Part I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Coachmen Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Indiana on December 31, 1964, as the successor to
a proprietorship established earlier that year. All references to the Company
include its wholly owned subsidiaries and divisions.
The Company is one of America's leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles
with well-known brand names including Coachmen(R), Georgie Boy(R),
Sportscoach(R), and Viking(R). Through its housing and building group, Coachmen
Industries also comprises one of the nation's largest producers of both
systems-built homes and commercial structures with its All American Homes(R),
Mod-U-Kraf(R), All American Building Systems(TM), and Miller Building
Systems(TM) products. Prodesign, LLC is a subsidiary that produces custom
composite and thermoformed plastic parts for numerous industries under the
Prodesign(R) brand. Coachmen Industries, Inc. is a publicly held company with
stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the COA ticker symbol.
The Company operates in two primary business segments, recreational vehicles and
housing and buildings (formerly modular housing and buildings). The Recreational
Vehicle ("RV") Segment manufactures and distributes Class A and Class C
motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, camping trailers and related parts
and supplies. The Housing and Building Segment manufactures and distributes
factory-built modules for residential and commercial buildings.
The Company's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are made
available free of charge through the Financial Information section of the
Company's Internet website (http://www.coachmen.com) as soon as practicable
after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE SEGMENT
PRODUCTS
The RV Segment consists of recreational vehicles and parts and supplies. This
group consists of five operating companies: Coachmen RV Company, LLC; Coachmen
RV Company of Georgia, LLC; Georgie Boy Manufacturing, LLC; Viking Recreational
Vehicles, LLC; and Prodesign, LLC (a producer of composite and plastic parts)
and two Company-owned retail dealerships located in Indiana and North Carolina.
The principal brand names for the RV group are Aurora(TM), Bellagio(TM),
Capri(TM), Captiva(TM), Cascade(TM), Catalina(R), Chaparral(TM), Cheyenne(TM),
Clipper(R), Coachmen(R), Concord(TM), Cross Country(R), Cruise Air(R), Cruise
Master(R), Epic(TM), Freedom by Coachmen(TM), Freelander by Coachmen(TM),
Georgie Boy(R), Landau(R), Legend(TM), Leprechaun(R), Mirada(TM), Oasis(TM),
Pursuit(R), Saga(TM), Santara(R), Shasta(R), Somerset Dream Catcher(TM), Spirit
of America(TM), Sportscoach(R), Velocity(TM) and Viking(R).
In January 2004, the Company entered into a long-term exclusive licensing
agreement with The Coleman Company, Inc. to design, produce and market a full
line of new Coleman(R) brand recreational vehicles. The initial product
offerings will be a line of camping trailers, beginning in the third quarter of
2004, with other product offerings to follow.
Recreational vehicles are either driven or towed and serve as temporary living
quarters for camping, travel and other leisure activities. Recreational vehicles
manufactured by the Company may be categorized as motorhomes, travel trailers or
camping trailers. A motorhome is a self-powered mobile dwelling built on a
special heavy-duty motor vehicle chassis. A travel trailer is a non-motorized
mobile dwelling designed to be towed behind another vehicle.
3
Camping trailers are smaller towed units constructed with sidewalls that may be
raised up and folded out.
The RV group currently produces recreational vehicles on an assembly line basis
in Indiana, Michigan, and Georgia. Components used in the manufacturing of
recreational vehicles are primarily purchased from outside sources. However, in
some cases (such as fiberglass products) where it is profitable for the RV group
to do so, or where it has experienced shortages of supplies, the RV group has
undertaken to manufacture its own components. The RV group depends on the
availability of chassis from a limited number of manufacturers. Occasionally,
chassis availability has limited the group's production (see Note 12 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the use of
converter pool agreements to purchase vehicle chassis).
Prodesign, LLC, located in Indiana, is a custom manufacturer of diversified
thermoformed and composite products for the automotive, marine, recreational
vehicle, medical and heavy truck industries.
MARKETING
Recreational vehicles are generally manufactured against orders received from RV
dealers, who are responsible for the retail sale of the product. These products
are marketed through approximately 700 independent dealers located in 48 states
and internationally and through the two Company-owned dealerships. Subject to
applicable laws, agreements with most of its dealers are cancelable on short
notice, provide for minimum inventory levels and establish sales territories. No
dealer accounts for 10% or more of the Company's net sales.
The RV group considers itself customer driven. Representatives from sales and
service regularly visit dealers in their regions, and respond to questions and
suggestions. Divisions host dealer advisory groups and conduct informative
dealer seminars and specialized training classes in areas such as sales and
service. Open forum meetings with owners are held at campouts, providing ongoing
focus group feedback for product improvements. Engineers and product development
team members are encouraged to travel and vacation in Company recreational
vehicles to gain a complete understanding and appreciation for the products.
As a result of these efforts, the RV group believes it has the ability to
respond promptly to changes in market conditions. Most of the manufacturing
facilities can be changed over to the assembly of other existing products in two
to six weeks. In addition, these facilities may be used for other types of light
manufacturing or assembly operations. This flexibility enables the RV group to
adjust its manufacturing capabilities in response to changes in demand for its
products.
Most dealers' purchases of RV's from the RV group are financed through
"floor plan" arrangements. Under these arrangements, a bank or other financial
institution agrees to lend the dealer all or most of the purchase price of its
recreational vehicle inventory, collateralized by a lien on such inventory. The
RV group generally executes repurchase agreements at the request of the
financing institution. These agreements typically provide that, for up to twelve
months after a unit is financed, the Company will repurchase a unit that has
been repossessed by the financing institution for the amount then due to the
financing institution. This is usually less than 100% of the dealer's cost. Risk
of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company's numerous
dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased
(see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Resulting mainly
from periodic business conditions negatively affecting the recreational vehicle
industry, the Company has previously experienced some losses under repurchase
agreements. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an accrual for estimated
losses under repurchase agreements. In addition, at December 31, 2003, the group
was contingently liable under guarantees to financial institutions of their
loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $4.6 million, an
increase of approximately $3.7 million from the $.9 million in guarantees at
December 31, 2002. The RV group does not finance retail consumer purchases of
its products, nor does it generally guarantee consumer financing.
4
BUSINESS FACTORS
Many recreational vehicles produced by the RV group require gasoline for their
operation. Gasoline has, at various times in the past, been difficult to obtain,
and there can be no assurance that the supply of gasoline will continue
uninterrupted, that rationing will not be imposed or that the price of, or tax
on, gasoline will not significantly increase in the future. Shortages of
gasoline and significant increases in gasoline prices have had a substantial
adverse effect on the demand for recreational vehicles in the past and could
have a material adverse effect on demand in the future.
Recreational vehicle businesses are dependent upon the availability and terms of
financing used by dealers and retail purchasers. Consequently, increases in
interest rates and the tightening of credit through governmental action,
economic conditions or other causes have adversely affected recreational vehicle
sales in the past and could do so in the future.
Recreational vehicles are high-cost discretionary consumer durables. In the
past, recreational vehicle sales have fluctuated in a generally direct
relationship to overall consumer confidence.
COMPETITION AND REGULATION
The RV industry is highly competitive, and the RV group has numerous competitors
and potential competitors in each of its classes of products, some of which have
greater financial and other resources than the Company. Initial capital
requirements for entry into the manufacture of recreational vehicles,
particularly towables, are comparatively small; however, codes, standards, and
safety requirements enacted in recent years may act as deterrents to potential
competitors.
The RV group's recreational vehicles generally compete at all price points
except the ultra high-end. The RV group strives to be a quality and value leader
in the RV industry. The RV group emphasizes a quality product and a strong
commitment to competitive pricing in the markets it serves. The RV group
estimates that its current overall share of the recreational vehicle market is
approximately six percent, on a unit basis.
The recreational vehicle industry is fairly heavily regulated. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act (TREAD), state lemon law
statutes, laws regulating the operation of vehicles on highways, state and
federal product warranty statutes and state legislation protecting motor vehicle
dealerships all impact the way the RV group conducts its recreational vehicle
business.
State and federal environmental laws also impact both the production and
operation of the Company's products. The Company has an Environmental Department
dedicated to efforts to comply with applicable environmental regulations. To
date, the RV group has not experienced any material adverse effect from existing
federal, state, or local environmental regulations.
HOUSING AND BUILDING SEGMENT
PRODUCTS
The Housing and Building Segment consists of residential and commercial
buildings. The Company's housing and building subsidiaries (the All American
Homes group, Mod-U-Kraf Homes, LLC and Miller Building Systems, Inc.) produce
factory-built modules for single-family residences, multi-family duplexes,
apartments, condominiums, hotels and specialized structures for municipal and
commercial use.
5
All American Homes and Mod-U-Kraf design, manufacture and market factory-built
modular housing and modular commercial structures. All American Homes is the
largest producer of modular homes in the United States and has seven operations
strategically located in Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio
and Tennessee. Mod-U-Kraf operates from a plant in Virginia. Together these
plants serve approximately 470 independent builders in 36 states and three
Company-owned builders located in Indiana, Kansas and Tennessee. Modular homes
are built to the same local building codes as site-built homes by skilled
craftsmen in a factory environment unaffected by weather conditions during
production. Production takes place on an assembly line, with components moving
from workstation to workstation for framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall,
roofing, and cabinet setting, among other operations. An average two-module home
can be produced in just a few days. As nearly completed homes when they leave
the plant, home modules are delivered to their final locations, typically in two
to seven sections, and are crane set onto a waiting basement or crawl space
foundation.
Miller Building Systems, Inc. ("Miller Building") designs, manufactures and
markets factory-built modular buildings for commercial use such as office
buildings, permanent housing, temporary housing, classrooms, telecommunication
shelters and other forms of shelter. Miller Building specializes in the
education and medical fields with its commercial modular buildings. It is also a
major supplier of shelters to house sophisticated telecommunications equipment
for cellular and digital telephones, data transmission systems and two-way
wireless communications. Miller Building also offers site construction services,
which range from site management to full turnkey operations. Depending on the
specific requirements of its customers, Miller Building uses wood, wood and
steel, concrete and steel, cam-lock panels or all concrete to fabricate its
structures. Miller Building manufactures its buildings in a factory, and the
assembled modules are delivered to the site location for final installation.
Miller Building has manufacturing facilities located in Indiana, Pennsylvania
and Vermont.
MARKETING
The Housing and Building group participates in an expanding market for the
factory-built residential and commercial buildings. Housing is marketed directly
to approximately 470 builders in 36 states who will sell, rent or lease the
buildings to the end-user. Commercial buildings are marketed to approximately
135 companies in 35 states. Customers may be national, regional or local in
nature.
The housing group regularly conducts builder meetings to review the latest in
new design options and component upgrades. These meetings provide an opportunity
for valuable builder input and suggestions at the planning stage. The modular
homes business is currently concentrated in the rural, scattered lot markets in
the geographic regions served. The Company has launched initiatives to supply
product into additional markets, including residential subdivisions in lower
tier metropolitan areas, group living facilities, motels/hotels, professional
office buildings and other commercial structures.
The success of modular buildings in the commercial market is the result of
innovative designs that are created by listening to customer needs and taking
advantage of advancements in technology. While price is often a key factor in
the purchase decision, other factors may also apply, including delivery time,
quality and prior experience with a certain manufacturer. A significant benefit
to the customer is the speed with which factory-built buildings can be made
available for use compared to on-site construction, and, in the commercial area,
the ability to relocate the building to another location if the end-user's
utilization requirements change. The sales staff calls on prospective customers
in addition to maintaining continuing contact with existing customers and
assists its customers in developing building specifications to facilitate the
preparation of a quotation. The sales staff, in conjunction with the engineering
staff, maintains ongoing contact with the customer for the duration of the
building project.
6
To further develop its initiatives to expand into additional markets, the
Company formed a new subsidiary during the year called All American Building
Systems, LLC. This new subsidiary will integrate direct sales and marketing for
both the All American Homes facilities and the Miller Building Systems
facilities. The Company anticipates that by combining the high volume production
capacity of All American Homes with Miller's custom building orientation they
will be able to provide a building solution without match in the market place.
Ultimately, this new entity will be dedicated to identifying new markets for the
Company's products through channels other than the traditional builder/dealer
network. All American Building Systems, LLC will become the primary, if not
sole, sales group for Miller Building Systems. Miller's technical sales
personnel will become part of the new entity in order to provide estimating
capability and support the sales efforts. Miller's existing engineering
department will form the nucleus of the combined engineering effort. This will
all but eliminate the need for out-sourced design services for All American
Homes and ensure commonality of the products manufactured by the various plants.
The operating business model for both Miller Building Systems and All American
Homes is being revised to reflect the evolving growth opportunities that exist
within the modular industry.
BUSINESS FACTORS
As a result of transportation costs, the effective distribution range of
factory-built homes and commercial buildings is limited. The shipping area from
each manufacturing facility is typically 200 to 300 miles for modular homes and
600 miles for commercial buildings. The potential shipping radius of the
telecommunication shelters is not as restricted as that of factory-built homes
and commercial buildings; however, the marketing of these shelters is
concentrated in geographic areas where there is a freight advantage over a large
portion of the competitors.
The overall strength of the economy and the availability and terms of financing
used by builders, dealers and end-users have a direct impact on the sales of the
Housing and Building group. Consequently, increases in interest rates and the
tightening of credit due to government action, economic conditions or other
causes have adversely affected the group's sales in the past and could do so in
the future.
COMPETITION AND REGULATION
Competition in the factory-built building industry is intense and the Housing
and Building group competes with a number of entities, some of which may have
greater financial and other resources than the Company. The demand for modular
homes may be impacted by the ultimate purchaser's acceptance of factory-built
homes as an alternative to site-built homes. To the extent that factory-built
buildings become more widely accepted as an alternative to conventional on-site
construction, competition from local contractors and manufacturers of other
pre-engineered building systems may increase. In addition to the competition
from companies designing and constructing on-site buildings, the Housing and
Building group competes with numerous factory-built building manufacturers that
operate in particular geographical regions.
The Housing and Building group competes for orders from its customers primarily
on the basis of quality, timely delivery, engineering capability, reliability
and price. The group believes that the principal basis on which it competes with
on-site construction is the combination of: the timeliness of factory versus
on-site construction, the cost of its products relative to on-site construction,
the quality and appearance of its buildings, its ability to design and engineer
buildings to meet unique customer requirements, and reliability in terms of
completion time. Manufacturing efficiencies, quantity purchasing and generally
lower wage rates of factory construction, even with the added transportation
expense, result in the cost of factory-built buildings being equal to or lower
than the cost of on-site construction of comparable quality. With manufacturing
facilities strategically located throughout the country, the Housing and
Building group provides a streamlined
7
construction process. This process of manufacturing the building modules in a
weather-free, controlled environment, while the builder prepares the site,
significantly reduces the time to completion on a customer's project.
Customers of the Housing and Building group are generally required to obtain
building installation permits from applicable governmental agencies. Buildings
completed by the group are manufactured and installed in accordance with
applicable building codes set forth by the particular state or local regulatory
agencies.
State building code regulations applicable to factory-built buildings vary from
state to state. Many states have adopted codes that apply to the design and
manufacture of factory-built buildings, even if the buildings are manufactured
outside the state and delivered to a site within that state's boundaries.
Generally, obtaining state approvals is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Some states require certain customers to be licensed in order to sell or lease
factory-built buildings. Additionally, certain states require a contractor's
license from customers for the construction of the foundation, building
installation, and other on-site work. On occasion, the Housing and Building
group has experienced regulatory delays in obtaining the various required
building plan approvals. In addition to some of its customers, the group
actively seeks assistance from various regulatory agencies in order to
facilitate the approval process and reduce the regulatory delays.

SEASONALITY
Historically, the Company has experienced greater sales during the second and
third quarters with lesser sales during the first and fourth quarters. This
reflects the seasonality of RV sales for products used during the summer camping
season and also the adverse impact of weather on general construction for the
modular building applications.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 2003, Coachmen employed 4,490 persons, 945 of whom are salaried
and involved in operations, engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, service and
warranty, sales, distribution, marketing, human resources, accounting and
administration. The Company provides group life, dental, vision services,
hospitalization, and major medical plans under which the employee pays a portion
of the cost. In addition, employees can participate in a 401(k) plan and a stock
purchase plan. Certain employees can participate in a stock option plan and in
deferred and supplemental deferred compensation plans (see Notes 8 and 9 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company considers its relations
with employees to be good.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During 2003, the Company spent approximately $7.2 million on research related to
the development of new products and improvement of existing products. The
amounts spent in 2002 and 2001 were approximately $6.4 million and $6.6 million,
respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
OVERVIEW
The Company was founded in 1964 as a manufacturer of recreational vehicles and
began manufacturing modular homes in 1982. Since that time, the Company has
evolved into a leading manufacturer in both the recreational vehicle ("RV") and
housing and building business segments through a combination of internal growth
and strategic acquisitions.
The Company's new plant openings have been an important component of its
internal growth strategy. In 1995, the Company opened a new modular housing
plant in Tennessee and in 1996, the Company expanded its modular housing
production capacity with the construction of a new facility for the North
Carolina housing operation. The construction of a new modular housing facility
in Ohio became fully operational in 1998. Increases in production capacity also
included additions to the modular housing plant in Iowa with an addition
completed in 1998. New additions to expand the North Carolina and Iowa modular
housing production facilities were completed in 2000. Additional travel trailer
plants in Indiana became operational in 1996 and 1997. These additional plants
helped capitalize on the growing market share of value-priced travel trailers.
In 1999, a new service building was constructed at the RV production facility in
Georgia and construction was completed in 1999 for a new manufacturing facility
in Indiana for Class A motorhomes. During 2003, the Company completed
construction of a new Class C motorhome manufacturing facility in Indiana and
purchased an existing facility in Georgia to expand its manufacturing capacity
for travel trailers and fifth wheels. The Company is also in the final stages of
completing a new service facility located at its Company-owned dealership in
North Carolina. For 2004, the Company is planning for a new manufacturing
facility to support anticipated production requirements associated with the
exclusive licensing arrangement with The Coleman Company, Inc.
Acquisitions have also played an important role in the Company's growth
strategy, particularly in the housing and building segment. In 2001, the Company
acquired Kan Build, Inc. ("Kan Build"), a manufacturer of modular buildings with
facilities in Kansas and Colorado. During 2000, the Company significantly
expanded its housing and building segment with the acquisitions of Mod-U-Kraf
Homes, Inc. ("Mod-U-Kraf Homes") and Miller Building Systems, Inc. ("Miller
Building"). For further details, including unaudited pro forma financial
information, see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. While
continuing to consider potential candidates for acquisition, none were completed
in 2003.
The Company's business segments are cyclical and subject to certain seasonal
demand cycles and changes in general economic and political conditions. Demand
in the RV and certain portions of the housing and building segments generally
declines during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally highest
during the spring and summer months. Inflation and changing prices have had
minimal direct impact on the Company in the past in that selling prices and
material costs have generally followed the rate of inflation. Changes in
interest rates impact both the RV and housing and building segments, with rising
interest rates potentially dampening sales.

COMPARISON OF 2003 TO 2002
Consolidated net sales increased $45.9 million, or 6.9% to $711.1 million in
2003 from $665.2 million in 2002. After a slow start at the beginning of 2003,
hindered by the anticipation of war in Iraq, industry trends improved,
particularly in the RV segment. The Company's RV segment experienced a net sales
increase of $52.6 million, or 12.1%, over 2002. During 2003, the Company saw a
shift in demand towards higher end products in the RV segment resulting in a
sales dollar increase over 2002 while unit shipments declined. Full-year
recreational vehicle wholesale unit shipments for the Company were down 4.0%
compared to 2002, while the industry was up 3.9% in the same categories. In the
various product categories, the Company's Class A market share increased to 7.1%
in 2003 as compared to 6.6% in 2002. Class C market share declined to 11.6%
compared to 13.3% in 2002. Travel trailer market share declined .9 percentage
points to 5.0% from 5.9% in 2002. Fifth wheel market share increased to 3.1% in
2003 from 2.4% in 2002 and camping trailer market share increased to 12.0% from
11.9% the previous year. The increase in Class A market share is attributable to
the improved performance of the Company's Georgie Boy subsidiary during 2003
coupled with the increased emphasis on rear diesel products at Coachmen
Recreational Vehicle Company. Travel trailer market share decreased mainly due
to the lower volumes achieved from Coachmen RV's Spirit of America entry-level
trailer. Also, more of the Company's towable business shifted to fifth wheels,
with unit shipments increasing 34.8% as compared to 2002. Fifth wheel market
share increased 29.2% as a result of several successful new floor plan
introductions during 2003. Camping trailers saw an industry-wide decline in
wholesale shipments of over 20% during 2003, The Company did slightly better,
resulting in a .1 percentage point market share gain. Because of this overall
decrease in unit shipments when compared to the industry, Coachmen's share of
recreational vehicle wholesale shipments for the year declined to 6.0%, a .6
percentage point decline from its 2002
16
full-year share of 6.6%. The 12.1% increase in sales dollars for the
recreational vehicle segment coupled with a 4.0% decrease in unit shipments
resulted in an increase of 16.7% in the average sales price per unit for
products sold by the Company in 2003. RV backlogs were a positive sign at the
end of 2003, being 26.6% higher at the end of 2003 as compared to the end of
2002. The housing and building segment had a net sales decrease in 2003 of $6.7
million, or 2.9%. Due to weather related problems, deliveries were hampered
throughout much of the year at several of the Company's locations, as builders
were unable to complete the foundations and site-preparation. As a result,
finished goods for the housing and building segment were 23.9% higher at
December 31, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002. On a positive note, 2003
year-end residential backlogs were 16.1% higher than year-end 2002. With
cooperative weather conditions, these products should be delivered during the
first quarter of 2004. For 2003, the housing and building segment experienced an
increase in the average sales price per unit but a decrease in unit sales. The
increase was mainly the result of sales price increases and surcharges related
to increased cost of raw materials, particularly lumber. Historically, the
Company's first and fourth quarters are the slowest for sales in both segments.
Gross profit was $104.7 million, or 14.7% of net sales, in 2003 compared to
$99.2 million, or 14.9% of net sales, in 2002. For the RV segment, gross profit
in dollars improved in 2003 while the gross profit percentage declined. Gross
profit in dollars and as a percentage of net sales was negatively affected in
2003 for the RV segment as a result of major material shortages experienced
throughout the year, including ovens and ranges during the fourth quarter.
Initial startups at the Company's two new RV manufacturing facilities located in
Indiana and Georgia also affected production efficiencies. However, as
production rates increased in these new plants, efficiencies steadily improved.
For the housing and building segment, gross profit in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales improved slightly in 2003 when compared to the previous
year. The overall increase in gross profit dollars was primarily attributable to
the continued recovery of the RV segment while the decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of sales was primarily the result of manufacturing inefficiencies in
the RV segment previously discussed.
Operating expenses, consisting of selling, delivery, general and administrative
expenses, were $94.1 million and $86.2 million, or as a percentage of net sales,
13.2% and 13.0% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Delivery expenses were $33.8
million in 2003, or 4.7% of net sales, compared with $30.3 million, or 4.6% of
net sales in 2003. Delivery expense is affected by product mix, delivery
distance as well as operating expenses and outsourcing costs. For 2003, delivery
expense increased $3.5 million as compared to 2002. However, revenue generated
from delivery, included in sales revenue, increased $4.9 million, more than
offsetting the increase in expenses for the year. Selling expenses for 2003 were
$27.0 million, or 3.8% of net sales, a .2 percentage point increase over the
$23.8 million, or 3.6% of net sales, experienced in 2002. The $3.2 million
increase in selling expense came primarily from the RV segment and was related
to increased sales staffing and travel-related expenses along with increased
expenses associated with new product shows. General and administrative expenses
were $33.3 million in 2003, or 4.7% of net sales, compared with $32.0 million,
or 4.8% of net sales, in 2002. The increase, while less as a percentage of sales
than 2002, was primarily related to increases in insurance costs and
professional services.
Operating income in 2003 of $10.6 million compared with operating income of
$13.0 million in 2002, a decrease of $2.4 million. This decrease is consistent
with the $5.5 million increase in gross profit coupled with the $7.9 million
overall increase in operating expenses.
Interest expense for 2003 and 2002 was $1.3 million and $1.5 million,
respectively. Interest expense varies with the amount of short- and long-term
borrowings incurred by the Company. The Company periodically borrows from its
line of credit to meet working capital needs, as indicated by the $5.0 million
outstanding balance at December 31, 2003. These borrowings were generally
associated with the increased inventory levels maintained by the Company
17
during 2003, along with the investment in two new manufacturing facilities
during 2003 that were funded primarily from available cash and marketable
securities. Investment income for 2003 of $1.0 million was $.5 million higher
than 2002 (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The gain on sale of properties decreased to $.5 million in 2003 from $2.3
million in 2002. The gains for 2003 resulted primarily from the sale of vacant
lots located in California. Assets are continually analyzed and every effort is
made to sell or dispose of properties that are determined to be excess or
unproductive.
Pretax income for 2003 was $11.1 million compared with pretax income of $15.0
million for 2002. The Company's RV segment generated pretax income of $2.1
million, or .4% of recreational vehicle net sales in 2003, compared with pretax
income of $1.9 million, or .4% of the RV segment's net sales in 2002. The
housing and building segment recorded 2003 pretax income of $10.0 million and in
2002, $10.1 million, or 4.5% and 4.4%, respectively, of segment net sales (see
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The provision for income taxes was an expense of $3.8 million for 2003 versus an
expense of $5.1 million for 2002, representing an effective tax rate of 33.8%
for both periods. The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based upon the
states where sales occur, the level of export sales, the mix of nontaxable
investment income and other factors (see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $7.4 million ($.48 per
diluted share) compared to net income of $9.9 million ($.62 per diluted share)
for 2002.
COMPARISON OF 2002 TO 2001
Consolidated net sales for 2002 were $665.2 million, an increase of 13.3% from
the $587.2 million reported in 2001. The Company's RV segment experienced a
sales increase of 26.4%, while the housing and building segment's sales
decreased by 5.3%. Improving industry trends, as well as the Company's extensive
branding and design improvements, resulted in increased dealer and consumer
demand for products in the RV segment. Full-year recreational vehicle wholesale
shipments for the Company were up 29.7% compared to 2001, while the industry was
up 22.1% in the same categories. Because the Company outperformed the industry,
Coachmen's share of recreational vehicle wholesale shipments for the year was
6.6%, a 6.5% increase from its 2001 full-year share. The recreational vehicle
segment experienced an increase in unit sales and a slight increase in the
average sales price per unit. The housing and building segment experienced an
increase in the average sales price per unit, but a decrease in unit sales. The
poor sales performance for less expensive commercial structures to the telecom
industry during 2002 as compared to 2001 was a major factor impacting both the
unit sales decrease and the average sales price per unit increase in the housing
and building segment. Historically, the Company's first and fourth quarters are
the slowest for sales in both segments.
Gross profit for 2002 increased to $99.2 million, or 14.9% of net sales, from
$83.4 million, or 14.2% of sales, in 2001. Gross profit in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales improved significantly in 2002 for the RV segment. For
the housing and building segment, gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of
net sales decreased in 2002 when compared to the previous year. The overall
improvement in gross profit was primarily attributable to the sales recovery of
the RV industry coupled with the realized benefit of cost reduction efforts in
the RV segment. Such efforts included the improved utilization of manufacturing
facilities resulting from plant consolidations that took place in 2001. The
housing and building segment's gross profit as a percentage of net sales
decreased mainly due to reduced sales volume, resulting in less efficient
utilization of manufacturing facilities.
18
Operating expenses, which include selling, delivery and general and
administrative expenses, were $86.2 million, or 13.0% of net sales in 2002,
compared with $87.9, or 15.0% of sales in 2001. Delivery expenses were $30.3
million, or 4.6% of net sales in 2002, compared with $31.4 million, or 5.4% of
net sales in 2001. Delivery expenses as a percentage of sales are considerably
higher for the housing and building segment as compared to the recreational
vehicle segment. With the recovery of the RV industry in 2002, the recreational
vehicle segment contributed a greater percentage of overall Company sales in
2002 as compared to 2001, resulting in a decrease in delivery expense as a
percentage of net sales. Selling expenses for 2002, at $23.8 million or 3.6% of
net sales, improved slightly as a percentage of sales from the $21.8 million or
3.7% of net sales in 2001. General and administrative expenses were $32.0
million, or 4.8%, of net sales in 2002, compared with $34.8 million, or 5.9%, of
net sales in 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of the discontinuation
of goodwill amortization in 2002 resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142. If
nonamortization provision of SFAS No. 142 had been applied in 2001, general and
administrative expense would have decreased by $1.2 million, or .2% of net sales
(see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Operating income was $13.0 million in 2002 compared with an operating loss of
$4.5 million in 2001, an improvement of $17.5 million. This increase was
consistent with the $15.8 million increase in gross profit coupled with the
decrease of $1.7 million in operating expenses.
Interest expense for 2002 and 2001 was $1.5 million and $2.3 million,
respectively. Interest expense varies with the amount of long-term debt and the
amount of premiums borrowed by the Company against the cash surrender value of
the Company's investment in life insurance contracts. Such outstanding borrowing
amounts declined in 2002. Interest expense also was higher in 2001 as a result
of assumed debt obligations in the acquisitions of Mod-U-Kraf Homes, Miller
Building and Kan Build. Investment income for 2002 of $.5 million was consistent
with 2001. Cash and temporary cash investments were used to reduce debt
obligations, particularly the borrowings against life insurance policies of
$18.5 million (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The gain on sale of properties increased to $2.3 million in 2002 from $.3
million in 2001. These gains resulted primarily from the sale of the two idle
Shasta facilities in Indiana and the closed Coachmen facility located in Oregon.
In addition, two of the previously closed Company-owned dealerships were sold in
2002. Other gains resulted from the sale of real estate in California and other
smaller properties. There were no significant gains on the sale of properties in
2001. Assets are continually analyzed and every effort is made to sell or
dispose of properties that are determined to be excess or unproductive.
Pretax income for 2002 was $15.0 million compared with a pretax loss of $6.1
million for 2001. The Company's RV segment generated pretax income of $1.9
million, or .4% of recreational vehicle net sales in 2002, compared with a
pretax loss of $11.6 million, or (3.4)% of the RV segment's net sales in 2001.
The housing and building segment produced 2002 pretax income of $10.1 million
and in 2001, $15.5 million, or 4.4% and 6.4%, respectively, of segment net sales
(see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The provision for income taxes was an expense of $5.1 million for 2002 versus a
benefit of $2.2 million for 2001, representing an effective tax rate of 33.8%
and (35.4%), respectively. The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based
upon the states where sales occur, the level of export sales, the mix of
nontaxable investment income and other factors (see Note 10 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $9.9 million ($.62 per
diluted share) compared to a net loss of $4.0 million ($(.25) per diluted share)
for 2001.
19
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary source of
working capital and liquidity. In addition, the Company maintains a $35 million
secured line of credit to meet its seasonal working capital needs (see Note 5 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This credit line was periodically
utilized in 2003 and there were $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings at
December 31, 2003. The credit line was not utilized during 2002. During 2001,
there were borrowings of $13.5 million under the credit facilities to finance
the cash purchase price of Kan Build and such borrowings were subsequently
repaid.
For 2002 and 2001, the Company's operating activities had been the principal
source of cash flows. However, during 2003, mainly as a result of increased
inventories and receivables, offset somewhat by an increase in trade payables,
the Company generated a negative cash flow from operations. Cash used in
operations in 2003 was $3.6 million while operating cash flows were $13.1
million and $41.3 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the year 2003,
net income, adjusted for depreciation, and an increase in trade payables, were
the significant factors in generating operating cash flows, which were offset by
increases in trade receivables and inventories. The increase in receivables was
related to the 15.8% increase in fourth quarter sales as compared to the
previous year and particularly by the RV segment's strong sales effort during
the final two weeks of December. For the year 2002, net income, adjusted for
depreciation, was a significant factor in generating operating cash flows,
offset by increases in trade receivables and inventories. The increase in
receivables was related to the 28.5% increase in fourth quarter sales volume. In
2001, depreciation and the decreases in receivables and inventories, offset
somewhat by decreases in trade accounts payable, were the major sources of cash
flows. The decrease in receivables was directly related to the decrease in total
net sales for the fourth quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.
Investing activities used cash of $3.4 million in 2003, provided cash of $4.8
million in 2002 and used cash of $4.4 million in 2001. In 2003, the investment
in two additional manufacturing facilities for the RV segment represented a
major use of cash. In 2002, the sale of property and equipment, including real
estate held for sale and rental properties provided cash flows of $10.0 million.
In 2001, investment activities were mainly attributable to the acquisition of
Kan Build. The sale of marketable securities, net of purchases, provided cash
flows of $4.9 million, $.4 million and $3.9 million for 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. These proceeds were used in part to fund the investment in the two
additional manufacturing facilities in 2003. Acquisitions of businesses consumed
cash of $7.7 million in 2001 (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Other than the two additional manufacturing facilities, capital
expenditures of $12.1 million during 2003 included a new service facility
currently under construction at the Company-owned dealership in North Carolina
and investments in machinery and equipment and transportation equipment for both
the recreational vehicle segment and the housing and building segment. Capital
expenditures during 2002 consisted mainly of completion of a new office building
for Mod-U-Kraf Homes and investments in machinery and equipment and
transportation equipment for both operating segments. Major capital expenditures
during 2001 included the completion of the Milliken, Colorado facility which was
under construction at the time of the Kan Build acquisition.
In 2003, cash flows from financing activities reflected the Company's short-term
borrowing activity. The principal use of cash flows from financing activities
was $4.4 million used to purchase common shares under the Company's share
repurchase program during the first quarter. In 2002, the principal use of cash
flows from financing activities was the $18.5 million used to repay borrowings
against life insurance policies, and $7.9 million used to purchase common shares
under the Company's share repurchase program. In 2001, cash flows from financing
activities reflected borrowings of $13.5 million, which were used for the
purchase of Kan Build. This was subsequently repaid during the year along with
$7.9 million of long-term debt acquired with the purchase.

Other financing activities for 2003, 2002 and 2001, which used cash in each of
the years, were payments of long-term debt and cash dividends. These negative
cash flows were partially offset by the issuance of common shares under stock
option and stock purchase plans. For a more detailed analysis of the Company's
cash flows for each of the last three years, see the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows.
The Company's cash and temporary cash investments at December 31, 2003 were $6.4
million, or a decrease of $10.1 million from 2002. The Company anticipates that
available funds, together with anticipated cash flows generated from future
operations and amounts available under its existing credit facilities, will be
sufficient to fund future planned capital expenditures and other operating cash
requirements through the end of 2004. In addition, the Company has $5.7 million
of marketable securities available, if needed, for operations.
A downturn in the U.S. economy, lack of consumer confidence and other factors
adversely impact the RV industry. This has a negative impact on the Company's
sales of recreational vehicles and also increases the Company's risk of loss
under repurchase agreements with lenders to the Company's independent dealers
(see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Critical
Accounting Policies below).
In 2003, working capital increased $2.4 million, to $96.0 million from $93.6
million. The $18.2 million increase in current assets at December 31, 2003
versus December 31, 2002 was primarily due to increases in trade receivables and
inventories. The $15.8 million increase in current liabilities is substantially
due to increases in trade payables and short-term borrowings.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures in 2004 of approximately $12
million. The major planned expenditures include a new manufacturing facility to
provide increased capacity for camping trailer production and other product
offerings associated with the exclusive licensing agreement signed with The
Coleman Company, Inc. in January 2004. The balance of the planned capital
expenditures for 2004 will be for purchase or replacement of machinery and
equipment and transportation equipment to be used in the ordinary course of
business. The Company plans to finance these expenditures with funds generated
from operating cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following discussion of accounting policies is intended to supplement the
summary of significant accounting policies presented in Note 1 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies were selected because they are
broadly applicable within our operating units and they involve additional
management judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions and
estimates necessary in determining the related income statement, asset and/or
liability amounts.
INVESTMENTS - The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for any
unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the
recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. The Company recognizes other than
temporary losses for investments when cost has exceeded fair market value for
nine or more months. At December 31, 2003, Management considers $457,800 of
unrealized losses to be other than temporary and, accordingly, has recorded a
charge against earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL - INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLES - The Company evaluates
the carrying amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually
to determine if they may be impaired. If the carrying amounts of the assets are
not recoverable based upon discounted cash flow analysis, they are reduced by
the estimated shortfall of fair value compared to the recorded value. The
Company completed the annually required valuation process and no impairment
losses were recognized in 2003. However, should actual results or changes in
future expectations differ from those projected by management, goodwill
impairment may be required and may be material.
WARRANTY RESERVES - The Company provides customers of its products with a
warranty covering defects in material or workmanship for periods generally
ranging from one to two years in length and up to ten years on certain
structural components. The Company records a liability based on its estimate of
the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as
of the balance sheet date. Estimated costs related to product warranty are
accrued at the time of sale and included in cost of sales. Average per unit
costs are estimated based upon past warranty claims and unit sales history and
adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as information becomes
available. Warranty expense totaled $16.3 million, $16.6 million and $16.8
million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Accrued liabilities for warranty
expense at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $8.7 million and $8.8 million,
respectively.
LITIGATION AND PRODUCT LIABILITY RESERVES - At December 31, 2003 the Company had
reserves for certain other loss exposures, such as product liability ($2.9
million) and litigation ($1.6 million)(see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). The Company litigation reserve is determined based on an
individual case evaluation process. The Company's estimated loss reserves for
product liability are determined using loss triangles established by the
Company's management reflecting historical claims incurred by the Company. While
the Company believes this method to be consistent and appropriate, changes in
estimates based on historical trends could materially affect the Company's
recorded liabilities for loss.
NEW AND PENDING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(See New Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking"
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and beliefs
concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject
22
to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control
of the Company that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
statements. These uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited
to, the potential fluctuations in the Company's operating results; the
availability and price of gasoline, which can impact the sale of recreational
vehicles; the availability and cost of real estate for residential housing; the
Company's dependence on chassis and appliance suppliers; the condition of the
telecommunications industry which purchases modular structures; interest rates,
which affect the affordability of the Company's products; potential liabilities
under repurchase agreements and guarantees; changing government regulations,
such as those covering accounting standards, environmental matters or product
warranties and recalls, which may affect costs of operations, revenues, product
acceptance and profitability; legislation governing the relationships of the
Company with its recreational vehicle dealers, which may affect the Company's
options and liabilities in the event of a general economic downturn; the impact
of economic uncertainty on high-cost discretionary product purchases, which can
hinder the sales of recreational vehicles; the demand for commercial structures
in the various industries that the housing and building segment serves; the
impact of performance on the valuation of intangible assets; the ability of the
housing and building segment to perform in new market segments where it has
limited experience; and also on the state of the recreational vehicle and
building industries in the United States. Other factors affecting
forward-looking statements include the cyclical and seasonal nature of the
Company's businesses, adverse weather conditions affecting home deliveries,
changes in property taxes and energy costs, changes in federal income tax laws
and federal mortgage financing programs, changes in public policy, competition
in these industries, the Company's ability to maintain or increase gross margins
which are critical to profitability whether there are or are not increased
sales; further developments in the war on terrorism and related international
crises; and other risks and uncertainties. The foregoing list is not exhaustive,
and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements.
At times, the Company's actual performance differs materially from its
projections and estimates regarding the economy, the recreational vehicle and
building industries and other key performance indicators. Readers of this Report
are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statements involves risks and
uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those
assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to
the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. There can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be
accurate. The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be
regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company's objectives will
be achieved.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to
fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of
financing and investing yields. In 2003, the Company periodically utilized its
credit facility to meet short-term working capital needs and these borrowings
were typically repaid in the near-term. The Company had borrowings of $5.0
million outstanding against its credit facility at December 31, 2003. The
Company did not utilize its credit facility in 2002. In 2001, the Company
utilized its credit facility in connection with the acquisition of Kan Build and
such borrowings were repaid within six months. Accordingly, changes in interest
rates would primarily impact the Company's long-term debt. At December 31, 2003,
the Company had $10.4 million of long-term debt, including current maturities.
Long-term debt consists mainly of industrial development revenue bonds. In
January of 2003, the Company entered into various interest rate swap agreements
that became effective beginning in October of 2003. These swap agreements, which
are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting
23
purposes, effectively convert a portion of the Company's variable-rate
borrowings to a fixed-rate basis through November of 2011, thus reducing the
impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense. The fair value
of the Company's interest rate swap agreements represents the estimated receipts
or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements. A loss of $160,000,
net of taxes, attributable to changes in the fair value of interest rate swap
agreements was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) in 2003. If in the future the interest rate swap agreements were
determined to be ineffective or were terminated before the contractual
termination dates, or if it became probable that the hedged variable cash flows
associated with the variable-rate borrowings would stop, the Company would be
required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized losses
on cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
At December 31, 2003, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements with
notional amounts of $2,000,000, $580,000, $3,600,000, and $2,200,000,
respectively, that were used to convert the variable interest rates on certain
industrial development revenue bonds to fixed rates. In accordance with the
terms of the swap agreements, the Company pays 3.39%, 3.12%, 3.71%, and 3.36%
interest rates, respectively, and receives the Bond Market Association Index
(BMA), calculated on the notional amounts, with net receipts or payments being
recognized as adjustments to interest expense.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had $5.7 million invested in marketable
securities. The Company's marketable securities consist of public utility
preferred stocks which typically pay quarterly fixed rate dividends. These
financial instruments are subject to market risk in that available energy
supplies and changes in available interest rates would impact the market value
of the preferred stocks. As discussed in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company utilizes U.S. Treasury bond futures options as
a protection against the impact of increases in interest rates on the fair value
of the Company's investments in these fixed rate preferred stocks. Outstanding
options are marked to market with market value changes recognized in current
earnings. The U.S. Treasury bond futures options generally have terms ranging
from 90 to 180 days. Based on the Company's overall interest rate exposure at
December 31, 2003, including variable or floating rate debt and derivatives used
to hedge the fair value of fixed rate preferred stocks, a hypothetical 10
percent change in interest rates applied to the fair value of the financial
instruments as of December 31, 2003, would have no material impact on earnings,
cash flows or fair values of interest rate risk-sensitive instruments over a
one-year period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Coachmen Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coachmen
Industries, Inc. (the Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and
2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December

the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Coachmen Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Coachmen Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") manufacture a full array of recreational vehicles and modular
housing and buildings. Recreational vehicles are sold through a nationwide
dealer network. The modular products (modular homes, townhouses and
specialized structures) are sold to builders/dealers or directly to the end
user for certain specialized modular structures.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Coachmen Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly or majority owned. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - For the recreational vehicle segment, the shipping
terms are free on board ("FOB") shipping point and title and risk of
ownership are transferred to the independent dealers at that time.
Accordingly, sales are recognized as revenue at the time the products are
shipped. For the housing and building segment, the shipping terms are
generally FOB destination. Title and risk of ownership are transferred when
the Company completes installation of the product. The Company recognizes
the revenue at the time delivery and installation are completed. Revenue
from final set-up procedures, which are perfunctory, is deferred and
recognized when such set-up procedures are completed.
CASH FLOWS AND NONCASH ACTIVITIES - For purposes of the consolidated
statements of cash flows, cash and temporary cash investments include cash,
cash investments and any highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less.
Noncash investing and financing activities are as follows:
2003 2002 2001
---- ---- ----
Issuance of common shares, at market
value, in lieu of cash compensation $ 991 $ 932 $ 1,038
Liabilities assumed in business
acquisitions - - 12,728
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and temporary
cash investments and trade receivables.
At December 31, 2003, cash and temporary cash investments invested in money
market accounts and short-term bond funds were less than $.1 million versus
$12.7 million at December 31, 2002.

COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued.
The Company has a concentration of credit risk in the recreational vehicle
industry, although there is no geographic concentration of credit risk. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and sales to its recreational vehicle dealers are generally
subject to pre-approved dealer floor plan financing whereby the Company is
paid upon delivery or shortly thereafter. The Company generally requires no
collateral from its customers. Future credit losses are provided for
currently through the allowance for doubtful receivables and actual credit
losses are charged to the allowance when incurred.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES - Marketable securities consist of public utility
preferred stocks which pay quarterly cash dividends. The preferred stocks
are part of a dividend capture program whereby preferred stocks are bought
and held for the purpose of capturing the preferred dividend. The
securities are available to be sold after exceeding the minimum 45 or
90-day holding period required for favorable tax treatment and the proceeds
are reinvested again in preferred stocks. The Company's dividend capture
program is designed to maximize dividend income which is 70% excludable
from taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code and related state tax
provisions. The Company accounts for its marketable securities under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which requires
certain securities to be categorized as either trading, available-for-sale
or held-to-maturity. Based on the Company's intent to invest in the
securities at least through the minimum holding period, the Company's
marketable securities at December 31, 2003 and 2002 are classified as
available-for-sale and, accordingly, are carried at fair value with net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. During 2003, the Company concluded that certain
marketable securities which had been in a loss position for nine or more
months were other than temporarily impaired and the loss position on those
securities were charged against earnings. At December 31, 2003, there were
unrealized losses of $457.8 that were considered other than temporary. The
cost of securities sold is determined by the specific identification method
and are classified as both short-term marketable securities and long-term
other assets, depending on the intended holding period.
The cost, unrealized gains and losses, and market value of securities
available for sale as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:
2003 2002
---- ----
Cost $5,399 $12,101
Other than temporary impairment of
unrealized losses ( 458) -
Unrealized gains 726 360
Unrealized losses - (1,460)
------ -------
Market value $5,667 $11,001
====== =======
The Company utilizes U.S. Treasury bond futures options to mitigate the
impact of increases in interest rates on the fair value of the Company's
investments in marketable securities (fixed rate preferred stocks). The
options are marked to market with market value changes recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. At December
31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amounts of U.S. Treasury bond futures
options, which are derivative instruments, aggregated $10 and $11,
respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and
temporary cash investments, receivables and accounts payable approximated
fair value as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, because of the relatively
short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term
debt, including current maturities, approximated fair value as of December
31, 2003 and 2002, based upon terms and conditions currently available to
the Company in comparison to terms and conditions of the existing long-term
debt. The Company has investments in life insurance contracts principally
to fund obligations under deferred compensation agreements (see Note 9). At
December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of life insurance policies,
which equaled their fair value, was $36.5 million and $33.2 million,
respectively.
Prior to 2003, increases in the cash value of life insurance policies were
offset by interest paid on the borrowings against those policies. In 2002,
all borrowings against these polices, totaling $18.5 million, were repaid.
Because there is no longer any interest expense associated with these
policies, increases in the cash value are now treated as investment income.
As required by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," the Company adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 133
effective January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133, as amended by Statement No.'s. 137
and 138, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company
utilizes U.S. Treasury bond futures options, which are derivative
instruments, and changes in market value are recognized in current
earnings. The Company has also entered into various interest rate swap
agreements to manage the economic risks associated with fluctuations in
interest rates by converting a portion of the Company's variable rate debt
to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest
rates on future interest expense. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the
hypothetical derivative method and any hedge ineffectiveness is reported as
interest expense. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material in 2003.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are carried
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Amortization of assets held under
capital leases is included in depreciation and amortized over the estimated
useful life of the asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method on the costs of the assets, at rates based on their estimated useful
lives as follows:
Land improvements 3-15 years
Buildings and improvements 10-30 years
Machinery and equipment 3-10 years
Transportation equipment 2-7 years
Office furniture and fixtures,
including capitalized computer software 2-10 years
Upon sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, including real
estate held for sale and rental properties, the asset cost and related
accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting
gain or loss is included in earnings.
EVALUATION OF IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In June 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which revised
the standard for accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets.
Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite lived identifiable
intangible assets no longer be amortized, but be tested for impairment at
least annually based on their estimated fair market values. Any impairment
of goodwill must be recognized currently as a charge to earnings in the
financial statements. The provisions for SFAS No. 142 became effective on
January 1, 2002 and required full implementation of the impairment
measurement provisions by December 31, 2002. The Company completed its
initial impairment analysis under SFAS No. 142 in June 2002 and performed
its annual impairment analyses as of October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002.
Based on the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units using a
discounted cash flows valuation, no goodwill for any unit was evaluated as
impaired. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company discontinued recording
goodwill amortization expense. Application of the non-amortization
provisions of Statement No. 142 in prior years is as follows:
2003 2002 2001
---- ---- ----
Reported net income (loss) $ 7,365 $ 9,929 $(3,951)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and the
accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations" for a disposal of a segment of a business. The
Company was required to adopt Statement No. 144 as of January 1, 2002.
The Company is actively marketing certain real property, which is no longer
being used in the operations of the business. However, under the transition
rules contained in SFAS No. 144, certain of these assets no longer
qualified as assets held for sale at December 31, 2002. Under the
definition contained in the statement, approximately $3.8 million of these
assets were reclassified to assets held and used at that date and
re-measured at the lower of their original carrying amount adjusted for
depreciation had the asset been in continuous use or to its fair value. As
a result, additional depreciation of $.2 million was recognized in 2002 to
comply with the pronouncement. Assets classified as held for sale at
December 31, 2002 were sold in the first quarter of 2003.
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets and finite-lived
intangible assets for impairment and assesses whether significant events,
changes in business circumstances or economic trends indicate that the
carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss,
equal to the difference between carrying value and fair value, is
recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the anticipated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and
its eventual disposal.
INTANGIBLES - Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002,
intangibles, consisting principally of excess of cost over the fair value
of net assets of businesses acquired ("goodwill"), had been amortized on a
straight-line basis over 5 to 40 years.
WARRANTY EXPENSE - The Company offers to its customers a variety of
warranties on its products ranging from 1 to 2 years in length and up to
ten years on certain structural components. Estimated costs related to
product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and included in cost of
sales. Estimated costs are based upon past warranty claims and sales
history and adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as
information becomes available. Warranty expense totaled $16.5 million,
$16.6 million and $16.8 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Changes in the Company's warranty liability during the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:
2003 2002
---- ----
Balance of accrued warranty at January 1 $ 8,796 $ 8,391

changes in liability for pre-existing warranties 16,467 16,575

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - On March 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
Performance Based Restricted Stock Plan initiated to motivate and reward
participants for superior achievement of the Company's pre-established
long-term financial performance goals. This new plan, effective as of
January 1, 2003, utilizes variable plan accounting, meaning that the cost
of the awards are expensed over the vesting period based upon the fair
value of the estimated shares to be earned at the end of the vesting
period. During the year ended December 31,2003, 86.7 contingent shares, net
of 1.8 forfeited shares, were awarded to key employees under the plan. The
exact number of shares that each employee will receive is dependent on the
Company's performance, with respect to net income, over a three-year
period. The amount expensed during the year ended December 31, 2003 was
$523.
The Company also has stock option plans and an employee stock purchase
plan, which are described more fully in Note 8. The Company accounts for
these 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 earnings for these plans, as all options granted under these plans have
an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock
at 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 No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to stock-based compensation.
Had the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's pro forma net income (loss) and
net income (loss) per share would have been:
2003 2002 2001

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - The Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others," changes current practice in accounting for, and
disclosure of, guarantees. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements for a
guarantor's accounting for the disclosure of certain guarantees issued and
outstanding. FIN 45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded as
liabilities at fair value on the Company's balance sheet. Previous practice
required that liabilities related to guarantees be recorded only when a
loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in
FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." FIN 45 also requires
a guarantor to make significant new disclosures, even when the likelihood
of making any payments under the guarantee is remote, which was another
change from previous practice. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 became
effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending
after December 15, 2002. The new recognition and measurement provisions did
not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statement of
financial position, operating results, or cash flows in the current year.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). This standard clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," and addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires existing unconsolidated
variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary
beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among the
parties involved. FIN 46 also enhances the disclosure requirements related
to variable interest entities. This statement is effective for any variable
interest entities entered into by the Company as of the end of the first
quarter of 2004. The Company's adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows.
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on
Issue 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables," which addresses how to account for arrangements that may
involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or
rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables
should be divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in
the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) value to the customer on a
stand alone basis, (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair
value of the undelivered items and (3) the arrangement includes a general
right of return, where delivery or performance of the undelivered items is
considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.
Arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate
deliverables based on their relative fair values. The accounting for
revenue arrangements under EITF 00-21 was applicable for all new agreements
entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The new
recognition and measurement provisions did not have a significant impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Research and development expenses
charged to operations were approximately $7,220, $6,370 and $6,583 for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS - The Company records freight billed to
customers as sales. Costs incurred related to shipping and handling of
products are reported as delivery expense in operating expenses.

VOLUME-BASED SALES AND DEALER INCENTIVES - The Company nets certain
volume-based sales rebates against sales revenue. Effective as of January
1, 2002 the Company adopted EITF 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given
by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products),"
which required the Company to net against sales or classify as cost of
sales certain costs that had previously been classified as selling or
delivery expenses. These costs included interest reimbursement expenses,
freight subsidies and certain rebates that were not volume-based. The
amount of sales incentives reclassified to net sales was $6.7 million in
fiscal year 2001. The adoption of the new EITF pronouncement had no impact
on net income.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) - Comprehensive income (loss) represents net
earnings and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, are excluded
from net earnings and recognized directly as a component of shareholders'
equity. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are
as follows:
Unrealized Accumulated
Unrealized Gains(Losses) Other
Gains(Losses) on Cash Flow Comprehensive
on Securities Hedges Income(Loss)

INCOME TAXES - The Company recognizes income tax expense in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are established for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns
using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences
are expected to reverse and is
subject to ongoing assessment of realizability. Deferred income tax expense
(benefit) represents the change in net deferred tax assets and liabilities
during the year.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal
2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements to conform to the
presentation used in fiscal 2003.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION.
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are
based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates
its business by product category. The Company's two reportable segments are
recreational vehicles, including related parts and supplies, and housing
and building. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and
allocates resources to them based on performance. The accounting policies
of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 and there are no
inter-segment revenues. Differences between reported segment amounts and
corresponding consolidated totals represent corporate income or expenses
for administrative functions and income, costs or expenses relating to
property and equipment that are not allocated to segments.

5. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS.
At June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit
Facility credit agreement that provides an unsecured line of credit
aggregating $35 million through June 30, 2006. This agreement was
subsequently amended to provide the Company with more flexibility in
achieving its financial objectives for 2004 and beyond. The new facility
replaces the previous Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility
secured line of credit aggregating $30 million that expired June 30,
2003. As of December 31,2003, the Company had borrowings outstanding on
the new facility of $5.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of
$3.2 million. Borrowings under the new Credit Facility bear interest
equal to: (i) a eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5%, or
(ii) a floating rate, for any day, equal to the greater of the prime rate
or the federal funds effective rate plus .5%. The Company is also
required to pay a facility fee of .25% of the daily unborrowed portion of
the aggregate commitment.
The Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative
covenants including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a
specified consolidated current ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio,
leverage ratio and a required minimum net worth.

maturities through 2015 $10,065 $10,930
Obligations under Community Development Block Grants, fixed rates of 3.5%
and 4.5% with various
maturities through 2005 32 69
Obligations under capital leases, interest imputed

Less, current maturities of long-term debt 990 902
------- -------
Long-term debt $ 9,419 $10,097
======= =======
Principal maturities of long-term debt during the four fiscal years
succeeding 2004 are as follows: 2005 - $1,266; 2006 - $1,221; 2007 - $1,582
and 2008 - $1,462.
In connection with the industrial development revenue bond obligations, the
Company obtained, as a credit enhancement for the bondholders, irrevocable
letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees. Under the industrial
revenue bond for the Mod-U-Kraf Homes' manufacturing facility in Virginia,
the issuer of the letter of credit holds a first lien and security interest
on that facility. The agreements relating to these letters of credit
contain, among other provisions, certain covenants relating to required
amounts of working capital and net worth and the maintenance of certain
required financial ratios. At December 31, 2003, the Company was in
compliance with all related covenants. Community Development Block Grants
payable to the City of Osage City, Kansas aggregating $32 were obtained as
part of the Kan Build acquisition and are payable in monthly installments
through 2005.
In January of 2003, the Company entered into various interest rate swap
agreements that became effective beginning in October of 2003. These swap
agreements are designated as cash flow hedges under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and are used to manage the
economic risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates by converting
a portion of the Company's variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis through
November of 2011, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on
future interest expense. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the
hypothetical derivative method. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported
within the interest expense caption of the statement of operations. Hedge
ineffectiveness was not material in 2003. The fair value of the Company's
interest rate swap agreements represents the estimated receipts or payments
that would be made to terminate the agreements. If, in the future, the
interest rate swap agreements are determined to be ineffective hedges or
are terminated before the contractual termination dates, or if it became
probable that the hedged variable cash flows associated with the
variable-rate borrowings would stop, the Company would be required to
reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts on cash
flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
within shareholders' equity.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT, continued.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements
with notional amounts of $2,000, $580, $3,600, and $2,200, respectively,
that were used to convert the variable interest rates on certain
industrial development revenue bonds to fixed rates. In accordance with
the terms of the swap agreements, the Company pays 3.39%, 3.12%, 3.71%,
and 3.36% interest rates, respectively, and receives the Bond Market
Association Index (BMA), calculated on the notional amounts, with net
receipts or payments being recognized as adjustments to interest expense.
At December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a liability for the potential
early settlement of these new swap agreements in the amount of $267. This
exposure represents the fair value of the swap instruments and has been
recorded in the balance sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 133 as a
noncurrent liability. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge has
been recorded, net of taxes, as a reduction of shareholders' equity as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
7. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has stock option plans, including the 2000 Omnibus Stock
Incentive Program (the "2000 Plan") which was approved by the shareholders
on May 4, 2000. The 2000 Plan provides for an additional one million common
shares to be reserved for grants under the Company's stock option and award
plans. The Company's stock option plan provides for the granting of options
to directors, officers and eligible key employees to purchase common
shares. The 2000 Plan permits the issuance of either incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options. Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs")
may be granted in tandem with stock options or independently of and without
relation to options. There were no SARs outstanding at December 31, 2003.
The option price for incentive stock options shall be an amount of not less
than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant and the
option price for nonqualified stock options shall be an amount of not less
than 90% of the fair market value per share on the date the option is
granted. No such options may be exercised during the first year after
grant, and are exercisable cumulatively in four installments of 25% each
year thereafter. Options have terms ranging from five to ten years.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001 there were exercisable options to purchase
395 and 640 shares, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of
$16.62 and $13.50, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value
of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
were $4.55, $6.31 and $4.33, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, 1,129
shares were reserved for the granting of future stock options and awards,
compared with 1,119 shares at December 31, 2002.
STOCK AWARD PROGRAMS
On October 19, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Award Program
which provided for the awarding to key employees of up to 109 shares of
common stock from shares reserved under the Company's stock option plan. On
December 1, 1998, the Company awarded 64 shares to certain employees,
subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the award program.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, no shares were awarded, 9.0 shares
were issued and 5.5 awarded shares were canceled. During the year ended
December 31, 2002, no shares were awarded, 8.8 shares were issued and .3
shares were canceled. During the year ended December 31,2003, no shares
were awarded, issued or canceled. The shares under the stock award program
were issued in four annual installments of 25% beginning one year from the
date of grant. The Company recognized compensation expense over the term of
the awards. Compensation expense of $-0-, $196 and $201 was recognized for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The 2000 Plan also permits the granting of restricted and unrestricted
stock awards to the Company's key employees and non-employee directors. In
accordance with the provisions of the 2000 Plan, the Board of Directors may
grant shares of stock to eligible participants for services to the Company.
Restricted shares vest over a period of time as determined by the Board of
Directors and are granted at no cost to the recipient. For restricted
shares that are not subject to pre-established Company performance
objectives, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period at
an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date.
Compensation expense for discretionary unrestricted stock awards is
recognized at date of grant. There were 14.2, 4.6 and 15.1 restricted
non-contingent stock awards granted at a weighted-average per share
grant-date fair value of $14.98, $18.68 and $11.48 in 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Compensation expense of $124.6, $134.0 and $64.5 was
recognized in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

8. COMMON STOCK MATTERS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE, Continued.
On March 1, 2003, the Company adopted the Performance Based Restricted
Stock Plan covering 115 shares of common stock per performance period for
officers and other key employees. The purpose of the plan is to permit
grants of shares, subject to restrictions, to key employees of the Company
as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to
increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan
entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that
the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise
disposed of during the restriction period. There is also a requirement to
forfeit the award upon certain terminations of employment, in cases other
than death, disability or retirement. The plan, effective as of January 1,
2003, is accounted for in accordance with the variable plan accounting
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," and therefore awards are
expensed based upon the fair value of the estimated shares to be earned
over the vesting period. The exact number of shares that each employee will
receive is dependent on the Company's performance, with respect to net
income, over a three-year period. During 2003, 86.7 shares, net of
forfeitures, were awarded under this plan. The weighted-average grant-date
fair value was $11.18 in 2003 for the shares awarded under the plan. The
market value of the shares awarded is recognized as unearned compensation
in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and is amortized to
operations over the vesting period. The Company amortized $523.4 to
compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2003.
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan under which a total of 455
shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for purchase by full-time
employees through weekly payroll deductions. Shares of the Company's common
stock are purchased quarterly by the employees at a price equal to the
lesser of 90% of the market price at the beginning or end or the quarter.
As of December 31, 2003, there were 282 employees actively participating in
the plan. Since its inception, a total of 369 shares have been purchased by
employees under the plan. The Company sold to employees 24.3, 16.5 and 26.2
shares at weighted fair values of $10.53, $12.77 and $8.08 in 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively. Certain restrictions in the plan limit the amount
of payroll deductions an employee may make in any one quarter. There are
also limitations as to the amount of ownership in the Company an employee
may acquire under the plan.

8. COMMON STOCK MATTERS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE, Continued.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per 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 and awards and
shares held in deferred compensation plans. Basic and diluted earnings per
share were calculated as follows:

As the Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001,
104 common stock equivalents related to stock options did not enter into
the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would
have been antidilutive.
For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, 285, 305 and 499
shares, respectively, of outstanding stock options were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was
greater than the average market prices for the respective periods and their
inclusion would have been antidilutive.
The sum of quarterly earnings per share may not equal year-to-date earnings
per share due to rounding and changes in diluted potential common shares.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
On October 21, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a new
shareholder rights plan to replace an existing rights plan that was due to
expire on February 15, 2000. The new rights plan, which became effective
January 12, 2000 (the "Record Date"), provides for a dividend distribution
of one common share purchase right (the "Rights") for each outstanding
common share to each shareholder of record on the Record Date. The Rights
will be represented by common share certificates and will not be
exercisable or transferable apart from the common shares until the earlier
to occur of (i) ten (10) business days following a public announcement that
a person or group of persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or
obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
outstanding common shares or (ii) ten (10) business days following the
commencement of (or announcement of an intention to make) a tender offer or
exchange offer if, upon consummation thereof, such an Acquiring Person
would be the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding common
shares. Upon the occurrence of the certain events and after the Rights
become exercisable, each right would entitle the rightholder (other than
the Acquiring Person) to purchase one fully paid and nonaccessable common
share of the Company at a purchase price of $75 per share, subject to
anti-dilutive adjustments. The Rights are nonvoting and expire February 1,
2010. At any time prior to a person or a group of persons becoming an
Acquiring Person, the Company's Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in
whole, but not in part, at a purchase price $.01 per Right.
9. COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has incentive compensation plans for its officers and other key
management personnel. The amounts charged to expense for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 aggregated $1,598, $2,959 and $1,665,
respectively.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Company has established a deferred compensation plan for executives and
other key employees. The plan provides for benefit payments upon
termination of employment, retirement, disability, or death. The Company
recognizes the cost of this plan over the projected service lives of the
participating employees based on the present value of the estimated future
payment to be made. The plan is funded by insurance contracts on the lives
of the participants. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of
these policies, which equaled their fair value, was $35,117 and $32,821,
respectively. The deferred compensation obligations, which aggregated
$7,588 and $7,231 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included
in other non-current liabilities, with the current portion ($364 and $312
at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively) included in other current
liabilities.

9. COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS, Continued.
In connection with the acquisitions of Miller Building Systems and
Mod-U-Kraf Homes in 2000 (see Note 11), the Company assumed obligations
under existing deferred compensation agreements. The liabilities recognized
in the consolidated balance sheets aggregated $536 and $1,109 at December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As part of these acquisitions, the Company
assumed ownership of life insurance contracts and trust accounts
established for the benefit of participating executives. Such assets, which
are valued at fair value, aggregated $58 and $680 at December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. During 2003, the trustees of the Miller plan elected to
dissolve their plan and release the collateral to the five remaining
participants in the plan. Liquidation of the Miller plan had no impact on
earnings.
SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Company has established a supplemental deferred compensation plan
(Mirror Plan) for key employees as determined by the Board of Directors.
The plan allows participants to defer compensation only after they had
deferred the maximum allowable amount under the Company's 401(k) Plan. The
participants select certain mutual funds investments and Company stock
whose performance is tracked by the Company. In addition, the Company
matches a certain level of participant contributions that vests over a
five-year period. Under the plan, the investments are not funded directly,
including the matching contributions and investments in Company stock.
Instead, the plan administrator tracks the performance of investments in
mutual funds and Company stock as directed by the participant and a
liability to the participants is recorded by the Corporation based on the
performance of the phantom investments. Participant benefits are limited to
the value of the vested benefits recorded on their behalf.
The Company has also established a supplemental deferred compensation plan
(Executive Savings Plan) for certain key executive management as determined
by the Board of Directors. This plan allows participants to defer
compensation without regard to participation in the Company's 401(k) plan.
The participants select certain mutual funds investments and Company stock
whose performance is tracked by the Company. In addition, the Company
matches a certain level of participant contributions that vests after a
five-year period. Under the plan, the investments are not funded directly,
including the matching contributions and investments in Company stock.
Instead, the plan administrator tracks the performance of investments in
mutual funds and Company stock as directed by the participant and a
liability to the participants is recorded by the Corporation based on the
performance of the phantom investments. Participant benefits are limited to
the value of the vested benefits recorded on their behalf.
Liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets related to these
plans as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 are $1,523 and $800, respectively.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company established a retirement plan (the
"Plan"), under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that covers all
eligible employees. The Plan is a defined contribution plan and allows
employees to make voluntary contributions up to 20% of annual compensation.
Under the Plan, the Company may make discretionary matching contributions
up to 6% of participants' compensation. Expense under the Plan aggregated
$1,291, $1,296 and $1,317 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively.

11. ACQUISITIONS.
On February 12, 2001, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Kan Build, Inc. ("Kan Build"), a
manufacturer of modular buildings. The purchase price aggregated $21.6
million and consisted of $8.9 million cash paid at closing and the
assumption of $12.7 million of liabilities. The excess of purchase price
over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") approximated $4.1 million.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the operating results
of Kan Build are included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition. Prior to 2002, goodwill was being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
Unaudited pro forma financial information as if this acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of the period is as follows:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.
LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases various manufacturing and office facilities under
non-cancelable agreements that expire at various dates through November
2006. Several of the leases contain renewal options and options to
purchase and require the payment of property taxes, normal maintenance and
insurance on the properties. Certain office and delivery equipment is also
leased under non-cancelable agreements that expire at various dates
through June 2008. The above-described leases are accounted for as
operating leases.
Future minimum annual operating lease commitments at December 31, 2003
aggregated $450 and are payable as follows: 2004 - $166; 2005 - $96; 2006
- $85; 2007 - $71; 2008 - $32. Total rental expense for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 aggregated $1,057, $1,118 and $1,269,
respectively.
OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE CONSIGNED INVENTORIES
The Company obtains vehicle chassis for its recreational and specialized
vehicle products directly from automobile manufacturers under converter
pool agreements. The agreements generally provide that the manufacturer
will provide a supply of chassis at the Company's various production
facilities under the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreement.
Chassis are accounted for as consigned inventory until either assigned to
a unit in the production process or 90 days have passed. At the earlier of
these dates, the Company is obligated to purchase the chassis and it is
recorded as inventory. Chassis inventory at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $11.6 million and $14.6
million, respectively.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Company is contingently liable to banks and other financial
institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with financing
provided by such institutions to most of the Company's independent dealers
in connection with their purchase of the Company's recreational vehicle
products. These agreements provide for the Company to repurchase its
products from the financial institution in the event that they have
repossessed them upon a dealer's default. Products repurchased from
dealers under these agreements are accounted for as a reduction in revenue
at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability
approximates $238 million at December 31, 2003 ($204 million at December
31, 2002), the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over
the Company's numerous dealers and is further reduced by the resale value
of the products repurchased. Based on losses previously experienced under
these obligations, the Company has established a reserve for estimated
losses under repurchase agreements. Accordingly, the Company is recording
an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements at December
31, 2003 and 2002 of $.3 million and $.4 million, respectively. Due to
improved market conditions within the recreational vehicle industry during
both 2003 and 2002, the Company has reduced its estimate of anticipated
losses. The favorable change in estimate exceeded actual losses incurred
by $.1 million and $.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. This compares to losses of $.7 million the year ended
December 31, 2001.

CORPORATE GUARANTEES
The Company was contingently liable under guarantees to financial
institutions of their loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling
approximately $4.6 million at December 31, 2003, $.9 million at December
31, 2002 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2001. During 2003, the Company
entered into an agreement with a financial institution to form a
private-label financing program to provide wholesale inventory financing
to the Company's dealers in the recreational vehicle segment. The
agreement provides for a preferred program that provides financing that is
subject to the standard repurchase agreement described above. In addition,
the agreement provides for a reserve pool whereby the financial
institution makes available an aggregate line of credit not to exceed $40
million that will provide financing for dealers that may not otherwise
qualify for credit approval under the preferred program. No dealer being
provided financing from the reserve pool can receive an aggregate line of
credit exceeding $5 million. Per each contract year, in addition to the
standard repurchase agreement described above, the Company will be liable
to the financial institution for the first $2 million of aggregate losses,
as defined by the agreement, incurred by the financial institution on
designated dealers with higher credit risks that are accepted into the
reserve pool financing program. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was
contingently liable for $4.6 million in loans from the reserve pool. The
Company has recorded a loss reserve of $.1 million associated with these
guarantees.
In addition, the Company is liable under a guarantee to a financial
institution for model home financing provided to certain independent
builders doing business with the Company's housing and building segment.
The amount outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 2003 is $1.4
million. Any losses incurred would be offset by the proceeds from the
resale of the model home and losses are limited to 20% of the original
contract price, and cannot exceed $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2003,
no losses had been incurred by the Company under the model home financing
program.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
Periodically, the Company has repurchased its common stock as authorized
by the Board of Directors. Under the repurchase program, common shares are
purchased from time to time, depending on market conditions and other
factors, on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
The Company repurchased 293, 507 and 53 shares during 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. At December 31, 2003, there are 73 remaining shares
authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors.
SELF-INSURANCE
The Company is self-insured for a portion of its product liability and
certain other liability exposures. Depending on the nature of the claim
and the date of occurrence, the Company's maximum exposure ranges from
$250 to $500 per claim. The Company accrues an estimated liability based
on various factors, including sales levels, insurance coverage and the
amount of outstanding claims. Management believes the liability recorded
(See Note 7) is adequate to cover the Company's self-insured risk.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS
On February 3, 2000, the Company entered into Change of Control Agreements
with key executives. Under the terms of these agreements, in the event of
a change in control of the Company, as defined, the Company would be
obligated to pay these key executives for severance and other benefits.
These agreements, as adjusted for subsequent changes in key personnel,
aggregated obligations of approximately $14.0 million and $12.9 million
based on salaries and benefits at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. In addition, in the event of a change of control of the
Company, all outstanding stock options and SARs shall become immediately
exercisable and all stock awards shall immediately be deemed fully
achieved.
Also on February 3, 2000, the Company established a rabbi trust, which in
the event of a change of control, as defined, will be funded to cover the
Company's obligations under its deferred compensation plan (see Note 9).
LITIGATION
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, most of which are
ordinary disputes incidental to the industry and most of which are covered
in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate
outcome of these matters and any liabilities in excess of insurance
coverage and self-insurance accruals will not have a material adverse
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, future business
operations or cash flows.
