MONACO COACH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by Monaco Coach Corporation (the Company)
without audit. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 29,
2007 and June 28, 2008, and the results of its operations for the quarters
and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 28, 2008 and its cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 28, 2008. The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The
consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 28, 2008 is
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. The balance sheet data as of December 29,
2007 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures contained in the Companys Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 29, 2007, nor does it include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. These
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing
in the Companys Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 29, 2007.
2. Impairment of Assets
In October 2007, the Company ceased
operations of towable products at a facility located in Elkhart, Indiana. The manufacturing of these products was
relocated to plants in Wakarusa and Warsaw, Indiana. The property was listed for either sale or
lease and continues to be marketed as such.
Management assessed the fair value of the property at December 29,
2007 based on projected cash flows generated from a lease transaction and
determined there was no impairment.
Based on the decline of the real estate market during 2008, management
has reassessed the fair value of the property as of June 28, 2008 and the
Company has recognized an asset impairment charge of $2.0 million in the second
quarter of 2008. The fair value was
determined based on appraisals performed in 2007 and in May 2008. The impairment charge is reported under the
Towable Recreational Vehicle segment.
3. Inventory Valuation
Pursuant to FAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs, overhead costs related to excess manufacturing capacity have
been expensed, resulting in an $1.5 million charge to the second quarter of
2008 cost of sales.
4. Inventories, net
Inventories are stated at lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market. The
composition of inventory is as follows:

5. Land Held for Development
On March 19,
2008, the Company acquired 25 acres of land near Bay Harbor, Michigan for cash
of $2.8 million. The Company is
developing the parcel into a motorhome resort with approximately 130 total lots,
some of which are expected to be available for sale to the public in the third
quarter of 2008.
6.
Credit Facilities
The
Companys credit facilities consist of a revolving line of credit (the Line of
Credit) of up to $105.0 million and a term loan (Term Debt). As of June 28, 2008, there was $53.8
million outstanding under the Line of Credit and $25.7 million outstanding on
the Term Debt. At the election of the
Company, the credit facilities bear interest at rates that fluctuate based on
the prime rate or LIBOR and are determined based on the Companys leverage
ratio. The Company also pays interest
quarterly on the unused available portion of the Line of Credit at varying
rates, determined by the Companys leverage ratio. The amounts outstanding under the Line of
Credit are due and payable in full on November 17, 2009 and interest is
paid monthly. The Term Debt requires
quarterly interest and principal payments of $1.4 million, with a final balloon
payment of $12.9 million due on November 18, 2010. At June 28, 2008,
the weighted-average interest rate on the Revolving Loan and the Term Debt was
5.9% and 5.8%, respectively. The credit
facilities are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. The Company also has four stand-by letters of
credit outstanding totaling $3.8 million as of June 28, 2008.
The credit facilities require the Company
to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, minimum current ratio, minimum debt
service coverage ratio, and minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in violation of its required
leverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and tangible net worth covenant as
of June 28, 2008. The Company has
obtained an agreement from its lenders, dated July 29, 2008, to waive the
covenant violations as of June 28, 2008.
However, management expects that the Company will also violate these
covenants for the next several quarters.
Accordingly, the Company has reclassified its long-term debt and related
debt issue costs from non-current to current as of June 28, 2008.
The Company has a signed commitment letter dated July 29, 2008 with
Bank of America that contemplates a new three-year syndicated $100 million senior
credit facility (the Senior Credit Facility) with Bank of America acting as
the administrative agent. The commitment
letter is subject to a number of conditions, including the negotiation and
execution of a definitive credit agreement.
One of the conditions requires $40 million of unused available
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility at the closing date. In order to meet this requirement, the Company
is seeking approximately $30 to $40 million in subordinated debt financing.
There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement for the Senior
Credit Facility will be reached or that our current lenders will agree to
additional waivers, forbearance, or restructuring of the current debt. Under such circumstances, the Company could
experience severe liquidity problems resulting in a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, in
the event of an uncurable default of our credit facilities, our current debt
could become immediately payable and we could be forced to seek more costly
financing.
Unamortized debt issue costs related to the credit facilities were
$542,000 as of June 28, 2008. If
the current credit facility is refinanced, we expect that the transaction would
be accounted for as an extinguishment, requiring unamortized debt issue costs
at the refinancing date to be required to be expensed in the period of
refinancing.
7. Income Taxes
As of June 28, 2008,
the Companys total unrecognized tax benefits were $745,000 and all of these
benefits, if recognized, would positively affect the Companys effective tax
rate. The Company also had accrued
interest related to these unrecognized tax benefits of $134,000 as of June 28,
2008. The total amount of unrecognized
federal and state tax benefits is uncertain due to the subjectivity in the
measurement of certain deductions claimed for United States income tax purposes
and certain state income tax apportionment matters.
As of June 28, 2008,
the Companys income tax returns that remain subject to examination are tax
years 2004 through 2006 for U.S. federal income tax and tax years 2003 through
2006 for major state income tax returns.
The statute of limitations for U.S. federal income taxes and some state
income taxes for the 2003 and 2004 tax years will expire during the third and
fourth quarters of 2008.

7. Income Taxes, continued
Unrecognized tax benefits
are expected to decrease during fiscal 2008 by approximately $100,000 due to
the expiration of federal and state statutes of limitations for the 2004 tax
year.
Due to the loss before
income taxes of $28.4 million in the six months ended June 28, 2008,
management assessed the need to record a valuation allowance for the deferred
tax assets. It was determined no
valuation allowance was necessary at this time.
The Company is implementing initiatives to return to profitability,
including the restructuring plan discussed in Note 13. The need for an allowance will be reassessed
during the remainder of fiscal 2008. If
the Company does not return to profitability or there is not evidence that
indicates we will in the near future, it may be necessary to record a valuation
allowance.
8. Earnings Per Common
Share
Basic earnings per common
share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per common
share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the
period, after consideration of the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based
awards. The weighted-average number of
common shares used in the computation of earnings per common share were as

Repurchase of Common Stock
In January 2008, the Board of Directors approved a stock
repurchase program whereby up to an aggregate of $30 million worth of the
Companys outstanding shares of Common Stock may be repurchased from time to
time. There is no time restriction on
this authorization to purchase our Common Stock. The program provides for the Company to
repurchase shares through the open market and other approved transactions at
prices deemed appropriate by management.
The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under the program will
depend upon market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations. During January 2008, the Company
repurchased 313,400 shares of Common Stock on the open market at an average
purchase price of $9.03 per share. The
Company recognized a reduction to additional paid in capital and retained
earnings of approximately $727,000 and $2.1 million, respectively.
10. Stock-Based Award
Plans
The Company has an
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) 2007, a non-employee 1993
Director Stock Plan (the Director Plan), and an amended and restated 1993
Stock Plan (the Stock Plan). The
Purchase Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in 2007 and stockholder
approval was obtained at the May 14, 2008 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The compensation expense
recognized in the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and June 28, 2008 for
the plans was $657,514 and $697,740, respectively ($2.5 million and $2.8
million for the first six months of 2007 and 2008, respectively). A detailed description of all the plans and
the respective accounting treatment is included in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 29, 2007.
Restricted Stock Units
During the quarter
ended June 28, 2008, there were no grants of restricted stock units (RSUs)
under the Stock Plan. In addition, no
RSUs from previously granted awards vested during the same period. The compensation expense recognized for RSUs
in the second quarter of 2007 and 2008 was $372,551 and $356,261, respectively
($1.4 million and $1.6 million for the first six months of 2007 and 2008,
respectively).
Performance Share Awards
During the quarter
ended June 28, 2008, there were no grants of performance share awards (PSAs)
under the Stock Plan. In addition, no
PSAs from a previous award vested during the same period. A portion of the PSAs require achievement of
performance based on Return on Net Assets-adjusted (RONA) compared to a group
of peer companies. The Company
reassesses at each reporting date whether achievement of this performance
condition is probable. The assessment at
June 28, 2008 indicates it is not probable the RONA goal will be met for
any of the outstanding grants. Thus, the
previously recognized compensation expense of $274,100 was reversed. The net amount recognized for PSAs during
the quarter ended June 28, 2008 was a credit of $45,174 ($275,423 of
compensation expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2007). The amount recognized for PSAs in the first
six months of 2007 and 2008 was $1.0 million and $695,239, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies
Repurchase Agreements
Most of the Companys sales to independent
dealers are made on a floor plan basis by a bank or finance company which
lends the dealer all or substantially all of the wholesale purchase price and
retains a security interest in the vehicles.
Upon request of a lending institution financing a dealers purchases of
the Companys product, the Company will execute a repurchase agreement. These agreements provide that, for up to 15
months after a unit is shipped, the Company will repurchase a dealers
inventory in the event of a default by a dealer to its lender.
The Companys liability under repurchase
agreements is limited to the unpaid balance owed to the lending institution by
reason of its extending credit to the dealer to purchase its vehicles, reduced
by the resale value of vehicles which may be repurchased. The risk of loss is spread over numerous
dealers and financial institutions.

Commitments and Contingencies, continued
The amount subject to contingent repurchase
obligations arising from these agreements at June 28, 2008 is
approximately $487.9 million, with approximately 4.9% concentrated with one
dealer. If the Company were obligated to
repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, its
business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected. The Company has included the
disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others in its financial statements, and has
determined that the recognition provisions of FIN 45 apply to certain
guarantees routinely made by the Company, including contingent repurchase
obligations to third party lenders for inventory financing of dealer
inventories. The Company has recorded a
liability of approximately $362,000 for potential losses resulting from
guarantees on repurchase obligations for products shipped to dealers. This estimated liability is based on the
Companys experience of losses associated with the repurchase and resale of
units in prior years.
Product Liability
The Company is subject to regulations which may
require the Company to recall products with design or safety defects, and such
recall could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results
of operations, and financial condition.
The Company has from time to time been subject
to product liability claims. To date,
the Company has been successful in obtaining product liability insurance on
terms the Company considers acceptable.
The terms of the policy contain a self-insured retention amount of
$500,000 per occurrence, with a maximum annual aggregate self-insured retention
of $3.0 million. Overall product
liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, is available up to a maximum
amount of $100.0 million for each occurrence, as well as in the aggregate. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future at acceptable levels or
that the cost of insurance will be reasonable.
Furthermore, successful assertion against the Company of one or a series
of large uninsured claims, or of one or a series of claims exceeding any
insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
business, results of operations, and financial condition. The following table discloses significant
changes in the product liability reserve:

Product Warranty
Estimated warranty costs are provided for at the
time of sale of products with warranties covering the products for up to one
year from the date of retail sale (five years for the front and sidewall frame
structure, and three years on the Roadmaster chassis). These estimates are based on historical
average repair costs, as well as other reasonable assumptions deemed
appropriate by management. The Company
refined the estimate of units still under warranty and the improved data
resulted in a one-time reduction to the product warranty reserve of $2.8
million in the quarter ended June 28, 2008. The following table discloses significant
changes in the product warranty reserve:

Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal
proceedings which are incidental to the industry and for which certain matters
are covered in whole or in part by insurance or, for those matters not covered
by insurance, the Company has recorded accruals for estimated settlements. Management believes that any liability which
may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Company settled a dispute with the prior
owners of the Indio, California and Las
Vegas, Nevada motorcoach resorts related to a profit sharing agreement. As a result of the settlement, the Company
recorded a reduction to the resort lot participation accrual expense of $1.2
million in the second quarter of 2008.
13. Subsequent Events
On July 16, 2008,
the Company announced plans to relocate all service and production operations
in Wakarusa, Elkhart and Nappanee, Indiana and to permanently cease operations
at these locations. Production of the majority
of the motorized units currently manufactured in these locations will be relocated
to our Coburg, Oregon operations.
Production of the Companys remaining motorized models, together with
production of the towable units, will be relocated to our plants in Warsaw,
Indiana. The shutdown is scheduled to
begin on approximately September 17, 2008 and is expected to be
substantially completed by September 30, 2008.
The Company anticipates
recording a one-time charge in the third quarter of 2008 totaling approximately
$7.5 million. All of the charges
represent cash expenditures, which are expected to be paid during the third and
fourth quarters of 2008. The estimate
does not include charges for property impairment or contract termination fees
and penalties as these amounts are not determinable at the present time.

GENERAL
OVERVIEW
Background
Monaco Coach Corporation
(the Company) is a leading manufacturer of premium recreational vehicles
including Class A, B, and C motor coaches, as well as towable recreational
vehicles. The Company also develops and sells luxury motorcoach resort
facilities. These three operations, while closely tied into the recreational
lifestyle, are segmented for reporting purposes as the Motorized Recreational
Vehicle (MRV) segment, the Towable Recreational Vehicle (TRV) segment, and the
Motorhome Resort (MR) segment.
Motorized and Towable
Recreational Vehicle Segment Products
Our products range in
suggested retail price from $45,000 to $700,000 for motor coaches and from
$11,000 to $70,000 for towables. Based upon retail registrations for the first
five months of 2008, we believe we had a 26.0% share of the market for diesel Class A
motor coaches, a 8.1% share of the market for gas Class A motor coaches, a
17.4% share of the market for all Class A motor coaches, a 3.0% share of
the market for Class C motor coaches, a 4.3% share of the market for travel
trailers and a 2.5% share of the market for fifth wheel towables.
The recreational vehicle (RV) market in
the second quarter of 2008 continued to decline compared to the second quarter
of 2007. Record fuel prices and
shrinking consumer credit markets continue to dampen consumer demand. The market saw wholesale shipments of Class A
units decline 50.6% during the quarter compared to the same period last
year. We experienced a 42.2% decrease in
Class A sales to dealers in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the
same period last year. The overall
wholesale contraction in the RV market continues to put pressure on our
business, and the Class A wholesale market is projected by the RV Industry
Association (RVIA) to decline by 14% for the full year 2008 compared to
2007.* However, we believe the long-term
potential of the RV market is still rooted in solid demographics. This is most readily evidenced by the so-called baby boomer generation, which as
it ages will continue to expand our target market well into 2015 and should
provide a consumer base that is enthusiastic to embrace the RV lifestyle.*
The motorized market has been
significantly impacted by the current market conditions. The tightening of the retail credit market is
placing pressures on the retail customers and our dealers continue to be
cautious in the amount of inventory they are willing to carry. Consequently, we have been very diligent in
monitoring the wholesale versus retail shipments of our products. The decline in wholesale demand has exerted
extreme pressure on our pricing to dealers.
This is a major factor in the decrease of our gross margins and
partially offsets the improvements we have made in our plant efficiencies.
The towable market has also cooled. Wholesale shipments of towable recreational
vehicles were down 18.5% in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the same
period in 2007. In 2007 we introduced
several new floorplans and new lightweight and inexpensive models to compete in
this market sector. We believe that
these new offerings will enable us to compete more effectively in these more
challenging market conditions. *

As in the case of our
motorized production, we also have excess capacity at our towable
facilities. As a result, we consolidated
the Elkhart towable production into our Wakarusa and Warsaw, Indiana production
facilities during the fourth quarter of 2007.
As the market has declined since then, we announced in July 2008,
that we will be ceasing all operations in Wakarusa, Elkhart and Nappanee,
Indiana. The operations will be
relocated to our facilities in Coburg, Oregon and Warsaw, Indiana. The shutdown of our operations in Wakarusa,
Elkhart and Nappanee, Indiana is expected to be substantially completed by September 30,
2008. We anticipate that this move will
increase plant utilization in the remaining facilities and decrease indirect
costs of sales.*
Motorhome Resort
Segment
In addition to the
manufacturing of premium recreational vehicles, the Company owns and operates
two motorhome resort properties (the Resorts), located in Las Vegas, Nevada,
and Indio, California. The development
of motorhome resorts located in Naples, Florida and Bay Harbor, Michigan are
nearing completion. We expect some lots
at the Bay Harbor, Michigan location to be available for sale in the third
quarter of 2008 and lots at the Naples, Florida location to be available for
sale in the fourth quarter of 2008.* The
Company also has land to develop a property in La Quinta, California. The Resorts offer sales of individual lots to
owners, and also offer common interests in the amenities at each resort. Lot
prices for remaining unsold lots at the two developed resorts range from
$114,900 to $329,900. Amenities at the Resorts include: club house facilities, tennis, swimming, and
golf. The Resorts provide destination locations for premium Class A motor
coach owners, and help to promote the recreational lifestyle.
Business Changes
In March 2007, we
completed the formation of a joint venture with Navistar, Inc. (NAV) for
the purpose of manufacturing rear diesel chassis. This joint venture, known as Custom Chassis
Products LLC (CCP), enables us to take advantage of purchasing synergies,
access engineering and design expertise from NAV, and improve the utilization
of our Roadmaster chassis manufacturing facility in Elkhart, Indiana. Our ownership interest is 49%, and we are accounting
for the activity of this operation using the equity method of accounting.
In October 2007, the
Company ceased operations of towable products at a facility located in Elkhart,
Indiana. The manufacturing of these
products was relocated to our plants in Wakarusa and Warsaw, Indiana. The property was listed for either sale or
lease and continues to be marketed as such.
Management assessed the fair value of the property at December 29,
2007 based on projected cash flows generated from a lease transaction and
determined there was no impairment.
Based on the decline of the real estate market during 2008, management
has reassessed the fair value of the property as of June 28, 2008 and the
Company has recognized an asset impairment charge of $2.0 million in the second
quarter of 2008. The fair value was
determined based on appraisals performed in 2007 and in May 2008. The impairment charge is reported under the
Towable Recreational Vehicle segment.
On July 17, 2008,
the Company announced and the closure of its production and service center
operations in Wakarusa, Elkhart and Nappanee, Indiana. Production of the majority of the motorized
units currently manufactured in these locations will be relocated to our
Coburg, Oregon operations. Production of
the remaining motorized units, together with production of towable units, will
be relocated to our Warsaw, Indiana location.
The shut down is scheduled to begin on approximately September 17,
2008 and is expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2008.
Approximately
1,400 hourly and salaried employees will be impacted by the shutdown,
representing 33% of the Companys total workforce. The Company will
continue to maintain a significant presence in the northern Indiana area with
approximately 700 employees at its operations in Warsaw, Milford and Goshen,
Indiana.
The
decision to reduce operations was made in light of continued deteriorating
market conditions for the RV industry. In recent quarters, in order to
align production with retail demand, the Company has reduced production by
taking days and weeks off. The closure of the Companys two production
facilities in Indiana is expected to decrease the Companys Class A
motorized production capacity from approximately 180 units per week to 90.*
The
Company anticipates recording a one-time charge in the third quarter of 2008
totaling approximately $7.5 million.* This charge is expected to include (i) $2.0
million to $2.5 million for expenses associated with the closure of the
facilities; (ii) approximately $4.5 million to $5.1 million for personnel
related costs, including severance benefits, transfer bonuses, and relocation
assistance costs; and (iii) approximately $0.6 million to $0.9
million of charges for the physical relocation of inventory and
equipment. All of these charges represent cash expenditures which are
expected to be paid during the third and fourth quarters of 2008. The estimate does not include charges for
property impairment or contract termination fees and penalties as these amounts
are not determinable at the present time. We expect these changes to provide a benefit
from savings in the amount of $12.0 million on a quarterly basis.*

Overall Company Performance in the Second Quarter of 2008
Second
quarter net sales decreased 39.8% to $201.9 million compared to $335.3 million
for the same period last year. Gross
diesel motorized sales were down 45.3%, gas motorized sales were down 1.7%, and
towables were down 32.9%. Diesel
products accounted for 58.0% of our second quarter revenues while gas products
were 13.4%, and towables were 28.6%. Our
overall unit sales were down 27.7% in the second quarter of 2008 to 4,865
units, with diesel motorized unit sales down 50.7% to 540 units, gas motorized
unit sales down 10.0% to 380 units, and towable unit sales down 24.3% to 3,945
units. Our total gross average unit
selling price decreased to $42,700 from $50,100 in the same period last year,
reflecting a shift in the mix of products sold.
Gross
profit for the second quarter of 2008 decreased to $9.2 million, down from
$36.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, and gross margin decreased from
10.9% in the second quarter of 2007 to 4.5% in the second quarter of 2008. Changes in the components of cost of sales

Direct
materials increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.9% or $1.8
million. The increase was due mainly to
the impact of increased sales discounts, which caused direct material, as a
percent of sales, to increase by 1.3% or $2.8 million. The negative impact of discounts on direct
material, as a percent of sales, was offset by decreases in material costs due
to initiatives the Company has implemented during the last twelve months to
improve efficiencies in production plants and obtain better raw materials
pricing.
·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.6% or $1.2 million. The
increase was partially due to the impact of increased sales discounts, which
resulted in direct labor, as a percent of sales, to increase by 0.2% or
$432,000. The remaining increase was due
to changes in the mix of products sold as gas motorized and towable products
were a larger portion of the sales.
·
Increases
in warranty expense in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.4% or $808,000. The Company refined the estimate of units
still under warranty and the improved data resulted in a one-time reduction to
the product warranty reserve of $2.8 million, which offset higher claim volumes
in the quarter.
17
Table
of Contents
·
Increases
in other direct costs in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 1.1% or $2.2
million. This increase was the result of higher compensation and other employee
related benefit costs of $808,000, out-of-policy warranty repairs of $808,000,
and delivery freight expense of $606,000.
·
Decreases
in indirect costs in 2008 were $4.1 million.
These decreases were partially the result of consolidation of component
facilities and consolidation of a towable production line and a motorized
production line into one facility in late 2007.
In addition, these decreases were due to the decline in the volume of
units produced, which decreased indirect variable costs. The decreases were partially offset by a
charge in 2008 of $1.5 million related fixed to overhead costs not absorbed, on
a percent of sales basis, in certain production facilities as plant utilization
dropped below historical normal capacity levels.
Selling, general, and administrative
expenses (S,G,&A) decreased by $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2008
to $22.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2007 and increased as a
percentage of sales from 8.3% in the second quarter of 2007 to 11.0% in the
second quarter of 2008. Changes in

Decreases
in salaries, bonus and benefit expenses in 2008 were $2.1 million. This
decrease was due to reductions in management bonus expense of $1.5 million and
in wages and benefits of $569,000.
·
Decreases
in selling expenses in 2008 were $2.8 million. This decrease was due to lower
costs for selling programs at our dealers lots of $2.3 million, lower selling
costs for resort lots of $180,000, and a $307,000 reduction in sales
commissions as a result of reduced sales.
The decrease in selling programs included a reduction to accruals of
$3.9 million related to modifications made to the terms of the Companys sales
and promotion programs, offset by an increase of $1.6 million to the accruals
related to the current quarter sales.
·
Settlement
expense (litigation settlement expense) in 2008 increased by $925,000. The total dollar increase was the result of
increases in the number of litigation cases in 2008 compared to 2007.
·
Increases
in marketing expenses in 2008 were $652,000. These increases were the result of higher
expenses associated with advertising costs of $513,000 and an increase in shows
and rallies expenses of $130,000.
·
Decreases
in other expenses in 2008 were $2.3 million.
This decrease was predominately the result of reductions in resort lot
participation accrual expense of $1.2 million, contract services of $894,000,
and rental expenses of $334,000, offset by an increase in depreciation expense
of $108,000. The decrease of the resort lot participation accrual expense was a
result of the Company reaching a settlement related to a profit sharing
agreement with the prior owners of the Indio, California and Las Vegas, Nevada
resorts. The remainder of the change was
due to decreases in various other expenses.
In October 2007 the
Company ceased operations at a production facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The towable products previously produced at
this location were relocated to facilities in Wakarusa and Warsaw, Indiana. Based on the declining real estate market in
the second quarter of 2008, the Company reassessed the fair market value of the
building and determined it was appropriate to recognize an impairment charge of
$2.0 million on the facility.
The
operating loss was $15.1 million, or 7.5% of sales, in the second quarter of
2008 compared to an operating income of $8.7 million, or 2.6% of sales, in the
same 2007 period.
The decrease in operating income
was due predominantly to decreased sales, lower gross margins, higher
S,G,&A costs as a percent of sales, and the asset impairment charge.
Net
interest expense was $924,000 in the second quarter of 2008 (net of capitalized
interest of $217,000) versus $947,000 in the comparable 2007 period, reflecting
higher overall corporate borrowings during the second quarter of 2008 partially
offset by lower interest rates as compared to the same period in 2007.

Table

We
reported a benefit from income taxes of $5.4 million, or an effective tax rate
of 35.6%, in the second quarter of 2008, compared to a provision for income
taxes of $3.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 40.2%, in the second quarter
of 2007. The income tax benefit in 2008 was due to the loss before income
taxes and a one time tax benefit related to the reduction of the resort lot
participation accrual as a result of the settlement with the prior owners of
the properties. The tax benefit was partially
offset by an adjustment to a valuation allowance for state tax credits expected
to expire before being used.
Net
loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $9.7 million compared to net income of
$4.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to lower sales, lower
gross margin, higher S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of sales, and the
asset impairment charge.

Total
net sales for the MRV segment were down from $250.7 million in the second
quarter of 2007 to $148.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Gross diesel motorized revenues were down
45.3% and gross gas motorized revenues were down 1.7%. Diesel products accounted for 81.2% of the
MRV segments second quarter of 2008 gross revenues while gas products were
18.8%. The overall decrease in revenues
was due to the decline in the motorized retail market, as well as the increase
of gas motorized units sold in our overall MRV segment mix. Our MRV segment unit sales were down 39.4%
year over year from 1,518 units in the second quarter of 2007 to 920 units in
the second quarter of 2008. Diesel
motorized unit sales were down 50.7% to 540 units and gas motorized unit sales
were down 10.0% to 380 units.
Gross
profit for the MRV segment for the second quarter of 2008 decreased to $5.7
million, down from $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2007, and gross
margin decreased from 10.5% in the second quarter of 2007 to 3.8% in the second
quarter of 2008. Changes in the

Direct
materials increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 1.0% or $1.5
million. The increase was due to the
impact of increased sales discounts, which caused direct material, as a percent
of sales, to increase by 1.4% or $2.0 million.
The negative impact of discounts on direct material, as a percent of
sales, was offset by decreases in material costs due to initiatives the Company
has implemented during the last twelve months to obtain better raw materials
pricing.
·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.5%, or $743,000. The increase is partially due to the impact
of increased sales discounts, which resulted in direct labor increasing, as a
percent of sales, by 0.2% or $252,000. The remaining increase is due to a
change in the product mix of sales as gas motorized products were a larger
portion of the segment sales.

Increase
in warranty expense in 2008, as a percent of sales, was 0.2% or $297,000. The Company refined the estimate of units
still under warranty and the improved data resulted in a one-time reduction to
the product warranty reserve of $2.8 million, which offset higher claim volumes
in the quarter.
·
Increases
in other direct costs in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 1.4% or $2.1
million. This change was due to an increase in out-of-warranty repairs of
$743,000, compensation and other employee related benefit costs of $594,000 and
delivery expense of $743,000.
·
Decreases in indirect costs in 2008 were $4.1
million. These decreases were partially the result of consolidation of
component facilities and consolidation of a towable production line and a motorized
production line into one facility in late 2007.
In addition, these decreases were due to the decline in the volume of
units produced, which decreased indirect variable costs. The decreases were partially offset by a
charge in 2008 of $1.4 million related to fixed overhead costs not absorbed, on
a percent of sales basis, in certain production facilities as plant utilization
dropped below historical normal capacity levels.
S,G,&A expenses for
the MRV segment increased, as a percent of sales, due to lower sales levels and
increases in salaries and benefit expenses, settlement expense, marketing
expenses, and other S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of sales, partially
offset by decreases in selling expenses as a percentage of sales. The decrease in selling expenses includes a
reduction to accruals of $3.9 million related to modifications made to the
terms of the Companys sales and promotion programs.
The
operating loss was due to lower sales, lower gross margins, and higher
S,G,&A expenses as a percent of sales.

Total net sales for the TRV segment were
down from $81.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $53.1 million in the
second quarter of 2008. This decrease is
due to softer market conditions in the towable sector. The Companys unit sales were down 24.3% to
3,945 units. Average unit selling price
decreased to $15,100 in the second quarter of 2008 from $17,000 in the same
period last year.
Gross
profit for the second quarter of 2008 decreased to $3.4 million, down from $8.3
million in the second quarter of 2007, and gross margin decreased from 10.2% in
the second quarter of 2007 to 6.4% in the second quarter of 2008. Changes in the components of cost of sales

Direct
material decreases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.3% or $159,000. The
decrease was the result of the change in product mix to units with lower
material usage rates. This was partially
offset by an increase in sales discounts, which caused direct material, as a
percent of sales, to increase by 1.3% or $635,000.
·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.2% or $106,000. The
increase was due to the impact of increased sales discounts, which resulted in
direct labor, as a percent of sales, to increase by 0.2% or $103,000.
·
Warranty
expense increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.8% or $424,000. The remaining decrease of $1.0 million was
due to lower sales volumes.
·
Other
direct costs, as a percent of sales, were consistent with the prior year at
7.4%.
·
Increases
in indirect costs in 2008 of $68,000 were partially due to a charge of $125,000
related fixed overhead costs not absorbed, as a percent of sales basis, in
certain production facilities as plant utilization dropped below historically
normal levels.
S,G,&A expenses for
the TRV segment increased, as a percent of sales, due to lower sales levels and
increased selling expenses, and other S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of
sales, partially offset by decreases in salaries and benefit expenses as a
percent of sales.
In October 2007 the
Company ceased operations at a production facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The towable products previously produced at
this location were relocated to facilities in Wakarusa and Warsaw,
Indiana. Based on the declining real
estate market in the second quarter of 2008, the Company reassessed the fair
market value of the building and determined it was appropriate to recognize an
impairment charge of $2.0 million on the facility.
The operating loss was
due to lower sales, lower gross margins, higher S,G,&A expenses in total
dollars and as a percent of sales, and the asset impairment charge.

Net
sales decreased 93.1% to $255,000 compared to $3.7 million for the same period
last year. The decline in overall real
estate values and the declining sales in the RV market have had an impact on
the demand for resort lots. The decrease
was also due to fewer lots available for sale in the second quarter of 2008 as
the Indio, California and Las Vegas, Nevada resorts are near the end of the
sales cycle. As our inventories of
available lots shrink, there is greater competition within the Companys own
resorts from owner resales. We are currently
developing resorts in Naples, Florida and in Bay Harbor, Michigan. The Bay Harbor location should have lots
available for sale in the third quarter of 2008 and the Naples location should
have lots available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company still expects that while sales
may remain slower than expected, the need for luxury resort locations within
the industry will remain strong.*
Gross
profit for the MR segment decreased to 45.5% of sales in the second quarter of
2008 compared to 55.8% of sales in the same period last year. The gross margin decrease was due increased
discounts given on the lots.
S,G,&A expenses
increased, as a percentage of sales, due to lower sales that were not entirely
offset by a reduction in total S,G,&A expenses. The expenses included a reduction of $1.2
million to the resort lot participation accrual expense as the result of the
Company reaching a settlement related to a profit sharing agreement with the
prior owners of the Indio, California and Las Vegas, Nevada resorts. The operating loss was due to lower lot sales
volumes, a decrease in gross margins, and an increase in S,G&A expenses as
a percentage of sales.

Consolidated
sales for the six months ended June 28, 2008 were $454.3 million versus
$657.6 million, representing a 30.9% decrease.
This decrease was due to the continued decline in the recreational
vehicle retail market and a decrease in motorhome resort lot sales. The resort revenues were lower due to the
declining real estate market, as well as due to shrinking inventories of available
lots and competition within the Companys own resorts from owner resales in
2008.
Gross
profit for the first six months of 2008 decreased to $25.0 million, down from
$72.6 million in the same period of 2007 and gross margins decreased from 11.1%
in 2007 to 5.5% in 2008. The changes in

Direct
materials increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 1.7% or $7.7
million. The increase was due to the
impact of increased sales discounts, which caused direct material, as a percent
of sales, to increase by 1.1% or $4.5 million.
The remaining increase was due to a change in the product mix, as gross
sales of gas motorized units, which have higher material usage rates, were a
larger portion of sales.
·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.4% or $1.8 million. Direct labor decreased in total dollars by
$262,000 due to the chassis now being purchased from the CCP joint venture as
the direct labor portion of the chassis are included in direct materials versus
direct labor. Excluding the impact of
the joint venture, the increase was also due to the impact of increased sales
discounts, which resulted in direct labor, as a percent of sales, to increase
by 0.2% or $787,000. The remaining
increase was due to a change in the product mix of sales.
·
Increases
in warranty expense in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.5% or $2.2
million. The Company refined the
estimate of units still under warranty and the improved data resulted in a
one-time reduction to the product warranty reserve of $2.8 million, which
offset higher claim volumes in the first six months of 2008.
·
Increases
in other direct costs in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.7% or $3.2
million. This change was the result of increases in out-of-warranty repairs of
$1.4 million, compensation and other employee related benefit costs of $909,000
and delivery expenses of $909,000.

These decreases were partially the result of consolidation of component

Decreases
in salaries, bonus and benefit expenses in 2008 were $2.8 million. This
decrease was due to a reduction in management bonus expense of $2.5 million and
wages and other benefits of $522,000, offset by an increase in long-term
incentive stock-based program expenses of $308,000.
·
Decreases
in selling expenses in 2008 were $5.9 million. This decrease was due to lower
costs for selling programs at our resort properties of $442,000, higher wages
and other benefits of $297,000, lower sales commissions of $572,000 due to
reduced sales, and lower costs of $5.1 million related to selling
programs. The decrease in selling
program expenses includes a reduction to accruals of $3.9 million related to
modifications made to the terms of the Companys sales and promotion programs.
·
Settlement
expense (litigation settlement expense) in 2008 increased by $1.3 million. The
total dollar increase was the result of increases in the number of litigation
cases in 2008 versus 2007 as well as increases in the amounts reserved for
certain pending litigation.
·
Increases
in marketing expenses in 2008 were $1.0 million. These increases were mostly the result of
higher expenses associated with shows and rallies of $498,000, advertising and
promotions of $358,000 and magazines of $114,000.
·
Decreases
in other expenses in 2008 were $3.1 million.
This decrease was predominately due to reductions in contract services
expense of $1.1 million and resort lot participation accrual of $1.2 million.
The decrease of the resort lot participation accrual expense as a result of the
Company reaching a settlement related to a profit sharing agreement with the
prior owners of the Indio, California and Las Vegas, Nevada resorts. The remainder of the change was due to
decreases in various other expenses.
In October 2007 the
Company ceased operations at a production facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The towable products previously produced at
this location were relocated to facilities in Wakarusa and Warsaw, Indiana. Based on the declining real estate market in
the second quarter of 2008, the Company reassessed the fair market value of the
building and determined it was appropriate to recognize an impairment charge of
$2.0 million on the facility.
The operating loss was
$27.9 million, or 6.1% of sales, for the first six months of 2008 compared to
operating income of $12.4 million, or 1.9% of sales, in the similar 2007
period.
The operating
loss was due to the reduction in sales, lower gross margins, higher and
S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of sales, and the asset impairment charge.
Net interest expense was
$1.6 million for the first six months of 2008 (net of capitalized interest of
$361,000) versus $1.9 million in the comparable 2007 period, reflecting higher
overall corporate borrowings during the first six months of 2008, partially
offset by lower interest rates as compared to the same period in 2007.

We reported a benefit
from income taxes of $10.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 36.1% for the
first six months of 2008, compared to a provision for income taxes of $4.0
million, or an effective tax rate of 40.2% for the comparable 2007
period. The income tax benefit in 2008 was due to the loss before income
taxes and a one time tax benefit related to the reduction of the resort lot
participation accrual as a result of the settlement with the prior owners of
the properties. The tax benefit was partially offset by an adjustment to a
valuation allowance for state tax credits expected to expire before being used.
Net loss for the first
six months of 2008 was $18.2 million compared to net income of $6.0 million for
the comparable period in 2007 due to a reduction in sales, lower operating
margin, an increase in S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of sales, and the
asset impairment charge.

Net sales for the MRV
segment were down from $496.2 million in the first six months of 2007 to $343.3
million in the first six months of 2008.
Gross diesel motorized revenues were down 35.6%, and gas motorized
revenues were up 13.8%. Diesel products
accounted for 82.8% of the MRV segment revenues while gas products were
17.2%. The overall decrease in revenues reflects
a decline in the motorized retail market, as well as the increase of gas
motorized units sold in our overall MRV segment mix. Our overall MRV segment unit sales were down
28.8% in the first six months of 2008 to 2,120 units, with diesel motorized
unit sales down 40.5% to 1,313 units, and gas motorized unit sales up 4.8% to
807 units. Our average unit selling
price decreased to $161,700 for the first six months of 2008 from $165,500 in
the same period last year.
Gross profit for the
first six months of 2008 decreased to $17.5 million, down from $52.7 million in
2007, and gross margin decreased from 10.6% in the first six months of 2007 to
5.1% in the first six months of 2008.

Direct
materials increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 2.0% or $6.9 million.
The increase was due to the impact of increased sales discounts, which caused
direct materials, as a percent of sales, to increase by 0.9% or $3.3 million. The remaining increase of $3.6 million was
due to a change in the product mix, as gross sales of gas motorized units,
which have higher material usage rates, were a larger portion of the overall
MRV segment sales mix.

Table

·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.2% or $687,000. Direct
labor decreased in total dollars by $262,000 due to the chassis now being
purchased from the CCP joint venture as the direct labor portion of these
chassis are included in direct materials versus direct labor. Excluding the impact of the joint venture,
the increase was also due to the impact of increased sales discounts, which
resulted in direct labor, as a percent of sales, to increase by 0.1% or
$478,000. The remaining increase was due
to a change in the product mix of sales as gas motorized products were a larger
portion of the segment mix.
·
Increases
in warranty expense in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.4% or $1.4
million. The Company refined the
estimate of units still under warranty and the improved data resulted in a
one-time reduction to the product warranty reserve of $2.8 million, which
offset higher claim volumes in the first six months of 2008.
·
Increases
in other direct costs in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.8% or $2.7
million. This change was due to increases in out-of-warranty repairs of $1.0
million, delivery expenses of $1.4 million, and compensation and other employee
related benefit costs of $343,000.
·
Decreases
in indirect costs in 2008 were $7.7 million.
These decreases were partially the result of consolidation of component
facilities and consolidation of a towable production line and a motorized
production line into one facility in late 2007.
In addition, these decreases were due to the decline in the volume of
units produced, which decreased indirect variable costs. The decreases were partially offset by a charge
in 2008 of $1.4 million related fixed overhead costs not absorbed, on a percent
of sales basis, in certain production facilities as plant utilization dropped
below historical normal capacity levels.
S,G,&A expenses for
the MRV segment increased, as a percent of sales, due to lower sales levels and
increases in salaries and benefit expenses, settlement expense, marketing
expenses, and other S,G,&A expenses as a percentage of sales, partially
offset by decreases in selling expenses as a percentage of sales. The decrease in selling expenses includes a
reduction to accruals of $3.9 million related to modifications made to the
terms of the Companys sales and promotion programs.
The operating loss was
due to lower sales and gross profit, and higher S,G,&A expenses as a
percent of sales.

Net sales for the TRV
segment were down from $150.4 million in the first six months of 2007 to $108.3
million in the first six months of 2008.
The decrease is due to softer market conditions in the towable
sector. The Companys unit sales were
down 20.1% to 7,588 units. The average
unit selling price decreased to $16,000 in the first six months of 2008 from
$17,300 in the same period last year.

Direct
material decreases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.3% or $325,000. This
decrease was a result of the change in product mix to units with lower material
usage rates. This was partially offset
by an increase in sales discounts, which caused direct materials, as a percent
of sales, to increase by 1.4% or $1.5 million.
·
Direct
labor increases in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.4% or $433,000. This
increase was mostly due to the impact of increased sales discounts, which
resulted in direct labor, as a percent of sales, to increase by 0.3% or
$229,000.
·
Increases
in warranty expense in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.6% or $650,000. The increase was partially due to the impact
of increased sales discounts, which resulted in warranty expense, as a percent
of sales, to increase by 0.1% or $108,000.
·
Decreases
in other direct costs in 2008, as a percent of sales, were 0.4% or $433,000.
This decrease was primarily the result of improvements in delivery expenses.
·
Increases
in indirect costs in 2008 of $274,000 were partially due to a charge of
$125,000 related to fixed overhead costs not absorbed on a percent of sales
basis in certain production facilities as plant utilization dropped below
historically normal levels. The
remaining change was due to increases in the variable portion of costs relative
to the reduction in sales.
S,G,&A expenses for
the TRV segment increased, as both a percent of sales and in total dollars due
to increases in salaries and benefit expenses, selling expenses, marketing
expenses, and other S,G,&A expenses.
In October 2007 the
Company ceased operations at a production facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The towable products previously produced at
this location were relocated to facilities in Wakarusa and Warsaw,
Indiana. Based on the declining real
estate market in the second quarter of 2008, the Company reassessed the fair
market value of the building and determined it was appropriate to recognize an
impairment charge of $2.0 million on the facility.
The operating loss was
due to lower sales and gross profit, higher S,G,&A expenses in total
dollars and as a percent of sales, and the asset impairment charge.

Net sales decreased 75.4%
to $2.7 million compared to $10.9 million for the same period last year. The decline in overall real estate values and
the declining sales in the RV market have had an impact on the demand for
resort lots. The decrease was also due
to fewer lots available for sale in the current year as the Indio, California
and Las Vegas, Nevada resorts are near the end of the sales cycle. In addition,
there is competition within the Companys own resorts from owner resales. We are currently developing resorts in
Naples, Florida and Bay Harbor, Michigan.
The Company still expects that while sales may remain slower than
expected, that the needs for luxury resort locations within the industry will
remain strong.*
Gross profit for the MR
segment decreased to 50.7% of sales compared to 62.7% of sales in the same
period last year. Gross margin decreases
were due to the additions of some amenities designed to enhance the appeal of
the resorts and demand for lots, but also added to the cost of sales.
S,G,&A expenses
increased as a percent of sales due to lower sales that was not entirely offset
by a reduction in total S,G,&A dollars.
The expenses included a reduction of $1.2 million to the resort lot
participation accrual expense as the result of the Company reaching a
settlement related to a profit sharing agreement with the prior owners of the
Indio, California and Las Vegas, Nevada resorts.
The operating loss was
due to lower lot sales volumes, a decrease in gross margins, and an increase in
S,G&A expenses as a percentage of sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys primary
sources of liquidity are internally generated cash from operations and
available borrowings under its credit facilities. During the first six months
of 2008, the Company used cash of $49.4 million for operating activities and
had a net cash balance of $1.3 million at June 28, 2008. The Company used
$8.9 million of cash from the net loss offset by non-cash expenses such as
depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation, and impairment of assets.
Major uses of cash flows for operating activities include an increase of $20.1
million in inventories, an increase of $3.8 millions in resort lot inventory,
an increase of $2.8 million in land held for development, a decrease of $5.8
million in trade accounts payable, a
decrease of $4.2 million in product warranty reserve, an increase in income tax
receivable of $11.6 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other
liabilities of $11.8 million. The major
source of cash was from a decrease of $19.1 million in trade accounts
receivable. The increase in inventories was from an increase in finished goods
due to a decline in sales in the first six months of 2008 that was not entirely
anticipated. The increase in resort lot
inventory was due to the construction in progress at the Naples, Florida and
Bay Harbor, Michigan properties. The
increase in land held for development was due to the purchase of the Bay
Harbor, Michigan property for resort development in March 2008. The decrease in trade accounts payable
relates to the decline in purchases of raw materials towards the end of the six
month period ended June 28, 2008.
As the six months progressed, production output was reduced and raw
materials that had built up towards the beginning of the year were used. The decrease in product warranty reserve was
due in part to the one time reduction of $2.8 million related to refining the
estimate of units still under warranty.
The increase in income tax receivable is due to the net loss recognized
in the first six months of 2008. The
decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities is associated primarily with
decreases of accruals for management bonus earned in 2007, promotions and
advertising, and various miscellaneous accruals. The decrease in trade accounts receivable is
due to improved collections and the decline in sales experienced in the second
quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.

The Companys credit
facilities consist of a revolving line of credit (the Line of Credit) of up
to $105.0 million and a term loan (Term Debt). As of June 28, 2008, there was $53.8
million outstanding under the Line of Credit and $25.7 million outstanding on
the Term Debt. At the election of the
Company, the credit facilities bear interest at rates that fluctuate based on
the prime rate or LIBOR and are determined based on the Companys leverage
ratio. The Company also pays interest
quarterly on the unused available portion of the Line of Credit at varying
rates, determined by the Companys leverage ratio. The amounts outstanding under the Line of
Credit are due and payable in full on November 17, 2009 and interest is
paid monthly. The Term Debt requires
quarterly interest and principal payments of $1.4 million, with a final balloon
payment of $12.9 million due on November 18, 2010. The credit facilities are collateralized by
all of the assets of the Company. The
Company utilizes zero balance bank disbursement accounts in which an advance
on the line of credit is automatically made for checks clearing each day. Since
the balance of the disbursement account at the bank returns to zero at the end
of each day, the outstanding checks of the Company are reflected as a
liability. The outstanding check liability is combined with the Companys
positive cash balance accounts to reflect a net book overdraft or a net cash
balance for financial reporting. The cash balance at June 28, 2008 is the
cash maintained in the R-Vision bank accounts held with different financial
institutions and thus not combined with the Companys net book overdraft
balance.
The credit facilities
require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, minimum current
ratio, minimum debt service coverage ratio, and minimum tangible net
worth. The Company was in violation of
its required leverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and tangible net
worth covenant as of June 28, 2008.
The Company has obtained an agreement from its lenders, dated July 29,
2008, to waive the covenant violations as of June 28, 2008. However, management expects that the Company
will also violate these covenants for the next several quarters. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified its
long-term debt and related debt issue costs from non-current to current as of June 28,
2008.
The Company has signed a
commitment letter dated July 29, 2008 from Bank of America that
contemplates a new three-year syndicated $100 million senior credit facility
(the Senior Credit Facility) with Bank of America acting as the
administrative agent. The commitment
letter is subject to a number of conditions, including the negotiation and
execution of a definitive credit agreement.
One of the conditions requires $40 million of unused opening available
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility at the closing date. In order to meet this requirement, the
Company is seeking approximately $30 to $40 million in subordinated debt financing.
There can be no assurance
that a definitive agreement for the Senior Credit Facility will be reached or
that our current lenders will agree to additional waivers, forbearance, or
restructuring of the current debt. Under
such circumstances, the Company could experience severe liquidity problems
resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. In addition, in the event of an incurable default of
our current credit facilities, our current debt could become immediately
payable and we could be forced to seek more costly financing.
Unamortized debt issue
costs related to the credit facilities were $542,000 as of June 28,
2008. If the current credit facility is refinanced,
we expect that the transaction would be accounted for as an extinguishment, requiring
unamortized debt issue costs at the refinancing date to be expensed in the
period of refinancing.
In November 2005,
the Company obtained a term loan of $500,000 from the State of Oregon in connection
with the relocation of jobs to the Coburg, Oregon production facilities from
the Bend, Oregon facility. The principal and interest is due on April 30,
2009. The loan bears a 5% annual interest rate.
The Companys principal
working capital requirements are for purchases of inventory and financing of
trade receivables. Many of the Companys dealers finance product purchases
under wholesale floor plan arrangements with third parties as described below.
At June 28, 2008, the Company had working capital of approximately $76.1
million, a decrease of $35.9 million from working capital of $112.0 million at December 29,
2007 due in large part to the reclassification of the total term debt to
current. The Company has been using short-term credit facilities and operating
cash flow to finance its capital expenditures.
28
Table
of Contents
Subject to the
restructuring of the debt previously described, the Company believes that cash
flow from operations and funds available under its anticipated credit facilities
will be sufficient to meet the Companys liquidity requirements for the next 12
months.* The Companys capital expenditures were $1.6 million in the first six
months of 2008, which included, upgrades to its information systems
infrastructure, hardware and software, relocation of our printing shop,
purchase of a small building, and other various capitalized upgrades to
existing facilities. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for all
of 2008 will be approximately $5 million, which includes expenditures to
purchase additional machinery and equipment in the Companys Coburg, Oregon
facilities, moving operations from Indiana to Oregon, purchase of signage and
hardware for dealer support programs and upgrades to existing information
systems infrastructures. The Company may require additional equity or debt
financing to address working capital needs, particularly if the Company significantly
increases the level of working capital assets such as inventory and accounts
receivable. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available if required or on terms deemed favorable by the Company.
As is typical in the
recreational vehicle industry, many of the Companys retail dealers utilize
wholesale floor plan financing arrangements with third party lending
institutions to finance their purchases of the Companys products. Under the
terms of these floor plan arrangements, institutional lenders customarily
require the recreational vehicle manufacturer to agree to repurchase any unsold
units if the dealer defaults on its credit facility from the lender, subject to
certain conditions. The Company has agreements with several institutional
lenders under which the Company currently has repurchase obligations. The
Companys contingent obligations under these repurchase agreements are reduced
by the proceeds received upon the sale of any repurchased units. The Companys
obligations under these repurchase agreements vary from period to period up to
15 months. At June 28, 2008, approximately $487.9 million of products sold
by the Company to independent dealers were subject to potential repurchase
under existing floor plan financing agreements with approximately 4.9%
concentrated with one dealer. Historically, the Company has been successful in
mitigating losses associated with repurchase obligations. During the second
quarter of 2008, the losses associated with the exercise of repurchase agreements
were approximately $38,000. Dealers for the Company undergo a credit review
prior to becoming a dealer and periodically thereafter. Financial institutions
that provide floor plan financing also perform credit reviews and floor checks
on an on- going basis. We closely monitor sales to dealers that are a higher
credit risk. The repurchase period is limited, usually up to a maximum of 15
months. We believe these activities help to minimize the number of required
repurchases. Additionally, the repurchase agreement specifies that the dealer
is required to make principal payments during the repurchase period. Since the
Company repurchases the units based on the schedule of principal payments, the
repurchase amount is typically less than the original invoice amount. This
lower repurchase amount helps mitigate our loss when we offer the inventory to
another dealer at an amount lower than the original invoice as an incentive for
the dealer to take the repurchased inventory.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 28, 2008,
the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources.

INFLATION
During 2007 and to a lesser extent in the second
quarter of 2008, the Company experienced increases in the prices of certain
commodity items that we use in manufacturing our products. These include, but are not limited to, steel,
copper, aluminum, petroleum, and wood.
Price increases for these raw materials are indicative of widespread
inflationary trends, and they have had an impact on the Companys production
costs. To date, the Company has been
successful in passing along most of these increases by increasing the selling
prices of its products. However, there
is no certainty that the Company will be able to pass these along successfully
in the future. The current trend in
these prices, if it continues, could have a materially adverse impact on the
Companys business going forward.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to warranty
costs, product liability, and impairment of goodwill. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences could
be material. We believe the following critical accounting policies and related
judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
WARRANTY COSTS
Estimated warranty costs are provided for at
the time of sale of products with warranties covering the products for up to
one year from the date of retail sale (five years for the front and sidewall
frame structure, and three years on the Roadmaster chassis). These estimates
are based on historical average repair costs, as well as other reasonable
assumptions as have been deemed appropriate by management.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
The Company provides an estimate for
accrued product liability based on current pending cases, as well as for those
cases which are incurred but not reported. This estimate is developed by legal
counsel based on professional judgment, as well as historical experience.

Table of Contents
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
The Company assesses the potential impairment
of goodwill in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 142. This annual test involves management comparing the fair
value of each of the Companys reporting units, to the respective carrying
amounts, including goodwill, of the net book value of the reporting unit, to
determine if goodwill has been impaired. The Company uses an estimate of
discounted future cash flows to determine fair value for each reporting
unit. Due to the occurrence of trigger
events, an interim test was performed as of June 28, 2008. The assessment indicated goodwill had not been impaired.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company assesses the potential impairment
of long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 144. This test
involves management comparing the fair value of long-lived assets to the
respective carrying amounts when a triggering event necessitate the
assessment. Management reviewed several
of its long-lived assets at June 28, 2008. The only impairment indicated
at June 28, 2008 was for a production facility located in Elkhart, Indiana that
was idled in October 2007 and is listed for sale or lease. Due to the further decline in the real estate
values in that region during the second quarter of 2008 and an impairment
charge of $2.0 million was recorded.
INVENTORY ALLOWANCE
The Company writes down its inventory for
obsolescence, and the difference between the cost of inventory and its
estimated fair market value. These write-downs are based on assumptions about
future sales demand and market conditions. If actual sales demand or market
conditions change from those projected by management, additional inventory
write-downs may be required.
INCOME TAXES
In conjunction with preparing its consolidated
financial statements, the Company must estimate its income taxes in each of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual
current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included
in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company must then assess the likelihood
that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and
to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance
must be established. Significant management judgment is required in determining
the Companys provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities,
and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.
INCENTIVE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company, like many other companies,
sponsors an incentive stock-based compensation plan for key members of the
organization. The related expenses
recognized are subject to complex calculations based on a variety of
assumptions for variables such as risk-free rates of return, stock volatility,
expected terminations, and achievements of financial performance measures. To the extent certain of these variables can
not be known, management uses estimates to calculate the resulting liability.
REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS
Upon request of a lending institution
financing a dealers purchases of the Companys product, the Company will
execute a repurchase agreement. The Company has recorded a liability associated
with the disposition of repurchased inventory. To determine the appropriate
liability, the Company calculates a reserve, based on an estimate of potential
net losses, along with qualitative and quantitative factors, including dealer
inventory turn rates, and the financial strength of individual dealers.
NEWLY ISSUED FINANCIAL
REPORTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ITEM 4. Controls and
Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are
required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our
management including our principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and
that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms.
31
Table
of Contents
Our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of inherent limitations in any system
of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all instances of error or fraud, if any, within the
Company may be detected. However, our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and have, pursuant to the
evaluation discussed above, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level.
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER
INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
We have listed below
various risks and uncertainties relating to our businesses. This list is not
inclusive of all the risks and uncertainties we face, but any of these could
cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by
the forward-looking statements contained in this report or that we may issue
from time to time in the future.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE A NEW CREDIT FACILITY
, OUR OUTSTANDING DEBT COULD BECOME IMMEDIATELY
PAYABLE
As
of June 28, 2008, we had $53.8 million outstanding under our $105 million
line of credit and $25.7 million outstanding on our term loan. As of June 28, 2008, we were in
violation of certain financial covenants under this credit facility. We obtained an agreement from our lenders to
waive the covenant violations as of June 28, 2008; however, we expect that
we will also violate these covenants for the next several quarters. We have signed a commitment letter dated July 29,
2008 with Bank of America as the administrative agent. The commitment letter is subject to a number
of conditions including the negotiation and execution of a definitive credit
agreement. There can be no assurance a definitive
agreement will be reached or that our current lenders will agree to additional
waivers, forbearance, or restructuring of the current debt. Under such
circumstances, the Company could experience severe liquidity problems resulting
in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. In addition, in the event of an incurable default of our
current credit facilities, our current debt could become immediately payable
and we could be forced to seek more costly financing.
THE
RELOCATION OF OUR INDIANA OPERATIONS MAY COST MORE THAN ORIGINALLY
ESTIMATED AND MAY NOT PROVIDE THE COST SAVINGS WE ANTICIPATE
As we move operations from
Indiana to our Oregon facility, as described in Business Changes, we may
incur additional costs for severance, closure costs or contract termination
fees and penalties. As we make these changes for restructuring the business
operations during the third quarter, we will be able to determine actual and
expected costs more accurately. For instance, we are currently unable to
estimate any impairment charges that may result from the closure of our
production facilities in Indiana which have current book values totaling $42.9
million. Appraisals are being conducted to analyze market values of the
properties which will be used in our impairment analysis. The restructuring
also may not fully result in the expected cost savings of $12 million each
quarter. In addition, if the restructuring does not provide the expected
on-going future benefits, we may have to record a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets which currently total $33.7 million. Additional costs and
negative financial results could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE
UNANTICIPATED FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS
Our net sales, gross margin, and
operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a
number of factors, many of which are not readily predictable. These factors
include the following:
·
|
|
Factors affecting the recreational vehicle industry
as a whole, including economic and seasonal factors, such as fuel prices,
interest rates and credit availability.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
The varying margins associated with the mix of
products we sell in any particular period.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
The fact that we typically ship a large amount of
products near quarter end.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
Our ability to utilize and expand our manufacturing
resources efficiently.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
Shortages of materials used in our products.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
The effects of inflation on the costs of materials
used in our products.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
A determination by us that goodwill or other
intangible assets are impaired and have to be written down to their fair
values, resulting in a charge to our results of operations.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
Our ability to introduce new models that achieve
consumer acceptance.
|
32
Table

·
|
|
The introduction, marketing and sale of competing
products by others, including significant discounting offered by our
competitors.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
The addition or loss of our dealers.
|

The timing of trade shows and rallies, which we use

property for on-going resort activity.
|
|
|
|
·
|
|
Fluctuations in demand for our resort lots due to
changing economic and other conditions.
|
Our overall gross margin may decline in future periods
to the extent that we increase the percent of sales of lower gross margin
towable products or if the mix of motor coaches we sell shifts to lower gross
margin units. In addition, a relatively small variation in the number of
recreational vehicles we sell in any quarter can have a significant impact on
total sales and operating results for that quarter.
Demand in the recreational vehicle industry generally
declines during the winter months, while sales are generally higher during the
spring and summer months. With the broader range of products we now offer,
seasonal factors could have a significant impact on our operating results in
the future. Additionally, unusually severe weather conditions in certain
markets could delay the timing of shipments from one quarter to another.
We attempt to forecast orders for our products
accurately and commence purchasing and manufacturing prior to receipt of such
orders. However, it is highly unlikely that we will consistently be able to
accurately forecast the timing, rate, and mix of orders. This aspect of our
business makes our planning inexact and, in turn, affects our shipments, costs,
inventories, operating results, and cash flow for any given quarter.
OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS ARE CYCLICAL AND SUSCEPTIBLE
TO SLOWDOWNS IN THE GENERAL ECONOMY
The recreational vehicle industry has been
characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand,
reflecting prevailing economic, demographic, and political conditions that
affect disposable income for leisure-time activities. Our business is subject
to the cyclical nature of the RV industry and principally the Class A
segment. Some of the factors that contribute to this cyclicality include fuel
availability and costs, interest rate levels, the level of discretionary
spending, and availability of credit and overall consumer confidence.
Increasing interest rates and fuel prices over the last three years have
adversely affected the Class A recreational vehicle market. An extended
continuation of these conditions would materially affect the results of our
operations and financial condition.
Class A unit shipments peaked at approximately
37,300 units in 1994 and declined to approximately 33,000 units in 1995. The Class A
segment then went on a steady climb and in 1999 recorded the highest year, in
recent history, of Class A shipments, approximately 49,400. Over the next
two years motorhome shipments declined to 33,400 in 2001. Class A
shipments then rose for the next three years and in 2004 reached, 46,300. Over
the last three years, however, shipments of Class A motorhomes have
dropped reaching pre-1994 levels of 32,900 in 2007.
The towable segment moved through many of the same
cyclical peaks and troughs historically. The shipment level peaked in 1994 at
201,100 dropping-off to 192,200 in 1996 and then growing to 249,600 in 1999.
Towable unit shipments suffered a two-year drop-off like Class A
motorhomes in 2000 and 2001, dropping to 207,600. Since then, the market has
expanded significantly reaching 334,600 in 2006, but falling in 2007 to
297,900. Unlike the Class A market, the towables segment did not
experience a slow down in 2005 and 2006, because manufacturers have
successfully introduced popular new models and the segment was significantly
aided by units sold to support the hurricane relief efforts in the gulf
coast. The decline in 2007 reflects
consumers uneasiness surrounding the economy, fuel prices and declining real
estate values.
Our recreational vehicle resort properties are also
impacted by the overall recreational vehicle industry. In addition, our real estate investments in
the resort properties are subject to the impacts of lending challenges and
general market declines in the real estate market. As a result, we may experience delays in
developing and selling our resorts.
These delays may result in losses that could materially affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
33
Table
of Contents
WE MAY EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN SALES OF OUR
PRODUCTS DUE TO AN INCREASE IN THE PRICE OR A DECREASE IN THE SUPPLY OF FUEL
An interruption in the supply, or
significant continued increases in the price or tax on the sale, of diesel fuel
or gasoline on a regional or national basis could significantly affect our
business. Diesel fuel and gasoline have, at various times in the past, been
either expensive or difficult to obtain and are currently at an all time
high. We can not predict the long-term
impact continued high prices will have on the RV market.
THE EXPECTED BENEFITS OF THE JOINT VENTURE, CCP, MAY NOT
BE REALIZED
During the
first quarter of 2007, we completed the formation of a joint venture (CCP) with
Navistar, Inc. (NAV) for the purpose of manufacturing diesel chassis. The on-going and anticipated advantages of the
joint venture, which are purchasing synergies, access to engineering and design
expertise from NAV, and improvement of the utilization of our Roadmaster
chassis manufacturing facility in Elkhart, Indiana, may not be realized, in
particular in light of the restructuring changes we are taking in our Indiana
operations as described in Business Changes.
WE DEPEND ON SINGLE OR LIMITED SOURCES TO PROVIDE
US WITH CERTAIN IMPORTANT COMPONENTS THAT WE USE IN THE PRODUCTION OF OUR
PRODUCTS
A number of
important components for our products are purchased from a single or a limited
number of sources. These include chassis from Workhorse and Ford for gas motor
coaches and diesel chassis from our newly formed joint venture with
International Truck and Engine Corporation.
The joint venture sources turbo diesel engines from Cummins and
Caterpillar, substantially all transmissions from Allison and axles from
Dana. We have no long-term supply
contracts with these suppliers or their distributors, and we cannot be certain
that these suppliers will be able to meet our future requirements.
Consequently, the Company has periodically been placed on allocation of these
and other key components. The last significant allocation occurred in 1997 from
Allison, and in 1999 from Ford. An extended delay or interruption in the supply
of any components that we obtain from a single supplier or from a limited
number of suppliers could adversely affect our business, results of operations,
and financial condition.
WE RELY ON A RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF DEALERS
FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR SALES
Although our products were offered by over 700
dealerships located primarily in the United States and Canada as of June 28,
2008, a significant percentage of our sales are concentrated among a relatively
small number of independent dealers. For the quarter ended June 28, 2008,
sales to one dealer, Lazy Days RV Center, accounted for 10.7% of total sales
compared to 9.4% of sales in the same period ended last year. For quarters ended June 30, 2007 and June 28,
2008, sales to our 10 largest dealers,
including Lazy Days RV Center, accounted for a total of 42.7% and 37.0% of
total sales, respectively. The loss of a significant dealer or a substantial
decrease in sales by any of these dealers could have a material impact on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
WE MAY HAVE TO REPURCHASE A DEALERS
INVENTORY OF OUR PRODUCTS IN THE EVENT THAT THE DEALER DOES NOT REPAY ITS
LENDER
As is common in
the recreational vehicle industry, we enter into repurchase agreements with the
financing institutions used by our dealers to finance their purchases of our
products. These agreements require us to repurchase the dealers inventory in
the event that the dealer defaults on its credit facility with its lender.
Obligations under these agreements vary from period to period, but totaled approximately
$487.9 million as of June 28, 2008, with approximately 4.9% concentrated
with one dealer. If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of
units under any repurchase agreement, our business, operating results, and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCE IS SUBJECT TO RISK
We sell our product to dealers who are
predominantly located in the United States and Canada. The terms and conditions
of payment are a combination of open trade receivables and commitments from
dealer floor plan lending institutions. For our RV dealers, terms are net 30
days for units that are financed by a third party lender. Terms of open trade
receivables are granted by us, on a very limited basis, to dealers who have
been subjected to evaluative credit processes conducted by us. For open
receivables, terms vary from net 30 days to net 180 days, depending on the
specific agreement. Agreements for payment terms beyond 30 days generally
require additional collateral, as well as security interest in the inventory
sold. As of June 28, 2008, total trade receivables were $69.1 million,
with approximately $66.5 million, or 96.2% of the outstanding accounts
receivable balance concentrated among floor plan lenders. The remaining $2.6
million of trade receivables were concentrated all with one dealer. For resort
lot customers, funds are required at the time of closing.

OUR INDUSTRY IS VERY COMPETITIVE. WE MUST CONTINUE
TO INTRODUCE NEW MODELS AND NEW FEATURES TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE
The market for our products is very
competitive. We currently compete with a number of manufacturers of motor
coaches, fifth wheel trailers, and travel trailers. Some of these companies
have greater financial resources than we have and extensive distribution
networks. These companies, or new competitors in the industry, may develop
products that customers in the industry prefer over our products due to
features of the products or the pricing of the products.
We believe that the introduction of new products and
new features is critical to our success. Delays in the introduction of new
models or product features, quality problems associated with these
introductions, or a lack of market acceptance of new models or features could
affect us adversely. For example, unexpected costs associated with model
changes have affected our gross margin in the past. Further, new product
introductions can divert revenues from existing models and result in fewer
sales of existing products.
OUR PRODUCTS COULD FAIL TO PERFORM ACCORDING
TO SPECIFICATIONS OR PROVE TO BE UNRELIABLE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO OUR CUSTOMER
RELATIONSHIPS AND OUR REPUTATION AND RESULTING IN LOSS OF SALES
Our customers require demanding
specifications for product performance and reliability. Because our products
are complex and often use advanced components, processes and techniques,
undetected errors and design flaws may occur. Product defects result in higher
product service, warranty and replacement costs and may cause serious damage to
our customer relationships and industry reputation, all of which would
negatively affect our sales and business.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO
VARIOUS TYPES OF LITIGATION, INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITY AND WARRANTY CLAIMS
We are subject to litigation arising in
the ordinary course of our business, typically for product liability and
warranty claims that are common in the recreational vehicle industry. While we
do not believe that the outcome of any pending litigation, net of insurance
coverage, will materially adversely affect our business, results of operations,
or financial condition, we cannot provide assurances in this regard because
litigation is an inherently uncertain process.*
To date, we have been successful in obtaining product
liability insurance on terms that we consider acceptable. The terms of the
policy contain a self-insured retention amount of $500,000 per occurrence, with
a maximum annual aggregate self-insured retention of $3.0 million. Overall
product liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, is available to a
maximum amount of $100.0 million for each occurrence, as well as in the
aggregate. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in
the future at acceptable levels or that the costs of such insurance will be
reasonable. Further, successful assertion against us of one or a series of
large uninsured claims, or of a series of claims exceeding our insurance
coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, and financial condition.
IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE MUST ATTRACT, RETAIN
AND MOTIVATE MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES, AND OUR FAILURE TO
DO SO COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Companys future prospects depend
upon retaining and motivating key management personnel, including Kay L.
Toolson, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John W.
Nepute, the Companys President. The loss of one or more of these key
management personnel could adversely affect the Companys business. The
prospects of the Company also depend in part on its ability to attract and
retain highly skilled engineers and other qualified technical, manufacturing,
financial, managerial, and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel
is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in attracting and retaining such personnel.
OUR STOCK PRICE HAS HISTORICALLY
FLUCTUATED AND MAY CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE
The market price of our Common Stock is subject
to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating
results, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, announcements of new
products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the recreational
vehicle market, and other events or factors. In addition, the stocks of many
recreational vehicle companies have experienced price and volume fluctuations
which have not necessarily been directly related to the companies operating
performance, and the market price of our Common Stock could experience similar
fluctuations. Most recently we have
experienced a significant decline in the market price of our Common Stock,
which has been consistent with the overall RV market.
