscal year 2012, Fleetwood, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Palm Harbor”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed specified liabilities of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries. Financial information for Fleetwood has historically been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). Management has determined that, under GAAP, when Fleetwood was only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. The primary factors that contributed to this determination were Cavco’s management and board control of Fleetwood wherein members of Cavco’s management held all of the seats on the board of directors of Fleetwood. In addition, as part of a management services agreement among Cavco, Fleetwood and Third Avenue, Cavco provided all executive-level management services to Fleetwood including, among other things, general management oversight, marketing and customer relations, accounting and cash management. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood is reported as a “redeemable noncontrolling interest” in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 19). As discussed in Note 19, subsequent to the end of the first fiscal quarter, the Company acquired Third Avenue’s interest in Fleetwood. After the transaction closed on July 22, 2013, Fleetwood and its subsidiaries were wholly-owned by the Company and Third Avenue no longer has a noncontrolling interest in Fleetwood. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. In this update, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then no further action is required. The Company adopted this guidance commencing with its annual assessment at March 30, 2013.
