GENERAL Clayton Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries produce, sell, finance and insure primarily low to medium-priced manufactured homes. Throughout the remainder of this report, including exhibits and attachments, the term "Company" may be used to refer to Clayton Homes, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, either individually or collectively as a group. The term "Company-owned" will generally be used to address the subsidiary that owns a particular asset or group of assets or performs a particular function being discussed. Clayton Homes, Inc. and the individual subsidiaries may also be referred to by name or segment description. The Company's 20 manufacturing plants produce homes that are marketed in 32 states through 976 retailers, of which 302 are Company-owned sales centers, 86 are Company-owned community sales offices and 588 are independent retailers. Installment financing and insurance products are offered to its homebuyers and those buying from selected independent retailers. Such financing is provided through its wholly owned finance subsidiary, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. ("VMF"). The Company acts as agent, earns commissions and reinsures 100% of the risks on physical damage insurance policies, family protection insurance policies, home buyer protection insurance policies, and extended service contracts issued by a non-related insurance company (ceding company) in connection with its home sales. The Company also develops, owns, and manages manufactured housing communities. The Company is a Delaware corporation whose predecessor was incorporated in 1968 in Tennessee. Its principal executive offices are located near Knoxville, Tennessee. The following table indicates the percentage of revenue derived from sales by Company-owned retail centers, sales to independent retailers and financial services operations and other income for each of the last three fiscal years. 2

MANUFACTURED HOMES A manufactured home made by the Company is a factory-built, completely finished dwelling. Constructed to be transported by truck, the home is mounted on wheels attached to its frame. Manufactured homes are designed to be permanent, owner-occupied residences sited and attached to utilities. The Company manufactures a variety of single and multi-section homes in a wide price range. Retail prices range from $10,000 to $97,000 with sizes from 500 to 2,400 square feet. The Company markets the homes it manufactures under the names of Clayton and Norris. Included standard features are central heating, range, refrigerator, and color-coordinated window, wall and floor treatments. Optional features include central air conditioning, wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, whirlpool tubs, entertainment systems, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers, skylights and furniture. When combined with land and as a land-home package, other features such as driveways, carports and decks are common. MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS The Company manufactures homes in 20 facilities, ranging in size from 87,000 to 194,000 square feet. See "Item 2. Properties" for a listing by location of the Company's facilities. The Company's manufactured homes are built in its plants using assembly-line techniques. Completion of a home ordinarily takes two days. Homes are generally produced to fill orders received from independent and Company-owned retail centers; therefore, the Company does not normally maintain a significant inventory of homes at its plants. Independent carriers transport completed homes to the retail centers. The Company's plants operate on a one-shift-per-day basis, normally for a five-day week, with the capacity to produce approximately 35,000 homes per year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company produced 18,063 homes. The principal materials utilized in the production of the Company's homes are steel, aluminum, wood, fiberglass, carpet, vinyl floor covering, hardware items, appliances and electrical items. The Company purchases these and other items from a number of supply sources, and it believes that the materials and parts necessary for the construction and assembly of its homes will remain readily available from these sources. The Company is not dependent on any particular manufacturer or supplier as a source for these principal materials. In the event that any of these items are not readily available or are available at a higher cost than could be passed on to consumers, the operations of the Company could be adversely affected. Construction of the Company's manufactured homes and the plumbing, heating and electrical systems installed in them must comply with standards set by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development under the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. See "Regulation." The Company offers one-year limited warranty programs covering manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship in a home. Warranties covering appliances and equipment installed in the homes generally are obligations of the manufacturers of such items and are not those of the Company. Warranty and service costs during the years ended June 30, 2003, June 30, 2002, and June 30, 2001, amounted to approximately $11,157,000, $13,522,000, and $14,193,000, respectively. The backlog of firm orders for homes manufactured by the Company, including orders from Company-owned retail centers, was approximately $21,500,000 and $22,000,000 on June 30, 2003, and 2002, 3 respectively. Based on the Company's production rate, approximately two weeks would be required to fill backlog orders at June 30, 2003. SALES OF HOMES MANUFACTURED BY THE COMPANY The following table sets forth manufacturing sales and other data for the periods indicated.

COMPANY RETAIL OPERATIONS As of June 30, 2003, the Company sold homes through 302 Company-owned retail centers in 25 states. In addition to selling homes built by the Company, virtually all of these retail centers sell new homes manufactured by other companies and previously-owned manufactured homes. The following table indicates the number of Company-owned retail centers and certain information relating to homes sold during the last three fiscal years.

All of the Company-owned retail centers employ salespeople who are primarily compensated on a commission basis. The retail centers generally do not have administrative staffs since most administrative functions are performed at the Company's corporate headquarters. To provide customers a wider price range of homes, the Company purchases and acquires on trade previously owned manufactured homes from individuals and from other retailers. It also purchases foreclosed homes from lenders throughout its trade territory. Homes sold by Company-owned retail centers are delivered to the homeowners' sites by trucks either owned by the Company or leased for the particular delivery. The purchase price of the home may include delivery and setup of the home at the retail homeowner's site. Electrical, water, and gas connections are performed by licensed technicians. Generally, homes are sold at retail in one of three types of transactions. In a home-only transaction, which is the most common, the home is placed on a site that the homebuyer either owns or leases and the site is not part of the collateral. Additionally, the homebuyer may pledge land that they own as additional collateral, or instead of a down payment. This is commonly referred to as a "land-in-lieu" transaction and the home remains personal property. The third type of transaction is known as a "land-home" transaction. In this case, the land is purchased for the customer and the home and land may be recorded as real property, or the home may retain its title as personal property, with the land being recorded as real property. 4 INDEPENDENT RETAILERS In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, 36% of homes manufactured by the Company were sold to its independent retailers, compared to 40% for the year ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2003, the Company supplied its manufactured homes to 588 independent retailers in 32 states. The Company's independent retailer network enables it to distribute homes to more markets, more quickly, without as large an investment in management resources and overhead expenses as is required with Company-owned retail centers. Sales to independent retailers helps to ensure that Company's homes are competitive with other manufacturers in terms of consumer acceptability, product design, quality and price. The Company's finance subsidiary, VMF, provides financing for retail customers of select independent retailers with terms and conditions similar to those provided to Company-owned locations. In addition, VMF also provides inventory financing for certain independent retailers. The Company establishes relationships with its independent retailers through sales representatives from its manufacturing plants. These representatives visit independent retailers in assigned areas to solicit orders for the Company's homes. The area is generally limited to a 500-mile radius from each of the Company's manufacturing plants due to the relatively significant cost of transporting a home. Depending on the cost of the home and the manufacturing competition within the area, some homes may be shipped longer distances while remaining competitively priced. During each of the Company's last three fiscal years, no single independent retailer accounted for more than 2% of the Company's consolidated revenues. The Company's independent retailers generally provide their own inventory financing; allowing the Company to receive payment for homes within two weeks after the home is constructed. The Company does not require agreements with its independent retailers, and either party may terminate the relationship between the Company and each of its independent retailers at any time. The Company believes its relationships with its independent retailers are good. The Company generally has little control over the operations of independent retailers. As is customary in the industry, lenders providing financing for independent retailer purchases require that the Company execute repurchase agreements that include provisions requiring the Company to repurchase homes for the amount remaining unpaid to the lender, excluding interest and repossession costs, should the retailer default under its inventory financing arrangements. Historically, any homes repurchased under such agreements are immediately resold to other retailers, including Company-owned retail centers, at approximately the repurchase price. During the prior five fiscal years, the Company has incurred no significant losses resulting from these contingent obligations, but there can be no assurance that losses will not occur in the future. FINANCIAL SERVICES The Company maintains that the ability to make financing available to retail purchasers is a material factor affecting the market acceptance of its product. The Company facilitates retail sales by offering various finance and insurance programs. The following table reflects the relative percentages of homes sold by Company-owned retail centers that were financed through the Company, either by VMF or by conventional lenders, and those sales made to customers who arranged their own financing or paid cash.

VMF also purchases and originates manufactured housing installment contract receivables (also referred to as manufactured housing contracts) on an individual basis from select independent retailers. Retailers submit homebuyer applications to VMF for approval and, provided that credit reports, employment verification, and income and debt analysis meet VMF's criteria, a contract purchase commitment is issued to the selling retailer. 5 VMF makes bulk purchases of manufactured housing contracts from banks and other lenders. It also performs, on behalf of other institutions, servicing of manufactured housing contracts that were not purchased or originated by VMF. These purchases and servicing arrangements may relate to the portfolios of other lenders or finance companies, governmental agencies, or other entities that purchase and hold manufactured housing contracts. UNDERWRITING POLICIES. Retail customers of the Company who express a desire to obtain financing by or through the Company complete a credit application that is initially reviewed by the manager of the retail center who then determines whether to forward the application to VMF. VMF's underwriting guidelines require that each applicant's credit, residence, employment history and income to debt payment ratios meet predetermined guidelines. If, in the judgment of the VMF credit manager, an applicant does not meet minimum-underwriting criteria, there must be other determining criteria in order for an applicant to be approved. Credit managers confirm that the credit investigation gives a complete and up-to-date accounting of the applicant's creditworthiness and are encouraged to obtain second opinions on loans for relatively large dollar amounts or those which tend to rank lower in terms of underwriting criteria. Generally, the sum of the monthly installment housing obligation, which includes the manufactured home loan payment and monthly site costs, should not exceed 35% of the applicant's gross monthly income. With respect to those homebuyers that are approved, VMF requires a down payment in the form of cash, the trade-in value of a previously owned manufactured home, and/or the estimated value of equity in real property pledged as additional collateral. For previously owned homes, the trade-in allowance accepted by the retailer must be consistent with the market value of the home in light of current local market conditions. The value of real property pledged as additional collateral is estimated by licensed appraisers or by retail personnel, who are not appraisers but are familiar with the area in which the property is located. The average down-payment, including cash, trade equity, or land, for 2003 was 24% of the purchase price, while the minimum down-payment for qualified buyers was generally 5%. The purchase price includes the stated cash sale price of the manufactured home, sales or other taxes and fees and set-up costs. The balance of the purchase price is financed using various installment sales contracts or mortgage instruments providing for a purchase money security interest in the manufactured home and a mortgage on any real property pledged as additional collateral. Normally, the contracts provide for equal monthly payments, generally over a period of seven to thirty years at fixed or variable rates of interest. The Company offers a bi-weekly payment program that provides for 26 payments per year, allowing homebuyers the convenience of electronically drafting payments from their checking accounts while reducing the overall term of the loan. The Company maintains that such financing options are attractive and beneficial to the customer and improve market acceptance of its homes. Because of the shorter term, the customer will increase the rate at which equity is built, translating into improved delinquency and repossession experience. During the Company's last 15 fiscal years, VMF was the most significant source of financing for purchasers of homes sold by the Company-owned retail centers. In fiscal year 2003, VMF originated 23,248 contracts, as compared to 23,204 in fiscal year 2002. At June 30, 2003, VMF was servicing approximately 170,000 contracts with an aggregate dollar amount of approximately $5.5 billion. VMF originated or purchased approximately 162,000 of these contracts with an aggregate dollar amount of approximately $5.3 billion. The Company expects that VMF will continue to provide a significant portion of the financing for purchasers of its homes. The volume of manufactured housing contracts originated by VMF for the periods indicated below and certain other information at the end of such periods is as follows: 6

The following table indicates the number of loans (in thousands) serviced by VMF on the dates indicated:

VMF FUNDING. VMF draws on its short-term credit facilities with the Company to fund manufactured home loans, while long-term financing has been obtained through the capital markets. In fiscal 2003, VMF completed three public offerings of asset-backed securities totaling approximately $1.2 billion, including $15 million in mortgage-backed securities offered through the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). VMF's capital market activity, historically the primary source of permanent funding for its lending activities, was in the form of asset-backed securities issued through its special purpose entity. These securities, sold in public markets, are collateralized by manufactured housing receivables that were either originated or acquired by VMF. Certain of these receivables were originated and are being subserviced by other entities. With respect to the securitized pools that contain receivables originated or acquired by other entities, VMF is servicer for all loans in the pools, with a subservicing arrangement on those receivables that are originated by or acquired from other entities. Loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA") are permanently funded through the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") pass-through program. Under the GNMA program, installment sales contracts are warehoused by VMF and then pooled in denominations of approximately $3,000,000 to collateralize the issuance by VMF of securities guaranteed by GNMA under the provisions of the National Housing Act. Under the GNMA program, VMF retains the servicing of the installment sales contracts and is responsible for passing through payments under the contracts to GNMA security holders. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, VMF originated installment sales contracts eligible for financing under the GNMA program having aggregate principal balances of $44,967,000. As of June 30, 2003, VMF was servicing 205 GNMA pools totaling $70 million in principal balances. Use of FHA financing minimizes the Company's contingent liability for these installment sales contracts because of the government-insured nature of the loans. Accordingly, the Company maintains that the use of this form of financing, for customers who qualify, increases the marketability of its manufactured homes. Certain of the agreements related to borrowings include covenants with respect to the Company's financial condition and corporate existence. The Company is contingently liable as guarantor on installment contract receivables sold with recourse. For the year ending June 30, 2003, there were $15 million of these receivables sold. No receivables were sold with recourse in 2002 and 2001. At June 30, 2003, and 2002, the outstanding principal balances of these receivables totaled approximately $70 million and $68 million, respectively. ACQUIRED CONTRACTS AND SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS. Certain acquired contracts are originated by banks or commercial lenders, and acquired indirectly or directly by VMF. The acquired contracts are purchased on the basis of underwriting criteria that may be different from and may not be as strict as VMF's underwriting criteria. 7 In fiscal year 1998, VMF became the servicer of 10,013 manufactured housing installment sales contracts with approximate principal balances of $267 million. VMF acts solely as servicer with respect to these contracts and, thus, has no ownership interest or contingent liability related to these portfolios. At June 30, 2003, VMF was servicing approximately 7,000 of these installment sales contracts with an approximate principal balance of $134 million. In addition, in 2002, VMF acquired 22,996 contracts with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $900 million. VMF has contracted with an affiliate finance company to sub-service approximately $450 million of these receivables. In 2003, VMF acquired contracts with an aggregate principal balance of $732 million, including approximately $286 million from an affiliate with the affiliate retaining the servicing. For its own servicing portfolio, the Company acquired 9,256 contracts with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $446 million. DELINQUENCY AND REPOSSESSION EXPERIENCE. VMF performs record keeping, collections and other servicing activities on all loans that it originates or purchases through portfolio acquisitions. Although the terms of the installment sales contracts vary according to the financial institutions that purchased the contracts, most contracts provide that the failure to make a payment as scheduled is an event of default that allows the lender to repossess the home. Generally the Company does not repossess the home until payments are three months delinquent, unless the borrower does not have apparent ability to bring payments current, in which case repossession may occur sooner. The Company generally follows the same policy with respect to loans insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, although the Company must also file a notice of claim within nine months after default with the agency to preserve its rights under the programs. The following table sets forth delinquent installment sales contracts as a percentage of the total number of installment sales contracts on which the Company provided servicing and was either contingently liable or owner. An account is considered delinquent if any payment is past due more that 30 days.

The following table sets forth information related to loan loss/repossession experience for all installment contract receivables on which the Company is either owner or contingently liable:

With respect to repossessions of homes securing installment sales contracts that are included in securitized pools that it issued, the Company currently, at its option, remits to the related trust, or other custodian, the unpaid balance of an installment sales contract it originated through its company owned stores or communities, upon repossession of the home. For those contracts, including contracts acquired from other institutions and contracts originated through other channels that are included in securitized pools issued by the Company, remittance of the unpaid balance of the installment contract is made, at the option of the Company, to the related trust, or other custodian, upon sale of the repossessed collateral. The Company 8 maintains that as long as it is able to sell repossessed homes promptly at satisfactory prices, the costs associated with remarketing these homes can be mitigated. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's future results with respect to the payoff and resale of repossessed homes will be consistent with its past experience. See Note 7, Item 8, within this document. INSURANCE OPERATIONS. The Company acts as agent on physical damage insurance policies, family protection insurance policies, home buyer protection plan insurance policies, and extended service contracts written by unaffiliated insurance companies (ceding companies) for purchasers of its manufactured homes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company acted as the agent on physical damage, family protection, and homebuyer protection policies on approximately 62%, 42%, and 78%, respectively, of Company retail sales. Physical damage and home buyer protection plan policies issued through the Company's agency are reinsured through Vanderbilt Property and Casualty Insurance Co., LTD ("VPAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The family protection insurance policies issued through the Company's agency are reinsured through Vanderbilt Life and Casualty Insurance Co., LTD, ("VLAC"), Midland States Life Insurance Company ("MSLC") and Eastern States Life Insurance Company ("ESLC"), which are majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES The Company owns and operates 86 manufactured home communities in 12 states. These communities provide attractive living environments to residents leasing sites for manufactured homes, many of which are built and sold by the Company. In addition, these communities also lease sites to residents who already own their homes. Some communities also lease or rent Company-owned manufactured homes and the sites. In fiscal 2003 the Communities group developed 902 home sites in four communities and added 393 sites at existing locations, bringing total sites owned to 22,677 at June 30, 2003, a 6% increase from the prior year. See "Item 2. Properties." Communities' overall revenues were up 15% in 2003. Rental revenues rose 5% and sales increased 27%. The following table lists the number of community sites owned and the aggregate occupancy rate at the end of the last three fiscal years:

REGULATION The Company's manufactured homes are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws. The National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 governs construction of manufactured housing. In 1976, the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") issued regulations under this Act establishing comprehensive national construction standards. The HUD regulations cover all aspects of manufactured home construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, wind loads and thermal protection. The Company's manufacturing facilities and the plans and specifications for its manufactured homes have been approved by a HUD-designated inspection agency. A HUD-approved organization regularly inspects the Company's manufactured homes for compliance during construction. Failure to comply with the HUD regulations could expose the Company to a wide variety of sanctions, including closing the Company's plants. The Company believes the homes it manufactures comply with all present HUD requirements. In addition, certain components of manufactured homes are subject to regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission which is empowered, in certain circumstances, to ban the use of component materials believed to be hazardous to health and to require the manufacturer to repair defects in components in its homes. In February 1983, the Federal Trade Commission adopted regulations requiring disclosure of a manufactured home's insulation specifications. A variety of laws affect the sale of manufactured homes on credit by the Company. Regulation Z (issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) requires written disclosure of information relative to such credit sales, including the amount of the annual percentage rate and the finance charge. The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act also requires disclosure of certain information used as a basis to deny 9 credit. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Regulation B issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) prohibits discrimination against any credit applicant based on sex, marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract), receipt of income from any public assistance program or the good faith exercise by the applicant of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. Regulation B establishes administrative requirements for compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and, among other things, requires the Company to provide a customer whose credit request has been denied with a statement of reasons for the denial. Installment sales contracts eligible for inclusion in the GNMA Program are subject to credit underwriting requirements of the FHA or the VA. The Company is subject to the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which regulates the manner in which the Company collects payments on its installment sales contracts. The transportation and use of the Company's manufactured homes are subject to highway use laws, ordinances and regulations of various federal, state and local authorities. Such regulations may prescribe size and road use limitations and impose lower than normal speed limits and various other requirements. The Company's manufactured homes and its development of manufactured housing communities are also subject to local zoning and housing regulations. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act regulates the descriptions of warranties on products. The description and substance of the Company's warranties are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations. Insurance agency activities are subject to state insurance laws and regulations as determined by the particular insurance commissioner for each state in accordance with the McCarran-Ferguson Act. Sales practices are governed at both the federal and state level through various consumer protection trade practices and public accommodation laws and regulations. VPAC and VLAC are subject to insurance and other regulations of the British Virgin Islands. MSLC and ESLC are subject to insurance and other regulations of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Company's operations are subject to a variety of other statutes and regulations. COMPETITION The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive at the manufacturing, retail and finance levels in terms of price, service, delivery capabilities and product performance. There are many firms in direct competition with the Company. The Company believes it has a competitive advantage over firms in the industry that do not have manufacturing, retailing and financing capabilities. Since the Company's homes are a form of low-cost housing, they compete with other forms of such housing including apartments and site built homes. Historically, so long as the spread between mortgage interest rates for site built homes and those for manufactured housing remain within 3%, the Company has been able to remain competitive with site built homes. However, the combination of mortgage interest rates nearing a 40-year low, and the deterioration of the market for manufactured housing asset-backed securities causing the cost of funds for the asset-backed securities issued by the Company to rise, the spread between site built mortgage interest rates and manufactured housing rates are above 5% on some products. The resulting relatively smaller payment for the site built home, which is a product of both the lower rate and longer term, will generally attract the more qualified homebuyers and places manufactured housing at a competitive disadvantage. The capital requirements for entry into both the manufacturing and retail segments are relatively small. A major factor that limits entry into the sector is the scarcity of financing available to retail dealers, both for consumer sales financing and inventory purchases. Several national lenders, in the retail and wholesale sectors of the industry, have filed for bankruptcy protection or exited the industry leaving a financing vacuum. The scarcity of inventory financing availability creates pressure on manufacturing shipments, stifling any potential new entrants into the sector. The Company is not able to estimate the total number of competitors in its marketing area. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS Financial information with respect to the Company's operating segments is incorporated herewith by reference to item 8, Note 12, within this document. 10 EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 2003, the Company employed 6,661 persons. Of these, 2,041 were employed in retail, 3,368 in manufacturing, 708 in financial services, 443 in communities and 101 in corporate and administrative positions. The Company does not have any collective bargaining agreements and considers its employee relations to be good. OTHER The Company's website address is www.clayton.net.

The Company's Financial Services operations and executive offices are located near Knoxville, Tennessee in a wholly owned, two-story building with 135,000 square feet of space. The following table sets forth the properties that the Company uses for its manufacturing operations and locations of its manufactured housing communities. All of the buildings used for manufacturing operations are constructed of fabricated metal on a concrete slab.

The Company-owned retail centers are three to four acre sites with a special manufactured office unit serving as the sales office. The remainder of the retail center site is devoted to the display of homes. Of the 302 retail centers, the Company owns 164 and leases 138. The Company does not believe that any individual retail sales center property is material to its overall business. All of the properties described above are well maintained and suitable for the purposes for which they are being used. The Company believes that its properties are adequate for its near-term needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company and/or its former directors are currently engaged in merger-related litigation in state courts in both Delaware and Tennessee. On May 16, 2003, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Mark Blosser, an alleged shareholder of Clayton Homes, in the Delaware Chancery Court in New Castle County.

No matters were submitted to a vote to shareholders during the last quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. On July 30, 2003, a special shareholders' meeting was held to consider the merger between Clayton Homes, Inc. and a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. The majority of the shares outstanding, 52.4%, voted for the proposed merger. 13 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. (a) On August 7, 2003, the Company filed a certificate of merger with a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. with the Secretary of State of Delaware. In addition, on August 7, 2003, the NYSE suspended trading of the Company's common stock and subsequently delisted Clayton Homes, Inc. stock on October 8, 2003. However, for the entirety of the Company's Fiscal 2003, the Common Stock was traded on the NYSE. The following table sets forth, for fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively, the range of high and low closing sale prices as reported by the NYSE.

(b) On August 6, 2003, there were 8,541 holders of record (approximately 21,000 beneficial holders) of the Company's Common Stock. (c) Through the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2003, it was the policy of the Board of Directors of the Company to reinvest substantially all earnings in the business. At its April 2001 meeting, the Board of Directors changed the Company dividend policy from quarterly payments to an annual payment. The first annual dividend of 6.4 cents per share was paid in January 2002. The Company also paid an annual dividend of 6.4 cents per share in January 2003. 14 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

15 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company believes the following represents its critical accounting policies: REVENUE RECOGNITION. Retail sales are recognized when: 1) cash payment is received, or the approved down payment, either in the form of cash, trade equity or land, is received for credit sales and, subsequent to credit approval, the home buyer enters into an installment sales contract, and 2) the home buyer has inspected and accepted the completed home at the home buyer's site, and 3) title has passed to the home buyer. Sales of homes produced by the Company to independent retailers are recognized as revenue upon shipment if: 1) a) payment has been received; or b) a commitment is received from an approved wholesale lender that they will provide financing for the unit, and 2) title has passed to the retailer. Revenue from rental of home sites and homes is accrued and recognized based on the terms of the resident's lease agreement with the Company. Premiums from insurance policies represent short-duration contracts with terms of one to 10 years and are deferred and recognized as revenue over the terms of the policies. Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. (VMF), the Company's financing subsidiary, originates and sells installment contract and mortgage loan receivables (receivables), retaining the servicing thereon. It also provides servicing for investors in receivables on a contract basis. Interest income on receivables held, either for sale or as an investment, is recognized in accordance with the terms of the underlying installment contracts. For receivables sold with servicing retained and receivables serviced under servicing agreements, service fee income is recognized as the service is performed. Interest income on interest-only residual interests is recognized in accordance with the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force in its Issue No. 99-20 (EITF 99-20), Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Assets. Accordingly, interest income is recognized through an effective yield method, with the yield computed prospectively over the life of the residual interests after adjustments in the estimated cash flows are made to reflect prepayments, defaults and other factors. VALUATION OF RESIDUAL INTERESTS. The Company engages in securitization activities in connection with certain of its businesses. Gains and losses from securitizations are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the Company relinquishes control of the transferred financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The gain or loss on the sale of financial assets depends in part on the previous carrying amount of the assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based upon their respective fair values at the date of the sale. Interest-only securities are periodically valued using a discounted cash flow model. The future cash flows for the estimated life of each securitized pool are projected as the excess interest received from borrowers over the interest paid to the security holders, less contractual servicing fees and estimated credit losses, after giving effect to estimated prepayments. Estimates for prepayments, defaults, and losses are determined based on a model developed by the Company that considers both Company-specific experience and current economic conditions. The residual interests in the installment receivables sold are classified as available-for-sale securities. Accordingly, changes in fair market value are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) unless an other-than-temporary adverse change is determined. Any permanent impairment charges are reflected in net income. In September 2002, March 2003, and June 2003, other-than-temporary charges of $0.6 million, $2.1 million and $13.2 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of financial services revenues in relation to the Company's residual interests. The valuation of residual interests requires various assumptions and estimates. Any actual significant change in those original assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the Company's reported financial position and cash flows. RESERVES FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. Reserves for credit losses and contingent liabilities are established for receivables held for sale or investment and certain inventory. Actual credit losses are charged to the reserves when incurred. The reserves established for such losses are determined based on 16 the Company's historical loss experience after adjusting for current economic conditions. Management, in assessing the loss experience and economic conditions, adjusts reserves through periodic provisions. The Company also maintains a reserve for contingent liabilities related to guarantees of installment contract receivables sold with recourse. WARRANTY COSTS. The Company offers a limited one-year warranty for the homes it manufactures. Generally, the independent or Company-owned retailer performs the warranty repairs, with the costs being billed back to the originating Company manufacturing plant. Costs associated with any installed equipment or appliances are subsequently billed back to the original equipment manufacturer. For the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001, net warranty costs were 2.4%, 2.6%, and 2.9%, respectively, of manufacturing sales. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2002 Total revenues of $1.2 billion in 2003 were down 1% from 2002. Although sales of homes through retail and communities increased 2.7% to $674 million from $656 million, manufacturing sales to independent dealers decreased 18%, from $215 million to $175 million. This decrease is a result of negative economic conditions coupled with scarcity of consumer financing available to customers of independent dealers and the continuing overhang of foreclosed units cannibalizing sales of new and used homes due to the bankruptcy of certain large lenders. Total financial services revenues in 2003 were up 4% over 2002, while rental and other revenue remained flat. Total units sold declined 11% to 22,644 from 25,322 last year further reflecting the industry downturn. The shift toward multi section sales mitigated the 9% decline in total floors shipped to 34,201, down from 37,789 in the prior year. Of the 2,678 decline in units sold in 2003, 905 were used units, reflecting the cannibalization of sales and shelf space by the excessive foreclosed inventory. In the Manufacturing segment, total units shipped declined 20% in 2003. This decrease was primarily a result of negative economic conditions coupled with both the scarcity of consumer financing available to customers of independent dealers, and the continuing overhang of foreclosed units attributable to the bankruptcy of certain large lenders in the industry cannibalizing sales of new homes. A 20% decline in manufacturing shipments to independent retailers and an 8% decline in retail unit shipments was somewhat offset by a 20% increase in units sold within the communities segment. Gross profit margins on retail, manufacturing and communities sales increased slightly to 35.2% from 35.1%, primarily due to a higher rate of internalization of retail sales, improved efficiencies, and higher average retail and wholesale selling prices. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.6% and 27.0% of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The $4.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was partially attributable to additional volume-related selling costs in the retail and communities segment. In addition, approximately $1.4 million of the increase was due to fees and expenses related to the merger of the Company with a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. See "Subsequent Events". Operating income decreased to 15.2% of total revenues from 16.8% last year. Financial services operating expenses increased $1.6 million to $85 million. This increase can be primarily attributable to rising insurance-related costs. Additional costs associated with portfolio acquisitions were also a contributing factor. Provision for credit losses increased $18.6 million to $43.7 million, as compared to $25.1 million last year. The increase is due to the higher level of sell-through of foreclosed units in the acquired portfolios, coupled with lower recovery rates. The total number of contracts in foreclosure as a percentage of total contracts increased slightly to 1.9% from 1.8% last year. Interest expense (net of interest income) decreased $2.9 million to $1.4 million as compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year. The net decrease in expense was partially attributable to declining interest rates during the year, which had a negative impact on the value of the Company's interest rate swaps, offset by a $4.1 million gain recognized from the sale of investments. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, there was an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of $5.0 million relating to the swaps, as compared to a $3.3 million unfavorable adjustment in the same period last year. Income tax for the year ended June 30, 2003, was $66.4 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 37%. 17 RETAIL. Within the Retail segment revenues, the average number of homes sold per sales center decreased 9% and the total number of homes sold declined 8% to 14,626. Despite the decline in units sold, the group experienced a 1% increase in net sales to $623 million due to the larger proportion of new units sold this year over last year as well as a slightly greater mix of multi-section homes. The proportion of new units sold was 86% of the total number of units versus 80% new units sold last year. Same store dollar sales remained constant as compared to the prior year.

During the year, the Company opened 20 retail centers and closed five under-performing retail centers. The Company continually evaluates specific markets and opens, acquires or closes retail centers as conditions warrant. All of the 20 new openings were acquired. Four of the new retail centers were opened in the fourth quarter. MANUFACTURING. Within the Manufacturing segment revenues, the group experienced an 18% decline to $176 million in net sales to independent retailers and a 20% decrease in the number of homes sold to 6,575. This decline is primarily due to the lack of dependable financing for customers of our independent retailer network and the continuing presence of excess foreclosure inventory in the marketplace. The average number of independent retailers decreased 4% to 595. Manufacturing segment operating income decreased $9 million to $38 million from $47 million in the prior year. Capacity utilization decreased to 54%, as compared to 60% last year. On June 30, 2003, the order backlog for the Manufacturing group (consisting of Company-owned and independent retailer orders) decreased 3% to $22 million as compared to last year.

FINANCIAL SERVICES. Financial Services revenues decreased $2 million to $204 million, as insurance related revenues increased $7 million, primarily attributable to the impact of multi-year policies generated in prior periods. Non-insurance related revenues in 2003 declined $8 million despite the increase in the aggregate balance of loans serviced of 8%. The deterioration of the asset-backed securities (ABS) market for manufactured housing contributed to a reduced gain on sale amount as the increased retention of securitized bonds and wider spreads required by ABS investors combined to reduce the residual interest of new securitized pools. Receivable originations of $948 million and acquisitions with aggregate principal balances of approximately $732 million were completed during the year, bringing the total serviced portfolio to $5.5 billion. Inventory finance receivables increased $95 million to $139 million, as compared to $44 million in June 2002. This increase was due to acquisitions relating to the fact that competing lenders exited the manufactured housing finance sector. Loans sold through asset-backed security transactions (including those sold through the GNMA-sponsored program) totaled $1.2 billion in 2003. Of these, $90 million in securities were retained at the point of the transaction with $12.1 million sold later in the year. In 2002, $1.9 billion in loans were sold through asset-backed security transactions. Of these, 18 $19.1 million were retained at the point of the transaction with $9.1 million subsequently sold. Delinquency on the originated portfolio increased 38 basis points to 2.67%. Overall delinquency, including the serviced portfolio and the recent portfolio purchases, increased 15 basis points to 2.99%. Total Financial Services operating income decreased 6% to $117 million. Net credit losses for all contracts owned or purchased, including losses on securitized mortgages, as a percentage of loans outstanding for fiscal 2003 increased to 2.6% from 2.2%. This is principally the result of losses on portfolios acquired in 2002 and 2003. Many of these portfolios were purchased in anticipation of higher than normal losses, and were priced accordingly. For originated loans, losses as a percent of originated loan balances outstanding increased .2% from 2.1% for fiscal 2002 to 2.3% for fiscal 2003, which is reflective of the depressed recoveries due to the continuing presence of excess foreclosure inventory. The average outstanding balance of installment contract and mortgage receivables increased 27% to $663 million with a weighted average interest rate of 8.90%, down slightly from 9.03%. The average outstanding balance of receivables sold rose 10% to $4.5 billion. COMMUNITIES. Within the Communities segment revenues, net sales increased 27% to $51 million, the average home selling price increased 6%, and 20% more homes were sold as a result of certain promotional programs. Rental income for the group rose 5%. Segment operating income increased 2%. The Company added 1,295 sites during the year bringing the total to 22,677 sites at June 30, 2003.

FISCAL 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2001 Total revenues increased 4% to $1.2 billion, as manufactured housing sales increased 3% to $871 million, financial services income increased 11% to $252 million and rental and other income increased 2% to $75 million. Total units sold declined 3% to 25,322 from 26,215 last year as total floors shipped declined 1% to 37,789 from 38,171 in the prior year. A 10% decline in manufacturing shipments to independent retailers and a slight decline in retail unit shipments was, to a certain extent, offset by a 1% increase in units sold within the communities segment. Gross profit margins on retail, manufacturing and communities sales increased to 35.1% from 33.8%, primarily due to a higher rate of internalization of retail sales, improved efficiencies, and higher average retail and wholesale selling prices. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.0% and 26.6% of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Additional costs associated with portfolio acquisitions contributed to the increase. Financial services operating expenses increased $14.6 million primarily due to costs associated with portfolio acquisitions. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.8% from 14.8% last year. Provision for credit losses was $25.1 million (excluding $40.2 million that has been included in Financial Services revenue for 2002 related to the losses on securitized mortgages), as compared to $42.5 million last year. This combined increase was primarily due to the additional contracts in foreclosure from the same period for 2001. The total number of contracts in foreclosure as a percentage of total contracts decreased to 1.8% from 1.9% for 2001. Interest and other expense increased to $4.3 million. This increase was partially due to an overall declining interest rate outlook which adversely impacted the value of the Company's interest rate swaps. During the 19 fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, there was an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of $3.3 million relating to the swaps, as compared to a $2.1 million unfavorable adjustment in the same period for 2001. Income tax for the year ended June 30, 2002, was $72.9 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 37%. Conditions in the manufactured housing industry continued to be highly competitive at both the retail and wholesale levels. For fiscal 2002, the industry was faced with manufacturing over-capacity and too many retail centers. This competitive environment, as well as an increase in industry foreclosures and aging retail inventory, contributed to the idling and closing of manufacturing plants, and declining wholesale shipments resulting in significant closings of retail centers. RETAIL. Within the Retail segment, the group experienced a 5% increase in net sales to $616 million as the total number of homes sold decreased slightly to 15,877 and the average home price increased 5%. The average number of homes sold per sales center increased 5% as same store sales dollars increased 12%. The average number of Company-owned retail centers declined 5%. Retail segment operating income increased 12% to $32 million from $29 million last year.

During the year, the Company opened seven retail centers and closed 17 under-performing retail centers. The Company continually evaluates specific markets and opens, acquires or closes retail centers as conditions warrant. Of the seven new openings, six were acquired and one was a startup. Four of the new retail centers were opened in the fourth quarter. MANUFACTURING. Within the Manufacturing segment, the group experienced a 4% decline in net sales to independent retailers to $215 million, while the number of homes sold decreased 10% to 8,240. The average number of independent retailers decreased 8%. Manufacturing segment operating income increased 28% to $47 million from $37 million in the prior year. Capacity utilization increased to 60%, as compared to 57% last year. On June 30, 2002, the order backlog for the Manufacturing group (consisting of Company-owned and independent retailer orders) decreased 36% to $22 million, compared to $35 million last year.

FINANCIAL SERVICES. Revenues for the Financial Services segment increased $22 million to $206 million, primarily due to a larger servicing portfolio and improved spreads over last year. Insurance related revenues increased $4 million, primarily attributable to the impact of multi-year policies generated in prior periods. Receivable originations of $913 million and acquisitions of $1.2 billion were completed during the year, bringing the total serviced portfolio to $5.0 billion, an increase of 15% over the prior year. Inventory 20 finance receivables increased $37 million to $44 million, as compared to $7 million in June 2001. Loans sold through asset-backed securities totaled $1.9 billion, as compared to $886 million last year. Delinquency on the originated portfolio increased 17 basis points to 2.29%. Overall delinquency, including the serviced portfolio, increased 25 basis points to 2.84%. Total Financial Services operating income increased 31% to $125 million. The average outstanding balance of installment contract and mortgage receivables increased 19% to $520 million with a weighted average interest rate of 9.0%, down from 9.8%. The average outstanding balance of receivables sold rose 12% to $4.1 billion, and the weighted average loan service spread increased to 3.5% from 3.4%. Net credit losses, including losses on securitized mortgages, as a percentage of loans outstanding for fiscal 2002 increased to 2.2% from 1.8%. COMMUNITIES. Within the Communities segment revenues, net sales increased 2% to $40 million as the number of homes sold increased 1% and the average home selling price increased 1%. Communities rental income rose 2%. Segment operating income declined 1%. The Company added 261 sites during the year bringing the total to 21,382 sites at June 30, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company anticipated meeting cash requirements with cash flow from operations, revolving credit lines, a commercial paper sales facility, senior notes, and sales of installment contract and mortgage loan receivables and GNMA certificates. A concern of the Company is its ability to efficiently access global capital markets. In the past year the market for asset-backed certificates backed by manufactured home installment loans, such as those the Company has historically issued, has deteriorated such that the Company is unable to sell all of the certificates it creates. This inefficiency has forced the Company to retain unsold certificates with a cost basis of approximately $96 million at the end of 2003. At June 30, 2002, the Company held certificates costing approximately $21 million. During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company raised $1.2 billion through asset securitizations as compared to $1.8 billion in fiscal 2002. The origination and acquisition of installment contract receivables resulted in a net cash requirement of $1.68 billion in 2003 and $1.96 billion in 2002. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003, were $37 million as compared to $84 million at June 30, 2002. Cash used in operating activities was $102 million for the year ending June 30, 2003, as compared to $97 million provided by operating activities last year. The overall decline was primarily due to an additional $58 million being used for inventory finance receivables, an increase of $35 million in originations, a $20 million increase in income taxes paid, and an additional $74 million being retained from asset-backed securitization transactions. Cash used for investing activities was $266 million, as compared to $8 million last year. This change was largely due to a decline in the securitization of acquired contracts during the year. In 2002, contracts acquired exceeded the amount of acquired contracts that were included in securitizations by $105 million. For fiscal 2003, the amount that contracts acquired exceeded acquired contracts securitized increased to $429 million. In addition, $321 million in cash was provided by financing activities as compared to $53 million used in financing activities in the same period last year. The Company had restricted cash balances of $139 million at June 30, 2003, which includes trust account cash balances required by certain VMF servicing agreements, and insurance reserves required by ceding companies. The majority of the restricted cash balance represents funds held in accordance with certain servicing agreements that will be disbursed within 15 days of the end of the accounting period. 21 At June 30, 2003, and at June 30, 2002, the Company had debt outstanding of $459 million and $93 million, respectively. Debt outstanding principally consists of $368 million of long and short-term promissory notes, $75 million of privately issued senior notes, and $15 million of tax-exempt bonds. The Company's debt to total capital ratio increased to 25% as compared to 7% last year. A $1.875 billion line of credit is available with Berkshire Hathaway, with $368 million being utilized on June 30, 2003. Of the amount due Berkshire Hathaway, $318 million was secured by manufactured housing contracts with the remaining $50 million being unsecured. The notes to Berkshire Hathaway are due in March 2004. Short-term debt available consists of $90 million committed (including the aforementioned $50 million from Berkshire Hathaway) and $36 million uncommitted lines of credit. These lines of credit do not require collateral and are priced in relation to LIBOR. The committed credit lines are guaranteed by all significant subsidiaries of the Company and are governed by various financial covenants that require maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company has $75 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due December 30, 2003, which are primarily to facilitate the purchase, origination and warehousing of loan portfolios. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by all significant subsidiaries of the Company and are governed by various financial covenants that require maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 20, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants with the exception of a pledged debt covenant that, upon the effectiveness of the merger, was resolved. A $300 million one-year sales facility is available of which $150 million is committed. This facility was not utilized at June 30, 2003. Approximately $175 million in installment contract receivables were sold through the facility during the year. In addition, a committed one-year $150 million participation facility was also available to facilitate the future sale of manufactured housing contracts. This participation facility was not utilized at June 30, 2003, and expired in August 2003. In accordance with the agreements of the sales facility and participation facility, utilization of any unfunded commitment is permitted as long as certain criteria are met. The criteria for the sales facility include maintenance of minimum credit ratings, various financial covenants that require maintenance of certain ratios, and certain collateral characteristics. The minimum credit ratings required for funding under the sales facility are: S&P (BBB-), Moody's (Baa3) and Fitch (BB+). The criteria for the participation facility contain no minimum ratings criteria, but have financial covenants that require maintenance of certain ratios and certain collateral characteristics. At June 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with requirements requisite to accessing the sales and participation facilities. The current credit ratings for the company are: S&P (BBB), Moody's (Baa2) and Fitch (BB+). The Company owns its inventory; therefore, no floorplanning arrangements are necessary. The Company is the provider of limited guarantees in connection with its securitizations. The guarantees, totaling $425 million at June 30, 2003, are for payment of principal and interest due on certain subordinated certificates issued through securitizations for which the Company is also subservicer. These guarantees are limited to principal and/or interest payments due the subordinate bondholders. Other guarantees, totaling $70 million at June 30, 2003, are with respect to the Company's servicing obligations for those GNMA certificates for which it is servicer. The Company believes that the probability of its having to perform under these guarantees is remote. The following table summarizes the Company's significant contractual obligations and other contingencies as of June 30, 2003: 22

In fiscal 2003, the Company repurchased 2,441,900 shares of Company common stock for $30.9 million. The most recent repurchase was made on October 23, 2002. Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment consisted of approximately $16 million to expand, develop, or improve manufactured housing communities, $5 million for opening and upgrading Company-owned retail centers, $7 million for construction and improvement of manufacturing facilities, and $3 million for other fixed assets. For the next twelve months, the Company expects to originate approximately $900 million of installment contract and mortgage loan receivables and $35 million for inventory finance receivables. It also expects to purchase approximately $200 million in manufactured housing installment contract receivables from an affiliate and acquire loan receivables in bulk from banks or other commercial lenders with aggregate principal balances of approximately $300 million. It expects to invest approximately $16 million in acquisitions or construction of manufactured housing communities, $11 million for opening and upgrading Company-owned retail centers, $5 million for construction and improvement of manufacturing facilities, and $5 million for other fixed assets. MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on certain of its assets and liabilities. These instruments include certain installment contract receivables, residual interests in asset-backed securitizations and variable rate debt, which principally consists of revolving credit lines. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to minimize interest rate risk on certain credit lines, effectively converting these to fixed rate debt. Foreign currency and commodity price risk are not considered to have a material impact on the Company. The Company had variable interest rate installment contract receivables of approximately $3.3 million at June 30, 2003. Holding the outstanding principal amount constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates occurring on the first day of the year would result in an increase in cash flow for the coming year of approximately $19,000. Certain of the coupon rates on certificates payable to investors in asset-backed securities are based on variable interest rates. These certificates total $853 million at June 30, 2003. The balance of installment contract receivables with variable interest rate terms collateralizing these certificates was $642 million, 23 with the remainder having fixed interest rate terms. Holding the receivable balances constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates occurring on the first day of the year would result in a net decrease in cash flow for the coming year of approximately $4.9 million. Of the $459 million outstanding debt as of June 30, 2003, $65 million had terms that included variable interest rates that reset weekly. The remaining $394 million of outstanding debt had fixed interest rate terms. Holding the variable rate debt constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates occurring on the first day of the year would result in an increase in interest expense for the coming year of approximately $357,000, net of tax. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not presently anticipate any of the exit or disposal activities so the provisions of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for quarters ending after December 15, 2002, and the liability recognition is in effect for guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The Company has historically provided limited guarantees on certain certificates offered in conjunction with installment contract receivable securitization transactions for which it is issuer. These securitizations have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 140, and to the extent that the guarantee was issued, the fair value of that guarantee was considered in the calculation of the residual interest. The Company does not anticipate that the provisions of this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. The Company issued no guarantees during the six months ended June 30, 2003. In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus regarding EITF Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor. Issue No. 02-16 addresses the timing of recognition and classification of consideration received from vendors, including rebates and allowances. Issue No. 02-16 is effective for certain of our vendor rebates and allowances commencing in January 2003. The adoption of Issue No. 02-16 did not have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Company cancelled all stock option plans (See note 18 to the accompanying financial statements). Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that the provisions of this statement will have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE) to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to 24 provide certain disclosures. A VIE is an entity in which the equity investor does not have a controlling interest, or the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties. For arrangements entered into with VIEs created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company is currently reviewing its investments and other arrangements to determine whether any of its investee entities are VIEs. The company's maximum exposure related to any investment that may be determined to be in a VIE is limited to the amount invested. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into with new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The Company has not invested in any new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The Company is presently evaluating any significant VIEs that would be consolidated. In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including derivatives embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. This Statement 149 amends Statement 133 for certain decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) process. This Statement contains amendments relating to FASB Concepts Statement No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements, and FASB Statements No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities, No. 91 Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and No. 126, Exemption from Certain Required Disclosures about Financial Instruments for Certain Nonpublic Entities. The Company does not anticipate that the provisions of this statement will have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. EFFECTS OF INFLATION Inflation has had an insignificant impact on the Company during the past several years.

The agreement and plan of merger and the stockholders agreement relating to the merger of a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway with and into the Company were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 2, 2003 as exhibits to Form 8-K. On April 18, 2003, the preliminary proxy statement was filed with the SEC, and the definitive proxy statement was filed on June 12, 2003. At a special meeting of stockholders held on July 30, 2003 for purposes of voting on the proposed merger, a majority of the shares outstanding, 52.4%, voted in favor of the proposed merger. On August 7, 2003, the merger became effective with the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware. As of the date of this filing, the Company has incurred approximately $9.2 million of merger related expenses. In addition, on August 15, 2003, the Company paid approximately $19.1 million to purchase for cancellation those options to purchase common stock of the Company from all eligible option holders as described in Form SC-TO-I/A, Schedule to Tender Offer Statement, filed with the SEC on June 16, 2003. As a result of the purchase on that date, those options available to eligible option holders were cancelled. The Company is presently involved in litigation pertaining to merger related activities.

31 CLAYTON HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clayton Homes, Inc. and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a vertically integrated manufactured housing company headquartered near Knoxville, Tennessee. Employing approximately 6,700 people and operating in 32 states, the Company builds, sells, finances and insures manufactured homes. It also owns and operates residential manufactured housing communities. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the financial statements. See Note 12, Business Segment Information, for further details of intercompany activity. Revenue Recognition Sales of homes produced by the Company to independent retailers are recognized as revenue upon shipment if: 1) a) payment has been received; or b) a commitment is received from an approved wholesale lender that they will provide financing for the unit, and 2) title has passed to the retailer. Retail sales are recognized when: 1) cash payment is received, or the approved down payment, either in the form of cash, trade equity or land, is received for credit sales and, subsequent to credit approval, the home buyer enters into an installment sales contract, and 2) the home buyer has inspected and accepted the completed home at the home buyer's site, and 3) title has passed to the home buyer. Most of these installment sales contracts, which are normally payable over 84 to 360 months, are financed by Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. (VMF), the Company's financing subsidiary. In the case of retail customers, title passes at the point of acceptance of the delivered and installed product by the customer at their site. The site may be, and often is, a rental site in a manufactured housing community. Revenue from rental of Company-owned home sites and homes is accrued and recognized based on the terms of the resident's lease agreement with the Company. The Company acts as agent on physical damage, family protection and homebuyer protection plan insurance policies written by unaffiliated insurance companies (ceding companies) for the purchasers of manufactured homes. The insurance policies are in turn reinsured by certain subsidiaries of the Company. Premiums from policies represent short-duration contracts with terms of one to 10 years and are deferred and recognized as revenue over the terms of the policies. Claims expenses are recorded as insured events occur. Expenses are matched to revenue over the terms of the policies by means of deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs; such costs include commissions, premium taxes and ceding fees, which vary with and are directly related to the production of insurance policies. Installment Contract and Mortgage Receivables Installment contract and mortgage loan receivables (receivables) originated or purchased by VMF are generally sold into asset-backed security vehicles, which, in turn, issue certificates to investors. VMF retains the servicing and the residual interest associated with these instruments. Receivables held for sale are included in other receivables and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Certain of the receivables are purchased in bulk at a discount. The purchase discounts are allocated between discount and reserves for credit losses and contingent liabilities based on management's assessment of risks existing in the portfolio. Discounts are accreted over the life of the related portfolio using the interest method after giving consideration to anticipated prepayments. In the event such receivables are sold, discounts attributable to the sold receivables are recognized. Most of the receivables are with borrowers in the east, south and southwest portions of the United States and are collateralized by manufactured homes. Interest income on receivables held, either for sale or as an 32 investment, is recognized in accordance with the terms of the underlying installment contracts. For receivables sold with servicing retained and receivables serviced under servicing agreements, service fee income is recognized as the service is performed. Interest income on interest-only residual interests is recognized in accordance with the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force in its Issue No. 99-20 Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Assets (EITF 99-20). Accordingly, interest income is recognized through an effective yield method, with the yield computed prospectively over the life of the residual interests after adjustments in the estimated cash flows are made to reflect prepayments, defaults and other factors. The Company accrues for obligations related to cash collections arising from its own securitized receivables and receivables serviced under contract and remits these collections to the paying agent or trustee in accordance with the provisions of the servicing agreements. See Note 13, Other Assets and Liabilities. Retained Interests The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which utilizes a financial components approach to transfers and servicing of financial assets, requiring that the carrying amount of the receivables sold be allocated between the assets sold and the assets (liabilities) created, if any, based upon their estimated fair value at the date of sale. The assets (liabilities) created are: 1) an interest-only security or a residual liability valued as the discounted present value of the excess (deficiency) interest due the residual interest owner (VMF) during the expected life of the contracts over: i) the stated investor yield; ii) the contractual servicing fee; and iii) estimated credit losses; and 2) servicing asset (liability), representing the discounted present value of the excess of the contractual servicing fee over the cost of servicing the contracts plus a normal profit margin. Gain (loss) recorded at the time of the sale is computed as the difference between the allocated carrying amount of the receivables sold and the proceeds realized from the sale. Servicing assets are periodically evaluated on a transaction basis for impairment based on the fair value of those assets. The estimate of fair value assumes: 1) discount rates which, at the time the asset was created, approximate current market rates; and 2) expected prepayment rates based on loan prepayment experience for similar transactions. The servicing asset or liability is amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss. Interest-only securities represent the right to receive future cash flows from securitization transactions. Such cash flows generally are equal to the value of the excess of the principal and interest to be collected on the underlying receivables collateralizing each transaction over the sum of the principal and interest to be paid to the holders of the securities sold net of estimated credit losses and contractual servicing fee. The Company carries interest-only securities at estimated fair value. As market quotes are generally not available, fair value is determined by discounting the projected cash flows over the expected remaining life of the securities outstanding, on a transaction basis, using current prepayment, default, loss and interest rate assumptions. Estimates for prepayments, defaults, and losses are determined based on a model developed by the Company and refined to reflect Company-specific experience and trends as well as current market conditions. See Note 2, Securitizations. The residual interests in the installment receivables sold are classified as available-for-sale securities as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). In accordance with EITF 99-20, declines in fair value are to be considered other than temporary when: (i) the carrying value of the beneficial interests exceeds the fair value of such beneficial interests using current assumptions, and (ii) the timing and/or extent of cash flows expected to be received on the beneficial interests has adversely changed - as defined - from the previous valuation date. During the period ending June 30, 2003, the Company recognized $15.9 million of other than temporary charges as a reduction of financial services revenues in the income statement. The Company did not determine any declines in fair value to be permanent for the three-year period ending June 30, 2002. The Company follows SFAS No. 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise, which requires that the Company classify mortgage-backed securities retained after a securitization in accordance with SFAS 115. Accordingly, these securities, aggregating at $89.5 million, are classified as available-for-sale, are stated at fair value, and can be reasonably expected to mature in 3-11 years. Net unrealized holding gains and losses, 33 determined using a specific identification cost basis, are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until realized. See Note 4, Securities Available-For-Sale. Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Inventories New homes and raw materials are carried at the lower of cost or market, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation. Previously owned manufactured homes are recorded at estimated wholesale value (cost) but not in excess of net realizable value. The retail store manager, based on his experience in the local market, determines the value of the previously owned manufactured homes. Property, Plant and Equipment Land and improvements, buildings, and furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed currently. When depreciable assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in earnings for the period. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Those assets' estimated useful lives are summarized as follows: Land and improvements, 8 to 20 years; Buildings, 7 to 20 years; and Furniture and all other equipment, 3 to 7 years. The Company follows SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which superceded SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 144 requires recognition of impairment losses for long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances result in the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows associated with such assets. The measurement of the impairment losses recognized is based on the difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the assets. SFAS 144 also requires that long-lived assets held for sale be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company has not experienced any impairment losses. Accounts Payable Accounts payable includes checks written in excess of bank balances of $12,456,000 and $19,693,000 at June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, respectively. Reserves for Credit Losses and Contingent Liabilities Reserves for credit losses and contingent liabilities are established related to receivables held, either for sale or investment. Actual credit losses are charged to the reserves when incurred. The reserves established for such losses are determined based on the Company's historical loss experience after adjusting for current economic conditions. Management, in assessing the loss experience and economic conditions, adjusts reserves through periodic provisions. The Company also maintains a reserve for contingent liabilities related to guarantees of installment contract receivables sold with recourse. Interest Rate Swaps The Company uses interest rate swaps to assist in minimizing interest incurred on its short-term variable rate debt. The difference between amounts received and amounts paid under such agreements is recorded as a reduction of, or addition to, interest expense as incurred over the life of the swap. The Company follows SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. See Note 6, Debt Obligations. 34 Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily represents: 1) trust account cash balances required by certain VMF servicing agreements, and 2) insurance reserves required by ceding companies. The majority of the restricted cash balance represents funds held in accordance with certain servicing agreements that will be disbursed within 15 days of the end of the accounting period. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Accumulated other comprehensive income is presented net of income taxes and is comprised of unrealized gains and temporary losses on securities available-for-sale, as described under Retained Interests. Shipping and Handling Costs The estimated shipping and handling costs for the transportation of the home from the manufacturing facility to either a Company-owned or independent retail center are included as an item on the invoice to the retailer and are reflected as part of net sales revenues. The actual costs incurred are included as cost of sales. Warranty Costs The Company offers a limited one-year warranty for the homes it manufactures. Generally, the independent or Company-owned retailer performs the warranty repairs, with the costs being billed back to the originating Company manufacturing plant. Costs associated with any installed equipment or appliances are subsequently billed back to the original equipment manufacturer. For the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001, net warranty costs were 2.4%, 2.6%, and 2.9%, respectively, of manufacturing sales. Management 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates may include, but are not limited to, certain revenue and expense accruals, timing and frequency of foreclosures, rates of recovery on foreclosures, the timing and rate of voluntary prepayments and interest rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Other Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 and the 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not presently anticipate any of the exit or disposal activities so the provisions of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. 35 In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for quarters ending after December 15, 2002, and the liability recognition is in effect for guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The Company has historically provided limited guarantees on certain certificates offered in conjunction with installment contract receivable securitization transactions for which it is issuer. These securitizations have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 140, and to the extent that the guarantee was issued, the fair value of that guarantee was considered in the calculation of the residual interest. The Company does not anticipate that the provisions of this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. The Company issued no guarantees during the quarters ending March 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus regarding EITF Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor. Issue No. 02-16 addresses the timing of recognition and classification of consideration received from vendors, including rebates and allowances. Issue No. 02-16 is effective for certain of our vendor rebates and allowances commencing in January 2003. The adoption of Issue No. 02-16 did not have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the company cancelled all stock option plans (see note 18 to these financial statements). Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that the provisions of this statement will have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE) to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A VIE is an entity in which the equity investor does not have a controlling interest, or the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties. For arrangements entered into with VIEs created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company is currently reviewing its investments and other arrangements to determine whether any of its investee entities are VIEs. The company's maximum exposure related to any investment that may be determined to be in a VIE is limited to the amount invested. Other risks include balance sheet effect. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into with new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The Company has not invested in any new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The Company is presently evaluating any significant VIEs that would be consolidated. In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including derivatives embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. This Statement 149 amends Statement 133 for certain decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) process. This Statement contains amendments relating to FASB Concepts Statement No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements, and FASB Statements No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities, No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and No. 126, Exemption from Certain Required Disclosures about Financial Instruments for Certain Nonpublic Entities. The Company does not anticipate that the provisions of 36 this statement will have a material impact on the reported results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. NOTE 2 - SECURITIZATIONS The Company accessed capital through asset-backed securitization activities in connection with certain of its businesses. Subsequent to the securitization of receivables, the Company continues to maintain account relationships and provide servicing for those receivables transferred. As Seller and Servicer, the Company retains residual interests that were created as a result of its securitization activity. The Company estimates the fair value of the retained interests by using discounted expected future cash flows that incorporate key assumptions including prepayment speed and credit losses. The valuation of retained interests is affected by the projected level and timing of prepayments of principal and net credit losses. Should actual timing or level of losses differ materially from the Company's projections, it could have a material effect on the valuation of the Company's retained interests. There were three securitization transactions completed during 2003, and four transactions during 2002. Each transaction establishes a trust, which issues certificates representing ownership in that trust. Although there are some differences, structure provisions are generally the same for each issue. The structures call for time tranched senior and subordinated classes of securities. Additional credit support is provided by excess spread and, in some cases, over collateralization. The Company also provides additional credit support by placing a limited guarantee on certain of the subordinated certificates. See Note 11, Commitment and Contingencies. The Company accounts for the transactions as sales and records any gains or losses in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 140. Certain data pertaining to securitizations completed during 2003, 2002, and 2001, including the key economic assumptions used to measure the retained interests created, are as follows:

37 Key economic assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value of the retained interests in securitizations and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:

The sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and should be used with caution. For instance, changes in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in a particular assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. In addition, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption, when in reality, changes in any one factor may result in changes in another factor. The following table summarizes certain cash flow activity with respect to securitizations in 2003, 2002, and 2001:

Total contracts serviced at June 30, 2003, and 2002, including contracts held for investment, had aggregate principal balances of approximately $5.5 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively. Managed receivables at June 30, 2003, and the related receivables past due at least 90 days are as follows:

38 Changes related to the servicing assets during the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001, are as follows:

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES Inventories at June 30, 2003, and 2002, are as follows:

If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used, inventories would have been higher by $23,800,000 and $20,500,000 at June 30, 2003, and 2002, respectively. NOTE 4 - SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE Securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2003, and 2002, are as follows:

The unrealized gain and loss, net of tax, are recorded as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income. The residual interests in installment contract receivables does not include over collateralization of $36,996,000 and $35,675,000 as of June 30, 2003, and 2002, respectively. NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2003, and 2002, are as follows:

The Company entered into capital lease arrangements in fiscal 2002 for computer related equipment valued at $568,000. The remaining contractual obligation as of June 30, 2003, was $216,000, all due in fiscal 2004. 39 NOTE 6 - DEBT OBLIGATIONS Debt obligations at June 30, 2003, and 2002, are summarized as follows:

Annual maturities of debt as of June 30, 2003, are: 2004 - $443,568,000; 2005 - $134,000; 2006 - $35,000; 2008 - $4,030,000; $11,280,000 after 2008. The Company has $75 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due December 30, 2003, which are primarily to facilitate the purchase, origination and warehousing of loan portfolios. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by all significant subsidiaries of the Company and are governed by various financial covenants that require maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants with the exception of a pledged debt covenant that, upon the effectiveness of the merger, was resolved. A $300 million one-year sales facility is available of which $150 million is committed. This facility was not utilized at June 30, 2003. Approximately $175 million in installment contract receivables were sold through the facility during the year. In addition, a committed one-year $150 million participation facility is also available to facilitate the future sale of manufactured housing contracts. This participation facility was not utilized at June 30, 2003, and expired in August 2003. In accordance with the agreements of the sales facility and participation facility, utilization of any unfunded commitment is permitted as long as certain criteria are met. The criteria for the sales facility include maintenance of minimum credit ratings, various financial covenants that require maintenance of certain ratios, and certain collateral characteristics. The minimum credit ratings required for funding under the sales facility are: S&P (BBB-), Moody's (Baa3) and Fitch (BB+). The criteria for the participation facility contain no minimum ratings criteria, but have financial covenants that require maintenance of certain ratios and certain collateral characteristics. At June 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with requirements requisite to accessing the sales and participation facilities. The current credit ratings for the company are: S&P (BBB), Moody's (Baa2) and Fitch (BB+). The Company owns its inventory; therefore, no floorplanning arrangements are necessary. In addition, the Company has committed and uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $76 million with several banks, which bear interest in relation to LIBOR. These lines were unused at June 30, 2003. These lines are subject to periodic review by each bank and may be canceled by the Company at any time. A $1.875 billion line of credit is available with Berkshire Hathaway, with $368 million being utilized on June 30, 2003. Of the amount due Berkshire Hathaway, $318 million was secured by manufactured housing contracts with the remaining $50 million being unsecured. Effective rates of interest range from 2.165% to 6.15%. The notes are due March 2004. Under certain interest rate swap agreements, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. At June 30, 2003, the Company's interest rate swap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $75 million. The interest rates on the notional amounts range from 5.44% to 5.62%. At June 30, 2003, the fair value of the swap agreement was $10.7 million as compared to $5.7 40 million in the prior year. As a result, there was a $5.0 million negative adjustment recorded for the swaps in the period ending June 30, 2003. NOTE 7 - RESERVES FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Analysis of the reserves for credit losses on installment contract receivables and contingent liabilities for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001, is as follows:

The reserves for credit losses are netted against receivables and the reserve for contingent liabilities is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is contingently liable as guarantor on installment contract receivables sold with recourse. At June 30, 2003, and 2002, the outstanding principal balances of these receivables totaled approximately $70 million and $68 million, respectively. There were $15 million of receivables sold with recourse in 2003. There were no receivables sold with recourse in 2002 and 2001. NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock Option Plan In 1983, 1985, 1991, and 1997, the Company established Stock Option Plans for a total of 17,021,036 shares of common stock, which provide for granting "incentive stock options" or "non-qualified options" and stock appreciation rights to officers and key employees of the Company. In addition, non-management members of the Board of Directors were, with shareholder approval of prices and provisions for exercise, granted options to purchase shares of common stock. The option prices were established at not less than the fair market value as of the date of grant. Options were exercisable after one or more years and expired no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Activity and price information regarding the plans are as follows: 41

Options available for future grant at June 30, 2003, and 2002, were 2,786,594 and 3,317,696, respectively. 1,010 persons held options at June 30, 2003. The following table summarizes information about the plans' stock options at June 30, 2003, including weighted average remaining life (Life) and weighted average exercise price (Price):

In accordance with the guidance provided by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company has elected to continue following the intrinsic value based method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is computed as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date over the amount the grantee must pay to acquire the stock. Because all option plans provided for grants at market price, there is no intrinsic value in the stock options on the grant date, therefore no compensation cost is recognized. SFAS 123 describes the fair value method of measuring and recording compensation cost as an alternative to the intrinsic value based method. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the computed fair value of the grant and is recognized over the vesting period of the options. SFAS 123 also requires that companies using the intrinsic value based method must present pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been applied. The pro forma results do not purport to indicate the effects on reported net income for recognizing compensation expense that is expected to occur in future years. If the options had been expensed in the current year, the pro forma results would have been: 42

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants issued from 2001 to 2003: dividend yields ranging from 0.43% to 0.84% with a weighted average yield of 0.65%; expected volatility of 45.69%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.63% to 5.40% with a weighted average rate of 4.49%; and expected lives ranging from 9.86 to 10.00 years with a weighted average life of 9.95 years. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $6.85, $7.15, and $4.53 per share, respectively. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission final release no. 33-8048, the table provided below represents the equity compensation plan disclosure in aggregate. All information presented below is reported at June 30, 2003.

Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Company cancelled all stock option plans. See note 18 to these financial statements. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2003, and 2002, are as follows:

The provisions for income taxes for each of the years ending June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001 are composed of the following: 43

At June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001, a deferred tax provision (benefit) of ($1,718,000), ($665,000), and $5,656,000, respectively, was allocated directly to shareholders' equity for the unrealized gain (loss) on residual interests and securities available-for-sale. The provision for income tax reflected in the financial statements differs from income taxes calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% in 2003, 2002 and 2001, as follows:

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all employees who meet participation requirements. The amount of the Company's contribution is discretionary as determined by the Board of Directors, up to the maximum deduction allowed for federal income tax purposes. Company contributions accrued and paid were $4,042,000, $4,708,000, and $2,938,000 for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Certain operating properties are rented under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2010. Total rental expense under operating leases was $5,360,000 in 2003, $5,080,000 in 2002, and $5,280,000 in 2001. Minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases primarily for retail centers, in effect at June 30, 2003, were:

The following table summarizes the Company's other contingencies as of June 30, 2003:

At June 30, 2003, the Company has letters of credit, primarily related to insurance reserves and performance guarantees related to asset-backed securitizations outstanding for which the Company provides a limited guarantee. The Company believes a significant loss from any such guarantee is remote. See Note 7 for discussion of guarantees on installment contract receivables. Institutions financing independent retailer purchases require the Company to execute repurchase agreements. As a result of these agreements, the Company is contingently liable for repurchasing homes in the event of a default by the dealer to the lending institution. These agreements are customary in the manufactured housing industry, and the Company's losses in the past have not been significant. 44 NOTE 12 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has identified four major business segments: Retail, Manufacturing, Financial Services, and Communities. The Retail group purchases homes from the Company's manufacturing operations and third party manufacturers to sell to retail customers. The Manufacturing group builds homes for Company-owned and independent retailers. Financial Services provides retail financing of manufactured homes, reinsures risk on family protection, physical damage, and homebuyer protection plan insurance policies, and offers certain specialty finance products. The Communities group owns and operates manufactured housing communities. Income from operations consists of total revenues less cost of sales and operating expenses. Identifiable assets are used in the operation of each business segment. The sales of units shipped to the Retail sales centers from the Manufacturing facilities are eliminated in the intersegment sales line of the Revenues section. The Eliminations/other line as represented below includes other intercompany eliminations required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Information concerning operations by business segment follows: 45

46 NOTE 13 - OTHER ASSETS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES At June 30, 2003, and 2002, other assets and liabilities consisted of:

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose the estimated fair values of its financial instruments. The following methodologies and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. The estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale in a single transaction the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. The lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values. Comparability to financial instruments between similar companies may not be reasonable because of varying assumptions concerning the estimates of fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, including those restricted by agreement, approximate the fair value of the assets. Contracts Held For Sale and as Collateral Contracts held for sale are generally recent originations or purchased portfolios. The Company estimates the fair value of the contracts held for sale using expected future cash flows of the portfolio discounted at the current origination rate. The carrying values of contracts pledged as collateral to long-term lenders are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar contracts. The carrying amount of contracts with a variable rate of interest is estimated to be fair value. The carrying value of accrued interest adjusted for credit risk equals its fair value. Debt Collateralized by Installment Contract Receivables Debt collateralized by installment contract receivables consists primarily of notes due in March 2004. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities using a discounted cash flow calculation. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are as follows: 47

NOTE 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following reconciliation details the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods:

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company maintains an agreement to purchase certain installment contract receivables originated or acquired by an affiliate, 21st Mortgage Corporation ("21st"), in which the Company maintains a 50% ownership interest. 21st, a Delaware Corporation headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, acts as servicer for those receivables it originates or acquires. Certain of the receivables originated or acquired by 21st were securitized along with other receivables originated and acquired by the Company. The Company is servicer for such receivables and maintains a subservicing agreement with 21st to sub-service those receivables it sold to the Company. The amount paid to the affiliate in fiscal 2003 to sub-service those receivables was $37,600,000. The Company acquired approximately $286,000,000, $190,000,000, and $110,000,000 in installment contract receivables from the affiliate and received interest and other related fees from the affiliate totaling approximately $3,419,000, $2,232,000, and $1,880,000 during fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. On December 21, 2001, the Company acquired approximately $900 million of installment contract receivables. 21st was contracted to service approximately $450 million of these installment contract receivables. At June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the affiliate was servicing installment contract receivables for the Company totaling approximately $1,144,035,000, $1,016,088,000 and $444,495,000, respectively.
