- - ---------------------------------

Net sales for the quarter totaled $114,369,627, up 26% from
$90,782,735 in the same period last year. Primarily as a result of
higher sales, income before income taxes rose 4.2% to $3,609,416
compared to $3,464,242 in the same period last year.

as a percentage of sales from 9.4% to 8.2% due primarily to increased

$45,449 due to increased interest rates and increases in short term
borrowings respectively.

This decrease is due primarily to favorable utilization of foreign tax
credits.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- - ---------------------------------

As of January 31, 1995, Thor had $5,355,301 in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $13,563,673 on July 31, 1994.

Working capital at January 31, 1995 was $62,554,356 compared to
$56,554,905 at July 31, 1994.  Inventory valued at current cost at
January 31, 1995 exceeded the LIFO inventory by $1,747,852.

The Company currently has a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit with
Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One.  The amount borrowed under
this line as of January 31, 1995 was $7,600,000  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 at or below
prime and expires on November 30, 1995.  The Company had no long term
debt as of January 31, 1995.

The Board of Directors authorized the Chairman or Vice Chairman to
purchase, from time to time, up to $5 million of Thor common stock in
the open market or other transactions, at their discretion.  Such
repurchase may be suspended at any time without notice.

The Company believes that internally generated funds and the revolving
credit agreement already in place will be sufficient to meet current
operating needs and anticipated capital requirements.  The Company
does not anticipate significant capital expenditures for fiscal 1995.
