MARINEMAX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Company Background

     We were incorporated in Delaware in January 1998, and are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States. We engage primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and used boats, motors, trailers, marine parts, and accessories. As of December 31, 2003, we operated through 66 retail locations in 15 states, consisting of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah.

     We are the nation’s largest retailer of Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, and Hatteras recreational boats and yachts. Sales of new Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, and Hatteras recreational boats and yachts, each of which are manufactured by Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick), accounted for approximately 65% of our revenue in fiscal year 2003. Brunswick is the world’s largest manufacturer of marine products and marine engines. We believe our sales represented in excess of 10% of all Brunswick marine sales during our 2003 fiscal year. Through operating subsidiaries we are a party to dealer agreements with Brunswick covering Sea Ray products and we are the exclusive dealer of Sea Ray boats in our geographic markets. We also have the right to sell Hatteras Yachts throughout the state of Florida (excluding the Florida Panhandle) and the state of Texas, as well as the distribution rights for Hatteras products over 82 feet for North and South America, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas. In August 2002, we were awarded the Meridian Yacht distribution rights to most of our geographic markets, excluding Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. In October 2003, we were appointed the exclusive dealer for Italy-based Ferretti Group for Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva, Apreamare, Mochi Craft, Custom Line, and CRN mega-yachts for the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas, and we have the right to become the exclusive dealer in Mexico and the Caribbean. At the same time, we were also appointed the exclusive dealer for Bertram in the United States (excluding the Florida peninsula and certain portions of New England), Canada, and the Bahamas, and we have the right to become the exclusive dealer in Mexico and certain areas of the Caribbean.

     As is typical in the industry, we deal with manufacturers, other than the Sea Ray division of Brunswick, Ferretti Group, and Bertram, under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which gives us the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements for any reason, including changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect our results of operations. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the type of boats and products that we sell, we believe that other suppliers could provide similar boats and products on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a loss of revenue, which would affect our operating results adversely.

     Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales in the quarterly period ending December 31, with boat sales generally improving in January with the onset of the public boat and recreation shows. Our business could become substantially more seasonal as we acquire dealers that operate in colder regions of the United States.

2. Basis of Presentation

     These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for fair presentation have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004.

     In order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented, certain amounts may have been reclassified from the previously reported consolidated financial statements to conform with the consolidated financial statement presentation of the current period. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

3. Acquisitions

     In October 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Emarine International, Inc. and Steven Myers, Inc. (Emarine), a privately held boat dealership located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for approximately $305,000 in cash. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which based on our initial valuation resulted in the recognition of approximately $300,000 in goodwill, including acquisition costs. The acquisition provides us with an established retail location to sell Ferretti Group products in the Southeast Florida boating community. The asset purchase agreement contains an earn out provision, which may impact the final purchase price annually, based on the future profits of the location through September 2005, assuming certain conditions and provisions are met. Emarine has been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     We account for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). Under this standard, we assess the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of goodwill or an identifiable intangible asset exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss. We measure any potential impairment based on various business valuation methodologies, including a projected discounted cash flow method. We have determined that our only acquired identifiable intangible assets are the dealer agreements, which are indefinite-lived intangibles. We completed the annual impairment test at June 30, 2003, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets. We will continue to test goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment at least annually on June 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets in connection with SFAS 142.

     The changes in the carrying amounts of net goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, based on our valuations, for the three months ended December 31, 2003 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

                   
              Dealer
              Agreement
      Goodwill   Intangibles
     
 
Balance, September 30, 2003
  $ 50,246     $ 2,898  
 
Additions during the period
    265        
 
   
     
 
Balance, December 31, 2003
  $ 50,511     $ 2,898  
 
   
     
 

5. Short-Term Borrowings

     In December 2001, we entered into a revolving credit facility with four financial institutions that provides us a line of credit with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $220 million. The facility also allows us an additional $20 million in traditional floorplan borrowings. The facility has a three-year term, with two one-year renewal options. During November 2002, we exercised the first of the two one-year renewal options, which the bank approved, extending the maturity date to December 2005. The facility accrues interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 175 to 260 basis points, which is determined in accordance with a performance pricing grid, as specified in the credit facility. Borrowings under the facility are pursuant to a borrowing base formula and are used primarily for working capital and inventory financing. The facility requires us to maintain certain financial covenants, including a tangible net worth ratio, among other restrictions. As of December 31, 2003, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Table of Contents

6. Stockholders’ Equity

     During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we issued a total of 56,670 shares of our common stock in conjunction with our Incentive Stock Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Our Incentive Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to acquire our common stock, the grant of common stock, the grant of stock appreciation rights, and the grant of other cash awards to key personnel, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and others providing valuable services to us. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan is available to all our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service.

7. Earnings Per Share

     The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the denominator for calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003:

                 
    2002   2003
   
 
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in calculating basic earnings per share
    15,308,251       15,444,082  
Effect of dilutive options
          836,286  
 
   
     
 
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share
    15,308,251       16,280,368  
 
   
     
 

     Options to purchase 1,366,039 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2002 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of the options would have been anti-dilutive based upon the reported net loss. Options to purchase 267,788 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2003 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

     We account for stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), under which no compensation expense has been recognized in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transitions and Disclosure” (SFAS 148), allows companies to continue following the accounting guidance of APB 25, but requires pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share for the effects of compensation expense had the fair value method of accounting for stock options been adopted. For SFAS 123 purposes, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

     Had compensation expense been determined using the fair value method described in SFAS 123, our net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share, as reported would have been the following for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 (amounts in thousands except per share data):

                   
      2002   2003
     
 
Net (loss) income as reported
  $ (480 )   $ 2,230  
Compensation expense, net of related tax effects
    249       297  
 
   
     
 
Pro forma net (loss) income
  $ (729 )   $ 1,933  
 
   
     
 
Basic earnings per share:
               
 
As reported
  $ (0.03 )   $ 0.14  
 
   
     
 
 
Pro forma
  $ (0.05 )   $ 0.13  
 
   
     
 
Diluted earnings per share:
               
 
As reported
  $ (0.03 )   $ 0.14  
 
   
     
 
 
Pro forma
  $ (0.05 )   $ 0.12

9. Subsequent Events

     Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we amended and increased our $240 million revolving credit facility. The revised agreement provides us a line of credit facility with asset based borrowing availability of up to $260 million and an additional $20 million in traditional floorplan borrowings. The amended facility has a three-year term, with two one-year renewal options. The amended facility adds an additional lender to the facility and maintains similar terms and conditions of the previous facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations, and projections of revenue and other financial items that are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those listed in “Business-Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

General

     We are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States with fiscal year 2003 revenue exceeding $607 million. Through 66 retail locations in 15 states, we sell new and used recreational boats and related marine products, including engines, trailers, parts, and accessories. We also arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended warranty contracts; provide boat repair and maintenance services; and offer yacht or boat brokerage services.

     We were incorporated in Delaware in January 1998. We have significantly expanded our operations through the acquisition of 21 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and one full-service yacht repair facility since our formation. As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with various recreational boat dealers regarding their potential acquisition by us. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including in some cases, management succession and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

     We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

     In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

     We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales, and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or the service is completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. Commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing are recognized when the related boat sales are recognized. Marketing fees earned on credit life, accident and disability, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies are also recognized when the related boat sale is recognized. Commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party companies are recognized at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms as evidenced by contract execution, or when the related boat sale is recognized.

Vendor Consideration Received

     We account for consideration received from our vendors in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (EITF 02-16). EITF 02-16 most significantly requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. As a result of applying this standard and reviewing our new and existing contracts, interest expense increased by approximately $1.0 million and cost of sales decreased by approximately $1.0 million in the first quarter of our 2004 fiscal year.

Inventories

     New and used boat inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or market. Parts and accessories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market. If the carrying amount of our inventory exceeds its fair value, we reduce the carrying amount to reflect fair value. We utilize our historical experience and current sales trends as the basis for our lower of cost or market analysis. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, further reductions may be required.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     We account for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). Under this standard, we assess the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of goodwill or an identifiable intangible asset exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss. We measure any potential impairment based on various business valuation methodologies, including a projected discounted cash flow method. We have determined that our only acquired identifiable intangible assets are the dealer agreements, which are indefinite-lived intangibles. We completed the annual impairment test at June 30, 2003, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets. We will continue to test goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment at least annually on June 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets in connection with SFAS 142. Net goodwill and identifiable intangible assets amounted to $50.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2003.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     We review property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of long-lived assets.

     For a more comprehensive list of our accounting policies, including those which involve varying degrees of judgment, see Note 3 – “Significant Accounting Policies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

Consolidated Results of Operations

     The following discussion compares the three months ended December 31, 2003 to the three months ended December 31, 2002 and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2002

     Revenue. Revenue increased $58.7 million, or 59.9%, to $156.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $98.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Of this increase, $54.8 million was attributable to a 56% growth in comparable-store sales and $3.9 million was attributable to stores not eligible for inclusion in the comparable-store base. The increase in comparable-store sales resulted primarily from an increase in our large boat and yacht sales and revenue from new product lines. Increased sales of used boats, finance, insurance, service, and parts products also contributed to the increase in comparable-store sales.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $11.4 million, or 48.4%, to $35.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $23.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 22.4% in 2003 from 24.1% in 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased sales of larger boats, which historically carry lower gross profits, partially offset by parts and service revenue, which generally yield higher gross profits than boat sales.

     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $6.2 million, or 26.1%, to $30.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $23.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 19.2% in 2003 from 24.3% in 2002. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased revenue and additional leveraging of our expense structure due to our comparable-store sales increase. This decrease was partially offset by an increased level of operations compared to that of the prior year.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $826,000, or 130.5%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $633,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.9% in 2003 from 0.7% in 2002. The primary increase in total interest charges was primarily the result of the impact of EITF 02-16, which most significantly requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. Increased borrowings associated with our revolving credit facility also contributed to the increase in total interest charges. This increase was partially offset by a more favorable interest rate environment.

     Income Tax (Benefit) Provision. Income taxes increased $1.7 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $(300,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Our effective income tax rate remained constant at 38.5%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations, including new and used boats and related parts inventories, off-season liquidity, and growth through acquisitions and new store openings. These cash needs have historically been financed with cash from operations and borrowings under credit facilities. We depend upon dividends and other payments from our consolidated operating subsidiaries to fund our obligations and meet our cash needs. Currently, no agreements exist that restrict this flow of funds.

     For the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, we generated cash flows from operating activities of approximately $4.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to inventory management, including the management of inventory financing. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, in addition to net income, cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to inventory management, including the management of inventory financing.

     For the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities was primarily used in business acquisitions and to purchase property and equipment associated with opening new or improving existing retail facilities.

Table of Contents

     For the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, cash used in financing activities was approximately $319,000 and $232,000, respectively. Cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to repayments on long-term debt.

     As of December 31, 2003, our indebtedness totaled approximately $216.8 million, of which approximately $21.8 million was associated with our real estate holdings and $195.0 million was associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs. At December 31, 2003, our additional available borrowings under the facility were approximately $25.0 million.

     In December 2001, we entered into a revolving credit facility that provides a line of credit with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $220 million. The facility also allows us $20 million in traditional floorplan borrowings. The facility, which has a three-year term with two one-year renewal options, replaces four separate line of credit facilities. In November 2002, we exercised the first of the two one-year renewal options, which the bank approved, extending the maturity date to December 2005. The facility accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 to 260 basis points, which is determined in accordance with a performance pricing grid, as specified in the credit facility. Borrowings under the facility are pursuant to a borrowing base formula and are used primarily for working capital and inventory financing. The terms and conditions of the facility are similar to the terms and conditions of the prior separate line of credit facilities. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we amended and increased our $240 million revolving credit facility. The revised agreement provides us a line of credit facility with asset based borrowing availability of up to $260 million and an additional $20 million in traditional floorplan borrowings. The amended facility has a three-year term, with two one-year renewal options. The amended facility adds an additional lender to the facility and maintains similar terms and conditions of the previous facility.

     As is common in our industry, we receive interest assistance directly from boat manufacturers, including Brunswick. The interest assistance programs vary by manufacturer and generally include periods of free financing or reduced interest rate programs. The interest assistance may be paid directly to us or our lender depending on the arrangements the manufacturer has established. EITF 02-16 most significantly requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. See Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Application of Critical Accounting Policies – Vendor Consideration Received” for further discussion of this standard.

     During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we issued a total of 56,670 shares of our common stock in conjunction with our Incentive Stock Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Our Incentive Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to acquire our common stock, the grant of common stock, the grant of stock appreciation rights, and the grant of other cash awards to key personnel, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and others providing valuable services to us. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan is available to all our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service.

     During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we completed the acquisition of Emarine International, Inc. and Steven Myers, Inc. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed or retired certain liabilities, including the outstanding inventory floor plan obligations related to the new boat inventories, for approximately $305,000 in cash, including acquisition costs. The asset purchase agreement contains an earn out provision, which may impact the final purchase price annually, based on the future profits of the location through September 2005, assuming certain conditions and provisions are met.

     Except as specified in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the attached condensed consolidated financial statements, we have no material commitments for capital for the next 12 months. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, except for possible significant acquisitions.

Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Operations

     Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales in the

13

quarterly period ending December 31, with boat sales generally improving in January with the onset of the public boat and recreation shows. Our business could become substantially more seasonal as we acquire dealers that operate in colder regions of the United States.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     At December 31, 2003, approximately 94% of our short- and long-term debt bears interest at variable rates, generally tied to a reference rate such as the LIBOR rate or the prime rate of interest of certain banks. Changes in interest rates on loans from these financial institutions could affect our earnings due to interest rates charged on certain underlying obligations that are variable. At December 31, 2003, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate obligations would result in an increase of approximately $2.0 million in annual pre-tax interest expense. This estimated increase is based upon the outstanding balances of all of our variable rate obligations and assumes no mitigating changes by us to reduce the outstanding balances or additional interest assistance that would be received from vendors due to the hypothetical interest rate increase.

     Products purchased from the Italy-based Ferretti Group are subject to fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate, which ultimately may impact the retail price at which we can sell such products. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of the Euro as compared with the U.S. dollar may impact the price points at which we can sell profitably Ferretti Group products, and such price points may not be competitive with other product lines in the United States. Accordingly, such fluctuations in exchange rates ultimately may impact the amount of revenue or cost of goods sold, cash flows, and earnings we recognize for the Ferretti Group product line. The impact of these currency fluctuations could increase, particularly as our revenue from the Ferretti Group products increase as a percentage of our total revenue. We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. We do not currently intend to engage in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions to manage our foreign currency exposure. If and when we do engage in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions, we cannot assure that our strategies will adequately protect our operating results from the effects of exchange rate fluctuations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our quarterly reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. During the quarterly period covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

     Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other facts that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

No Property of the Borrowers shall be included in the Borrowing Base if (1) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, does not have a first priority security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent applicable, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such Property, (2) any other Person has a Preferred Ship's Mortgage on a Documented Vessel included in the Borrowing Base that has not been extinguished by payment in full and delivery of a written satisfaction of such Preferred Ship's Mortgage, irrespective of whether such satisfaction has been filed with the Coast Guard or whether such Preferred Ship's Mortgage is a Permitted Lien, or (3) any other Person has a perfected purchase money security interest in such Property, irrespective of whether such purchase money security interest is a Permitted Lien.

The following rules shall govern the amount of the Advances: (1) The aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances may equal but shall never exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount, and (B) the Borrowing Base. (2) In addition to the other restrictions set forth in this Agreement (whether in the definition of "Borrowing Base" or elsewhere): (A) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Used Inventory shall never exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate funded amount of the outstanding Advances; (B) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Accounts shall never exceed twenty million dollars ($20,000,000); (C) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of both the Eligible New Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and the Eligible Used Inventory of Hatteras Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate fifty million dollars ($50,000,000); (D) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of both the Eligible New Inventory of Ferretti Yachts and the Eligible Used Inventory of Ferretti Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate fifty million dollars ($50,000,000); (E) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of (i) the Eligible New Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and Ferretti Yachts and (ii) the Eligible Used Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and Ferretti Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate seventy million dollars ($70,000,000); (F) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of Loose Outboard Motors in the Eligible New Inventory shall never exceed one million, five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000); and (G) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Parts Inventory shall never exceed eight million dollars ($8,000,000). (3) No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Advance in respect of the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto, the principal amount of such Lender's total outstanding Advances would exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment Amount. Because the Commitment creates a revolving credit facility, the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitment, repay such Advances without premium or penalty, and reborrow prior to the Termination Date in accordance with this Agreement.

Display at each Dealer Location that Product warranty information required by applicable law and furnish and make known to the first-use purchaser at the time of delivery the appropriate operations and maintenance manual provided by Hatteras, the Product installation instructions, if any, together with Hatteras' written limited warranty, including all disclaimers and limitations thereto. C. Expressly inform the purchaser in writing of the terms of the Hatteras Limited Warranty that no Hatteras warranty applies if the Product is "used", which includes personal or substantial demonstration (excluding reasonable sea trials and demos for prospective customers or for marketing purposes at Rendezvous) use by the Dealer unless Hatteras expressly authorizes such warranty in writing. 5 No Product warranty shall apply if the design or material of the Product is substantially modified without the express authorization of Hatteras in writing. D. Provide timely warranty service on all Product presented to Dealer by purchasers in accordance with Hatteras' then current warranty service program. Dealer agrees to make all claims for reimbursement under Hatteras' warranty service program in the manner prescribed by Hatteras. Hatteras may revise its warranty service program from time to time, providing Dealer with written notification of all revisions and those revisions will supersede all previous programs. E. Provide Hatteras with access to its books and records and provide such additional documentation which Hatteras may reasonably request to verify the accuracy of the warranty claims submitted to Hatteras by Dealer and the service provided by Dealer with regard to such warranty claims. In the event Hatteras finds errors in the aggregate greater than 5% for claims submitted by Dealer and paid by Hatteras, Hatteras may calculate the percentage rate of error, and using that percentage rate of error, extrapolate the amount owed to Hatteras for up to three (3) prior years of paid claims made by Hatteras to Dealer. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, Dealer shall either pay the extrapolated amount to Hatteras or pay the cost of a full audit by Hatteras or Hatteras' designee and pay to Hatteras that amount, if any, found to be owing to Hatteras as a result of such audit. If the audit is unfounded, then Hatteras agrees to pay for the audit. Hatteras agrees to honor all legitimate warranty claims on Products when made by purchaser through Dealer in the manner prescribed by Hatteras.

Dealer shall not use Identification or advertise outside of the Territory without Hatteras' express written consent, except as outlined in the attached Addendum.

In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Dealer shall immediately discontinue use of Identification in any way whatsoever and shall thereafter not use, either 6 directly or indirectly, any Identification or any confusingly similar Identification in a manner likely to confuse, mistake or deceive the public. 14. Performance Standards: Hatteras, after consultation with Dealer, may establish fair and reasonable standards of sales performance for the Dealership. Such standards are based on factors such as population, sales potential, market share percentage of the Products sold in the Territory as compared to competitive products sold in the Territory, economic conditions at the Dealer Location(s), competition from other marine dealerships in the area, past sales history, number of locations, and any special circumstances that may affect the sale of Products or the Dealer. Sales performance under this Agreement is agreed to as shown on attached Exhibit A, the Dealer Commitment Acknowledgment and Addendum. s 15. No Agency Created: It is understood and agreed that Dealer is not, nor shall it at any time represent itself to be, the agent, employee, representative or franchisee of Hatteras. Dealer shall not enter into any contract or commitment in the name of or on behalf of Hatteras. Hatteras has no fiduciary duty to Dealer pursuant to the Agreement or the relationship between the parties. 16. Term of Agreement - Termination: A. Upon execution by Hatteras, the term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2003 until June 30, 2004 subject, however, to the provisions set forth below and in Paragraph 18 that provide for earlier termination and except as noted in the addendum.

Either party may, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other stating the reasons therefore, terminate this Agreement upon the other party's breaching or defaulting or failing to comply with any material obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or duty imposed herein that is applicable to such other party and is an essential condition of this Agreement, and provided that the breach or default has not been cured during the notification period. If the breach or default is not subject to cure (such as the commission of an act of bad faith), this Agreement may be terminated immediately, effective upon notice to the breaching or defaulting party. D. This Agreement may be immediately terminated by a party upon written notice to the other party if any of the following occur with regard to the other party: (1) the other party ceases to exist; (2) the other party becomes insolvent or takes or fails to take any action which constitutes an admission of inability to pay debts as they mature; (3) the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors to an agent authorized to liquidate any substantial amount of assets; (4) the other party becomes a subject of an "order for relief" within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (5) the other party applies to a court for the appointment of a receiver for any assets or properties; or, (6) the other party makes a fraudulent misrepresentation that is material to this Agreement. 7 E.

G. On or before the termination of this Agreement, Dealer shall provide written notice to Hatteras of all unsold Products subject to possible repurchase by Hatteras or appropriate financial institution who financed Dealer's Product inventory, including Product serial numbers and the Dealer's net purchase price for each Product, except as outlined in the Addendum.

Such standards are based on factors such as population, sales potential, market share percentage of the Products sold in the Territory as compared to competitive products sold in the Territory, economic conditions at the Dealer Location(s), competition from other marine dealerships in the area, past sales history, number of locations, and any special circumstances that may affect the sale of Products or the Dealer. Sales performance under this Agreement is agreed to as shown on attached Exhibit A, the Dealer Commitment Acknowledgment and Addendum. 15. No Agency Created: It is understood and agreed that Dealer is not, nor shall it at any time represent itself to be, the agent, employee, representative or franchisee of Hatteras. Dealer shall not enter into any contract or commitment in the name of or on behalf of Hatteras. Hatteras has no fiduciary duty to Dealer pursuant to the Agreement or the relationship between the parties. 16 16. Term of Agreement - Termination: A. Upon execution by Hatteras, the term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2003 until June 30, 2004 subject, however, to the provisions set forth below and in Paragraph 18 that provide for earlier termination and except as noted in the addendum. B. Hatteras will give at least sixty (60) days notice prior to expiration of the Agreement of its intent not to enter into a new Agreement with Dealer unless: (1) Dealer fails or refuses to place a minimum stocking order of the next model year's Products, or (2) Dealer fails to meet its financial obligations as they become due to either Hatteras or lender(s) financing Products. Dealer agrees to provide Hatteras written notice of its intent not to enter a new Agreement at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of this Agreement. Neither party is under any obligation express or implied, to renew or extend this Agreement or to enter into a new Agreement upon expiration, except as outlined in the Addendum. Sale of Product to Dealer after termination shall not be deemed renewal or extension of this Agreement. C. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual consent of the parties. Either party may, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other stating the reasons therefore, terminate this Agreement upon the other party's breaching or defaulting or failing to comply with any material obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or duty imposed herein that is applicable to such other party and is an essential condition of this Agreement, and provided that the breach or default has not been cured during the notification period. If the breach or default is not subject to cure (such as the commission of an act of bad faith), this Agreement may be terminated immediately, effective upon notice to the breaching or defaulting party. D. This Agreement may be immediately terminated by a party upon written notice to the other party if any of the following occur with regard to the other party: (1) the other party ceases to exist; (2) the other party becomes insolvent or takes or fails to take any action which constitutes an admission of inability to pay debts as they mature; (3) the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors to an agent authorized to liquidate any substantial amount of assets; (4) the other party becomes a subject of an "order for relief" within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (5) the other party applies to a court for the appointment of a receiver for any assets or properties; or, (6) the other party makes a fraudulent misrepresentation that is material to this Agreement. E. This Agreement may be terminated immediately by Hatteras upon the occurrence of those matters described in Paragraph 18.A. below. F. This Agreement may be terminated by Hatteras (notwithstanding and in addition to the provisions of subparagraph C and other subparagraphs) upon the giving of at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Dealer where there are unpaid sums due and owing to Hatteras that remain unpaid, in whole or part, at the end of such notice period, unless such amount is disputed in good faith by Dealer. G. On or before the termination of this Agreement, Dealer shall provide written notice to Hatteras of all unsold Products subject to possible repurchase by Hatteras or appropriate financial institution who financed Dealer's Product inventory, including Product serial numbers and the Dealer's net purchase price for each Product, except as outlined in the Addendum. Upon the termination of this agreement, except as noted in the Addendum, (including expiration and failure to enter into a new agreement), Dealer shall offer to sell to Hatteras or Hatteras' designee, at Dealer's net purchase price (not including transportation, insurance, freight or financing costs), less any discounts or rebates previously paid by Hatteras' program ("Dealer Purchase Price"), Dealer's entire stock of Products in a new and unused (non demo as described in paragraph 10 c) condition. Hatteras shall have thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement to 17 accept Dealer's offer of sale, which acceptance shall be provided by a written notice given to dealer. If Hatteras terminates this Agreement prior to its expiration date without cause, Hatteras will offer to purchase Dealer's entire unsold stock of Products in a new and unused (non demo as described in paragraph 10c) condition at the Dealer Purchase Price, which offer must be accepted by a written notice provided to Hatteras within ten (10) days after termination of this Agreement. Except as expressly described herein, Hatteras shall not be obligated to repurchase Products if this Agreement is terminated or expires or is not renewed, except as noted in the attached Addendum. Dealer shall sell such Products to Hatteras or its designee, and such repurchase is conditional upon Dealer's ability to sell such Products, with good and merchantable title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Dealer shall deliver all title documentation requested by Hatteras and Dealer shall execute a limited power of attorney on behalf of Hatteras for purposes of executing all necessary title documentation. Payment for purchased Product shall be, at Hatteras' option, by credit, offset or payment made to dealer within ten (10) days after Hatteras' acceptance of the purchased Product, subject as where noted with specific side agreements. H. If Hatteras terminates or Hatteras and Dealer mutually terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration date, provided the termination is not for quality of service, fraud, or financial instability or insolvency of Dealer, Hatteras will nevertheless continue to sell warranty parts and accessories for Products on a cash on delivery basis for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months from the warranty activation period of the last Hatteras Product delivered by the Dealer in order that Dealer may continue to provide warranty service on Products which have outstanding warranties. J. Any period of time described in the Agreement shall be modified to include such different period of time that may be required by applicable law. 17. Governing Law: This Agreement has been signed by Dealer on the date reflected below, and shall become binding upon the execution by Hatteras at its headquarters in North Carolina, U.S.A. This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and construed according to the laws of the State of North Carolina, U.S.A., without regard to applicable conflicts of law. 18. Assignability: A. This appointment and Agreement is made and entered into with the distinct understanding that it is personal with Dealer and Dealer's affiliates and is not, whether by operation of law or otherwise, assignable or in any part delegable or transferable unless the express written consent of Hatteras is obtained provided, however, that Dealer may assign the appointment and this Agreement to a subsidiary or affiliate without consent, by informing the assignment in writing to Hatteras. Unless first approved by Hatteras in writing, any purported assignment, delegation or subcontracting of Dealer's rights and obligations under this Agreement in contravention of this Agreement or any change in control in contravention of this Agreement may immediately render this Agreement, at Hatteras' option, terminated. Any unconsented to assignment in contravention of this Agreement shall, at Hatteras' option, be deemed void. 19. Notices: Any written notice given pursuant to this Agreement shall be either hand delivered (by courier or otherwise), or mailed, postage prepaid, by Registered or Certified Mail, return receipt requested, to the party at the respective principal place of business first above written. Notice may also be given by fax if a copy is also mailed in the manner described herein. Such notice shall be deemed to be given upon first receipt. A change of address may be given by such notice. 20. Entire Agreement - Non-Waiver - Separability: This Agreement and the attached Addendum contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and may not be 18 amended or modified except by written instrument signed by Hatteras and Dealer that expressly states that the writing constitutes a rider or modification to this Agreement, provided that Hatteras may at its sole discretion and from time to time make changes to Dealer Programs and Hatteras' Internet Policy upon the giving of notice to Dealer. This Agreement and the Addendum attached hereto terminates and replaces all prior agreements made between the parties and there are no other agreements regarding the matters herein provided that each party shall remain obligated to the other for any monies owed under such prior agreements between the parties, and except for payments to be made to Dealer in the ordinary course of business there are no other monies, claims or actions which may give rise to or result in any compensation or monies being owed to Dealer by Hatteras. Failure on the part of Hatteras or Dealer to enforce any term of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof. Any provision of this Agreement which in any way contravenes or is unenforceable under applicable law shall not apply and shall be deemed separable and not to be a part of this Agreement without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions. The Hatteras Dealer Programs and Policies and their content as well as the Hatteras Internet Policy is incorporated herein by reference. Dealer represents to Hatteras that it is not aware of any claims, causes of action or disputes that it has or may assert against Hatteras that arise out of or have accrued prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Dealer further represents to Hatteras that Dealer has not breached or otherwise violated any material term or condition of any previous Agreement with Hatteras. 21. Guarantee: As a condition for Hatteras' entering into this Agreement, MarineMax has signed this document as evidence of its irrevocable guarantee of the Dealer's performance of all the financial duties and financial obligations provided for in this Agreement. 22. Disputes. All disputes, controversies or claims connected with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, or any modification, extension or renewal thereof, or to any causes of action that result from such relationship, shall be subject exclusively to the remedy of arbitration described herein, including but not limited to sums due under this Agreement, the interpretation, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement, and claim for damages or rescission, a breach or default of this Agreement, the creation, termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement (such as a dispute regarding the causes, validity or circumstances of the termination, nonextension, or nonrenewal), and trade regulations or antitrust claims, whether such controversies or claims are in law or equity or include claims based upon contract, statute, tort or otherwise. All controversies shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1-16, as amended, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of the arbitration shall be at Raleigh, North Carolina. Dealer consents to personal jurisdiction of such court, including the federal and state courts located in the State of North Carolina. The arbitrator is not empowered to and shall not award damages in excess of actual damages and in no event shall the arbitrator award punitive, special or consequential damages, or prejudgment interest. This Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Except for sums owing to Hatteras all arbitration claims and proceedings must be instituted within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, and the failure to institute arbitration proceedings within such period shall constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings and a waiver and relinquishment of all such claims. 23. Miscellaneous: Except as expressly described to the contrary in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of each party are not exclusive and where consent or approval is to be given that party may withhold such consent or approval for any reason. 19 24. Confidentiality: Hatteras shall maintain in confidence all Dealer proprietary and confidential information which is disclosed to Hatteras. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Hatteras and Dealer have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
