sales were $2,639,413,000, up 13% from $2,340,442,000 in the prior year. Bus Group sales in the fiscal year were $444,223,000, up 7% from $415,066,000 in fiscal 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cash, cash equivalents and investments on July&nbsp;31, 2012 were $220 million versus $217 million on July&nbsp;31, 2011. Backlog on July&nbsp;31, 2012 was $558 million, up 29% from $432 million last
year. RV backlog was $336 million, up 47% from $228 million last fiscal year. Bus Group backlog was $222 million, up 9% from $204 million in fiscal 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Thor achieved record annual revenue for the fiscal year ended July&nbsp;31, 2012. Likewise, our fourth quarter revenue was very strong, setting a new record for any fourth quarter in Thor&#146;s
history. While promotional activity abated somewhat in recent months, the environment remains competitive and industry incentives remain high. Our higher year-end backlogs provide optimism for next fiscal year, which is tempered by lower consumer
confidence levels and the uncertain economic and political landscapes,&#148; said Peter B. Orthwein, Thor Chairman&nbsp;&amp; CEO. &#147;RV dealer inventories remain well aligned with consumer demand and, like last year, some dealers are waiting for
Thor&#146;s September Open House event in Indiana before increasing their order activity,&#148; he added. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This release includes certain
