NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Note 1: Footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate the
disclosure contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the
year ended December 31, 1997 has not been included. The unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the periods presented and to present
fairly the consolidated financial position of Huffy Corporation as of
March 31, 1998. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.
Note 2: Inventories of Huffy Bicycle Company and Huffy Sports Company are
valued using the dollar value LIFO method and, as a result, it is
impractical to separate inventory values between raw materials,
work-in-process and finished products on an interim basis.
Note 3: In March 1997, Huffy Corporation reached an agreement with Evenflo
Company, Inc. to sell the assets of its Denver-based juvenile
products business, Gerry Baby Products Company, for $73 million. The
results for Gerry Baby Products Company have been classified as
discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
(Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
NET EARNINGS (LOSS)
- -------------------
Huffy Corporation ("Huffy" or "Company") had net earnings from continuing
operations of $3,786, or $0.30 per common share for the quarter ended March 31,
1998, compared to $2,944, or $0.22 per common share for the same period last
year. The improvement in net earnings is attributed to innovative new products
and services, brand development and channel expansion, a company-wide focus on
cost reduction, and complementary bolt-on acquisitions. The first quarter 1998
results were not impacted by the Company's juvenile products business which was
sold to Evenflo Company, Inc. in April, 1997. In the first quarter of 1997, the
juvenile products business reported net sales of $32,821 and net earnings of
$462, or $0.03 per common share.
NET SALES
- ---------
Net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were
$182,305, an increase from the sales level of $171,927 for the same quarter in
1997. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, net sales in the Consumer
Products segment increased due to strong seasonal demand for bicycles and
basketball systems, and the continued diversification in the lawn and garden
tools business. In the Services for Retail segment, net sales increased
primarily in the inventory services business.
GROSS PROFIT
- ------------
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $32,467, up from the
$27,422 achieved in the first quarter of 1997. Expressed as a percentage of net
sales, gross profit for the first quarter of 1998 was 17.8% compared to 15.9%
for the first quarter of 1997. Gross profit for the Consumer Products segment
increased primarily due to a higher margin product mix and the positive impact
of the Continuous Rapid Improvement program to offset continued unfavorable
pricing pressures. In the Services for Retail segment gross margins declined
slightly due to the tight labor market across the nation and continued
competitive pressures in the marketplace.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24,155 for the first quarter
of 1998, compared to $19,979 for the same period in 1997. Expressed as a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 13.2% compared to 11.6% for the first quarter
of 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 is primarily due to increased commissions, customer
service, and distribution costs related to the increased sales in both the
Consumer Products and Services for Retail segments. Selling, general and
administrative costs for 1997 were favorably impacted by an environmental
insurance recovery.

SALE OF JUVENILE PRODUCTS BUSINESS
- ----------------------------------
On April 21, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its juvenile products
business, Gerry Baby Products Company to Evenflo Company, Inc., for $73 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
There have been no other significant changes in the Company's liquidity and
capital resources as of March 31, 1998 from those discussed in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company's
balance sheet reflects fluctuations in both current assets and current
liabilities attributable to seasonal changes in the operations of its
businesses.
ENVIRONMENTAL
- -------------
As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 1997, the Company, along with others, has been designated as a
potentially responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(the "EPA") with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous
substances into the environment in the Baldwin Park operable unit of the San
Gabriel Valley Superfund site ("Superfund"). Currently, the Company, along with
other PRPs, the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority and numerous local
water districts are working with the EPA on a mutually satisfactory remedial
plan. In developing its estimate of environmental remediation costs, the Company
considers, among other things, currently available technological solutions,
alternative cleanup methods and risk-based assessments of the contamination and,
as applicable, an estimation of its proportionate share of remediation costs.
The Company may also make use of external consultants, and consider, when
available, estimates by other PRPs and governmental agencies and information
regarding the financial viability of other PRPs. The Company believes it is
unlikely that it will incur substantial previously unanticipated costs as a
result of failure by other PRPs to satisfy their responsibilities for
remediation costs. On May 15, 1997, the Company, along with other PRPs, received
special notice letters from the EPA requesting a good faith offer of remediation
for the Superfund. Such response has currently been postponed. Based upon
information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or its
ongoing results of operations. However, such costs could be material to results
of operations in a future period.
Please see the Company's meaningful cautionary statements regarding forward
looking statements contained in the Company's report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 1998 which is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.
