<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April 2002, one of our subsidiaries issued
$150&nbsp;million of Senior Notes due 2007 with interest payable semi-annually at an
annual rate of 11.25%. These notes contain covenants, which among other things
limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue additional redeemable
preferred stock, pay dividends on or repurchase common stock, make certain
investments and incur liens on assets. The debt incurrence covenant in the
notes currently limits additional debt to a working capital line of credit up
to a borrowing base equal to 60% of otherwise unencumbered inventories and 75%
of otherwise unencumbered accounts receivable; warehouse financing meeting
certain parameters up to $200&nbsp;million; other debt up to $30&nbsp;million; and
ordinary course indebtedness that includes non-speculative hedging obligations,
floor plan financing, letters of credit, surety bonds, bankers&#146; acceptances,
repurchase agreements related to retailer floor plan financing and guaranties
of additional debt otherwise permitted to be incurred. The resulting effect at
June&nbsp;29, 2002, on our working capital line of credit is a limit of
approximately $125&nbsp;million of which no more than approximately $95&nbsp;million
could be secured debt.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April 2002, we
also arranged a $150&nbsp;million warehouse facility using a
Receivables Purchase Agreement executed by and among GSS HomePride Corp., a
consolidated third party special purpose entity; HomePride Finance Corp., an
indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Champion Enterprises, Inc.; The CIT
Group/Sales Financing, Inc.; Greenwich Funding Corp.; and Credit Suisse First
Boston, New York Branch. Other financial institutions may be added to the
facility as lenders in the future. HomePride Funding Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of HomePride Finance Corp., acquires consumer loans from HomePride
Finance Corp., then may sell such loans to GSS HomePride Corp. Under the
warehouse facility, GSS HomePride Corp. sells pools of these consumer loans to
Greenwich Funding Corp. and/or Credit Suisse First Boston in exchange for 76%
to 78% of the face value of the loans plus specified residual interests in cash
flows from the loans. GSS HomePride Corp. also retains various take-out rights
through which it may repurchase loans sold through the facility.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GSS HomePride Corp. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Securitization
Services, LLC, an unrelated Delaware limited liability company. GSS HomePride
Corp. is a bankruptcy-remote entity that takes title to the loans it purchases
and is able to sell them, unencumbered, to Greenwich Funding Corp. and/or CSFB.
As such, GSS HomePride Corp. facilitates Greenwich Funding Corp. and CSFB
taking clear title to the consumer loans. HomePride Finance Corp. and The CIT
Group/Sales Financing, Inc. are party to the facility in their capacities as
consumer loan servicer and sub-servicer, respectively. Greenwich Funding Corp.
is the lending conduit that is designed to finance the warehouse facility
borrowings through commercial paper issuance. Credit Suisse First Boston, New
York Branch, provides back-up lending to Greenwich Funding Corp. and serves as
Agent of the facility.

</FONT>



<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The warehouse
facility has a term of one year and contains covenants that
require our maintenance of minimum interest coverage ratios and
tangible net worth, as defined therein; certain minimum unsecured debt ratings
from two of the national ratings agencies; and that we perform certain
other duties thereunder. In the third quarter of 2002, the consolidated third
party special purpose entity entered into waiver agreements to cure
noncompliance with the minimum interest coverage ratio covenant for the quarter
ended June&nbsp;29, 2002 and to cure noncompliance with, and lower, the minimum
tangible net worth covenant requirement through September&nbsp;29, 2002.

</FONT>


<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will need to obtain amendments to the
performance covenants of the $150&nbsp;million warehouse facility in order to ensure
our continuing compliance and we expect to obtain such amendments by
September 28, 2002. If we cannot obtain such
amendments, we would be in default under the facility. Also, if our operating results do not
improve we may again not comply with one or more of
the covenants, which, if not cured or amended, would result in default under
the facility. In an event of default, the agent bank could discontinue making
further advances under the facility and enact alternate &#147;waterfall&#148; provisions
that would reduce or eliminate current payments to the consolidated
third party special purpose entity from the underlying consumer loans. If the
agent were to discontinue further advances, we would seek other
sources of capital for its consumer finance operations.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September 2002, Moody&#146;s
Investors Service (&#147;Moody&#146;s) placed a negative
outlook on our senior implied credit rating and the ratings on our Senior Notes due
2007 and Senior Notes due 2009. This rating action,
combined with an amendment entered into by the consolidated third party special
purpose entity on the $150&nbsp;million warehouse facility in September 2002,
triggered a reduction in the loan selling price range under the $150&nbsp;million
warehouse facility from 83% to 85% down to 76% to 78%. As a result,
for every $10 million of loans sold by GSS HomePride Corp. into the
warehouse facility, initial proceeds will be $700,000 less than before the
loan selling price range reductions. In August 2002,
Standard &#038; Poor&#146;s announced that they have placed under review, for possible
downgrade, our senior implied credit rating and the ratings on our  Senior Notes due 2007
and Senior Notes due 2009. A negative rating
action by either Moody&#146;s or Standard &#038; Poor&#146;s could cause a default under the
$150&nbsp;million warehouse facility. A negative ratings action also could affect
our ability to obtain or maintain various forms of business credit,
including but not limited to letters of credit, surety bonds, trade payables
and floor plan financing, or could result in our having to place
additional collateral related thereto.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a $15&nbsp;million
floor plan financing facility that contains
a covenant requiring us to maintain minimum earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined. We expect not to
be in compliance with this covenant for the quarter ending September&nbsp;28, 2002
and we are seeking an amendment to cure the noncompliance. We expect
to obtain this amendment by September 28, 2002. If we do not
obtain such amendment, the lender could terminate the credit line and cause the
debt to become immediately due and payable. As of July&nbsp;31,
2002, we had approximately $1.7&nbsp;million outstanding under this facility.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In August 2002, our largest
surety bond provider notified us that it is no longer willing to
support our surety bond needs at the current level or terms. The related
surety bonds total $20.8&nbsp;million as collateral for our self-insurance
program and approximately $14.2&nbsp;million for general operating
purposes. We have previously provided $9.6&nbsp;million of cash
collateral and $3.1&nbsp;million of letter of credit collateral in
support of these surety bonds. We have proposed a collateral increase
in order to retain these surety bond programs with the current
provider. If we cannot retain our current provider, we will seek alternative
providers. The inability to retain our current provider or obtain
alternative bonding sources could have a
negative impact on our liquidity of up to $22 million.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In response to continued
negative information about the economy, consumer
and floor plan financing availability for the industry, high industry
repossession levels, recent reductions in industry shipments and incoming order
rates at our manufacturing facilities, on August&nbsp;8, 2002, we announced the
closing or consolidation of 64 retail sales centers and seven homebuilding
facilities across the country. These closures represent 35% of our current
retail operations and 15% of our manufacturing facilities. The closure of 64
additional retail locations reduces the total number of our retail locations
to 117. Third quarter pre-tax charges for the retail and
manufacturing closures will total approximately $44.1&nbsp;million, consisting
primarily of non-cash fixed asset impairment charges of $24.5&nbsp;million,
inventory write downs of $6.8&nbsp;million, severance costs of $4.3&nbsp;million,
additional warranty costs of $3.5&nbsp;million, and retail lease termination and
other costs of $5.0&nbsp;million. As a result of these closures, employee
reductions are estimated at 1,500, or 15% of the total workforce.

the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock, and the warrant issued in connection with the issuance of the Series C
Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
first amended and restated certificate of rights and
preferences relating to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the certificate
of rights and preferences relating to the Series
C Preferred Stock, the warrant certificate dated as of April 2, 2002,
respectively, and each of our agreements dated as of June 29, 2001 and March

SEC on April 5, 2002. The following description presents all of the
material provisions of the applicable certificate of rights and
preferences and the warrant certificate.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cumulative dividends are
payable on the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock
quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate is 5% per annum, based on the stated
value of $1,000 per share of Series B-1 or Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to
certain conditions specified in the certificate of rights and preferences for
each series, dividends payable on the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock
may be paid at our option either in cash or by issuing shares of our registered
common stock. The number of shares of our common stock to be issued as dividends
is determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend otherwise payable by
the market value of the common stock determined in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable certificate of rights and preferences. If we fail
to pay any dividends when due, those dividends will accumulate and accrue
additional dividends at the then existing dividend rate.

accumulated dividends on the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock
have been paid in full and dividends for the next four dividend periods have
been designated and set aside, and for all outstanding shares of
Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock, an additional dividend is
paid such that the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock
participate on an as converted basis, we will not declare as pay any
dividends on
our common stock or any other of our securities ranking junior to the Series B-1

liquidation or having a priority equal to the Series B-1 or Series C Preferred
Stock with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation ("Parity
Securities"), except for dividends on any Series B Preferred Stock or the Series

shares of stock ranking junior or having an equal priority may be purchased or
otherwise redeemed by us.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we are in arrears in
the payment of dividends on any Series B or Series C
Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount equal to more than two quarterly
dividends, the dividend rate on the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock will
be 15% per annum until all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in
full. We are currently not in arrears in the payment of dividends on
any Series B or Series C Preferred Stock.

after the payment or provision for payment of all of our
debts and other liabilities and the liquidation preference of any senior securities,
the holders of the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock
will be entitled to receive the greater of (1) $1,000 per share plus accrued but
unpaid dividends before the holders of any junior securities receive any payment
or (2) the amount the holders would have received if the holders had converted
all outstanding shares of Series B-1 or Series C Preferred Stock into common
stock immediately prior to the date of the liquidation. The holders of all of
our other capital stock junior to the Series B-1 and Series C Preferred Stock,

liquidating distributions.

holder converted or redeemed its preferred stock into common stock immediately
before the transaction, (b) shares of common stock of the acquiring person or
its parent company, as elected by the holders, according to formulas contained
in the appropriate certificate of rights and preferences, which take into
account various factors, including the acquisition price for our common stock,
the conversion price for the Series B-1 or Series C Preferred Stock, as
applicable, the redemption amount for the Series B-1 or Series C Preferred
Stock, as applicable, the market price of the common stock of the acquiring
person or its parent, and the market price of our common stock, or (c) cash in
an amount equal to 133% of the stated value of the Series B-1 or Series C

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented on a continual
basis to describe a specific plan of distribution. In effecting sales,
broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in the resales. The selling shareholder may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers relating to distributions
of the shares or other transactions, but may not engage in short sales. The
selling shareholder may enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares.
The broker-dealer may then resell or transfer these shares through this
prospectus. The selling shareholder may also loan or pledge the shares to a
broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the shares which are loaned, or upon
a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares by use of this
prospectus. Some or all of the shares offered in this prospectus also may be
sold to or through an underwriter or underwriters. Any shares sold in that
manner will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be
resold at different times in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale. These shares may be offered to the public through
underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or may
be offered to the public directly by one or more underwriters. Any public
offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or disallowed or paid
to dealers may be changed at different times.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholder.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the
purchasers of the shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as
principals, or both. Compensation for or to a particular underwriter or
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in
amounts to be negotiated at the time of the sale. Underwriters, broker-deals
or agents and any other participating broker-deals or the selling shareholders
may be considered to be underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the
Securities Act relating to the sales of the shares. Underwriters are defined
in this section as any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view to,
or offers or sells for an issuer in connection with, the distribution of any
security, or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any
undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect
underwriting of any undertaking. Any commission, discount or concession
received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them
may be considered to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. Because selling shareholders may be considered to be
underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the
selling shareholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act. Neither the delivery of any prospectus, or any prospectus
supplement, nor any other action taken by Champion, the selling shareholder or
any purchaser relating to the purchase or sale of shares under this prospectus
shall be considered or treated as an admission that any of them is an
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act relating to the sale of
any shares. Additionally, any securities covered by this prospectus that
qualify for sale through Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act may be sold under
Rule&nbsp;144 rather than through this prospectus.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities law. Additionally, in
some states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

the selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act,
