Current RV Market Environment
Economic conditions stabilize:
Consumer confidence still lagging, but generally trending in the right direction
Unemployment levels appear to have stabilized and job growth appears to be starting
Financing conditions stabilize:
Existing wholesale and retail players are focused on partnering with strong manufacturers
Marketplace is more competitive and rational – retail and wholesale
Dealer inventory turns are appropriate and aged inventory significantly reduced
Interest rates at historic low levels
14
We believe that retail sales will be the key driver to sustain our
recovery and for continued growth We continue to review retail activity to ensure our production schedule is
in line with end retail demand Ample available physical capacity despite facility consolidation; motor
home capacity estimated to be 10,500 to 12,200 units per year depending on mix; towable capacity approximately 8,000 units
While primary goal is profitability, it is important to “give back” to
employees who worked so hard throughout the recession. Didn’t pass on health care premium increases to employees in January
2011 (annual impact of $1.2M) Restored salaries reduced in March of FY2009 effective March of FY2011
(annual impact of $1.1M) Reinstated merit hourly increases that were frozen in March of FY2009
effective March of FY2011 (annual impact of $300K) Stock granted to key management in March of FY 2011 (approx. $1.2M
noncash expense in Fiscal 2011)
Diversification: We continue to analyze additional diversification opportunities

Revenues Gross Profit (Deficit)
Improvement noted in the first nine months of FY2011 due to the following: Added volume which resulted in greater fixed cost absorption and
improved labor efficiencies
Average selling price of our product increased 6.9% due to an improved mix of higher-priced Class A product sold
Reduced discounting and retail programs due to reasonable dealer inventory levels and improved retail registrations, which were up 5% as compared to prior year
As a result, we have seen improvements throughout Fiscal
2011 in both net revenues and in our operating performance.
