NOTE 4. LONG-TERM DEBT

On January 31, 1996, the Company issued $50 million of unsecured 6.41%
Series A Senior Notes due on January 31, 2003. The proceeds were used to
repay amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving line of credit.

In addition, during June, 1996, the Finance Company concluded a one-year
extension of its existing $50 million secured, revolving bank line of credit
which will now expire on June 10, 1997, at which time the terms of the credit
facility can be renegotiated, or at the election of the Finance Company, the
outstanding principal balance can be paid down in 36 equal monthly
installments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 decreased $53 million or 27%
compared to the same period in 1995 and were $69 million or 19% lower for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding period in
1995. The decreased sales for the second quarter and six month period were
primarily attributable to a decrease in new trailer sales of $59.9 million and
$81.8 million, respectively, offset in part by an increase in sales of used
trailers which were previously under lease by the Finance Company of $6 million
and $11 million, respectively. The decreases in new trailer sales of $59.9
million and $81.8 million for the three and six month periods, respectively,
were caused by a 31% and 24% decrease in units sold, primarily as a result of
weak market conditions in the domestic trailer industry and decreased production
on the Company's plate trailer line as a result of a limited supply of composite
material for the Company's newly introduced composite plate trailer. New
trailer sales in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995
were further impacted by a 2.7% decrease in the average sales price per new
trailer sold, reflecting the shift in production mix during the quarter to lower
priced doubles and away from higher priced plate trailers. For the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, the average sales price per new trailer sold was
approximately even with the same period in 1995. The Finance Company's lease
portfolio increased from 6,800 new trailers at June 30, 1995 to 7,083 trailers
at June 30, 1996. Lease revenues, for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996, excluding revenue from the sale of leased trailers, are even with
revenues in the same periods in 1995. Revenues from aftermarket parts sales
increased 30% and 17% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996
compared to the same periods in 1995. The increase in aftermarket parts sales
reflects the Company's strategy of continuing to increase its independent dealer
network and branch operations.

9


Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of sales totaled 4.2% for the second quarter
of 1996 compared to 8.8% for the same period in 1995. The gross profit margin
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 as a percentage of sales was 5.0%
versus 8.7% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in the gross profit
percentage in 1996 reflects the decrease in sales volume, changes in product
mix and increased costs related to the significant expansion of capacity during
1995. The expansion related costs included, among other things, increased
depreciation and labor in both the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996.

Income From Operations

Income from operations for the three and six month period ended June 30,
1996 as a percentage of net sales was 2.1% and 3.0% compared to 7.4% and 8.7%
for the same period in 1995. Income from operations in 1996 was impacted
primarily by the decrease in the gross profit margins previously discussed.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and six month period ended June 30, 1996
totaled $2.9 million and $5.5 million compared to $1.5 million and $2.5 million
for the same period in 1995. The increase in interest expense primarily
reflects new term and bank line of credit debt associated with the growth in
the leasing operations and working capital requirements, primarily due to the
increase in inventory.

Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 of $.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, represents 41.0%
and 39.3% of pre-tax income for the periods compared to the provision of $5.1
million and $9.8 million, or 38.9% and 39.6% of pretax income, respectively,
for the same periods in 1995. The effective tax rates are higher than the
Federal statutory rates of 35% due primarily to state income taxes.

10


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, net
cash used in operating activities was $31.3 million during the first six months
of 1996 primarily as a result of changes in working capital resulting from
increases in accounts receivable and inventory coupled with a decrease in
accounts payable. These changes in working capital were primarily the result
of the continued weakness in the domestic trailer market as well as the
Company's focus on new product introduction.

During the first six months of 1996, the lease portfolio (finance
contracts and equipment leased to others) increased $9.4 million, as the
Company continued to expand its leasing operations. In addition, the Company
used $4.7 million of cash for capital expenditures during the first six months
of 1996, principally for the purpose of achieving increased manufacturing
capacity and improved manufacturing productivity.

At June 30, 1996, the Company's total debt was $137.8 million compared to
$86.3 million at December 31, 1995. The net increase in the Company's debt
primarily reflects new term and bank line of credit debt associated the
increased working capital requirements due to higher receivables and inventory
levels. Also, during January, 1996, the Company issued $50 million of
unsecured 6.41% Series A Senior Notes due January 31,2003 and used the proceeds
to repay amounts under the Company's revolving line of credit.

On April 27, 1995, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
authorized a common stock repurchase plan of up to $30 million in the
aggregate. The Company may purchase its common stock in the open market or in
block transactions from time to time as it deems appropriate.

Other sources of funds for capital expenditures, continued expansion of
businesses, potential contingent payments associated with the acquisition of
RoadRailer technology, dividends, principal repayments on debt, stock
repurchase and working capital requirements are expected to be cash from
operations, additional borrowings under the credit facilities and term
borrowings which are negotiated by the Finance Company related to specific new
lease arrangements. The Company believes that these funding sources will be
adequate for its anticipated requirements.


8
11


BACKLOG

The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $590 million
at June 30, 1996 and $1,028 million at December 31, 1995. The Company builds
trailers to customer order and does not maintain an inventory of new trailers
built in anticipation of future orders. The Company's backlog represents the
amount of orders the Company believes to be firm. Such orders may be subject
to extension, delay or cancellation under certain circumstances.
