                            MONACO COACH CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The interim financial statements have been prepared my Monaco Coach
     Corporation (the "Company") without audit.  In the opinion of management,
     the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
     necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
     March 30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company
     for the quarter ended March 30, 1996. The interim condensed consolidated 
     financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 
     wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements and notes thereto 
     appearing in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year 
     ended December 30, 1995.

2.   HOLIDAY ACQUISITIONS

     In January 1996, the company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to
     acquire certain assets of the Holiday Rambler Recreational Vehicle
     Manufacturing Division ("Holiday Rambler") and certain assets of the
     Holiday World retail division ("Holiday World"), of Harley-Davidson, Inc. 
     The acquisition was consummated March 4, 1996.

     The purchase price is based upon the net book value of purchased assets
     less liabilities assumed for Holiday Rambler and Holiday World.  In
     accordance with provisions of the Agreement the purchase price is subject
     to post closing adjustments pending completion of a Closing Statement
     setting forth the book value of assets less the assumed liabilities. 
     Therefore, the final purchase price has not been agreed upon and the
     following information is subject to change based on final negotiations.

     The allocation of the final purchase price is subject to reallocation.  The
     retail facilities are expected to be sold within twelve months of the
     acquisition.  The estimated fair value of the retail property and equipment
     is reflected as assets held for sale.  The purchase price allocation will 
     be adjusted by any difference between the estimated fair values and gains
     or losses on the sale of the retail store facilities and such gains or 
     losses will not be reflected in the results of operations.  The operations
     of the Holiday World retail stores are included in the operating results as
     the activities are not clearly distinguishable from other continuing 
     operations. Included in the Condensed, Consolidated Statements of Income 
     for March 30, 1996 is $9.6 million of net sales from the Holiday World 
     retail stores.  In addition, appraisals for equipment have been made on 
     preliminary estimates based on liquidating values.  Management expects fair
     market appraisals based on  intended use will increase the equipment amount
     and reduce the goodwill amount listed below.

     The following table sets for the preliminary estimated sources and uses of
     funds in connection with the acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday
     World:

2. HOLIDAY ACQUISITION (continued)

   The aggregate purchase price of $40,222,000, including transaction expenses,

4. GOODWILL

   Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair 
   value of net assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the acquisition 
   of the assets and operations of the Company's predecessor in March 1993 is 
   being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years, and at March 30, 
   1996 the unamortized amount was $19.1 million.  The goodwill arising from 
   the acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World is being amortized on a
   straight-line basis over 20 years. Management assesses whether there has 
   been permanent impairment in the value of goodwill and the amount of 
   such impairment by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows
   from operating activities with the carrying value of the goodwill. The
   factors considered by management in performing this assessment include
   current operating results, trends and prospects as well as the effects of
   obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

5. NOTES PAYABLE

   In connection with the acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World, on
   March 5, 1996, the Company replaced its bank line of credit with new credit
   facilities consisting, in part, of a revolving line of credit of up to
   $45,000,000, with interest payable monthly at varying rates based on the
   Company's interest coverage ratio.  There were outstanding borrowings of
   approximately $15,682,000 at March 30, 1996.  The revolving line of credit
   expires March 1, 2001 and is collateralized by all the assets of the
   Company.  The newly acquired Holiday World subsidiary has various loans
   outstanding to finance retail inventory at the dealerships which amounted
   to approximately $21,113,000 at March 30, 1996 and which bear interest at
   various rates based on the Prime Rate and are secured by the assets of the
   subsidiary.

6. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

   The Company has a term loan of $20,000,000 outstanding as of March 30, 1996
   which was obtained in connection with the acquisition of Holiday Rambler
   and Holiday World.  The term loan bears interest at various rates based on
   the Company's interest coverage ratio.  The term loan requires monthly
   interest payments, quarterly principal payments and certain mandatory
   prepayments, and is collateralized by all the assets of the Company.  The
   Holiday World retail dealership subsidiary has a subordinated note
   outstanding of $12,000,000 that is to be paid from the net proceeds of the
   sale of the retail dealerships.  The note bears interest at the prime Rate
   less 0.5% and is due and payable in full on March 4, 1999.  The subsidiary
   also has a mortgage on one of the stores with a balance of approximately
   $315,000.

7. INCOME TAXES

   The Company adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as
   set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. 
   "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109).  Under the liability method,
   deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial
   statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in
   effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax
   expense represents the change in deferred tax asset/liability balance.  A
   valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if their
   realization is not likely.

8. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

   Income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
   outstanding during the period after consideration of the dilutive effect of
   stock options and convertible preferred stock.  Common shares issued and
   options granted by the Company are considered outstanding for the period
   presented, using the treasury stock method.  The weighted average number of
   common shares used in the computation of net income per common share are as
   follows:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

   Substantially all of the Company's sales to independent dealers are made on
   terms requiring cash on delivery.  The Company does not finance dealer
   purchases.  However, most dealers are financed on a "floor plan" basis by a
   bank or finance company which lends the dealer all or substantially all of
   the wholesale purchase price and retains a security interest in the
   vehicles.  Upon request of a lending institution financing a dealer's
   purchases of the Company's product, the Company will execute a repurchase
   agreement. These agreements provide that for up to 18 months after a unit is
   shipped the Company will repurchase a dealer's
   inventory in the event of default  by a dealer to its lender.

   The Company's liability under repurchase agreements is limited to the
   unpaid balance owed to the lending institution by reason of its extending
   credit to the dealer to purchase its vehicles.  The Company does not
   anticipate any significant losses will be incurred under these agreements
   in the foreseeable future.

   LITIGATION

   The Company is involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary
   litigations incidental to the industry and which are covered in whole or in
   part by insurance or, otherwise the Company has recorded accruals for
   estimated settlements.  Management believes that any liability which may
   result from these proceedings will not be significant.

   INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AUDIT

   The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting an examination of the
   Company's 1993 federal tax return.  The outcome of the Internal Revenue
   Service audit is incomplete at the present time.  The Company has accrued
   what it believes to be a reasonable amount for settlement and expects that
   the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse
   effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
   operations and cash flows.

Item 2.  

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that 
involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ 
materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a 
result of certain factors, including those set forth under the caption 
"--FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS."

GENERAL

Monaco Coach Corporation ("Monaco" or the "Company") is the successor to a 
company formed in 1968, the assets and operations of which were acquired by 
the Company on March 5, 1993 (the "Acquisition").  The predecessor's 
management and the manufacturing of its "high-line" motor coaches were 
largely unaffected by the Acquisition.  However, the Company's quarters ended 
March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995 both contain Acquisition related expenses, 
consisting primarily of the amortization of acquired goodwill.

On March 4, 1996, the Company acquired from Harley-Davidson, Inc.
("Harley") substantially all of the assets of Harley's Holiday Rambler RV
Division ("Holiday Rambler") a manufacturer of mid-range and high-line
motor coaches and towable RVs, in exchange for $22,350,000 in cash, 65,217
shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, and the assumption of a
significant portion of the liabilities of the Holiday Rambler RV Division. 
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The Company is currently in the process of integrating Holiday Rambler into
its existing business.

Also on March 4, 1996, MCC Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Subsidiary"), acquired the assets of
Harley's Holiday World Division ("Holiday World") a group of 10 retail RV
dealerships located in California, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Indiana,
Washington, and New Mexico, in exchange for $1 million in cash, a $12
million subordinated note, and the assumption of a significant portion of the
libilities of Holiday World.  The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.  The Subsidiary intends to sell all 10 of
the RV dealerships and is in the process of identifying potential buyers
for them.

The respective purchase price for Holiday Rambler and Holiday World is
based upon the net book value of purchased assets less liabilities for each
of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World, and each of the respective purchase
prices is subject to adjustment pending completion of closing statements
setting forth the book value of the acquired assets less assumed
liabilities.  Accordingly, the final purchase price for each of Holiday
Rambler and Holiday World has not yet been agreed upon and therefore the
following information is subject to change pending final determination of
the respective purchase prices.

Beginning on March 4, 1996, the operations of Holiday Rambler and Holiday
World were incorporated into the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet,

MARCH 30, 1996 COMPARED TO APRIL 1, 1995

Net sales increased to $62.0 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to $38.0 million for the same period last year.  The addition of the sales
of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World commencing on March 4, 1996
contributed $17.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively, to the total net
sales for the quarter.  On a comparative  basis.  Monaco's net sales,
excluding Holiday Rambler, were $34.4 million, down 9% from last year.  The
Dynasty, Signature, and Executive models posted unit sale decreases of 
20.3%, 30.8%, and 50% respectively, in the first quarter over the same
period last year, while Windsor unit sales rose 24.6%.  Holiday Rambler's
unit sales for the entire quarter were down 8.5% this year versus the same
period last year with motor coaches being up 22.9% and towables declining
29.7%.  Overall the Company's average selling price per units for its
traditional high-line models was up 3.5%.  Holiday Ramblers average selling
price per unit in the first quarter of 1996 was up approximately 20%
reflecting a shift in the mix from towables to motor coaches.  The Company
expects its overall selling price per unit in future periods will drop
significantly due to the inclusion of a substantial number of less
expensive Holiday Rambler units in the equation.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 1996 increased by $1.4 million to
$6.7 million and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 10.9% from 14.1%
in the year earlier period.

Part of the reduction in gross margin 
in 1996 was due to the Company's expensing of $645,000, representing a 
portion of a $1.7 million write-up to fair value of Holiday Rambler and 
Holiday World inventory recorded in connection with the acquisition.  Without 
that expense, the Company's gross margin 
would have been 11.9% of net sales. The remainder of the decline was due to a 
shift in the Company's sales mix towards lower margin Dynasty and Windsor 
models and to the addition of Holiday Rambler's mix of units which includes 
lower margin towable products.  Monaco's traditional high-line models had a 
combined gross margin of 12.4%, an increase of 0.5% over the fourth quarter of
1995.  
Excluding the $645,000 inventory write-up to fair value expense,  Holiday 
Rambler had an overall gross margin of 11.3% on its March sales. The Company 
will expense the remainder of the write-up to fair value of Holiday Rambler 
inventory created by the acquisition, approximately $1.1 million, in the 
second quarter of 1996.  Not including the expensing of the inventory 
write-up, the Company's objective for the remainder of 1996 is a modest 
improvement in gross margins, primarily from purchasing and manufacturing 
synergy evolving from the acquisition of Holiday Rambler.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

A greater than anticipated shift from the Company's higher margin units to 
its lower margin models would hinder these efforts, as would unexpected 
manufacturing difficulties..

Operating expenses increased by $2.2 million, to $4.7 million and increased 
as a percentage of net sales to 7.6% from 6.5% in the year earlier period.  
The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of Holiday Rambler 
which had operating expenses of 8.8% of net sales while Monaco's traditional 
high-lime business was basically flat, on a percentage basis, at 6.6% of net 
sales. Holiday Rambler has traditionally spent more as a percentage of sales 
on operating expenses than Monaco and one of the Company's objectives is to 
reduce Holiday Rambler's level of spending on a percentage basis.  Despite 
these efforts, the combined Company's operating expense level as a percentage 
of sales is expected to remain higher than last year.

Amortization of goodwill arising from the Acquisition was $129,000 in the 
first quarter of 1996, the same as for the year earlier period.  At March 30, 
1996, goodwill arising from the Acquisition, net of accumulated amortization, 
was $19.1 million, which is currently being amortized on a straight-line 
basis over 40 years.  Goodwill of $4.09 million was created as a result of 
the purchase of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World and will be amortized over 
a period of 20 years. Goodwill amortization, a non-cash expense, will 
continue to adversely affect the Company's results of operations.

Operating income for the first quarter of 1996 was $19 million, a $796,000 
decrease versus the comparable 1995 period.  The Company's lower gross margin 
and higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales were responsible for 
decline in operating income as a percentage of net sales from 7.2% in the 
first quarter of 1995 to 3.1% in 1996.

Net interest expense increased significantly from $790 in the first quarter 
of 1995 to $863,000 in the comparable 1996 period.  The Company capitalized 
approximately $34,000 of interest in the first quarter of 1996 due to the 
acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World, compared to $111,000 of 
first quarter 1995 interest which was capitalized due to the construction of 
the Company's new Oregon facility.  The Company's 1996 interest expense 
includes approximately $209,000 of floor plan interest expense relating to 
the Holiday World retail stores.  The Company expects that, due to the 
acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World and the debt related to the 
now completed Oregon facility, interest payments and interest expense will 
continue to be higher in 1996 than in 1995.

The Company's net income of $634,000 in the first quarter of 1996 was 
approximately $1.0 million lower than that reported for the comparable year 
earlier period with the decline attributable to the substantial increase in 
sales being more than offset by the reduction in gross margin, higher 
operating expenses, and higher interest expense.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     GENERAL

     The Company may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements 
which involve risks and uncertainties.  The following are important factors 
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in 
any such forward-looking statements.

     ACQUISITION OF HOLIDAY RAMBLER

     The Company acquired Holiday Rambler in March 1996.  The anticipated 
benefits of this acquisition may not be achieved unless Monaco successfully 
integrates Holiday Rambler into Monaco's operations.  Holiday Rambler 
incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $13.4 million for 1995, 
and unless Monaco is able to reduce the operating expenses of Holiday Rambler 
substantially from historical expense levels, the acquisition could have a 
material adverse affect on the financial condition and results of operations 
of Monaco.  The process of integration may result in unforseen operating 
difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention 
that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of Monaco's 
business.  This may cause an interruption, or a loss, of momentum in the 
ongoing activities of Monaco, which in turn would have a material adverse 
affect on Monaco's operating results and financial condition. Moreover, the 
acquisition involves a number of additional risks, such as the assimilation 
of the operations and personnel of the acquired business, the incorporation 
of acquired products into Monaco's existing product line, adverse short-term 
effects on reported operating results, the amortization of acquired assets, 
the loss of key employees of Holiday Rambler as a result of the acquisition, 
and the difficulty of integrating disparate corporate cultures and presenting 
a unified corporate image.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the 
anticipated benefits of this acquisition will be realized or that the 
acquisition of Holiday Rambler will not materially adversely affect Monaco's 
operating results and financial condition.

     CYCLICALITY

     The recreational vehicle industry has been characterized by cycles of 
growth and contraction in consumer demand, reflecting prevailing economic 
conditions that affect disposable income for leisure-time activities.  Unit 
sales of recreational vehicles in general and motor coaches in particular 
declined in each of 1990 and 1991 as compared with the prior year.  While 
unit sales of high-line motor coaches have increased each year since 1989, no 
assurance can be given that the high-line motor coach segment of the RV 
industry will not experience cyclical contractions in the future.  In 
addition, as a result of the acquisition of Holiday Rambler, the Company now 
has a much broader range of RV products and will likely be more susceptible 
to RV industry cyclicality than in the past. Factors affecting cyclicality in 
the RV industry include prevailing interest rates, the level of discretionary 
spending, the availability  of credit and overall consumer confidence.  In 
particular, interest rates rose significantly in 1994 and while recent 
interest rates have not materially adversely affected the Company's business, 
no assurances can be given that future increases will not have an adverse 
effect on Company sales and profits.

     POSSIBLE EXCESS MANUFACTURING CAPACITY

     The Company significantly expanded its manufacturing capacity in 1995, 
both at its Indiana facility, which produces Dynasty and Windsor models, and 
at its new Oregon facility.  The Company incurred significant fixed expenses 
in 1994 and 1995 as a result of this expansion.  The Company's operating 
results could be materially and adversely affected in 1996 if sales of the 
Company's products do not increase at a rate sufficient to offset the 
Company's increased expense levels.

                                     13

<PAGE>

     FLUCTUATIONS OF GROSS MARGINS

     The Company's gross margin fluctuates from period to period, depending 
upon the mix of coaches sold and the Company's ability to utilize its 
manufacturing resources efficiently.  The gross margin on Windsor sales is 
generally lower than on Dynasty sales, which in turn is generally lower than 
on Executive and Signature sales.  In addition, Holiday Rambler's products 
generally have lower gross margins than those of Monaco, and have similar 
differences in gross margin between models.  Accordingly, the Company 
anticipates that as sales of its lower gross margin units increase as a 
percentage of the Company's overall sales, its overall gross margin will 
decline.

     FLUCTUATIONS OF OPERATING RESULTS

     The Company's sales and operating results may fluctuate significantly 
from period to period due to factors such as the addition or loss of dealers, 
the mix of coaches sold, the ability to utilize manufacturing resources 
efficiently, the timing of trade shows and rallies, the introduction and 
consumer acceptance of new models by the Company and its competitors, and 
factors affecting the RV industry as a whole described above.  The Company 
does not believe that purely seasonal factors have had a significant impact 
on the Company's net sales or operating results to date.  However, with the 
broader range of RV products now offered, as a result of the acquisition of 
Holiday Rambler, seasonal factors could have a significant impact in the 
future.  Additionally, because of the relatively high selling prices of the 
Company's motor coaches, a small variation in the number of coaches sold in 
any quarter can have a significant effect on sales and operating results for 
that quarter.

     ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

     In connection with due diligence activities associated with the 
financing for the acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World, the 
Company discovered a ground water contaminant at Monaco's Elkhart, Indiana 
facility.  Moreover, in connection with the acquisitions, the Company assumed 
the environmental liabilities of the businesses acquired, subject to certain 
indemnification from Harley for such liabilities.  The Company is in the 
process of performing additional environmental testing at its Elkhart 
facility, at Holiday Rambler's facility in Wakarusa and at three Holiday 
World stores in Florida, Texas and California.  In connection with the 
acquisition financing, the Company covenanted with its lenders that, if any 
remediation is required, the Company will commence such remediation no later 
than September 1996.  Based on its investigations to date, management of the 
Company believes that the costs of any remediation activities which may be 
required at these sites, net of Harley's indemnification obligations, will 
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial 
condition or results of operations.  Nevertheless, there can be no assurances 
that the Company will not discover additional environmental problems or that 
the cost of the expected remediation activities will not exceed the Company's 
estimates.

     RISKS OF LITIGATION

     The Company is regularly subject to litigation arising in the ordinary 
course of its business, including a variety of product liability and warranty 
claims typical in the RV industry.  In addition, as a result of the 
acquisition of Holiday Rambler, the Company assumed the liabilities of 
Holiday Rambler, including product liability and warranty claims.  The 
Company does not believe that the outcome of the pending litigation, net of 
insurance coverage, will have a material adverse affect on the business, 
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.  However, due to 
the inherent uncertainties associated with such litigation, there can be no 
assurance that such litigation will not have a material adverse affect on the 
business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 1996, the operations of the Company generated net 
cash of $10.3 million.  Net income and the adjustment of non-cash expenses 
such as depreciation and amortization generated $1.2 million and the balance 
was generated by a reduction in inventories and increases in accounts payable 
and other liabilities more than offsetting an increase in accounts receivable.

The Company made capital expenditures of $329,000 during the first quarter of 
1996 primarily for completion of expansion-related activities started in 
1995. The Company expanded both its Indiana and Oregon facilities during 1995 
and while substantially completed in 1995 some expenditures carried over to 
the first quarter of 1996.

The Company's principal working capital requirements are purchases of 
inventory and, to a lesser extent, financing of accounts receivable.  The 
Company's dealers typically finance RV purchases under floor plan arrangement 
with third parties as described below.  At March 30, 1996, the Company had 
working capital of approximately $18 million, and increase of $14.2 million 
from working capital of $3.8 million at December 30, 1995.  The increase was 
largely due to the addition of Holiday Rambler's current assets and the 
Company's use primarily of long-term debt financing and 
preferred stock rather than short-term credit facilities to finance the 
purchase of Holiday Rambler and Holiday World.

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash from 
operations and available borrowings under its credit facilities.  In 
connection with the acquisition of Holiday Rambler and Holiday

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

World, on March 5, 1996, the Company replaced its bank line of credit with 
new credit facilities consisting of a term loan of $20 million (the "Term 
Loan") and a revolving line of credit of up to $45 million (the "Revolving 
Loans").  The Term Loan bears interest at various rates based upon the prime 
lending rate announced from time to time by Banker's Trust  Company (the 
"Prime Rate") or LIBOR and is due and payable in full on March 1, 2001.  The  
Term Loan requires monthly interest payments quarterly principal payments and 
certain mandatory prepayments.  The mandatory prepayments consist of [i] an 
annual payment on April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 1997, of 
seventy-five percent (75%) of the Company's excess cash flow for the then 
most recently ended fiscal year, [ii] subsequent to repayment by the 
Subsidiary of the $12 million note issued in conjunction with the purchase of 
the Holiday World retail stores, a payment, within two days of the sale of 
any store, of the net cash proceeds received by the Subsidiary from such 
sale. At the election of the Company, the Revolving Loans bear interest at 
variable interest rates based on the Prime Rate or LIBOR.  The Revolving 
Loans are due and payable in full on March 1, 2001, and require monthly 
interest payments. The Term Loan and Revolving Loans are secured by a 
security interest in all of the assets of the Company and include various 
restrictions and financial covenants.  As of March 30, 1996, $20 million was 
outstanding under the Term Loan and $15.7 million was outstanding under the 
Revolving Loans.  The Subsidiary has a subordinated note outstanding to 
Harley for $12 million that is to be repaid from the net proceeds of he sale 
of the retail locations.  The subordinated note bears interest at the Prime 
Rate less 0.5% and is due and payable in full on March 4, 1999.  The note 
requires quarterly interest payments of $30,000 as well as certain mandatory 
prepayments. The mandatory prepayments consist of (i) an annual payment on 
April 30 of each year, beginning on April 30, 1997, of a portion of the 
Subsidiary's excess cash flow for the most recently ended fiscal year, and 
(i) a payment, within two days of the sale of any store, of the net cash 
proceeds received by the Subsidiary from such sale.  The Subsidiary also has 
various loans outstanding to finance retail inventory at the dealerships 
which amounted to $21.1 million at March 30, 1996 and which bear interest at 
various rates based on the prime rate and are secured by the assets of the 
Subsidiary.  The Subsidiary also has a mortgage on one of the stores with a 
balance of approximately $315,000.

The Company believes that cash flow anticipated from its operations and funds 
available under its credit facilities will  be sufficient to meet the 
Company's working capital requirements for the next 12 months.  Capital 
expenditures for 1996 are anticipated to approximate $5 million of which an 
estimated $3 million will be used to fund construction of a new manufacturing 
facility for Holiday Rambler.  This new facility is expected to be completed 
in 1997 at a total cost of approximately $7 million.  The Company may, 
however, require additional equity or debt financing to address working  
capital and facilities expansion needs, particularly if the Company further 
expands its operations or the operations of Holiday Rambler to address 
greater than anticipated growth in the market for its products.  There can be 
no assurance that additional financing will be available if required or on 
terms deemed favorable by the Company.

As is typical in the motor coach industry, many of the Company's retail 
dealers, including the Subsidiary, utilize wholesale floor plan financing 
arrangements with third party lending institutions to finance their purchase 
of the Company's coaches.  Under the terms of these floor plan arrangements, 
institutional lenders customarily require the coach manufacturer to agree to 
repurchase any unsold coaches if the dealer fails to meet its commitments to 
the lender, subject to certain conditions. The Company has agreements with 
several institutional lenders under which the Company currently has 
repurchase obligations.  The Company's obligations under these repurchase 
agreements vary from period to period.  At March 30, 1996, approximately $128 
million of products sold by the Company to independent dealers were subject 
to potential repurchase under existing floor plan financing agreements, with 
approximately 6% concentrated with one dealer. If the Company were obligated 
to repurchase a significant number of coaches under any repurchase agreement 
its operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
