Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On October 21, 2004, Champion Enterprises, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended October 2, 2004. This press release is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The registrant’s press release issued October 21, 2004 contains a table that reconciles net income (loss) and includes a subtotal of pretax internal operating results, which excludes a mark-to-market charge for a stock warrant, debt retirement (loss) gain, restructuring reversal (charges), income tax (expense) benefit, and (loss) income from discontinued operations. Management believes that pretax internal operating results, which exclude non-cash capital structure related items, restructuring reversal (charges), income taxes, and discontinued operations, is useful in understanding the results of its core operations of producing and selling factory-built housing.
