Bassett, Chairman, stated:
"The decrease in sales for both the quarter and six month period of 2005 was due to a decline in sales to RV customers partially offset by a modest increase in sales to MH customers and record quarterly hospitality shipments. Sales to our RV customers declined by $1,633,000 and $2,593,000 respectively for the second quarter and six month periods of 2005 compared with the same periods a year ago. Customers directly related the reduction in our RV sales to lower production of travel trailers and motor homes.
"Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 declined by $383,383 from last year's second quarter. This decline was largely attributable to the reduced sales. Additionally, they experienced higher manufacturing costs. Some of the increased costs aredue to the opening of their new factory in Phoenix, Arizona. Selling and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter of 2005 due to a pretax charge of $165,647 resulting from a decision to convert "enterprise resource planning" system to a different software platform.
