                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note A -    The provision or benefit for income taxes is
calculated using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate.

Note B -    Per share amounts are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents have not been
included in the computations because their effect would not be dilutive.

Note C -    During the period reported on, there were no sales of securities.

Note D -    In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are
necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows have been included in these financial statements.

Note E -    The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of annual
results due to seasonality of the business.

Note F -    Financial information contained herein is unaudited.

Note G -    The Company is contingently liable to various financial
institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with wholesale inventory
financing.  In general, inventory is repurchased by the Company upon default 
by a dealer with a financing institution and then resold through normal 
distribution channels.  In addition, the Company is contingently liable to 
financial institutions for letters of credit which were established to satisfy
the self-insured workers' compensation regulations of the states in which the 
Company conducts manufacturing operations.

Management does not expect that losses, if any, from the contingencies
described above will be of material importance to the financial condition
or earnings of the Company.

Note H -    During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company repurchased 
361,455 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share from the family of one of
the founders of KIT who died in 1989.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                          and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION - JANUARY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 1994

Under first quarter market conditions, the Company borrows on its line of 
credit to increase inventory levels to provide for anticipated second quarter
seasonal sales increases. Because of this, the Company's working capital 
increased $211,000 due to an increase in inventories and a decrease in current
liabilities.  The current ratio remained at 2.0:1 at January 31, 1995 in 
comparison to 1.9:1 at October 31, 1994.

The Company's liquidity position as reflected in the current ratio described 
above, capital resources, including excess plant capacity, working capital, and
line of credit, are considered to be adequate to provide for near term 
anticipated growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO QUARTER 
ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994

Total sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1995 were $21,851,000, a 43 
percent increase from sales of $15,301,000 for the same quarter of the
prior year.  The increase consisted of a 52 percent increase in manufactured 
housing sales and a 39 percent increase in recreational vehicle sales.  RV 
sales in the Midwestern region have seen a significant increase in consumer 
demand for the entry-level RV product.  The Western region recreational vehicle
sales are up due to increased demand in both the low-end and mid-price point 
markets.  The manufactured housing sales increase was primarily the result of
the gain in manuafacturing capacity from the new production facility in
Caldwell, Idaho.

Cost of sales increased 47 percent from the same quarter of the prior year due
to the 43 percent increase in sales volume, and increased more than two
percent as a percent of sales. The decline in gross profit margins is chiefly
attributed to increases in production costs at the new production facility not
offset by increases in product sales prices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24 percent over the 
same quarter of the prior year, however, declined one percent as a percent of 
sales. The decrease was due in large part to stringent cost saving  measures
instituted by the Company in the areas of marketing and administrative expenses.

Net interest income for the current quarter increased 68 percent from the same 
quarter of the prior year. This was a consequence of a significant decrease in
the average net short-term borrowings. In the first quarter of 1994, the 
Company used its available cash to expand its plant facilities and repurchase
its common stock thereby increasing its average short-term borrowings.

Net income for the three months ended January 31, 1995 was $262,000, or $0.24 
per share, compared to net income of $275,000, or $0.20 per weighted average
share, for the same quarter of the prior year.
