6. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements", which provides guidance on applying accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, for recognizing
revenue. SAB 101 is effective for the fourth quarter of fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company believes it is in
compliance with SAB101 and there will be no impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
7. Investments - The Company classifies its debt and equity securities as
trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All
securities not included in trading are classified as available-for-sale.
Trading and available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading investments are included in
earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax
effect, on available-for-sale investments are excluded from earnings and
are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income, net of
income taxes until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of
available-for-sale investments are determined on a specific-identification
basis. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
At April 30, 2001, the Company held equity investments with a fair value
of $4,129,051 and cost basis of $6,443,146. The investments are classified
as available-for-sale and included in investments. Gross unrealized losses
were $2,314,095.
The Company has certain corporate debt investments that are classified as
trading investments and reported as Investments - short term. Included in
other income for the nine months ended April 30, 2001 are net realized
gains on trading investments of $131,340.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
Quarter Ended April 30, 2001 vs. Quarter Ended April 30, 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the third quarter totaled $221,028,840, down 11.6% from
$250,119,544 in the same period last year. Income before income taxes was
$11,522,450, down 32% from $16,944,118 last year. The decrease in income before
income taxes of $5,421,668 was primarily attributed to reduced recreational
vehicle revenues for the period of $49,621,138, which resulted in an approximate
$6,523,000 reduction in income before income taxes. Bus revenues were
$20,530,434 greater than the third quarter last year, which resulted in an
approximate $1,125,000 increase in income before income taxes. There were no
losses on divestment of operations for the quarter ended April 30, 2001, which
resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of $1,120,000 compared to
the same period last year; however, this increase was offset by a favorable
insurance adjustment of approximately $855,000 in the quarter ended April 30,
2000.
Recreational vehicle revenues of $146,705,734 were 25.3% lower than $196,326,872
last year, and accounted for 66.4% of total Company revenues compared to 78.5%
last year. Recreational vehicle order backlog of $63,355,000 at April 30, 2001
was down 44.2% compared to the same period last year and reflects the continuing
softness in the overall R.V. market. Bus revenues of $74,323,106 were 38.2%
higher than last year's $53,792,672 and accounted for 33.6% of total Company
revenues compared to 21.5% last year. Bus vehicle order backlog of $188,617,000
at April 30, 2001 was 2.1% lower than the same period last year.
Gross profit decreased as a percentage of sales from 13.1% in the third quarter
ended April 30, 2000 to 11.4% at April 30, 2001 due primarily to lower
recreational vehicle volume. There were no price increases during the quarter
ended April 30, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expense and
amortization of intangibles decreased to $14,388,246 from $15,590,080 last year.
However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expense were 6.5% for the quarter this year compared to 6.2% last year. This
increase as a percentage of net sales revenue compared to last year is due
largely to the favorable $855,000 insurance adjustment in the quarter last year.
Interest income for the quarter was approximately the same as last year due
primarily to investable cash being higher than last year offsetting lower market
rates. Interest expense increased by approximately $138,000, primarily due to
interest paid on increased bus chassis pools.
The overall effective income tax rate was 41.6% for the quarter ended April 30,
2001 compared to 40.5% last year. This difference is due primarily to timing of
recording the Company's foreign sales corporation's savings.
Nine Months Ended April 30, 2001 vs. Nine Months Ended April 30, 2000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the nine months totaled $604,030,823, down 10.4% from $674,438,658
in the same period last year. Income before income taxes was $30,784,353, down
31.4% from $44,852,359 last year. The decrease in income before income taxes of
$14,068,006 was primarily attributed to reduced recreational vehicle revenues
for the period of $111,997,689, which resulted in an approximate $16,889,000
reduction in income before income taxes. Bus revenues were $41,589,854 greater
than the nine month period last year, which resulted in an approximate
$1,593,000 increase in income before income taxes. There were no losses on
divestment of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2001, which
resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of approximately
$2,048,000 compared to the same period last year; however, this increase was
partially offset by the favorable insurance adjustment of approximately $855,000
in the quarter ended April 30, 2000.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
(CONTINUED)
-----------
Recreational vehicle revenues of $388,998,153 were 22.4% lower than last year's
$500,995,842 and accounted for 64.4% of total Company revenues compared to 74.3%
last year. Bus revenues of $215,032,670 were 24% higher than last year's
$173,442,816 and accounted for 35.6% of total Company revenues compared to 25.7%
last year. Bus revenues were up primarily due to increased unit sales.
Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales from 13.0% for the nine
months ended April 30, 2000 to 11.4% for the nine months ended April 30, 2001
due primarily to lower recreational vehicle volumes. There were no price
increases during the nine months ended April 30,2001. Selling, general and
administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles decreased to $41,402,327
from $43,440,405. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 6.9% compared to 6.4% last year. This increase as a
percentage of sales revenue compared to last year is due primarily to additional
sales programs and incentives for recreational vehicles in a highly competitive
soft market environment this year and the favorable $855,000 insurance
adjustment last year.
Interest income increased by approximately $507,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 2001 due to increased investable cash. Interest expense increased by
approximately $279,000 primarily due to interest paid on increased bus chassis
pools.
The overall effective income tax rate was 40.6% for the nine months ended April
30, 2001 compared to 41.0% last year due primarily to a tax refund of $165,000
in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
As of April 30, 2001, Thor had $56,500,462 in cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments, compared to $77,963,445 on July 31, 2000. The Company
classifies its debt and equity securities as "trading" or "available for sale".
The former are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Cash and Cash
Equivalents or Investments - Short Term. The latter are carried on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption "Investments" - "Investments
available for sale".
Trading securities are, generally, bought and held for sale in the near term.
All other securities are classified as available for sale. In each case, the
securities are carried at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses on
trading investments are included in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on
investments classified as available for sale, net of related tax affect, are not
included in earnings, but appear as a component of Accumulated other
comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, until the gain or loss is
realized upon the disposition of the investment or if a decline in the fair
market value is determined to be other than temporary.
Due to the relative short term maturity (average 6 months) of the trading
securities, principally investment grade securities composed of asset backed
notes, mortgage backed notes and corporate bonds, management does not believe
that changes in fair market value will have a significant impact on the
Company's financial position or results of future operations.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
(CONTINUED)
-----------
Working capital at April 30, 2001 was $142,286,636 compared to $138,909,444 at
July 31, 2000. The Company has no long term debt. The Company currently has a
$30,000,000 revolving line of credit. There were no borrowings on the line of
credit at April 30, 2001. The loan agreement contains certain covenants
including restriction on additional indebtedness, and the Company must maintain
certain financial ratios. The line of credit bears interest at negotiated rates
below prime and expires on November 30, 2001. The Company believes that
internally generated funds and the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
This report includes certain statements that are "forward looking" statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. These
forward-looking statements involve uncertainties and risks. There can be no
assurances that actual results will not differ from the Company's expectations.
Factors which could cause materially different results, include, among others,
the success of new product introduction, the pace of acquisition and cost
structure improvements, competitive and general economic conditions. The Company
disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions
to any change in expectation of the Company after the date hereof or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based except as
required by law.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency related
to its operations in Canada. However, because of the size of Canadian
operations, a hypothetical 10% change in the Canadian dollar as compared to the
U.S. dollar would not have a significant impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations. The Company is also exposed to market risks
related to interest rates because of its investments in corporate debt
securities. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
