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, and read in conjunction with these notes, contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. 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, 2008.

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. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company's two reportable segments are Specialty Vehicles and Housing. While Specialty Vehicle operations began during 2008, sales and expenses were not large enough in 2008 to require segment presentation. 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.

As discussed in Note 11, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its RV Segment during 2008 and the operations of the RV Segment are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Accordingly, the RV Segment is no longer deemed a reportable segment, and as such the segment information disclosed in the following tables excludes amounts pertaining to the Company’s former RV Segment.

The table below presents information about the segments, used by the chief operating decision maker of the Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30 (in thousands):

4.     LONG-TERM ASSETS, Continued.

Joint Venture – Note Receivable

In December 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to produce ADA compliant low floor accessible buses for ARBOC Mobility, LLC, a marketer of specialized transit and shuttle buses designed for users with mobility challenges. This bus incorporates patent pending technologies provided by ARBOC Mobility. In connection with the agreement with ARBOC Mobility, LLC, the Company agreed to finance up to $1.0 million of start up cash requirements. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has a note receivable of $0.9 million due from ARBOC Mobility, LLC for start up cash requirements. The note is on a month-by-month basis and bears interest at the rate of 1% per month on the principal balance. The note is included in other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at a net amount of $0.4 million after write-down for the Company’s portion of joint venture losses to date. The Company has a 30% interest in this entity and therefore accounts for this investment on the equity basis. Related party transactions with ARBOC Mobility, LLC include sales of $0.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in the first and second quarters of 2009 and outstanding accounts receivable of approximately $2.0 million at June 30, 2009.

6.     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS).

The changes in the components of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009		2008
Net loss	$	(3,248	)	$	(2,963	)	$	5,065	$	(1,636	)

Unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, net of taxes		10			26			13		4
Comprehensive loss	$	(3,179	)	$	(2,937	)	$	5,137	$	(1,632	)

As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, relating to deferred losses on cash flow hedges was ($62,000) and ($44,000), respectively.

7.     EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMMON STOCK MATTERS.

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are 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 and six-month period ended June 30 were calculated using the average shares as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009		2008
Numerator:
Net loss available to common stockholders	$	(3,248	)	$	(2,963	)	$	5,065	$	(1,636	)
Denominator:
Number of shares outstanding, end of period:
Weighted average number of common shares used in basic EPS		15,819			15,774			15,883		15,762
Effect of dilutive securities		-			-			-		-
Weighted average number of common shares used in dilutive EPS		15,819			15,774			15,883		15,762

For the quarters ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, 78,900 shares and 132,850 shares, respectively, 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.

Share Repurchase Programs

Periodically, the Company has repurchased its common stock as authorized by the Board of Directors. Under the repurchase program, common shares are purchased from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. During August 2006, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase of up to one million shares. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased 24,914 shares for a total cost, including commissions, of $46,993. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of 2009. At June 30, 2009, there are 931,071 shares remaining authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors.

8.     INCOME TAXES.

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.

- 10 -

8.     INCOME TAXES, Continued.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2009, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3.5 million. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits through June 30, 2009. If recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected by approximately $2.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities.  In 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns specifically for the purpose of reviewing claims for Research and Expenditure credits for the years 1999 through 2004. The audit of these claims is nearing its conclusion and the Company anticipates that a settlement can be concluded within the next year. The Company does not anticipate that any adjustments associated with the settlement of this audit will result in a material change to its financial position.

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 taxable income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 reducing the effective tax rate to 3.3% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009.  In the second quarter of 2008, a valuation allowance of $0.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero for the respective periods. The ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income is dependent on a number of factors and complex regulations and is determined at the time of completion of the annual tax returns.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

Obligation to Purchase Consigned Inventories

The Company obtains vehicle chassis for its bus products directly from an automobile manufacturer under a converter pool agreement. The agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis at the Company's 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, chassis inventory, accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company was contingently liable at June 30, 2009 to banks and other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by such institutions to most of the Company's former 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. Although the estimated contingent liability without offsets for resale would be approximately $29 million at June 30, 2009 ($98 million at December 31, 2008), the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company's numerous former dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. Further, as time goes on and the Company does not sell additional recreational vehicles, this contingent liability continually reduces because the period during which the Company is subject to buy-back claims is limited to a specific time period, starting from the date of original wholesale sale. Based on losses previously experienced under these obligations and current market conditions, the Company has established a reserve for estimated losses under repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, were recorded as an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.

The Company was also contingently liable at June 30, 2009 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 without offsets for resale would be approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2009 ($6.1 million at December 31, 2008), 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 for estimated losses under the repurchase agreement.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued.

Corporate Guarantees

The Company was contingently liable under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $2.9 million at June 30, 2009 and $6.3 million at December 31, 2008. The Company had an agreement with a financial institution to form a private-label financing program to provide wholesale inventory financing to the Company's former recreational vehicle dealers. The agreement provided for a preferred program that provided financing subject to the standard repurchase agreement described above. In addition, the agreement provided for a reserve pool whereby the financial institution made available an aggregate line of credit not to exceed $40 million that provided financing for dealers that may not otherwise qualify for credit approval under the preferred program. No dealer being provided financing from the reserve pool could receive an aggregate line of credit exceeding $5 million. In addition to the standard repurchase agreement described above, at June 30, 2009 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 were accepted into the reserve pool financing program. The Company has recorded a loss reserve of $0.1 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 associated with these guarantees.

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 June 30, 2009, 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 June 30, 2009, 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

In February 2009 the Company received a favorable verdict against Crane Composites, Inc. f/k/a Kemlite for breach of contract and multiple warranty claims arising from the sale of defective sidewall material to Coachmen Industries, Inc. subsidiaries. All of the counts alleged in the original complaint were found in favor of the Company. On April 17, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crane Composites, Inc., f/k/a Kemlite, with respect to this verdict rendered in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the liability portion of this lawsuit.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Crane Composites paid the Company a total of $17.75 million in three installments, with the first installment of $10 million paid on May 8, 2009, the second installment of $3.875 million on June 1, 2009 and the final installment of $3.875 million on July 1, 2009.

The settlement with Crane Composites, Inc. resulted in income of $14.7 million net of contingent attorney fees and taxes recorded in the first quarter of 2009.  The parent Company acquired the claims that were subject to the settlement for fair value from its RV Group subsidiaries during the fourth quarter of 2008, prior to trial.  Because the settlement is related to damages originally incurred by the recreational vehicle business, accounting rules required the Company to record this income under discontinued operations, even though the settlement is owned by the parent Company and not the RV Group.

The Company was named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits alleging that the plaintiffs were exposed to levels of formaldehyde in FEMA-supplied trailers manufactured by the Company's subsidiaries (and other manufacturers) and that such exposure entitles plaintiffs to an award, including injunctive relief, a court-supervised medical monitoring fund, removal of formaldehyde-existing materials, repair and testing, compensatory, punitive and other damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs. The litigation proceeded through the class certification process. In December 2008, class certification was denied.

During the second 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. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company also recorded income of approximately $1.0 million as a result of the favorable settlement of two lawsuits involving insurance recoveries. These favorable settlements are classified as a reduction to 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.

10.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.

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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Since the adoption of SFAS 123R, there have been no modifications to outstanding stock-based awards.

On March 4, 2009, 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 full calendar year 2009. 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 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, 2010, one-third on January 1, 2011 and one-third on January 1, 2012. A total of 196,250 shares, assuming 100% of the performance goal is achieved, could be granted. As of June 30, 2009, the Company determined that it is not yet probable that the performance conditions associated with the restricted stock grants for the full calendar year 2009 will be achieved; therefore, no compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was recorded.  Compensation expense related to prior year restricted stock grants was not material for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

11.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

On December 26, 2008, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s RV Segment, consisting of its recreational vehicle manufacturing and sales business, to Forest River, Inc. The closing consideration paid was approximately $40.6 million. Of the closing consideration, approximately $11.5 million was paid into two escrow accounts and is subject to reduction for indemnification and certain other claims including warranty. Proceeds were applied in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and were reduced by $1.9 million to settle a contingent liability of approximately $11.0 million related to the Registrant’s bailment chassis pool with Ford Motor Company and by $2.0 million to purchase the required 5-year term of tail insurance. The net proceeds after the escrow, contingent liability settlement, purchase of insurance and closing costs were approximately $25.2 million. This transaction resulted in the sale of trade accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets with net book values of $5.9 million, $30.8 million, and $11.7 million, respectively. The net selling price was $5.9 million for accounts receivable, $22.8 million for inventory, and $10.8 million for fixed assets.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, the recreational vehicle operations qualified as a separate component of the Company’s business and as a result, the operating results of the recreational vehicle business have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. Previously reported financial results for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this business as a discontinued operation. Interest expense was allocated between continuing operations and to discontinued operations based on the debt that could be identified as specifically attributable to those operations. Net sales of the recreational vehicle business for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $58.8 million, and the pre-tax loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, was $5.9 million. Net sales of the recreational vehicle business for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 was $149.3 million, and the pre-tax loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, was $5.8 million.

12.  RESTRICTED CASH.

The Company had $15.6 million and $18.9 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

13.  DEBT.

On March 23, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. and one of the Company’s directors entered into an agreement for a $2.3 million short-term note from the Company in exchange for cash. The note is collateralized by several properties and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The terms of the note allowed the note holder to call for repayment at any time on or after April 20, 2009, and the note holder placed his demand for repayment on June 1, 2009.  As of June 4, 2009, the Company had paid the Note in full. 

On April 9, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. and Lake City Bank entered into an agreement for a $2 million three-year note in exchange for cash loaned to the Company by Lake City Bank.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, bears interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum, and has a maturity date of April 9, 2012.  At June 30, 2009, the amount outstanding was approximately $2.0 million.

On April 9, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. gave a promissory note to Lake City Bank in connection with the bank’s provision of a $0.5 million working capital line of credit.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, and borrowings against this line will bear interest at a variable rate, with a minimum interest rate of 5% per annum.  This line of credit has a maturity date of March 31, 2012.  At June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit.

14.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Assets or liabilities that have recurring measurements are shown below as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  We adopted this standard effective June 15, 2009 and have evaluated any subsequent events through the date of this filing.  We do not believe there are any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $17.7 million, a decrease of $20.6 million, or 53.7%, from the $38.3 million reported for the corresponding quarter last year. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $29.0 million, representing a decrease of $40.2 million, or 58.1%, reported for the same period of 2008.

The Company’s Housing Segment experienced a net sales decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of 60.8%, from $37.9 million during the first quarter of 2008 to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $25.1 million, representing a decrease of $43.7 million, or 63.5%, from net sales of $68.8 million for the same period of 2008. While the Company made deliveries for the military housing project at Ft. Bliss during the latter part of the second quarter of 2009, during 2008 deliveries for the military housing project at Fort Carson in Colorado began early in 2008 and continued throughout the second quarter of 2008, significantly contributing to net sales volume.  Sales volumes were much stronger in 2008, due mainly to the impact of major project revenues in the first six months of 2008 offsetting the weakness in traditional single-family housing markets. The national housing market continues to decline as evidenced by U.S. Census Bureau data showing single-family housing starts declining 47.7% year to date thru May 2009, following a full year 2008 decline of 40.5%. To mitigate these conditions, management is placing more emphasis on providing value to builders and consumers through the Housing Group’s products. Driven by consumer interest and high energy costs, the housing industry is beginning to recognize the increasing need for energy efficiency and the use of sustainable materials in the construction of new homes. The Company has taken a leadership position in this market transformation with the introduction of the “Green Catalog” and the Solar Village® product line. The Group allows consumers to choose which technologies and earth-friendly materials they want included in their new homes. The Group is working with design/build architectural firms that specialize in sustainable, innovative, high-quality modular architecture. The Housing Segment continues to work to mitigate the Group’s dependence on traditional scattered-lot single-family housing markets by increasing the expansion into multi-family residential structures by aggressively pursuing major project opportunities in the multi-family residential, military housing and commercial markets.

The Company’s Specialty Vehicle Segment, through a joint venture with ARBOC Mobility, manufactures a line of low floor ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)-compliant buses under the Spirit of Mobility brand name. Net sales for the Specialty Vehicle Segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $2.9 million compared to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2008.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $3.9 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2008. The Company anticipates significant increases in revenue from the Specialty Vehicle Group continuing throughout 2009.  All testing required by the Federal Transit Administration for eligibility to be purchased with federal funds was successfully completed early in 2009 at the Altoona Bus Research and Testing Center in Altoona, Pa. and Canadian certification obtained, allowing municipalities to now place orders.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales from continuing operations decreased 46.2%, or $14.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 95.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to 81.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The corresponding gross profit declined to $0.9 million or 4.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to a profit of $7.0 million or 18.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $30.2 million, or 104.2% compared to $56.7 million or 81.9% for the same six-month period in 2008. Gross profit was negatively impacted in the first six months of 2009 as a result of decreased sales and corresponding production volume decrease (production volume decreased over 60% compared to the first six months of 2008), resulting in lower utilization of the Company's manufacturing facilities yielding reduced operating leverage. During the first quarter, the Company announced it was temporarily suspending production at its housing production facility in North Carolina to increase capacity utilization at the Company’s other facilities.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses from continuing operations, which include selling, general and administrative expenses, were 19.9% and 10.5% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 26.7% and 12.0% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling expenses were $1.0 million and 5.6% of net sales for the 2009 second quarter compared to $1.8 million and 4.8% of net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, selling expenses were $1.6 million and 5.6% compared to $3.5 million and 5.0% for the same six-month period in 2008. The $0.8 million and $1.8 million reductions in selling expenses for the three-month and six-month periods of 2009 versus 2008 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.

- 17 -

General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million and 14.3% of net sales for the 2009 second quarter compared to $2.2 million and 5.7% for the 2008 corresponding quarter. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $6.1 million or 21.1% compared to $4.8 million or 7.0% for the same six-month period in 2008. The increase of $0.3 million and $1.3 million in general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-month periods of 2009 versus 2008 were primarily the result of legal settlements and insurance recoveries of approximately $1.0 million in each of the first two quarters of 2008, resulting in total recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2008 of over $1.9 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.5 million and $0.6 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Interest expense increased due to higher borrowings during the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008, primarily from borrowings on the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance policies.

INVESTMENT INCOME

There was net investment income of $0.3 and $0.6 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the same periods of 2008. 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 and $0.9 million for the three and six-month periods of 2009 and income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the same periods of the previous year. The increase in the first six months of 2009 was primarily the result of proceeds from a Company-owned life insurance policy.

PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $(2.9) million and $(9.0) million compared with pre-tax income of $2.9 million and $4.2 million in the corresponding periods of 2008.  The Housing Segment recorded a pre-tax loss of $(2.2) million in the second quarter of 2009 or (14.9)% of segment net sales compared with a pre-tax income of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 or 8.0% of segment net sales. The Housing Segment pre-tax loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was $(6.7) million compared with pre-tax income of $4.4 million in the corresponding period of 2008 (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 taxable income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 reducing the effective tax rate to 3.3% for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  In the second quarter of 2008, a valuation allowance of $0.5 million was recognized to offset potential net operating loss tax benefits associated with losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 essentially reducing the effective tax rate to zero for the respective periods (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In February 2009 the Company received a favorable verdict against Crane Composites, Inc. f/k/a Kemlite for breach of contract and multiple warranty claims arising from the sale of defective sidewall material to Coachmen Industries, Inc. subsidiaries. All of the counts alleged in the original complaint were found in favor of the Company. On April 17, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crane Composites, Inc., f/k/a Kemlite, with respect to this verdict rendered in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the liability portion of this lawsuit.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Crane Composites paid the Company a total of $17.75 million in three installments, with the first installment of $10 million paid on May 8, 2009, the second installment of $3.875 million on June 1, 2009 and the final installment of $3.875 million on July 1, 2009.

The settlement with Crane Composites, Inc. resulted in income of $14.7 million net of contingent attorney fees and taxes recorded in the first quarter of 2009.  The parent Company acquired the claims that were subject to the settlement for fair value from its RV Group subsidiaries during the fourth quarter of 2008, prior to trial.  Because the settlement is related to damages originally incurred by the recreational vehicle business, accounting rules required the Company to record this income under discontinued operations, even though the settlement is owned by the parent Company and not the RV Group.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net loss from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 was ($2.8) million (a loss of ($0.18) per diluted share) and $(9.0) million (a loss of $(0.56) per diluted share) compared to net income from continuing operations of $2.9 million (a profit of $0.19 per diluted share) and $4.2 million (a profit of $0.27 per diluted share) for 2008. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $(3.2) million (a loss of $(0.21) per diluted share) compared to net loss of $(3.0) million (a loss of $(0.18) per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2008. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $5.1 million (a profit of $0.32 per diluted share) compared to net loss of $(1.6) million (a loss of $(0.10) per diluted share) for the corresponding period of 2008.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary source of working capital and liquidity.

On April 9, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. and Lake City Bank entered into an agreement for a $2 million three-year note in exchange for cash loaned to the Company by Lake City Bank.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, bears interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum, and has a maturity date of April 9, 2012.  At June 30, 2009, the amount outstanding was approximately $2.0 million.

On April 9, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. gave a promissory note to Lake City Bank in connection with the bank’s provision of a $0.5 million working capital line of credit.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, and borrowings against this line will bear interest at a variable rate, with a minimum interest rate of 5% per annum.  This line of credit has a maturity date of March 31, 2012.  At June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit.

The Company has also borrowed against the cash surrender value of the Company's investment in life insurance contracts. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $49.4 million and $47.0 million, respectively, had been borrowed against the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts. As of June 30, 2009, the cash surrender value of life insurance is approximately $53.2 million, with $49.4 million borrowed, resulting in a cash surrender value net of loans of $3.8 million. There is currently no significant capacity for additional borrowings against the cash surrender value.

At June 30, 2009, working capital increased to $15.9 million from $4.7 million at December 31, 2008. The $16.3 million decrease in current liabilities at June 30, 2009 versus December 31, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $1.8 million, decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $11.3 million (see Note 5, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities) and a net decrease in floorplan notes payable of $3.1 million. The $5.1 million decrease in current assets at June 30, 2009 versus December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $13.1 million and prepaid expenses of $1.2 million, offset by increases in receivables of $9.6 million.

On February 26, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. entered into an agreement with Forest River, Inc. with respect to certain financial obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement of November 20, 2008 between the Company and Forest River. Forest River agreed to accept a fully collateralized short-term note from the Company. As of March 2, 2009, the outstanding balance on the note was $2.3 million. The note was paid in full on March 23, 2009.

On March 23, 2009, Coachmen Industries, Inc. and one of the Company’s directors entered into an agreement for a $2.3 million short-term note from the Company in exchange for cash. The note is collateralized by several properties and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The terms of the note allowed the note holder to call for repayment at any time on or after April 20, 2009, and the note holder placed his demand for repayment on June 1, 2009.  As of June 4, 2009, the Company had paid the Note in full. 

In February 2009 the Company received a favorable verdict against Crane Composites, Inc. f/k/a Kemlite for breach of contract and multiple warranty claims arising from the sale of defective sidewall material to Coachmen Industries, Inc. subsidiaries. All of the counts alleged in the original complaint were found in favor of the Company. On April 17, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crane Composites, Inc., f/k/a Kemlite, with respect to this verdict rendered in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the liability portion of this lawsuit.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Crane Composites paid the Company a total of $17.75 million in three installments, with the first installment of $10 million paid on May 8, 2009, the second installment of $3.875 million on June 1, 2009 and the final installment of $3.875 million on July 1, 2009.

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, 2008. During the first six months of fiscal 2009, 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 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:

• liquidity;

• 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 consumer credit;

• the availability of working capital and financing to the Company;

• uncertainties regarding the length and depth of the recession and the timing and speed of recovery in the housing market;

• adverse weather conditions affecting home deliveries;

• potential liabilities under repurchase agreements and guarantees;

• tax law changes could make home ownership more expensive or less attractive;

• legislation governing the relationships of the Company with its builders;

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

• the impact of home values on housing demand;

• 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;

• 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 may be available, and the tax interpretations as to their availability;

• the collectibility of debt owed to the Company for sold assets;

• 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 dependence on key customers within certain product types;

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

• the addition or loss of builders;

• the introduction and marketing of competitive product by others, including significant discounting offered by our competitors;

• uncertainties regarding the impact of the disclosed restructuring steps;

• the ability to attract and retain qualified senior managers.

- 21 -

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 specialty 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.

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 six months of 2009, the Company has utilized borrowings against the cash surrender value of the Company's investment in life insurance contracts. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $49.4 million and $47.0 million, respectively, had been borrowed against the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.8 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 gain of approximately $13,000, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2009. 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 June 30, 2009. 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 June 30, 2009.

There have been no changes during the three or six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
