The reincorporation was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's annual meeting on August 14, 2003, and was effectuated on September 29, 2003.

The reincorporation was accomplished by the merger of the Company with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, United Mobile Homes, Inc., a Maryland corporation, which was the surviving corporation in the merger.
