CRUISE AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended January 31, 1996
NOTE 1.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 1996 and
the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended
January 31, 1996 and 1995.
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the current period presentations.
Effective May 1, 1995, the Company began allocating the cost of new motorhomes
between the chassis and house components and is depreciating the components
using the straight-line and mileage methods over 9 year lives with residuals of
10% to 25%. The impact of this change is not expected to be material to
operating results for the year.

financial condition of the Company.

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, 1996
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 fiscal quarter. Due to the seasonality of rental and sales operations,
certain accounts fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 1996, the Company had working capital in the amount of
$2,821,000. The Company's working capital, as presented, includes a significant
portion of rental vehicle financing. The Company's working capital does not,
however, include any portion of the related assets - rental vehicles, even
though a significant portion of these vehicles are expected to be sold during
the year through the Company's normal fleet rotation. The Company believes that,
during the next year, cash generated from operations and existing financing
available from banks and other financial institutions will be sufficient for its
capital and operating needs. At January 31, 1996, the Company believes it is in
compliance with all debt covenants associated with its various financing
agreements.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 AS COMPARED WITH
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995
Rental Revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 1996 was $41,291,000
compared to $32,806,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 1995. This
increase was due primarily to a 30% increase in revenue days, which was offset
slightly by a 4% decline in revenue per day.
Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1996 were $34,779,000 compared to
$38,302,000 for the same period a year ago. Sales revenue declined for several
reasons. Fewer rental vehicles were available for sale due to high fleet
utilization rates during the peak summer season; the number of RV sales
facilities operated by the Company has been reduced from 19 to 15; and new
vehicle sales have continued to be affected by an industry-wide slowdown in
demand.
Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue was 40% for the nine months
ended January 31, 1996 compared to 41% in 1995. This slight improvement was due
primarily to an increase in vehicle utilization.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of Sales increased slightly to 91% in 1996 from
89% in 1995. This increase was a result of a slight shift in the mix of sales
toward lower margin rental vehicle sales.
Interest expense for the nine months ended January 31, 1996 was $5,608,000
compared to $4,386,000 in 1995. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
average interest rates as well as slightly higher average borrowings.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses remained stable at 22% of revenue
in 1996 and in 1995. Incremental expenses incurred in order to meet the
Company's increased rental demand during 1996 were offset by higher revenues.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 AS COMPARED WITH
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995
Rental Revenue for the quarter ended January 31, 1996 was $3,234,000 compared to
$2,670,000 reported for the quarter ended January 31, 1995. This increase was
due to a 19% increase in revenue days, as well as a 1% increase in revenue per
day.
Sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1996 were $10,613,000 compared to
$7,655,000 for the same period a year ago. Higher sales of rental fleet vehicles
during the quarter were offset in part by a decline in new vehicle sales. High
rental fleet utilization in the second quarter delayed the sale of a significant
number of vehicles until the third quarter.
Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental Revenue was 89% in 1996 compared to
75% in 1995. Although Rental Revenue increased compared to the prior year,
holding costs also increased as a result of a larger fleet being carried over
from the second quarter.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of Sales increased to 93% in 1996 from 84% in
1995. This was primarily due to an increase in lower margin rental vehicle sales
as a percentage of total sales.
Interest Expense for the quarter increased to $1,830,000 from $1,611,000 in the
prior year as a result of higher interest rates and higher average borrowings.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 32% of revenue in
1996 from 45% of revenue in 1995. This decrease is due to expenses declining
slightly while revenues increased.
