6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets On August 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which eliminated the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives. The Company performed an impairment test of its goodwill and determined that no impairment of the recorded goodwill existed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if an event occurs which indicates the goodwill may be impaired. On an annual basis, we expect to perform our impairment testing during the fourth quarter. The components of other intangibles are as follows:

Aggregate amortization expense for non-compete agreements for the quarters ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001 was $178,704 and $242,879 respectively. Aggregate amortization expense for the six months ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001 was $212,767 and $590,947 respectively. Non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis.

7. Accounting Pronouncements In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144") entitled "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. SFAS 144 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early application encouraged. The Company is reviewing the impact of SFAS 144, and does not believe that its adoption will have a material affect on the Company's financial statements. 8. Investments The Company classifies its debt and equity securities as trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All securities not included in trading are classified as available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading investments are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale investments are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale investments are determined on a specific-identification basis. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. At January 31, 2002, the Company held equity investments with a fair value of $4,124,264 and cost basis of $6,039,712. The investments are classified as available-for-sale and included in other investments. Gross unrealized losses were $1,915,448. The Company has certain corporate debt investments that are classified as trading investments and reported as Investments - short term. Included in other income for the six months ended January 31, 2002 are net realized gains on trading investments of $63,035. 9. Acquisition On November 9, 2001, Thor acquired 100% of the common and preferred stock of Keystone RV Company ("Keystone"). Keystone is engaged in the business of manufacturing travel trailers and fifth wheel recreation vehicles. The purchase price of approximately $151,090,000 consisted of NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ (CONTINUED) ----------- cash of $88,810,000 and 2,250,000 shares of Thor common stock valued at $62,280,000, of which 1,372,433 shares are restricted. The final purchase price includes $6,244,000 of cash and 29,273 shares of Thor common stock valued at $810,000 that will be paid and issued subsequent to January 31, 2002, and is included in accounts payable as $7,054,000 at January 31, 2002. The value of the common stock was based on the average market price of Thor's common shares over the two-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The value of the restricted shares was based on an independent appraisal. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Current assets $ 63,920,463 Property, plant and equipment 3,607,668 Goodwill 120,012,845 Trademarks and non-compete agreements 11,500,000 Other assets 141,251 ------------- Total assets acquired 199,182,227 Current liabilities 43,918,410 Other liabilities 4,173,099 ------------- Net assets acquired $ 151,090,718 ============= The purchase price allocation includes $4,500,000 of non-compete agreements, which will be amortized over seven to ten years, $120,012,845 of goodwill and $7,000,000 for trademarks that are not subject to amortization. The non-compete, goodwill and trademarks are not deductible for tax purposes. The primary reasons for the acquisition include Keystone's future earnings potential, its fit with our existing operations, its market share, and its cash flow. The results of operations for Keystone are included in Thor's operating results beginning November 10, 2001. The Keystone goodwill and its results are included in the recreation vehicle reporting segment. Pro forma results of operations, as if the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented are as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPERATIONS ---------- Quarter Ended January 31, 2002 vs. Quarter Ended January 31, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were $269,215,671 compared to $173,181,163 for the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Income before income taxes in fiscal 2002 was $12,064,506, a 137.8% increase from $5,073,781 in fiscal 2001. The increase in income before income taxes of $6,990,725 in fiscal 2002 was primarily caused by increased recreation vehicle revenues of $100,021,645 which resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of approximately $9,280,000. Included in the second quarter of 2002 are sales of $95,447,258 and income before income taxes of $7,793,594 for Keystone RV acquired on November 9, 2001. Bus revenues were $3,987,137 less in fiscal 2002 than in fiscal 2001. Bus income before income taxes in fiscal 2002 was approximately $1,151,000 less than the same period last year because of reduced revenues at our Champion and ElDorado Kansas operations and overall lower margins. This was due primarily to declines in airline traffic after the terrorist attacks of MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------------------- AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- (CONTINUED) ----------- September 11, 2001 which affected the hotel, motel, rental car and other businesses and delayed purchases of buses, as well as to increased competition. Recreation vehicle revenues increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 by 97.4% to $202,735,051, compared to $102,713,406 in fiscal 2001 and accounted for 75.3% of total company revenues compared to 59.3% in fiscal 2001. Recreation vehicle order backlog of $127,870,000 (includes $62,613,000 for Keystone RV) at January 31, 2002 was up 117.5% compared to the same period last year. Excluding Keystone RV backlog, recreation vehicle backlogs were $65,257,000 at January 31, 2002, up 11% compared to the same period last year. This increase in backlog indicates a recent strengthening in the marketplace. Bus revenues in fiscal 2002 decreased by 5.7% to $66,480,620 compared to $70,467,757 in fiscal 2001 and accounted for 24.7% of total company revenues compared to 40.7% in fiscal 2001. Bus vehicle order backlog of $117,081,000 at January 31, 2002 was down 43% compared to the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2002 increased to 11.4% from 9.9% in fiscal 2001 primarily due to increased recreation vehicle sales. Selling, general, and administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles were $18,911,965 compared to $12,829,505 for the same period in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 7.0% in fiscal 2002 compared to 7.4% in fiscal 2001. Amortization of intangibles decreased in fiscal 2002 to $178,704 compared to $414,266 in fiscal 2001. This $235,562 reduction is primarily due to expiration of certain non-compete expenses of approximately $208,817 offset by the Keystone non-compete cost of $144,642 for fiscal 2002, and the reduction in goodwill and trademark amortization expense in fiscal 2002 of approximately $171,387 resulting from the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The additional selling, general and administrative costs offsetting the reduction of amortization of intangibles is due primarily to the increased costs associated with the substantial increase in revenue. Interest income decreased by $462,213 due primarily to lower market rates in fiscal 2002 and the use of cash investments to partially fund the acquisition of Keystone RV Company on November 9, 2001. The overall effective income tax rate was 36.4% for fiscal 2002 compared to 37.6% in fiscal 2001 due primarily to research and development tax credits recognized by the Company. Six Months Ended January 31, 2002 vs. Six Months Ended January 31, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales for the six months of fiscal 2002 were $479,009,802 compared to $383,002,980 for the same period last year. Income before income taxes in fiscal 2002 was $22,449,608, a 16.5% increase from $19,261,904 in fiscal 2001. The increase in income before income taxes of $3,187,704 in fiscal 2002 was primarily caused by increased recreation vehicle revenues of $88,563,804 which resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of approximately $6,584,000. Included in the fiscal 2002 results for the six months, are the sales of $95,447,258 and income before income taxes of $7,793,594 for Keystone RV Company acquired on November 9, 2001. Bus revenues were $7,443,018 greater in fiscal 2002 than fiscal 2001. Bus income before income taxes in fiscal 2002 was approximately $1,563,000 less than the same period last year due primarily to increased competition. Recreation vehicle revenues increased in the six months of fiscal 2002 by 36.6% to $330,857,222, compared to $242,293,418 in fiscal 2001 and accounted for 69.1% of total company revenues compared to 63.3% in fiscal 2001. Bus revenues in fiscal 2002 increased by 5.3% to $148,152,580 compared to $140,709,562 in fiscal 2001 and accounted for 30.9% of total company revenues compared to 36.7% in fiscal 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2002 decreased to 11.3% from 11.4% in fiscal 2001 primarily due to reduced bus operation margins. Selling, general, and administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles were $33,123,630 compared to $27,015,448 for the same period in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 6.9% in fiscal 2002 compared to 7.1% in fiscal 2001. Amortization of intangibles decreased in fiscal 2002 to $212,767 compared to $933,722 in fiscal 2001. This $720,955 reduction is primarily due to expiration of certain non-compete expenses of approximately $522,822 offset by the Keystone non-compete cost of $144,642 for fiscal 2002, and the reduction in goodwill and trademark amortization expense in fiscal 2002 of approximately $342,775 resulting from the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The additional selling, general, and administrative costs offsetting the reduction of amortization of intangibles is due primarily to the increased costs associated with the increased revenue in recreation vehicles. Interest income decreased by MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------------------- AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- (CONTINUED) ----------- $949,520 due primarily to lower market rates in fiscal 2002 and the use of cash investments to partially fund the acquisition of Keystone RV Company on November 9, 2001. The overall effective tax rate was 36.0% for the six months of fiscal 2002 compared to 40.0% in fiscal 2001 due primarily to research and development tax credits recognized by the Company. Financial Condition and Liquidity --------------------------------- As of January 31, 2002, we had $31,091,027 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $60,058,777 in cash and cash equivalents and $47,134,094 in short-term investments on July 31, 2001. The reduction in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was due to cash required for the acquisition of Keystone RV Company on November 9, 2001. We classify our debt and equity securities as trading or available-for-sale securities. The former are carried on our consolidated balance sheet as "Cash and cash equivalents" or "Investments - short-term". The latter are carried on our consolidated balance sheet as "Investments - investments available-for-sale". Trading securities, principally investment grade securities composed of asset-based notes, mortgage-backed notes and corporate bonds, are generally bought and held for sale in the near term. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale. In each case, securities are carried at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses in investments classified as available-for-sale, net of related tax effect, are not included in earnings, but appear as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on our consolidated balance sheets until the gain or loss is realized upon the disposition of the investment or if a decline in the fair market value is determined to be other than temporary. Due to the relative short-term maturity (average 6 months) of our trading securities, we do not believe that a change in the fair market value of these securities will have a significant impact on our financial position or results of future operations. Working capital at January 31, 2002 was $95,433,551 compared to $150,697,245 on July 31, 2001. The Company had no long-term debt. The Company currently has a $30,000,000 revolving line of credit. There were no borrowings on the line of credit at January 31, 2002. The loan agreement contains certain covenants including restrictions on additional indebtedness, and the Company must maintain certain financial ratios. The line of credit bears interest at negotiated rates below prime and expires on November 20, 2002. The Company believes that internally generated funds and the revolving line of credit agreement will be sufficient to meet current needs and additional capital requirements. Capital expenditures of $3,282,000 were primarily for the expansion of our Kansas bus operation, a roof replacement at our Airstream operation, and expansion at our Four Winds operation to manufacture diesel motor homes. The Company anticipates additional capital expenditures in 2002 of approximately $4,600,000. The major components of these anticipated capital expenditures include the completion of our Kansas bus operation expense for $400,000; the completion of a roof replacement at our Airstream operation for $278,000; building expenses at our Keystone and Four Winds operations for approximately $1,262,000, and computer systems for our Airstream and Keystone operations for approximately $763,000. The balance of capital expenditures will be for purchase or replacement of machinery and equipment in the ordinary course of business. The Company also plans to spend $9,200,000 on a new building and equipment for our ElDorado California bus operation which will start in the latter part of fiscal 2002, with the majority of cost to be incurred in fiscal 2003. This expansion at ElDorado California will allow the Company to increase production efficiencies and techniques and produce 40 foot and larger buses. On November 9, 2001, Thor acquired 100% of the common and preferred stock of Keystone RV Company ("Keystone"). Keystone is engaged in the business of manufacturing travel trailers and fifth wheel recreation vehicles. The purchase price of approximately $151,090,000 consisted of cash of $88,810,000 and 2,250,000 shares of Thor common stock valued at $62,280,000, of which 1,372,433 shares are restricted. The final purchase price includes $6,244,000 of cash and 29,273 shares of Thor common stock valued at $810,000 that will be paid and issued subsequent to January 31, 2002, and is included in accounts payable as $7,054,000 at January 31, 2002. The value of the common stock was based on the average market price of Thor's common shares over the two-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The value of the restricted shares was based on an independent appraisal. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------------------- AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- (CONTINUED) ----------- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency related to its operations in Canada. However, because of the size of Canadian operations, a hypothetical 10% change in the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar would not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company is also exposed to market risks related to interest rates because of its investments in corporate debt securities. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
