Exhibit 99.1

 

This presentation may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or
synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets
for the Company’s common stock and other matters. Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts are
“forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933.  

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, revenues,
expenses and income, whenever they occur in this presentation, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of
our senior management at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company does
not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the
forward-looking statements are made.  You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various
important factors as identified in this presentation and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in our
subsequent filings with the SEC.  

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and
events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to the
matters identified in this presentation, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of
raw materials (particularly steel and related components, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin), availability of credit for
financing the retail and wholesale  purchase of manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, availability and costs of
labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed manufactured homes and RVs, the disposition
into the market by FEMA, by sale or otherwise, of RVs or manufactured homes purchased by FEMA in connection with
natural disasters, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, continuing sales declines in the RV or
manufactured housing industries, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of RVs
and manufactured homes, retention of significant customers, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the outcome of
litigation, and adverse weather conditions impacting retail sales. In addition, national and regional economic conditions
and consumer confidence may continue to affect the retail sale of recreational vehicles and manufactured homes.

Manufactured Housing (MH) Market

Cost per sq. ft. is $41 for MH vs.

$93 for site-built homes

Average retail price of

$65,100 for a 1,595 sq. ft. MH

9 million manufactured

homes across the U.S.

Improved quality,

appearance and safety

Studies have shown that MHs built since 1995 sustain

no more damage in hurricanes than site-built homes

Industry production was down 78% from 1998 to 2008.

- 20 -

 

MH: Other Favorable Factors

Demand for quality, affordable housing is likely
to increase

Baby Boomers retiring in increasing numbers

Dealer and manufacturer inventory levels are
reasonable

Favorable HUD code revisions

- 21 -

 

MH: Industry Financing Trends

- 22 -

The American Recovery Act of 2009 authorizes a
tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first time
home buyers

Recently passed legislation increased FHA insured
chattel loan limits (home only) on manufactured
homes from $48,600 to $69,678  

Pressure on Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac to support
MH loans

Conventional financing more common than
chattel; improves collateral

Subprime market woes could help MH
