SMC CORPORATION
FORM 10-Q
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM PERIOD STATEMENTS

     The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared
     by SMC Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
     disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion
     of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
     the results for the interim periods reported. The financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
     notes thereto included in the 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for an
     interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
     for a full year.

2.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories by major classification are as follows (in thousands):

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average
     actual shares outstanding for each period presented with no consideration
     as to the dilutive impact of the Company's outstanding stock options or
     warrants. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from the effect of
     potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuance to the exercise
     of stock options, warrants outstanding and the conversion of debt.

     Due to the Company's net loss, stock options accounted for using the
     treasury stock method would be antidilutive. Accordingly, 1,138,500 stock
     option plan shares have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share
     calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

5.   SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

     The Company complies with segment reporting as set forth in the Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
     an Enterprise and Related Information," (SFAS No. 131) effective December

</TABLE>

     Sales decreased 6.6% to $53.1 million for the first quarter of 2000 from
$56.8 million for the comparable period in 1999. Sales decreased by $3.7
million primarily in the lower end models of the Safari product line. Sales
of Beaver product remained constant, however, the mix of Beaver product was
heavily weighted on the higher end models of Patriot, Marquis, and Solitaire.
Harney Coach Works product reflected a decrease in revenue primarily as the
result of lower Renegade sales that were partially offset by increased revenues
of Class C and Riata product.

     Gross profits were lower in the quarter-to-quarter comparisons by
$753,000 due to lower sales volumes. Significant improvements were achieved
in lowering labor and overhead costs however. These positive developments
were the result of the continuing efforts of the "kaizen" program that
evaluates all efforts on the factory floor and has resulted in the
reduction of inventory, floor space, and personnel.

        Administrative and finance costs decreased $212,000 or 8.4% as the
result of continued cost reduction activities. Selling and marketing costs
increased by $225,000 or 9.3% compared to the same period in 1999 due
primarily to a promotional contest and personnel costs. Legal and settlement
costs decreased $418,000 or 48% during the first quarter of 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999.

                                       9


<PAGE>

     Interest expense increased by $172,000 compared to the same period in
1999, due to a higher debt load that primarily was the result of higher
inventories. Since year end, inventories have been reduced by 7% as the
result of the Company's "kaizen" efforts. Further inventory reductions may be
achieved as the Company continues these efforts plus its shift from a "build
to forecast" to a "build to order" production process.

     Given the factors affecting gross margin and selling, general and
administrative expenses, operating income decreased 86.2% to $56,000 for the
first quarter of 2000 from $403,000 in the comparable period of 1999.

     The effective tax rate of 40.0% in the first quarter of 2000 is
comparable to the first quarter of 1999.  Net loss after tax for the first
quarter of 2000 was $260,000, down from first quarter 1999 net income of
$108,000.

     The Company's revenues historically have been subject to some seasonal
fluctuation. Demand for high-line motor coaches tends to increase with the
beginning of the new model year, which occurs during the Company's third
quarter that begins July 1.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the first quarter of 2000, SMC generated a cash flow from
operations of $4.8 million. This compares to a negative cash flow from
operations of $5.1 million from the first quarter of 1999. This improvement
of approximately $10 million is attributable to accounts receivable
reductions of approximately $3 million and inventory improvements of $8
million, offset by reductions in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
of about $1 million.

     Capital expenditures remained virtually constant and the Company
received a one time benefit of a lease abatement of $1.1 million in the first
quarter of 1999 that was associated with the acquisition of the Florida
service center property.

     The Company used $4.5 million to pay down long term and notes payable
debt in the first quarter of 2000. This compares to a $3.2 million increase
in net borrowing during the first quarter of 1999.

     The Company anticipates that its aggregate capital expenditures for 2000
will be approximately $1.5 million. The Company plans to use cash generated
from operations, borrowings under its credit arrangements and long term lease
obligations to fund these expenditures.

     The Company has an operating line of credit of $10 million, a real
estate line of credit of $10.1 million and a $4.0 million equipment financing
line of credit. As of March 31, 2000, $4.8 million was available on the
operating line of credit, $4.0 million was available on the equipment line,
and $2.5 million was available on the real estate line of


                                      10


<PAGE>

credit. Of the amounts outstanding on these three lines of credit, $12.6
million is at the LIBOR based interest rate of 8.00% and the remaining
amounts are at the prime rate of 9.00%. These amounts are secured by all
assets not specifically identified in other financing obligations. The terms
of the revolving credit and equipment financing agreements require compliance
with certain financial covenants and other covenants. The Company does not
believe any of these covenants will have a material impact on the Company's
ability to meet its cash obligations. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants and agreements at March 31, 2000.

     Most dealer purchases of motor coaches from the Company are financed
under flooring financing arrangements between the dealer and a bank or
finance company. Under these flooring arrangements, the financing institution
lends the dealer all or substantially all of the wholesale purchase price of
a motor coach and retains a security interest in the coach purchased. These
financing arrangements provide that, for a period of time after a coach is
financed (generally 12 to 18 months), if the dealer defaults on its payment
or other obligations to the lender, the Company is obligated to repurchase
the dealer's inventory for the amount then due from the dealer plus, in
certain circumstances, costs incurred by the lender in connection with
repossession of the inventory. The repurchase price may be more than the
resale value of the coach. The Company's contingent liability under its
repurchase obligations varies from time to time. As of March 31, 2000, the
Company estimates its total contingent liability under repurchase obligations
was approximately $120.5 million. To date, losses incurred by the Company
pursuant to repurchase obligations have not been material. The Company cannot
predict with certainty its future losses, if any, pursuant to repurchase
obligations, and these amounts may vary materially from the expenditures
historically made by the Company. Furthermore, even in circumstances where
losses in connection with repurchase obligations are not material, a
repurchase obligation can represent a significant cash requirement for the
Company.

     FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The statements in this report concerning
inventory reductions constitute forward-looking statements that are subject
to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could materially affect inventory
reductions include, but are not limited to, competitive market pressures
(including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and
price pressures), and unfavorable business conditions in the RV industry and
general economy.
