NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(11) Discontinued Operations

On March 30, 2005, Fleetwood announced plans to exit its manufactured housing retail and financial services businesses and completed the sale of the majority of the assets of these businesses by August 2005. The decision to exit these businesses was intended to stem losses sustained in the retail operations. The return to a traditional focus on manufacturing operations was part of Fleetwood’s stated goal of making the transition to sustained profitability.

Operating results of these businesses, including impairment charges, are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
