     The registrant’s press release issued February 18, 2004, contains a table that presents loss from continuing operations before certain listed items. The listed items are closing-related expenses, goodwill impairment charges, severance costs, warrant mark-to-market charges, debt retirement gains and losses and income tax benefits and charges. Management believes that the loss from continuing operations before these listed items is useful in understanding the results of the registrant’s core operations of producing and selling manufactured houses.
