Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies,
operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and
objectives of management, markets for the Company’s common stock and other matters. Statements in this
presentation that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor
provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act.  Forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation those relating to our future business prospects, revenues and income, wherever they
occur in this presentation, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management, at the
time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements.  The Company does not undertake to
update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking
statements are made.  You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important
factors, including those set forth in this presentation and the Company’s SEC filings.

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results
and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include pricing
pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel and
related components, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin), availability of retail and wholesale financing for
manufactured homes, availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, levels of
repossessed manufactured homes, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, the decline in the
manufactured housing industry, the financial condition of our customers, retention of significant customers, interest
rates, oil and gasoline prices, the outcome of litigation, and adverse weather conditions impacting retail sales. In
addition, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence may affect the retail sale of
recreational vehicles and manufactured homes.

Manufactured Housing (MH) Market

Cost per sq. ft. is $39 for MH vs.
$91 for site-built homes

Average retail price of $62,300
for a 1,595 sq. ft. MH

9 million manufactured homes
across the U.S.

Strong Growth
Prospects

Improved quality, appearance and safety

Studies have shown that MH built since 1995 sustain no more
damage in hurricanes than site-built homes

Industry production down 69% from 1998 to 2006, but Drew’s
MH sales are up 13% and segment operating profit is down only
20%

Page 22

 

MH: Industry Trends

Low inventory levels at retail dealers

Slowing of repossessions

Conventional financing now more common
than chattel financing

Improved industry lending practices should
lead to fewer repossessions

Berkshire Hathaway acquired Clayton,
Oakwood, Southern Energy and 21st
Mortgage; raised more than $8 billion for MH
financing

Strong Growth
Prospects

MH: Strong Future

Baby Boomers retire and
relocate to warmer climate

Affordability

Home appreciation due to
greater ownership of land
along with home

Possible rebuilding of
hurricane-damaged areas
during late 2007

Improved industry image
