1    The beneficial ownership reported hereunder includes 468,904 shares held by
     ReliaStar Life Insurance Company, 40,837 shares held by ReliaStar Life
     Insurance Company of New York, 81,432 shares held by Security Connecticut
     Life Insurance, each of which are indirect subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V.,
     and 102,093 shares (the "Shares") are held by Washington Square Advisers
     Private Placement Trust Fund, 45.12% of which is owned by various
     subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. ReliaStar Investment Research, Inc., an
     indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., has voting and investment power with
     respect to the Shares. None of the beneficial ownership reported hereunder
     is held directly by ING Groep N.V.

2    In its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
     on November 1, 2002, American Homestar Corporation (the "Company") reported
     that 10,000,000 shares of its Series C common stock were issued and
     outstanding, of which 3,922,280 shares were issued and outstanding and
     6,077,720 were "deemed issued, outstanding and held in constructive trust
     for the benefit of shareholders to be determined in name and amount as the
     claims process is completed." We recently learned from a Schedule 13G filed
     with the SEC that Craig A. Reynolds, Executive Vice President and CFO of
     the Company, stated that 4,869,250 shares of the Company's Series C common
     stock have now been issued to specific shareholders with allowed claims
     under confirmed Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Company
     and its subsidiaries. The above calculation is based on 4,869,250
     outstanding shares.
