Working capital at January 31, 1996 was $70,368,523 compared to $65,151,234
at July 31, 1995.  Inventory valued at current cost at January 31, 1996 
exceeded the LIFO inventory by $2,738,597.

The Company currently has a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit with Harris
Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One.  The amount borrowed under this line as 
of January 31, 1996 was $1,400,000.  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 below prime and expires on November 29, 1996. 
The Company had no long term debt as of January 31, 1996.  Amortization of 
intangibles increased from $1,340,640 at January 31, 1995, to $1,432,749 at 
January 31, 1996 due to acqusition in fiscal 1995.

On March 1, 1995, the Company purchased for cash certain assets and liabilities
of Skamper Corporation, and on March 27, 1995, the Company purchased for cash
certain assets of Lake Capital Corporation, doing business as Komfort Trailer.
The total cash price of both acquisitions was approximately $5,124,000.  The 
revenues and operating results of each entity is reflected in the consolidated
statement of income of Thor Industries from time of acquisition forward.

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. 

During the six months of fiscal 1996, Thor purchased 26,000 shares of its
common stock, increasing treasury stock by $441,450.
