1. PART I
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of the
Company's business, expenditures, the intent, belief or current expectations of
the Company, its directors or its officers, primarily with respect to the
future operating performance of the Company and other statements contained
herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are "forward-looking"
statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995). Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in other filings made by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the factors set
forth in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (registration
statement #333-03346).
The following comments should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
GENERAL
Rush Enterprises operates a regional network of truck centers that
provide an integrated one-stop source for the trucking needs of its customers,
including retail sales of new Peterbilt and used heavy-duty trucks; parts,
service and body shop facilities; and a wide array of financial services,
including the financing of new and used truck purchases, insurance products and
truck leasing and rentals.
In February 1994, the Company purchased the assets of Engs Motor Truck
Company ("Engs"), which consisted of three full-service Peterbilt dealerships
located in Pico Rivera, Fontana and Ventura, California, and a parts store
located in Sun Valley, California. As part of the Company's acquisition
strategy, the Company closed the Ventura facility in August 1994, consolidating
its operations into the remaining facilities.
In December 1995, the Company acquired the assets of Kerr
Consolidated, Inc., which consisted of a full-service Peterbilt dealership and
stand-alone leasing facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and a full-service
Peterbilt dealership in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In March 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Denver Peterbilt,
Inc., which consisted of full service Peterbilt dealerships in Denver and
Greeley, Colorado.

The following discussion and analysis includes the Company's
historical results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
Revenues
Revenues increased by approximately $4.6 million, or 5.9%, from $78.3
million to $82.9 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of
1997. Sales of new and used trucks increased by approximately $3.7 million, or
6.3%, from $58.1 million to $61.8 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the
first quarter of 1997. Unit sales of new and used trucks increased by 6.5% and
27.5%, respectively, from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of
1997, while new truck average revenue per unit decreased by 5.1% and used truck
average revenue per unit increased by 4.3%. Average new truck prices and used
truck prices increased due to a change in product mix.
Parts and service sales increased by approximately $950,000, or 6.1%,
from $15.4 million to $16.3 million. The increase was due to growth ranging
from 12.4% to 14.1% at the Company's Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana dealerships,
offset by an 8.5% decrease at the Company's California dealerships.
Lease and rental revenues increased by approximately $192,000, or 6.4%
from $3.0 million to $3.2 million. The increase was due to growth of 21.0% at
the Company's California operations, offset by a decrease of 13.0% at the Texas
locations. The Company's Oklahoma location grew 4.0%
Finance and insurance revenues decreased by approximately $461,000, or
31.0%, from $1.5 million to $1.0 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the
first quarter of 1997. The majority of the decrease resulted from increased
competition coupled with higher borrowing costs. Finance and insurance revenues
have limited direct costs and, therefore, contribute a disproportionate share
of operating profits.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by approximately $1.6 million, or 10.9%, from
$14.8 million to $13.2 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the first
quarter of 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 18.9% to
15.9% from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 1997. The net
decrease in gross margins resulted from lower gross margins on truck sales and
less finance and insurance revenues, offset by higher gross margins from parts,
service and body shop operations.

<PAGE> 4
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
approximately $1.0 million, from $11.8 million to $10.8 million, or 8.7%, from
the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 1997. The majority of the
decrease resulted from a decrease in truck sales commissions. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue were 15.1% for the first
quarter of 1996 and 13.0% for the same quarter of 1996.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by approximately $483,000 from $973,000 to
$490,000, or 49.6%, from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of
1997, primarily as the result of decreased levels of indebtedness due to the
Company's initial public offering on June 7, 1996.
Income before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes decreased by $184,000, or 12.7% from $1.5
million to $1.3 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of
1997, as a result of the factors described above.
Income Taxes
As a result of the Company's initial public offering and termination
of its subchapter S tax status, the Company incurred $482,000 of income taxes
during the first quarter of 1997. The Company has provided for taxes at a 38%
effective rate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital,
including inventory requirements, expansion of existing facilities and
acquisitions of new facilities. These short-term cash needs have historically
been financed with retention of profits and borrowings under credit facilities
available to the Company.
In June 1996, the Company completed the initial public offering of
2,875,000 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of approximately
$32.1 million.
As a result of the initial public offering, working capital levels
have generally increased. At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of
approximately $22.4 million, including, among other things, $15.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents, $600,000 in prepaid expenses, $14.6 million in
accounts receivable and $30.2 million in inventories, less $11.1 million of
accounts payable and accrued expenses, $2.1 million of current maturities on
long-term debt and $25.4 million outstanding under floor plan financing. The
aggregate maximum borrowing limits under working capital lines of credit with
various commercial banks are approximately $6.0 million. The Company's floor
plan agreements with its primary lender limit the aggregate amount of
borrowings based on the number of new and used trucks.
For the first three months of 1996, operating activities resulted in
net cash used in operations of approximately $886,000. The use of cash in
operations was primarily due to higher levels of inventories.
During the first three months of 1996, the Company used $2.6 million
of net cash in investing activities, as net capital expenditures of $2.9
million were primarily offset by the proceeds from the sale of property and
equipment of $300,000.
Net cash generated from financing activities in the first three months
of 1996 amounted to $3.1 million. Proceeds from additional floor plan financing
and increased notes payable more than offset dividends paid to the former S
corporation shareholder and principal payments on notes payable.
For the first three months of 1997, operating activities generated
$16.8 million of cash. Net income of $785,000, a decrease in accounts
receivable, inventories and other assets, coupled with provisions for
depreciation, amortization, and deferred taxes totaling $19.4 million more than
offset decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.7 million.
During the first three months of 1997, the Company used $8.9 million
for investing activities, primarily related to the acquisition of Denver
Peterbilt, Inc..
4
<PAGE> 5
For the first three months of 1997, net cash used in financing
activities amounted to $13.7 million. Payments on floor plan financing and
principal payments on notes payable more than offset the increase in notes
payable.
Substantially all of the Company's truck purchases from PACCAR are
made on terms requiring payment within 15 days or less form the date of
shipment of the trucks from the factory. The Company finances all, or
substantially all, of the purchase price of its new truck inventory, and 75% of
the loan value of its used truck inventory, under a floor plan arrangement with
GMAC under which GMAC pays PACCAR directly with respect to new trucks. The
company makes monthly interest payments on the amount financed but is not
required to commence loan principal repayments prior to sale of new vehicles to
GMAC for a period of 12 months and for used vehicles for a period of three
months. At March 31, 1997, the Company had $25.4 million outstanding under its
floor plan financing arrangement with GMAC. GMAC permits the Company to earn,
for up to 75% of the amount borrowed under its floor plan financing arrangement
with GMAC, interest at the prime rate on overnight funds deposited by the
Company with GMAC.
Backlogs
The Company enters firm orders into its backlog at the time the order
is received. Customer orders are typically filled in 75 to 90 days and
customers normally place orders on that basis. However, certain customers,
including fleets and governments, typically place orders six months to one year
in advance of their desired delivery date. The Company in the past has
typically allowed customers to cancel orders at any time prior to delivery, and
the Company's level of cancellations is affected by general economic
conditions, economic recessions and customer business cycles. As a percentage
of orders, cancellations historically have ranged from 5% to 12% of annual
order volume. The Company's backlogs as of March 31, 1996 and 1997, were
approximately $95.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively.
Seasonality
The Company's business is moderately seasonal. Seasonal effects on new
truck sales related to the seasonal purchasing patterns of any single customer
type are mitigated by the Company's diverse customer base, including small and
large fleets, governments, corporations and owner operators. However, truck,
parts and service operations historically have experienced higher volumes of
sales in the second and third quarters. The Company has historically received
benefits from volume purchases and meeting vendor sales targets in the form of
cash rebates, which are typically recognized when received. Approximately 50%
of such rebates are typically received in the fourth quarter, resulting in a
seasonal increase in gross profit.
Cyclicality
The Company's business, as well as the entire retail heavy-duty truck
industry, is dependent on a number of factors relating to general economic
conditions, including fuel prices, interest rate fluctuations, economic
recessions and customer business cycles. In addition, unit sales of new trucks
have historically been subject to substantial cyclical variation based on such
general economic conditions. Although the Company believes that its geographic
expansion and diversification into truck-related services, including financial
services, leasing, rentals and service and parts, will reduce the overall
impact to the Company resulting from general economic conditions affecting
heavy-duty truck sales, the Company's operations may be materially and
adversely affected by any continuation or renewal of general downward economic
pressures or adverse cyclical trends.
Effects of Inflation
The Company believes that the relatively moderate inflation over the
last few years has not had a significant impact on the Company's revenue or
profitability. The company does not expect inflation to have any near-term
material effect on the sales of its products, although there can be no
assurance that such an effect will not occur in the future
