3) Change in Estimate of Insurance Reserves In July 1997, the Company recorded a $19.3 million change in estimate in its products liability reserves and concurrently paid a $3.1 million premium to an outside insurance company to lower its self-insured retention (i.e.,deductible) on its products liability insurance. The net effect of these transactions was an addition to operating income of $16.2 million ($10.4 million after tax or 28 cents per share). FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Amounts in thousands) The following is an analysis of changes in key items included in the consolidated statements of income for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended October 26, 1997.

Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year Net income for the quarter ended October 26, 1997 increased nine percent to a record $28.1 million or 77 cents per share compared to $25.8 million or 68 cents per share in last year's similar period. A rebound in profitability for the manufactured housing and supply groups stimulated the second quarter earnings gain, which was partially offset by lower recreational vehicle earnings. Total revenues rose three percent to a record $769.1 million in the second quarter, up from $748.8 million a year ago, largely due to higher recreational vehicle sales. Recreational vehicle revenues reached $366.6 million, five percent ahead of last year's $348.8 million. Motor home revenues of $215.2 million were almost unchanged from last year's second quarter, despite an 11 percent decline in unit volume to 3,144 motor homes. Towable RV products did considerably better as both travel trailers and folding trailers produced sales gains. Travel trailer revenues were up 11 percent to $122.7 million as unit volume rose five percent to 8,319. Folding trailer sales jumped 31 percent to $28.7 million on a 15 percent gain in shipments to 5,472 units. Recreational vehicle sales accounted for 48 percent of total Company revenues, up from 47 percent last year. Manufactured housing revenues for the second quarter were a record $390.7 million, up about one percent from last year's comparable period. A total of 17,248 homes were sold in the quarter, three percent below last year's similar period, but the number of floors shipped were two percent higher due to a heavier mix of multi-section homes. Housing group sales represented 51 percent of total Company revenues which was unchanged from last year's second quarter. Fleetwood's supply operations contributed second quarter revenues of $11.8 million compared to last year's $14.4 million. Gross profit rose as a percentage of sales from 18.9 percent to 19.7 percent, as improved manufactured housing margins more than offset lower RV margins. Operating expenses increased six percent to $106.7 million, and rose as a percentage of sales from 13.4 percent to 13.9 percent. Selling expenses climbed 12 percent to $50.0 million primarily reflecting higher sales promotion and advertising costs. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses rose from 5.9 percent to 6.5 percent. General and administrative expenses increased one percent to $56.7 million, but declined as a percentage of sales from 7.5 percent to 7.4 percent. The dollar increase was primarily a result of higher management incentive compensation, which is directly related to improved profits. The effective tax rate decreased from 39.2 percent to 38.7 percent primarily because of reduced state income tax accruals. Current Year-To-Date Compared to Same Period Last Year Earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 1998 rose seven percent to $59.1 million or $1.61 per share versus $55.1 million and $1.32 per share for last year's first half. Earnings per share increased an even greater 22 percent due to fewer outstanding shares stemming from large share repurchases last year. The current year earnings improvement resulted from a gain of $10.4 million or 28 cents per share from a non-recurring insurance transaction as explained in a following paragraph (see Change in Estimate of Insurance Reserves). Last year's first half included income from discontinued operations of $34.8 million or 83 cents per share which, when added to income from continuing operations, resulted in total earnings of $89.9 million or $2.15 per share. The income from discontinued operations reflected an after-tax gain of $33.9 million or 81 cents per share from the sale of the Company's RV finance subsidiary. Six-month RV revenues totaled $717.3 million, a two percent gain over last year's first half. This improvement resulted from a six percent increase in travel trailer sales and a strong 35 percent gain in folding trailer volume. Travel trailer sales totaled $242.0 million and folding trailers reached a record volume of $52.7 million. Travel trailer shipments were up one percent to 16,873 units and folding trailer unit volume rose 23 percent to 10,192 units. The motor home division recorded first half revenues of $422.7 million, off four percent from last year's record pace, while shipments dropped 16 percent to 6,461 units. This reflects a shift in product mix toward higher-priced and more fully-featured Class A motor homes. RV revenues, as a percentage of total Company revenues, increased from 47 percent a year ago to 48 percent in the current year. For the first six months of fiscal 1998, housing revenues eased one percent to $757.3 million on a five percent drop in shipments to 33,607 homes. A shift to higher-priced multi-section homes resulted in a one percent increase in floor shipments. Housing revenues remained unchanged from last year at 51 percent of total Company revenues. For the six months, supply operations generated revenues of $22.9 million versus $30.7 million in last year's first half. Gross profit margin for the first half of fiscal 1998 declined from 19.2 percent to 19.0 percent. Both housing and recreational vehicle groups experienced higher direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs that more than offset material cost reductions. Operating expenses, which included the effect of the change in estimate of insurance reserves, fell five percent to $191.3 million, and also decreased as a percentage of sales from 13.5 percent to 12.8 percent. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were up from 5.8 percent a year ago to 6.5 percent, while general and administrative expenses fell from 7.6 percent to 6.3 percent this year. Selling expenses increased 11 percent to $97.0 million primarily due to higher promotional and advertising costs and product warranty and service expenses. General and administrative expenses declined 17 percent to $94.4 million reflecting the aforementioned insurance adjustment and slightly reduced management incentive compensation for the first half of fiscal 1998. Non-operating income of $2.7 million was off 50 percent on lower investment income. Investment income was down 39 percent to $4.9 million, reflecting higher cash balances available for investment last year primarily as a result of the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp. The effective tax rate for the current year was 38.6 percent compared to 39.4 percent last year, largely reflecting reduced state income tax accruals. Change in Estimate of Insurance Reserves The Company self insures its primary layer of products liability risk. Products liability reserves are based upon claims projections from an independent actuarial study. There can be significant variability in claims experience from year to year, and there is typically a long loss development period for products cases. Accordingly, actuarial projections are updated annually to reflect current loss development trends, which results in frequent adjustments to reserves for prior years' cases. Because of the variability and long loss development of products liability claims, the Company actuary has consistently followed conservative reserving practices. In July 1997, after several years of favorable claims experience, the Company was able to lower its self-insured retention (i.e., deductible) from $47.5 million to $18.7 million (of which losses of $9.3 million have been paid) for a five-year underwriting period between 1991 and 1995 by entering into a commercial insurance contract. Prior to entering into the insurance contract, the Company carefully reviewed the economics of the transaction and its implications as to current reserve levels. The Company concluded that, based upon recent favorable loss development trends (a factor that was clearly confirmed by the proposed insurance arrangement), a change in estimate of reserves was appropriate. The outcome was a $19.3 million adjustment to estimated reserves, offset by a $3.1 million premium for the outside insurance. This resulted in an addition to operating income of $16.2 million before taxes, and an increase to after-tax earnings of $10.4 million or 28 cents per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company generally relies upon internally generated cash flows to satisfy working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations improved to $92.2 million for the first half of fiscal 1998 compared to $53.4 million last year. This change primarily reflects a $30.3 million difference in the change in inventory levels, year over year. Last year's cash flows included $132.2 million, net of income taxes, received from the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp. These proceeds, along with the sale of investment securities, yielded net cash from investing activities of $295.0 million in last year's first half, most of which was used to make share repurchases. In the first six months of last year, the Company purchased approximately 23 percent of its outstanding Common stock at a cost of $311.7 million. Also, $25.0 million in long-term debt was retired last year. Cash outlays in the current year included $12.2 million in dividends to shareholders and $13.7 million for capital expenditures. This compares with $13.0 million and $22.3 million, respectively, last year. Millennium Computer Project The Company is dependent on a cluster of centralized computers to provide data in support of vital company-wide operational and accounting functions. Many of the computer routines used to generate this data were programmed in-house, following the common practice of using only two digits to designate a year. As a consequence, as we approach the year 2000, programs with date-related logic will not be able to distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000, potentially causing software and hardware to fail, generate erroneous calculations or present information in an unusable form. In recognition of this potential, the Company launched a "Year 2000" conversion project in February 1996 to correct and fully test all offending computer codes by mid-1998. At this date, the project is progressing as planned and is expected to be completed on schedule. Given these efforts, management does not anticipate any appreciable impact on Company operations consequent to the use of the Company's computer systems in the new millennium.
