3.    During April 1998, the Company's management determined that the accounting
      records at the General Coach - Brown City location were incorrectly stated
      for all periods subsequent to July 31, 1995. The balances specifically
      affected were cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accrued liabilities,
      cost of products sold and the provision for taxes. As a result, the
      Company's financial statements as of October 31, 1996 and July 31,1996 and
      for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995 have been
      restated from the amounts previously reported to correct the cash,
      accounts receivable, inventory, other accrued liabilities, and its related
      effect on earnings.

      The effects of the restatement are as follows:

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           (AS RESTATED, SEE NOTE #3)
                           --------------------------




Quarter Ended October 31, 1996 vs.
     Quarter Ended October 31, 1995
- -----------------------------------

Net sales for the first quarter totaled $150,496,821, down 1.0% from
$151,519,204 in the same period last year. Income before income taxes was
$8,035,473 compared to $7,144,251 in the same period last year. This increase
was primarily due to reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In general, the Company did not adjust its sales prices during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997.

Recreational vehicle revenues of $117,568,811 were 5.8% lower than last year and
were 78.1% of total company revenues compared to 82.4% last year. Bus revenues
of $32,928,010 were 23.4% higher than last year and were 21.9% of total company
revenues compared to 17.6% last year.

Manufacturing gross profit decreased to 10.7% compared to 10.8% last year.

Operating income totaled $7,625,606 up 10.4% from $6,906,597 in the same period
last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $8,516,984,
5.7% of sales, from $9,402,684, 6.2% of sales, primarily due to an adjustment of
$669,000 to deferred compensation.

Interest income decreased by $5,088 and interest expense increased by $125,093.
This increase in interest expense was due primarily to additional borrowing for
increases in accounts receivable, inventories, and purchase of 40,000 shares of
treasury stock.

The combined income tax rate was 40.4% compared to 40.9% last year.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

As of October 31, 1996, Thor had $6,161,546 in cash and cash equivalents,
compared to $12,737,778 on July 31, 1996.

Working capital at October 31, 1996 was $77,358,514 compared to $73,762,459 at
July 31, 1996. Inventory valued at current cost at October 31, 1996 exceeded the
LIFO inventory by $2,819,202.

At October 31, 1996, the Company had a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit with
Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One. The amount borrowed under this line
as of October 31, 1996 was $14,000,000. The loan agreement contains certain
covenants, including restrictions 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 29, 1996. The Company had
no long term debt as of October 31, 1996. Amortization of intangibles decreased
from $716,375 at October 31, 1995, to $541,374 at October 31, 1996 due to
certain intangibles being fully amortized.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, Thor purchased 40,000 shares of its
common stock, increasing treasury stock by $935,000.


On October 17, 1996, Thor Industries, Inc. filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission schedule 13 E4, Issuer Tender Offer Statement, announcing an
offer to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price not
greater than $26 nor less than $24 per share, net to the seller. The Company
will select the lowest per share price that will allow the Company to buy up to
500,000 shares (or such lesser number as are properly tendered and not
withdrawn) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer
to Purchase dated October 17, 1996.

                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           (AS RESTATED, SEE NOTE #3)

On November 14, 1996 Thor announced an extension of its Offer to Purchase to
12:00 midnight, New York City time, to Thursday, November 21, 1996. On Friday,
November 22, 1996, Thor announced the results of its Offer to Purchase
indicating 503,319 shares were tendered and not withdrawn at prices of $24 3/4
per share or lower. Purchase of said shares commenced on November 22, 1996 and
were expected to be completed prior to 11/30/96.

The source of funds used for the purchase was Thor's line of credit which was
increased on November 22, 1996 to $30,000,000 under the same terms and
conditions as the expiring $25,000,000 line of credit. This new line of credit
expires on November 30, 1997.

The Company believes that internally generated funds and the revolving credit
agreement already in place will be sufficient to meet current operating needs
and anticipated capital requirements. The Company does not anticipate
significant capital expenditures for fiscal 1997.
