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 29, 2007 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 29, 2007.
The Company operates in three segments. The North American manufacturing segment (the
manufacturing segment) consists of 26 manufacturing facilities as of June 28, 2008 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 five facilities
in the United Kingdom operated by Caledonian Building Systems Limited (Caledonian) and a
subsidiary, that manufacture steel-framed modular buildings for prisons, military accommodations,
hotels, residential units and other commercial applications. The retail segment currently operates
15 retail sales offices that sell manufactured houses to consumers throughout California.
NOTE 2 Acquisitions
The Company made one acquisition during 2007 and one acquisition during the first quarter of
2008. Results of operations for these acquisitions are included in the Companys consolidated
results for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.
On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of United Kingdom based
ModularUK Building Systems Limited (ModularUK) for a nominal initial cash payment and the
assumption of approximately $4.2 million of debt, resulting in intangible assets totaling
approximately $3.9 million. The results of operations of ModularUK are included in the Companys
results from operations and in its international segment for periods subsequent to its acquisition
date.
On December 21, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and the business of
western Canada-based SRI Homes Inc. (SRI) for cash payments of approximately $96.2 million, a
note payable of $24.0 million (CAD) ($24.5 million USD at acquisition date) and assumption of the
operating liabilities of the business. The results of operations of SRI are included in the
Companys results from operations and in its manufacturing segment for periods subsequent to its
acquisition date. The SRI purchase price allocation to amortizable intangible assets and goodwill
was finalized during the quarter ended June 28, 2008. The following is a summary of amortizable
intangible assets and goodwill arising from the SRI acquisition, together with amortization periods
and initial amortization expense, translated at the exchange rate on the acquisition date.

The proforma results include amortization of amortizable intangible assets acquired and valued
in the SRI acquisition. The proforma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would
have occurred if the SRI acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the period presented
nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results. For more detail on the SRI
acquisition, 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 29, 2007.
NOTE 3 Income Taxes
The primary difference between the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June
28, 2008 and the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate was due to the use of an annual estimated
effective global tax rate of 5.6% to provide income taxes, exclusive of discreet tax adjustments.
The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 28, 2008 also included a first quarter
adjustment for $0.6 million of tax expense from the excess of cumulative book expense over the tax
deduction amount related to the vesting of stock compensation during the quarter. The annual
estimated effective global tax rate was determined after consideration of the estimated annual
pretax results, estimated permanent differences and the statutory tax rates for the countries and
the various states and provinces in which the Company operates.
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.
As of December 29, 2007, the Company had available U.S. federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $233 million for tax purposes to offset certain future federal
taxable income. These loss carryforwards expire in 2023 through 2027. As of December 29, 2007, the
Company had available state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $211 million for tax
purposes to offset future state taxable income. These loss carryforwards expire in 2016 through
2027. Although the Company expects to generate sufficient U.S. pretax income in the future to
utilize available NOL carryforwards, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
Additionally, the current U.S. economy and housing market present significant challenges to
returning the Companys U.S. operations to profitability. In the event that additional U.S. pretax
losses or insufficient U.S. pretax income is incurred during the remainder of 2008, in the absence
of other favorable indicators, it is likely that the Company will have to provide a valuation
allowance for all or a portion of the U.S. deferred tax assets. The net U.S. deferred tax assets
subject to potential impairment totaled approximately $150 million at June 28, 2008.
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 sheet at June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007 are tax accruals of
approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, including
$0.2 million of accrued interest and penalties. Realization of any of the related unrecognized tax
benefits would affect the Companys effective tax rate. The Company classifies interest and
penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Other inventory consists of payments made by the retail segment for park spaces in
manufactured housing communities and related improvements.
Accounts receivable-trade at June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007 included uncollected billings
of $15.6 million and $22.4 million, respectively, and unbilled revenue of $40.2 million and $37.2
million, respectively, under long-term construction contracts of the Companys international
segment. Unbilled revenue at June 28, 2008 and December 29, 2007 includes retention amounts
totaling $7.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Other current liabilities at June 28, 2008
and December 29, 2007 include cash receipts in excess of revenue recognized under these
construction contacts of $19.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively and also includes customer
deposits of $6.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively, primarily in the manufacturing segment.
NOTE 5 Product Warranty
The Companys manufacturing segment generally provides the retail homebuyer or the
builder/developer with a twelve-month warranty from the date of purchase. Estimated warranty costs
are accrued as cost of sales primarily at the time of the manufacturing sale. Warranty provisions
and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims
for homes sold by the manufacturing operations as of the balance sheet date. The non-current
portion of warranty reserves were classified as other long-term liabilities in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the changes in accrued product
warranty obligations during the six months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

The Company issued $180 million of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the Convertible
Notes) on November 2, 2007. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1
and November 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes are convertible into approximately 47.7 shares
of the Companys common stock per $1,000 of principal. The conversion rate can exceed 47.7 shares
per $1,000 of principal when the closing price of the Companys common stock exceeds approximately
$20.97 per share for one or more days in the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on the
second trading day after the conversion date. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require the
Company to repurchase the Notes if the Company is involved in certain types of corporate
transactions or other events constituting a fundamental change and have the right to require the
Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes on November 1 of 2012, 2017, 2022, 2027 and
2032. The Company has the right to redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, for cash at
any time after October 31, 2012.
The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with various
financial institutions under which the
Sterling Term Loan and the Term Loan were issued. The Sterling Term Loan is denominated in pounds
Sterling. The Credit Agreement also provides the Company with a revolving line of credit in the
amount of $40 million, a $60 million letter of credit facility and the right from time to time to
borrow incremental uncommitted term loans of up to an additional $100 million, which may
Page 7 of 25
be denominated in U.S. Dollars or pounds Sterling. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first
security interest in substantially all of the assets of the domestic operating subsidiaries of the
Company. As of June 28, 2008, letters of credit issued under the facility totaled $55.7 million
and there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit. The maturity date for the
revolving line of credit is October 31, 2010. The maturity date for each of the Term Loan, the
Sterling Term Loan and the letter of credit facility is October 31, 2012.
The Credit Agreement requires principal payments for the Term Loan and the Sterling Term Loan
totaling approximately $1.1 million for 2008 and approximately $1.8 million annually thereafter.
The interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan is currently a LIBOR based rate (2.38% at June
28, 2008) plus 3.25%. The interest rate for borrowings under the Sterling Term Loan is currently a
U.K. LIBOR based rate (5.45% at June 28, 2008) plus 3.25%. The
letter of credit facility is subject to a 3.35% annual fee and the
unused portion of the line of credit facility is subject to an annual
fee ranging from
0.50% to 0.75%.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. The following table
summarizes the maximum Senior Leverage Ratio, minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and minimum Fixed
Charge Ratio that the Company is required to maintain under the Credit Agreement:

The Senior Leverage Ratio is the ratio of Total Senior 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. The Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of the Companys consolidated EBITDA to its
Cash Interest Expense (as defined) for the four-quarter period then ended. The Fixed Charge Ratio
is the ratio of the Companys consolidated EBITDA to its Fixed Charges (as defined) for the
four-quarter period then ended. Violations of any of the covenants in the Credit Agreement, if not
cured or waived by the lenders, could result in a demand from the lenders to repay all or a portion
of the Term Loans and the termination of the letter of credit and revolving line of credit
facilities. As of June 28, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. However,
unless operating results improve, the Company may reduce its Senior Debt in order to maintain
compliance with these covenants over the next several quarters. The Company believes that it will
have adequate liquidity available for this purpose and does not anticipate any debt covenant
compliance issues during the next four quarters.
The Senior Notes due 2009 are secured equally and ratably with obligations under the Credit
Agreement, but contain no significant restrictive covenants. Interest is payable semi-annually at
an annual rate of 7.625%. In June 2008, the Company elected to repay the $24.0 million (CAD) note
issued in connection with the December 2007 acquisition of SRI ahead of the scheduled maturity date
of January 5, 2009.
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 28, 2008 was estimated to be approximately $190 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
approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008 and less than $0.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007.
At June 28, 2008, 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 debt. Champion was also contingently obligated for $9.9 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 28, 2008, certain of the Companys subsidiaries were contingently obligated under
reimbursement agreements for
Page 8 of 25
approximately $2.5 million of debt of unconsolidated affiliates.
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
During the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Companys
potentially dilutive securities consisted of convertible debt and outstanding stock options and
awards. For the same periods in 2007, the Companys potentially dilutive securities consisted of
outstanding stock options and awards. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the six month period ended June 28, 2008 as
the effect would have been anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used
in the Companys basic and diluted EPS calculations is as follows:

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. No stock options have been
granted since 2004. 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 costs totaled
approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 and
$0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and
are included in general and administrative expenses.

months ended June 28, 2008:

Cash in the amount of approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million was received from the
exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007,
respectively. No tax benefits were recognized in the financial statements from these stock option

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 2006 through 2008, 2007 through 2009
and 2008 through 2010. For the six months ended June 28, 2008, a total of 425,000 performance
shares vested pursuant to the attainment of 100% of the three-year target for 2005 through 2007, of
which 298,826 shares were issued, net of shares withheld for the payment of participants taxes and
29,575 other stock awards vested. In addition, during the first six months of 2008, a total of
390,000 performance shares were granted for the 2008 through 2010 three-year program.
During the first six months of 2008, a total of 610,000 performance-based restricted shares
were granted with a 2008 through 2012 five-year performance period. Such restricted shares may be
earned after three, four or five years only if certain threshold targets are first attained and
then based on the degree to which the performance targets are attained. Earned shares will vest
over two years from the date earned. Restricted stock awards totaling 28,000 shares remain from an
issuance in November 2004 and vest 50% per year in 2008 and 2009. During February 2008, a
restricted stock award of 15,000 shares was granted and vests one year after grant date. Vesting
of these grants of restricted shares is subject to continued employment with the Company.
Additionally, there remains 43,621 restricted shares issued as part of annual grants to Directors
that vest in November 2008 and May 2009, subject to continued service as a Company Director, and
deferred stock awards of 58,950 shares that will be issued upon the Directors retirement or other
events.

NOTE 10 Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting
Standard Number 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. Where the measurement objective specifically requires the use of fair value,
the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 related to financial assets and financial
liabilities as of December 30, 2007.
SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based
upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis
for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1: |
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
|
|
|
Level 2: |
|
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable
either directly or indirectly; and |
|
|
|
Level 3: |
|
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which
require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three
valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157:
(A) Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by
market transactions involving
identical or comparable assets or liabilities;
(B) Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service
capacity of an asset (replacement
cost); and
(C) Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single
present amount based upon market
expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 28, 2008 are set forth in
the table below:

The Companys auction rate preferred securities (ARPS) at June 28, 2008, are classified as
short-term investments and consist of AAA-rated securities issued by five different closed end
funds. The ARPS are supported by collateral equal to at least 200% of their par value and continue
to pay interest weekly. Although $3.0 million of the ARPS were redeemed at par during the quarter
ended June 28, 2008, these instruments are currently illiquid due to failed auctions resulting from
the difficult conditions in the credit
Page 11 of 25
markets. The fair value of these ARPS was determined by the
Company based on the recent redemptions of $3.0 million at par value and estimated replacement cost
of the ARPS at par value based on their credit ratings, over-collateralization and competitive
interest rates being paid.
NOTE 11 Restructuring Charges
During the six months ended June 28, 2008, charges totaling $9.8 million were incurred
primarily in connection with the Companys decision to close a manufacturing facility in Oregon,
close the final of four plants at an Indiana complex where the other three plants had been
previously idled and reduce the number of North American regional offices from four to two. The
operations at the closed Indiana plant have been consolidated at the Companys other Indiana
homebuilding complex. Total restructuring charges consisted of severance costs of $2.5 million and
fixed asset impairment charges of $7.0 million. An inventory write-down of $0.3 million was
included in cost of sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, charges totaling $1.3
million were recorded in connection with the closure of a manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania.
Total restructuring charges consisted of severance costs of $0.9 million and a fixed asset
impairment charge of $0.2 million. An inventory write-down of $0.2 million was included in cost of
sales.
Severance costs relating to the six month period ended June 28, 2008 included certain payments
required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and were related to the
termination of approximately 330 employees, consisting of substantially all employees at the Oregon
plant and those terminated as a result of the Indiana plant closure and consolidation of
operations. Severance costs relating to the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were related to
the termination of substantially all 160 employees at the closed plant in Pennsylvania and included
payments required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
The following table provides information regarding current year activity for restructuring
reserves established in previous and current periods relating primarily to closures of
manufacturing plants.

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 28, 2008
versus the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
Overview
We are a leading producer of factory-built housing in the United States and Canada. As of
June 28, 2008, our North American manufacturing segment (the manufacturing segment) consisted of
26 homebuilding facilities in 13 states and three provinces in western Canada. Our homes were sold
through approximately 2,000 independent sales centers, builders and developers across the U.S. and
western Canada and also through our retail segment that operates 15 sales offices in California. We
are also a leading producer in the United Kingdom of steel-framed modular buildings for use as
prisons, military accommodations, hotels, residential units and other commercial applications. As
of June 28, 2008, our international segment consisted of five manufacturing facilities in the
United Kingdom.
We made one acquisition during 2007 and one acquisition during the first quarter of 2008.
Results of operations for these acquisitions are included in
our consolidated results for periods
subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.
On February 29, 2008, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of United Kingdom based ModularUK
Building Systems Limited (ModularUK) for a nominal initial cash payment and the assumption of
approximately $4.2 million of debt. ModularUK is located in East Yorkshire, United Kingdom and is
a producer of steel-framed modular buildings serving the healthcare, education and commercial
sectors. The results of operations of ModularUK are included in our results from operations and in
our international segment for periods subsequent to its acquisition date.
On December 21, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets and the business of western
Canada-based SRI Homes Inc. (SRI) for cash payments of approximately $96.2 million, a note
payable of $24 million (CAD) (approximately $24.5 million USD at acquisition date) and assumption
of the operating liabilities of the business. SRI is a leading producer of homes in western Canada
that operates three manufacturing plants in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and
Saskatchewan. The results of operations of SRI are included in our results from operations and in
our manufacturing segment for periods subsequent to its acquisition date.
During the quarter ended June 28, 2008, our manufacturing and retail segments continued to be
affected by the challenging housing market conditions in the U.S. and California, respectively.
However, during the second quarter of 2008, our manufacturing segment operations in Canada remained
strong and homes sold in Canada during the period increased 70% compared to the same period in
2007, primarily from the inclusion of SRI in 2008 results. Our U.S. manufacturing plants operated
at only 44% of capacity during the quarter compared to 58% in the second quarter of 2007. In
response to these conditions, during the first quarter of 2008, we decided to close two
homebuilding facilities, one in Oregon and one in Indiana. These closures were completed during
the second quarter of 2008. In addition, our Henry, TN plant was destroyed by fire during the
first quarter of 2008.
Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 decreased $41.2 million, or 12%,
from the comparable period of 2007, primarily due to lower sales volume of $47.0 million in the
manufacturing segment, despite the inclusion of SRI, and $12.0 million in the retail segment
partially offset by an increase of $13.6 million in the international segment. During the second
quarter of 2008, non-U.S. revenues represented approximately 43% of our total sales.
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2008 were slightly lower than in the
comparable period of 2007. During this period, manufacturing segment sales declined $64.9 million,
despite the inclusion of SRI, and retail segment sales declined $21.0 million. Partially
offsetting these decreases was an increase in sales in the international segment of $77.5 million.
During the six months ended June 28, 2008, non-U.S. revenues represented approximately 47% of our
total sales.
Pretax income for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 was $3.6 million, a decrease of $6.4 million
versus the comparable quarter of 2007, as a result of lower earnings at the manufacturing
and retail segments, despite increased sales and earnings at our
manufacturing segments Canadian operations, primarily from the inclusion of SRI. Results in the quarter ended June 28,
2008 were unfavorably impacted by decreased sales volume and factory utilization which resulted in
production inefficiencies at most of the U.S. plants in our manufacturing segment.
Pretax loss for the six months ended June 28, 2008 was $17.3 million compared to a pretax loss
of $0.3 million for the same period of 2007. The increased loss was driven by decreased income in
the second quarter of 2008 and charges of $9.8 million in the first quarter 2008, primarily from
the closure of two manufacturing plants.
Page 13 of 25
We continue to focus on matching our U.S. 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 28, 2008 decreased from the
comparable period of 2007 primarily due to lower manufacturing and retail segment sales volume in
the U.S., partially offset by higher sales volume in the international segment and the Canadian
operations of the manufacturing segment, which includes SRI in the 2008 periods.
Gross margin for the three months ended June 28, 2008 decreased $9.4 million from the
comparable period of 2007 primarily due to lower sales in the manufacturing and retail segments,
partially offset by increased gross margin from higher sales in the international segment. SG&A
for the three months ended June 28, 2008 decreased by $3.7 million from the comparable period of
2007 primarily due to decreased sales and fewer plants in operation in the manufacturing segments
U.S. operations and lower sales in the retail segment, partially offset by the increased SG&A at
the international segment and the inclusion of SRI.
Gross margin for the six months ended June 28, 2008 decreased $4.9 million from the comparable
period of 2007 primarily as a result of lower gross margin in the manufacturing and retail segments
due to lower sales, partially offset by increased sales in the international segment. SG&A for the
six months ended June 28, 2008 was comparable to the same period of 2007, as lower SG&A at the
manufacturing segments U.S. operations and the retail segment due to lower sales and fewer plants
in operation was offset by higher SG&A at the international segment primarily due to a 75% increase
in sales and the inclusion of SRI.
Restructuring charges are discussed below in the section titled Restructuring Charges.
Interest expense, net is discussed below in the section titled Interest Income and Interest
Expense.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are related to intercompany loans made in
December 2007 between certain of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries that are expected to be repaid.
The foreign currency transaction gains and losses are due to fluctuations in the relative exchange
rates between the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound.
Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 increased over expense
in the comparable period of 2007 due to amortization expense related to intangible assets from the
SRI acquisition.
The inclusion of SRIs results in the quarter ended June 28, 2008 contributed sales and
operating income to our consolidated
Page 14 of 25
results for the quarter. On a proforma basis, assuming we had
owned SRI as of the beginning of 2007, consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, would have been $355.8 million and $638.9 million, respectively, while operating
income for the same periods would have been $18.4 million and $16.1 million, respectively.
Manufacturing Segment
We evaluate the performance of our manufacturing segment based on income before interest,
income taxes, amortization of intangible assets, foreign currency transaction gains and losses on
intercompany indebtedness and general corporate expenses.

Manufacturing segment net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2008 decreased
$47.0 million and $64.9 million, respectively, from the same periods of 2007 due to six plant
closures since the beginning of 2007, the loss of our Henry, TN plant from a fire in February 2008
and lower sales at the same plants operated a year ago. Partially offsetting these decreases was
the inclusion in 2008 of sales from SRI. The difficult U.S. housing market continued during the
first six months of 2008 and resulted in low levels of unfilled production orders and lower sales
volumes at most of our U.S. plants. Average manufacturing selling prices increased in 2008 as
compared to 2007 as a result of product mix, including increased sales, on a percentage basis, of
higher priced Canadian homes.
Manufacturing segment income for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 decreased $3.6 million from
the comparable period of 2007 primarily from lower sales in the U.S., partially offset by the
inclusion of income from SRI and cost reduction initiatives at the same plants operated a year ago.
Market conditions during the quarter resulted in low levels of unfilled orders at most of our
plants and production inefficiencies caused by underutilized factory capacity. Our U.S. plants
operated at 44% of capacity for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 58% a year ago.
Manufacturing segment income for the six months ended June 28, 2008 decreased $12.7 million
from the comparable period of 2007 primarily from the $3.6 million reduction in the second quarter
of 2008 and $9.3 million of charges in the first quarter of 2008 resulting from the announced
closure of two manufacturing facilities and the restructuring of the segment that included the
closing of two regional offices. Other issues impacting the reduction in segment income include
lower sales in the U.S., partially offset by the inclusion of income from SRI and cost reduction
initiatives at the same plants operated a year ago. Market conditions during the
period resulted in low levels of unfilled orders at most of our plants and production
inefficiencies caused by under utilized factory capacity. Our U.S. plants operated at 41% of
capacity for the first six months of 2008 compared to 51% for the same period a year ago. Results
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included the closure of two plants in the first quarter of
2007, one of which resulted in the recording of charges of $1.3 million. Partially offsetting the
2007 plant closing charges was a net gain of $0.6 million, primarily from the sale of one idle
plant.
Page 15 of 25
The plant closures announced in the first quarter of 2008 included one in Oregon and one in
Indiana. The operations at the closed Indiana plant have been consolidated at our other Indiana
homebuilding complex. The Indiana closure was the final of four plants at a complex where the
other three plants had been previously idled. Charges for the plant closures in the first quarter
of 2008 totaling $9.3 million consisted of fixed asset impairment charges of $7.0 million,
severance costs totaling $2.0 million and an inventory write-down of $0.3 million. Severance costs
included certain payments required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and
were related to the termination of approximately 330 employees consisting of substantially all
employees at the Oregon plant and those terminated as a result of the Indiana plant closure and
consolidation of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 we closed one plant in
Pennsylvania which resulted in 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.
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 orders for
homes at June 28, 2008 totaled approximately $42 million for the 26 plants in operation compared to
$25 million at March 29, 2008 and $68 million at June 30, 2007 for the 28 plants in operation.
Current unfilled orders are concentrated at nine manufacturing locations. The majority of our
other plants are currently operating with one week or less of unfilled orders.
The inclusion of SRIs results in the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2008 contributed
sales and segment income to our manufacturing segment results. On a proforma basis, assuming we
had owned SRI as of the beginning of 2007, manufacturing net sales and segment income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, would have been $283.8 million and $22.8 million, respectively,
manufacturing net sales and segment income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, would have been
$506.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively.
International Segment
We evaluate the performance of our international segment based on income before interest,
income taxes, amortization of intangible assets, foreign currency transaction gains and losses on
intercompany indebtedness and general corporate expenses.

International segment net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 increased over the
comparable quarter of 2007 due to an increase in revenues from residential projects and revenues
from ModularUK, which was acquired on February 29, 2008. In the quarter, approximately 64% of
revenue was derived from custodial (prison) and military accommodations projects. The balance of
revenue was attributable to residential, hotel and other commercial projects. The sales increase
was due to increased site-work revenue, which offset lower factory revenue. Site-work revenue
accounted for approximately 51% of total international segment revenue in the quarter.
Segment income for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 was lower than for the comparable quarter
of 2007 as higher gross margin from increased sales was offset by increased SG&A. SG&A increased
from staff added to support and grow the business, particularly in the healthcare and education
markets in which ModularUK specializes. Additionally, delivery costs were higher than anticipated
due to higher fuel costs. Segment margin, as a percent of sales, was impacted by increased SG&A
and delivery costs.
In connection with the acquisition of ModularUK, we entered into a lease agreement for three
additional buildings near Driffield, East Yorkshire, which is approximately 60 miles from
Caledonians existing operations. Upon completion of leasehold improvements, ModularUK will
relocate its operations to one of these three buildings. The other two buildings will provide
approximately 25% additional manufacturing capacity for Caledonian. ModularUK is expected to
commence operations at the Driffield site during the third quarter of 2008.
Firm contracts and orders pending contracts under framework agreements totaled approximately
$205 million at the end of the quarter, sufficient to secure production levels for the remainder of
2008.
International segment net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2008 increased over the
comparable period of 2007 due to a
Page 16 of 25
significant increase in revenues from prison projects,
increased revenues from military accommodations, hotels and residential projects and revenues from
ModularUK. In the 2008 six month period, approximately 71% of revenue was derived from prison and
military accommodations projects. The balance of revenue was attributable to residential, hotel
and other commercial projects. The sales increase was due to increased site-work revenue which
accounted for approximately 63% of total international segment revenue in the 2008 six month
period.
Segment income for the six months ended June 28, 2008, increased over the comparable period of
2007 due to higher gross margin from significantly higher sales, partially offset by investments in
SG&A to support and grow the business.

Retail sales for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 decreased versus the comparable
periods of 2007 primarily due to continuing difficult housing market conditions in California which
resulted in selling fewer homes and at a lower average selling price per home. Additionally, a
company that provided financing to a significant number of buyers of our homes in California ceased
further loan originations in California at the beginning of the second quarter. As a result, our
retail operations and its customers have been unable to find suitable financing for many potential
transactions. We are working to find other local and national lenders to finance our retail sales.
In the three and six month periods of 2008, the average home selling price declined due to product
mix, liquidation of aged inventory and impact of market conditions on park space values.
The retail segment reported losses for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 versus the
comparable periods of 2007, as gross profit was reduced due to lower sales, lower margins on sales
of aged inventory and, in the first quarter of 2008, an inventory write-down of $1.8 million,
primarily related to park spaces in southern California. Our SG&A costs in 2008 have declined only
modestly versus the significant decrease in sales because of the fixed nature of most of our SG&A
costs, excluding sales commissions and incentives. During the quarter, we closed two of our sales
offices to reduce costs and will service the related inventory from other sales locations.
Restructuring Charges
During the six months ended June 28, 2008, we incurred charges totaling $9.8 million from the
closure of two U.S. manufacturing plants and the restructuring of the manufacturing segment that
included the elimination of two regional offices. Restructuring charges in the six month period
totaling $9.5 million consisted of fixed asset impairment charges of $7.0 million and severance
costs of $2.5 million. Other plant closing charges in the period, which are included in cost of
sales, consisted of $0.3 million for the write down of
closed plant inventories. Of the total charges, $0.5 million of the severance costs are included
in general corporate expenses and $9.3 million of the costs and charges are included in the results
of the manufacturing segment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred charges totaling $1.3 million from the
closure of one U.S. manufacturing plant. Restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30,
2007 included severance costs of $0.9 million and a fixed asset impairment charge of $0.2 million.
Other plant closing charges for the first six months of 2007, which are included in cost of sales,
consisted of $0.2 million for the write down of closed plant inventories.
During the six months ended June 28, 2008 we paid $2.0 million of accrued restructuring costs.
As of June 28, 2008, accrued but unpaid restructuring costs totaled $1.4 million and consisted of
severance costs totaling $1.2 million and warranty costs totaling $0.2 million.
Page 17 of 25
General Corporate Expenses
General corporate expense for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 declined
approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of
2007 as a result of lower legal fees and financing costs, partially offset by increased
professional fees.
Interest Income and Interest Expense
For the three and six months ended June 28, 2008, interest expense was slightly higher than
the comparable periods in 2007 as a result of higher debt balances but lower average interest rates
resulting from the issuance of $180 million of 2.75% convertible debt in November 2007 and a net
reduction of $65 million of debt with interest rates that averaged 7.8%.
Interest income for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 was lower than in the comparable quarter
of 2007 due to higher average invested cash balances being offset by lower interest rates.
Interest income for the six months ended June 28, 2008 was higher than in 2007 due to higher
average invested cash balances being only partially offset by lower interest rates.
Income Taxes
The primary difference between the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June
28, 2008 and the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate was due to the use of an annual estimated
effective global tax rate of 5.6% to provide income taxes for the periods, exclusive of discreet
tax adjustments. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 28, 2008 also included a
first quarter adjustment for $0.6 million of tax expense from the excess of cumulative book expense
over the tax deduction amount related to the vesting of stock compensation during the quarter. The
annual estimated effective global tax rate was determined after consideration of the estimated
annual pretax results, estimated permanent differences and the statutory tax rates for the
countries and the various states and provinces in which we operate.
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%, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.3% for the quarter ended June 30,
2007. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 also included a first quarter
adjustment for a $0.5 million tax benefit from the settlement of a tax uncertainty during the
period.
As of December 29, 2007, we had available U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $233 million for tax purposes to offset certain future federal taxable income. These
loss carryforwards expire in 2023 through 2027. Although we expect to generate sufficient U.S.
pretax income in the future to utilize available NOL carryforwards, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to do so. Additionally, the current U.S. economy and housing market present
significant challenges to returning our U.S. operations to profitability. In the event that we
incur additional U.S. pretax losses or insufficient U.S. pretax income during the remainder of
2008, in the absence of other favorable indicators, we will likely have to provide a valuation
allowance for all or a portion of the U.S. deferred tax assets. The net U.S. deferred tax assets
subject to potential impairment totaled approximately $150 million at June 28, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Unrestricted cash balances totaled $84.4 million at June 28, 2008. During the first six
months of 2008, continuing operating activities used $12.2 million of net cash. During the six
months ended June 28, 2008, accounts receivable and accounts payable increased $1.3 million and
$4.4 million, respectively, primarily due to increased volume in the international segment
partially offset by lower volumes in the manufacturing and retail segments, and inventories
decreased by $8.7 million. Other current liabilities decreased $21.6 million during the period,
including a net decrease in accrued volume rebates of $10.3 million. Other cash provided during
the period included $1.2 million of property sales proceeds that resulted primarily from the sale
of one idle plant and $2.5 million of insurance receipts related to the Henry, TN plant fire.
During the period, $25.7 million of cash was used to pay down debt, primarily the $24 million note
payable issued in the SRI acquisition. Other cash used during the period included $5.7 million for
capital expenditures, $2.5 million of acquisition related payments and net cash of $7.0 million for
the purchase of short-term
investments.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we improved our capital structure by completing a $180 million,
2.75% Convertible Note offering (the Convertible Notes) that provided $174.1 million of net
proceeds. In connection therewith, we completed a tender offer for our Senior Notes and used cash
of $79.7 million to redeem $75.6 million of the Senior Notes. In addition, we prepaid $14.5
million of our Term Loan due 2012. These transactions extended the average maturity of our
indebtedness and also reduced the average interest rate on our indebtedness.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into approximately 47.7 shares of our common stock per
$1,000 of principal. The conversion rate can exceed 47.7 shares per $1,000 of principal when the
closing price of our common stock exceeds approximately
Page 18 of 25
$20.97 per share for one or more days in
the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on the second trading day after the conversion
date. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to repurchase the Notes if we are involved
in certain types of corporate transactions or other events constituting a fundamental change.
Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of
their Notes on November 1 of 2012, 2017, 2022, 2027 and 2032. We have the right to redeem the
Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, for cash at any time after October 31, 2012.
We
have a senior secured credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with various
financial institutions under which the Sterling Term Loan and the Term Loan were issued. The
Credit Agreement also provides us with a revolving line of credit in the amount of $40 million, a
$60 million letter of credit facility and 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 Credit Agreement is secured by a first security interest in
substantially all of the assets of our domestic operating subsidiaries. As of June 28, 2008,
letters of credit issued under the facility totaled $55.7 million and there were no borrowings
under the revolving line of credit. The maturity date for the revolving line of credit is October
31, 2010. The maturity date for each of the Term Loan, the Sterling Term Loan and the letter of
credit facility is October 31, 2012.
In June 2008, we elected to repay the $24.0 million (CAD) note issued in connection with the
December 2007 acquisition of SRI ahead of the scheduled maturity date of January 5, 2009.
The Credit Agreement requires principal payments for the Term Loan and the Sterling Term Loan
totaling approximately $1.1 million for 2008 and approximately $1.8 million annually thereafter.
The interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan is currently a LIBOR based rate (2.38% at June
28, 2008) plus 3.25%. The interest rate for borrowings under the Sterling Term Loan is currently a
U.K. LIBOR based rate (5.45% at June 28, 2008) plus 3.25%. The
letter of credit facility is subject to a 3.35% annual fee and the unused
portion of the line of credit facility is subject to an annual fee ranging from 0.50% to
0.75%.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. The following table

Charge Ratio that we are required to maintain under the Credit Agreement:

As of June 28, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants. However, unless operating
results improve, we may reduce our Senior Debt in order to maintain compliance with these covenants
over the next several quarters. We believe that we will have adequate liquidity available for this
purpose and do not anticipate any debt covenant compliance issues during the next four quarters.
The Senior Notes are secured equally and ratably with our obligations under the Credit
Agreement. Interest is payable semi-annually at an annual rate of 7.625%. In November 2007, the
Indenture governing the Senior Notes was modified via a Supplemental Indenture, which eliminated
substantially all restrictive covenants.
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.
We expect to spend less than $8 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of 2008.
We do not plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near term. We may use a portion of
our cash balances to finance acquisitions of businesses or to repay indebtedness.
Contingent liabilities and obligations
We had significant contingent liabilities and obligations at June 28, 2008, including surety
bonds and letters of credit totaling approximately $65.6 million, reimbursement obligations by
certain of our consolidated subsidiaries of approximately $2.5 million of debt of unconsolidated
affiliates and estimated wholesale repurchase obligations.
Page 19 of 25
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 28, 2008 was approximately
$190 million, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. As of June 28, 2008, our
independent retailer with the largest contingent repurchase obligation had approximately $8.2
million of inventory subject to repurchase for up to 18 months from date of invoice. As of June
28, 2008, our next 24 largest independent retailers had an aggregate of approximately $39.2 million
of inventory subject to repurchase for up to 18 months from date of invoice, with individual
amounts ranging from approximately $0.3 million to $4.2 million per retailer. For the six months
ended June 28, 2008, we paid $1.1 million and incurred a loss of $0.2 million for the repurchase of
20 homes. In the comparable period last year, we paid $0.3 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.
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 28, 2008, our unrestricted cash balances totaled $84.4 million and we had unused
availability of $28.7 million under our revolving credit facility. Therefore, total cash available
from these sources was approximately $113.1 million. We expect that our cash flow from operations
for the next two years will be adequate to fund capital expenditures during that period as well as
the approximately $23.4 million of scheduled debt and earn out payments due in 2008 and 2009,
including the $13.3 million Caledonian earn out obligation and the remaining $6.7 million of Senior
Notes due May 2009. Therefore, the level of cash availability is projected to be in excess of cash
needed to operate our businesses for the next two years. We may use a portion of our cash balances
to finance acquisitions of businesses or to repay indebtedness. 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.
At June 28, 2008, we also have short-term investments consisting of approximately $7.0 million
of AAA-rated auction rate preferred securities (ARPS) issued by five different closed end funds.
Until recently, liquidity for these ARPS was provided by weekly auctions at which the ARPS could be
bought or sold, with fund sponsors using their own cash to reduce any imbalance in orders.
Although $3.0 million of our ARPS were redeemed at par during the quarter ended June 28, 2008,
these instruments are currently illiquid due to failed auctions resulting from the difficult
conditions in the credit markets. We consider this situation to be temporary and the sponsoring
funds are attempting to develop programs to allow investors to redeem
their holdings of ARPS.
Currently, we believe there is a limited secondary market for ARPS. We currently plan to hold the
ARPS until the current situation is resolved and the securities can be redeemed.
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 2007. There have been no material changes to our critical
accounting policies described in such Form 10-K.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting
Standard Number 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that
fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset
or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those
assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level
within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2 that
delayed, by one year, the effective date of SFAS 157 for the majority of non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities. Effective December 30, 2007, we adopted SFAS 157 for certain assets and
liabilities which were not included in FSP FAS 157-2. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no significant
impact on our financial position or results of operations for the three and six months ended June
28, 2008. For additional information regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements,
see Note 10 to the financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting
Standard Number 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits an entity to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to provide entities with an opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Entities that choose to
measure eligible items at fair value will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date.
Page 20 of 25
The fair value option may be elected at specified election dates on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. The Statement also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is
effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We have
decided not to adopt SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial
Accounting Standard Number 141(R) (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations and Financial Accounting
Standard Number 160 (SFAS 160), Accounting and Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 expand the
scope of acquisition accounting to all transactions and circumstances under which control of a
business is obtained. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with
early adoption prohibited and these standards must be adopted concurrently. These standards will
impact us for any acquisitions subsequent to the adoption date. The most significant effect of
adoption of SFAS 141R on our results of operations is that success fees and due diligence, legal,
accounting, valuation and similar costs incurred in connection with acquisitions
(acquisition-related costs) are required to be expensed as incurred. Current practice is that such
costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.
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 29,
2007, 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 2007 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 Credit Agreement are currently subject to variable rates of
interest based on both U.S. and U.K. LIBOR. A 100 basis point increase in the underlying interest
rate would result in an additional annual interest cost of approximately $1.4 million, assuming
average related debt of $143.5 million, which was the amount of outstanding borrowings at June 28,
2008.
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 $0.1 million, assuming average
related debt of $12.4 million, which was the amount of outstanding borrowings at June 28, 2008.
Our approach to interest rate risk is to balance our borrowings between fixed rate and
variable rate debt. At June 28, 2008, we had $180 million of Convertible Notes and $6.7 million of
Senior Notes at fixed rates and $156.0 million of Term Loans and industrial revenue bonds at
variable rates.
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk with our factory-built housing operations in Canada
and our international segment in the U.K. Our Canadian operations had 2007 proforma net sales
totaling $220 million (CAD), including SRIs net sales. Assuming future annual Canadian sales
equal to 2007 proforma sales, a change of 1.0% in exchange rates between the U.S. and Canadian
dollars would change consolidated sales by $2.2 million. Our international segment had 2007 sales
of £140 million (pounds Sterling). Assuming future annual U.K. sales equal to 2007 sales, a change
of 1.0% in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound Sterling would change
consolidated sales by $2.8 million. Net income of the Canadian and U.K. 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 U.K. Therefore a significant portion of foreign
exchange risk related to our Caledonian investment in the U.K. is offset. Repayment of any portion
of this loan will result in realized foreign exchange transaction gains and losses based on the
exchange rate at the time of repayment. We do not hedge our investment in the Canadian operations.
We use intercompany loans between our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries to provide funds for
acquisitions and other purposes. At June 28, 2008 the total of such intercompany loans was $ 93.2
million. Until these loans are repaid, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses will be
reported in our statement of operations based on fluctuations in the relative exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound.
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 28, 2008, 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. An enterprise resource planning system implementation at SRI commenced in the
second quarter of 2008 but will likely not be completed for all three manufacturing plants until
the second or third quarter of 2009. Management does not currently believe that this system
implementation will adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting.
