                                      (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 second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received 
   $501,000 in insurance proceeds on a business interruption claim relative to 
   the 1992 tornado damage at the McPherson, Kansas manufactured housing 
   facility.

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

        FINANCIAL CONDITION -APRIL 30, 1996 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 1995   

        Under second quarter market conditions, the Company continued to
        borrow on its line of credit to maintain inventory levels to provide
        for the second quarter increase in sales.  The Company's working
        capital increased $571,000 due primarily to an increase in accounts
        receivable due to an increase in sales.  The current ratio was 1.9:1
        at April 30, 1996 and 2.0:1 at October 31, 1995. 

 
        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 APRIL 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 
        QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1995       

        Total sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 were $28,679,000, a
        nine percent increase from sales of $26,425,000 for the same quarter
        of the prior year.  The increase consisted of a 16 percent increase in
        recreational vehicle sales and a decrease of 18 percent in
        manufactured housing sales.  RV sales saw an increase as a result of
        continued demand for the entry-level product as well as a significant
        contribution in sales of KIT s newest product line. Manufactured
        housing sales are continuing to experience a general slowing in our
        market territory.

        Cost of sales increased seven percent from the same quarter of the
        prior year due primarily to the nine percent increase in sales volume,
        but decreased two percent as a percent of sales. The increase in gross
        profit margins is chiefly attributed to lower overall production costs
        at our new recreational vehicle production facility and at our
        consolidated manufactured housing plant, both in Caldwell, Idaho.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 21 percent over
        the same quarter of the prior year and rose one percent as a percent
        of sales. The increase was due to an increase in marketing costs.

        Net interest expense as opposed to net interest income for the current
        quarter increased nearly three times. This was a consequence of a
        significant increase in the average net short-term borrowing.

        Net income from operations for the three months ended April 30, 1996
        was $503,000, or $0.45 per share, compared to $373,000, or $0.34 per
        share, for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income for the
        quarter ended April 30, 1995 included an after tax gain on a business
        interruption claim of $301,000, or $0.27 per share.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 
        SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995

        Total sales for the six months ended April 30, 1996 were $46,650,000,
        a three percent decrease from sales of $48,276,000 for the same
        quarter of the prior year. The decrease consisted of a 36 percent
        decrease in manufactured housing sales and a nine percent increase in
        recreational vehicle sales.  RV sales in the Midwestern region saw an
        increase as a result of continued consumer demand for our entry-level
        RV product. The Western region recreational vehicle sales are up due 
        to an increase in sales of our newest product line. The manufactured
        housing sales decrease was chiefly the result of an overall slowing in
        our market territory.

        Cost of sales decreased five percent from the same period of the prior
        year due principally to the three percent decrease in sales volume,
        and decreased one percent as a percent of sales. The rise in gross
        profit margins is chiefly attributed to reduced production costs at
        the new consolidated  manufactured homes plant in Caldwell, Idaho. 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 15 percent over
        the same period of the prior year and rose two percent as a percent of
        sales. The increase was primarily due to increases in marketing costs.

        Net interest expense as opposed to net interest income in the same
        period of the prior year, increased 160 percent. This was a
        consequence of a significant increase in the average net short-term
        borrowing.

        Net income from operations for the six months ended April 30, 1996 was
        $511,000, or $.46 per share, compared to $635,000, or $0.57 per share,
        for the same period of the prior year. Net income for the six months
        ended April 30, 1995 included an after-tax gain from a business
        interruption claim of $301,000, or $0.27 per share.
