CRUISE AMERICA, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended January 31, 1995
NOTE 1.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all the adjustments (principally consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Cruise America, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 1995, and
the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended
January 31, 1994, and 1995.
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the current period presentations.

Interest on Borrowings 4,317 4,233
------ ------
NOTE 3.
The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition of the Company.
NOTE 4.
During the third quarter ended January 31, 1994, the Company made a
strategic decision to permanently retire a segment of older vehicles from its
rental fleet. This decision was consistent with the Company's ongoing goal to
maintain its position as the industry leader by operating the newest rental
fleet in the industry. In conjunction with this retirement, the Company
transferred vehicles having a net book value of $22,075,000 into sales inventory
and took a one time pre-tax charge of $3,452,000 during the quarter to adjust
the carrying value of the vehicles for quick disposition and to cover any
refurbishing costs needed. The one time charge is included in Cost of Rentals.
The decrease in inventories in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine months ended January 31, 1994, is net of the transfer-in of the vehicles.
PART I.
ITEM 2
CRUISE AMERICA, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Nine Months ended January 31, 1995
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal. In the first and second fiscal
quarters, the Company historically records profits. In the third and fourth
quarters, the Company historically records losses. The Company's purchases of
motorhomes for the rental fleet are also seasonal, with the majority of
purchases being made in the first and fourth fiscal quarters. Due to the
seasonality of rental and sales operations, certain accounts fluctuate from
quarter to quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 1995, the Company has working capital in the amount of
$7.5 million. The Company believes that, during the next year, cash generated
from operations and financing available from banks and other financial
institutions will be sufficient for its capital and operating needs.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994
Rental Revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 1995, was $32,806,000,
compared to $37,922,000, reported for the nine months ended January 31, 1994.
This decline was due to a 25% reduction in revenue days offset in part by a 15%
increase in revenue per day. The decline in Rental Revenue, which occurred in
the first two quarters, was partially offset by improvement in the third
quarter.
Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1995, were $38,302,000,
compared to $42,244,000, for the nine months ended January 31, 1994. This
decline was due primarily to the Company's decision to limit wholesale sales in
the third quarter as the Company's need to sell older fleet vehicles diminished.
Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue was 41% for the nine
months ended January 31, 1995, compared to 57% for the nine months ended January
31, 1994. Cost of Rentals in 1994 included a one-time revaluation charge of
$3,452,000. Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue for the nine
months ended January 31, 1994, excluding the one-time charge was 48%. The
increase in profitability was due to a decrease in variable costs which resulted
from a drop in volume of rental operations at the same time rental rates were
increasing. A reduction in the average rental fleet size also had the effect of
lowering fixed rental costs.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of Sales was 89% in 1995 compared to 91% in
1994. This increase in profitability has resulted from a slight shift in the mix
of sales toward higher margin used vehicle sales as well as a reduction in
wholesale sales of older fleet vehicles.
Interest Expense increased in 1995 to $4,386,000 from $3,898,000 due
primarily to interest rate increases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $15,356,000 in
1994, to $15,734,000 in 1995 mainly as a result of additional advertising
expenditures as well as a slight increase in personnel costs to the Company's
fleet refurbishing activities.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994
Rental Revenue for the quarter ended January 31, 1995, was $2,670,000
compared to $1,904,000 reported for the quarter ended January 31, 1994. This
improvement was due to a 38% increase in revenue days and a 2% increase in
revenue per day.
Sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1995, were $7,655,000 compared to
$13,497,000 for the same period a year ago. This decline was due mainly to a
shift in rental vehicle sales from the third quarter to the second quarter this
year. The Company was able to accelerate these sales due to lower rental volume
at the end of the peak summer rental season. In addition, the Company limited
wholesale sales in the third quarter as the need to dispose of older fleet
vehicles dimished.
Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue was 75% in 1995, compared
to 302% in 1994. Cost of Rentals in 1994 included a one-time revaluation charge
of $3,452,000. Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue for the quarter
ended January 31, 1994, excluding the one-time charge was 121%. The improvement
in the current year is due to the Company operating a newer, smaller fleet,
which has had the impact of reducing both fixed and variable costs.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of Sales was 84% for the quarter ended
January 31, 1995, compared to 90% in 1994. This increase is due to the Company's
shift away from lower margin wholesale sales.
Interest Expense for the quarter ended January 31, 1995, was $1,611,000
compared to $1,070,000 in 1994. This increase is due to increased interest rates
as the prime rate has increased dramatically.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,658,000 in the third
quarter compared to $4,456,000 a year ago. This increase was due to increased
advertising and increased personnel costs associated with the Company's
refurbishing of rental vehicles.
