NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


STARCRAFT CORPORATION

Note 3.           Long-Term Debt

                  On October 30,  1998,  the Company  entered into a $14 million
                  credit agreement with a lending institution.  The agreement is
                  subject to renewal in November 2001.  Revolving advances under
                  the agreement are limited to specified percentages of eligible
                  receivables and inventories and are subject to a maximum limit
                  of $9.2  million.  The credit  agreement  also includes a $4.8
                  million  term  loan  which is  payable  in  monthly  principal
                  installments of $57,000  beginning  December 1, 1998. The note
                  matures in November 2001 at which time any remaining principal
                  balance is due.  The  revolving  borrowings  bear  interest of
                  either  1/2% over prime or 3% over the  Eurodollar  rate.  The
                  term note  bears  interest  at either  3/4% over prime or 3.5%
                  over the  Eurodollar  rate.  The  borrowings  are  secured  by
                  substantially all of the Company's  assets.  There is a fee of
                  .25% of the average  unused  portion of the maximum  borrowing
                  amount.  Pursuant to the  agreement,  the company must,  among
                  other  things,  maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth
                  of  $(3,200,000)  as of March 28, 1999,  $(350,000) as of June
                  27, 1999 and $700,000 as of October 3, 1999. Additionally, the
                  Company  must   generate   earnings   before   income   taxes,
                  depreciation and  amortization  (EBITDA) of at least $362,000,
                  $1,518,000 and $410,000 for the fiscal  quarters  ending March
                  28, 1999, June 27, 1999 and October 3, 1999, respectively.  If
                  these  minimum  levels  are not  maintained,  any  outstanding
                  balances   become   payable   upon   demand  of  the   lending
                  institution.  In order  to  maintain  the  minimum  levels  of
                  tangible net worth and EBITDA  through 1999, the Company needs
                  to achieve operating results substantially consistent with its
                  1999  operating  plan.  The Company is in compliance  with its
                  financial covenants as of March 28, 1999.

                  On November  23,  1998,  the Company  entered  into an amended
                  credit agreement with its former primary lender. The agreement
                  called  for all  borrowings  over $3  million  to be paid with
                  proceeds from the $14 million refinancing described above. The
                  remaining   $3  million   is  payable  in  monthly   principal
                  installments of $36,000  beginning  December 1, 1998. The note
                  matures in November 2001 at which time any remaining principal
                  balance is due. The note bears  interest at 2% over the bank's
                  prime  rate  and is  subordinate  to the  $14  million  credit
                  agreement described above. The note is partially guaranteed by
                  two individuals,  both of whom are currently directors and one
                  of whom is an officer of the Company.


Note 4.           Consignment Arrangements

                  The Company  obtains  vehicle  chassis for  modification  from
                  major vehicle manufacturers (AOEMs@) under the consignment and
                  restricted sale agreements. These agreements generally provide
                  that (i) the Company may not obtain  certificates of origin or
                  other  evidence of  ownership of chassis,  (ii)  modifications
                  must  conform to standards  specified  by the OEMs,  and (iii)
                  modifications  typically are  performed  only after a sale has
                  been  negotiated  with an OEM  approved  dealer.  The  Company
                  generally ships converted chassis only after dealer acceptance
                  has been  approved  by the OEM.  The OEMs bill the  dealer and
                  provide warranty for the chassis.

STARCRAFT CORPORATION


Note 4.  Consignment Arrangements (Continued)

                  The agreements are secured by various credit arrangements with
                  the OEMs. The OEMs may require the Company to purchase chassis
                  in  the  event  that  the  restricted   sales  agreements  are
                  terminated.  The Company has not been required to purchase any
                  chassis  during  the  periods  covered  by  the   accompanying
                  financial  statements.  The  Company  pays the OEMs a  nominal
                  carrying  charge  for the  first  90  days.  After 90 days the
                  carrying  charges  accelerate to approximate  market  interest
                  rates.  Throughout  the  consignment  period,  the  Company is
                  subject  to the risk of  decline  in  value  of the  consigned
                  chassis.

                  Consistent  with the  practice  in its  industry,  the Company
                  accounts for chassis as  consignment  inventory.  Accordingly,
                  the Company records chassis inventory and related  obligations
                  only in the event they are  required to purchase  chassis from
                  the  OEM.   Provisions   for  decline  in  chassis  value  are
                  recognized when, in management's  estimation,  such provisions
                  are  necessary.  Provisions  for  decline  in  chassis  value,
                  chassis  inventory,  and chassis sales are not material in the
                  accompanying financial statements.

                  At March 28, 1999,  the Company had  possession  of chassis in
                  the  aggregate  amount of $15.4 million (of which $5.0 million
                  was over 90 days).


Note 5.  Tecstar

                  Tecstar  is  a  joint  venture   company   between   Starcraft
                  Corporation  and  an  engineering  firm  located  in  Detroit,
                  Michigan. Starcraft Corporation currently owns 51% of Tecstar,
                  which will decline to 50% once certain  financing  obligations
                  are terminated.

                  The  purpose  of  Tecstar  is  to  provide  engineering,  test
                  validation and production services to manufacture second stage
                  vehicles  for the  automotive  OEM  companies.  The  company's
                  strategy is to set-up production  facilities near OEM assembly
                  plants and manufacture vehicles which are sold directly to the
                  OEM. The vehicles are marketed by the OEM and are  distributed
                  through  the OEM  distribution  channels.  Tecstar,  which was
                  started in January 1998,  currently has three vehicle programs
                  with facilities beginning operations in Shreveport,  Louisiana
                  and Arlington, Texas.

                  Starcraft  Corporation  consolidated  Tecstar  into  its  1998
                  financial  statements.  In accordance  with ARB#51,  Starcraft
                  Corporation  recognized 100% of Tecstar's start-up loss during
                  the year and will not show a minority  interest  until Tecstar
                  achieves a  cumulative  net  income.  Should  Tecstar  realize
                  future  earnings,  the  Company  will  be  credited  for  such
                  earnings to the extent of losses  attributable to the minority
                  interest that were previously absorbed by the Company.

                  Starcraft  Corporation is required to provide up to $2 million
                  of financing to Tecstar. All significant joint venture actions
                  require approval of both of its shareholders.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


STARCRAFT CORPORATION

================================================================================
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           Comparison of the three months ended March 28, 1999 (Second
               Quarter Fiscal Year 1999) to the three months ended
                March 29, 1998 (Second Quarter Fiscal Year 1998)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales

Domestic sales  increased  31.3% to $14.8 million in the second quarter of 1999.
The start-up of the Tecstar  operations  primarily  accounted  for the increase.
Domestic sales of the conversion  vehicle division declined 14.2% compared to an
industry  increase  of 2.4% as  reported by the  Recreational  Vehicle  Industry
Association. The Company reduced its emphasis on entry level vehicle unit volume
and is focusing on the  higher-end of the conversion  industry.  The shuttle bus
operation contributed $1.1 million of incremental sales in the 1999 quarter.

Export sales  increased  $649,000 to $3.8 million in the 1999 quarter  primarily
due to improved OEM chassis flow.


Gross Profit

Gross  profit  increased  to $3.4  million  (18.2% of sales) in the 1999  second
quarter from $1.7 million  (11.4% of sales) in the 1998 period.  The increase in
gross  margin  dollars  and as a percent of sales is  attributable  to  improved
margin in the  vehicle  conversion  division  from cost  reduction  efforts  and
incremental margin from Tecstar sales.


Selling and promotion expense

Selling and promotion expense decreased  approximately  $190,000 to $1.1 million
in the 1999  quarter  compared to $1.3 million in fiscal 1998  primarily  due to
reduced sales commissions on the lower domestic conversion vehicle sales volume.


General and Administrative Expense

General and  administrative  expense  increased  approximately  $873,000 to $1.9
million for the 1999 quarter  from $1.0 million in fiscal 1998.  The start-up of
the Tecstar facilities accounted for $866,000 of the increase.


Interest Expense

Interest expense  increased to approximately  $323,000 in the fiscal 1999 second
quarter from $203,000 in fiscal 1998  primarily due to higher  borrowing  levels
from the Tecstar start-up investment.


Income Taxes

No income  taxes  were  recorded  in the 1999  quarter  due to prior  cumulative
operating losses.

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                Comparison of the six months ended March 28, 1999
                     to the six months ended March 29, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales

Domestic  sales  increased  $5.0  million to $26.1  million  in the fiscal  1999
period. The increase is primarily attributable to incremental sales generated by
the new Tecstar  operations.  The Company's  conversion  vehicle sales  declined
14.7% in the six month 1999 period,  offset by $2.9 million increased sales from
the shuttle bus business.


Gross Profit

Gross  profit  increased  to $4.4  million  (14.2% of sales) in the 1999  fiscal
second  quarter  from $2.9  million  (10.3% of  sales) in the 1998  period.  The
increase is attributable to the incremental sales generated by Tecstar.


Selling and promotion expense

Selling and promotion expense decreased  approximately  $600,000 to $2.0 million
in the 1999 quarter  compared to $2.6 million in fiscal 1998.  The  reduction in
dollars is due to lower domestic conversion vehicle sales volume.


General and Administrative Expense

General  and  administrative  expense  increased  to $3.6  million  for the 1999
quarter  from $2.6  million in fiscal  1998.  The  increase is  attributable  to
expenses incurred in the start-up of Tecstar.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately  $235,000 in the fiscal 1999 period.
The increase is due to higher  borrowing levels and higher interest rates on the
bank credit line.


Income Taxes

No income taxes were  recorded for either  period as the Company does not have a
tax credit carry-back to utilize.

ITEM 2.             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)


STARCRAFT CORPORATION
================================================================================

SEASONALITY AND TRENDS

The Company's  sales and profits are dependent on the automotive  markets in the
United States and overseas, primarily Japan and Europe, and the OEM's ability to
supply vehicle chassis. The business tends to be seasonal with stronger domestic
sales in March through July and is  influenced by a number of factors  including
atypical  weather for any sales  region and OEM  programs  affecting  the price,
supply and delivery of vehicle chassis.

The  Company's  domestic  van business  declined 15% in the 1999 first  quarter.
Conversion  inventory  on dealer  lots has  decreased  for the  entire  industry
relative to prior year levels.  The Company  believes dealers are stocking fewer
conversion  products because of the growing  availability of additional  vehicle
models such as sport utility vehicles and factory minivans and a general concern
by dealers of the future of the  conversion  industry.  The OEM's have  recently
increased  their  advertising  support  and dealer  training  efforts to support
vehicle conversion products.

The Company plans to continue to diversify its products and markets in an effort
to stabilize sales. The vehicle conversion business will continue to be the core
business of the Company,  but  additional  strategies  will be implemented in an
attempt to reduce the  cyclicality  and  seasonality of the Company's  sales. In
1998 the Company started Tecstar, a joint venture to supply conversion  vehicles
directly  to the OEM's,  and entered the  commercial  shuttle bus  business as a
start to its diversification strategy.

Tecstar completed the start-up of its Shreveport,  Louisiana  facility and began
production  shipments in November  1998.  The  Arlington,  Texas  facility began
production in April 1999.

The Company has reviewed its  information  systems for  compatibility  with year
2000. It has plans in place to replace  software deemed  incompatible  with year
2000 in a timely manner and does not anticipate any material adverse effect from
year 2000 compatibility issues. The implementation strategy more fully described
in the Company's 10-K is being executed as planned as of March 28, 1999.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)


STARCRAFT CORPORATION

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations  generated  $139,000  of cash in the first six months of fiscal  1999
compared  to a usage  of cash of  $674,000  in the  fiscal  1998  period.  Trade
receivables  at March 28, 1999 are 28% higher than  September 27, 1998 primarily
due to the  increased  export  business in the second  quarter  which has 45 day
payment terms.  The $4.8 million  increase in inventory during the period is due
to $2.9 million of inventory  at the new Tecstar  facilities  and a $1.1 million
increase in chassis  inventory to accommodate the increased  European  business.
Accounts payable significantly  increased from September 27, 1998 due to the new
Tecstar  operations  ($4.4  million),  chassis  ($1.1  million)  and  short-term
financing on a commercial contract ($1.2 million).

Capital  expenditures  for the 1999  year-to-date  were  $666,000  primarily for
start-up of the Tecstar plants.

The Company's use of cash for operations  and investing  activities was financed
by bank debt. At the end of March 1999, bank debt was $12.0 million.

On October 30, 1998,  the Company  entered into a $14 million  credit  agreement
with a lending  institution.  The  agreement  is subject to renewal in  November
2001.   Revolving   advances  under  the  agreement  are  limited  to  specified
percentages of eligible receivables and inventories and are subject to a maximum
limit of $9.2 million.  The credit  agreement  also includes a $4.8 million term
loan which is payable in monthly  principal  installments  of $57,000  beginning
December 1, 1998.  The note matures in November 2001 at which time any remaining
principal balance is due. The revolving  borrowings bear interest of either 1/2%
over  prime or 3% over the  Eurodollar  rate.  The term note bears  interest  at
either 3/4% over prime or 3.5% over the  Eurodollar  rate.  The  borrowings  are
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.  There is a fee of .25% of
the average  unused  portion of the maximum  borrowing  amount.  Pursuant to the
agreement,  the company must,  among other  things,  maintain a minimum level of
tangible net worth of $(3,200,000)  as of March 28, 1999,  $(350,000) as of June
27, 1999 and  $700,000  as of October 3, 1999.  Additionally,  the Company  must
generate earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of
at least $362,000,  $1,518,000 and $410,000 for the fiscal quarters ending March
28,  1999,  June 27, 1999 and October 3, 1999,  respectively.  If these  minimum
levels are not maintained,  any outstanding  balances become payable upon demand
of the lending institution.  In order to maintain the minimum levels of tangible
net worth and EBITDA  through  1999,  the  Company  needs to  achieve  operating
results substantially consistent with its 1999 operating plan. The Company is in
compliance with its financial covenants as of March 28, 1999.

On November 23, 1998, the Company entered into an amended credit  agreement with
its former  primary  lender.  The agreement  called for all  borrowings  over $3
million to be paid with  proceeds  from the $14  million  refinancing  described
above. The remaining $3 million is payable in monthly principal  installments of
$36,000  beginning  December 1, 1998. The note matures in November 2001 at which
time any remaining  principal balance is due. The note bears interest at 2% over
the bank's prime rate and is  subordinate  to the $14 million  credit  agreement
described  above. The note is partially  guaranteed by two individuals,  both of
whom are currently directors and one of whom is an officer of the Company.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

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


In addition to the  availability of bank  financing,  the Company has restricted
sales  agreements with General Motors  Acceptance  Corporation,  DaimlerChrysler
Financial  Corporation  and  Ford  Motor  Credit  Company.   Pursuant  to  these
agreements,  the Company  obtains  vehicle chassis from the OEM's for 90 days at
nominal  rates.  If the  Company  fails to match a chassis  with a dealer  order
within 90 days after  delivery of the chassis to the Company,  carrying  charges
increase to prime rate plus 1%.

The Company  believes that future  cashflows from  operations,  funds  available
under  its  bank  revolving  credit  agreement,  and  the  continued  use of OEM
financing  arrangements  to manage its chassis  inventory  will be sufficient to
satisfy its anticipated operating needs and capital improvements for 1999.

The foregoing  discussion  contains  forward looking  statements  regarding cost
savings,  adequacy of capital  resources,  seasonality and supply of, and demand
for,  the  Company's  products,  and the  prospects  of  Management's  operating
strategies,  all of which are subject to a number of important factors which may
cause  the  Company's  projections  to be  materially  inaccurate.  Some of such
factors are  described in the Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  September
27,  1998,  under  the  subsection   entitled   ADiscussion  of  Forward-Looking
Information@ which is incorporated herein by reference.
