ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these

the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

 1.   Organization and Business:

      Hall Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1965 and operated
      three recreational vehicle ("RV") dealerships in the Lexington, Kentucky
      area until near the end of 1997, when the operations were consolidated
      into two sites. In addition to new and used RV sales, the Company offers
      complementary products and services including parts, repair and
      maintenance services, body shop services, and financing and insurance
      contracts.

 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      Cash and Cash Equivalents
      For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
      cash, contracts in transit, and all highly liquid investments with a
      maturity of three months or less when purchased.

      Inventories
      Inventories of new and used vehicles and parts inventory are stated at the
      lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out
      ("LIFO") method. New vehicle cost includes the invoice price, delivery,
      and the cost of any special features added to the vehicles. Used vehicle
      cost includes the purchase price plus reconditioning and make-ready costs.

      Property and Equipment
      The cost of property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
      related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
      for financial reporting purposes.

      Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

               Buildings and improvements                    7 years
               Furniture and fixtures                        5 years
               Machinery, vehicles and equipment             7 years
               Rental units                                5-7 years

      The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets, which are sold
      or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any
      resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Property
      and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
      business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not
      be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash
      flows of the related assets are less than carrying values.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

      Revenue Recognition
      Revenue is recognized when vehicles are delivered, service is performed,
      and parts are sold. Finance, insurance and warranty revenues are
      recognized at the time the contracts are sold.

      Other Revenue
      Other revenue consists primarily of finance fees, insurance commissions,
      extended warranty contract and rental fees income.

      Finance fees represent revenues earned by the Company for notes placed
      with financial institutions in connection with customer vehicle financing.
      The Company is charged back for a portion of these finance fees should the
      customer terminate the finance contract prior to its scheduled maturity.
      The Company has recorded an estimated allowance for these chargebacks
      based upon its historical experience for prepayments or defaults on the
      finance contracts. The allowance for chargebacks for December 31, 1999 was
      $114,690. Insurance income represents commissions earned on credit life,
      accident, and disability insurance sold in connection with the vehicle on
      behalf of third-party insurance companies. Warranty income represents
      revenues earned on extended warranty contracts sold on behalf of a third
      party.

      Income Taxes
      The Company is an S corporation, and as such, no provision for income
      taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements as the
      Company's taxable income is reported directly by the shareholders for tax
      purposes.

      Advertising
      The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising
      expenses totaled $168,862 for 1999.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments
      The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to
      various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Unless
      otherwise disclosed, the fair value of financial instruments approximates
      their recorded values due to the short-term nature of the maturities.

      Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

 6.  Commitments and Contingencies:

     Operating Leases
     The Company leases its facilities under operating leases. Rent expense
     related to operating leases was $157,032 for 1999. These leases were
     canceled in 2000 in connection with the Company's relocation (NOTE 9) to a
     facility under a month-to-month lease.

     Litigation
     In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to involvement in
     legal actions. However, in the opinion of management, there are no
     outstanding matters that will result in a significant liability.

     Government Regulation
     The Company is subject to federal, state and local provisions regulating
     the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these
     provisions has not had, nor does management expect such compliance to have,
     any material effect upon the capital expenditures, net income, financial
     condition, or competitive position of the Company. Management believes that
     its current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of
     such wastes comply with applicable federal and state requirements.

     Third-Party Financing
     The Company uses third-party banks and/or finance companies to assist its
     customers in locating financing for vehicle purchases. The Company refers
     customers to one or more of these third-party financing sources and earns a
     referral fee if the third-party lender consummates a loan contract with the
     customer. These contracts represent third-party financing, and the Company
     provides no underwriting or credit approval services for the lender. The
     Company's referral fees are in fact a commission and are typically based
     upon the difference between the interest rate the customer pays under the
     contract with the lender and an interest rate designated by the lender. At
     no time does the Company service or guarantee the collection of these loans
     or receivables. The Company could be charged back the commission by the
     lender if the loan is paid off or foreclosed in a specified period of time,
     usually limited to the first six months of the term, and if the chargeback
     exceeds reserves retained by the lender.

6.   Commitments and Contingencies - Continued:

     Third-Party Financing - Continued
     The Company records this commission income based upon the amount earned
     less allowances for chargebacks. In determining the allowances for
     chargebacks, the Company takes into consideration past experience with
     chargebacks. The chargeback allowance at December 31, 1999 was
     approximately $115,000. Finance chargebacks were approximately $82,000 in
     1999.

7.   Related-Party Transactions:

     In 1993, the Company borrowed $81,138 from a family member of the primary
     shareholder which was payable on demand. In 1997, the Company borrowed
     $140,000 from the primary shareholder with principal to be paid before
     September 10, 1999. In July 1999, these related-party notes were removed as
     part of a land sale transaction.

8.   Retirement Plan:

     The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan, which became effective
     January 1, 1992. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan if they
     have been employed by the Company for one year and are at least 21 years of
     age. Participants are allowed to make elective income deferrals to the plan
     per the plan specifications. The Company can make discretionary
     contributions as authorized by the Board of Directors. The Company made
     discretionary contributions of approximately $3,800 during 1999.

9.   Subsequent Event:

     Litigation
     On October 13, 2000, the Company was ordered to deliver 20% of the shares
     of the Company's common stock in connection with a lawsuit brought by a
     former employee of the Company.

     Consolidation of Operations
     During fiscal 2000, the Company consolidated its operations of two
     locations into one new location located in Lexington, Kentucky.

     Sale of Company to Holiday RV Superstores, Inc.
     On October 31, 2000, the Company was acquired by Holiday RV Superstores,
     Inc. ("Holiday"). The consideration paid by Holiday consisted of the
     issuance of 300,000 shares of Holiday common stock. This includes the
     exchange of shares deposited with the court in connection with the October
     13, 2000 court order. Holiday may be required to pay additional contingent
     consideration of up to 100,000 shares of Holiday common stock if certain
     pretax earnings levels are achieved in fiscal 2001 and 2002.

     S-Corporation
     Status In January 2000, the Company elected to terminate its S-corporation
     status.
