NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - The provision or benefit for income taxes is calculated
using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate.
Note B - Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Options have not been included in the
computations because their effect would not be dilutive.
Note C - In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which
are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows have been included in these financial
statements.
Note D - The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of
annual results due to seasonality of the business.
Note E - Financial information contained herein is unaudited.
Note F - The Company is contingently liable to various financial
institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with wholesale
inventory financing. In general, inventory is repurchased by the
Company upon default by a dealer with a financing institution and then
resold through normal distribution channels. In addition, the Company
is contingently liable to financial institutions for letters of credit
which were established to satisfy the self-insured workers'
compensation regulations of the states in which the Company conducts
manufacturing operations.
Management does not expect that losses, if any, from the contingencies
described above will be of material importance to the financial
condition or earnings of the Company.
Note G - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income"; FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information"; FAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits"; FAS 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". Management does
not anticipate that the adoption of these standards will have a
significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the
Company.

KIT MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
FINANCIAL CONDITION - JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 1997
Under third quarter market conditions, the Company borrowed on its line
of credit to maintain its inventory levels to provide for anticipated
fourth quarter sales. The Company's working capital decreased $24,000 due
to the line of credit borrowings for inventory build-up. The current ratio
was 2.1:1 at July 31, 1998 compared to 2.0:1 at October 31, 1997.
The Company's liquidity position as reflected in the current ratio
described above, capital resources, including excess plant capacity,
working capital, and unused line of credit, are considered to be adequate
to provide for near term cash needs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO QUARTER
ENDED JULY 31, 1997
Total sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 were $15,328,000, a 26%
decrease from sales of $20,811,000 for the same quarter of the prior year.
The decrease consisted of an 11% increase in manufactured housing sales
and a 41% decrease in recreational vehicle (RV) sales. Manufactured
housing sales increased due to increased marketing efforts, more
competitive product pricing, and continued offerings of a wide range of
products. RV sales decreased due to the continued shift to sales of lower
priced entry level products and the closure of the Kansas RV plant in
April 1998.
Cost of sales decreased 31% from the same quarter of the prior year and
decreased 6% as a percent of sales due primarily to the decline in sales
volume. The resulting increase in gross profit margins compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 is chiefly attributed to the cost
containments associated with the successful introduction of the Company's
new RV models for the entry level market.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6% over the same
quarter of the prior year and increased 2% as a percent of sales. This was
due primarily to the continued planned reductions in marketing costs and
overhead costs.
Net interest expense for the current quarter was less than $1,000 compared
to net interest expense of $18,000 in the same quarter of the prior year.
This was a result of an increase in the average net short-term
investments.
The net income for the three months ended July 31, 1998 was $74,000, or
$0.07 per share, compared to net loss of $437,000, or $0.39 per share, for
the same quarter of the prior year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE
MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997
Total sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 were $45,979,000, a
24% decrease from sales of $60,534,000 for the same period of the prior
year. The decrease consisted of a 12% increase in manufactured housing
sales and a 38% decrease in recreational vehicle (RV) sales. Manufactured
housing sales increased due to increased marketing efforts, more
competitive product pricing, and continued offerings of a wide range of
products. RV sales decreased due to the continued shift to sales of lower
priced entry level products and the closure of the Kansas RV plant in
April 1998.
Cost of sales decreased 27% from the same nine months of the prior year
and decreased 3% as a percent of sales due primarily to the decline in
sales volume. The resulting increase in gross profit margins compared to
the prior year is chiefly attributed to the cost containments associated
with the successful introduction of the Company's new RV models for the
entry level market.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 28% over the same
nine months of the prior year and remained equivalent as a percent of
sales. This was due primarily to the continued planned reductions in
marketing costs and overhead costs.
Net interest income for the current nine months was $21,000 compared to
net interest expense of $86,000 in the same nine months of the prior year.
This was a result of an increase in the average net short-term investments
and lower average borrowing levels due to a decline in material purchases.
The net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 was $21,000, or $0.02
per share, compared to net loss of $1,496,000, or $1.35 per share, for the
same nine months of the prior year.
