DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Drew” or the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew’s wholly-owned active subsidiaries are Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Lippert”), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kinro”). Drew, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, manufactures a broad array of components for recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufactures components for mid-size buses, and specialty trailers and related axles.

The Company’s operations are somewhat seasonal, as sales in the second and third quarters are traditionally stronger than the first and fourth quarters, consistent with the industries which the Company supplies. However, because increases in RV dealer inventories caused industry production levels to increase in the first six months of 2010, seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

2.
Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments, the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment").

The RV Segment, which accounted for 84 percent and 76 percent of consolidated net sales for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

Towable steel chassis
 
Aluminum windows and screens
Towable axles and suspension solutions
 
Chassis components
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions
 
Furniture and mattresses
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products
 
Entry and baggage doors
Toy hauler ramp doors
 
Entry steps
Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer
 
Other accessories
and lifting systems
 
Specialty trailers for hauling boats, personal watercraft, snowmobiles and equipment

The Company also supplies certain of these products as replacement parts to the aftermarket. More than 90 percent of the Company’s RV Segment sales are of products used in travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, with the balance primarily comprised of components for motorhomes and mid-size buses, and sales of specialty trailers and axles for specialty trailers. Travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs accounted for 82 percent of all RVs shipped by the industry in the second quarter of 2010.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)

The MH Segment, which accounted for 16 percent and 24 percent of consolidated net sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes and to a lesser extent, modular housing and office units, including:

Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens
 
Steel chassis
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products
 
Steel chassis parts
Steel and fiberglass entry doors
 
Axles
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors
   

The Company also supplies windows, doors and thermoformed bath products as replacement parts to the aftermarket.

Sales of products other than components for RVs and manufactured homes are not considered significant. However, certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both manufactured homes and modular homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed. Intersegment sales are insignificant.

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, corporate expenses, goodwill impairment, other items and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of operating assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Acquisitions

Level-UpTM System

On February 18, 2010, the Company acquired the patent-pending design for a six-point leveling system for fifth-wheel RVs. The purchase price was $1.4 million, paid at closing from available cash, plus an earn-out. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations beginning February 18, 2010.

The acquisition of this business was recorded as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration
  $ 1,400  
Contingent consideration
    404  
Total fair value of consideration given
  $ 1,804  
         
Patents
  $ 1,157  
Other identifiable intangible assets
    180  
Total fair value of assets acquired
  $ 1,337  
         
Goodwill (tax deductible)
  $ 467  

The Company will pay an earn-out depending on future unit sales of the system in excess of pre-established hurdles over the next six years. The earn-out does not have a maximum; however, the Company estimated the aggregate earn-out payments will be $0.5 million to $1.0 million. The Company recorded a $0.4 million liability for the present value of the estimated earn-out payments, using internal sales projections as well as a weighted average cost of capital of 17.4 percent. Interest expense will be recorded over the term of the earn-out due to the accretion of the present value of the liability for the estimated earn-out payments. For further information on the liability for the estimated earn-out payments, see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Unaudited)

The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, as the Company anticipates an increase in the markets for the acquired product.

Wall Slide and Other RV Products

On March 16, 2010, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and other assets from Michigan-based Schwintek, Inc. The purchase included certain products for which patents are pending, consisting of an innovative RV wall slide-out mechanism, an aluminum cylinder for use in leveling devices for motorhomes, and a power roof lift for tent campers. The purchase price was $20.0 million, paid at closing from available cash, plus earn-outs. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations beginning March 16, 2010.

The acquisition of this business was recorded as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration
  $ 20,000

The Company will pay earn-outs depending on future unit sales of the acquired products in excess of pre-established hurdles over approximately the next five years. Two of the products have a maximum aggregate earn-out of $12.7 million, which the Company has assumed will be achieved. The remaining products do not have a maximum; however the Company estimated the aggregate earn-out payments will be $1.5 million to $2.0 million for these products. The Company recorded a $9.9 million liability for the present value of the estimated earn-out payments using internal sales projections as well as a weighted average cost of capital of 17.2 percent. Interest expense will be recorded over the term of the earn-out due to the accretion of the present value of the liability for the estimated earn-out payments. The patents will be amortized over their estimated useful life of 13 years.  For further information on the liability for the estimated earn-out payments, see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, as the Company anticipates an increase in the markets for the acquired products, market share growth in both existing and new markets, as well as attainment of synergies.

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The impairment tests are based on fair value, determined using discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. No impairment tests were performed during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

During the first quarter of 2009, because the Company’s stock price on the New York Stock Exchange was below its book value, and due to the continued declines in industry-wide wholesale shipments of RVs and manufactured homes, the Company conducted an impairment analysis of the goodwill of each of its reporting units, resulting in the impairment and non-cash write-off of the entire $45.0 million of goodwill. The impairment analysis of goodwill conducted during the first quarter of 2009 was completed using Level 3 fair value inputs.

The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated with a discounted cash flow model utilizing internal forecasts and observable market data, to the extent available, to estimate future cash flows. The forecast included an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on management’s most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit.

At March 31, 2009, the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model prepared for the goodwill impairment analysis was 16.5 percent, derived by applying the weighted average cost of capital model which weights the cost of debt and equity financing. The Company also considered the relationship of debt to equity of other companies similar to the respective reporting units, as well as the risks and uncertainty inherent in the markets generally and in the Company’s internally developed forecasts.
 
Based on the analyses, the carrying value of the RV and manufactured housing reporting units exceeded their fair value. As a result, the Company performed the second step of the impairment test, which required the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including all of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets of each reporting unit, excluding goodwill. The results of the second step implied that the fair value of goodwill was zero; therefore, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge to write-off the entire $45.0 million of goodwill of these reporting units.

The non-cash goodwill impairment charge was largely the result of uncertainties in the economy, and in the RV and manufactured housing industries, as well as the 16.5 percent discount rate used to determine the present value of projected cash flows. Estimating the fair value of reporting units, and the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, involves the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and market data. Actual results may differ from forecasted results.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $4.1 million of other intangible assets related to its marine and leisure operation, which sells trailers and related trailer axles for small and medium-sized boats. Over the last few years, industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats have declined significantly. Throughout this period, the Company has conducted an impairment analysis on these operations, however the fair value of these operations continues to exceed the corresponding book values, thus no impairment has been recorded. However, a continued downturn in industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats, or in the profitability of the Company’s operations, could result in a non-cash impairment charge for the related other intangible assets in the future.

Long-Term Indebtedness

The Company had no debt at June 30, 2010. Long-term indebtedness consists of the following at June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

real estate and equipment
  $ 1,188

    388  
Total long-term indebtedness
  $ 800  

The weighted average interest rate for the Company’s indebtedness was 3.21 percent at June 30, 2009. The indebtedness was fully paid during the third quarter of 2009.

On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at June 30, 2010 and 2009), or LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at June 30, 2010 and 2009) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires December 1, 2011. At June 30, 2010, the Company had availability of $43.7 million as there were $6.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $125.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. The “shelf-loan” facility expires November 25, 2011. In June 2009, the Company paid in full the remaining outstanding Senior Promissory Notes before their scheduled maturity date.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined; provided however, that if the Company’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA is less than $50 million, the maximum leverage ratio covenant declines to 1.25 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s trailing twelve month EBITDA exceeded $50 million, and as a result, the maximum leverage ratio covenant in both the line of credit and “shelf-loan” facilities was 2.5 times the trailing twelve month EBITDA. At June 30, 2010, the maximum leverage ratio debt covenant limits the remaining availability under these facilities to $158.0 million. The $58.1 million in cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2010, together with the borrowing availability under the line of credit and “shelf-loan” facility, are more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and no borrowings under these facilities are expected.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Senior Promissory Notes, the Company is required to maintain minimum net worth, interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

7.
Stockholders’ Equity

On November 29, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 447,400 shares were repurchased in 2008 at an average price of $18.58 per share, or $8.3 million in total. The aggregate cost of repurchases was funded from the Company’s available cash. While the Company has not repurchased shares since August 2008, the number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price, and other factors.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

There were no material developments during the first six months of 2010 in connection with the legal proceeding pending at December 31, 2009. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  There were no new material legal proceedings during the first six months of 2010.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the 2007 acquisitions of Trailair and Equa-Flex, the Company could pay an earn-out of up to $2.6 million, plus interest at 3 percent from the date of acquisition, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved by Lippert over the five years subsequent to the acquisition. In the aggregate, less than $0.1 million has been paid subsequent to the acquisition based on such sales targets. In accordance with the accounting guidance in effect at the time, the Company did not record a liability for the fair value estimate of such earn-out payments, but rather these payments are recorded directly to goodwill.

In connection with the 2009 acquisitions of the QuickBiteTM coupler and the slide-out storage box for pick-up trucks, as well as the 2010 acquisitions of the Level-UpTM six-point leveling system, and certain intellectual property and other assets from Schwintek, Inc., the Company could pay earn-outs if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved. The Company has recorded a liability for the present value of these estimated earn-out payments at June 30, 2010 using a weighted average cost of capital of 17.2 percent.  The following is as of June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The liability for these estimated earn-out payments was re-evaluated at June 30, 2010, considering the sales of the acquired products since they were acquired, as well as the revised sales projections. The adjustment to the liability for the estimated earn-out payments during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was not significant. However, depending upon the future success of the products which are subject to earn-outs, the Company could record an adjustment in future periods.

Facilities Consolidation

In response to the slowdowns in both the RV and manufactured housing industries, over the past few years the Company has consolidated the operations previously conducted at more than 35 facilities and reduced staff levels. The related severance and operational relocation costs incurred by the Company in the first six months of 2010 and 2009 were not significant. The Company operated 24 facilities at June 30, 2010, and is continuing to explore additional facility consolidation opportunities.

At June 30, 2010, the Company was in the process of selling five owned facilities and vacant land with an aggregate carrying value of $3.2 million, which are not being used in production. In addition, the Company has leased to third parties four owned facilities with a combined carrying amount of $9.0 million, for one to five year terms, for a combined rental income of $78,000 per month. Each of these four leases also contains an option for the lessee to purchase the facility at an amount in excess of carrying value. As of June 30, 2010, all of these owned facilities are classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet since it is not probable that these assets will be sold within one year due to uncertainty in the real estate markets. In addition to the owned facilities, the Company is attempting to sublease four vacant facilities which it leases.

To reflect the net losses and gains on sold facilities, and the write-downs to estimated fair value of facilities to be sold or subleased, the Company recorded net losses of $0.2 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company 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, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, notes receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, earn-out payments, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

9.
Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance establishes a framework that requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

The valuation techniques required are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The accounting guidance requires the following fair value hierarchy:
 
·
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 
·
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation.

 
·
Level 3 – Values determined by models, significant inputs to which are unobservable and are primarily based on internally derived assumptions regarding the timing and amount of expected cash flows.

            Long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, may be measured at fair value if such assets are held for sale or if there is a determination that the asset is impaired. The determination of fair value is based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate, quoted market prices when available, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company completed two business combinations by which it acquired $31.7 million of assets, paid $21.4 million in cash, and agreed to potential future earn-out payments, originally estimated to be $10.3 million. The Company also completed two business combinations in 2009 with potential future earn-out payments. The Company used Level 3 inputs to value the assets associated with these business combinations, as well as to update the fair value of the potential future earn-out payments. See Notes 3 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first six months of 2010 and 2009, the Company reviewed the recoverability of vacant facilities and land using broker quotes and management’s estimates, which are Level 3 inputs. As a result, impairment charges of $0.2 million and $2.1 million were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, on such properties, of which $0.9 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2009. The carrying value of these properties was $12.2 million at June 30, 2010. See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company used Level 3 inputs to conduct an impairment analysis of the goodwill of each of its reporting units, resulting in the impairment and non-cash write-off of the entire $45.0 million of goodwill at March 31, 2009. See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

10.
New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated standards related to additional requirements and guidance regarding disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures, including the reasons for and amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of activity for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also clarifies guidance related to determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and the information to be provided for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance with respect to significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 was effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this portion of the guidance had no impact on the Company. This guidance with respect to Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Report.

The Company has two reportable segments, the recreational vehicle (“RV”) products segment (the “RV Segment”) and the manufactured housing products segment (the “MH Segment”). The Company’s operations are conducted through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”) and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”). Each has operations in both the RV and MH Segments. At June 30, 2010, the Company operated 24 plants in the United States.

The RV Segment accounted for 84 percent of consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 79 percent of the annual consolidated net sales for 2009. The RV Segment manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

Towable steel chassis
 
Aluminum windows and screens
Towable axles and suspension solutions
 
Chassis components
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions
 
Furniture and mattresses
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products
 
Entry and baggage doors
Toy hauler ramp doors
 
Entry steps
Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer
 
Other accessories
and lifting systems
 
Specialty trailers for hauling boats, personal watercraft, snowmobiles and equipment

The Company also supplies certain of these products as replacement parts to the aftermarket. More than 90 percent of the Company’s RV Segment sales are of products used in travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs. The balance represents sales of components for motorhomes and mid-size buses, and sales of specialty trailers and axles for specialty trailers. Travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs accounted for 83 percent and 78 percent of all RVs shipped by the industry in 2009 and 2008, respectively, up from 61 percent in 2001.

The MH Segment, which accounted for 16 percent of consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 21 percent of the annual consolidated net sales for 2009, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes and to a lesser extent, modular housing and office units, including:

Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens
 
Steel chassis
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products
 
Steel chassis parts
Steel and fiberglass entry doors
 
Axles
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors
   

The Company also supplies windows, doors, and thermoformed bath products as replacement parts to the aftermarket.

Sales of products other than components for RVs and manufactured homes are not considered significant. However, certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both manufactured homes and modular homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed. Intersegment sales are insignificant.

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED
 ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

           The Company’s operations are somewhat seasonal, as sales in the second and third quarters are traditionally stronger than the first and fourth quarters, consistent with the industries which the Company supplies. However, because increases in RV dealer inventories caused industry production levels to increase in the first six months of 2010, seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

BACKGROUND

Recreational Vehicle Industry

An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers). 

During 2008, and continuing into 2009, retail sales of RVs declined because of severe economic conditions, including low consumer confidence, limited credit availability for both dealers and consumers, and continued weakness in the real estate and mortgage markets. As a result, during 2008 and the first eight months of 2009, RV dealers reduced their inventory of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs by an estimated 75,000 units, and RV manufacturers significantly reduced their output, which reduced sales by the Company of components for new RVs. Since August 2009, industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs increased, in part because dealers added over 30,000 units to their inventories between September 2009 and March 2010.

Retail sales statistics, which for the first time includes retail sales in Canada for all periods, reflect that retail sales of travel trailer and 5th wheels RVs were up 15 percent from March 2010 through May 2010. As a result of this strong retail sell-through, it is estimated that dealer inventories declined somewhat in both April and May, providing evidence that the current levels of wholesale production are supported by retail sales. Retail demand is the key to a sustained recovery, and although retail demand has improved in 2010, there are still uncertainties regarding future retail demand due to high unemployment, tight credit, low consumer confidence and a weak economy.

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV markets, increased 88 percent to 111,600 units for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, in part due to the inventory build by dealers. The RVIA has projected a 38 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs for all of 2010, to 190,600 units. This projection by the RVIA, prepared in early June 2010, implies that the industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs for the second half of 2010 will be 79,000 units, consistent with the same period in 2009, but lower than the first six months of 2010.

While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, it believes the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., for both the United States and Canada, is as follows:

In the long-term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be driven by positive demographics, as demand for RVs is strongest from the over 50 age group, which is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. U.S. Census Bureau projections released in December 2009 project that there will be 10 million more people over the age of 50 by 2015.

In 1997, the RVIA began a generic advertising campaign promoting the RV lifestyle. The current phase is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented vacations, and using RVs as second homes, also appear to motivate consumer demand for RVs.

Manufactured Housing Industry

Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory on permanent steel undercarriages or chassis, transported to a manufactured housing dealer which sells and transports the home to the buyer’s home site. The manufactured home is installed pursuant to a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally regulated national building code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured homes and must be built to local, state or regional building codes. A manufactured home may be sited on owned or leased land.

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported that for the full year 2009, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 49,700 units, a decline of 39 percent compared to the full year 2008. However, estimates are that in 2009, manufactured housing dealers reduced inventory by approximately 10,000 units, implying that retail demand in 2009 was higher than wholesale shipments. For the first six months of 2010, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 26,400 units, an increase of 8 percent compared to the first six months of 2009, including a 17 percent increase in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in the first six months of 2010 was apparently partially due to the now-expired tax credit for first-time home buyers.

Since 1998, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes have declined 86 percent. This decade-plus decline was primarily the result of limited credit availability because of high credit standards applied to purchases of manufactured homes, high down payment requirements, and high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes. In addition, in the several years leading up to 2008, many traditional buyers of manufactured homes were able to purchase site-built homes instead of manufactured homes, as subprime mortgages were readily available at unrealistic terms.

(Continued)

For the 20 years prior to the sub-prime boom in home financing, manufactured housing wholesale shipments represented 20 percent or more of single family housing starts. During the sub-prime years, 2003 to 2007, when extremely low cost loans were available for financing site-built homes, manufactured housing’s share of the single family market dropped precipitously, to well below 10 percent. Since the sub-prime “bubble” burst in 2007 and 2008, this market share has increased somewhat, to about 12 percent, despite that interest rates for manufactured home loans remain historically high relative to rates for site-built home loans. Accordingly, the Company believes the manufactured housing industry may begin to experience a modest recovery when the economy improves and home buyers begin to look for affordable housing. However, because of the current real estate and economic environment, fluctuating consumer confidence, and tight retail and wholesale credit markets, the Company expects industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes to remain low for at least the balance of 2010. There are no industry forecasts for the manufactured housing industry.

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“SAFE Act”) was signed into law in July, 2008. The SAFE Act is intended to establish minimum state standards for licensing and registration of mortgage lenders, brokers and originators. According to the RVIA and the Manufactured Housing Institute, this legislation, when fully implemented, could make loans for RVs and manufactured homes more difficult to obtain, resulting in fewer retail sales.

The Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing may be positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the homes, (ii) the favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence and purchase a manufactured home, and (iv) the unavailability of subprime mortgages for site-built homes.

During the six and three month periods ended June 30 2009, the Company recorded $6.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of “extra” expenses resulting primarily from plant closings, staff reductions, increased bad debts, and obsolete inventory and tooling. These expenses were largely due to the unprecedented conditions in the RV and manufactured housing industries at that time. In addition, the Company recorded $45 million of charges for goodwill impairment during the first quarter of 2009. The Company did not incur “extra” expenses in the first six months of 2010.

Consolidated Highlights

 
§
Net sales in the 2010 second quarter were $174 million, an increase of 73 percent from the $101 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2009. This sales increase was largely the result of an 80 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, and a 17 percent increase in industry-wide production of manufactured homes. In addition, primarily as a result of new products, market share gains, and recent acquisitions, the Company’s product content for travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs in the 2010 second quarter increased substantially compared to the same period in 2009.

The Company’s operations are somewhat seasonal, as sales in the second and third quarters are traditionally stronger than the first and fourth quarters, consistent with the industries which the Company supplies. However, because increases in RV dealer inventories caused industry production levels to increase in the first six months of 2010, seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

The Company’s net sales for the month of July 2010 were $47 million, a 23 percent increase from the month of July 2009. Compared to the second quarter, sales in July typically decline temporarily due to the annual one-week plant closures around July 4th by many RV manufacturers.

§
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of $9.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2009. The 2009 second quarter included $0.7 million ($0.03 per diluted share) of “extra” expenses, net of taxes, primarily due to plant consolidations related to unprecedented conditions in the RV and manufactured housing industries during that period.

 
§
On March 16, 2010, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and other assets from Michigan-based Schwintek, Inc. The purchase included certain products for which patents are pending, consisting of an innovative RV wall slide-out mechanism, an aluminum cylinder for use in leveling devices for motorhomes, and a new power roof lift for tent campers. The purchase price was $20.0 million paid at closing from available cash, plus earn-outs depending on future unit sales of these products in excess of pre-established hurdles over approximately the next five years.

 
§
Compared to the first quarter of 2010, higher raw material costs added approximately $1.5 million to cost of sales in the second quarter of 2010. Steel, aluminum and ABS resin prices increased as much as 50 percent during the first part of 2010, depending on the type of commodity. However, beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2010, the cost of certain raw materials have declined, although, depending upon the type of commodity, still remaining higher than during the fourth quarter of 2009. For those products using raw materials the costs of which have risen on a longer-term basis, the Company has implemented sales price increases. Further, the adverse impact of the higher-cost raw materials is expected to diminish as lower-cost raw materials begin to flow through cost of sales later in the third quarter of 2010.

While the Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases, there can be no assurance that future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers. The Company also continues to explore improved product design, efficiency improvements, and alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestic and imported.

 
§
Operating profit in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, benefited from net fixed cost reductions of approximately $1 million. While the Company remains focused on controlling costs, due to the rise in demand, annualized fixed costs were recently increased by approximately $1 million for additional salaried staff and increased capacity. The Company does not expect additional significant changes in fixed costs for the balance of 2010.

RV Segment – Second Quarter

Net sales of the RV Segment in the second quarter of 2010 increased 83 percent, or $65 million, compared to the second quarter of 2009, largely due to the 80 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as well as new product introductions and market share gains.

The trend in the Company’s average product content per RV produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new RVs. Content per RV is also impacted by changes in selling prices for the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per type of RV, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of  components for the different types of RVs produced for the twelve months ended June 30, divided by the industry-wide wholesale shipments of the different types of RVs for the twelve months ended June 30, was approximately:

All RVs
    229,000       147,200       56 %

The Company’s RV Segment sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket were approximately $7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $2 million from the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The Company is increasing its effort to gain market share in sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, an improvement of $8.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase in operating profit was largely due to the $65 million increase in sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs and $2 million of excess production costs incurred as a result of greater than anticipated increases in demand in certain product lines.

The operating margin of the RV Segment in the second quarter of 2010 was positively impacted by:
 
·
The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a larger sales base.
 
·
Lower health insurance costs and bad debt expense.
 
·
Implementation of cost-cutting measures.
Partially offset by:
 
·
Volatile raw material costs. Steel, aluminum and ABS resin prices increased as much as 50 percent during the first part of 2010, depending on the type of commodity.

·
Higher incentive compensation and retirement costs. In the first and second quarter of 2009, there was no incentive compensation recorded due to the year-to-date operating loss.
 
At June 30, 2010, the Company had $4.1 million of other intangible assets related to its marine and leisure operation, which sells trailers and related axles for small and medium sized boats. Over the last few years, industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats have declined significantly. Throughout this period, the Company has conducted an impairment analysis on these operations, however the fair value of these operations continues to exceed the corresponding book values, thus no impairment has been recorded. However, a continued downturn in industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats, or in the profitability of the Company’s operations, could result in a non-cash impairment charge for the related other intangible assets in the future.

RV Segment – Year to Date

Net sales of the RV Segment in the first six months of 2010 increased 105 percent, or $137 million, compared to the same period of 2009, largely due to the 88 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as well as new product introductions and market share gains.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $27.0 million in the first six months of 2010, an improvement of $27.7 million compared to the same period of 2009, largely due to the $137 million increase in sales. The Company incurred $3.0 million of “extra” expenses in the first quarter of 2009 related to plant closings, staff reductions, increased bad debts, and obsolete inventory and tooling, largely due to the unprecedented conditions in the RV industry at that time. Excluding these “extra” expenses, the Company’s RV Segment operating profit increased $24.7 million from the same period last year. This adjusted increase in RV Segment operating profit was 18 percent of the increase in net sales, consistent with the percentage increase that the Company would typically expect.
 
The operating margin of the RV Segment in the first six months of 2010 was positively impacted by:
 
·
The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a larger sales base.
 
·
Lower health insurance and warranty costs and bad debt expense.
 
·
Improved operating efficiencies in certain product lines due to the increase in sales, partially offset by higher overtime costs.
 
·
Implementation of cost-cutting measures.
 
·
Volatile raw material costs. While lower than during the first six months of 2009, raw material costs were higher than during the fourth quarter of 2009. Steel, aluminum and ABS resin prices increased as much as 50 percent during the first part of 2010, depending on the type of commodity. However, beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2010, the cost of certain raw materials began to decline although, depending upon the type of commodity, still remaining higher than during the fourth quarter of 2009.

·
Higher incentive compensation and retirement costs. In the first six months of 2009, there was no incentive compensation recorded due to the operating loss.

MH Segment – Second Quarter

Net sales of the MH Segment in the second quarter of 2010 increased 35 percent, or $8 million, from the second quarter of 2009, significantly better than the 17 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, largely as a result of increased sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket, new products, and market share gains, partially offset by customer mix.

The Company’s MH Segment sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket for the millions of existing manufactured homes, primarily comprised of windows, doors and thermoformed bath products, were approximately $15 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 35 percent from the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The Company is increasing its efforts to gain market share in sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket.

The trend in the Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes, which typically contain more of the Company’s products. Content per manufactured home and content per floor is also impacted by changes in selling prices for the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components for manufactured homes produced for the twelve months ended June 30, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the twelve months ended June 30, was approximately:

Net sales of the MH Segment for the first six months of 2010 increased 26 percent, or $11 million, from the same period of 2009, significantly better than the 8 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, largely as a result of new products, market share gains and increased sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket, partially offset by customer mix.

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $5.3 million in the first six months of 2010, an improvement of $5.9 million compared to the same period of 2009, largely due to the $11 million increase in net sales, cost reductions and improved operating efficiencies. In addition, the Company had $0.7 million of “extra” expenses in the first six months of 2009 related to plant closings, staff reductions, increased bad debts and obsolete inventory, largely due to the unprecedented conditions in the manufactured housing industry at that time.

The operating margin of the MH Segment in the first six months of 2010 was positively impacted by:
 
·
Lower health insurance costs and bad debt expense.
 
·
The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a larger sales base.
 
·
Improved operating efficiencies due to the increase in sales.
 
·
Implementation of cost-cutting measures.
 
·
Volatile raw material costs. While lower than during the first six months of 2009, raw material costs were higher than during the fourth quarter of 2009. Steel, aluminum and ABS resin prices increased as much as 50 percent during the first part of 2010, depending on the type of commodity. However, beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2010, the cost of certain raw materials began to decline although, depending upon the type of commodity, still remaining higher than during the fourth quarter of 2009. For those products using raw materials the costs of which have risen on a longer-term basis, the Company has implemented sales price increases. Further, the adverse impact of the higher-cost raw materials is expected to diminish as lower-cost raw materials begin to flow through cost of sales later in the third quarter of 2010.
Partially offset by:
 
·
Higher incentive compensation and retirement costs. In the first six months of 2009, there was no incentive compensation recorded due to the operating loss.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2010 and the second quarter of 2010 increased $0.8 million and $0.4 as compared to comparable periods in 2009, respectively, due primarily to an increase in performance-based compensation as a result of higher profits.

Goodwill Impairment

During the first quarter of 2009, because the Company’s stock price on the New York Stock Exchange was below its book value, and due to the continued declines in industry-wide wholesale shipments of RVs and manufactured homes, the Company conducted an impairment analysis of the goodwill of each of its reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated with a discounted cash flow model utilizing internal forecasts and observable market data, to the extent available, to estimate future cash flows, and the Company’s weighted average cost of capital of 16.5 percent. The forecast included an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on management’s most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit.

(Continued)

Based on the analyses, the carrying value of the RV and manufactured housing reporting units exceeded their fair value. As a result, the Company performed the second step of the impairment test, which required the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including all of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets of each reporting unit, excluding goodwill. The results of the second step implied that the fair value of goodwill was zero; therefore during the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge to write-off the entire $45.0 million of goodwill of these reporting units.

Taxes

The tax rate for the first six months of 2010 was 39.5 percent, higher than the 38.5 percent rate for all of 2009, excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment charge, due to tax reserve adjustments, partially offset by the benefit of federal and state tax credits. The full year 2010 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 38 percent to 40 percent.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010 was $0.2 million higher than the comparable periods in 2009, due to imputed interest on the present value of the liability for estimated earn-out payments, partially offset by higher interest income. Interest expense for the full year 2010 is expected to be approximately $2 million, comprised of $1.6 million for the accretion of the present value of the liability for the estimated earn-out payments for acquisitions, and approximately $0.3 million for fees on the Company’s line of credit. Despite more than $50 million of cash and investments, interest income in 2010 is not expected to be significant, due to anticipated low interest rates and the Company’s policy of investing in only extremely safe investments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities in the first six months of 2010 of $17.7 million were $8.6 million lower than the $26.3 million in the first six months of 2009 as a result of:

- A $14.5 million greater seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first six months of 2010, compared to the comparable period of 2009, due to a significant increase in sales in June 2010 as compared to June 2009. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 20 days sales outstanding at June 30, 2010.
- A $12.0 million increase in inventories in the first six months of 2010, compared to a $35.3 million decrease in the first six months of 2009. During 2009, the Company reduced inventory through consumption of higher priced inventory on hand, and reduced inventory purchases. Inventory balances at June 30, 2010 were only 18 percent higher than at June 30, 2009, despite the 73 percent increase in sales in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009, largely due to continued efforts to increase inventory turnover, which reached approximately 7 turns.
Partially offset by:
- An increase in after-tax operating results in the first six months of 2010.
- A $32.9 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the first six months of 2010, compared to a decrease of $3.5 million in the first six months of 2009, due largely to the timing of payments for inventory purchases. Accounts payable at June 30, 2009 was lower than at June 30, 2010, primarily due to significantly reduced purchases during the first six months of 2009 in an effort to decrease inventories. In addition, accrued liabilities and taxes payable increased in 2010 due to the increase in sales, production and earnings.

Depreciation and amortization was $8.5 million in the first six months of 2010, and is expected to aggregate $17 million for the full year. Non-cash stock-based compensation was $1.8 million in the first six months of 2010, and is expected to be $4 million to $5 million for the full year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities of $23.1 million in the first six months of 2010 included acquisitions of businesses of $21.4 million and capital expenditures of $4.5 million, both of which were financed from available cash. The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $10 million to $12 million in 2010, higher than earlier estimates due primarily to planned investments to expand production capacity, and are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations.

During the first six months of 2010, the Company purchased $13.0 million of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills not classified as cash equivalents, and received $15.0 million from the maturity of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills not classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s priorities for its cash are liquidity and security. The Company has chosen to invest in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills primarily due to the high levels of security and liquidity provided by these instruments.

At June 30, 2010, the Company was in the process of selling five owned facilities and vacant land with an aggregate carrying value of $3.2 million, which are not being used in production. In addition, the Company has leased to third parties four owned facilities with a combined carrying amount of $9.0 million, for one to five year terms, for a combined rental income of $78,000 per month. Each of these four leases also contains an option for the lessee to purchase the facility at an amount in excess of carrying value. In addition to the owned facilities, the Company is attempting to sublease four vacant facilities which it leases.

On March 16, 2010, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and other assets from Michigan-based Schwintek, Inc. The purchase included certain products for which patents are pending, consisting of an innovative RV wall slide-out mechanism, an aluminum cylinder for use in leveling devices for motorhomes, and a power roof lift for tent campers. The purchase price was $20.0 million paid at closing from available cash, plus earn-outs depending on future unit sales of these products in excess of pre-established hurdles over approximately the next five years. At June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a $10.3 million liability for the present value of the estimated earn-out payments.

On February 18, 2010, the Company acquired the patent-pending design for a six-point leveling system for fifth-wheel RVs. The purchase price was $1.4 million paid at closing from available cash, plus an earn-out depending on future unit sales of the system in excess of pre-established hurdles over the next six years. At June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a $0.9 million liability for the present value of the estimated earn-out payments.

Cash flows used for investing activities of $2.7 million in the first six months of 2009 included capital expenditures of $1.1 million, the purchase of $2.0 million of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and the acquisition of the patents for the QuickBite CouplerTM, and other intellectual properties and assets. The minimum aggregate purchase price in the QuickBite acquisition was $0.5 million, of which $0.3 million was paid at closing and the balance was paid on May 15, 2010, plus an earn-out depending on future unit sales of the product. At June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a $0.9 million liability for the present value of the estimated earn-out payments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2010 were not significant. At June 30, 2010, the Company had no debt outstanding.

 ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

Cash flows used for financing activities for the first six months of 2009 of $7.4 million were primarily due to net debt payments.

On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at June 30, 2010), or LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at June 30, 2010) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires December 1, 2011. At June 30, 2010, the Company had availability of $43.7 million as there were $6.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $125.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. The “shelf-loan” facility expires November 25, 2011. In June 2009, the Company paid in full the remaining outstanding Senior Promissory Notes before their scheduled maturity date.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined; provided however, that if the Company’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA is less than $50 million, the maximum leverage ratio covenant declines to 1.25 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s trailing twelve month EBITDA exceeded $50 million, and as a result, the maximum leverage ratio covenant in both the line of credit and “shelf-loan” facilities was 2.5 times the trailing twelve month EBITDA. At June 30, 2010, the maximum leverage ratio debt covenant limits the remaining availability under these facilities to $158.0 million. The $58.1 million in cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2010, together with the borrowing availability under the line of credit and “shelf-loan” facility, are more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and no borrowings under these facilities are expected.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Senior Promissory Notes, the Company is required to maintain minimum net worth, interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

On November 29, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 447,400 shares were repurchased in 2008 at an average price of $18.58 per share, or $8.3 million in total. The aggregate cost of repurchases was funded from the Company’s available cash. While the Company has not repurchased shares since August 2008, the number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price, and other factors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123) to report complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns.

CONTINGENCIES

Additional information required by this item is included under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

INFLATION

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile, and after rising significantly during the first part of 2010, have recently moderated. The Company did not experience any significant increase in its labor costs in the first six months of 2010 related to inflation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated standards related to additional requirements and guidance regarding disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures, including the reasons for and amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of activity for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also clarifies guidance related to determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and the information to be provided for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance with respect to significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 was effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this portion of the guidance had no impact on the Company. This guidance with respect to Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company 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, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, notes receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, earn-outs payments, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, revenues, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this Form 10-Q, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel and steel-based components, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin), availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of manufactured homes and recreational vehicles (“RVs”), availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed manufactured homes and RVs, the disposition into the market by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), by sale or otherwise, of RVs or manufactured homes purchased by FEMA, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, sales declines in the RV or manufactured housing industries, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of RVs and manufactured homes, retention of significant customers, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, and the outcome of litigation. In addition, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence affect the retail sale of RVs and manufactured homes.

Item 3 –QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has historically been exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its financing activities. At June 30, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.

Item 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Company’s operations or the business environment in which it operates.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 
b)
Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Over the last few years, the internal controls at Lippert have been incrementally strengthened due both to the installation of enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) software and business process changes. In the last twelve months, the Company implemented certain significant functions of the ERP software and business process changes at Kinro. Implementation of additional functions of the ERP software and business process changes are planned at Kinro. The Company also anticipates that it will continue to implement additional functionalities of the ERP software at both Lippert and Kinro to further strengthen the Company’s internal control.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There were no material developments during the first six months of 2010 in connection with the legal proceeding pending at December 31, 2009. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There were no new material legal proceedings during the first six months of 2010.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

Item 1A – RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2010.
