                          Independent Auditor's Report

Board of Directors
Lippert Components, Inc.
Alma, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lippert Components, Inc. as
of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended September 30, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Lippert Components, Inc. as of
September 30, 1997 and 1996, and and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three year period ended September 30, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               September 30, 1997
================================================================================

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its
divisions. All significant intracompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting
policies.

Nature of Business

The Company primarily fabricates and assembles steel components for sale to
manufacturers of mobile homes.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses.

Management has recorded estimated liabilities for workers compensation claims
which are in excess of amounts reserved by the insurance carrier. These
additional accruals were approximately $ 550,000 and $ 700,000 for the years
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. It is at least reasonably
possible that a change in this estimate will occur in the near term.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon prior
experience and management's assessment of the collectibility of existing
specific accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Cost of labor and factory overhead included in finished goods are priced
substantially on the basis of actual costs incurred.

================================================================================

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major replacements and additions are
charged to the property accounts while maintenance and repairs which do not
improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
Upon sale or retirement of properties the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property and equipment is
depreciated over the estimated useful lives primarily on the straight-line basis
for financial reporting purposes. For income tax purposes, depreciation is
calculated primarily on accelerated methods.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization include non-competition agreements and
goodwill. The agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their
terms of five to 10 years and goodwill on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the September 30, 1996 and 1995,
comparative totals to conform to the September 30, 1997, presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.

================================================================================

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable.
Cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits are subject to the risk that
the financial institution will not pay when the cash is requested. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company had deposits in excess of insurance coverage in
the amount of $ 4,368,539.

Lippert Components, Inc. manufactures and sells component parts for the
manufactured housing industry in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Company grants credit to customers, substantially all of whom are producers
of manufactured housing located in the vicinity of their operating locations. At
September 30, 1997, the Company has extended credit to regular customers
(trade-receivables) in the amount of $ 5,781,791.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Pro Forma Adjustments:

1)    To record amortization of goodwill, at the rate of $989,000 per year for
      30 years. Such amortization is not deductible for tax purposes.

2)    To eliminate the $1,388,000 excess in fiscal 1996, and $861,000 excess for
      the nine months ended June 30. 1997, of compensation and benefits of the
      former owners of Lippert over the amounts to be payable pursuant a new
      employment agreement.

3)    Operating profit of $193,000 in fiscal 1996, and $145,000 in the nine
      months ended June 30, 1997, of the leasing company which solely leased
      equipment to Lippert, and which was previously owned by certain of the
      former owners of Lippert. Drew acquired these assets, which had a fair
      market value of $609.000, simultaneously with Drew's acquisition of
      Lippert.

4)    To eliminate amortization of $339,000 in fiscal 1996, and $302.000 in the
      nine months ended June 30. 1997, of intangible assets previously recorded
      by Lippert. Such intangible assets were deemed to have a zero fair market
      value.

5)    To increase depreciation of fixed assets by $139,000 in fiscal 1996, and
      $104,000 in the nine months ended June 30. 1997. based upon the fair
      market values and useful lives of fixed assets acquired.

6)    Interest on debt incurred in connection with the acquisition.

7)    To adjust the provision for income taxes to the pro forma calculation of
      the provision for income taxes.

8)    To record closing costs and adjust the assets and liabilities of Lippert
      to their fair market values at the date of of acquisition, including (i)
      an increase in fixed assets of $4,062,000, (ii) a decrease in previously
      recorded goodwill of $510,000, (iii) a decrease in other assets of
      $2,593,000, (iv) an increase in accrued liabilities of $1,243,000, and (v)
      a decrease in other long-term liabilities of $23,000.

9)    To (i) record the acquisition price of $52,348,000, including the issuance
      of 1,923,231 shares of Drew common stock with a value of $25,348,000 and
      the cash payment of $27,000,000, (ii) record goodwill of $29,680,000,
      representing the excess of the cost of Lippert over the fair market value
      of the net assets acquired, and (iii) eliminate the equity of Lippert. An
      additional 230,769 shares of Drew common stock may be issuable subject to
      the attainment, by Lippert, of $750,000 of operating profits from its
      newly obtained recreational vehicle chassis business, during the period
      from April 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999. The issuance of any such shares will
      increase the purchase price, based upon the fair market value of the
      shares at the time of their issuance, and therefore increase goodwill.

10)   To utilize Lippert's cash to repay a portion of the debt incurred in
      connection with Drew's acquisition of Lippert.
