         UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
       condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
       normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
       financial position as of November 30, 1996, the consolidated results of
       operations for the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996 and the 14 weeks
       ended December 2, 1995, and the consolidated cash flows for the 13 weeks
       ended November 30, 1996 and the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995. The
       results of operations for the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996, are not
       necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
       determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and market defined
       as net realizable value.

         Inventories are composed of the following (dollars in thousands):

3.     Since March 1992, the Company has had a financing and security agreement
       with NationsCredit Corporation (NationsCredit).

       Terms of the agreement limit borrowings to the lesser of $30,000,000 or
       75 percent of eligible inventory (fully manufactured recreation vehicles
       and motor home chassis and related components). Borrowings are secured by
       the Company's receivables and inventory. Borrowings under the agreement
       bear interest at the prime rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 50
       basis points. The line of credit is available through March 31, 1997, and
       continues during successive one-year periods unless either party provides
       at least 90-days notice prior to the end of the one-year period to the
       other party that they wish to terminate the line of credit. The agreement
       also contains certain restrictive covenants including maintenance of
       minimum net worth, working capital and current ratio. As of November 30,
       1996, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. There were no
       outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at November 30, 1996 or
       August 31, 1996.

4.     It is customary practice for companies in the recreation vehicle industry
       to enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have
       provided wholesale floor plan financing to dealers. The Company's
       agreements provide for the repurchase of its products from the financing
       institution in the event of repossession upon a dealer's default. The
       Company was contingently liable for approximately $130,734,000 and
       $129,135,000 under repurchase agreements with lending institutions as of
       November 30, 1996 and August 31, 1996, respectively. Included in these
       contingent liabilities as of November 30, 1996 and August 31, 1996 are
       approximately $31,638,000 and $33,216,000, respectively, of certain
       dealer receivables subject to recourse agreements with NationsCredit and
       Green Tree Financial Corporation.

5.     Fiscal year-to-date the Company paid cash for the following (dollars in
       thousands):

6.     On November 19, 1996, the Company sold all of the assets of its
       Cycle-Sat, Inc. subsidiary to Vyvx, Inc., a subsidiary of The Williams
       Companies, Inc., Tulsa, Oklahoma for approximately $57 million in cash.
       Vyvx, Inc. is a leading provider of integrated satellite and fiber-optic
       video transmission services. The transaction resulted in an after-tax
       gain of $16.5 million or $.65 per common share.



         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen weeks ended November 30, 1996 compared to fourteen weeks ended December
2, 1995.

Net revenues for the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996 were $113,892,000, an
increase of $157,000, or 0.1 percent from the 14 week period ended December 2,
1995. Motor home shipments (Classes A and C) were 1,958 units, a decrease of 106
units, or 5.1 percent, during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company is encouraged by the positive response
it has received on its 1997 product line and the Company's orders are presently
running ahead of last year's level.

Gross profit, as a percent of net revenues, was 13.2 percent for the 13 weeks
ended November 30, 1996 compared to 14.0 percent for the 14 weeks ended December
2, 1995. This decrease can be attributed primarily to lower production levels
and discounts on selected models.

Selling and delivery expenses were $6,338,000 or 5.6 percent of net revenues
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $6,439,000 or 5.7 percent of
net revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease in dollars
and percentage can be attributed primarily to a reduction in dealer promotional
expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $678,000 to $4,885,000
comparing the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996 to the 14 weeks ended December 2,
1995 and decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 4.3 percent from 4.9
percent. The decreases in dollars and percentage was caused primarily by higher
product liability costs incurred during the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 and
by a reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation caused by revisions in
certain assumptions used in estimating the cost of the Company's postretirement
health care plan which caused an unrecognized net gain that will be amortized
over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. This
unrecognized net gain is being recorded starting with fiscal year 1997.

The Company had net financial income of $369,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to income of $323,000 for the comparable quarter of fiscal 1996.
During the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996, the Company recorded $309,000 of
interest income, $121,000 of realized and unrealized gains in its trading
securities portfolio and losses of $61,000 in foreign currency transactions.
During the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995, the Company recorded $254,000 of
interest income, gains of $109,000 in foreign currency transactions and realized
and unrealized losses of $40,000 in its trading securities portfolio.

For the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996, the Company had income from continuing
operations before taxes of $4,225,000 and a provision for taxes of $1,519,000
resulting in income from continuing operations of $2,706,000 or $.11 per share.
For the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995, the Company had income from continuing
operations before taxes of $4,290,000 and a provision for taxes of $1,618,000
resulting in income from continuing operations of $2,672,000 or $.11 per share.

For the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996, the Company recorded a gain from the
sale of the discontinued Cycle-Sat subsidiary of $16,472,000 (net of income
taxes of $13,462,000), or $.65 per share.

For the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company reported income from
discontinued Cycle-Sat operations of $318,000 (net of income tax provisions of
$140,000), or $.01 per share.

During the 13 weeks ended November 30, 1996, the Company had net income of
$19,178,000, or $.76 per share, compared to $2,990,000, or $.12 per share for
the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company meets its working capital and capital equipment requirements and
cash requirements of subsidiaries with funds generated internally and funds from
agreements with financial institutions.

At November 30, 1996, working capital was $94,978,000, an increase of
$32,823,000 from the amount at August 31, 1996. The increase in the Company's
working capital was caused primarily by the Company's sale of the Cycle-Sat
subsidiary. The Company's principal sources and uses of cash during the 13 weeks
ended November 30, 1996 are set forth in the unaudited consolidated condensed
statement of cash flows for that period.

Principal known demands at November 30, 1996 on the Company's liquid assets for
the remainder of fiscal 1997 include approximately $13,300,000 of income taxes
as a result of the gain on the sale of Cycle-Sat, a $7,600,000 payment to the
minority shareholder of Cycle-Sat, $5,200,000 of capital expenditures (primarily
equipment replacement) and $2,500,000 of cash dividends declared by the Board of
Directors on October 17, 1996 (payable January 6, 1997).

Management currently expects its cash on hand, funds from operations and
borrowings available under existing credit facilities to be sufficient to cover
both short-term and long-term operating requirements.
