PART I


ITEM 1: BUSINESS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: PROPOSED MERGER.

On December 4, 1996, Cavco Industries, Inc. ("Cavco" or the "Company")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among
Cavco, Centex Real Estate Corporation ("CREC"), MFH Holding Company, a Nevada
corporation (the "Holding Company"), MFH Acquisition Company, an Arizona
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company (the "Merger
Subsidiary") and certain shareholders of Cavco, Al R. Ghelfi, the Chairman of
Cavco, his spouse, Janet M. Ghelfi, and Janal Limited Partnership, an Arizona
limited partnership ("Janal") (the "Shareholder Parties"). The purpose of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is to effect the acquisition
by CREC, through its ownership of shares in the Holding Company, of
approximately 78% of the equity interest in Cavco, with the remaining
approximately 22% equity interest to be retained by the Shareholder Parties
through their ownership of shares in the Holding Company. If the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, all shares of Cavco Common
Stock held by shareholders of Cavco other than the Shareholder Parties, together
with 1,047,288 shares of Cavco Common Stock held by the Shareholder Parties,
will be converted into the right to receive $26.75 in cash (or in the case of
shareholders who exercise appraisal rights, the amount determined under
applicable law). Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Cavco common stock. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of
this Form 10-K for additional information concerning the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(a) GENERAL

Cavco is the largest manufacturer of residential and recreational
manufactured housing in Arizona. The Company began as an unincorporated
association in 1965, manufacturing truck campers under the name Roadrunner
Manufacturing Company. In 1966, the Company changed its name to Cavalier
Manufacturing Company and it incorporated in 1968. In 1974, the Company changed
its name to Cavco Industries, Inc.

In November 1986, the Company began manufacturing relocatable commercial
modular structures for sale or lease, marketed by a division of the Company
doing business as CVC Leasing ("CVC"). In August 1994, the Company sold the
relocatable commercial modular structures business of CVC and founded National
Security Containers, Inc. ("NSC") to market and lease security storage
containers and trailer vans. The Company owns 100% of NSC's stock.

In March 1987 the Company founded Action Healthcare Management Services,
Inc., ("Action," formerly known as Action Health Care, Inc.) to provide health
care utilization management and other health care services. The Company owned
approximately 93% of Action's stock. The Company sold the assets of Action on
September 30, 1996.

In December 1991, the Company founded Sun Built Homes, Inc., ("Sun Built")
to develop manufactured housing subdivisions and sell manufactured homes in
established subdivisions. The Company owns 100% of Sun Built's stock.

The Company's executive office is located at 1001 N. Central, 8th Floor,
Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Its telephone number is (602) 256-6263.

(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company operates principally in three industries: manufactured housing,
leasing, and real estate development. Information with respect to net sales,
operating profit (loss) and identifiable assets by industry segment is set forth
in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of this
Form 10-K.

(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

I. MANUFACTURED HOUSING

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is a manufacturer of quality residential and recreational
manufactured housing. Cavco's manufactured housing products are manufactured in
one of three facilities located in Arizona and transported in one or more
sections for installation utilizing their own chassis on either temporary or
permanent foundations. Although Cavco's manufactured housing products are
designed to be transportable, fewer than five percent are ever moved from their
original site after installation.

The Company is subject to the regulations of federal and state agencies
which dictate building codes for manufactured housing. In manufacturing its
homes, Cavco implements efficient assembly line techniques and uses materials
similar to those used in site-built homes. The Company purchases components from
outside sources, installs electrical, plumbing and heating systems and
fabricates sub-floors, walls and cabinets. Interior walls are constructed with a
drywall material and exterior walls from wood products, vinyl lap, aluminum or
anodized steel; roof construction utilizes asphalt shingles or galvanized steel.

Cavco's housing products are distributed under various trademarks, with
models available in a variety of floorplans ranging in size of approximately
399 square feet for a recreational/retirement park home to a range of 546
to 2,026 square feet for a residential home. A typical home includes a living
room, dining room, one or two baths and one or more bedrooms. The base price
of the Company's homes includes carpeting, major appliances, draperies and
forced air furnaces. The Company offers numerous options and customizes
models to meet the needs of different geographical areas. Retail prices of
the Company's homes range from $19,000 to $100,000. The average price of a
recreational/retirement park home is approximately $28,000, and the average
price of a residential home is approximately $40,000.

METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company sells its manufactured homes through a network of independent
dealers and generally does not sell products directly to the general public,
except for sales in certain subdivisions developed by the Company's Sun Built
subsidiary. See "Description of Business -- Real Estate Development." The retail
prices of the Company's manufactured homes are set by


3
4

individual dealers and not by the Company. Many of the Company's independent
dealers operate more than one retail outlet. The Company presently has
approximately 200 outlets in 10 states, Canada and Japan, of which there are
approximately 103 in Arizona, 27 in New Mexico, 20 in Colorado, 15 in Utah, 6 in
Texas, 4 each in Nevada and Washington, 3 in California, 2 in Idaho, 1 in
Oregon, 7 in Canada and 8 in Japan. Most of the Company's dealers sell competing
products, although from time to time the Company also may enter into exclusive
agreements with certain dealers.

The Company's dealers finance their purchase of manufactured homes through
floor plan financing arrangements with third-party lenders. Generally, the
Company receives a commitment from the dealer's lender for each order, which is
earmarked for the home ordered, identified by its serial number. The Company
then manufactures the home and ships it to the dealer. The dealer is responsible
for all shipping costs. Payment is due from the third party floor plan lender
upon the dealer's notice of delivery and acceptance of the product. The length
of time it takes to manufacture and ship a home after an order is placed varies
according to the Company's backlog.

The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements
with the third party lenders that provide dealer floor plan financing
arrangements. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide
for the repurchase of the manufacturer's products in the event the dealer
defaults on payments. The risk of loss is spread over numerous dealers and
financing institutions and is further offset by the resale value of repurchased
units. The Company has not incurred any significant losses from these
arrangements since its inception.

The Company extends a limited warranty to original retail purchasers of
manufactured housing products. The Company warrants structural components for 12
months and nonstructural components for 90 days. The Company's warranty does not
extend to installation, setup or appliances. Appliances are warranted by their
original manufacturer.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in purchasing its
raw materials or component parts. The Company buys wood, wood products,
aluminum, steel, tires, hardware, windows and doors from manufacturers and
distributors located primarily in California and Arizona. Approximately 39
percent of the unit cost of the Company's manufactured homes is attributable to
raw wood products. The majority of the other component parts of the Company's
homes are purchased manufactured components.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

The Company does not own any material patents, licenses, franchises,
trademarks or concessions in connection with its manufactured housing business.
The Company does not sell or grant franchises to its dealers.

SEASONALITY

The Company's manufactured housing business is not seasonal.

INVENTORY

The Company does not maintain a significant finished product inventory.

CUSTOMERS

The Company currently has approximately 200 independent dealer outlets. No
dealer exceeded 10% of the Company's sales volume for the year ended September
30, 1996. The Company does not believe that the loss of any dealer would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog of firm orders for manufactured homes as of September
30, 1996 was approximately $11,500,000 (710 floors) as compared with September
30, 1995, when the backlog was approximately $19,300,000. The Company currently
requires approximately six to eight weeks to fill an order. The Company
presently anticipates that the entire backlog at September 30, 1996 will be
filled during the 1997 fiscal year.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

None of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.

COMPETITION

The Company sells its manufactured housing products through independent
dealers located in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Texas,
Nevada, Washington, California, Idaho, Oregon, as well as Canada and Japan. The
Company estimates that there are approximately 7 other manufacturers competing
for a significant share of the Arizona market. The Company believes that its
business represents an approximate 31% share of the Arizona market and a small
share of the market in such other states. The largest competitors of the Company
are Fleetwood Enterprises, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., Schult Homes Corporation and
Champion Enterprises, Inc. Most of these competitors have manufacturing
facilities in Arizona and all have significantly greater financial,
manufacturing and marketing resources than Cavco. The Company believes that
competition in the manufactured housing industry is being affected by
consolidation and by increasing competition from geographically diversified
companies and vertically integrated competitors that combine manufacturing
operations with other complementary services and operations, such as a retail
sales network, mortgage financing, insurance and other services. The Company
believes the principal factors affecting competition in the manufactured housing
market are price, product quality and reliability, reputation and service.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the last two fiscal years, the amount the Company has spent on
research and development was immaterial.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

EMPLOYEES

The Company employs approximately 1,056 people in its manufacturing
segment. Of these, 93 are salaried managerial, office and clerical workers; 946
are hourly production workers, and 17 are commissioned salespeople.

6

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The Company does not have any foreign operations.

II. LEASING OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company sells and leases security storage containers ("containers") and
trailer vans ("vans") through its NSC subsidiary. The containers are used ocean
cargo containers, previously used for secure overseas shipment of packaged
goods. The Company purchases the containers from various vendors and refurbishes
them at its own fabricating facility or by using various outside contractors.
The Company patches, sands, repaints and installs its patented locking units on
the containers before transferring them to its leasing branch offices. The vans
are purchased from various transportation companies usually through brokers,
transported to the Company's leasing branches and refurbished at its own
facilities or using outside contractors. Generally, the vans leased by the
Company are used for ground transportation of goods.

METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION

NSC currently sells or leases containers and vans directly to customers
through nine offices located in Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Louisiana and
Tennessee. At the customer's request, NSC will contract or use its own equipment
to deliver the container or van to the customer's site. Pricing is dependent
upon competition and demand within each geographical area.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

NSC has not experienced, and does not anticipate, any significant
difficulty in purchasing containers or trailer vans in sufficient quantity to
supply its business.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

NSC owns a patent on a single lever locking system designed to secure its
containers. The patent expires in June 2014.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

None of NSC's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.

COMPETITION

Competition in the container and van leasing business in the Company's
markets consists primarily of privately owned companies that concentrate on
container sales. The Company believes that the principal factors affecting
competition in the leasing business are price and service.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the year, the amount NSC has spent on research and development was
immaterial.

CUSTOMERS; SEASONALITY

NSC sells or leases containers and vans directly to any business with a
need for additional storage space. Typical customers include retail stores,
construction companies, and educational and government institutions. NSC
experiences seasonal upturns during holiday periods, when retailers require
storage space for extra merchandise. The terms of the leases generally range
from



6
7

one month to three years, with an average rental period of six months. The
Company believes that there is increasing demand throughout the business
community for secure storage due to increasing theft and vandalism. The business
of NSC is not dependent upon any one customer.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of NSC.

EMPLOYEES

NSC has approximately 71 employees. Of these, approximately 6 are
executives or managers, 10 are branch managers, 14 are sales representatives, 29
are hourly production and transportation workers, and 12 are office and clerical
workers.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

NSC does not have any foreign operations.


III. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company organized its Sun Built subsidiary in December 1991, to develop
manufactured housing subdivisions, purchase developed lots and to sell
manufactured homes in established subdivisions. The Company has generally sought
to acquire land with the intent to complete the sale of housing units within 36
to 60 months from the date of acquisition. Generally, this involves acquiring
land that is properly zoned and is either ready for development or already
developed. Homes sold by Sun Built are manufactured by the Company at the
Company's existing manufacturing plants. The average size of these homes ranges
from 576 to 1,800 square feet, with retail selling prices ranging from $30,200
to $86,800, excluding the land. Competition is intense in the residential
development market. Pricing is dependent upon competition and demand within each
geographical area.

METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION

Sun Built sells lots in its subdivisions and manufactured homes directly to
the consumer. Sun Built does not provide financing to its customers, but may
from time to time assist customers in obtaining third party lender financing.
Sun Built distributes its products through fully developed subdivisions in which
Sun Built either has an agreement to sell the homes or may have a percentage of
ownership.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

Sun Built has not experienced, and does not anticipate, any problems in
purchasing its manufactured homes, all of which are produced by the Company.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

Sun Built does not own any materially significant patents, licenses,
franchises, trademarks or concessions. Sun Built does not sell or grant
franchises.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

None of Sun Built's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government.

COMPETITION

Sun Built competes with a large number of firms, most of which have
substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than Sun
Built. To date, all of Sun Built's development and sale of lots and manufactured
homes has been made in Arizona. The residential housing industry is essentially
a local business and is intensely competitive. The industry is cyclical and is
affected by changes in local economic conditions, long-term and short-term
interest rates, federal mortgage financing programs and, to a lesser extent,
changes in property taxes and energy costs, federal income tax laws and various
demographic factors. The Company believes the main competitive factors affecting
Sun Built's operations are price, location, quality and design of homes,
availability and cost of land, development and product acquisition cost,
marketability and reputation.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the last fiscal year, the amount Sun Built has spent on research and
development was immaterial.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Sun Built.

EMPLOYEES

Sun Built has 2 employees: 1 project manager and 1 salesperson.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Sun Built does not have any foreign operations.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: PROPOSED MERGER

On December 4, 1996, Cavco entered into the Merger Agreement by and
among Cavco, CREC, the Holding Company, the Merger Subsidiary and the
Shareholder Parties. The Shareholder Parties are Al R. Ghelfi, the Chairman of
Cavco, his spouse, Janet M. Ghelfi and Janal, an Arizona limited partnership.
The general partners of Janal are trusts of which Al R. Ghelfi and Janet M.
Ghelfi are the sole trustees. Janal is the holder of 1,650,000 shares of Cavco
common stock, representing approximately 48.7% of the outstanding shares. Al R.
Ghelfi and Janet M. Ghelfi individually hold, as their community property, an
additional 180,729 shares of Cavco common stock, representing approximately
5.32% of the outstanding shares.

The purpose of the Merger Agreement is to effect the acquisition by
CREC, through its ownership of shares in the Holding Company, of approximately
78% of the equity interest in Cavco, with the remaining approximately 22% equity
interest to be retained by the Shareholder Parties through their ownership of
shares in the Holding Company. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement are consummated, all shares of Cavco Common Stock held by shareholders
of Cavco other than the Shareholder Parties, together with 1,047,288 shares of
Cavco Common Stock held by the Shareholder Parties, will be converted into the
right to receive $26.75 in cash (or in the case of shareholders who exercise
appraisal rights, the amount determined under applicable law), as more
particularly described below.

Consummation of the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement is
conditioned, among other things, upon the Merger Agreement being approved and
adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cavco Common
Stock, expiration of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act, absence of any injunction or certain other legal
matters restraining or prohibiting such transactions, the truth and accuracy of
certain representations and warranties, compliance with certain covenants
contained in the Merger Agreement and other usual and customary closing
conditions.

If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are
consummated, the Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Cavco (the
"Merger"), the Shareholder Parties will contribute 783,441 shares of Cavco
Common Stock to the Holding Company in exchange for Holding Company shares, and
all other shares of Cavco Common Stock (other than shares held by shareholders
who exercise appraisal rights under Arizona law) will be converted into the
right to receive $26.75 per share in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). In
exchange for Holding Company shares, CREC will contribute cash to the Holding
Company in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration and any amounts
payable to dissenting shareholders. Each Merger Subsidiary share that is
outstanding will be converted into the right to receive one share of common
stock in Cavco, as the surviving corporation, and the corporate existence of the
Merger Subsidiary will cease.

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, Cavco, as the surviving corporation, will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Holding Company. CREC will hold approximately 78% of the
common stock of the Holding Company, and the Shareholder Parties will hold the
remaining approximately 22% of such common stock. CREC, the Holding Company and
the Shareholder Parties have agreed to enter into a Shareholders'



14
15


Agreement upon consummation of the Merger, pursuant to which all of their shares
will be subject to certain transfer restrictions, and the shares held by the
Shareholder Parties will be subject to certain put options (beginning in 2000)
and certain call options (beginning in 2002) whereby CREC may acquire all of the
Shareholder Parties' interest in the Holding Company on the terms and conditions
set forth therein (the "Holding Company Shareholders' Agreement"). The Holding
Company Shareholders' Agreement also provides for certain rights of the
Shareholder Parties and CREC to designate directors, super-majority board
approval requirements for significant actions and transactions and agreements
relating to the payment of dividends. The descriptions set forth in this Report
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the proposed
Holding Company Shareholders' Agreement are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by
reference as an Exhibit to this Report, and to the Holding Company Shareholders'
Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be
terminated by the parties in certain circumstances, including by mutual consent,
or by either party in the event of (i) regulatory, governmental or judicial
actions restraining or prohibiting the transaction, (ii) failure to obtain the
required shareholder approval, (iii) a material violation or breach by the other
party of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger
Agreement, or (iv) failure to consummate the Merger by December 31, 1997. In
addition, either party may terminate the Merger Agreement in the event the Board
of Directors of Cavco shall have authorized Cavco to enter into an agreement
with a third party with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal meeting
certain conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, as summarized below.

Cavco has agreed that, upon execution of the Merger Agreement and until
the transactions contemplated thereby have been consummated (or until the Merger
Agreement is terminated), neither Cavco nor its representatives will initiate
any contact with, solicit, encourage or enter into or continue any discussions,
negotiations, understandings or agreements with any third parties with respect
to any other acquisition proposal or disclose any non-public information
regarding Cavco or any of its businesses to such third parties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the Board of Directors of Cavco (or a
committee thereof) reasonably determines based on the advice of its counsel that
it is required to do so by virtue of its fiduciary obligations under applicable
law, the Company may furnish and discuss non-public information concerning Cavco
or its businesses in response to unsolicited requests therefor and may
participate in discussions and negotiations and enter into agreements regarding
an alternative transaction, provided certain conditions are met. In general,
Cavco may furnish and discuss such information with any third party the Board of
Directors reasonably determines is financially qualified to consummate a
proposed transaction and may enter into negotiations with such a third party if
(i) the consideration to be paid to the shareholders other than the Shareholder
Parties under the alternative transaction exceeds by at least $1,000,000 the
amount payable to such shareholders under the Merger Agreement; (ii) the
alternative transaction is not subject to any conditions or limitations which
make it not likely to be consummated; (iii) the terms and conditions of the
alternative transaction are no less favorable to such shareholders than the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iv) Cavco shall have timely
notified CREC of the alternative transaction and (v) CREC shall not have
delivered to Cavco a counteroffer topping such alternative transaction by at
least $1,000,000 in consideration to the shareholders other than the Shareholder
Parties (a "Topping Offer"). In general, Cavco may enter into an agreement with
a third party with respect to such transaction if (i) the foregoing



15
16


conditions are met, (ii) the third party offer has not been materially and
adversely modified, (iii) at least ten days shall have passed since CREC was
notified, and CREC shall not have responded with a Topping Offer and (iv) Cavco
has paid to CREC certain termination fees and expenses described below.

The Merger Agreement provides for payment to CREC by Cavco of a
termination fee of $2,500,000 and reimbursement of certain expenses in an amount
up to $300,000 in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated by Cavco in
order to accept an alternative proposal from a third party as described above,
or if the Merger Agreement is terminated for any other reason, other than (i) by
mutual consent; (ii) certain governmental actions restraining or prohibiting the
transaction; (iii) because the Merger has not been consummated by December 31,
1997 and CREC elects to terminate; or (iv) because Cavco and the Shareholder
Parties have elected to terminate due to a material violation or breach by CREC.
The Merger Agreement also provides for the payment to Cavco by CREC of a
termination fee and reimbursement of expenses, in the same amounts, in the event
that the Merger Agreement is terminated because (i) the Merger has not been
consummated by December 31, 1997 and CREC elects to terminate, or (ii) Cavco and
the Shareholder Parties elect to terminate due to a material violation or breach
by CREC.

The foregoing descriptions of certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement,
a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference as an Exhibit to this
Report.

As stated above, one of the conditions for consummation of the
transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement is the approval of the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares of Cavco common stock. On December 4, 1996,
the Shareholder Parties entered into a Voting Agreement with CREC, whereby the
Shareholder Parties agreed to vote all 1,830,729 shares of Cavco common stock
owned by them (representing approximately 54% of the total shares presently
outstanding) in favor of the Merger Agreement and against any inconsistent
transactions. In addition, the Shareholder Parties have agreed to restrict their
ability to sell or transfer any such shares or to grant any proxies or to enter
into any other voting arrangements with respect to such shares. The descriptions
set forth in this Report of the terms of the Voting Agreement are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is
incorporated herein by reference as an Exhibit to this Report.

Also on December 4, 1996, the Shareholder Parties entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement with CREC, whereby the parties have agreed that in the event
the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason other than (i) by mutual
consent, (ii) because the Merger has not been consummated by December 31, 1997
and CREC elects to terminate, or (iii) because of a material violation or breach
by CREC, the Shareholder Parties will sell to CREC, and CREC will purchase from
the Shareholder Parties, an aggregate of 1,047,288 shares of Cavco Common Stock
(representing approximately 31% of the total shares presently outstanding) (the
"Subject Share Purchase"). If the transactions contemplated by the Stock
Purchase Agreement are consummated, the Shareholder Parties and CREC have agreed
to enter into a Shareholders' Agreement with regard to their shares of Cavco
Common Stock (the "Cavco Shareholders' Agreement") and to use their best efforts
to cause the Company to become a party thereto. The Cavco Shareholders'
Agreement provides for certain transfer restrictions on the Cavco Common Stock
held by CREC and the Shareholder Parties and provides that such shares will be
subject to certain put options (beginning in 2000) and certain call options
(beginning in 2002) whereby CREC may acquire all of the Shareholder Parties'
Cavco common stock on the terms and


16
17


conditions set forth therein. The Cavco Shareholders' Agreement also provides
certain agreements among the Shareholder Parties and CREC with respect to the
election of directors, super-majority board approval requirements for
significant actions and transactions and agreements relating to the payment of
dividends. The descriptions set forth in this Report of the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement and the proposed Cavco Shareholders' Agreement are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which
is incorporated herein by reference as an Exhibit to this Report and to the
Cavco Shareholders' Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B to the
Stock Purchase Agreement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company ended fiscal 1996 with working capital of $9,381,984 compared
to $8,168,792 at the end of fiscal 1995. The Company's cash position improved as
a result of cash generated from operations and the receipt of proceeds from its
long term funding source for additions to NSC's lease fleet.

Uses of cash 1996 included capital expenditures of $13.8 million, increases
in notes receivable of $.4 million and additions to investments in partnerships
of $.1 million. The Company increased its NSC lease fleet by $11.8 million and
spent $2 million on property, plant and equipment additions. Property, plant and
equipment additions include $590,000 spent on land and a building for NSC's El
Paso location. Another $210,000 was used to purchase delivery vehicles for NSC.
The Company also spent approximately $520,000 on various computer programs,
network and communication systems.

The Company has a $4 million revolving bank line of credit that may be used
from time to time to fund working capital needs. The Company borrowed and repaid
$800,000 on this line during the year. Available borrowings are subject to a
borrowing base formula based on inventories and accounts receivable. The Company
had no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at the end of fiscal 1996.
Sun Built has a $1,400,000 line of credit that is used to finance purchases of
manufactured homes for its subdivisions. Repayments are made from proceeds on
the sales of the homes. During fiscal 1996, Sun Built borrowed $1,977,776 and
repaid $2,296,958 on its line of credit and approximately $700,000 remained
available for borrowing at the end of fiscal 1996. NSC has a $15 million line of
credit arrangement to support its lease fleet expansion. The lending institution
advanced $7,000,000 during 1996. The Company repaid $2,333,323 on this line
during 1996. The remaining $1,036,216 of long term debt repayments in fiscal
1996 were for mortgages and other loans of the Company. The Company received
$1.2 million of proceeds from the sale of lease fleet units and $1.7 million of
proceeds from collections on notes receivable in the normal course of its
business during fiscal 1996.

The Company plans capital expenditures in fiscal 1997 of approximately $4.8
million budgeted for construction of a new manufacturing facility in Belen, New
Mexico, to be financed in part through industrial revenue bond financing
currently under negotiation. The Company also plans to invest up to $500,000 in
fiscal 1997 for computer software and system hardware upgrades. The Company
believes that its existing cash, available borrowings, lines of credit, and cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet capital expenditure, debt
service and other liquidity requirements for the next fiscal year.

18

During the past three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company's operations. The Company has demonstrated its ability to adjust the
manufacturing costs of its products through engineering changes and effective
price negotiations, and has been able to adjust the selling price of its
products in response to changing costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995

Sales for fiscal 1996 were $130,105,136, an increase of $17,423,004 or
15.5% over the $112,682,132 reported for 1995. Manufacturing operations
accounted for $11.3 million of the increase primarily as a result increased
capacity due to plant expansion, improved productivity and improved market
conditions. The leasing subsidiary contributed $3.3 million of the increase, as
a result of expanding its lease fleet and adding 4 new branch locations. The
real estate development subsidiary provided $2.8 million of the increase, as a
result of completion of development activity, increased sales at its
subdivisions and the sale of 50 homes to a customer in December 1995.

Gross profit margins increased to 21.0% compared to 18.8 percent in 1995.
Margins in the manufacturing operations increased to 19.2% in 1996 from 17.4% in
1995. Improved efficiencies and higher sales volumes lended to this increase. In
addition, prior year margins were unfavorably affected by a low margin
manufactured home model offered in the spring of 1995. The leasing operations
achieved a 50.1% gross margin in fiscal 1996, compared to 51.4% in fiscal 1995.
The real estate development operations had a gross margin of 15.4% in fiscal
1996, compared to 14.4% in fiscal 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased overall by
$2,298,858, or 18%, in fiscal 1996. Approximately $1.4 million of the increase
is attributable to the leasing operations, due to increases in wages, rent and
other office costs as the subsidiary continues to develop its corporate office
and open additional branch locations. Selling, general and administrative
expense increases of $720,965, in the manufactured housing segment resulted
primarily from increased employee bonuses, which are based on the pre-tax
operating profits of the Company. The $594,502 increase in interest expense in
fiscal 1996 reflects increased finance costs incurred for expansion of the lease
fleet.

In fiscal 1996, net income was $6,237,461 or $1.84 per share, compared to
$4,237,651 or $1.25 per share in fiscal 1995, an increase of approximately 47%.
The increase in net income was a result of improved sales and gross margins and
increased efficiencies. Income from continuing operations in fiscal 1996 was
$6,932,958 or $2.05 per share, an approximately 49% increase of $2,289,296 or
$.68 per share, over the $4,643,662, or $1.37 per share, reported in fiscal
1995. Losses from discontinued operations in fiscal 1996 totaled $695,497
($339,942 from Action, $355,555 from CVC), compared to $406,011 in 1995
($110,130 from Action, $295,881 from CVC).

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994

Sales for fiscal 1995 were $112,682,132, an increase of $22,086,094, or
24.4% sales of $90,596,038 in fiscal 1994. The leasing subsidiary provided
approximately $5,000,000 in sales, or 23% of the increase. The manufactured
housing operations accounted for the remaining


18
19


increase. Plant expansions and upgrades to machinery allowed production levels
to increase at all facilities. The new manufacturing facility added in May 1993
had the most significant favorable impact.

Gross profit margins increased to 18.8% in fiscal 1995, compared to 18.1%
in fiscal 1994. Margins in the manufactured housing operations decreased from
18.2% in fiscal 1994 to 17.4% in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the Company's
offering of a series of low cost, low margin special floor plans in the spring.
The decrease in manufacturing margins was more than offset in fiscal 1995 by the
achievement of a 51.4% gross profit margin in the leasing operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased overall by
$3,064,564, or 31%, in fiscal 1995. Most of the increase was due to expansion of
the leasing operations in fiscal 1995. The $542,237 increase in interest expense
reflects increased finance costs incurred from the Company's use of its lines of
credit.

In fiscal 1995, net income was $4,237,651 or $1.25 per share, compared to
$6,605,678 or $1.95 per share in fiscal 1994, a decrease of approximately 36%.
The decrease in net income was a result of the gain from the sale of
discontinued leasing operations in fiscal 1994. Income from continuing
operations in fiscal 1995 was $4,643,662 or $1.37 per share, an approximately
19% increase of $746,470 or $.22 per share, over the $3,897,192, or $1.15 per
share, reported in fiscal 1994. Income from discontinued operations and from the
gain on the sale of discontinued leasing operations in fiscal 1994 was $436,167
and $2,272,319, respectively, compared to a loss from discontinued operations in
1995 of $406,011.

CAVCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Cavco Industries, Inc.
(the Company) for 1996, 1995 and 1994 include the accounts of
Cavco Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sun
Built Homes, Inc. (Sun Built) and National Security Containers,
Inc. (NSC). In July, 1996 the Company formed a new subsidiary,
Cavco Industries of New Mexico, Inc. The Company is building a
manufacturing facility, which is scheduled to begin production in
fiscal 1997. All material intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation.

(b) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net
realizable value). Cost is determined by using standard cost
(which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis)
for finished goods and work-in process and actual cost on a
first-in, first-out basis for raw materials.

(c) Product Warranty

The Company's products carry a one-year warranty on structural
components to the original retail customer. The Company also
warrants certain nonstructural components for 90 days. The
warranty covers defective materials and workmanship. The Company's
experience allows it to reasonably estimate the amount of warranty
expense expected to be incurred for products sold. Warranty
expense for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$2,017,788, $1,946,297 and $1,664,204, respectively.

(d) Real Estate Held for Sale

Real estate held for sale consists primarily of land purchased by
Sun Built and homes manufactured by the Company for sale in
residential subdivisions. Sun Built capitalizes certain interest
costs incurred with developing the land, and such interest will be
included in cost of sales as property is sold to the buyer. The
amount of interest capitalized during the years ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 was $56,997 and $127,732, respectively.

In most cases, the customer obtains financing from an outside
source and pays cash for the purchase. In accordance with rules
established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66
(Accounting for Sales of Real Estate), revenues are recognized
upon close of sale, when the property has transferred to the
buyer.

(e) Investment in Partnerships

In November, 1992, the Company formed PDG/Prescott Development
Group, L.L.C., a limited liability company, with another company
for the purpose of developing a manufactured housing subdivision.
The Company is a 50% partner in the LLC and accounts for its
investment on the equity method. The Company's investment in the
LLC was $2,370,461 and $2,275,313 at September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Investment in Partnerships (continued)

In August, 1994, Sun Built formed Rural Southwest, L.L.C., a
limited liability company, with another company. Sun Built is a
50% owner in a LLC formed in August, 1994, to develop a
manufactured housing subdivision. Sun Built accounts for its
investment on the equity method. Its investment was $273,614 and
$259,390 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(f) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment of product.
Revenue from services is recognized when services are performed.
Lease income is recognized over the terms of the leases.

(g) Statement of Cash Flows

For purpose of these statements, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand and cash in short-term investments with original
maturities of less than three months (primarily money market
funds). Information that does not result in cash receipts or cash
payments in the period, but which affects the financing and
investing activities of the Company is included in supplemental
disclosures as follows.

Supplemental Disclosures of Non-cash Investing and Financing
Activities:

In 1996, the Company sold $1,238,182 of lease assets for notes
receivable. The Company purchased $122,000 of real estate held for
sale, financed by long term debt. Also in 1996, the Company sold
the majority of the assets of its Action subsidiary and received
a $442,000 note.

In 1995, the Company sold $523,276 of lease assets for notes
receivable. The Company purchased $541,600 of real estate held for
sale, financed by long term debt. Inventory held for sale or lease
of $2,207,197 was transferred into assets under lease.

In 1994, the Company sold $1,015,133 of lease assets for notes
receivable. The Company purchased $470,118 of lease assets
financed by notes payable. The Company purchased $818,784 of real
estate held for sale, assuming $414,384 in notes payable and
financing $404,400 by long term debt. Also in 1994, the Company
sold its CVC Leasing division. See Note 13 for detail of non-cash
items.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Depreciation of Assets Under Lease

During 1996 the Company completed a review of its depreciation
estimates for assets under lease. The Company determined that the
actual lives of the assets were generally longer than the useful
lives used for depreciation purposes. The Company also recognized
that the assets retained a salvage value. Therefore, the Company
extended the estimated useful lives of the assets under lease and
incorporated a salvage value. The effect of this change in
estimate reduced depreciation expense for the year ended September
30, 1996 by $531,366 and increased net income from continuing
operations by approximately $318,800, or $.09 per share.

(i) Accounting Statements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of," which the Company will be required to implement
effective for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. SFAS No.
121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of
the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) from an asset to be held and used is less than the
carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss must be recognized
in the amount of the difference between the carrying value and
fair value. Assets to be disposed of must be valued at the lower
of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Management of
the Company believes that if SFAS No. 121 were implemented
currently, no material impairment loss would be recognized.

(j) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the three years in the
period ended September 30, 1996. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

(j) Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Accounts and Notes Receivable

Notes receivable include amounts due under finance leases ($1,780,686 and
$1,633,607 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively) and amounts due
from sales of real estate held for sale ($200,000 and $16,610 at September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively). The finance leases are secured by the
related assets under lease, and the notes on real estate sales are secured
by deeds of trust. Also included in notes receivable is the balance on a
line of credit extended to a dealer ($38,240 and $23,500 at September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively) and the $110,000 net book value of a note
receivable ($442,000 less a reserve of $332,000) related to the sale of
Action in 1996.

The Company's customer base is widely dispersed geographically. No single
customer accounts for over 10% of the receivables balance at September 30,
1996.

(3) Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives or the terms of the respective leases, whichever is shorter.
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. A summary of
property, plant and equipment, at cost, follows:

(4) Notes Payable

The Company has a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank, with an
interest rate of prime plus 1/2%, expiring on January 31, 1997. This line of
credit is secured by the Company's inventories and accounts receivable.

Sun Built has a $1,400,000 line of credit with a financial institution, with
an interest rate of prime plus 1%, expiring in January 1997. This line of
credit is secured by certain real estate held for sale.

(7) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company's profit sharing plan is a defined contribution plan which
covers all employees. After two years of service have been completed,
employees begin participation on the first day of the sixth month or the
first day of the plan year, whichever is earlier. Participants are 100%
vested immediately upon entry into the Plan. The Plan was designed to comply
with the requirements of ERISA. Contributions to the Plan are determined
annually by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $100,000 and
$200,000 to the Plan for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. There was no contribution to the Plan for the year ended
September 30, 1996.

The Company adopted a 401(k) plan in January, 1995. All employees are
eligible to participate after completing four months of service, and may
begin participation on the following January 1 or July 1, whichever is
earlier. Participants may defer and contribute up to 15% of annual
compensation (subject to limits set by the Internal Revenue Service) to the
401(k) plan. The Company matches 25% of the employee's contribution, up to

(8) Stockholders' Equity

The number of shares used in computing earnings per common share was

reflects a three-for-two stock split effective December, 1994. Fully diluted
earnings per share are the same as primary earnings per share.

In August 1995, the Company entered into a qualified stock option purchase
agreement with an employee. The agreement allows the employee to purchase up
to 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10 per share (fair market
value at the date of the grant). The options vest at 10% per year, beginning

options and purchased 5000 shares for $50,000.

(9) Financing Arrangements and Commitments

The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements
covering dealer floor plan financing arrangements. These arrangements, which
are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold
to dealers in the event of default on payments by the dealer. The risk of
loss is spread over numerous dealers and financing institutions and is
further offset by the resale value of repurchased units. The Company has not
incurred any significant losses from these arrangements since inception.


During 1996 and 1995, the Company entered into financing arrangements
whereby certain dealers would be assisted in obtaining financing for
purchases of Cavco manufactured homes. The Company has guaranteed the
flooring lines extended to the dealers by the financing institutions. The
Company's maximum liability to financial institutions was $500,000 in 1996
and $6,500,000 in 1995.


The Company is the guarantor on a loan agreement which allowed PDG/Prescott
Development Group, L.L.C. formed in November, 1992 (see Note 1) to borrow
$3,750,000 from investors. The loan is paid out over five years, based on
scheduled sales of lots. The amount guaranteed by the Company has been
offset by proceeds received on the lot sales, leaving a balance of
$2,720,145 and $3,177,285 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(10) Leases

The Company occupies certain land and office buildings and uses certain
equipment under lease arrangements classified as operating leases. Real
estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are obligations of the
Company.

At September 30, 1996, future minimum lease payments due under
noncancellable operating leases, excluding executory costs, are as follows:

(13) Discontinued Operations

On August 1, 1994, the Company sold the relocatable mobile and modular
commercial structures and related buildings and equipment of its CVC
leasing division for $20.1 million, to an unrelated company. Approximately
$8.0 million was used to pay off notes payable associated with the assets
sold; a $1.2 million note receivable was due from the purchaser; net cash
proceeds totaled $10.9 million. The net value of assets sold, plus other
costs related to the sale, amounted to $16.4 million, resulting in a net
gain of $3.7 million.

Net income (loss) from CVC leasing operations is included in the
consolidated statements of income under "discontinued operations". Revenues
from such operations were $15,000 for 1996, $2,072,569 for 1995 and
$8,253,530 for 1994. Revenues in 1995 and 1996 were produced from the sales
of jobs that were in progress when the division was sold.

Assets and liabilities related to CVC remaining on the balance sheet as of
September 30, 1996 include trade accounts receivable ($280,322), balance
remaining from purchaser of CVC ($72,568) and rent due on CVC properties
($44,738). Assets and liabilities related to CVC remaining on the balance
sheet as of September 30, 1995 include trade accounts receivable
($378,406), balance remaining from purchaser of CVC ($509,369), and rent
due on CVC properties ($121,191).

On September 30, 1996, the Company sold the accounts receivable, related
service contracts and office equipment of its subsidiary, Action Healthcare
Management Systems, Inc. (Action), to an unrelated company for $442,000.
The net value of assets sold, plus other costs related to the sale,
amounted to $538,240, resulting in a pretax loss of $96,240. The purchaser
issued a $442,000 note to the Company, to be paid over 10 years, at an
interest rate of 8%, balance due and payable in March 2005.

Net income (loss) from Action is included in the consolidated statements of
income under "discontinued operations". Revenues from Action were $576,991
for 1996, $1,026,230 for 1995 and $1,465,525 for 1994. Other than the
$442,000 note receivable from the purchaser, there are no material assets
or liabilities related to Action remaining on the balance sheet as of
September 30, 1996.

(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other payables approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Notes payable bear
interest at market rates, therefore the carrying amounts of the outstanding
borrowings approximate fair value.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instruments. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and judgment
and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect these estimates.

(15) Supplemental Financial Data (unaudited)

Selected quarterly financial data for the years ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 is set forth below. Earnings per share were adjusted to reflect
the three-for-two stock split effective December 1994. Amounts differ from
amounts previously reported on the Company's Form 10-Q Reports due to
reclassification of discontinued operations of the Company's Action
subsidiary.

Wendell Hargis 50,000(1) 100% $10.00 08/18/05 $314,448 $796,873



- --------------------

(1) The options granted are incentive stock options issued in fiscal 1995,
effective as of August 18, 1995 under the Company's 1985 Incentive Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan"). Ten percent of these options become exercisable on August 18
in each year, beginning August 18, 1996. Under the Plan, the Company has the
right to accelerate the vesting of these options in connection with certain
mergers and other transactions, including but not limited to the Merger, in
which case the options are cancelled if not exercised within 30 days. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Recent Developments: Proposed Merger."

(2) The exercise price per share was equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.

(3) Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the
respective options if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains are
based on assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually
from the date the respective options were granted to their expiration date and
are not presented to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in the price
of the Common Stock. The gains shown are net of the option exercise price, but
do not include deductions for taxes or other expenses associated with the
exercise of the options or the sale of the underlying shares. The actual gains,
if any, on the stock option exercise will depend on the future performance of
the Common Stock, the optionee's continued employment through applicable vesting
periods and the date on which the options are exercised.

(1) The "Value Realized" reflects the appreciation on the date of exercise,
based on the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of
exercise over the exercise price. These amounts do not necessarily reflect cash
realized upon the sale of those shares, as an executive officer may keep the
shares exercised, or sell them at a different time and price.

(2) The "Value" set forth in this column is based on the difference between the
fair market value at September 30, 1996 ($19.50 per share bid price as reported
by the National Association of Securities Dealers) and the option exercise
price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option.
