Coachmen Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Coachmen Industries, Inc. (“the Company”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Management believes the disclosures made in this document are adequate so as not to make the information presented misleading.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Statement of Operations Classification - Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its classification of delivery expenses in the statement of operations to include these expenses as a component of cost of sales.  Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company classified delivery expenses as an operating expense. This change is considered a change in accounting principle pursuant to the provisions of FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and will be reported by retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements.  This change in accounting principle is considered preferable as it was made to conform the classification of these expenses on the statement of operations to the classification of such expenses by other companies in our industry.  The effect of this change on the three months ended March 31, 2007 was an increase of costs of sales and a decrease of operating expenses by approximately $6.9 million.   The Company applied the change retrospectively by reclassifying approximately $8.2 million of delivery expenses from operating expenses to cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  This change has no effect on income from continuing operations, net income or per share amounts for any period presented.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 2006 consolidated financial statements and related footnotes to conform to the presentation used in 2007.

2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION.

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its business by product category. The Company's two reportable segments are Recreational Vehicles and Housing. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on net sales and pre-tax income and allocates resources to them based on performance. There are no inter-segment revenues. The Company allocates certain corporate expenses to these segments based on three dimensions: revenues, subsidiary structure and number of employees. In addition, the data excludes the results of the discontinued operations (see Note 9). Differences between reported segment amounts and corresponding consolidated totals represent corporate income or expenses for administrative functions and income, costs or expenses relating to property and equipment that are not allocated to segments.

The table below presents information about segments, used by the chief operating decision maker of the Company for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Other current liabilities		2,151		2,758
Total	$	36,604	$	35,116

Changes in the Company's warranty liability during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands): 

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Balance of accrued warranty at beginning of period	$	11,099		$	20,005
Warranties issued during the period and changes in liability for pre-existing warranties		5,363			6,536

Balance of accrued warranty at March 31	$	10,132		$	16,605

The decrease in the warranty accrual for 2007 was primarily the result of specific reserves established in the later half of 2005 related to the recall of defective camping trailer lift systems and the repair of defective material used in laminated sidewalls of certain of the Company’s recreational vehicles. Most of the claims against these reserves were paid during 2006 and the first three months of 2007.

- 8 -

6.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS).

The changes in the components of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Net income (loss)	$	(10,448	)	$	2,910
Unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges, net of taxes		(4	)		18
Comprehensive income (loss)	$	(10,452	)	$	2,928

As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, relating to deferred losses on cash flow hedges was ($14,000) and $12,000, respectively.

7.    EARNINGS PER SHARE.

Basic earnings per 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 stock options and awards and shares held in deferred compensation plans. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31 were calculated using the average shares as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Numerator:
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	(10,448	)	$	2,910
Denominator:
Number of shares outstanding, end of period:
Weighted average number of common shares used in basic EPS		15,700			15,593
Effect of dilutive securities		-			57
Weighted average number of common shares used in diluted EPS		15,700			15,650

As the Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the dilutive effect of stock options and awards did not enter into the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, 73,075 shares of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market prices for the respective periods and their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

- 9 -

8.   INCOME TAXES.

Prior to recognizing a valuation allowance, the effective tax rate for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 was a credit of (43.1%) compared with a 2006 first quarter effective tax rate from continuing operations of 34.6%. The Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates based upon estimated annual pre-tax income amounts, the states where sales occur, nontaxable increases in cash value of life insurance contracts, other permanent tax differences, increases or decreases in tax reserves and valuation allowances and recognized federal and state tax credits. Due to the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years, a valuation allowance of $4.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with the losses from the first quarter of 2007, essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero. As with the deferred tax valuation allowance taken at the end of 2006, the tax benefit associated with the current quarter’s losses may be utilized to offset future taxable income.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million including interest and penalties. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits during the first quarter ending March 31, 2007. If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by approximately $1.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest and operating expenses, respectively. The amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2007 and the amount of interest and penalties recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were not considered to be significant.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing an audit by the Internal Revenue Service for a claim for research and development credits. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months as a result of the audit. Based on the current audit in process, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase by approximately $1.1 million or decrease by $4.6 million.

For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003.

9.RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

During 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a comprehensive operational and cost structure realignment and restructuring plan (the Intensive Recovery Plan), which is intended to improve operating performance and ensure financial strength.

When describing the impact of these restructuring plans, determinations of the fair value of long-lived assets were based upon comparable market values for similar assets.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed the sale of two parcels of the former Georgie Boy manufacturing complex for approximately $0.6 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.3 million. Also during the quarter, the Company completed the sale of vacant farmland in Middlebury, Indiana for cash of approximately $0.1 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.1 million.

On March 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a property located in Grapevine, Texas for approximately $2.0 million, consisting of cash of $1.7 million and a note receivable of $0.3 million and resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.8 million. Also during the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of vacant farmland in Middlebury, Indiana for cash of approximately $1.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.8 million.

Housing Segment

On March 31, 2006, The Company sold 100% of its interest in the capital stock of Miller Building Systems, Inc. for $11.5 million, consisting of cash of $9.0 and a $2.5 million secured note. The note, which is included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is to be repaid over 5 years and bears interest at the 1 year LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum with quarterly interest payments beginning September 30, 2006. Principal payments of $125,000 per quarter commence on June 30, 2009 and continue through the maturity date of March 31, 2011.

- 10 -

9.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, continued.

In addition, the Company accepted a $2.0 million contingent earn-out note which will be paid to the Company if certain income metrics are achieved by the acquiring entity. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, the division qualified as a separate component of the Company’s business and as a result, the 2006 operating results of the division have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. In connection with this sale, $1.7 million of industrial revenue bonds were paid off as of March 31, 2006. During April 2006, the Company terminated the $1.5 million and $235,000 interest rate swaps that had been associated with these revenue bonds. Net sales of Miller Building Systems, Inc. for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $7.0 million, and the pre-tax loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $(0.7) million.

In conjunction with the sale of Miller Building Systems, Inc., during the fourth quarter of 2005 management allocated goodwill of $0.6 million to Miller Building Systems from the Housing Segment, based on the relative fair value of the discontinued operations to the entire Segment. The $0.6 million allocated goodwill was written off as part of the 2005 loss from discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2006, an additional $0.3 million of goodwill was allocated to Miller Building Systems based on the final sales price relative to the fair value of the entire Housing Segment. The additional $0.3 million of allocated goodwill was written off as part of the 2006 gain on sale of assets of discontinued operations.

Recreational Vehicle Segment

On January 13, 2006, the Company sold all operating assets of Prodesign, LLC. The total sales price was $8.2 million, of which the Company received $5.7 million in cash, a $2.0 million promissory note and $0.5 million to be held in escrow to cover potential warranty claims and uncollectible accounts receivable, as defined in the sale agreement. The promissory note is to be repaid over a period of 10 years, using an amortization period of 15 years, and bears interest at 6% per annum with interest only payments being required in the first three years. The funds remaining in the escrow account reverted to the Company in February 2007 per the sales agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Prodesign qualified as a separate component of the Company’s business and as a result, the 2006 operating results of Prodesign have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. In conjunction with the classification of Prodesign as a discontinued operation, management allocated goodwill of $0.3 million to the discontinued operations from the Recreational Vehicle Segment goodwill based on the relative fair value of the discontinued operations to the Recreational Vehicle Segment. The $0.3 million of allocated goodwill was included in the calculation of the final gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of 2006. Net sales of Prodesign for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, were $3.6 million and the pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $0.2 million.

10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

Obligation to Purchase Consigned Inventories

The Company obtains vehicle chassis for its recreational vehicle products directly from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. The agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis at the Company's various production facilities under the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreement. Chassis are accounted for as consigned inventory until assigned to a unit in the production process. At that point, the Company is obligated to purchase the chassis and it is recorded as inventory. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, chassis inventory, accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $10.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company was contingently liable at March 31, 2007 to banks and other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by such institutions to most of the Company's independent dealers in connection with their purchase of the Company's recreational vehicle products. These agreements provide for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a dealer's default. Products repurchased from dealers under these agreements are accounted for as a reduction in revenue and cost of sales at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability approximates $185.6 million at March 31, 2007 ($187.0 million at December 31, 2006), the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company's numerous dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. Based on losses previously experienced under these obligations, the Company has established a reserve for estimated losses under repurchase agreements. At both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0.3 million was recorded as an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.

10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued.

The Company was also contingently liable at March 31, 2007 to a financial institution on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by the institution to certain of the Company's independent home builders in connection with their purchase of the Company's housing products. This agreement provides for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a builder's default. Products repurchased from builders under this agreement are accounted for as a reduction in revenue and cost of sales at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability approximates $16.5 million at March 31, 2007 ($16.2 million at December 31, 2006), the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company's numerous builders and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. The Company has evaluated the potential for losses under this agreement and has recorded an accrual of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 for estimated losses under the repurchase agreement.

Corporate Guarantees

The Company was contingently liable under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $6.4 million at March 31, 2007 and $3.9 million at December 31, 2006. The Company has an agreement with a financial institution to form a private-label financing program to provide wholesale inventory financing to the Company's dealers in the Recreational Vehicle Segment. The agreement provides for a preferred program that provides financing that is subject to the standard repurchase agreement described above. In addition, the agreement provides for a reserve pool whereby the financial institution makes available an aggregate line of credit not to exceed $40 million that will provide financing for dealers that may not otherwise qualify for credit approval under the preferred program.

No dealer being provided financing from the reserve pool can receive an aggregate line of credit exceeding $5 million. In addition to the standard repurchase agreement described above, at March 31, 2007 the Company was contingently liable to the financial institutions up to a maximum of $2.0 million of aggregate losses, as defined by the agreement, incurred by the financial institutions on designated dealers with higher credit risks that are accepted into the reserve pool financing program. The Company is liable up to a maximum of $2.0 million of aggregate losses annually. The Company has recorded a loss reserve of $0.1 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 associated with these guarantees.

The Company is liable under an agreement to guarantee the indebtedness incurred by a recreational vehicle dealer towards the purchase of a dealership facility. The guarantee is in the principal amount of $1 million for a period of five years or until all indebtedness has been fully paid, whichever occurs first. The Company has evaluated the potential for losses under this agreement and has determined that the resolution of any claims that may arise in the future would not materially affect the Company's financial statements.

In addition, the Company is liable under a guarantee to a financial institution for model home financing provided to certain independent builders doing business with the Company's Housing Segment. The amount outstanding under this agreement at March 31, 2007 is $0.4 million ($0.4 million at December 31, 2006). Any losses incurred under this guarantee would be offset by the proceeds from the resale of the model home and losses are limited to 20% of the original contract price, and cannot exceed a total of $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2007, no losses have been incurred by the Company under the model home financing program. 

Financing Obligation

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to provide financing of up to $4.9 million to a developer for the construction of a hotel for which the Company was to provide modular units. As of March 31, 2007, the Company provided $2.3 million in financing to the developer under this arrangement. The loans are collateralized by a first priority interest in all tangible and intangible property of the borrower. The developer was unable to obtain a building permit, so the Company is pursuing its legal remedies through litigation to recoup the financing extended to date. No additional funding has been or will be provided. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company obtained title to the real estate that was partial collateral for this Note. In the event the sale of the property does not generate proceeds sufficient to cover the financing previously provided, the Company will continue pursuing its legal remedies to recover any shortfall. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has reserved an amount for which Management believes the Company may not recover, however, there is a potential for exposure in excess of the amount reserved.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued.

Litigation

During 2005, the Company settled a personal injury suit for $5.0 million, $1.0 million of which was paid by the Company’s primary insurance carrier. The Company’s self-insured retention is $250,000. During 2005, the Company paid $1.5 million in addition to the amount paid by its primary carrier and recorded another current liability of $2.5 million to recognize the remaining amount to be paid on the settlement and the $250,000 retention. During June 2006, the remaining liability of $2.5 million was paid. Since the excess carrier initially denied coverage, the Company filed suit against the excess carrier to enforce coverage.

During the first quarter of 2006, the matter was settled for $2.875 million, which the Company received on March 15, 2006 and was recorded as a reduction to the RV Segment’s general and administrative expenses. There remains ongoing litigation against other parties to recover the balance over the retention.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company also entered into a partial settlement of another insurance matter for $0.75 million, net of a contingency fee.  This amount was recorded as a reduction to the Company's general and administrative expenses in the first quarter. The settlement was received during the second quarter of 2006.

On November 21, 2006 the Company received a summons from the Internal Revenue Service which requires the Company to produce various documents relating to its research and development claims filed with the Internal Revenue Service for the tax years 1999 through 2004. On March 6, 2007 the Company received an additional summons from the Internal Revenue Service related to this matter regarding tax years 1984 through 1988.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings, most of which are ordinary disputes incidental to the industry and most of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters and any liabilities in excess of insurance coverage and self-insurance accruals will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, future business operations or cash flows.

11.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the period that the awards are expected to vest. Restricted stock and stock options issued under the Company’s equity plans, as well as, stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan are subject to the provisions of SFAS 123R. Since the adoption of SFAS 123R, there have been no modifications to outstanding stock-based awards.

Stock options generally vest over a four-year service period. The Company has not granted any stock option awards since 2003. Compensation expense related to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not significant for the first quarter of 2007.

On January 10, 2007, the Company granted Restricted Stock Awards to certain key employees as a means of retaining and rewarding them for performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. The awards are governed by the Company’s 2000 Omnibus Stock Plan. Participants will earn the restricted shares awarded to them based on attainment of certain performance goals for the calendar year 2007. If the Company meets the minimum, threshold and maximum target levels of pre-tax profits, the participants will earn corresponding levels of awards. To the extent the Company meets the performance goals for the year, and the participant remains employed by the Company during the vesting period, the earned restricted shares will vest and be delivered to the participants over a three-year vesting period: one-third on January 1, 2009, one-third on January 1, 2010 and one-third on January 1, 2011. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as the awards contingently vest over the performance and service periods. A total of 139,500 shares, assuming 100% of the performance goal is achieved, were granted with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $10.80 per share. At March 31, 2007, the Company determined that it was not yet probable that the minimum target of the performance goal would be achieved; therefore, no compensation expense was recorded related to this plan for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $130.2 million, a decrease of $32.4 million, or 19.9%, from the $162.6 million reported for the corresponding quarter last year. The Company’s Recreational Vehicle Segment experienced a net sales decrease of 13.1% compared to the prior year’s first quarter as a result of the weakness in the RV industry which continued in the first quarter. Through February, industry wholesale shipments of all types of RV’s declined 16.3%. For the quarter, RV Segment wholesale unit shipments of all product types decreased by 17.8% to 3,953 units. It is important to note that in the first quarter of 2006, 1,132 hurricane relief trailers were shipped, and excluding the hurricane relief shipments, total wholesale unit shipments would have increased by 7.3%. Shipments of motorized products fell 9.8% to 983 units. Shipments of non-motorized products decreased by 20.1% to 2,970 units, although without hurricane relief units, non-motorized unit shipments would have increased 14.9%. While total backlogs decreased from the first quarter of 2006 by 1,057 units to a total of 1,417 units at March 31, 2007, the entire decline is attributable to non-motorized units, specifically travel trailers. Year over year comparisons are once again difficult due to the impact of hurricane relief production on prior year backlogs. Motorized backlogs are up 10.3% compared to a year ago, and significantly, Class C backlogs are comparable, while production rates of Class C product are more than 25% higher than a year ago.

The Company’s Housing Segment experienced a net sales decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of 38.9%, from $42.7 million during the first quarter of 2006 to $26.1 million for the first quarter of 2007. Wholesale unit shipments were down 45.0%. The national housing market continues to decline as evidenced by U.S. Census Bureau data showing single-family housing starts declining 24.6% from March 2006. Housing starts in the Midwest continued to slump, as evidenced by the decline of 38% for the first three months of 2007.

The Housing Segment continues its efforts to grow its traditional business by pursuing a number of avenues to enhance the design and marketing of single-family homes, with exciting new products including the new Craftsman collection introduced in the first quarter. The Housing Segment continues to pursue opportunities for larger projects in multi-family residential and commercial markets. In the first quarter, the Company’s All American Building Systems (AABS) commercial business unit signed the final agreement for the military housing project at Fort Bliss in Texas with a value in excess of $11.5 million. Management expects deliveries to commence in the second quarter.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales decreased 17.5%, or $27.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 98.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to 96.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The change in the dollar amount of cost of sales in the current quarter is attributable to the decrease in sales dollars. The negative change in the percentage of cost of sales and the corresponding gross profit is attributable to the increased discounting of RV products, a shift in RV product mix to lower margin products, production delays for some larger Housing construction projects and the reduced operating leverage resulting from significantly lower production levels - consolidated production volumes declined 22% compared to the first quarter of 2006.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its classification of delivery expenses in the statement of operations to include these expenses as a component of cost of sales.  Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company classified delivery expenses as an operating expense. This change is considered a change in accounting principle pursuant to the provisions of FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and will be reported by retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements.  This change in accounting principle is considered preferable as it was made to conform the classification of these expenses on the statement of operations to the classification of such expenses by other companies in our industry.  The effect of this change on the three months ended March 31, 2007 was an increase of costs of sales and a decrease of operating expenses by approximately $6.9 million.   The Company applied the change retrospectively by reclassifying approximately $8.2 million of delivery expenses from operating expenses to cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  This change has no effect on income from continuing operations, net income or per share amounts for any period presented.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative expenses, were 9.2% and 4.9% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Selling expenses were 4.4% of net sales for the 2007 quarter compared to 3.2% of net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. The increase in selling expense as a percentage of net sales during the quarter was impacted by costs associated with the introduction of new Housing product lines in the quarter and increased promotional expenses in challenging markets coupled with the decrease in sales.

- 16 -

General and administrative expenses were 4.8% of net sales for the 2007 quarter compared to 1.7% for the 2006 corresponding quarter. The increase of $3.4 million in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period of 2007 versus 2006 was primarily the result of two legal settlements received during the first quarter of 2006 totaling $3.6 million which reduced general and administrative expenses in that period.

GAIN ON THE SALE OF ASSETS, NET

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the gain on the sale of assets was $0.4, as compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed the sale of two parcels of the former Georgie Boy manufacturing complex for approximately $0.6 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.3 million. Also during the quarter, the Company completed the sale of vacant farmland in Middlebury, Indiana for cash of approximately $0.1 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.1 million. On March 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a property located in Grapevine, Texas for $2.0 million, which resulted in a gain of $1.8 million. Also during the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of vacant farmland in Middlebury, Indiana for $1.0 million, which resulted in a gain of $0.8 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest expense decreased slightly due to slightly lower total borrowings during the quarter, offset partly by the higher applicable interest rates.

INVESTMENT INCOME

There was a net investment income of $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to $0.4 million in the same quarter of 2006. Investment income is principally attributable to earnings of the life insurance policies held. 

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, represents income of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2007 and income of $0.2 million for the same quarter of the previous year. No items of significance caused the variances between the comparable quarters.

PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2007 was $10.4 million compared with a pre-tax income from continuing operations of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. The Company's RV Segment generated a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $8.0 million, or 7.7% of recreational vehicle net sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared with a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $2.7 million, or 2.2% of the RV Segment's net sales in the first quarter of 2006. The Housing Segment recorded a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $2.7million in the first quarter of 2007 or 10.3% of segment net sales compared with pre-tax income from continuing operations of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 or 0.3% of segment net sales (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

INCOME TAXES

Prior to recognizing a valuation allowance, the effective tax rate for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 was a credit of (43.1%) compared with a 2006 first quarter effective tax rate from continuing operations of 34.6%. The Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates based upon estimated annual pre-tax income amounts, the states where sales occur, nontaxable increases in cash value of life insurance contracts, other permanent tax differences, increases or decreases in tax reserves and valuation allowances and recognized federal and state tax credits. Due to the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years, a valuation allowance of $4.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with the losses from the first quarter of 2007, essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero. As with the deferred tax valuation allowance taken at the end of 2006, the tax benefit associated with the current quarter’s losses may be utilized to offset future taxable income.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million, including interest and penalties. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits during the first quarter ending March 31, 2007. If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by approximately $1.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits.

- 17 -

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest and operating expenses, respectively. The amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2007 and the amount of interest and penalties recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were not considered to be significant.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing an audit by the Internal Revenue Service for a claim for research and development credits. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months as a result of the audit. Based on the current audit in process, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase by approximately $1.1 million or decrease by $4.6 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 31, 2006, The Company sold 100% of its interest in the capital stock of Miller Building Systems, Inc. for $11.5 million, consisting of cash of $9.0 million and a $2.5 million secured note. The note, which is included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is to be repaid over 5 years and bears interest at the 1 year LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum with quarterly interest payments beginning September 30, 2006. Principal payments of $125,000 per quarter commence on June 30, 2009 and continue through the maturity date of March 31, 2011. In addition, the Company accepted a $2.0 million contingent earn-out note which will be paid to Company if certain income metrics are achieved by the acquiring entity. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, the division qualified as a separate component of the Company’s business and as a result, the 2006 operating results of the division have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. In connection with this sale, $1.7 million of industrial revenue bonds were paid off as of March 31, 2006. During April 2006, the Company terminated the $1.5 million and $235,000 interest rate swaps that had been associated with these revenue bonds. Net sales of Miller Building Systems, Inc. for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $7.0 million, and the pre-tax loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $(0.7) million.

In conjunction with the sale of Miller Building Systems, Inc., during the fourth quarter of 2005 management allocated goodwill of $0.6 million to Miller Building Systems from the Housing Segment goodwill based on the relative fair value of the discontinued operations to the entire Housing Segment. The $0.6 million allocated goodwill was written off as part of the 2005 loss from operations of discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2006, an additional $0.3 million of goodwill was allocated to Miller Building Systems based on the final sales price relative to the fair value of the entire Housing Segment. The additional $0.3 million of allocated goodwill was written off as part of the 2006 gain on sale of assets of discontinued operations.

On January 13, 2006, the Company sold all operating assets of Prodesign, LLC. The total sales price was $8.2 million, of which the Company received $5.7 million in cash, a $2.0 million promissory note and $0.5 million to be held in escrow to cover potential warranty claims and uncollectible accounts receivable, as defined in the sale agreement. The promissory note is to be repaid over a period of 10 years, using an amortization period of 15 years, and bears interest at 6% per annum with interest only payments being required in the first three years. The funds remaining in the escrow account reverted to the Company in February 2007 per the sales agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Prodesign qualified as a separate component of the Company’s business and as a result, the 2006 operating results of Prodesign have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. In conjunction with the classification of Prodesign as a discontinued operation, management allocated goodwill of $0.3 million to the discontinued operations from the Recreational Vehicle Segment goodwill based on the relative fair value of the discontinued operations to the Recreational Vehicle Segment. The $0.3 million of allocated goodwill was included in the calculation of the final gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of 2006. Net sales of Prodesign for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, were $3.6 million and the pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $0.2 million.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $10.4 million (a loss of $0.67 per diluted share) compared to a net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $0.4 million (earnings of $0.03 per diluted share). Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $10.4 million (a loss of $0.67 per diluted share) compared to a net income of $2.9 million (earnings of $0.19 per diluted share) for 2006.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary source of working capital and liquidity. In addition, the Company maintains a $55.0 million secured line of credit to meet its seasonal working capital needs. At March 31, 2007 there was $7.6 million in outstanding borrowings. At March 31, 2006, there were no outstanding borrowings against the existing bank line of credit. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements under the revolving credit agreement, as amended, at March 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $15 million had been borrowed against the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts.

- 18 -

At March 31, 2007, working capital decreased to $51.2 million from $62.8 million at December 31, 2006. The $6.4 million increase in current assets at March 31, 2007 versus December 31, 2006 was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable of $10.7 million, offset by a decrease in refundable income taxes. The $18.0 million increase in current liabilities at March 31, 2007 versus December 31, 2006 was due to an increase in accounts payable of $18.1 million.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007, together with its available revolving credit facility and cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund future planned capital expenditures and other operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company's estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the Company’s more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Company’s 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the first three months of fiscal 2007, there was no material change in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, and are dependent on various factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. These uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:

• the ability of the new management team to achieve desired results;

• interest rates, which affect the affordability of the Company's products;

• consumer confidence and the availability of credit;

• the Company’s ability to utilize manufacturing resources efficiently;

• the Company’s ability to introduce new models that achieve consumer acceptance;

• the margins associated with the mix of products the Company sells in a particular period;

• the availability of floorplan financing for the Company's recreational vehicle dealers and corresponding availability of cash to the Company;

• the availability and price of gasoline and diesel fuel, which can impact the sale of recreational vehicles;

• the Company's dependence on chassis and other suppliers;

• potential liabilities under repurchase agreements and guarantees;

• consolidation of distribution channels in the recreational vehicle industry;

• legislation governing the relationships of the Company with its recreational vehicle dealers, which may affect the Company’s options and liabilities in the event of a general economic downturn;

• the price volatility of materials used in production and the ability to pass on rapidly increasing costs of product components and raw materials to end buyers;

• the availability and cost of real estate for residential housing;

• the increased size and scope of work of military housing projects, and other major projects, as compared to the Company's traditional single-family homes business, with increased reliance on third parties for performance which could impact the Company; 

• the ability of the Housing Segment to perform in new market segments where it has limited experience;

• the impact of performance on the valuation of intangible assets;

• the supply of existing homes within the Company’s markets;

• the impact of home values on housing demand;

• uncertainties and timing with respect to sales resulting from recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast.

• adverse weather conditions affecting home deliveries;

• changing government regulations, including those covering accounting standards;

• environmental matters or product warranties and recalls, which may affect costs of operations, revenues, product acceptance and profitability;

• the state of the recreational vehicle and housing industries in the United States;

• changes in property taxes and energy costs;

• changes in federal income tax laws and federal mortgage financing programs;

• competition in the industries in which the Company operates;

• oil supplies;

• further developments in the war on terrorism and related international crises;

• uncertainties of matters in litigation and other risks and uncertainties;

• the ability of the Company to generate taxable income in future years to utilize deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards that are available;

• the accuracy of the estimates of the costs to remedy the disclosed recreational vehicle warranty issues;

• the Company’s ability to increase gross margins which are critical whether or not there are increased sales;

• the Company’s use of incentives at either the wholesale or retail level;

• the potential fluctuation in the Company’s operating results;

• uncertainties regarding the impact on sales of the disclosed restructuring steps in both the Recreational Vehicle and Housing Segments.

In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company must disclose or reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results may therefore appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. The foregoing lists are not exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

At times, the Company's actual performance differs materially from its projections and estimates regarding the economy, the recreational vehicle and building industries and other key performance indicators. Readers of this Report are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statements involves risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company's objectives will be achieved.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing and investing yields. During the first three months of 2007, the Company has utilized its revolving credit facility to meet short-term working capital needs. The Company had $7.6 million outstanding against the revolving credit facility on March 31, 2007. The Company had no outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility on March 31, 2006.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $3.0 million that was used to convert the variable interest rates on an industrial development revenue bond to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a 3.71% interest rate, and receives the Bond Market Association Index (BMA), calculated on the notional amount, with net receipts or payments being recognized as adjustments to interest expense. This swap agreement, along with those terminated in 2006, is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and effectively converts a portion of the Company's variable-rate borrowing to a fixed-rate basis through November of 2011, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreement represents the estimated receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements. A cumulative loss of approximately $4,000, net of taxes, attributable to changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter ended March 31,2007. If in the future the interest rate swap agreements were determined to be ineffective or were terminated before the contractual termination dates, or if it became probable that the hedged variable cash flows associated with the variable-rate borrowings would stop, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized losses on cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
