6.   Treasury Shares

The Company purchased and retired 323,200 shares of treasury stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 at an average cost of $26.27 per share. This retirement resulted in a reduction of $32,320 in common stock and $458,345 in additional paid-in-capital and $7,999,600 in retained earnings. In addition, the Company purchased 256,000 shares of Thor common stock in April 2005 at a cost of $7,031,014 to be held as Treasury shares. Of the 256,000 shares, 90,000 shares at a cost of $2,430,495 did not settle until May, and therefore, are recorded in accounts payable. The average cost per share was $27.46.

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 classified as trading are classified as available-for-sale. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company decided to begin actively trading its equity securities
previously classified as available-for-sale securities.

Trading and available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair market 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 accumulated other 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.
