Item 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

Drew Industries Incorporated ("Drew" or the "Company"), through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Kinro, Inc., manufactures and markets aluminum and
vinyl windows for manufactured homes, and aluminum and vinyl windows and doors
for recreational vehicles.

See "Recent Events" for a discussion of the Company's February 1996
acquisition of Shoals Supply, Inc. which manufactures and distributes new and
refurbished axles and tires, and new chassis parts, for the manufactured housing
industry.

The Company's principal executive and administrative offices are
located at 200 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, New York, 10601; telephone
number (914) 428-9098.

In connection with the spin-off of Leslie Building Products, Inc. by
the Company, which was effective on July 29, 1994, the Company and Leslie
Building Products entered into a Shared Services Agreement. Pursuant to the
Shared Services Agreement, for a period of two years following the spin-off, the
Company and Leslie Building Products agreed to share certain administrative
functions and employee services, such as management overview and planning, tax
preparation, financial reporting, coordination of independent audit, stockholder
relations, and regulatory matters. The Company is reimbursed by Leslie Building
Products for the fair market value of such services. The Shared Services
Agreement may be extended under certain circumstances.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Kinro, acquired by the Company in October 1980, initially manufactured
only aluminum primary and storm windows for the manufactured housing industry.
Since 1982, Kinro acquired additional manufacturers of aluminum windows for
manufactured housing and manufacturers of doors and windows for recreational
vehicles, and developed its own capacity to manufacture screens for its window
products. In 1993, Kinro commenced production of vinyl windows in addition to
aluminum windows.

Each of the businesses acquired by Kinro expanded Kinro's geographic
market and product line, and, in certain instances, added manufacturing
facilities. All manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions of the
acquired businesses were integrated with those of Kinro. Although definitive
information is not readily available, the Company believes that the two leading
manufacturers of windows for manufactured housing within the United States are
Kinro and Philips Industries, Inc., and that there are approximately 10
significant suppliers of windows and doors for the recreational vehicle
industry, several of which are substantially larger than Kinro.

In November 1995, Kinro acquired the assets and business of Star Window
(Elkhart, Indiana), a privately-owned manufacturer of windows for mini buses
with pre-acquisition annual revenues of less than $1 million. The acquisition of
Star Window represents a new product line for Kinro. Kinro intends to expand the
operations of Star Window in a new facility currently being built in Goshen,
Indiana, which will also be utilized to expand Kinro's existing operations.

Raw materials used by Kinro, consisting of extruded aluminum, glass,
vinyl and various adhesive and insulating components, are readily available from
a number of sources. Kinro, through the Company, maintains an aluminum hedging
program under which it purchases futures contracts on the London Metals Exchange
to hedge the prices of a portion of its anticipated aluminum requirements.

Kinro's operations consist primarily of fabricating and assembling the
components into the finished windows, doors and screens. Kinro's line of
products is sold by eight sales personnel, working exclusively for Kinro, to
major builders of manufactured housing, such as Clayton Homes, Inc., Oakwood
Homes Corporation and Redman Industries, Inc., and to major manufacturers of
recreational vehicles such as Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., Thor Industries,
Inc., and Skyline Corporation.

Kinro's operations are subject to certain federal, state and local
regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of
hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes. Kinro believes
that it is currently operating in compliance with applicable regulations and
does not believe that costs of compliance with these laws and regulations will
have a material effect upon its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.

Recent Events

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated February 15, 1996 (the
"Agreement"), the Company acquired substantially all the assets and the
business, and assumed certain liabilities, of Shoals Supply, Inc., a
privately-owned Alabama corporation, which manufactures and distributes new and
refurbished axles and fires, and new chasis parts, for the manufactured housing
industry. Simultaneously, the Company assigned all its rights and obligations
pursuant to the Agreement to Shoals Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, the name of which was changed to Shoals Supply, Inc. ("Shoals").
The transaction was consummated on February 15, 1996 (the "Closing Date"). For
1995, the acquired operations had revenues of approximately $57,000,000.

The consideration for the acquired assets and business consisted of
544,959 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share, valued at $7,500,000, which are subject to certain registration rights,
cash in the amount of $1,225,000, and a five-year note in the principal amount
of $760,000. In addition, the Company assumed $7,449,459 of the existing bank
debt of the acquired operations, which the Company discharged on the Closing
Date, and certain other operating liabilities. The consideration was based upon
the fair value of the net assets and business acquired.

The Company issued to certain key employees of Shoals options to
purchase an aggregate of 72,070 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a
purchase price of $13.875 per share, exercisable 20% each year during the
five-year period commencing on the Closing Date, unless terminated or
accelerated upon termination of employment.

Simultaneously with the acquisition, the Company, Shoals and Kinro,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Guaranty and
Security Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, with Chemical Bank (the
"Bank"), pursuant to which Shoals borrowed the principal amount of $5,981,672,
which, together with $3,225,000 of the Company's own funds, was utilized to
consummate the acquisition and discharge the existing bank debt of the acquired
operations. The loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company,
Shoals and Kinro, and is guaranteed by the Company and Kinro. The loan matures
on May 15, 1996. The Company anticipates that the loan will be refinanced at
that time.

Interest on the loan is payable to the Bank, at maturity, at the rate
of, at Shoals' option, (a) the Bank's Prime Rate plus 1/4 of 1%, or (b) a fixed
rate offered from time to time by the Bank, or (c) an adjusted Eurodollar rate
plus 2.25%. Shoals also paid certain additional fees and charges relating to the
loan.

On March 8, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Purchases were made from
time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at
market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. The Company had no commitment
or obligation to purchase any minimum number of shares. The Company purchased
29,850 shares, and the repurchase program terminated on March 7, 1995.

Employees

The approximate number of persons employed full-time by the Company at
December 31, 1995 was as follows:

Drew........................ 6
Kinro....................... 1,034
-----
Total........... 1,040
=====

None of the Company's or Kinro's employees are represented by a union.
The Company and Kinro believe that relations with its employees are good.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

Drew leases its principal executive offices in White Plains, New York,
consisting of approximately 2,800 square feet of office space.

Kinro owns two and leases six manufacturing and warehouse facilities
consisting of an aggregate of approximately 593,000 square feet, in Mansfield,
Texas; Double Springs, Alabama; Liberty, North Carolina; Thomasville, Georgia;
Morraine, Ohio; Syracuse and Elkhart, Indiana; Fontana, California; and Goshen,
Indiana; and leases its corporate offices in Arlington, Texas consisting of
approximately 8,500 square feet of office space. Kinro is currently constructing
a second manufacturing and warehouse facility, consisting of 52,000 square feet,
on land owned by Kinro in Goshen, Indiana.

See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with respect
to the Company's lease obligations as of December 31, 1995.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings which, in the
opinion of Management, could have a material adverse effect on the Company or
its consolidated financial position.

See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with respect
to certain product liability claims pending against White Metal Rolling and
Stamping Corp. ("White Metal"), a subsidiary of Leslie-Locke, arising in
connection with the ladder manufacturing business formerly conducted by White
Metal. Although the Company and Leslie-Locke were named as defendants in certain
actions commenced in connection with these claims, neither the Company nor
Leslie-Locke has been held responsible, and the Company and Leslie-Locke
disclaim any liability for the obligations of White Metal.

See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial statements with respect
to the filing by White Metal, on September 30, 1994, of a voluntary petition
seeking liquidation under the provisions of chapter 7 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. The chapter 7 Trustee of White Metal has alleged that the
Company and its affiliated entities obtained tax benefits in excess of $4.5
million solely attributable to the use of White Metal's net operating losses.
The Trustee has demanded payment on behalf of White Metal in an amount equal to
the value of the tax savings achieved. The Company denies any liability for the
amount claimed by the Trustee and intends to vigorously defend this claim.
Management believes it has substantial and meritorious defenses, however, an
estimate of potential loss, if any, cannot be made at this time.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own
more than ten percent of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the American Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, the
Company believes that during 1995 all such filing requirements applicable to its
officers and directors (the Company not being aware of any ten percent holder

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Drew Industries Incorporated

Under date of February 19, 1996, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets
of Drew Industries Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1995 as contained on pages 13 through 26 in the 1995 annual report to
stockholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are
incorporated by reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1995.
In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the related schedule as listed in Item 14. This
schedule is the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on this schedule based on our audits.

In our opinion, such schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
