The Board of Directors

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

     We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Vantare  International,
Inc.  (the  "Company")  as of December 31, 1995,  and the related  statements of
operations and accumulated deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

         We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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  Vantare
International,  Inc. as of December 31, 1995,  and the results of its operations
and its cash  flows  for the year  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                December 31, 1995


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     Industry:   The  Company  is  a   manufacturer   and   servicer  of  custom
     bus-conversion  motor  coaches  which  commenced  operations  in 1991.  The
     Company  primarily  sells its product to individuals  throughout the United
     States and Canada.

     Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, net of all anticipated
     discounts,  when  the  title  to the  motor  coach  passes,  normally  upon
     completion  of  production  and  issuance of an invoice and  Manufacturer's
     Statement of Origin.  Customer  deposits  consist of cash down payments and
     vehicle  trade-ins  and are  recognized  as  revenue  based  upon the above
     conditions being met.

     Inventories:  New coach  shells and used coaches are stated at the lower of
     cost or market on a specific identification basis. Raw material inventories
     are  stated at the lower of cost or market  with  costs  determined  by the
     average cost method.  New coach shells are obtained  subject to consignment
     agreements with manufacturers and it is the Company's policy to record them
     as part of work in progress inventories and trade accounts payable.

     Depreciation: Depreciation is recorded using straight-line methods over the
     estimated  useful  lives of the  related  assets  for  financial  reporting
     purposes.

     Income taxes:  The Company,  with consent of its  stockholder,  has elected
     under Internal Revenue Code Section 1362(a) to be taxed as an S-Corporation
     as of January  1, 1992,  whereby  income or losses are passed  through  the
     Corporation to the individual  stockholder.  Accordingly,  no provision for
     income taxes has been presented in the accompanying  financial  statements.
     The primary  differences between the basis of items for income tax purposes
     and the carrying  amounts of such items for  financial  reporting  purposes
     relate to accounts receivable,  inventory overhead,  depreciation  expense,
     warranty reserve, and accrued vacation pay.

     Advertising  costs:  The Company  expenses  advertising  costs as incurred.
     Total   advertising   costs   included  in  "operating   expenses"  in  the
     accompanying  financial  statements  amounted to $84,815 for the year ended
     December 31, 1995.

     Warranty reserve: A product warranty reserve of $115,000 as of December 31,
     1995,  which  is  based  on  estimates  of  future  costs  associated  with
     fulfilling warranty obligations, is included in "accrued expenses and other
     liabilities" in the accompanying  financial  statements.  The estimates are
     derived from historical cost experience.

     Fair  value of  financial  instruments:  The  estimated  fair  value of the
     Company's  cash  equivalents  and trade  accounts  receivable  and  payable
     approximated  their  carrying value at year-end.  It is not  practicable to
     estimate the fair value of other financial  instruments held or owed by the
     Company  including,  but not limited to,  other  receivables  and  payables
     (including notes payable) due to the lack of readily available  information
     regarding the  marketability  of such instruments and the effects of credit
     risk on the measurement of fair value for such instruments.

     Use of estimates:  Management  uses estimates and  assumptions in preparing
     financial  statements.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities,  the disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used
     in preparing these financial  statements include those assumed in computing
     the  allowance  for doubtful  accounts,  inventory  overhead,  depreciation
     expense, and certain accrued expenses including the warranty reserve. It is
     at least  reasonably  possible  that the  significant  estimates  used will
     change within the next year.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     Industry:   The  Company  is  a   manufacturer   and   servicer  of  custom
     bus-conversion  motor  coaches  which  commenced  operations  in 1991.  The
     Company  primarily  sells its product to individuals  throughout the United
     States and Canada.

     Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, net of all anticipated
     discounts,  when  the  title  to the  motor  coach  passes,  normally  upon
     completion  of  production  and  issuance of an invoice and  Manufacturer's
     Statement of Origin.  Customer  deposits  consist of cash down payments and
     vehicle  trade-ins  and are  recognized  as  revenue  based  upon the above
     conditions being met.

     Investment securities: Investment equity and debt securities are classified
     as available-for-sale  and are carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains and
     losses on securities  available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases
     or decreases in stockholders'  deficit.  Gains or losses on disposition are
     based  on the  net  proceeds  and  the  adjusted  carrying  amounts  of the
     securities sold, using the specific identification method.

     Inventories:  New coach  shells and used coaches are stated at the lower of
     cost or market on a specific identification basis. Raw material inventories
     are  stated at the lower of cost or market  with  costs  determined  by the
     average cost method.  New coach shells are obtained  subject to consignment
     agreements with manufacturers and it is the Company's policy to record them
     as part of work in progress inventories and trade accounts payable.

     Depreciation: Depreciation is recorded using straight-line methods over the
     estimated  useful  lives of the  related  assets  for  financial  reporting
     purposes.

     Income  taxes:  The  Company,  with  consent of its sole  stockholder,  has
     elected  under  Internal  Revenue  Code  Section  1362(a) to be taxed as an
     S-Corporation  as of January 1, 1992,  whereby  income or losses are passed
     through the  Corporation to the  individual  stockholder.  Accordingly,  no
     provision for income taxes has been presented in the accompanying financial
     statements.  The primary  differences between the bases of items for income
     tax purposes and the carrying amounts of such items for financial reporting
     purposes relate to accounts  receivable,  inventory overhead,  depreciation
     expense, warranty reserve, and accrued vacation pay.

     Advertising  costs:  The Company  expenses  advertising  costs as incurred.
     Total   advertising   costs   included  in  "operating   expenses"  in  the
     accompanying  financial  statements amounted to $57,180 and $71,676 for the
     six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Warranty reserve:  A product warranty reserve of $137,000 and $89,000 as of
     June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which is based on estimates of future
     costs  associated  with  fulfilling  warranty  obligations,  is included in
     "accrued  expenses and other  liabilities"  in the  accompanying  financial
     statements. The estimates are derived from historical cost experience.

     Cash and cash  equivalents:  The Company's policy is to include in cash and
     cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with original  maturities of
     three months or less.

     Fair  value of  financial  instruments:  The  estimated  fair  value of the
     Company's  cash  equivalents  and trade  accounts  receivable  and  payable
     approximated their carrying value at year-end. The fair value of investment
     securities  held is  disclosed in Notes C and D. It is not  practicable  to
     estimate the fair value of other financial  instruments held or owed by the
     Company  including,  but not limited to,  other  receivables  and  payables
     (including notes payable) due to the lack of readily available  information
     regarding the  marketability  of such instruments and the effects of credit
     risk on the measurement of fair value for such instruments.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

     Use of estimates:  Management  uses estimates and  assumptions in preparing
     financial  statements.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities,  the disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used
     in preparing these financial  statements include those assumed in computing
     the  allowance  for doubtful  accounts,  inventory  overhead,  depreciation
     expense, and certain accrued expenses including the warranty reserve. It is
     at least  reasonably  possible  that the  significant  estimates  used will
     change within the next year.


NOTE B - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

     The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed
     federally  insured  limits.  The Company has not  experienced any losses in
     such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk
     on cash and cash equivalents.


NOTE C - INVESTMENT-DEBT SECURITY:

     Investment in debt security consisted of the following:

No gains or losses were  recognized on the debt  security  during the six months
ended June 30, 1996 or 1995.

The  amortized  cost and fair market value of the debt security at June 30, 1996

FEATHERLITE MFG, INC.
Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) To reflect the purchase of the assets of Vantare  International,  Inc. based
on the  assumption  that the  transaction  was completed as of July 1, 1996. The
acquisition  has been  accounted for as purchase and  accordingly,  the purchase
price of 400,000  restricted  shares of the  Company's  common stock  (including
100,000  shares held in escrow  pending the  attainment  of defined  earnings by
Vantare for 1996) with a value of  approximately  $2.4 million was  allocated to
the assets acquired and the liabilities  assumed based on their fair values. The
excess of the purchase price above the fair value of the net assets  acquired of
approximately  $3.7  million ( which can be reduced by up to $600,000 if all the
shares in escrow are not issued due to not attaining  required defined earnings)
has been assigned to intangible assets and is being amortized over twenty years.

(2) To reflect the  restatement of fixed assets to fair value as a result of the
acquisition.

(3) To record  amortization  of the portion of the purchase  price  allocated to
intangible assets over 20 years .

(4) To  adjust  income  taxes  as a  result  of the  effect  of  the  pro  forma
adjustments on income before taxes and to adjust for the change in tax status of
Vantare  earnings  from being filed as a Subchapter S  corporation  to filing as
part of a consolidated Subchapter C corporation.
