</TABLE>
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995, were $28.8 million
compared to $46.4 million in 1994, a decrease of 38%. For the three months
ended June 30, 1995 the Company had a net loss of $.2 million ($0.02 per
share), compared to net income of $3.2 million ($0.24 per share) in 1994. The
decrease in revenues and earnings is primarily due to soft retail market
conditions in recreational vehicles during 1995 brought about by high interest
rates and conservative OEM order levels in preparation for 1996 new model
changeover. Total chassis production for the three months ended June 30, 1995
consisted of 459 units as compared to 998 chassis for the same period in 1994.
Sales of fire truck chassis units actually increased by 10% due to the
continued shift from commercial to custom chassis, and the Company's ability to
compete with the commercial fire truck market with its Diamond, Metro Star and
GT-ONE series chassis. Sales of motorhome chassis decreased overall by 64%, as
unit sales of all recreational vehicle product lines declined. The lower
priced, lower margin chassis offered by the Company contributed most
significantly to the decrease. Domestic bus/specialty chassis unit sales
increased 93% to 52 units as the school bus and low floor transit bus chassis
production commenced during the quarter.

<PAGE> 12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to
101.9% for the 1995 period as compared to 88.6% for 1994. Cost of products
sold increased to 87.5% of revenues as compared to 80.7% for the same period in
1994. The increase is primarily the result of fixed manufacturing overhead
being absorbed by fewer units produced, the mix of chassis produced and the
proportion of these costs relative to the level of revenues. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $.4 million for the 1995 period
compared with the 1994 period. The increase is the result of additional
expenditures relating to advertising, sales travel and trade shows, and the
Company's commitment to customer service. Research and development costs for
the 1995 period remained consistent with the same period of 1994. The Company
is continuing its efforts to expand the applications of rear engine diesel
technology to additional market segments in the industry. Examples of this are
the development of school bus and the low floor transit bus chassis.
Total chassis orders received increased 13.0% during the three months
ended June 30, 1995, to 900 units from 797 units for the same period of 1994.
This increase is primarily attributed to school and low floor bus chassis
product lines, and to a lesser extent OEM orders for recreational vehicle
chassis as the retail market activities began to improve late in the quarter.
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED
JUNE 30, 1994
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $73.0 million
compared with $101.1 million in 1994, a decrease of 28%. Net income was $1.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 ($0.12 per share), compared to
$6.8 million ($0.51 per share) in 1994 a decrease of 76%. The decrease in
revenues and earnings is primarily due to soft retail market conditions in
recreational vehicles during 1995 resulting in a decrease of OEM orders. Total
chassis production for the six months ended June 30, 1995 consisted of 1,235
units as compared to 2,312 chassis for the same period in 1994. Sales of fire
truck chassis units actually increased by 39% due to the continued shift from
commercial to custom chassis, and the Company's ability to compete with the
commercial fire truck market with its Diamond, Metro Star and GT-ONE series
chassis. Sales of motorhome chassis decreased overall by 54%, while unit sales
of the recently introduced premium line Mountain Master K2 chassis and the
Alpine chassis totaled 135 units during the six months ended June 30, 1995.
The chassis contributing most significantly to the decrease were the lower
priced, lower margin chassis offered by the Company. Domestic bus/specialty
chassis unit sales increased 23% as the school bus and low floor transit bus
chassis production commenced during the second quarter. The Company will
continue its efforts to diversify into other product lines reducing its
dependence on any single product line.
Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to
96.7% for the 1995 period as compared to 89.6% for 1994. Cost of products sold
increased to 84.9% of revenues as compared to 82.1% for the same period in
1994. The increase is primarily the result of fixed manufacturing overhead
being absorbed by fewer units produced, the mix of chassis produced and the
proportion of these costs relative to the level of revenues. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $.8 million for the 1995 period
compared with the 1994 period. The increase is the result of additional
expenditures relating to advertising, sales travel and trade shows, and the
Company's commitment to customer service. Research and development costs for
the 1995 period remained consistent with the same period of 1994. The Company is
continuing its efforts to expand the applications of rear engine diesel
technology to additional market segments in the industry. Examples of this are
the development of school bus and the low floor transit bus chassis.
Total chassis orders received decreased 7.5% during the six months
ended June 30, 1995, to 1,664 units from 1,798 units for the same period of
1994. This decrease is primarily the result of the softening in the lower end
retail motorhome market brought about by high interest rates and conservative
OEM order levels in preparation for the 1996 new model changeover. However, as
discussed earlier, order intake during the second quarter increased 13% as the
retail recreational vehicle market activities began to improve. This is
evidenced by an increase in our backlog of approximately $10 million over the
1995 first quarter backlog.
At June 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $66.5 million in backlog
chassis orders. The Company has increased production levels of fire truck
chassis in an effort to reduce the backlog and respond more promptly to
customer delivery requirements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Over the years, the Company has financed its growth through a
combination of funds provided from equity offerings, operations and long and
short-term debt financing. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, cash
provided by the operating activities amounted to approximately $1.3 million.
On June 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $50.5 million compared to
$52.3 million at December 31, 1994, a decrease of 3.4%. The current ratio on
June 30, 1995 increased to 5.5 compared with 5.0 on December 31, 1994. The
change in working capital was the result of decreases in accounts receivable,
and accounts payable and an increase in inventories. Accounts receivable
decreased approximately $5.0 million primarily due to the 28% decline in
revenues for the six months. Accounts payable decreased by approximately $1.8
million and is the result of reducing vendor deliveries and the timing of
vendor payments. Inventories increased approximately $3.6 million primarily
due to the decrease in production of the recreational vehicle chassis and
inventory purchases related to the new school and low floor bus chassis product
lines.
The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, the
liquidity of short-term investment securities and the existing credit line will
be sufficient to satisfy all working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future. This will provide the Company with
financial flexibility to respond quickly to business opportunities as they
arise, including opportunities for growth either through internal development
or through strategic joint ventures or acquisitions.
On July 11, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized management to
repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in the open market.
Repurchase of common stock is contingent upon market conditions. No expiration
date was set for the completion of the repurchase program.
Spartan de Mexico S.A. de C.V., in an effort to generate bus chassis
orders, is continuing its aggressive sales and marketing efforts by attending
trade shows and directly contacting customers both in Mexico and in Latin and
South American countries including Costa Rica, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina and
Guatemala. The Company is also conducting body builder surveys and attempting
to align commercial financing packages for its potential customers. Spartan de
Mexico posted a $.04 per share loss during the six months ended June 30, 1995,
consistent with the same period in 1994. The reduced production work force is
being used to perform service and warranty repairs on customer chassis but was
unable to produce bus chassis during the six months ended June 30, 1995 due to
the slow progress of the Mexican economy stabilization. The Company is
currently looking for alternative opportunities for use of the excess
production capacity until the economy and order levels improve.
The two joint ventures with Societe D, Equipement de Transport et de
Carosserie S.A. ("Setcar") have not commenced operations as of June 30, 1995.
However, since entering the joint ventures Spartan has sold and shipped twenty
chassis kits directly to Setcar. Spartan has not made any expenditures for
investment purposes in either joint venture as of June 30, 1995.
Stockholders' equity decreased by approximately $1.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of 2.7%. The decrease is the
result of dividends of $.6 million declared May 8, 1995, paid July 8, 1995 and
the $2.5 million repurchase of 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company's debt to equity ratio decreased to 10.7% on June 30, 1995 compared
with 10.8% at December 31, 1994.
The Company's unsecured line of credit with a bank provides for maximum
borrowings of $15,000,000 at 2% above the LIBOR rate (LIBOR rate at June 30,
1995 was 6 1/8%). As of June 30, 1995, there were no borrowings against this
line. In addition, under the terms of its credit agreement with its bank, the
Company has the ability to issue letters of credit totaling $400,000. At June
30, 1995, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $200,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
EFFECT OF INFLATION
Inflation affects the Company in two principal ways. First, the
Company's debt is tied to the prime and LIBOR rates so that increases affecting
interest rates may be translated into additional interest expense. Second,
general inflation impacts prices paid for labor, parts and supplies. Whenever
possible, the Company attempts to cover increased costs of production and
capital by adjusting the selling prices of its products. However, the Company
normally does not attempt to negotiate inflation-based price adjustment
provisions into its contracts. Since order lead times can be as much as six
months, Spartan has limited ability to pass on cost increases to its customers
on a short-term basis. In addition, markets served by the Company are
competitive in nature, and competition limits the pass through of cost
increases in many cases. Internally, the Company strives to improve profits by
implementing cost effective methods of production.
