All American Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by All American Group, Inc. (“the Company”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Management believes the disclosures made in this document are adequate so as not to make the information presented misleading.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and read in conjunction with these notes, contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. Management recommends that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2.     SEGMENT INFORMATION.

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its business by product category. The Company's two reportable segments are Specialty Vehicles and Housing. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on net sales and pre-tax income and allocates resources to them based on performance. There are no inter-segment revenues. The Company allocates certain corporate expenses to these segments based on three dimensions: revenues, subsidiary structure and number of employees. Differences between reported segment amounts and corresponding consolidated totals represent corporate income or expenses for administrative functions and income, debt expenses, costs or expenses relating to property and equipment that are not allocated to segments.

The table below presents information about the segments, used by the chief operating decision maker of the Company for the three and six-month periods ended September 30 (in thousands):

 At September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company had $4.7 million classified in assets held for sale.  These assets were available and listed for sale.  These assets consisted of former Housing Segment property and buildings, including the former manufacturing facility in Zanesville, Ohio that was consolidated into a larger Indiana manufacturing plant, plus a warehouse and office building in Decatur, Indiana.  Also included is a former RV paint facility located in Elkhart, Indiana that the Company sold on December 5, 2007 for $2.9 million consisting of cash of $0.3 million and a $2.6 million secured note that was due in full December 2008.  Due to the default on the secured note, the property reverted back to the Company during the third quarter of 2009.

Joint Venture – Note Receivable

In December 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to produce ADA compliant low floor accessible buses for ARBOC Mobility, LLC, a marketer of specialized transit and shuttle buses designed for users with mobility challenges. This bus incorporates patent pending technologies provided by ARBOC Mobility. In connection with the agreement with ARBOC Mobility, LLC, the Company agreed to finance up to $1.0 million of start up cash requirements. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has a note receivable of $0.9 million due from ARBOC Mobility, LLC for start up cash requirements. The note is on a month-by-month basis and bears interest at the rate of 1% per month on the principal balance. The note is included in other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at a net amount of $0.6 million after write-down for the Company’s portion of joint venture losses to date. The Company has a 30% interest in this entity and therefore accounts for this investment on the equity basis. Related party transactions with ARBOC Mobility, LLC include sales of $6.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2010 and of $3.8 million and $7.0 million for the corresponding periods of 2009. Outstanding accounts receivable were approximately $1.7 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

As of September 30, 2009 the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, relating to deferred losses on cash flow hedges was ($53,000). In October 2009, the interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.8 million that was used to convert the variable interest rates on an industrial development revenue bond to a fixed rate was terminated and paid.

7.     EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMMON STOCK MATTERS.

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and awards and shares held in deferred compensation plans. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month period ended September 30 were calculated using the average shares as follows (in thousands):

For the quarters ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, 76,200 and 78,900 shares of outstanding stock options respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market prices for the respective periods and their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Share Repurchase Programs

Periodically, the Company has repurchased its common stock as authorized by the Board of Directors. Under the repurchase program, common shares are purchased from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. During August 2006, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase of up to one million shares. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased 24,914 shares for a total cost, including commissions, of $46,993.  At September 30, 2010, there are 931,071 shares remaining authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors.

8.     INCOME TAXES.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2010, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.0 million including interest and penalties. During the 1st quarter of 2010, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS with respect to its appeal of the disallowance of Federal Research & Experimentation tax credits for the years 1999 to 2004. As a result of this settlement, unrecognized tax benefits were reduced $1.7 million. During the 3rd quarter of 2010 the Company determined as a result of this settlement $0.3 million of state Research & Experimentation credits from 1999 through 2004 were no longer available.  Through the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010 the Company also recognized a net tax benefit in the amount of $0.2 million resulting from several miscellaneous adjustments such as federal and state tax payables and receivables, and deferred tax liabilities.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities. In 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns specifically for the purpose of reviewing claims for Research and Experimentation credits for the years 1999 through 2004. The audit of these claims has been concluded and a settlement was concluded during the first quarter. The settlement of this audit resulted in $0.3 million in interest income being recorded in the first quarter of 2010.
 
For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004.

The ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income is dependent on a number of factors and complex regulations.  Certain limitations may be placed on net operating loss carryforwards as a result of “changes in control” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally, after a change in control, a corporation cannot deduct NOL carryforwards in excess of the Section 382 limitation.  Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of NOL carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods.  The Company has not performed a Section 382 analysis, however management believes that certain changes in control may have occurred which may result in limitations on utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets because, based on the weight of available evidence including continued operating losses, it is more likely than not that not all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

Obligation to Purchase Consigned Inventories

The Company obtains certain of its vehicle chassis for its bus products directly from an automobile manufacturer under a converter pool agreement. The agreement generally provides that the manufacturer would provide a supply of chassis at the Company's production facilities under the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreement. Chassis are accounted for as consigned inventory until assigned to a unit in the production process. At that point, the Company is obligated to purchase the chassis and it is recorded as inventory. The Company also has a bailment agreement with an automobile dealer providing for a similar consignment arrangement. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, chassis inventory, accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company was contingently liable at December 31, 2009 to banks and other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by such institutions to most of the Company's former independent dealers in connection with their purchase of the Company's recreational vehicle products. These agreements provided for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a dealer's default. The estimated maximum contingent liability, without offsets for resale, was approximately $0.4 million at December 31, 2009. The Company was subject to buy-back claims for a limited specific time period, starting from the date of original wholesale sale. This specified time period has expired, and at September 30, 2010, the Company is no longer liable for these repurchase claims.  Based on losses previously experienced under these obligations, the Company had established a reserve for estimated losses under repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2009, $0.2 million was recorded as an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.

 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued.

The Company was also contingently liable at September 30, 2010 to a financial institution on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by the institution to certain of the Company's independent home builders in connection with their purchase of the Company's housing products. This agreement provides for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a builder's default. Products repurchased from builders under this agreement are accounted for as a reduction in revenue and cost of sales at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability without offsets for resale would be approximately $2.5 million at September 30, 2010 ($4.0 million at December 31, 2009), is reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. The Company has evaluated the potential for losses under this agreement and has recorded an accrual of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for estimated losses under the repurchase agreement.
  
Corporate Guarantees

The Company was contingently liable under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $0.6 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2009. The Company had an agreement with a financial institution to form a private-label financing program to provide wholesale inventory financing to the Company's former recreational vehicle dealers. The agreement provided for a preferred program that provided financing subject to the standard repurchase agreement described above. In addition, the agreement provided for a reserve pool whereby the financial institution made available an aggregate line of credit not to exceed $40 million that provided financing for dealers that may not otherwise qualify for credit approval under the preferred program. No dealer being provided financing from the reserve pool could receive an aggregate line of credit exceeding $5 million. At September 30, 2010 the Company was contingently liable to the financial institutions up to a maximum of $2.0 million of aggregate losses, as defined by the agreement, incurred by the financial institutions on designated dealers with higher credit risks that were accepted into the reserve pool financing program. The Company has recorded a loss reserve of less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 associated with these guarantees.

Litigation

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to provide financing of up to $4.9 million to a developer for the construction of a hotel for which the Company was to provide modular units. As of September 30, 2010, the Company provided $2.3 million in financing to the developer under this arrangement. No funding has been provided since December 2005. The loans are collateralized by a first priority interest in all tangible and intangible property of the borrower. The developer was unable to obtain a building permit, so the Company has pursued its legal remedies through litigation to recoup the financing extended to date. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company obtained title to the real estate that was partial collateral for this Note. On August 20, 2010, a judgment was entered in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $2.3 million plus interest of $0.3 million, plus additional interest accrued after June 5, 2006, plus all costs, including attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of the Company's rights, plus the costs of the action.  The liable parties are a company that has since gone out of business and an individual who was the principal owner of that business.

In February 2009 the Company received a favorable verdict against Crane Composites, Inc. f/k/a Kemlite for breach of contract and multiple warranty claims arising from the sale of defective sidewall material to All American Group, Inc. subsidiaries. All of the counts alleged in the original complaint were found in favor of the Company. On April 17, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crane Composites, Inc., f/k/a Kemlite, with respect to this verdict rendered in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the liability portion of this lawsuit.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Crane Composites paid the Company a total of $17.75 million in three installments, with the first installment of $10 million paid on May 8, 2009, the second installment of $3.875 million on June 1, 2009 and the final installment of $3.875 million on July 1, 2009.

The settlement with Crane Composites, Inc. resulted in income of $14.9 million net of contingent attorney fees recorded in the first quarter of 2009.  The parent Company acquired the claims that were subject to the settlement for fair value from its RV Group subsidiaries during the fourth quarter of 2008, prior to trial.  Because the settlement is related to damages originally incurred by the recreational vehicle business, accounting rules required the Company to record this income under discontinued operations, even though the settlement is owned by the parent Company and not the RV Group.

The Company was named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits alleging that the plaintiffs were exposed to levels of formaldehyde in FEMA-supplied trailers manufactured by the Company's subsidiaries (and other manufacturers) and that such exposure entitles plaintiffs to an award, including injunctive relief, a court-supervised medical monitoring fund, removal of formaldehyde-existing materials, repair and testing, compensatory, punitive and other damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs. The litigation proceeded through the class certification process. In December 2008, class certification was denied.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued.

In the third quarter of 2008, as a result of the favorable settlement of a lawsuit involving an insurance recovery, the Company recorded income of approximately $0.4 million. During the second quarter of 2008, as a result of the favorable settlement of two lawsuits involving insurance recoveries, the Company recorded income of approximately $1.0 million. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company also recorded income of approximately $1.0 million as a result of the favorable settlement of two lawsuits involving insurance recoveries. These favorable settlements are classified as a reduction to general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings, most of which are ordinary disputes incidental to the industry and most of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters and any liabilities in excess of insurance coverage and self-insurance accruals will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, future business operations or cash flows.
 
10.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.

The Company has not granted any stock option awards since 2003. Compensation expense related to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not significant for 2010 or 2009. Compensation expense related to prior year restricted stock grants was not material for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
11.  RESTRICTED CASH.

The Company had $12.7 million and $14.8 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

12.  DEBT.

On April 9, 2009, All American Group, Inc. and Lake City Bank entered into an agreement for a $2 million three-year note in exchange for cash loaned to the Company by Lake City Bank.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, bears interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum, and has a maturity date of April 9, 2012.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount outstanding was approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

On April 9, 2009, All American Group, Inc. gave a promissory note to Lake City Bank in connection with the bank’s provision of a $0.5 million working capital line of credit.  The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, and borrowings against this line will bear interest at a variable rate, with a minimum interest rate of 5% per annum.  This line of credit has a maturity date of March 31, 2012.  At September 30, 2010, $0.5 million was outstanding on this line, and at December 31, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit.

Convertible Debt Loan Agreement

On October 27, 2009, the Company completed a two-year $20.0 million loan agreement as borrowers with H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) for $10.0 million of senior secured revolving notes and $10.0 million of convertible debt (Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes).  This loan agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. As part of the Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes, the Company also issued to H.I.G. an aggregate of approximately 6.7 million Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at a price of $0.00001 per share upon the occurrence of a triggering event (as defined in the agreement) and prior to the tenth anniversary from the date of the loan agreement.  The revolving notes bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 5%, payable in cash monthly.  The convertible debt bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, payable in either cash semiannually or as PIK interest that accrues and increases the principal amount.  All principal and accrued interest on the Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of H.I.G. and is exercisable at any time up until the end of the two-year term of the notes at the conversion price of $0.979 per share, the 90-day average stock price prior to the Letter of Intent. The warrants and Tranche B Note both contain anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issues in excess of 16,403,409 shares of its common stock.
 
The Company recorded a debt discount on the convertible notes for the full $10.0 million due to the issuance of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants, as well as the existence of a beneficial conversion feature.  The interest due to H.I.G. on the convertible debt on the March 30, 2010 due date was $0.9 million, and was added to the Note balance as PIK interest.  As a result, at March 31, 2010, the Tranche B Note could be converted into 11,082,737 shares and the Warrant could be exercised for 6,871,536 shares, due to the anti-dilution protection.

At March 31, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature and the additional shares resulting from the PIK interest resulted in an additional $3.5 million being recorded as a liability and an additional non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the increase in the Company’s stock price between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company failed to meet certain financial covenants of the H.I.G. All American Credit Agreement. H.I.G. did not declare the Company to be in default of any covenant and on April 5, 2010, the Company and H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). In the First Amendment, H.I.G. waived specified Events of Default that had occurred under the Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009 between the Company and H.I.G. prior to April 5, 2010.   

First Amendment to the Loan Agreement

The Company and H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”) on April 5, 2010. The Company issued a new warrant to purchase up to 9,557,939 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Warrant”) exercisable at a price $0.00001 per share as consideration to H.I.G. for entering into the First Amendment. The warrant originally issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Original Warrant”) and the Tranche B Note were amended and restated to reflect the anti-dilution adjustments that occurred as a result of the issuance of the New Warrant. The Original Warrant, as amended, could be exercised for 10,925,926 shares, and the Tranche B Note now can be converted into 17,728,758 shares (including PIK interest due March 30, 2010). The amended and restated Original Warrant, the New Warrant and the amended and restated Tranche B Note all contain anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issues in excess of 16,403,409 shares of its common stock. The outstanding principal of the amended and restated Tranche B Note (including PIK interest) is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the initial conversion price of $0.612 per share.

12.  DEBT, Continued.
 
The First Amendment revised covenants and contains other modifications to the credit agreement. As a result of the modifications, the Company will only have partial access to the $10 million revolving line of credit, for specified purposes, until the Company is in compliance with the original financial covenants of the loan agreement.

The First Amendment has been accounted for as a debt extinguishment of the original debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company determined that the fair value of the new debt resulting from the First Amendment on April 5, 2010 to be approximately $8.4 million, while the face value of the debt continues to be $10.9 million.  In determining the fair value of the new debt, the Company used a discount rate of 40%, representing the expected rate of return adjusted for risk. The difference between the fair value of the new debt and its previous carrying value and the unamortized closing costs related to the old debt resulted in a charge of $7.3 million being recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.  The Company recorded a debt discount on the convertible notes related to the First Amendment for the difference between the face value of $10.9 million and the fair value of $8.4 million. The amortization of the $2.5 million in debt discounts will be reported as an increase in debt and additional interest expense over the remaining term of the loan agreement. Amortization of debt discount on the original and First Amendment convertible notes amounted to $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2010. The remaining unamortized discount was $1.7 million at September 30, 2010.
 
The additional 6.6 million shares that the Tranche B Note can be converted into along with the additional warrants to purchase 13.6 million shares had a fair value of approximately $26.8 million as of the April 5, 2010 agreement date, which increased the Company’s  derivative instrument liabilities and increased additional non-cash interest expense.
 
The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were $10.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010, and $7.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009 and are recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature resulted in $30.3 million being recorded as a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price between April 5, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, the net impact of the First Amendment and fair value valuation adjustments resulted in a reduction to net interest of $3.6 million.

Warrant Exercise and New Warrant

On August 3, 2010, H.I.G. All American, LLC (“H.I.G.”) exercised all of the warrants issued to them up to that date to purchase 20,483,865 shares of the Company’s common stock for $204.84 in connection with the Convertible Debt Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009. As a result of the shares purchased by H.I.G., as of September 30, 2010, a total of 36,750,083 shares of common stock are outstanding, of which H.I.G. holds 55.7%.  The exercise of the warrants resulted in a decrease to the derivative liability related to the warrants and an increase to common stock of $8.6 million. The carrying value of the derivative liability related to the warrants was $10.4 million on August 3, 2010, while the fair value was $8.6 million, which resulted in a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense of $1.8 million.
 
On August 5, 2010, in connection with the exercise of warrants by H.I.G., the Company issued a new warrant (the “New Warrant”) to H.I.G. that is exercisable for the number of shares necessary to maintain H.I.G.’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common shares if the Company issues, on a fully diluted basis, more than 36,887,274 common shares. The New Warrant was issued pursuant to anti-dilution provisions contained in the original Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009. The Company has determined that the new warrant is a derivative financial instrument. The Company has valued this warrant at $9.0 million which represents the fair value of the 25.6 million shares that would be exercisable when the convertible debt is converted to common shares. The Company does not believe, at this time, that any additional shares will be issued under the new warrant agreement during the remaining life of the debt agreement; and therefore, no additional shares have been assumed to be issued under the anti-dilution provision contained in the new warrant agreement.

Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement

Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 failed to meet the revised debt covenants set with H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) in the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement. H.I.G. has waived the covenant defaults through July 31, 2010 in exchange for a waiver fee and expenses of $0.8 million representing the value of the penalties prescribed in the First Amendment, plus expenses, and the issuance on August 24, 2010 of the Second Amended and Restated Tranche B Note (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provides that the waiver fee and expenses, plus accrued interest on the convertible debt thru August 24, 2010 of $0.8 million, be added to the principal amount of the convertible note. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Tranche B Note has a face value of $12.5 million. The Company announced on November 8, 2010 that it has agreed to be acquired by affiliates of All American Group Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of H.I.G. All American, LLC, in a merger (see Note 13 Subsequent Events). Since the Company is not in compliance with the existing covenants, the convertible note is recorded as a current liability in current maturities of long-term debt and the fair value of derivative instruments relating to the new warrant and conversion feature was also recorded as a current liability.

In accordance with the anti-dilution provisions contained in the original Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009, as a result of the Second Amendment of August 24, 2010, the Tranche B Note can be converted into a total of 20.5 million shares, or an additional 2.8 million shares. As of the Second Amendment date of August 24, 2010, the additional 2.8 million shares associated with the Tranche B Note and the maximum 25.6 million shares related to the New Warrant that is exercisable to the extent that the debt is converted had a fair value of $9.1 million, which increased the Company’s derivative instrument liabilities and increased additional non-cash interest expense.

The fair value of the new warrant and the beneficial conversion feature were $5.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010, and $7.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009 and are recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature resulted in $5.0 million being recorded as a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price between July 1, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

The interest due to H.I.G. on the convertible debt on the October 30, 2010 payment date was $0.4 million, and was added to the Note balance as PIK interest. At October 30, 2010, as a result of the PIK interest and due to the anti-dilution provisions, the Tranche B Note can be converted into an additional 0.6 million shares and the warrant that is exercisable to the extent the debt is converted increases an additional 0.7 million shares.

13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.
 
The Company announced on November 8, 2010 that it has agreed to be acquired by affiliates of All American Group Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of H.I.G. All American, LLC, in a merger that would result in the Company’s shareholders (other than H.I.G. and shareholders that perfect their dissenters' rights under Indiana law) receiving $0.20 per share in cash, and all shareholders (other than shareholders that perfect their dissenters' rights under Indiana law) receiving an interest in a liquidating trust that will have a contingent right to receive proceeds from the sale of the Company’s specialty vehicle business.
 
Upon closing of the merger, the specialty vehicle business will be offered for sale.  The surviving corporation is not required to sell the specialty vehicle business unless the net proceeds to the surviving corporation are at least $12 million. The Company can make no assurance that this amount will be achieved or that there will be a sale. The sale of the specialty vehicle business will be negotiated on behalf of the Company by a sale committee. The special committee of the Company's Board of Directors will appoint two out of three members of the sale committee that will have the authority to find a buyer for the specialty vehicle business and negotiate the sale of such business.
 
The sale committee has nine months from the effective time of the merger to execute a letter of intent with a potential buyer and consummate the sale of the specialty vehicle business within 90 days thereafter. The excess sale proceeds, if any, over $5 million will be deposited in the liquidating trust for distribution to all former AAG shareholders pro rata (in addition to the $0.20 per share to be paid to the non-HIG Shareholders in connection with the closing of the merger). The Company cannot give assurance that the sale of the assets will be completed within the required time frame or that it will bring a sufficient amount of net sale proceeds to provide the shareholders any additional consideration.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $16.7 million, an increase of 3.9% from the $16.1 million reported for the corresponding quarter last year. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $57.8 million, representing an increase of $12.7 million, or 28.2%, reported for the same period of 2009.

The Company’s Housing Segment experienced a net sales decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of 15.7%, from $12.1 million during the third quarter of 2009 to $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 3.9%, from $37.2 million during the first nine months of 2009 to $38.7 million for the comparable period of 2010, due mainly to the impact of major project revenues in the first quarter of 2010 offsetting the continued weakness in traditional single-family housing markets.

The Company’s Specialty Vehicle Segment, through a joint venture with ARBOC Mobility, manufactures a line of low floor ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)-compliant buses under the Spirit of Mobility brand name. Net sales for the Specialty Vehicle Segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $6.5 million compared to $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2009, a 63.9% increase. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 142.8%, from $7.9 million during the first nine months of 2009 to $19.1 million for the first nine months of 2010. The significant increase is a result of the special features available only on the ARBOC Mobility product offering and that it has just recently become available in the market.
 
COST OF SALES

Cost of sales from continuing operations increased 1.6%, or $0.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 103.5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to 105.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The corresponding gross loss declined to $(0.6) million or (3.5)% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the loss of $(0.9) million or (5.9)% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $56.5 million, or 97.7% compared to $47.3 million or 104.8% for the same nine-month period in 2009. The corresponding gross profit increased to $1.3 million or 2.3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $(2.2) million or (4.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Gross profit was positively impacted in the first nine months of 2010 by increased sales and a corresponding production volume increase, primarily in the Specialty Vehicle Segment, resulting in improved utilization of the Company's manufacturing facilities yielding improvement in operating leverage.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses from continuing operations, which include selling, general and administrative expenses, were 24.2% and 24.5% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 19.4% and 25.9% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Selling expenses were $1.3 million and 7.7% of net sales for the 2010 third quarter compared to $1.1 million and 6.7% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, selling expenses were $3.7 million and 6.4% compared to $2.7 million and 6.0% for the same nine-month period in 2009. The increase in selling expenses for the three and nine-month periods of 2010 versus 2009 was primarily due to increased sales efforts, including advertising and sales promotion expenses,  which were a response to the continuing downturn in the economy and housing markets, as the Company endeavored to increase sales revenue.
 
General and administrative expenses were $2.7 million and 16.5% of net sales for the 2010 third quarter compared to $2.9 million and 17.8% for the 2009 corresponding quarter. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $7.5 million or 13.0% compared to $9.0 million or 19.9% for the same nine-month period in 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine-month periods of 2010 versus 2009 was primarily the result of reduced payroll related expenses and, for the first nine months, a reduction in bad debt expense.

OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $(4.5) million and (27.2)% of sales compared to $(4.9) million and (30.4)% of sales in the third quarter of 2009, while operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 improved by 29.5% or $4.0 million to a loss of $(9.8) million and (16.9)% of revenue compared to a loss of $(13.8) million and (30.7)% of revenue for the comparable nine-month period in 2009.

NONOPERATNG INCOME AND EXPENSE

Nonoperating expense was $3.8 million and $0.3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was primarily due to transactions and adjustments regarding the Company’s convertible debt, consisting of a non-cash interest expense of $3.1 million, due to anti-dilution protection and fair value adjustments to warrants and the beneficial conversion feature (see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Nonoperating expense was $13.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the non-cash interest expense due to anti-dilution protection and fair value adjustments to warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of $3.0 million, a non-cash debt extinguishment loss of $7.3 million, plus non-cash interest expense due to accretion of debt discount of $2.0 million and interest expense accruals on the convertible notes of $1.6 million which is offset by $0.3 million attributable to interest income related to a tax refund claim.

PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 was $(8.4) million and $(23.2) million compared with pre-tax loss of $(5.2) million and $(14.2) million in the corresponding periods of 2009.  The increased pre-tax loss was primarily due to the non-cash nonoperatng expenses as discussed above.

INCOME TAXES

During the 3rd quarter of 2010 the Company determined as a result of this settlement $0.3 million of state Research & Experimentation credits from 1999 through 2004 were no longer available.  Through the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010 the Company also recognized a net tax benefit in the amount of $0.2 million resulting from several miscellaneous adjustments such as federal and state tax payables and receivables, and deferred tax liabilities.

The ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income is dependent on a number of factors and complex regulations.  Certain limitations may be placed on net operating loss carryforwards as a result of “changes in control” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally, after a change in control, a corporation cannot deduct NOL carryforwards in excess of the Section 382 limitation.  Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of NOL carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company has not performed a Section 382 analysis, however management believes that certain changes in control may have occurred which may result in limitations on utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets because, based on the weight of available evidence including continued operating losses, it is more likely than not that not all of the deferred tax assets will be realized (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In February 2009 the Company received a favorable verdict against Crane Composites, Inc. f/k/a Kemlite for breach of contract and multiple warranty claims arising from the sale of defective sidewall material to All American Group, Inc. subsidiaries. All of the counts alleged in the original complaint were found in favor of the Company. On April 17, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crane Composites, Inc., f/k/a Kemlite, with respect to this verdict rendered in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the liability portion of this lawsuit.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Crane Composites paid the Company a total of $17.75 million in three installments, with the first installment of $10 million paid on May 8, 2009, the second installment of $3.875 million on June 1, 2009 and the final installment of $3.875 million on July 1, 2009.

The settlement with Crane Composites, Inc. resulted in income of $14.7 million net of contingent attorney fees and taxes recorded in the first quarter of 2009.  The parent Company acquired the claims that were subject to the settlement for fair value from its RV Group subsidiaries during the fourth quarter of 2008, prior to trial.  Because the settlement is related to damages originally incurred by the recreational vehicle business, accounting rules required the Company to record this income under discontinued operations, even though the settlement is owned by the parent Company and not the RV Group.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 was ($8.2) million (a loss of ($0.40) per diluted share) and $(22.9) million (a loss of $(1.12) per diluted share) compared to net loss from continuing operations of ($5.2) million (a loss of ($0.32) per diluted share) and $(14.1) million (a loss of $(0.89) per diluted share)  for 2009.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $(8.5) million (a loss of $(0.41) per diluted share) compared to net loss of $(3.9) million (a loss of $(0.24) per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2009. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $(23.8) million (a loss of $(1.16) per diluted share) compared to net profit of $1.2 million (a profit of $0.07 per diluted share) for the corresponding period of 2009.
 
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company generally relies on funds from operations and availability from various lines of credit, previously including cash surrender value of life insurance policies, as its primary sources of working capital and liquidity. During 2009 the Company determined it to be most advantageous to surrender the majority of Company-owned life insurance policies effective October 2009. As a result, the Company received the cash surrender value of the policies redeemed, and eliminated the related borrowings, associated interest expense and future premium obligations on the policies. At December 31, 2009 the carrying amount of the remaining life insurance policies, which equaled their fair value, was $0.5 million ($6.0 million less $5.5 million of policy loans).  Additional Company-owned life insurance policies were surrendered during January 2010, resulting in the Company receiving $0.4 million cash in the first quarter of 2010. At June 30, 2010, the value of the remaining life insurance policies, which equaled their fair value, was $0.1 million.

At September 30, 2010, working capital decreased to $4.6 million from $31.5 million at December 31, 2009. The $12.8 million decrease in current assets at September 30, 2010 versus December 31, 2009 was primarily due to decreases in inventories and cash and restricted cash. The $14.1 million increase in current liabilities at September 30, 2010 versus December 31, 2009 was primarily due to increases related to the convertible debt, resulting in current maturities of long-term debt increasing by $10.8 million and the fair value of derivative instruments increasing $6.6 million (see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This was partially offset by a decrease in accrued warranty and insurance (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

On October 18, 2010 the financial institution that finances the Company’s consigned chassis inventory used for bus production suspended the Company’s credit line. These consigned chassis are purchased from an automobile manufacturer under a converter pool agreement. On December 6, 2010, this financial institution agreed to reinstate this credit facility through March 31, 2011. This reinstatement required additional letters of credit to support this credit facility, and the Company has posted cash collateral to support the letters of credit.
 
On April 9, 2009, All American Group, Inc. and Lake City Bank entered into an agreement for a $2 million three-year note in exchange for cash loaned to the Company by Lake City Bank. The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, bears interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum, and has a maturity date of April 9, 2012. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount outstanding was approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

On April 9, 2009, All American Group, Inc. gave a promissory note to Lake City Bank in connection with the bank’s provision of a $0.5 million working capital line of credit. The note is fully collateralized by certain properties, and borrowings against this line will bear interest at a variable rate, with a minimum interest rate of 5% per annum. This line of credit has a maturity date of March 31, 2012. At September 30, 2010, $0.5 million was outstanding on this line, and at December 31, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit.

Convertible Debt Loan Agreement

On October 27, 2009, the Company completed a two-year $20.0 million loan agreement as borrowers with H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) for $10.0 million of senior secured revolving notes and $10.0 million of convertible debt (Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes).  This loan agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. As part of the Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes, the Company also issued to H.I.G. an aggregate of approximately 6.7 million Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at a price of $0.00001 per share upon the occurrence of a triggering event (as defined in the agreement) and prior to the tenth anniversary from the date of the loan agreement.  The revolving notes bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 5%, payable in cash monthly.  The convertible debt bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, payable in either cash semiannually or as PIK interest that accrues and increases the principal amount.  All principal and accrued interest on the Secured Subordinated Convertible Tranche B Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of H.I.G. and is exercisable at any time up until the end of the two-year term of the notes at the conversion price of $0.979 per share, the 90-day average stock price prior to the Letter of Intent. The warrants and Tranche B Note both contain anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issues in excess of 16,403,409 shares of its common stock.
 
The Company recorded a debt discount on the convertible notes for the full $10.0 million due to the issuance of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants, as well as the existence of a beneficial conversion feature.  The interest due to H.I.G. on the convertible debt on the March 30, 2010 due date was $0.9 million, and was added to the Note balance as PIK interest.  As a result, at March 31, 2010, the Tranche B Note could be converted into 11,082,737 shares and the Warrant could be exercised for 6,871,536 shares, due to the anti-dilution protection.

At March 31, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature and the additional shares resulting from the PIK interest resulted in an additional $3.5 million being recorded as a liability and an additional non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the increase in the Company’s stock price between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company failed to meet certain financial covenants of the H.I.G. All American Credit Agreement. H.I.G. did not declare the Company to be in default of any covenant and on April 5, 2010, the Company and H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). In the First Amendment, H.I.G. waived specified Events of Default that had occurred under the Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009 between the Company and H.I.G. prior to April 5, 2010.

First Amendment to the Loan Agreement

The Company and H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”) on April 5, 2010. The Company issued a new warrant to purchase up to 9,557,939 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Warrant”) exercisable at a price $0.00001 per share as consideration to H.I.G. for entering into the First Amendment. The warrant originally issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Original Warrant”) and the Tranche B Note were amended and restated to reflect the anti-dilution adjustments that occurred as a result of the issuance of the New Warrant. The Original Warrant, as amended, could be exercised for 10,925,926 shares, and the Tranche B Note now can be converted into 17,728,758 shares (including PIK interest due March 30, 2010). The amended and restated Original Warrant, the New Warrant and the amended and restated Tranche B Note all contain anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issues in excess of 16,403,409 shares of its common stock. The outstanding principal of the amended and restated Tranche B Note (including PIK interest) is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the initial conversion price of $0.612 per share.

The First Amendment revised covenants and contains other modifications to the credit agreement. As a result of the modifications, the Company will only have partial access to the $10 million revolving line of credit, for specified purposes, until the Company is in compliance with the original financial covenants of the loan agreement.

The First Amendment has been accounted for as a debt extinguishment of the original debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company determined that the fair value of the new debt resulting from the First Amendment on April 5, 2010 to be approximately $8.4 million, while the face value of the debt continues to be $10.9 million.  In determining the fair value of the new debt, the Company used a discount rate of 40%, representing the expected rate of return adjusted for risk. The difference between the fair value of the new debt and its previous carrying value and the unamortized closing costs related to the old debt resulted in a charge of $7.3 million being recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.  The Company recorded a debt discount on the convertible notes related to the First Amendment for the difference between the face value of $10.9 million and the fair value of $8.4 million. The amortization of the $2.5 million in debt discounts will be reported as an increase in debt and additional interest expense over the remaining term of the loan agreement. Amortization of debt discount on the original and First Amendment convertible notes amounted to $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2010. The remaining unamortized discount was $1.7 million at September 30, 2010.
 
The additional 6.6 million shares that the Tranche B Note can be converted into along with the additional warrants to purchase 13.6 million shares had a fair value of approximately $26.8 million as of the April 5, 2010 agreement date, which increased the Company’s  derivative instrument liabilities and increased additional non-cash interest expense.
 
The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were $10.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010, and $7.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009 and are recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature resulted in $30.3 million being recorded as a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price between April 5, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, the net impact of the First Amendment and fair value valuation adjustments resulted in a reduction to net interest of $3.6 million.

Warrant Exercise and New Warrant

On August 3, 2010, H.I.G. All American, LLC (“H.I.G.”) exercised all of the warrants issued to them up to that date to purchase 20,483,865 shares of the Company’s common stock for $204.84 in connection with the Convertible Debt Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009. As a result of the shares purchased by H.I.G., as of September 30, 2010, a total of 36,750,083 shares of common stock are outstanding, of which H.I.G. holds 55.7%.  The exercise of the warrants resulted in a decrease to the derivative liability related to the warrants and an increase to common stock of $8.6 million. The carrying value of the derivative liability related to the warrants was $10.4 million on August 3, 2010, while the fair value was $8.6 million, which resulted in a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense of $1.8 million.
 
On August 5, 2010, in connection with the exercise of warrants by H.I.G., the Company issued a new warrant (the “New Warrant”) to H.I.G. that is exercisable for the number of shares necessary to maintain H.I.G.’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common shares if the Company issues, on a fully diluted basis, more than 36,887,274 common shares. The New Warrant was issued pursuant to anti-dilution provisions contained in the original Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009. The Company has determined that the new warrant is a derivative financial instrument. The Company has valued this warrant at $9.0 million which represents the fair value of the 25.6 million shares that would be exercisable when the convertible debt is converted to common shares. The Company does not believe, at this time, that any additional shares will be issued under the new warrant agreement during the remaining life of the debt agreement; and therefore, no additional shares have been assumed to be issued under the anti-dilution provision contained in the new warrant agreement.

Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement

Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 failed to meet the revised debt covenants set with H.I.G. All American, LLC (H.I.G.) in the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement. H.I.G. has waived the covenant defaults through July 31, 2010 in exchange for a waiver fee and expenses of $0.8 million representing the value of the penalties prescribed in the First Amendment, plus expenses, and the issuance on August 24, 2010 of the Second Amended and Restated Tranche B Note (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provides that the waiver fee and expenses, plus accrued interest on the convertible debt thru August 24, 2010 of $0.8 million, be added to the principal amount of the convertible note. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Tranche B Note has a face value of $12.5 million. The Company announced on November 8, 2010 that it has agreed to be acquired by affiliates of All American Group Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of H.I.G. All American, LLC, in a merger (see Note 13 Subsequent Events). Since the Company is not in compliance with the existing covenants, the convertible note is recorded as a current liability in current maturities of long-term debt and the fair value of derivative instruments relating to the warrants and conversion feature was also recorded as a current liability.
 
In accordance with the anti-dilution provisions contained in the original Loan Agreement dated October 27, 2009, as a result of the Second Amendment of August 24, 2010, the Tranche B Note can be converted into a total of 20.5 million shares, or an additional 2.8 million shares. As of the Second Amendment date of August 24, 2010, the additional 2.8 million shares associated with the Tranche B Note and the maximum 25.6 million shares related to the New Warrant that is exercisable to the extent that the debt is converted had a fair value of $9.1 million, which increased the Company’s derivative instrument liabilities and increased additional non-cash interest expense.

The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were $5.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010, and $7.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009 and are recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2010, the fair value adjustment to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature resulted in $5.0 million being recorded as a reduction to the derivative instruments liability and a reduction in non-cash interest expense primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price between July 1, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company's estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the Company’s more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Company’s 10-K Report for the year ended December 31, 2009. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, there was no material change in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

This Form 10-Q Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are dependent on various factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. These uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:

the availability and cost of real estate for residential housing;
the increased size and scope of work of major projects, as compared to the Company's traditional single-family homes business, with increased reliance on third parties for performance which could impact the Company; 
the ability to perform in new market segments or geographic areas where it has limited experience;
the over supply of existing homes and the inventory of foreclosed properties within the Company’s markets;
changing government regulations, including those covering accounting standards;
environmental matters or product warranties and recalls, which may affect costs of operations, revenues, product acceptance and profitability;

the Company’s ability to increase gross margins which are critical whether or not there are increased sales;
the Company’s use of incentives at either the wholesale or retail level;
the dependence on key customers within certain product types;

In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company must disclose or reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results may therefore appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. The foregoing lists are not exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

At times, the Company's actual performance differs materially from its projections and estimates regarding the economy, the specialty vehicle and housing industries and other key performance indicators. Readers of this Report are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statements involves risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company's objectives will be achieved.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing and investing yields.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.8 million that was used to convert the variable interest rates on an industrial development revenue bond to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a 3.71% interest rate, and receives the Bond Market Association Index (BMA), calculated on the notional amount, with net receipts or payments being recognized as adjustments to interest expense. This swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and effectively converts a portion of the Company's variable-rate borrowing to a fixed-rate basis through November of 2011, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreement represents the estimated receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements. A cumulative gain of approximately $22,000, net of taxes, attributable to changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. In October 2009, the interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.8 million that was used to convert the variable interest rates on an industrial development revenue bond to a fixed rate was terminated and paid.  Additionally, the associated industrial revenue bond of $1.8 million, plus another industrial revenue bond in the amount of $0.9 million were paid in full on November 1, 2009 utilizing restricted cash held for that purpose.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company implemented a new business and financial system that replaced our previous business and financial system. We have updated our control documentation to reflect the new system and the related impact on our business processes, and we believe that we have designed adequate controls into and around the new system. These controls are essentially unchanged and are effective.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), other than the new business and financial system described above during the periods covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
