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, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. 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, 2007.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to its financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Assets or liabilities that have recurring measurements are shown below as of March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

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. 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):

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):

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 132,850 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. 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.


The Company accounts for income taxes based upon Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company continues to carry a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.4 million including interest and penalties. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits through March 31, 2008. If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by approximately $1.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits.

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 entire amount of the unrecognized tax liability of $3.5 million which was recorded to offset the research and development tax benefits claimed in previously filed tax returns could be reversed or an additional liability of $1.1 million could be recorded.
 
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 2004.

Due to the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years, net operating loss carryforwards were utilized to offset current taxable income essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero for the first quarter of 2008. In the first quarter of 2007, a valuation allowance of $4.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with the losses from the quarter, also essentially reduced the effective tax rate to zero for the first quarter of 2007.

9.    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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, chassis inventory, accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $13.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company was contingently liable at March 31, 2008 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 $183.3 million at March 31, 2008 ($176.0 million at December 31, 2007), 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $0.7 million was recorded as an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.

The Company was also contingently liable at March 31, 2008 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 $10.2 million at March 31, 2008 ($14.6 million at December 31, 2007), 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 $0.1 million as of March 31, 2008 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2007 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 $6.0 million at March 31, 2008 and $2.6 million at December 31, 2007. 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, 2008 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 has recorded a loss reserve of $0.1 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 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.

9.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued.

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, 2008, the Company provided $2.3 million in financing to the developer under this arrangement. No funding has been provided since December 2005. 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. 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, 2008, 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.

Litigation

On November 21, 2006 the Company received a summons from the Internal Revenue Service which required 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 was named as a defendant in McGuire v. Gulf Stream Coach, Inc., which was filed as a class action on April 9, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The factual basis alleged is that the plaintiffs were exposed to formaldehyde in FEMA travel trailers, which exposure constitutes a manifest injury requiring medical monitoring to thwart development of disease. Plaintiffs sought the following relief: class certification, which was denied; payment into a court-supervised medical monitoring fund; removal of all formaldehyde-existing materials from all trailers and modification to provide adequate ventilation; repair and testing to prevent further exposure; attorneys' fees and costs; and other appropriate relief. Company filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that none of named plaintiffs received a Coachmen trailer. The case and motion are currently pending before the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Other litigation has also been filed, in which the Company may become a party.

During the first quarter of 2008, as a result of the favorable settlement of two lawsuits involving insurance recoveries, the Company recorded income of approximately $1.0 million, which was classified in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

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.
 

- 12 - -



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 2008.

On January 4, 2008, 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 first quarter of 2008 and for the full calendar year 2008. If the Company meets the minimum or 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 first quarter and/or the full 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. A total of 237,375 shares, assuming 100% of the performance goal is achieved, could be granted. At March 31, 2008, the Company determined that the minimum target of the performance goal for the first quarter of 2008 would be achieved; therefore, compensation expense in the amount of $0.1 million was recorded related to this plan for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the Company determined that it is not yet probable that the performance conditions associated with the restricted stock grants for the full calendar year 2008 will be achieved.

NET SALES
 
Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $121.3 million, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 6.9%, from the $130.2 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 March, industry wholesale shipments of all types of RV’s declined 11.8%, following a 9.5% decline in full year 2007. For the quarter, RV Segment wholesale unit shipments of all product types decreased by 22.4% to 3,067 units. Shipments of motorized products fell 13.7% to 848 units. Shipments of non-motorized products decreased by 25.3% to 2,219 units. The RV Segment did have several sales successes, as first quarter 2008 unit shipments of fifth wheel trailers increased by over 57% and Class C motorhome shipments were up over 14% compared to the first quarter of 2007.
 
The Company’s Housing Segment experienced a net sales increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of 18.2%, from $26.1 million during the first quarter of 2007 to $30.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, due mainly to the impact of major project revenues offsetting the weakness in traditional single-family housing markets. The Company’s All American Building Systems (AABS) commercial business unit began deliveries for the military housing project at Fort Carson in Colorado contributing to the net sales increase during the quarter.
 
The national housing market continues to decline as evidenced by U.S. Census Bureau data showing single-family housing starts declining 39.0% year to date in the first quarter of 2008, following a full year 2007 decline of 28.6%. The Housing Segment continues its efforts to grow its traditional business by enhancing the design and marketing of single-family homes, with exciting new products including the introduction of the products available in the Green Catalog, recognizing the increasing need for energy efficiency and the use of sustainable materials in the construction of new homes. In addition, the Company recently announced an agreement with Solar Village to market a line of solar energy powered homes. The Housing Segment continues to aggressively pursue major project opportunities in the multi-family residential, military housing and commercial markets.
 
COST OF SALES
 
Cost of sales decreased 14.3%, or $18.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 91.0% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 98.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cost of sales decreased more than net sales declined, increasing corresponding gross profit to $10.9 million or 9.0% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.4 million or 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Improvement in gross profit is the result of action plans implemented by management during 2007, including the strategic sourcing project reducing material costs, continued product quality initiatives reducing warranty expenses, and consolidating manufacturing facilities in order to reduce expenses and improve profitability through improved capacity utilization of fewer facilities. In late 2007, the RV Segment consolidated Class A production into a single facility, relocated a paint facility in Elkhart, Indiana to the main complex in Middlebury, Indiana, and consolidated two towable assembly plants into a single facility, while the Housing Segment consolidated its All American Homes production facility located in Zanesville, Ohio with its larger facility located in Decatur, Indiana.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative expenses, were 7.5% and 9.2% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Selling expenses were 3.8% of net sales for the 2008 quarter compared to 4.4% of net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The $1.2 million reduction in selling expenses for the three-month period of 2008 versus 2007 was primarily due to reduced payroll related costs and lower sales promotion expenses as a result of planned cut backs and the overall lower revenues. General and administrative expenses were 3.7% of net sales for the 2008 quarter compared to 4.8% for the 2007 corresponding quarter. The decrease of $1.7 million in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period of 2008 versus 2007 was primarily the result of legal settlements and insurance recoveries of $1.0 million, and other various expense reductions including professional services and payroll related expenses.
 
GAIN ON THE SALE OF ASSETS, NET
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the gain on the sale of assets was $0.2 million, as compared to $0.4 million in the same quarter of 2007. The gain on sale of assets recognized in the first quarter of 2008 primarily resulted from the sale of excess transportation equipment. 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 first quarter of 2007, 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.
- 15 - -


INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest expense increased due to higher borrowings during the quarter, offset partly by the lower applicable interest rates.

INVESTMENT INCOME

There was a net investment income of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.5 million in the same quarter of 2007. 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 both the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter 2007.

PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2008 was $1.3 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2007. The Company's RV Segment generated a pre-tax loss of $1.1 million, or 1.2% of recreational vehicle net sales in the first quarter of 2008, compared with a pre-tax loss of $8.0 million, or 7.7% of the RV Segment's net sales in the first quarter of 2007. The Housing Segment recorded a pre-tax income of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 or 4.4% of segment net sales compared with a pre-tax loss of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 or 10.3% of segment net sales (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

INCOME TAXES

Due to the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years, net operating loss carryforwards were utilized to offset current taxable income essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero for the first quarter of 2008. In the first quarter of 2007, a valuation allowance of $4.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with the losses from the quarter, also essentially reduced the effective tax rate to zero for the first quarter of 2007 (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.3 million (income of $0.08 per diluted share) compared to a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $10.4 million (a loss of $0.67 per diluted share).

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, 2008 there was $33.9 million in outstanding borrowings, while at March 31, 2007 there was $7.6 million. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, $23.7 million and $17.6 million had been borrowed against the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts. As of March 31, 2008, the cash surrender value of life insurance is approximately $53.2 million, with $23.7 million borrowed, resulting in a cash surrender value net of loans of $29.5 million. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional maximum amount of $26.9 million against the net cash surrender value.

At March 31, 2008, working capital increased to $36.6 million from $25.3 million at December 31, 2007. The $36.0 million increase in current assets at March 31, 2008 versus December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable of $26.7 million, assets held for sale of $5.0 million and inventory of $3.0 million. The $24.8 million increase in current liabilities at March 31, 2008 versus December 31, 2007 was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $16.1 million, an increase in short-term borrowings of $13.8 million, offset by decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $4.6 million.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2008, 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, 2007. During the first three months of fiscal 2008, there was no material change in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 141 (revised 2007) could have an impact on the accounting for any future acquisition, if one were to occur.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

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 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 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;
oil supplies and 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 to perform in new market segments or geographic areas 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;
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 availability of financing under the Company’s line of credit;
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 impact of sub-prime lending on the availability of credit for the broader housing market;
the dependence on key customers within certain product types;
the potential fluctuation in the Company’s operating results;
uncertainties regarding the impact 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 housing 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.

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 2008, the Company has utilized its revolving credit facility to meet short-term working capital needs. The Company had $33.9 million outstanding against the revolving credit facility on March 31, 2008. The Company had $7.6 million outstanding against the revolving credit facility on March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $2.4 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, 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 $22,000, 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, 2008. 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).


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, 2008. 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, 2008.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Directors need not be residents of Indiana or shareholders of the Corporation, except as the Directors may direct by resolution from time to time.  No person shall be eligible for election of the Board of Directors who will have attained the full age of seventy-five (75) years prior to the beginning of the term for which said person is to serve as a Director, except pursuant to a unanimous resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing continued service for a limited period of time in special circumstances.

Directors may be removed with or without cause by action of a majority of the Directors acting at a meeting when the removal of a Director is included in the notice of the meeting as a purpose of the meeting. A Director may also be removed by the shareholders in any manner provided by statute.


Section 3.3 – Committees.  The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of Directors, may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board to serve on the committee or committees.  Each committee shall have one or more members, who serve at the pleasure of the Board.

The Board of Directors shall have three (3) standing committees: the Governance Committee, the Management Development & Compensation Committee, and the Audit Committee. Membership on these standing committees shall be limited to Independent Directors, and the authority and duties of these standing committees shall be determined according to charters for each of them adopted by the Board of Directors, all in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations, the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Corporation’s Governance Guidelines. To the extent specified by the Board of Directors or in the Articles of Incorporation or these by-laws, each other committee may exercise the authority of the Board of Directors under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, provided, however, no committee may: (1) authorize distributions, except a committee may authorize or approve a reacquisition of shares if done according to a formula or method prescribed by the Board of Directors; (2) approve or propose to shareholders action that requires shareholders’ approval under the Indiana Business Corporation Law; (3) fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or on any of its committees; (4) amend the Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation; (5) adopt, amend, or repeal these by-laws; or (6) approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval.

Section 3.6 – Notice  Notice of any special meeting of Directors shall be given to be effective at least three (3) days prior to the meeting.  Notice shall include the date, time and place of the meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting, except as otherwise specifically provided in these By-laws, the Articles of Incorporation or by applicable statute or regulation. Written notice of any special meeting of Directors shall be given as follows: by mail (which includes U.S. mail and private carrier service); or, by electronic mail or facsimile to an address or number provided by the Director(s) for such purposes; or, by personal delivery, telegram, teletype or other form of wire or wireless communication; in all cases, to each Director at his/her business address, or, in the event delivery  is to be made on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then to the resident address of each Director.  Written notice is effective at the earliest of the following:  when received; five (5) days after the date of regular mailing, as evidenced by the postmark if correctly addressed to the address listed in the most current records of the corporation; or, on the date shown on the return receipt of a mailing or private carrier receipt, if the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee.  If sent by electronic mail or facsimile, such notice will be presumed and determined to be delivered when the electronic records indicate that a good transmission was made unless proven otherwise. For purposes of dealing with an emergency situation, as conclusively determined by the Director(s)  calling the meeting, notice may be given in person, orally or by  any means that reasonably may be expected to provide notice under the circumstances, not less than two (2) hours prior to the meeting.  If the Secretary fails or refuses to give such notice, then the notice may be given by the  Director(s) calling the meeting.  Any Director may waive notice of any meeting.  The attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends and announces that  the express purpose of his/her attendance at the beginning of the meeting is to object to the holding of the meeting or the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and provided that such Director does not thereafter participate in any way, vote for or assent or dissent to or on the record abstain from voting on any action taken at the meeting.

Section 3.7 – Quorum.  A majority of the number of Directors fixed under these by-laws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that if less than a majority is present, the majority of such Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time-to-time until a majority of the Board of Directors is present, without further notice.

Section 3.8 – Manner of Acting.  The act of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. A Chairman shall be chosen from the Board of Directors. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and of the Board of Directors, and in general shall perform all duties incident to the office of the Chairman of the Board and such other duties as from time-to-time may be assigned to him/her by the Board of Directors. If the Chairman is not independent, an independent Director shall be elected by the independent Directors as the Lead Director. The Lead Director shall have authority to call and shall preside at all meetings of the independent and non-management Directors, and shall serve as the spokesperson for the independent Directors to the Chief Executive Officer and to the Chairman.

Section 3.9 – Vacancies.  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, and any Directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, at a regular or special meeting thereof.

Section 3.10 – Compensation.  By resolution of the Board of Directors, irrespective of any personal interest of any of the members, the Directors may be  compensated for their services to the Corporation in any reasonable manner, including but not limited to payment of their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board, or any duly organized committee of the Board of which they are members, and/or payment of a fixed sum for attendance at such  meeting(s) , and/or payment of a stated periodic amount for serving on the Board and/or any committee thereof.  Alternatively or additionally, the Directors may be paid either by issuance of a fixed number of shares of the Corporation, or payment of the fixed sums may be made by issuance of shares of the Corporation of an equivalent value as the amount due, as determined by the Board.  Such payment shall not alone preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore, subject to applicable law and the policies of the Company.

Section 3.11 – Presumption of Assent.  A Director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, at which action on any corporate matter is taken, shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to the action taken, unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting, or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof, or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.  Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favor of such action taken.

Section 3.12 – Informal Action by Directors.  Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any duly organized committee thereof acting within the scope of its delegated authority, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Directors entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof or by all the members of such committee, as the case may be, and such consent is included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.3 – Removal.  Any officer or agent of the Corporation may be removed at any time by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board of Directors whenever, in his/her/its judgment, the best interests of the Corporation would be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed; and, any such removal by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer shall be subject to ratification by the Board of Directors, provided that such ratification shall be effective retroactive in effect to the date of removal.

Section 4.4 – Vacancies.  A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification or otherwise, may be filled by the Board of Directors, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the Chief Executive Officer, subject to ratification at the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, in either case for the unexpired portion of the term.

Any other person may be so indemnified if it is determined by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum none of whom were at the time parties to such action that such indemnification is in the interest of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of this Article.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.

Section 11.2 – Authorization of Indemnification.  To the extent that an Indemnified Officer of the Corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 11.1 of this Article, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify such person against reasonable expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by such person in connection therewith.  Any other indemnification under Section 11.1 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as indemnification of the person to be indemnified is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, and as authorized as provided below.

Determination as to whether indemnification is permissible shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum none of whom were  at the time parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or (2) if a quorum cannot be obtained under subdivision (1) by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation Directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more Directors not at the time parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; or (3) by special legal counsel: (A) selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in subdivision (1) or (2), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under subdivision (1) and a committee cannot be designated under subdivision (2), selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors; or (4) by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of Directors who are at the time parties to such action, suit or proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

Authorization of indemnification, the extent of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled under sub-section (3) to select counsel.

Section 11.3 – Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under this Article XI, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and to have otherwise met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 11.1 if his action is based on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data if prepared or presented by (1) one or more other Directors, officers or employees of the Corporation or another enterprise whom he reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants, appraisers or other persons as to matters he reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or (3) a committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or another enterprise of which the person is not a member if he reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.  The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 11.3 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such a person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent.  The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 11.1 of this Article XI.

Section 11.4 – Payment of Expenses in Advance.  Reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid for or reimbursed by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized in the specific case in the same manner described in Section 11.2 of this Article, upon receipt of a written affirmation of the person to be indemnified’s good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Section 11.1 of this Article and upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the  said person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in this Article XI, and a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article XI.

Section 11.5 – Provisions Not Exclusive.  The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation, any other by-law, any resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders, any other authorization, whenever adopted, after notice, by a majority vote of all voting shares then outstanding, or any contract, both as to action in this official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

Section 11.6 – Vested Right to Indemnification.  The right of any individual to indemnification under this Article shall vest at the time of occurrence or performance of any event, act or omission giving rise to any action, suit, or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 11.1 of this Article and, once vested, shall not later be impaired as a result of any amendment, repeal, alteration or other modification of any or all of these by-laws, or by a change in his employment status or other capacity entitling him to indemnification, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such an individual.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification afforded under this Article shall be applicable to all alleged prior acts or omissions of any individual seeking indemnification hereunder, regardless of the fact that such alleged acts or omissions may have occurred prior to the adoption of this Article, and to the extent such prior acts or omissions cannot be deemed to be covered by this Article XI, the right of any individual to indemnification shall be governed by the indemnification provisions in effect at the time of such prior acts or omissions.

Section 11.7 – Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from the individual’s status as a Director, officer, employee, or agent, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the individual against the same liability.
