MONACO COACH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.            Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monaco Coach Corporation (the “Company”) without audit.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of January 1, 2005 and July 2, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the quarters and six months ended July 3, 2004 and July 2, 2005.  The 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 balance sheet data as of January 1, 2005 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders.  These interim condensed consolidated 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 January 1, 2005.

 

2.              Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  The composition of inventory is as follows:

3.            Line of Credit

 

The Company’s credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit of $105.0 million.  On July 2, 2005, borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Loan”) were $7.5 million.  At the election of the Company, the Revolving Loan bears interest at varying rates that fluctuate based on the Prime rate or LIBOR, and are determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio.  At July 2, 2005, the interest rate was 4.13%.  The Company also pays interest monthly on the unused available portion of the Revolving Loan at varying rates, determined by the Company’s leverage ratio.  The Revolving loan is due and payable in full on November 17, 2009 and requires monthly interest payments.  The Revolving Loan is collateralized by all the assets of the Company and includes various restrictions and financial covenants.  As of July 2, 2005, the Company is in compliance with its covenants.

4.              Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options.  For the quarter ended July 2, 2005, there were 655,960 anti-dilutive options excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation (zero for the quarter ended July 3, 2004).  The weighted average number of common shares used in the computation of earnings per common share are as follows:

5.              Stock Option Plans

 

At July 2, 2005, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans.  The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.  No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.  All dollars represented are in thousands, except for per share data.

7.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

Many of the Company’s sales to independent dealers are made 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 a default by a dealer to its lender.  In addition, on a limited basis, the Company will extend limited guarantees of repayment for dealers to assist in temporary credit constraints.  Guarantees of repayment are offered only to well qualified dealers.  As of July 2, 2005, approximately $4.0 million worth of product was subject to this arrangement.

 

The Company’s liability under repurchase agreements is limited to the unpaid balance owed to the lending institution, and to guarantees referred to above, by reason of its extending credit to the dealer to purchase its vehicles, reduced by the resale value of vehicles which may be repurchased.  The risk of loss is spread over numerous dealers and financial institutions.

 

10



 

The approximate amount subject to contingent repurchase obligations arising from these agreements at July 2, 2005 is $531.8 million, with approximately 6.0% concentrated with one dealer.  The Company has included the disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” in its financial statements, and has determined that the recognition provisions of FIN 45 apply to certain guarantees routinely made by the Company including contingent repurchase obligations to third party lenders for inventory financing of dealer inventories.  The Company has recorded a liability of approximately $780,000 for potential losses resulting from guarantees on repurchase obligations for products shipped to dealers.  This estimated liability is based on the Company’s experience of losses associated with the repurchase and resale of units in prior years.  If the Company were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Product Liability

 

The Company is subject to regulations which may require the Company to recall products with design or safety defects, and such a recall could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The Company has from time to time been subject to product liability claims.  To date, the Company has been successful in obtaining product liability insurance on terms the Company considers acceptable.  The terms of the policy contain a self-insured retention amount of $500,000 per occurrence, with a maximum annual aggregate self-insured retention of $3.0 million.  Overall product liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, is available to a maximum amount of $100.0 million for each occurrence, as well as in the aggregate.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future at acceptable levels or that the cost of insurance will be reasonable.  Furthermore, successful assertion against the Company of one or a series of large uninsured claims, or of one or a series of claims exceeding any insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, certain of which may involve material amounts, which are incidental to the industry and for which certain matters 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 have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Aircraft Lease Commitment

 

The Company has an aircraft under an operating lease, with annual renewals for up to three years.  The Company began its second year of renewal in February 2005.  The future minimum rental commitments under the renewal term of this lease is $1.5 million in 2005 and $252,000 in 2006. The Company has guaranteed up to $15.1 million of any deficiency in the event that the Lessor’s net sales proceeds of the aircraft are less than $16.9 million.

8.                 Closure of Plant Facility

 

Subsequent to July 2, 2005, the Company announced that it plans to exit its Royale Coach operations in Elkhart, Indiana.  Royale Coach produces Prevost bus conversion motor coaches with price points in excess of $1.4 million.  Royale Coach sells approximately 20 coaches per year and is not a significant portion of the Company’s overall business.  One time plant closure costs of approximately $1.6 million will be recognized in the third quarter of 2005.

GENERAL

 

Monaco Coach Corporation is a leading manufacturer of premium Class A and Class C motor coaches and towable recreational vehicles (“towables”) collectively referred to as the “RV Segment.”  Our product line currently consists of a broad line of motor coaches, fifth wheel trailers and travel trailers under the “Monaco,” “Holiday Rambler,” “Royale Coach,” “Beaver,” “Safari,” and “McKenzie” brand names.  Our products, which are typically priced at the high end of their respective product categories, range in suggested retail price from $75,000 to $1.4 million for motor coaches and from $20,000 to $65,000 for towables.

 

Subsequent to July 2, 2005, the Company announced that it plans to exit its Royale Coach operations in Elkhart, Indiana.  Royale Coach produces Prevost bus conversion motor coaches with price points in excess of $1.4 million.  Royale Coach sells approximately 20 coaches per year and is not a significant portion of the Company’s overall business.  We estimate that one time plant closure costs of approximately $1.6 million will be recognized in the third quarter of 2005.*

 

In addition to the manufacturing of premium recreational vehicles, the Company also owns and operates two motorhome resort properties (the “Resorts”), located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Indio, California.  The Resorts offer sales of individual lots to owners, and also offer a common interest in the amenities at the resort.  Lot prices at the two resorts range from $119,000 to $259,000.  Amenities at the Resorts segment include club house facilities, tennis, swimming, and golf.  The Resorts provide destination locations for premium Class A recreational vehicle owners, and help to promote the recreational lifestyle.

Performance in the second quarter of 2005

 

The current market continues to be challenging, as we and other manufacturers contend for space on dealer lots.  Industry Class A retail registrations for the 2005 year-to-date through May 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, have decreased by 6.5%.  While our own Class A retail registrations are up slightly, our dealers appear to be reducing inventories on their lots, putting further pressures on wholesale shipments.  In response, we offered heavier discounts and dealer promotions to maintain market share, and slowed production rates to hold finished

goods inventory to an acceptable level.  We expect that there will be a modest reduction in discounting moving forward into the third quarter, and continuing to decrease in the fourth quarter.*

 

Consolidated sales in the second quarter of 2005 were $306.2 million versus $357.8 million in the corresponding quarter of 2004, a 14.4% reduction.  This reduction in consolidated sales was predominantly due to the softening of wholesale demand in the recreational vehicle (RV) retail market, combined with dealers seeking to reduce their inventory levels.

 

Cost of sales decreased by $39.0 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, but increased as a percent of sales by 2%.  This change was predominantly caused by lower sales volumes which created inefficiencies in our plants as production outputs were reduced, as well as increases in discounting of wholesale selling prices.  Further pressures on margin were created as fixed indirect cost of sales became a larger percentage of the lower sales volume.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (S,G,&A) increased by $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $29.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 and increased as a percentage of sales from 7.5% in 2004 to 9.6% from the second quarter of 2004.  Increases in spending over the prior year, as a percentage of sales, are shown in the following table.  All dollars represented are in thousands, percentages are expressed as percent of net sales:

The changes noted above, comparing July 3, 2004 to July 2, 2005, are discussed below:

 

                  Decreases in salaries, bonus, and benefits expenses, as a percent of sales, were due primarily to reduced management bonus.

                  Increases in selling expenses, as a percent of sales, were due to continued sales efforts to assist dealers in developing programs  to increase customer awareness of product offerings.

                  Decreases in settlement expense (litigation settlement expense), in total dollars, were due to continued success in the resolution of outstanding litigation claims.

                  Increases in other expenses were due primarily to costs associated with the installation of new information systems, as well as start up costs for the new franchise program.

 

Plant relocation costs in the second quarter of 2005 were associated with the consolidation of our Bend, Oregon manufacturing facility to our Coburg, Oregon operations.  We relocated these operations to improve utilization of our plants, to improve direct and indirect labor rates, and to reduce warranty and related costs.  Costs associated with the relocation of the Bend facility are comprised of employee termination, relocation, and job assistance programs.  In addition, we have incurred costs related to various operating leases.  We expect that total costs associated with the relocation will not exceed the $2.4 million we have already expensed.*

 

Operating income was $1.3 million, or .4% of sales, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $18.9 million, or 5.3% of sales, in the similar 2004 period.  Decreases in operating income were due predominantly to lower sales, decreased gross margin, and increases in S,G,&A costs.

 

14



 

Net interest expense was $187,000 in the second quarter of 2005 versus $372,000 in the comparable 2004 period, reflecting a lower level of borrowing during the second quarter of 2005.

 

We reported a provision for income taxes of $405,000, or an effective tax rate of 34.9%, in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $6.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 36.1% for the comparable 2004 period.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to benefits received from foreign sales activities, as well as favorable tax law changes at certain state levels.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $755,000 compared to $11.9 million in 2004 due to a decrease in sales combined with a lower operating margin, the effects of which were somewhat offset by a decrease in interest expense, and an improvement in the effective tax rate.

Total net sales for the RV Segment were down from $351.5 million in the second quarter of 2004, to $293.7 million in the second quarter of 2005.  Gross diesel motorized revenues were down 13.6%, gas motorized revenues were down 36.8% and towable revenues were down 2.6%.  Diesel products accounted for 75.5% of our second quarter RV Segment revenues while gas products were 12.9%, and towables were 11.6%.  The overall decrease in revenues reflects continuing challenges in the marketplace as dealers seek to match their current inventories with retail demand.  Our overall unit sales were down 16.0% in the second quarter of 2005 to 2,811 units, with diesel motorized unit sales down 17.0% to 1,123 units, gas motorized unit sales down 37.4% to 483 units, and towable unit sales down 1.4% to 1,205 units.  Our total average unit selling price decreased to $105,000 in the second quarter of 2005 from $106,000 in the same period last year.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 decreased to $24.9 million, down from $43.2 million in 2004, and gross margin decreased from 12.3% in the second quarter of 2004 to 8.5% in the second quarter of 2005.  The decrease in gross margin in 2005 is illustrated in the following table.  All dollars represented are in thousands, percentages are expressed as a percent of net sales:

                  Direct material increases, as a percent of sales, were mostly due to increases in products that have a higher material cost as a percentage of sales, as well as a favorable physical inventory adjustment in the second quarter of 2004.

                  Direct labor decreases, as a percent of sales, were predominantly due to improvements in automation of certain plant operations.

                  Increases in warranty expense, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to a slight increase in the warranty experience on current year models.

                  Increases in other direct costs, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to increases in employee health benefits, and delivery expense for the Company’s products.

                  Increases in indirect costs, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to inefficiencies within the production facilities associated with lower run rates in the second quarter of 2005 versus the same period in 2004.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (S,G,&A), for the RV Segment, increased both as a percent of sales and in total dollars due in part to lower sales levels, and increases in selling expenses.  Corporate overhead allocation reflects a decrease due to lower management bonus levels allocated to the RV Segment as a result of lower profits.  Corporate overhead allocation is comprised of certain shared services such as executive, financial, information systems, legal, and investor relations expenses.

 

Plant relocation costs are related to the costs incurred to relocate the Bend, Oregon manufacturing facility to the Coburg, Oregon plant.  We believe this relocation will ultimately result in improved margins for the Oregon operations.*

 

Operating income decreased as both a percent of sales and in total dollars due to lower gross margins, increases in S,G,&A expenses, and from the relocation of the Bend, Oregon operations to the Coburg, Oregon facility.

Net sales increased 97.5% to $12.5 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year.  This increase was due in part to a buildup of pending lot sales from the first quarter of 2005, that were closed and funded in the second quarter of 2005.  In addition, strong demand added significantly to the sales on a year-over-year basis.

 

Gross profit for the Resorts Segment increased to 65.5% of sales compared to 39.5% of sales in the same period last year.  This was due to a heavier absorption of infrastructure costs in earlier phases.  These costs were expensed in earlier phases, due to uncertainties as to the ultimate completion and sell through of the entire projects. The result was an improvement in the gross margins in the later phases of the developments, and most particularly in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased due to real estate commissions paid on the sales of lots.  Additional increases were due to accruals for profit sharing payments which will be made to Outdoor Resorts of America upon completion of the project.  Corporate overhead allocation is comprised of certain shared services such as executive, financial, information systems, legal and investor relations expenses.

Operating income increased due to improvements in sales and gross margins that were only slightly offset by higher S,G,&A costs.

Consolidated sales for the six months ended July 2, 2005 were $637.7 million versus $712.8, a 10.5% reduction.  This reduction was predominantly due to softening of wholesale demand in the RV market and dealers seeking to reduce their carrying levels of finished goods.

 

Cost of sales decreased by $54.2 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, but increased as a percent of sales by 1.7%.  This change was predominantly caused by lower sales volumes which created inefficiencies in our plants as production outputs were reduced, as well as increases in discounting of wholesale selling prices.  Further pressures on margin were created as fixed indirect cost of sales became a larger percentage of the lower sales volume.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (S,G,&A) increased by $5.2 million to $56.8 million for the first six months of 2005 and increased as a percentage of sales from 7.2% in 2004 to 8.9% in 2005.  Increases in spending over the prior year, as a percentage of sales, are shown in the following table.  All dollars represented are in thousands, percentages are expressed as a percent of net sales:

The changes noted above, comparing the six months ended July 3, 2004 to the six months ended July 2, 2005, are discussed below.

 

                  Decreases in salaries, bonus, and benefits expenses, as a percent of sales, were due primarily to reduced management bonus.

                  Increases in selling expenses, as a percent of sales, were due to continued sales efforts to assist dealers in developing programs  to increase customer awareness of product offerings.

                  Increases in settlement expense (litigation settlement expense), in total dollars, as a percent of sales were due to expenses returning to more normalized levels in the first half of 2005 versus the corresponding period in 2004.

                  Increases in other expenses were due primarily to costs associated with the installation of new information systems, as well as start up costs for the new franchise program.

Plant relocation costs were associated with the consolidation of our Bend, Oregon manufacturing facility to our Coburg, Oregon operations.  We relocated these operations to improve utilization of our plants, to improve direct and indirect labor rates, and to reduce warranty and related costs.  Costs associated with the relocation of the Bend facility are comprised of employee termination, relocation, and job assistance programs.  In addition, we have incurred costs related to various operating leases.  We expect that total costs associated with the relocation will not exceed the $2.4 million we have already expensed.*

 

Operating income was $10.2 million, or 1.6% of sales, for the first six months of 2005 compared to $38.6 million, or 5.4% of sales, in the similar 2004 period.  Decreases in operating income were due predominantly to lower sales and increases in S,G,&A costs.

 

Net interest expense was $672,000 for the first six months of 2005 versus $777,000 in the comparable 2004 period, reflecting a lower level of borrowing during the first six months of 2005.

 

We reported a provision for income taxes of $3.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 37.1% for the first six months of 2005, compared to $14.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 37.3% for the comparable 2004 period.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to benefits received from foreign sales activities, as well as favorable tax law changes at certain state levels.

 

Net income for the first six months of 2005 was $6.1 million compared to $23.9 million in 2004 due to a decrease in sales combined with a lower operating margin, the effects of which were somewhat offset by a decrease in interest expense, and an improvement in the effective tax rate.

The changes noted above, comparing July 3, 2004 to July 2, 2005, are discussed below.

 

                  Direct material increases, as a percent of sales, were mostly due to increases in products that have a higher material cost as a percentage of sales, as well as a favorable physical inventory adjustment in the second quarter of 2004.

                  Direct labor decreases, as a percent of sales, were predominantly due to improvements in automation of certain plant operations.

                  Decreases in warranty expense, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to a slight decrease in the warranty experience on current year models.

                  Increases in other direct costs, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to increases in employee health benefits, and delivery expense for the Company’s products.

                  Increases in indirect costs, as a percent of sales, were due mostly to inefficiencies within the production facilities associated with lower run rates in the first six months of 2005 versus the same period in 2004.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (S,G,&A) for the RV Segment increased both as a percent of sales and in total dollars due in part to lower sales levels and increases in selling expenses.  Corporate overhead allocation reflects a decrease due to lower management bonus levels allocated to the RV Segment as a result of lower profits.  Corporate overhead allocation is comprised of certain shared services such as executive, financial, information systems, legal and investor relations expenses.

 

Plant relocation costs are related to the costs incurred to relocate the Bend, Oregon manufacturing facility to the Coburg, Oregon plant.  We believe this relocation will ultimately result in improved margins for the Oregon operations.*

 

Operating income decreased as both a percent of sales and in total dollars due to lower gross margins, increases in S,G,&A expenses, and from the relocation of the Bend, Oregon operations to the Coburg, Oregon facility.

Net sales increased 43.6% to $17.8 million compared to $12.4 million for the same period last year.  This was due to the continued strong demand for lots at both of our resort locations.

 

Gross profit for the Resorts Segment increased to 65.2% of sales compared to 40.9% of sales in the same period last year. This was due to a heavier absorption of infrastructure costs in earlier phases.  These costs were expensed in earlier phases, due to uncertainties as to the ultimate completion and sell through of the entire projects.   The result was an improvement in the gross margins in the later phases of the developments, and most particularly in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased due to real estate commissions paid on the sales of lots.  Additional increases were due to accruals for profit sharing payments which will be made to Outdoor Resorts of America upon completion of the project.  Corporate overhead allocation is comprised of certain shared services such as executive, financial, information systems, legal and investor relations expenses.

 

Operating income increased due to improvements in sales and gross margins that were only slightly offset by higher S,G,&A costs.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities.  During the second quarter of 2005, we generated cash of $17.1 million from operating activities.  We generated $11.1 million from net income and non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Other sources of cash included a $21.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a $2.1 million decrease in resort lot inventory.  Accounts receivable decreased due to the decrease in net sales.  These sources of cash were offset by a $10.1 million increase in inventories, a $3.7 million decrease in accounts payable, a $457,000 decrease in product liability reserve, an $889,000 decrease in accrued expenses, and a $2.1 million decrease in tax liability.

 

The Company’s credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit of up to $105.0 million.  As of July 2, 2005, borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Loan”) were $7.5 million.  At the election of the Company, the Revolving Loan bears interest at varying rates that fluctuate based on the Prime rate or LIBOR, and are determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio.  The Company also pays interest monthly on the unused available portion of the Revolving Loan at varying rates, determined by the Company’s leverage ratio.  The Revolving loan is due and payable in full on November 17, 2009 and requires monthly interest payments.  The Revolving Loan is collateralized by all the assets of the Company and includes various restrictions and financial covenants.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at July 2, 2005.  The Company utilizes “zero balance” bank disbursement accounts in which an advance on the line of credit is automatically made for checks clearing each day.  Since the balance of the disbursement account at the bank returns to zero at the end of each day, the outstanding checks of the Company are reflected as a liability.  The outstanding check liability is combined with the Company’s positive cash balance accounts to reflect a net book overdraft or a net cash balance for financial reporting.

 

20



 

Our principal working capital requirements are for purchases of inventory and financing of trade receivables.  Many of our dealers finance product purchases under wholesale floor plan arrangements with third parties as described below.  At July 2, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $143.8 million, an increase of $1.9 million from working capital of $141.9 million at January 1, 2005.  We have been using cash flow from operations to finance our capital expenditures.

 

We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.*  Our capital expenditures were $7.6 million in the first six months of 2005, which included costs related to installation of certain automated machinery, enhancements to the Company’s information system infrastructure, as well as various other routine capital expenditures.  We anticipate that capital expenditures for all of 2005 will be approximately $15 to $17 million, which includes expenditures to purchase additional machinery and equipment in both our Coburg, Oregon and Wakarusa, Indiana facilities, as well as upgrades to existing information systems infrastructures.*  We may require additional equity or debt financing to address working capital and facilities expansion needs, particularly if we significantly increase the level of working capital assets such as inventory and accounts receivable.  We may also from time to time seek to acquire businesses that would complement our current business, and any such acquisition could require additional financing.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available if required or on terms deemed favorable by us.

 

As is typical in the recreational vehicle industry, many of our retail dealers utilize wholesale floor plan financing arrangements with third party lending institutions to finance their purchases of our products.  Under the terms of these floor plan arrangements, institutional lenders customarily require the recreational vehicle manufacturer to agree to repurchase any unsold units if the dealer fails to meet its commitments to the lender, subject to certain conditions.  We have agreements with several institutional lenders under which we currently have repurchase obligations.  Our contingent obligations under these repurchase agreements are reduced by the proceeds received upon the sale of any repurchased units.  Our obligations under these repurchase agreements vary from period to period up to 18 months.  At July 2, 2005, approximately $531.8 million of products sold by us to independent dealers were subject to potential repurchase under existing floor plan financing agreements with approximately 6.0% concentrated with one dealer.  On a limited basis, we may also grant a repurchase agreement that has a component of limited guarantee of payment on behalf of the dealer in the event of default.  At July 2, 2005, we had approximately $4.0 million of product subject to a repurchase agreement of this nature.  Historically, we have been successful in mitigating losses associated with repurchase obligations.  During the second quarter of 2005, we did not repurchase any product under these repurchase obligations, and there were accordingly no losses.  If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.  Dealers for the Company undergo credit review prior to becoming a dealer and periodically thereafter.  Financial institutions that provide floor-plan financing also perform credit reviews and floor checks on an ongoing basis.  We closely monitor sales to dealers that are a higher credit risk.  The repurchase period is limited, usually to a maximum of 18 months.  We believe these activities minimize the number of required repurchases.  Additionally, the repurchase agreement specifies that the dealer is required to make principal payments during the repurchase period.  Since the Company repurchases the units based on the schedule of principal payments, the repurchase amount is typically less than the original invoice amount.  Therefore, there is already some built in discount when we offer the inventory to another dealer at an amount lower than the original invoice as incentive for the dealer to take the repurchased inventory.  This helps minimize the losses we incur on repurchased inventory.

INFLATION

 

During 2004 and to a lesser extent in the first six months of 2005, we experienced increases in the prices of certain commodity items that we use in the manufacturing of our products.  These include, but are not limited to, steel, copper, aluminum, petroleum, and wood.  While these raw materials are not necessarily indicative of widespread inflationary trends, they had an impact on our production costs.  While the impact of these increases has not caused us to increase our selling prices since the beginning of the second quarter of 2004, we may need to pass along increases in the future to maintain an acceptable gross margin on our product.  A significant adverse trend in these prices could have a materially adverse impact on our business going forward.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to warranty costs, product liability, and impairment of goodwill.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We believe the following critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

WARRANTY COSTS Estimated warranty costs are provided for at the time of sale of products with warranties covering the products for up to one year from the date of retail sale (five years for the front and sidewall frame structure, and three years on the Roadmaster chassis).  These estimates are based on historical average repair costs, feedback from the Company’s production facilities on new product design changes, technical advice from vendors, as well as other reasonable assumptions that have been deemed appropriate by management.

 

22



 

PRODUCT LIABILITY  The Company provides an estimate for accrued product liability based on current pending cases, as well as for those cases which are incurred but not reported.  This estimate is developed by legal counsel based on professional judgment, as well as historical experience.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL  The Company assesses the potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 142.  This initial test involves management comparing the market capitalization of the Company, to the carrying amount, including goodwill, of the net book value of the Company, to determine if goodwill has been impaired.  If the Company determines that the market capitalization is not representative of the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, then the Company will use an estimate of discounted future cash flows to determine fair value.

 

INVENTORY ALLOWANCE  The Company writes down its inventory for obsolescence, and the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated market value. These write-downs are based on assumptions about future sales demand and market conditions. If actual sales demand or market conditions change from those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

 

INCOME TAXES  In conjunction with preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company must estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.

 

REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS  Upon request of a lending institution financing a dealer’s purchases of the Company’s product, the Company will execute a repurchase agreement.  The Company has recorded a liability associated with the disposition of repurchased inventory.  To determine the appropriate liability, the Company calculates a reserve, based on an estimate of potential net losses, along with qualitative and quantitative factors, including dealer inventory turn rates, and the financial strength of individual dealers.

 

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE UNANTICIPATED FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.  Our net sales, gross margin, and operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, many of which are not readily predictable.  These factors include the following:

 

                  The margins associated with the mix of products we sell in any particular period.

 

                  Our ability to utilize and expand our manufacturing resources efficiently.

 

                  Shortages of materials used in our products.

 

                  A determination by us that goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired and have to be written down to their fair values, resulting in a charge to our results of operations.

 

                  Our ability to introduce new models that achieve consumer acceptance.

 

                  The introduction, marketing and sale of competing products by others, including significant discounting offered by our competitors.

 

                  The addition or loss of our dealers.

 

                  The timing of trade shows and rallies, which we use to market and sell our products.

 

                  Factors affecting the recreational vehicle industry as a whole, including economic and seasonal factors.

 

23



 

Our overall gross margin may decline in future periods to the extent that we increase the percentage of sales of lower gross margin towable products or if the mix of motor coaches we sell shifts to lower gross margin units.  In addition, a relatively small variation in the number of recreational vehicles we sell in any quarter can have a significant impact on total sales and operating results for that quarter.

 

Demand in the recreational vehicle industry generally declines during the winter months, while sales are generally higher during the spring and summer months.  With the broader range of products we now offer, seasonal factors could have a significant impact on our operating results in the future.  Additionally, unusually severe weather conditions in certain markets could delay the timing of shipments from one quarter to another.

 

We attempt to forecast orders for our products accurately and commence purchasing and manufacturing prior to receipt of such orders.  However, it is highly unlikely that we will consistently accurately forecast the timing, rate, and mix of orders.  This aspect of our business makes our planning inexact and, in turn, affects our shipments, costs, inventories, operating results, and cash flow for any given quarter.

 

THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE INDUSTRY IS CYCLICAL AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO SLOWDOWNS IN THE GENERAL ECONOMY.  The recreational vehicle industry has been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand, reflecting prevailing economic, demographic, and political conditions that affect disposable income for leisure-time activities.  For example, unit sales of recreational vehicles (excluding conversion vehicles) peaked at approximately 259,000 units in 1994 and declined to approximately 247,000 units in 1996.  The industry peaked again in 1999 at approximately 321,000 units and declined in 2001 to 257,000 units.  In 2003, the industry climbed to approximately 321,000 units, but declined to 286,000 units during 2004.  The decline has continued into 2005.  Our business is subject to the cyclical nature of this industry.  Some of the factors that contribute to this cyclicality include fuel availability and costs, interest rate levels, the level of discretionary spending, and availability of credit and overall consumer confidence.  The recent decline in consumer confidence and slowing of the overall economy has adversely affected the recreational vehicle market.  An extended continuation of these conditions would materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

WE RELY ON A RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF DEALERS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR SALES.  Although our products were offered by 332 dealerships located primarily in the United States and Canada as of July 2, 2005, a significant percentage of our sales are concentrated among a relatively small number of independent dealers.  For the quarter ended July 2, 2005, sales to one dealer, Lazy Days RV Center, accounted for 11.1% of total sales compared to 10.3% of sales in the same period ended last year.  For quarters ended July 3, 2004 and July 2, 2005, sales to our 10 largest dealers, including Lazy Days RV Center, accounted for a total of 40.0% and 41.7% of total sales, respectively.  The loss of a significant dealer or a substantial decrease in sales by any of these dealers could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

WE MAY HAVE TO REPURCHASE A DEALER’S INVENTORY OF OUR PRODUCTS IN THE EVENT THAT THE DEALER DOES NOT REPAY ITS LENDER.  As is common in the recreational vehicle industry, we enter into repurchase agreements with the financing institutions used by our dealers to finance their purchases of our products.  These agreements require us to repurchase the dealer’s inventory in the event that the dealer does not repay its lender.  Obligations under these agreements vary from period to period, but totaled approximately $531.8 million as of July 2, 2005, with approximately 6.0% concentrated with one dealer.  If we were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCE IS SUBJECT TO CONCENTRATION RISK.  We sell our product to dealers who are predominantly located in the United States and Canada.  The terms and conditions of payment are a combination of open trade receivables, and commitments from dealer floor plan lending institutions.    For our RV dealers, terms are net 30 days for units that are financed by a third party lender.  Open trade receivables are granted by us, on a very limited basis, to dealers who have been subjected to evaluative credit processes conducted by us.  Terms vary from net 30 days to net 180 days, depending on the specific agreement.  As of July 2, 2005, total trade receivables were $105.5 million, with approximately $89.0 million, or 84.4% of the outstanding accounts receivable balance concentrated among floor plan lenders. The remaining $16.5 million of open trade receivables were concentrated substantially all with one dealer.  For resort lot customers, funds are required at the time of closing.

 

24



 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS DUE TO AN INCREASE IN THE PRICE OR A DECREASE IN THE SUPPLY OF FUEL.  An interruption in the supply, or a significant increase in the price or tax on the sale, of diesel fuel or gasoline on a regional or national basis could significantly affect our business.  Diesel fuel and gasoline have, at various times in the past, been either expensive or difficult to obtain, and prices of these commodities are currently at high levels on an historical basis.

 

WE DEPEND ON SINGLE OR LIMITED SOURCES TO PROVIDE US WITH CERTAIN IMPORTANT COMPONENTS THAT WE USE IN THE PRODUCTION OF OUR PRODUCTS.  A number of important components for our products are purchased from a single or a limited number of sources. These include turbo diesel engines (Cummins and Caterpillar), substantially all of our transmissions (Allison), axles (Dana) for all diesel motor coaches, and chassis (Workhorse and Ford) for gas motor coaches.  We have no long-term supply contracts with these suppliers or their distributors, and we cannot be certain that these suppliers will be able to meet our future requirements.  Consequently, the Company has periodically been placed on allocation of these and other key components.  The last significant allocations occurred in 1997 from Allison, and in 1999 from Ford.  An extended delay or interruption in the supply of any components that we obtain from a single supplier or from a limited number of suppliers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

OUR INDUSTRY IS VERY COMPETITIVE.  WE MUST CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE NEW MODELS AND NEW FEATURES TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.  The market for our products is very competitive.  We currently compete with a number of manufacturers of motor coaches, fifth wheel trailers, and travel trailers.  Some of these companies have greater financial resources than we have and extensive distribution networks.  These companies, or new competitors in the industry, may develop products that customers in the industry prefer over our products.

 

We believe that the introduction of new products and new features is critical to our success.  Delays in the introduction of new models or product features, quality problems associated with these introductions, or a lack of market acceptance of new models or features could affect us adversely.  Unexpected costs associated with model changes have affected our gross margin in the past.  Further, new product introductions can divert revenues from existing models and result in fewer sales of existing products.

 

OUR PRODUCTS COULD FAIL TO PERFORM ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS OR PROVE TO BE UNRELIABLE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO OUR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS AND OUR REPUTATION AND RESULTING IN LOSS OF SALES.  Our customers require demanding specifications for product performance and reliability.  Because our products are complex and often use advanced components, processes and techniques, undetected errors and design flaws may occur.  Product defects result in higher product service and warranty and replacement costs and may cause serious damage to our customer relationships and industry reputation, all of which could negatively affect our sales and business.

 

OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS TYPES OF LITIGATION, INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITY AND WARRANTY CLAIMS.  We are subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, typically for product liability and warranty claims that are common in the recreational vehicle industry.  While we do not believe that the outcome of any pending litigation, net of insurance coverage, will materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition, we cannot provide assurances in this regard because litigation is an inherently uncertain process.*

 

To date, we have been successful in obtaining product liability insurance on terms that we consider acceptable.  The terms of the policy contain a self-insured retention amount of $500,000 per occurrence, with a maximum annual aggregate self-insured retention of $3.0 million.  Overall product liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, is available to a maximum amount of $100.0 million for each occurrence, as well as in the aggregate.  We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future at acceptable levels or that the costs of such insurance will be reasonable.  Further, successful assertion against us of one or a series of large uninsured claims, or of a series of claims exceeding our insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY EMPLOYEES, DELAYING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING.  Our success depends in part upon attracting and retaining highly skilled professionals.  A number of our employees are highly skilled engineers and other technical professionals, and our failure to continue to attract and retain such individuals could adversely affect our ability to compete in the industry.

OUR RECENT GROWTH HAS PUT PRESSURE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF OUR OPERATING, FINANCIAL, AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS.  In the past few years, we have significantly expanded the size and scope of our business, which has required us to hire additional employees.  Some of these new employees include new management personnel.  In addition, our current management personnel have assumed additional responsibilities.   The increase in our size over a relatively short period of time has put pressure on our operating, financial, and management information systems.  If we continue to expand, such growth would put additional pressure on these systems and may cause such systems to malfunction or to experience significant delays.

 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT AUTOMATION PLAN.  As we continue to work towards involving automated machinery and equipment to improve efficiencies and quality, we will be subject to certain risks involving implementing new technologies into our facilities.

 

The expansion into new machinery and equipment technologies involves risks, including the following:

 

                  We must rely on timely performance by contractors, subcontractors, and government agencies, whose performance we may be unable to control.

 

                  The development of new processes involves costs associated with new machinery, training of employees, and compliance with environmental, health, and other government regulations.

 

                  The newly developed products may not be successful in the marketplace.

 

                  We may be unable to complete a planned machinery and equipment implementation in a timely manner, which could result in lower production levels and an inability to satisfy customer demand for our products.

 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM (ERP) IMPLEMENTATION.  We are implementing a new ERP system which is subject to certain risks including the following:

 

                  We must rely on timely performance by contractors whose performance we may be unable to control.

 

                  The implementation could result in significant and unexpected increases in our operating expenses and capital expenditures, particularly if the project takes longer than we expect.

 

                  The project could complicate and prolong our internal data gathering and analysis processes.

 

                  It could require us to restructure or develop our internal processes to adapt to the new system.

 

                  We could require extended work hours from our employees and use temporary outside resources, resulting in increased expenses, to resolve any software configuration issues or to process transactions manually until issues are resolved.

 

                  As management focuses attention to the implementation, they could be diverted from other issues.

 

                  The project could disrupt our operations if the transition to the ERP system creates new or unexpected difficulties or if the system does not perform as expected.

 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN RELOCATING OUR BEND, OREGON MANUFACTURING FACILITY.  We recently announced that we will be closing our Bend, Oregon manufacturing plant and relocating those operations to our Coburg, Oregon plants.  This relocation will be subject to certain risks including the following:

 

                  As management focuses some of its attention on the relocation, they could be diverted from other issues.

 

                  We may not experience the efficiencies we expect due to difficulties with integrating new products into an existing production line.

 

26



 

                  We may experience difficulties in hiring an experienced workforce for the increased production in the Coburg, Oregon plant.

 

                  Our customers may react adversely to the relocation of the facilities and reduce orders for new coaches.

 

NEWLY ISSUED FINANCIAL REPORTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

EITF 04-10

 

In September of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the Board) issued EITF 04-10, “Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds.”  FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.  EITF addresses how to determine if operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds of FASB No. 131 are to be reported as separate segments.

 

The EITF Task Force has delayed the effective date of EITF 04-10 to coincide with a related FASB Staff Position to be issued in 2005.

 

We have determined that the provisions of EITF 04-10 will impact the disclosures to be included in future financial statements.

 

Amendment to FAS 128

 

The Board is amending FAS 128, “Earnings per Share,” to make it consistent with International Accounting Standards, and make earnings per share calculations comparable on a global basis.  The amendment changes the computation to require the use of the year-to-date average stock price when computing the number of potential incremental common shares for diluted EPS.  The old method was to calculate an average of potential incremental common shares computed for each quarter when computing year-to-date incremental shares.

 

The Board has deferred the issuance of the final standard until sometime in 2005.  When those standards are finalized, we will implement them and appropriately present them in our future financial statements.

 

FAS 151

 

In November 2004, the Board issued FAS 151, “Inventory Costs an amendment of ARM No. 43, Chapter 4,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material.  The standard is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

 

We have not yet determined if the provisions of the Statement will impact the Company’s financial statements.

 

FAS 123R

 

In December 2004, the Board issued FAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”  The Statement replaces FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  The Statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payments to employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.  The Statement is effective for public entities as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.

 

We will adopt the provisions of the Statement for the fiscal year beginning 2006.  If we had included the cost of the employee stock option compensation using the fair value method in our financial statements, our net income for the first two quarters of 2004 and 2005 would have been impacted by $421,000 and $454,000, respectively.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  Because of inherent limitations in any system of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company may be detected.  However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and have, pursuant to the evaluation discussed above, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
