PART I
 
 
Our Company
 
We are the largest single site recreational vehicle (“RV”) retailer in the world. In 2007, we sold 6,647 new and pre-owned RVs in the retail market, including Class A motor homes, Class C motor homes, conventional travel trailers and fifth-wheel travel trailers. Class A motor homes are the highest priced class of vehicles in the RV industry and represented 86% of our 2007 new RV revenues. We also generate revenue from commissions earned on vehicle financing and insurance products we sell on behalf of third-party providers, from the service, maintenance and repair of RVs, daily fees paid by customers who utilize our RallyPark campground facilities, and rental revenue from our temporary housing rental program. We operate on a 126-acre site near Tampa, Florida that attracts more than 250,000 visitors annually. We generated 2007 revenues of $778 million.
 
One of our primary strategies is to create “Customers for Life” by offering a unique purchasing experience that combines the largest single-site RV inventory in the world, our one-of-a-kind scenic facility with multiple amenities, and our focused, process oriented approach to servicing the customer. Building a welcoming atmosphere that caters to the entry level as well as the seasoned RV enthusiast is an intangible element critical to our success, and our philosophy is thoroughly ingrained in and continually reinforced throughout our corporate culture at every level. Our unique customer-focused business model has resulted in a loyal, stable and growing customer base and an unrivaled reputation within the RV community. Our ability to generate a significant portion of our annual unit sales from repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals is testimony to the success of this approach.
 
To enhance our guests’ experience, we have developed our facilities with their needs in mind and as a result, our site has become a destination location for RV owners throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. Our facilities feature a number of unique attractions including a 1,200-site outdoor show space of new and pre-owned RVs, a 230-bay RV servicing facility with a 6,600 square foot Service Pavilion that includes professional full-time concierge services, complimentary Starbucks® coffee concession, luxurious seating areas, flat screen televisions and wireless internet connections. At our 299-site RallyPark, we hold over 100 rallies each year and provide our visitors the opportunity to meet and spend time with other RV enthusiasts. In addition, visitors to our site can enjoy complimentary meals at our Italian themed Café, or visit our Learning Center for complimentary seminars. Customers who have purchased a luxury Class A motor home enjoy the exclusive services and amenities of our CrownClub facility and all other buyers become members of our exclusive Club Lazydays. Finally, there are additional attractions located adjacent to our facilities that appeal to RV owners including a Camping World retailer, a Flying J RV Travel Plaza and a Cracker Barrel restaurant. These features and our customer focused philosophy cater to the RV enthusiast community and have allowed us to attract potential RV purchasers from across the United States. In 2007, 42% of our unit sales were to customers that reside outside the state of Florida.
  
Unique Business Model and Customer Focus. Our business model was developed to serve our customers and create “Customers for Life.” An RV purchase is often one of our customers’ most significant purchase decisions and one that we strive to make enjoyable. Our philosophy provides for a unique customer experience to ensure satisfaction and generate loyalty. Additionally, we offer numerous amenities to visitors and customers at our site whether or not they are actively seeking to purchase an RV. We believe our unique business model has allowed Lazydays to become a destination site for RV enthusiasts and RV purchasers from all over North America.
 
Process Driven Sales Organization. We have a talented and experienced sales organization with approximately 150 sales professionals. Our sales professionals benefit from at least one hour of training each business day on specific product features and selling techniques. Our sales professionals’ compensation structure is 100% commission based and is driven by profit achievement and customer satisfaction ratings. Each salesperson follows a carefully scripted process which we have developed over time. Our sales process begins with a customer interview to determine which products will appeal to the customer. The salesperson then escorts the customer through the product selection process by touring our facilities and focusing the customer on three to five specific models the sales person determines best meets the customer’s needs. Once a selection is made, the salesperson coordinates with the desk manager to value the customer’s trade-in, if applicable, and determine the sales price. We contact each customer, on average, eight times within the first twelve months following their purchase to ensure satisfaction and create customer loyalty. In 2007, $714 million of our revenues were generated from sales of new and pre-owned RVs.
 
Finance and Insurance Product Sales. Upon completion of the sale negotiation, the customer is escorted to a business manager who documents the purchase and offers third-party financing, insurance and warranty products. In 2007, approximately 57% of our customers obtained their vehicle financing through Lazydays, the interest on which is often tax deductible as a person’s primary or secondary residence. We arrange financing from eleven lending institutions and offer insurance products from seven insurance underwriters. In 2007, $21.4 million of our revenues were generated from commissions on third-party finance and insurance products.

Value-Added Customer Benefits and Customer Dedication. We provide each of our customers complimentary benefits with an RV purchase that we estimate have an aggregate value of over $8,000. Our delivery team performs a 130-point inspection of every motor home and a 100-point inspection for every towable vehicle. We also provide our customers with an optional driver confidence course, assistance in registering and obtaining title for their RV, complimentary memberships in various RV clubs and campgrounds as well as discounts at Camping World stores. 
 
Marketing. The most important component of our marketing effort is word-of-mouth marketing among our customers and other RV enthusiasts. We actively cultivate referrals from our customers with our proprietary “Friends and Family” referral program. Their referral efforts are acknowledged on our “Wall of Honor”, which prominently displays their names. We target multiple direct marketing efforts at prospective buyers utilizing our proprietary database of  approximately two million street addresses and 117,000 email addresses for current and potential RV customers in order to drive in-person visits and telephone contacts. We have a print advertising campaign in camping and RV magazines. In 2006, we launched Lazydays RV Showcase magazine. The magazine is published every two months and targets RV owners and aspirants. Our largest source of sales leads is our website, Lazydays.com, which features real-time displays of our inventory updated automatically every ten minutes and offers customers an opportunity to browse our current product selection. These multi-faceted marketing initiatives generate a significant number of sales leads.
 
The Café. The Italian themed Café is located in our main dealership building and serves over 300,000 complimentary meals to customers and visitors each year, including customers visiting our facilities for service and repair, sales prospects and RallyPark guests. Importantly, the layout of our site requires our RallyPark guests to traverse our product selection in order to reach the Café. As a result, potential customers often approach sales representatives before or after the meal service to inquire about our products.  
 
CrownClub.  Our CrownClub facility opened in December 2003 as an additional exclusive benefit to our customers who purchase a luxury (approximately $300,000 and above) Class A motor home. CrownClub qualifying new and pre-owned unit purchasers receive membership privileges, of three and two years, respectively, which we believe helps to motivate our customers to trade-in on a more frequent basis. CrownClub membership offers exclusive access to 43 premier service bays and a 17,000 square foot clubhouse, including a lounge, dining room, library, business center and swimming pool. CrownClub members enjoy complimentary upscale meals and our full-service bar. Members also receive other amenities such as invitations to exclusive CrownClub reunions held at upscale RV resorts throughout the U.S. and certificates for 20 free nights at RallyPark.  As of December 31, 2007, we had more than 2,340 CrownClub members. 
 
Club Lazydays.  In 2006, we introduced Club Lazydays, a one of a kind club that provides exclusive benefits to anyone who purchases an RV from us.  Benefits include a luxurious Service Pavilion; a dedicated toll free number for member assistance; complimentary breakfast and lunch; a personal service advisor; invitations to Club Lazydays reunions; discounts on stays at RallyPark, and affiliated membership to other RV clubs such as Thousand Trails, Family Motor Coach Association, Camping World President’s club and other product specific clubs.  
 
RallyPark. RallyPark is a 299-site RV campground located at the Lazydays facility. Each site offers wireless internet access, utilities, cable TV and a morning newspaper. More than 100 rallies are held at RallyPark each year and we believe RallyPark is the preferred rally site for many national, regional and state RV clubs. Our 12,000 square foot, climate-controlled RallyCenter can accommodate up to 500 people and is utilized for dinners, meetings, award ceremonies and live entertainment. We also offer a screened and heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi, tennis courts, horseshoe pits and shuffleboard lanes for our guests. In 2007, $1.6 million of our revenues were generated from fees charged to RallyPark guests.
 
Quality Service and Repair Programs. We have a 230-bay servicing area including 43 premier CrownClub bays and what we believe is the largest RV collision repair center in the U.S. We also offer other special services that are performed in our cabinet shop, chassis shop, windshield repair shop and upholstery shop. Our staff is highly qualified and has over 100 of an estimated 400 RVIA/RVDA Certified and Master Certified technicians in the state of Florida. We have an extensive parts inventory which, as of December 31, 2007, was approximately $1.7 million and we have access to many hard-to-find parts. In 2007, $39.9 million of our revenues were generated from service and repair.
 
Premier Customer Profile. Our business model allows us to seek and maintain “Customers for Life.” Our target customers are both entry level and seasoned RV enthusiasts who enjoy a wide range of RV lifestyles. These include everything from weekend trips to full-time RVing.  A substantial segment of our customer base seeks a part and full-time lifestyle centered on the RV. These RV enthusiasts are typically financially secure couples in the 55-74 year-old age group who are seeking an RV lifestyle that involves frequent travel, substantial time living in their RV and the opportunity for interaction with other RV enthusiasts. Approximately 70% of our customers seek to trade-in an RV and many of our RV enthusiast customers are purchasing their third or fourth RV and may use their RV as their primary residence. We are intently focused on improving the likelihood that when an RV enthusiast does purchase an RV they purchase it from Lazydays. Our continuing success in this endeavor was demonstrated by the 19% of our unit sales which were generated from repeat customers in 2007. Our customers generally purchase RVs at higher price points, as evidenced by our average purchase price for retail sales of $107,430 in 2007 compared to an industry average of approximately $41,041 in 2007. We also believe our name and reputation are being disseminated to other RV enthusiasts within this community.
 
-2-
Economies of Scale. We believe that we generate approximately three times the revenue of the next largest single-site dealership. We offer over 150 distinct new RV models, including Class A motor homes, Class C motor homes, conventional trailers and fifth-wheel trailers, which we believe is the broadest product offering at any single-site retailer. Our 1,200-site outdoor show space includes new products from leading manufacturers, including Monaco Coach Corporation, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., Winnebago Industries, Inc., Carriage, Inc., Thor Industries, Inc., Glendale RV, Forest River RV, Inc. and Tiffin Motor homes, Inc. We attract potential RV purchasers from across the United States, as evidenced by the 52% of our Class A unit sales in 2007 made to customers that reside outside the state of Florida. Our scale also allows us to provide one-stop shopping for our customers by offering competitive third-party financing, insurance and warranty products. Approximately 70% of our customers seek to trade-in an RV which provides us with a consistent supply of pre-owned vehicles to offer our customers. Finally, the wholesale network of over 1,500 dealers that we have developed since 1994 provides us with a reliable system for managing our pre-owned inventory and allows us to accept and accurately value customer trade-ins
 
Favorable Relationships with Manufacturers. We believe our supplier relationships are excellent. In 2007, we were the largest retailer for five of the nine manufacturers represented by our new RV product offering. Our product offering of Class A motor homes represents manufacturers that command a 67% share of the U.S. Class A market. The manufacturers we represent have 16 full-time sales and service representatives stationed at our site to educate our sales force, assist customers in their purchase decision and assist in servicing vehicles. We have favorable multi-year contracts which provide exclusive geographical distribution rights for many manufacturers’ products, ranging from the Tampa, Florida area to the southeastern United States. We have maintained long-term relationships with these manufacturers across various levels within each organization, ranging from frequent management contacts to manufacturer production personnel visiting our facilities to assist in delivering RVs and addressing quality issues. 
 
Experienced Management Team. We are led by an experienced management team with our top eight managers having over 75 years experience in the RV industry and average tenure at the Company of seven years. Our team has extensive retail sales, marketing, operations and financial experience and is skilled at driving growth and creating a unique customer experience. Our senior management group is responsible for developing and implementing our business strategy and focusing on increasing profitability and our incentive systems ties their compensation to our financial performance.

Business Strategy
 
Our principal business strategies include the following:
 
 
Maintain High Levels of Customer Service. Our business is differentiated from other retailers due to our customer focus. We believe customer satisfaction is critical to our continued growth and profitability. Over the past ten years, we have transformed our business from a large RV retailer into an RV enthusiast destination site through the development of our sales and service processes and our one-of-a-kind facilities including, most recently, the addition of our Service Pavilion, Café and Learning Center and remodeling of our sales offices. We intend to continue to upgrade and enhance our facilities as well as add additional site amenities to increase customer satisfaction. We believe that our customer-centric business strategy will continue to attract visitors and allow us to grow our RV enthusiast customer base. 
 
Favorable Demographics. We believe the aging of the “baby boomer” generation will result in substantial increases in RV sales over the next 5-10 years.  Overall, RV ownership rates have historically been highest in the 55-64 year old age group with penetration rates of approximately 14%.  This age group is expected to grow 45% from 2002 to 2010.  Our management team believes our existing 126-acre site can accommodate a 55% increase in annual RV deliveries and we plan to continue to expand our product offering to include additional manufacturers’ product lines as dictated by customer preferences.
 
 
Generate and Convert Sales Opportunities. We continually seek to increase the number of sales prospects through creative marketing initiatives including effectively utilizing and enhancing our destination location appeal, our proprietary database and our website. We employ systems that continually monitor and improve nearly all of our customer interactions and all facets of our sales processes in order to increase the rate at which we convert these sales leads into RV purchases. In 2007, approximately 19% of the 35,000 prospective customers who actively pursued an RV purchase from us actually purchased an RV. We will continue to work to improve our customer focused model by having daily training sessions with our sales force to improve sales techniques and product knowledge, ensuring that a consistent message is delivered to our customers. We will also continue to focus on high-margin sales opportunities, including Class A motor home sales and sales of finance, insurance and warranty products.

Products
 
Overview
 
RVs are categorized into two vehicle segments: motor homes and towables. Motor homes are self-contained and are built on a motor vehicle chassis. They are designed to provide a mobile living environment for recreational, travel, or camping use. Towables are also self-contained, wheeled units designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle and are generally less expensive and smaller than motor homes.
 
New Vehicles
 
Motor homes
 
Class A. Class A motor homes are the largest and most luxurious motor homes. These motor homes are built on specially designed chassis and often are outfitted with amenities such as washers/dryers, security systems, TVs, DVD players, satellite dishes and hydraulic leveling systems. Newer Class A motor homes are generally equipped with multiple “slide-outs,” which allow the owner to extend the exterior walls of the RV when parked to dramatically enlarge the interior space. These motor homes range in length from 21 to 45 feet and sell for between $50,000 and over $1 million and represented 86% of our 2007 new vehicle revenues.
 
Diesel-powered Class A motor homes, including high line and standard diesel-motor homes, are large and luxurious vehicles with a price range of $100,000 to more than $1 million. The diesel engines of these RVs provide numerous advantages over gas engines, including greater horsepower, increased fuel mileage and longer life. High line diesel vehicles are premium Class A motor homes with diesel engines and premier living facilities and amenities. The high line vehicles are typically priced above $250,000. Standard diesel vehicles have similar engines to high line motor homes, but generally contain fewer amenities and are priced at a lower point.
 
Gas-powered Class A motor homes are considered entry-level Class A motor homes and are priced from $75,000 to $175,000. Class A gas products appeal primarily to the part time RVer who is looking to enjoy the RV experience at an affordable price. Built on a less robust chassis than diesel products, gas motor homes tend to offer less carrying capacity and a slightly rougher ride than diesels. Interior comfort is not sacrificed; however, as Class A gas products are available with all the high end amenities including multiple slide-outs, luxurious furnishings, flat screen TVs and satellite antennas.

Class C. Class C motor homes, also known as “mini-motor homes,” are constructed on an automotive manufactured van frame with an attached cab segment. Similar to Class A motor homes, these RVs, which range in length from 20 to 32 feet, offer full kitchen, sleeping and dining facilities and are increasingly featuring “slide-outs.” Class C motor homes sell for between $40,000 and $125,000 and represented 7% of our 2007 new vehicle revenues.
 
Towables
 
Conventional. Conventional travel trailers range in length from 12 to 39 feet and generally include all of the facilities found in a motor home. As with all towables, an advantage of a conventional travel trailer is that it can be detached from a car, pickup truck, or van at the destination, thus making the towing vehicle available for other uses. In addition, six-cylinder engine cars are now capable of towing the newer, lightweight travel trailer models. New travel trailers, most of which can sleep up to eight people, are priced between $9,000 and $76,000 and represented 2% of our 2007 new vehicle revenues.
 
Fifth Wheel. Fifth-wheel travel trailers, which range in length from 21 to 42 feet, are similar to conventional travel trailers in terms of size and amenities, but the two differ in their methods of attachment to the towing vehicle. While a conventional travel trailer is designed to be mounted on a standard car, truck, or van hitch, a fifth-wheel travel trailer is attached to a pickup truck by a special hitch connected to the truck bed. This design provides greater maneuverability and reduces the overall length of the combined vehicles. Fifth-wheel travel trailers sell for between $12,000 and $100,000 and represented 5% of our 2007 new vehicle revenues. 

Pre-Owned Vehicles
 
Sales of pre-owned RVs contributed 34% of our revenues during 2007. With approximately 70% of our customers providing a trade-in RV, we benefit from a steady, high quality flow of available pre-owned inventory. We sell our pre-owned vehicles to both retail customers and, on a wholesale basis, a network of RV and automotive dealers. Retail customer’s purchase pre-owned vehicles because they can get a high quality vehicle at a lower price. We enhance the value of pre-owned vehicles by fully servicing them before offering them for resale.
 
-4-
Our practice of wholesaling RVs to other dealers allows us to manage our pre-owned vehicle inventory optimally and limit our risk of carrying pre-owned vehicles for extended time periods. With access to over 1,500 dealers, we can offer higher values for trade-ins and mitigate our trade-in risk by selling slow-moving pre-owned RVs through this large dealer network.
 
The sales of all categories of pre-owned inventory through our wholesale network represented 9% of total pre-owned vehicle revenues in 2007. Of our total pre-owned vehicle revenues in 2007, retail sales of pre-owned Class A motor homes represented approximately 75%, retail sales of Class C pre-owned motor homes represented 6% and retail sales of pre-owned fifth wheel and conventional towables and other miscellaneous vehicles represented the remaining 9%.
 
Trailer Rental Program for Temporary Housing
 
As a result of the active Florida hurricane season in 2004, we developed a rental program which targeted displaced hurricane victims in need of temporary housing. In 2004, 682 conventional travel trailers were rented. Rental terms ranged from three to six months with extended terms available. We continued the program in 2005 and 2006 and expanded rental units to include Class C motor homes.  This program concluded in 2007.
 
Service and Repair
 
We operate 230 service bays, providing on-site general RV maintenance and repair work to customers. The service and repair department is divided into two areas: the “make ready” process for deliveries of recently purchased new and pre-owned retail units and post-delivery service. We also maintain a body shop, cabinet shop, chassis shop and windshield repair shop with highly skilled, RVIA/RVDA-certified technicians and specialized equipment and facilities. In addition to preparing several thousand RVs for delivery to customers each year, our service and repair operations provide general RV maintenance and repair services and manufacturer paid work performed under warranty to approximately 10,000 customers annually. Furthermore, with over $1.7 million of parts and accessories inventory, in addition to a fully stocked on-site Camping World store, Lazydays provides new and pre-owned RV buyers the option of dealer installed accessories, such as tow hitches, satellite dishes and specialized suspension systems that can be included in each buyer’s financing. Lazydays’ average service and repair customer spends approximately $1,100 per visit.
 
We frequently welcome customers who travel from across the country to have their vehicles serviced by our team of service and repair professionals. As a result, the service and repair department serves as a means of attracting potential customers to the Lazydays facilities and offers greater additional sales opportunities for us. Our service and repair department generated $39.9 million of revenue in 2007.
 
Financing and Related Services
 
We provide assistance to customers in arranging financing for their RV purchases through a variety of lenders. Revenues from financing, warranty and extended warranty products and related services have increased from $14.8 million in 1999 to $21.4 million in 2007.
 
Financing
 
Lazydays generates commission based revenue from its financing services by placing the loans with one of eleven independent lending institutions. The interest on these loans is often deductible to our customers as a mortgage for tax purposes for a primary or secondary residence. During 2007, approximately 57% of our customers obtained their vehicle financing through Lazydays. By leveraging the volume of our financing customers, we are able to negotiate favorable rates for our customers with third-party lenders. Financing fee based revenues represented approximately 66% of 2007 financing and related services revenue.
 
Insurance and Extended Warranties
 
We offer extended warranties and various insurance products for new and pre-owned RVs. As with our financing related products, we are paid a fee for placing the warranty or insurance product with one of seven different insurance underwriters. Approximately 45% of our customers purchased extended warranties during 2007, and we offer other insurance products, including tire, life and physical damage insurance. Together, revenue from insurance and warranties represented approximately 34% of our 2007 financing and related services revenue.

RallyPark and Related Services
 
RallyPark is our full service RV campground that includes a 12,000 square foot recreation hall, screened-in heated pool and Jacuzzi, commercial kitchen facilities and internet and exists primarily to attract visitors to Lazydays as well as to enhance their overall destination experience.  RallyPark attracts over 48,000 visitors each year and has 299 full hook-up sites which provide utilities, wireless internet access, cable TV and a morning newspaper.
 
-5-
More than 100 rallies were held at RallyPark in 2007, with many sponsored by us as a marketing tool to create additional sales leads. We also prominently display marketing and promotional materials throughout the park. All park guests are invited to the Café in the main building for complimentary breakfast and lunch with a shuttle service running frequently between the park and the dealership. Our 12,000 square foot, climate-controlled RallyCenter can accommodate up to 500 people and is utilized for dinners, meetings, award ceremonies and live entertainment. RallyPark represents an important and successful marketing tool for us. In 2007, revenues of $1.6 million in fees were generated from RallyPark visitors.
 
Served Markets
 
We generated approximately 58% of our retail deliveries from Florida residents in 2007, the third largest RV buying state in the United States, and we are a dominant player in the Florida market with a 43% share of Class A motor home unit sales in 2007. While we estimate that Florida is Lazydays’ primary market, we have experienced great success penetrating other markets, with unit sales to residents outside the state of Florida reaching 42% of our retail deliveries in 2007. We believe our U.S. market share in Class A motor home unit sales in 2007 was over 6%, and represents a substantial opportunity for further market penetration and expansion for us.

We estimate that approximately 70% of our customers have previously owned an RV. These customers have adopted the RV lifestyle and do not generally view RVs as luxury or recreational items, as the broader market may view them. Accordingly, for many of our customers, the RV represents a necessary purchase that will occur periodically as the time comes to trade in and upgrade the vehicle. Consistent with their RV enthusiast lifestyle, Lazydays customers are frequently repeat purchasers. Management estimates that Lazydays’ average customer owns his or her RV three to four years before trading it in, compared to an estimated industry average of approximately seven years. In addition, the RV lifestyle includes frequent social interaction between RVers that creates an environment in which word-of-mouth marketing becomes a powerful tool.
 
While our typical customers are in their mid-fifties, we have an increasing number of customers in their mid-40s with young children. RV ownership provides this younger customer group access to relatively safe and economical vacation and travel alternatives. While this younger demographic is currently a small portion of the RV buying group, management believes its growing interest in RVs demonstrates the broadening appeal of RVs in general and represents an opportunity for us to penetrate a greater portion of the population.

Sales Overview
 
The entire Lazydays culture is built on the sales philosophy of making “Customers for Life.” All Lazydays employees are committed to providing premier customer service and developing a relationship with the customer that ensures that he or she will return to Lazydays for all future RV purchases and service needs. This culture is evident in the way each customer is greeted by every employee with the phrase, “Welcome to Lazydays.” Though ingrained deeply in all facets of the business, the Lazydays culture is most readily apparent to customers in their interaction with our sales force.
 
Our direct sales organization is comprised of eight sales managers who oversee approximately 150 salespeople, as well as managers that oversee other aspects of the sales process, such as Internet, telephone and wholesale sales, pricing and the appraisal of trade-in units. Each sales manager is responsible for a team of salespeople and is compensated based on team and Company performance goals. Additionally, each sales manager administers a relationship with a manufacturer by understanding new products and monitoring inventory levels.
 
Our salespeople are divided into three levels based on customer satisfaction and sales performance. Our sale professionals’ compensation structure is 100% commission based and is driven by profit achievement and customer satisfaction ratings. In 2007, our compensation per year per salesperson averaged approximately $90,000 and the top salesperson earned over $200,000, which we believe is significantly higher than at other dealerships in the country, thus allowing us to attract and retain a high quality sales force. Because of the opportunities offered to our salespeople, we have historically maintained low turnover within our sales staff.

Sales Organization
 
Our sales team has consistently improved its success in converting sales opportunities into RV deliveries over the years, as management continuously refines the sales process. From 2000 to 2007, we improved our delivery ratio (the number of sales divided by the number of sales opportunities or “ups”) from 16.9% to 19.0%. Through the ongoing development of the sales process and training of personnel, management believes its sales force’s productivity will continue to improve.
 
Our success in developing and maintaining a productive sales force is a function of our ability to execute our “Customers for Life” sales philosophy. We have identified and outlined a number of important tenets that embody this philosophy and provide a blueprint for the operation of the sales organization. At a high level, these include our keys to building a great company, such as “find and keep great people” and “be easy to do business with.” The importance of premier customer service is emphasized through our Golden Rule of Customer Service, the Ten Rules of Customer Service and the Thirteen Keys to Being the Best at Customer Service. These rules are reinforced every week through sales training sessions and ensure that salespeople execute our sales philosophy. This philosophy defines our culture, which is built around a focus on the needs and wants of the customer, a constant pursuit of premier customer service and the consistent execution of a proven sales system. The embodiment of this philosophy is the greeting of “Welcome to Lazydays,” that each employee delivers to each and every customer.
 
We strive to ensure that our sales personnel are consistent in their approach to the customer and in their application of these tenets through extensive training. Each salesperson must complete an initial two-week customer service and sales process training program. Thereafter, all salespeople are required to attend daily one-hour product and selling skills training sessions. The emphasis on continuous training ensures that sales personnel are knowledgeable in their representation of the products and skilled in their approach to the customer.

 Marketing Overview
 
Lazydays attracted over 250,000 visitors to its complex and generated over 34,000 sales opportunities in 2007. This traffic is generated through a comprehensive advertising plan that includes a referral program, direct mail promotions, print advertising, attendance at off-site rallies and trade shows, the Lazydays website and partnering with  other companies. All of our marketing work, including the development of strategies and concepts, the maintenance of the customer database and the design and layout of advertisements, is performed in-house, with the exception of high volume printing and television production. By performing the majority of our marketing functions internally, we are able to manage our marketing cost effectively. We spent $4.4 million on our marketing efforts in 2007, or 0.6% of total revenues, a level that is consistent with historical expenditures as a percentage of revenues.
 
Referrals
 
Customer referrals are our most productive and inexpensive advertising source. The introduction of the Lazydays Friends & Family Program in July 1997 served as a catalyst for referral based business. The program promotes referral activity by rewarding customer loyalty and referral business with awards and recognition for each referral that leads to a sale. As customers make new, qualified referrals, they receive rewards, such as complimentary stays at RallyPark for Friends & Family rallies, award certificates  and cash prizes. In addition, based on their number of referrals, Friends & Family members have their names prominently displayed on plaques along the Wall of Honor in the lobby of the main dealership building.
 
Direct Mail, Print and Television
 
We manage a proprietary database of approximately two million RV owners and potential owners to maintain regular mail-based contact with existing and potential customers. We have used direct mail marketing for the past ten years and email marketing for the past three years.  We advertise in numerous industry publications and, on a limited basis, through local television.
 
We design our own direct mail marketing materials in-house and have millions of postcards, posters, brochures and mailers printed each year to generate interest in our RVs. Our largest publication is our bi-monthly Lazydays RV Showcase which was launched in December 2006. Lazydays RV Showcase lists RVs for sale at Lazydays and targets the fastest growing segment of RV owners and aspirants - the baby boomer generation. The magazine has an annual circulation of over 1.5 million. We also send our customers personalized notes each year for a variety of occasions, including the anniversary of an RV purchase, to maintain strong customer goodwill.

Internet Website
 
The Lazydays website is a user-friendly marketing and informational tool. Our website allows our visitors to view new and pre-owned RV photos and specifications within minutes after the vehicle becomes available for sale. Users can search for available RVs by keyword, brand, class, make and model, as well as learn more about the numerous value added benefits offered by us. Users have the ability to purchase our RVs without visiting our facility by learning about products online and by calling or emailing Lazydays to further their inquiry. Additionally, users can obtain an estimate of the value of their trade-ins prior to arriving at Lazydays.
 
Rallies and Trade Shows
 
Rallies and trade shows serve as an ideal opportunity to market Lazydays to concentrated groups of RV enthusiasts. Hundreds of rallies and trade shows take place throughout the U.S. each year. Lazydays attends nearly 30 off-site rallies each year. We send sales representatives and at times, a selection of RVs, to the rallies and trade shows to promote products, answer questions and build excitement around the dealership. In addition, approximately 100 RV rallies are held each year at RallyPark in which we can exclusively display and promote our products and value-added benefits.
 
Marketing Partners
 
We have developed joint-marketing relationships with various companies that are involved directly or indirectly in the RV industry. For instance, we have a relationship with RV accessory and camping supply retailer, Camping World, which has a store next to Lazydays and benefits from a steady flow of prospective customers as a result of the location. Similarly, Lazydays and other business partners benefit one another by offering complimentary products and services.

Suppliers
 
Over the course of our operating history, we have developed strong relationships with the industry’s leading RV manufacturers. We are supplied primarily by eight major RV manufacturers that rely on us as a primary point of distribution.
 
For most product lines and manufacturers, we are the leading dealership in terms of sales volume. Manufacturers are highly dependent on us for their Florida sales, an important territory for the RV industry. In 2007, we were responsible for 43% of our suppliers’ total Florida Class A RV sales. We have won numerous supplier awards for our excellence in sales and service, including Fleetwood’s Circle of Excellence Award ten times and Winnebago’s Circle of Excellence Award every year (20 times) since the award’s inception.
 
We have negotiated favorable long term dealer agreements and reasonable sales goals. Dealer agreements provide exclusive sales rights for manufacturers’ products over extended geographic regions ranging from the local Tampa area to the southeastern United States. In addition, we believe our size and market presence ensure that we have top priority with our suppliers and a consistent supply of RVs, even during times of production shortages.
 
Importantly, our RV suppliers also support our ability to carry an extensive inventory of vehicles by providing a backstop to our floor plan financing. The manufacturers have an agreement with our floor plan lenders to repurchase unsold inventory at a value of up to 100% of the original cost of the vehicles under certain circumstances.

We also have the benefit of over 26 onsite manufacturer representatives from the major RV manufacturers, depending on the season. Manufacturer sales representatives will answer customer inquiries specific to their products, lend credibility to Lazydays’ operations and assist in the sale of products and training of salespeople, keeping us informed of new product innovations and fostering strong relationships with the manufacturers.
 
Wholesale Vehicle Network
 
Approximately 70% of our RV purchases (new and pre-owned) are accompanied by a trade-in. The large number of pre-owned trade-ins that we receive assures us of a steady supply of high quality pre-owned vehicles. We believe that we are able to pay more for pre-owned RVs than our competition because of our scale. Our steady supply of customers, coupled with our access to a proprietary network of more than 1,500 dealers, helped make us the top single-site pre-owned RV dealership in the U.S. Additionally, the wholesale network allows us to optimize our inventory carrying levels by disposing of old or unwanted trade-ins through this channel.
 
Management Information Systems
 
Our key customer and business information systems (customer relationship, sales, finance, insurance, service, accounting, purchasing and inventory management information and processes) are fully integrated.  These systems provide real-time information and are integrated with our industry leading web site, offering our customers the ability to browse our continuously updated inventory, trigger our team to search for RVs matching buying criteria, shop for parts and even “Build Their Own RV” using the industry’s first such application.  This new foundation for growth allows for enhanced customer relationships, marketing and sales effectiveness, operational efficiency and management information.  We are now working to integrate our business systems with those of our manufacturing, finance and other business partners for improved service delivery and efficiency.
 
Employees
 
We benefit from a loyal and dedicated non-union workforce of 675 full-time and 5 part-time employees as of December 31, 2007 and have never experienced a work stoppage. Each of these individuals is critical to sustaining a culture that is unique in the industry. We work to ensure that every employee shares our vision and commitment to customer service and welcomes each visitor with the phrase, “Welcome to Lazydays.”
 
We offer competitive compensation and benefit plans to employees working more than 30 hours per week. Our benefits include a defined contribution 401(k) plan with discretionary company matching, medical and dental, pharmacy and vision insurance, short-term and long-term disability and life insurance, a pre-tax premium payment plan with flexible spending accounts, post-tax voluntary benefit and vacation up to three weeks after seven years of employment.
 
We have never experienced any significant labor shortages nor had any difficulty in obtaining adequate replacements for departing employees. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Intellectual Property
 
We have registered, and are in the process of registering, various trademarks and service marks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including “Lazy Days RV Super Center,” “Tire Re-Nu,” “CrownClub” and “RallyPark”.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our operations and business practices are subject to regulation at the federal, state and, in some cases, local levels. State and local consumer protection laws and regulations govern our sales, advertising, financing, insurance sales and other trade practices.
 
The adoption of more stringent statutes and regulations, changes in the interpretation of existing statutes and regulations or our entrance into jurisdictions with more stringent regulatory requirements could curtail some of our operations. It could also deny us the opportunity to operate in certain locations or restrict products or services, including terms of finance and insurance products offered by us. Various federal, state and local regulatory agencies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and similar federal and local agencies, have jurisdiction over the operation of our dealerships, repair facilities and other operations with respect to matters such as consumer protection, workers’ safety and laws regarding protection of the environment, including air, water and soil. The failure to maintain all requisite licenses and permits and comply with all applicable federal, state and local regulations, could limit our ability to operate our business.
 
As with vehicle dealerships generally, and parts and service operations in particular, our business involves the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials, such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, Freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline, diesel fuels, asbestos containing materials and other chemicals.
 
Accordingly, we are subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities establishing requirements for the use, management, handling and disposal of these materials and health and environmental quality standards. We are also subject to laws, ordinances and regulations governing investigation and remediation of contamination at facilities we operate to which we send hazardous or toxic substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal. Noncompliance with or changes to these requirements could limit our ability to operate our business.
 
Our customers and potential customers are subject to federal, state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding the ownership of recreational vehicles. The adoption of more stringent statutes, ordinances and regulations affecting the consumer ownership of recreational vehicles, could limit our ability to sell our products.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report prior to making a decision to invest in our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that we currently believe to be less significant may also adversely affect us.

    We may experience unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results for a variety of reasons.
 
Our net sales, gross margin and operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, many of which are not readily predictable. These factors include the following:
 
 
    
 
the ability of our suppliers to introduce new models that achieve consumer acceptance;
 
 
 
the addition or loss of competing dealers;
 
 
 
the timing of trade shows and rallies, which we use to market and sell our products; and
 
 
 
factors affecting the recreational vehicle industry as a whole, including economic and seasonal factors.
 
 
            Our overall gross margin may decline in future periods to the extent that we increase the percentage of sales of lower gross margin towable products or if the mix of motor homes we sell shifts to lower gross margin units. In addition, a relatively small variation in the number of recreational vehicles we sell in any quarter can have a significant impact on total sales and operating results for that quarter.
 
We attempt to forecast demand for our products and adjust our inventory accurately prior to receipt of such orders. However, it is highly unlikely that we will consistently accurately forecast the timing, rate and mix of orders. This aspect of our business makes our planning inexact and, in turn, affects our inventories, operating results and cash flow for any given quarter.
 
Reduced availability of financing for our customers could adversely affect our sales volume.
 
Our customers generally secure financing from third-party lenders. Reduced availability of such financing and higher interest rates may have an adverse effect on the recreational vehicle business and our sales. If third-party financing were to become unavailable or were to be restricted, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Availability of financing is dependent on the lending practices of lending institutions, financial markets, governmental policies and economic conditions, all of which are largely beyond our control. Many states classify recreational vehicles as personal property rather than real property for purposes of taxation and lien perfection and as a result, interest rates for recreational vehicles are generally higher and the terms of the loans shorter than for site-built homes. There can be no assurance that affordable wholesale or retail financing for recreational vehicles will continue to be available on a widespread basis.

Our geographic concentration heightens our exposure to adverse regional developments, including adverse economic conditions, demographic changes, severe weather events and natural disasters.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2007, 58% of our unit sales were to customers in the state of Florida. Our geographic concentration in the southeast and Florida in particular, heightens our exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in this region. We cannot assure you that our geographic concentration will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future. In addition, as a single-site operator, a severe weather event or natural catastrophe such as a hurricane may adversely affect our business. We have a single location near Tampa, Florida which is in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. A severe weather event such as a hurricane could cause severe damage to our property and inventory and could cause disruptions to our operations. Although we believe we have adequate insurance coverage, if we were to experience a catastrophic loss, we may exceed our policy limits and/or we may have difficulty obtaining similar insurance coverage in the future. We cannot assure you that an adverse weather event would not have an adverse impact on our business.

 
-11-
 

 Our business is cyclical and seasonal and this can lead to fluctuations in our sales and operating results.
 
The industry in which we operate is highly cyclical and there can be substantial fluctuations in our retail sales and operating results, and the results for any prior period may not be indicative of results for any future period. Companies within the recreational vehicle industry are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors such as economic, demographic and political changes.
 
Factors affecting the recreational vehicle industry include:
 
 
overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending, which has had an adverse effect on our business from time to time and may do so again depending on consumer reaction to economic uncertainty and potential volatility in the stock market;
 
 
general economic conditions;
 
 
increases in interest rates (which increase our borrowing costs and borrowing costs for our customers who finance their RV purchases);
 
 
international tensions and hostilities;
 
 
employment trends; and
 
 
fuel availability and prices.
 

Changes in consumer confidence and the level of discretionary spending may disproportionately impact sales of our highest priced luxury motor homes and a significant decrease in demand for these motor homes may have an adverse effect on our business.
 
We cannot provide assurance that the factors that have had an adverse affect on our business in prior years will not have an adverse effect in the future.
 
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant variability in sales and net income as a result of seasonality in our business. Demand generally increases during the winter season, while sales and profits are generally lower during the spring and summer months.

Changes in consumer preferences for our products or our failure to gauge those preferences could lead to reduced sales and additional costs.
 
We believe that consumer preferences for recreational vehicles are likely to change over time. We further believe that the introduction of new features, designs and models will be critical to the future success of our operations. Delays in the introduction of new models or product features, or a lack of market acceptance of new features, designs or models, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Products may not be accepted for a number of reasons, including changes in consumer preferences or the failure of our suppliers to properly gauge consumer preferences. Our suppliers may also experience production difficulties, such as inefficiencies in purchasing and increased labor costs, as they introduce new models. We cannot be certain that new product introductions will not reduce revenues from existing models and adversely affect our results of operations. There can be no assurance that any of these new models or products will be introduced to the market on time or that they will be successful when introduced.

We are dependent on continued relationships with major manufacturers who supply our products.
 
Our success depends, to a significant extent, on continued relationships with eight major manufacturers from whom we purchase the majority of our new RV products. In the majority of cases we have entered into long term dealer agreements that provide exclusive sales rights for a certain product line over an extended geographic area. Some of these agreements require us to meet specified sales goals. Cancellation or modification of the dealer agreements, including the loss of our rights to geographic exclusivity, or a failure to renew a dealer agreement with one or more of these manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our revenues by limiting our access to desirable products. We currently purchase over 150 models of new RVs from these eight manufacturers. We depend on our relationships with these manufacturers to provide the most desirable possible mix of new models to our customers. The loss of one of a significant number of models could reduce our competitiveness by decreasing our potential sales.

 
-12-
 


If the frequency and size of product liability and other claims against us increases, including wrongful death, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.
 
The products that we sell and service have the potential to inflict significant injury or property damage. Even if the manufacturer caused a defect which led to injury or property damage, we could be liable on the theory of third-party product liability. We carry insurance for this in addition to the general liability insurance generally maintained by the manufacturers, but it is possible that a claim would not be covered or would exceed our policy limits.
 
Fuel shortages, or higher prices for fuel, could have a negative effect on sales of recreational vehicles.
 
Gasoline or diesel fuel is required for the operation of motor homes and most vehicles used to tow travel trailers. Particularly in view of increased international tensions, there can be no assurance that the supply of these petroleum products will continue uninterrupted, that rationing will not be imposed or that the price of or tax on these petroleum products will not significantly increase in the future. Increases in gasoline prices and speculation about potential fuel shortages have had an unfavorable effect on consumer demand for recreational vehicles from time to time in the past, which had a material adverse effect on our sales volume, and may do so again in the future.

We require floor plan financing to purchase our inventory. The absence of available floor plan financing could have a material adverse effect on our operations and hinder our ability to achieve our growth strategy.
 
We depend, to a significant extent, on our ability to finance the purchase of inventory, which in the automotive and RV retail industries involves borrowing money in the form of floor plan financing. Floor plan financing is the method in which dealerships finance the purchase of new vehicles from a manufacturer. Our floor plan financing is secured by substantially all of our vehicle inventory and related accounts receivable. Any inability to obtain floor plan financing on customary terms, or the termination of our floor plan financing arrangements by our floor plan lenders, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

A substantial portion of our income is from financing, insurance and extended service contracts, which depend on third-party lenders and insurance companies. We cannot assure you third-party lending institutions will continue to provide financing for RV purchases.
 
A substantial part of our earnings come from the fees we receive from lending institutions and insurance companies for arranging financing and insurance coverage for our customers. The lending institution pays us a fee for each loan that we arrange. If the lenders we arrange financing through were to lend to our customers directly rather than through us, we would not receive a fee. In addition, if customers prepay financing we arranged within a specified period (generally within six months of making the loan), we are required to rebate (or "chargeback") all or a portion of the commissions paid to us by the lending institution. Our revenues from financing fees and vehicle service contract fees are recorded net of a reserve for estimated future chargebacks based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts. Lending institutions may change the criteria or terms they use to make loan decisions, which could reduce the number of customers for whom we can arrange financing, or may elect to not continue to provide these products with respect to RVs. Our customers may also use the internet or other electronic methods to find financing alternatives. If any of these events occur, we could lose a significant portion of our income and profit.
 
In addition, we generally offer our customers a service contract that provides additional warranty coverage on their RV or some of its parts after the manufacturer's original warranty expires and various types of insurance policies that will provide money to pay a customer's RV loan if the customer dies or is physically disabled. We sell these products as a broker for unrelated companies that specialize in these types of coverage and we receive a fee for each product that we sell. If our customers obtain these policies directly from the insurers, our income and profits could decline.

The loss of key personnel and/or failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel could make it more difficult for us to generate cash flow from operations and service our debt.
 
We are dependent on the continued services of our senior management team. If any of these persons were to leave our company it could be difficult to replace him or her. We believe the loss of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us and our financial performance. We cannot assure you that we can attract and retain sufficient qualified personnel to meet our business needs.

The interests of our controlling stockholder may be in conflict with your interests as a holder of Notes.
 
RV Acquisition owns 100% of Holdings common stock, which in turn owns 100% of our common stock. BRS LP owns approximately 84% of RV Acquisition's common stock and has the ability to elect a majority of the Board of Directors and generally to control the affairs and policies of our company. Circumstances may occur in which the interests of BRS LP, as our ultimate stockholder, in pursuing acquisitions or otherwise, could be in conflict with the interests of the holders of the Notes. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters".

We are subject to extensive government regulation. Changes in these regulations could have a negative effect on our financial condition.
 
The adoption of more stringent statutes and regulations, changes in the interpretation of existing statutes and regulations or our entrance into jurisdictions with more stringent regulatory requirements could curtail some of our operations. Such events could also deny us the opportunity to operate in certain locations or restrict products or services offered by us, including restrictions on the terms of financial and insurance products that we offer.
 
Various federal, state and local regulatory agencies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and similar federal and local agencies, have jurisdiction over the operation of our dealerships, repair facilities and other operations with respect to matters such as consumer protection, workers' safety and laws regarding protection of the environment, including air, water and soil. The failure to maintain all requisite licenses and permits and comply with all applicable federal, state and local regulations, requisite licenses and permits could limit our ability to operate our business.
 
As with vehicle dealerships generally, and parts and service operations in particular, our business involves the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, Freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline, diesel fuels, asbestos containing materials and other chemicals.

Accordingly, we are subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities establishing requirements for the use, management, handling and disposal of these materials and health and environmental quality standards. We are also subject to laws, ordinances and regulations governing investigation and remediation of contamination at facilities we operate to which we send hazardous or toxic substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal. Noncompliance with or changes to these requirements could limit our ability to operate our business.

Our customers and potential customers are subject to federal, state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations, including motor vehicle licensing requirements, regarding the ownership of recreational vehicles. The adoption of more stringent statutes, ordinances and regulations affecting the consumer ownership of recreational vehicles could limit our ability to sell our products.
 
The occurrence of extraordinary events, such as a major terrorist attack in the United States, may adversely affect our business, resulting in a decrease in our revenues.
 
Future terrorist attacks cannot be predicted, and their occurrence can be expected to further negatively affect the United States economy generally, and specifically the regional markets in which we operate.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
We lease our 126-acre facility, located at 6130 Lazy Days Boulevard, Seffner, Florida, from I-4 Land Holding Limited Company (“I-4”), an entity controlled by Don Wallace, our founder and former Chairman of the Board, under a lease arrangement the initial term of which will expire in 2022. The amended lease entered into on May 14, 2004 included four (4) five-year renewal options, which if exercised would extend the expiration date to 2042.

On October 12, 2006, we amended this lease agreement with I-4.  The lease was amended to modify the purchase option from $42 million (subject to CPI increases) through May 14, 2011 to a fair market value purchase option, as defined, through January 15, 2023.  The amendment also permitted I-4 to purchase certain of our buildings located on land leased from I-4 as part of an asset purchase agreement, as well as reduce rents owed to I-4 by an aggregate amount of $2.7 million during 2006, 2007 and 2008. The amended lease agreement also gives us a right to purchase certain adjacent land currently rented by a third party.  Finally, the amended lease agreement and asset purchase agreement provided us with $11.6 million of cash, preserved our business use of all the leased real property and significantly reduced our future lease obligation without increasing the existing lease term.  The $11.6 million of cash proceeds and the $2.7 million of rent abatements were treated similar to lease incentives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and are being amortized over the remaining life of the lease, and are presented as deferred rent on the balance sheet.

The annual rent before abatements is $4,793,880 in 2007 and will further increase thereafter based on periodic CPI adjustments. The lease provides for equal monthly rental payments and provides that we pay all property taxes and insurance. Rent expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease resulting in deferred rent during the earlier years of the lease. We are also responsible for maintenance costs as well as betterments to the facilities.
 
We also have one short-term lease on a property that we use for off-site RV parking lots during our peak-season.
 
 
We are party to numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
 
 
 
None.

The following discussion regarding Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Unless stated otherwise, the information provided in this section relates to Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. only and not to its parent, Holdings. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
We are the world’s largest single-site dealer of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) with the industry’s broadest selection of new and previously-owned RVs. We are a primary point of distribution for eight of the leading manufacturers in the recreational vehicle retail industry, an industry with sales of approximately $12 billion in new, and $14 billion in pre-owned RV vehicles annually. Located on a 126-acre site outside of Tampa, Florida, we are widely recognized in the RV community as the premier destination for RV enthusiasts, attracting over 250,000 visitors each year to our RV dealership, and approximately 1.3 million visitors per year to our facility (including visitors to additional attractions that appeal to RV owners located adjacent to our site, namely Camping World, Cracker Barrel and Flying J Travel Plaza).
 
We offer our customers an extensive selection of RVs and a variety of services, such as financing, insurance and a 230-bay, fully-staffed service and repair department. Our inventory is displayed in a park-like setting and our facility also includes a full-service RV park, two swimming pools, tennis courts and meeting and dining facilities.
 
We derive our revenues principally from sales and rental of new units, sales of pre-owned units, service and rental repair, commissions earned on sales of third-party financing and insurance products, and visitors fees at RallyPark. In 2007, we derived our revenues from these categories in the following percentages, 57.8%, 34.0%, 5.1%, 2.7% and 0.2%, respectively. New and pre-owned unit sales accounted for more than 91% of total revenues.
 
The vast majority of our costs of revenues are related to inventory purchases. New and pre-owned vehicles have accounted for 97% or more of cost of revenues in each of the previous three years. Increased unit costs are immediately passed through to end customers.
 
Our gross profit margins on pre-owned vehicles are typically higher on a percentage basis while our gross profit margins on an absolute dollar basis are typically higher on new vehicles. In 2007, gross profit margins on new vehicles averaged 7.4% compared to 9.7% for pre-owned vehicles, and our gross profit from sales of new vehicles was $33.4 million and $25.5 million for pre-owned vehicles.
 
Salaries, commissions and benefits represent the largest component of our total selling, general and administrative expense and comprised more than 50% of total selling, general and administrative expense. In 2007, approximately 14.3% of our selling, general and administrative expense consisted of commissions for our sales force which are directly correlated to RV vehicle sales levels. Selling, general and administrative expense is typically consistent with revenue on a percentage basis.

 Results for the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the results for the three months ended December 31, 2006
 
Revenues. Revenues decreased from $170.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $169.2 million in the comparable period in 2007. Vehicle revenue increased $0.3 million while finance and insurance income decreased $0.9 million and parts and service declined $1.0 million.  Total retail vehicle sales decreased by 54 units.  Despite the decrease in overall units, vehicle revenues increased due to a better product mix and higher average per unit price.  The vehicle sales increase, as well as an increase in RallyPark revenues, was offset by decreases in finance and insurance and parts and service due to the decline in volume as well as a slight decrease in advertising revenue.

New Unit Sales. Sales of new vehicles were $97.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $97.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. New vehicle unit sales decreased from 732 for the fourth quarter of 2006 to 682 in 2007. This was due to a decrease in sales of Class A units, while Class C and towables increased slightly.  New unit sales by class for three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to three months ended December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:

Pre-Owned Unit Sales. Sales of pre-owned vehicles for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $57.9 million compared to $57.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Pre-Owned vehicle unit sales decreased from 713 for the fourth quarter of 2006 to 709 in 2007, due to lower demand of motorized product offset slightly by a 2.8% improvement in towable units.  Pre-owned unit sales by class for three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to three months ended December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:

Parts, Service and Other Revenues. Parts, service and other revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $8.8 million, $1.0 million less than the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease is attributable to lower volume as well as an overall decrease in maintenance and service fees.

Finance and Insurance Related Revenues. Finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues decreased $0.8 million from $5.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $4.2 in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease is attributable to lower volume partially offset by improved average income per unit financed.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit in the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $21.7 million compared with the three months ended December 31, 2006 at $25.9 million.  Gross profit margin decreased from 15.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to 12.8% in the comparable period in 2007.   The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease in new vehicle margin, $0.9 million decrease in parts and service margin and a $0.8 million decrease in finance and insurance margin.  New vehicle margin in 2007 was negatively impacted by a non-cash LIFO inventory adjustment representing $2.2 million of the variance quarter over quarter and lower new motorized sales volume, which also resulted in lower manufacturer holdbacks and incentive income of approximately $0.4 million slightly offset by a higher average margin on new units.  Finance and insurance margin decrease was driven by the overall unit volume decrease, offset by a higher average margin per unit financed and a timing difference of approximately $0.6 million of additional warranty income received in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization was slightly lower at $21.4 million, or 12.6% of revenues, in the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $22.0 million, or 12.9% of revenues, in the comparable period in 2006. Historically, salary, commissions and benefits have comprised the majority of our total selling, general and administrative expenses and exceeded 50% of selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2007.
 
Income from Operations. Income from operations represents our gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization. Income from operations decreased from $3.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $0.3 million in the comparable period in 2007.  This decrease was due to the overall decline in gross profit, offset by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense.

Interest Expense—Floor Plan Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Interest expense decreased from $5.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $4.9 million in the comparable period in 2007.  This was primarily due to the change in interest on the Floor Plan Credit Facility.  Interest on the Floor Plan Credit Facility decreased due to lower average borrowing levels as well as a decrease in short-term borrowing rates.
 
Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit increased from $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to an income tax benefit of $1.7 million in the comparable period in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an increased loss before income tax of $4.6 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 compared to a loss before income tax of $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2006.

 Results for 2007 Compared to the Results for 2006

Revenues. Revenues increased from $757.3 million in 2006 to $778.0 million in 2007.  Total retail vehicle sales decreased 228 units.  Despite the decrease in overall units, vehicle revenues increased due to a better product mix and higher average per unit sales price.  In addition to the vehicle sales increase, parts and service, finance and insurance, and RallyPark also increased partially offset by a decline in other income which was primarily due to a decrease in advertising revenue from the discontinuation of RVLiving.

New Unit Sales. New vehicle sales increased $3.9 million to $449.5 million in 2007 from $445.6 million in 2006.  Overall 2007 new vehicle unit sales decreased 131 units, however motorized units, which typically maintain a higher average per unit sales price increased slightly somewhat offsetting the decrease in the towable unit sales.  New unit sales by class for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:

Pre-Owned Unit Sales. Pre-owned vehicle sales in 2007 were $264.6 million compared to $248.6 million in 2006. Pre-owned unit sales, excluding wholesale, decreased from 3,572 in 2006 to 3,475 in 2007.  The sales increase, despite a 97 unit decline was attributable to a more favorable mix of motorized units with Class A diesels up 3.5% and Class C units up 15.1%.  Pre-owned unit sales by class for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:

Parts, Service and Other Revenues. Parts, service and other revenues were $39.9 million in 2007, an increase of $1.1 million from 2006.  Retail sales increased overall, partially offset by a decline in warranty sales.

Finance and Insurance Related Revenues. Finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues increased approximately 0.9% ($0.2 million) from $21.2 million in 2006 to $21.4 million in 2007.  The increase in finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues were primarily attributable to favorable warranty income and improved finance penetration ratios, partially offset by lower finance margins, lower vehicle volume and a slight increase in chargebacks.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit decreased from $113.9 million in 2006 to $103.9 million in 2007. Gross profit margin decreased to 13.3% in 2007 down from 15.0% in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a $7.1 million decrease in new vehicle margin, $1.0 million decrease in pre-owned vehicle margin and a $1.7 million decrease in parts and service margin offset by a slight increase in finance and insurance margin.  New vehicle margin in 2007 was negatively impacted by a non-cash LIFO inventory adjustment representing $4.9 million of the variance year over year, a $0.5 million loss of margin due to the discontinuation of our rental program and overall lower new vehicle sales volume, which also resulted in lower manufacturer holdbacks and incentive income. Pre-owned vehicle margin decrease year over year was due to lower pre-owned towable sales volume somewhat offset by increased pre-owned motorized unit sales which carry a higher average margin per unit sold. Finance and insurance increased $0.1 million as increased warranty income and improved finance penetration ratios more than offset the lower volume experienced.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization, decreased from $89.7 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in 2006 to $87.5 million, or 11.2% of revenues, in 2007. This decrease is primarily due to lower commissions expense (driven by lower vehicle volume), lower rent expense, lower non-compete costs, decreased amortization expense and advertising partially offset by increased insurance costs, professional service fees and contract labor (driven by Sarbanes-Oxley implementation).
 
Income from Operations. Income from operations represents our gross profit, less selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Income from operations decreased from $24.2 million in 2006 to $16.4 million in 2007.  This decrease was due to the overall decline in gross profit offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Interest Expense—Floor Plan Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Interest expense on our Floor Plan Credit Facility  and Senior Notes decreased from $21.3 million in 2006 to $20.2 million in 2007.  This represents a  $0.6 million and $0.5 million reduction  in interest expense on the Floor Plan Credit Facility and Senior Notes, respectively.  Interest on the Floor Plan Credit Facility decreased due to lower average borrowing levels as well as a decrease in short-term borrowing rates.
 
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $1.1 million in 2006 to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million in the comparable period in 2007.  This decrease was primarily attributable to an increased loss before income taxes.  The Company’s effective income tax rate was 35.9% and 38.1% for fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Results for 2006 Compared to the Results for 2005

Revenues. Revenues decreased from $804.2 million in 2005 to $757.3 million in 2006. This decrease resulted primarily from decreases in new and pre-owned unit sales.

New Unit Sales. Sales and rental of new vehicles for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $445.6 million compared to $475.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. New vehicle unit sales, excluding wholesale, decreased 1,036 units to 3,303 in 2006. This decrease in new unit sales primarily reflected a decrease in towable products (864 units), specifically travel trailers, and a decrease of motorized products (172 units). The decrease in travel trailers was due to the bulk travel trailer sales in 2005. Bulk travel trailer sales represent the sale of travel trailers to FEMA as a part of the U.S. Government’s hurricane relief efforts.
 
Pre-Owned Unit Sales. Pre-owned unit sales in 2006 were $248.6 million compared to $263.7 million in 2005. Pre-owned unit sales, excluding wholesale, decreased from 4,211 in 2005 to 3,572 in 2006. Overall, pre-owned unit sales experienced a decrease due to lower demand for motorized products and decreased travel trailer sales driven by the resale of travel trailers from our rental program in 2005.
 
Finance and Insurance Related Revenues. Finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues decreased approximately 0.9% ($0.2 million) from $21.4 million in 2005 to $21.2 million in 2006. Overall, insurance product revenues and finance commissions remained relatively flat. The decrease is attributable to lower unit sales, mostly offset by improvements (1.7%) in the percentage of units financed as well as higher revenue per unit financed. Additionally, the bulk travel trailer sales were not eligible for financing.
 
Parts, Service and Other Revenues. Parts and service revenues were $38.8 million in 2006, a decrease of $2.1 million from 2005. This decline resulted from a decrease in retail and warranty sales and the decreased unit sales experienced in 2006.

Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit decreased from $119.9 million in 2005 to $113.9 million in 2006, or 5.0%. This decrease was largely attributable to decreased new and pre-owned unit volumes. Gross profit margin increased slightly to 15.0% in 2006 up from 14.9% in the prior year.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization, decreased from $92.0 million, or 11.4% of revenues, in 2005 to $89.7 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in 2006. This decrease corresponded to a reduction in salary, commissions and benefits expenses, which declined primarily due to decreased gross profit.
 
Income from Operations. Income from operations represents our gross profit, less selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Income from operations decreased from $27.9 million in 2005 to $24.2 million in 2006. This decrease was largely due to lower sales and gross profit as discussed above.
 
Interest  Expense - Floor Plan Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Interest expense remained relatively flat in 2006 as compared to 2005.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $2.5 million in 2005 to $1.1 million in 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in pre-tax income from $6.5 million in 2005 to $2.9 million in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Historically, we have satisfied our liquidity needs through cash from operations and various borrowing arrangements. Principal liquidity needs have included the acquisition of inventory, salary and sales commissions, debt service requirements and other capital expenditures necessary to maintain our facility. Our cash requirements consist principally of scheduled payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness (including indebtedness under our amended floor plan credit facility), capital expenditures, salary and sales commissions and lease expenses. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the next several years. 

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2007 was equal to $16.3 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $1.5 million in 2006. This increase in net cash provided by operating activities for 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in inventories and an increase in accounts payable primarily driven by an increase in trade-payoffs partially offset by an increase in receivables.

-22-
    Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for 2007 was $0.8 million, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $3.0 million in 2006.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was attributable to a decrease in purchases of property and equipment.  In 2006 we upgraded our information systems.
    
    Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during 2007 increased $9.8 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities during 2006. Payments on the amended floor plan facility and the Senior Notes totaled $7.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, during 2007.  In 2006, we received $11.6 million in proceeds from a lease negotiation which offset net cash  used in financing activities.
 
    Working Capital. Working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, totaled approximately $36.4 million at December 31, 2007. We maintain inventory in order to meet the expectations of our customers, and believe that we will continue to require working capital largely consistent with past experience. Historically, we have funded our operations with internally generated cash flow and borrowings. Changes in our working capital are driven primarily by our profit levels and management of our inventories. Borrowings under our amended floor plan credit facility to finance our new vehicle inventory may not exceed (i) 100% of the factory invoices for the related vehicles, (ii) 85% of the wholesale value of all pre-owned inventory (as determined in accordance with National Automobile Dealers Association RV Industry Appraisal Guide, or appraised NADA value) for vehicles in the current through 7th prior model years and (iii) 65% of the appraised NADA value with respect to pre-owned vehicles in the 8th, 9th and 10th prior model years. At times, we have made repayments on our amended floor plan credit facility using excess cash flow from operations.
 
    Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under our amended floor plan credit facility. We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial obligations, including our scheduled principal and interest payments, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for at least the next twelve months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.
 
    Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures include expenditures to extend the useful life of our current facilities and expand operations. Historically, our annual maintenance capital expenditures have been lower than our annual depreciation charge. In 2007, we invested approximately $0.8 million in capital expenditures primarily to improve our facility and other maintenance capital expenditures. Our amended floor plan credit facility limits our ability to make capital expenditures to $5.0 million per annum. Based on current estimates, management believes that the amount of capital expenditures permitted to be made under our amended floor plan credit facility will be adequate to grow our business according to our business strategy and to maintain the properties and business of our continuing operations.
 
Debt Service. As of December 31, 2007, we had $59.7 million of borrowings outstanding under our $85.0 million amended floor plan credit facility which was increased to $100.0 million on January 14, 2008, subject to certain covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 1.35.  We have $32.7 million of availability under this facility as of December 31, 2007.  In addition, the amended and restated floor plan facility includes a $15.0 million revolving credit facility which effectively replaced the $15.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit facility during 2007.  The Company is eligible to borrow under this revolving credit facility when its interest coverage ratio, as defined, exceeds 1.40 and the Company’s trailing twelve month net income, as defined, exceeds $500,000.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company was not eligible to borrow under this facility.
 
    The Company shall offer to repurchase Senior Notes from all holders, on a pro rata basis, to the extent of 50% of the Company’s free cash flow, as defined, for any six month period ending on either June 30 or December 31, of any fiscal year (“Free Cash Flow Offer”).  In October 2007, a Free Cash Flow Offer was completed for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 totaling $2,633,052, consisting of $2,450,000 in bond redemption, a $73,500 redemption premium and $109,552 in accrued interest.  The Company was not required to make a Free Cash Flow Offer for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
 
 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
    The Company purchases and sells new vehicles under various consignment arrangements, including one with a related party.  During the term of this agreement, which commenced on December 29, 2001, the Company has purchased virtually all inventories that have been held under consignment.  The total consigned inventory, which is not included in the Company’s balance sheets, approximated $11.0 million and $14.5 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Total inventory purchased by the Company under this consignment arrangement totaled approximately $119 million and $107 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Subsequent to year end, the Company purchased all units on hand in conjunction with the exercise of the option to increase the aggregate commitment to $100 million on the amended floor plan credit facility.
 
    Except as set forth above, at December 31, 2007, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
General. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements included in this Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates 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 value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
  
Revenue Recognition. Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized on delivery, transfer of title and completion of financing arrangements. Revenue from parts sales and service is recognized on delivery of service or product. We receive a commission from the sale of insurance and vehicle service contracts to customers. In addition, we arrange financing for customers through various financial institutions and receive commissions. We may be charged back (“chargebacks”) a portion of the financing fees or vehicle service contract fees in the event of early termination of the contracts by customers. The revenues from financing fees and vehicle service contract fees are recorded at the time of the sale of the vehicles, net of a reserve for estimated future chargebacks based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts.
 
Major Supplier and Dealer Agreements. We purchase substantially all of our new recreational vehicles and replacement parts from various manufacturers at the prevailing prices charged to all authorized dealers. We are subject to dealer agreements with each manufacturer. The manufacturer is entitled to terminate the dealer agreement if we are in material breach of their agreement terms.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of an acquired business. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142," Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, management determined there was no impairment of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, assessed annually, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

-24-
Intangible assets include manufacturing relationships, non-compete agreement, customer database, trade names and trademarks. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years for manufacturer relationships, five years for the non-compete agreement and one year for the customer database. Trade names and trademarks are considered to have indefinite useful lives and are not being amortized.

LIFO Inventory Accounting. Vehicle and parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory costing had been used, the net loss would have been reduced by approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Net income would have decreased approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and increased approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
See Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Inflation
 
Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.
 
Cyclicality
 
Unit sales of RV vehicles historically have been cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the RV retailing industry tends to experience similar periods of decline and recession as the general economy. We believe that the industry is influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit availability.
 
Seasonality and Effects of Weather
 
Our operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and fourth quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and our hospitable warm climate during the winter months. The service and parts business experiences relatively modest seasonal fluctuations.
 
We have a single location near Tampa, Florida, which is in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. As a single-site operator, a severe weather event such as a hurricane could cause severe damage to our property and inventory. In addition, such weather events can cause extended disruptions of our operations. In 2005 and 2006, the coastal areas of Florida were evacuated on occasions due to hurricanes. While this did not materially impact our business or results of operations, we can provide no assurance that a future hurricane or other local disaster could not do so in the future. Although we believe we have adequate insurance coverage (including business interruption coverage), if we were to experience a catastrophic loss, we may exceed our policy limits and /or we may have difficulty obtaining similar insurance coverage in the future.
 

 
-25-
 



 
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness. Outstanding balances under our senior secured revolving line of credit bears interest at a variable rate based on prime or LIBOR as adjusted each interest period. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2007. Amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate based on prime or LIBOR as adjusted each interest period. As of December 31, 2007, based on the aggregate amount of $59.7 million outstanding under our amended floor plan financing facility as of such date, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would have changed our annual floor plan interest expense by approximately $0.6 million.

We continually evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows.
 
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt, including the notes, but with respect to such fixed rate instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. We currently have very limited exposure to exchange rate risk as we have very limited foreign operations. Nearly all of our new and pre-owned vehicle inventories are sourced domestically.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

Board of Directors
Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc.
Seffner, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LD Holdings, Inc., as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income (loss), stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a) (2).  These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

LAZY DAYS’ R.V. CENTER, INC., a wholly owned
subsidiary of LD Holdings, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation: The financial statements include the accounts of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. (“Lazydays” or the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of LD Holdings, Inc. (“LD Holdings”), a non-operating holding company. LD Holdings was acquired on May 14, 2004 by R.V. Acquisition, Inc. (“RV Acquisition”), a newly formed holding company owned by an affiliate of Bruckman, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., Inc. (“BRS”) and certain original shareholders of LD Holdings. These financial statements include the accounts of Lazydays and any obligations of LD Holdings that are pushed down to the subsidiary level. These obligations include the redeemable preferred stock - Class A (see Note 13).
 
Business Operations: The Company sells and services new and pre-owned recreational vehicles and related parts and accessories. It also offers to its customers such ancillary services as extended service contracts and overnight campground facilities. The Company also arranges financing for vehicle sales through third-party financing sources. The majority of the vehicle receivables are due from financial institutions.
 
Major Suppliers and Dealer Agreements: The Company purchases substantially all of its new recreational vehicles and replacement parts from various manufacturers. The Company purchases new vehicles from four major suppliers which, including new vehicles purchased under consignment arrangements (see Note 12), represented approximately 84%, 78% and 81% of the total cost of new vehicle revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
The Company is subject to dealer agreements with each manufacturer. The manufacturer is entitled to terminate the dealer agreement if the Company is in material breach of their agreement terms.
 
Cash: Cash consists of a normal business checking account with its bank, the first $100,000 of which is insured by an agency of the federal government.
 
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized on delivery, transfer of title and completion of financing arrangements. Revenue from parts sales and service is recognized on delivery of service or product. Rental revenue is recorded as unearned revenue at lease inception and recognized ratably over the term of the lease.  Revenue excludes any applicale sales tax which is remitted to governmental authorities.
 
The Company receives commissions from the sale of insurance and vehicle service contracts to customers. In addition, the Company arranges financing for customers through various financial institutions and receives commissions.
 
The Company may be charged back (“charge-backs”) for financing fees, insurance or vehicle service contract commissions in the event of early termination of the contracts by the customers. The revenues from financing fees and commissions are recorded at the time of the sale of the vehicles and a reserve for future charge-backs is established based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts.
 
Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells to customers and arranges third-party financing as is customary in its industry. Interest is not normally charged on receivables. Management establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historic loss experience and current economic conditions. Losses are charged to the allowance when management deems further collection efforts will not produce additional recoveries.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately 58% and 64% respectively, of unit sales were to customers in the state of Florida. This geographic concentration increases the Company’s exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic, demographic and other changes in this region.

Inventories: Vehicle and parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method.  If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory costing had been used, the net loss would have been reduced by $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, net income would have decreased approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and increased approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 

 
-34-
 

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Depreciation is generally provided under accelerated and straight-line methods over estimated useful lives for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or term of the lease. Useful lives range from 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements and from 3 to 7 years for vehicles and equipment. Upon sale or retirement of items of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in earnings of the period of disposition.

Evaluation of Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. The Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the expected net future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets. Management believes no material impairment of long-lived assets exists at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
Loan and Other Costs: Loan and other costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loans ranging from 2.5 to 15 years. Unamortized loan costs of $339,000 were written off in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s line of credit during 2006, and new loan costs of approximately $789,000 were capitalized as part of its property lease renegotiation. New loan costs of approximately $188,000 were capitalized as part of amending the floor plan financing agreement in February 2007.  Loan costs are presented net of accumulated amortization of approximately $3,617,000 and $2,843,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill, totaling $104,865,672 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of an acquired business. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142," Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, management determined there was no impairment of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, assessed annually, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

Intangible assets include manufacturing relationships, non-compete agreement, customer database, trade names and trademarks. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years for manufacturer relationships, five years for the non-compete agreement and one year for the customer database. Trade names and trademarks are considered to have indefinite useful lives and are not being amortized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and debt. Fair values of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are relatively short-term in nature. The carrying amount of debt, except for the Company’s Senior Notes (see Note 9), approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.
 
Management Fees:  The Company entered into a management services agreement with BRS and a shareholder of LD Holdings, whereby the parties agreed to provide general management services to the Company, as defined. In exchange for these services, the Company agreed to pay the parties an annual management fee equal to the greater of: 1.75% of the Company’s annual EBITDA, adjusted for non-cash expenses, management fees, and non-compete payments, or $500,000. Management fee expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $517,643, $553,030, and $726,081, respectively.
 
Advertising Costs: Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations in the year incurred and totaled approximately $4,994,000, $6,630,000 and $6,006,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Segment Information: The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. Based upon definitions contained in SFAS No. 131, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment and has no international operations. The Company’s operating business delivers the same products and services to a common group. The Company’s customers are generally individuals. The Company’s business generally follows the same management and marketing strategies, and operates in a similar regulatory environment.
 
Income Taxes:  Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


-35-
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair values used in intangible impairment analysis, reserve for charge-backs and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Reclassifications: Certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholder’s equity or net income as previously reported.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Financial Statement Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  This FSP partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, the Company interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP.  Effective for 2008, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-2. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this statement.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value.  Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this statement.

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company's financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a "dual approach" because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and the roll-over methods. SAB 108 permitted existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the "dual approach" had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the "dual approach" as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The Company elected to apply the provisions of SAB 108 using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease in accrued liabilities and an increase in retained earnings in the amount of approximately $368,000, net of tax, as of January 1, 2006. This adjustment resulted from the Company overstating liabilities for sales promotional items, which was deemed immaterial to the financial statements in each respective period. This misstatement, increased (decreased) net income in the year reported, originated as follows: 2005 - $128,000; and prior to 2005 - ($496,000).

As discussed further in Note 7, effective October 12, 2006, the Company amended its existing lease agreement with a certain related party, which permitted the lessor to purchase certain of the Company's buildings located on land leased by the Company.  The transaction was treated as capital financing transaction and the assets have remained on the Company's accounting books and records; however, the cost basis of the assets for financial reporting purposes was reset to the net carrying value at the time of the transaction.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the subsequent five years ending December 31 is: 2008 - $1,846,072, 2009 - $1,846,072, 2010 - $1,355,000, 2011 - $667,500, and 2012 - $667,500. 

NOTE 7 - LEASES
 
The Company leases land and certain of its facilities from I-4 Land Holding Limited Company (“I-4”), a related entity owned by a shareholder of the Company, under an operating lease arrangement which expires in December 2022. The lease contains four (4) five-year renewal options upon expiration of the original lease term. The lease requires minimum monthly rental payments of approximately $399,490 in 2007 before abatements (subject to adjustments in 2008, 2013 and 2018 for increases in the CPI) and provides that the lessee pays all property taxes and insurance. Rent is recognized straight-line over the life of the lease resulting in deferred rent during the earlier years of the lease. The Company is responsible for maintenance costs and betterments on the facilities.
 
On October 12, 2006, the Company amended this lease agreement with I-4.  The lease was amended to modify the purchase option from $42 million (subject to CPI increases) through May 14, 2011 to a fair market value purchase option, as defined, through January 15, 2023; to permit I-4 to purchase certain of the Company's buildings located on land leased by the Company from I-4 as part of an asset purchase agreement, as well as reduce rents owed by the Company to I-4 by an aggregate of $2.7 million during 2006, 2007 and 2008. The amended lease agreement also gives the Company a right to purchase certain adjacent land currently rented by a third party.  Finally, the amended lease agreement and asset purchase agreement provided the Company with $11.6 million of cash, preserved its business use of all the leased real property and significantly reduced the Company's future lease obligation without increasing the existing lease term.  The $11.6 million of cash proceeds and the $2.7 million of rent abatements, which were treated similar to lease incentives under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases," are being amortized over the remaining term of the lease, and are presented as deferred rent on the balance sheet.
 
 The Company also leases various office and dealership equipment under operating leases. These leases have terms ranging from 39 months to 66 months and expire through 2011.

NOTE 8 - FLOOR PLAN NOTES PAYABLE
 
The Company maintains floor plan financing agreements with two financial institutions, collateralized by new and pre-owned recreational vehicles aggregating up to $85,000,000. The entire facility may be used to finance new vehicle inventory but only up to $26,000,000 may be used to finance pre-owned vehicle inventory. On October 28, 2004, the agreements were amended further to permit the Company to use floor plan credit to finance new vehicle inventory to be leased by the Company (“rental vehicle inventory”). Borrowings are not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate for rental vehicle inventory or $35,000 per unit. The financial institutions collateralize all vehicles purchased under these agreements and all receivables generated from the sale of these vehicles. The interest rate charged (6.80% and 8.10% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively) is based on the prime rate or LIBOR. Principal is due upon the sale of the respective vehicle.
 
Effective February 22, 2007, the Company amended the floor plan financing agreements extending the terms through February 22, 2011 and obtained an option to increase the aggregate floor plan commitments to $100,000,000 from $85,000,000, which was exercised subsequent to year-end on January 14, 2008. The amended and restated floor plan credit facility also includes a $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (see Note 9).

The Company’s floor plan notes payable are subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants including debt service coverage ratio; current ratio; and limitations on lease rentals, certain executive compensation, capital expenditures, accounts payable, additional debt, liens, dividends, distributions, certain restricted investments, and certain other corporate activities, all as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2007.
 
Interest expense on the floor plan notes payable was approximately $3,543,000, $4,170,000, and $3,565,500 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 9 - LONG-TERM DEBT
 
Long-term debt consists of the following:

   
2007
   
2006
 
11.75% Senior Notes, due 2012
  $ 139,554,000     $ 142,004,000  
                 
Less:  Unamortized discount
    968,423       1,207,346  
                 
Total long-term debt
  $ 138,585,577     $ 140,796,654  
                 

The Company issued $152 million of unsecured, senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Subsequently, on December 6, 2004, the Company successfully completed the exchange of $137 million of its Senior Notes. The remaining Senior Notes totaling $15 million were not eligible for exchange. The Senior Notes mature May 15, 2012 and bear interest at an annual rate of 11.75% payable each November 15 and May 15, to the registered holders at the close of business on November 1 and May 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date.
 
The Senior Notes rank pari passu with the Company’s existing and future senior debt. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the Revolver and amended floor plan credit facility to the extent of the assets collateralizing such debt.
 
The Company has the option to redeem the Senior Notes at any time before May 15, 2008, at a defined premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
 
The Company shall offer to repurchase Senior Notes from all holders, on a pro rata basis, to the extent of 50% of the Company’s free cash flow, as defined, for any six-month period ending on either June 30 or December 31 of any fiscal year, commencing with the six-month period ending December 31, 2004. To the extent the Company’s free cash flow for any six-month period is less than $1.0 million, the Company may elect not to make a free cash flow offer for such period and, in lieu thereof, add such free cash flow to the amount of free cash flow for the next succeeding six-month period. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 no free cash flow existed for offer.
 
The Senior Notes’ indenture includes covenants that limit the ability of the Company to: incur additional debt, including sale and leaseback transactions; pay dividends or distributions on its capital stock or repurchase capital stock; issue stock of subsidiaries; make certain investments; create liens on its assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate with another company; and transfer and sell assets. As noted, the indenture contains a covenant to limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness as measured by its fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined. The Company may incur indebtedness on or before December 31, 2007 if this ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0 or greater than 2.25 to 1.0 if such indebtedness is incurred thereafter. The Company will not incur pari passu indebtedness if the ratio is less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0. The Company obtained a waiver relative to the 2006 lease transaction with an affiliate, which is described in Note 7.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of the Senior Notes at December 31, 2007 to be approximately $120.0 million, based on their publicly traded value at that date compared to a recorded amount of $138.6 million.
 
The Company maintained a five-year senior secured revolving line of credit facility (the “Revolver”). The Revolver provided for borrowings up to $15 million, as defined, which includes a $10 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no outstanding advances under the Revolver at December 31, 2006. Borrowings under the Revolver were collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Revolver was terminated February 22, 2007 and replaced with a $15 million revolving line of credit under the same credit facility as the floor plan arrangement (see Note 8).  The terms and collateral of the new revolving line of credit have not significantly changed from the prior agreement.  Interest on outstanding advances is payable monthly and is based on the prime rate or LIBOR (9.25% at December 31, 2007).

The Company had outstanding letters of credit amounting to $225,000 and $2,800,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense on long term debt was approximately $16,671,000, $17,157,000 and $17,813,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007 are $534,901 and $451,818, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefit is as follows:

December 31, 2007
 
Balance at January 1, 2007
  $ 451,818  
Additions based on tax positions related to prior years
     
Additions based on tax positions related to current year
    83,083  
Balance at December 31, 2007
  $ 534,901  

$509,524 of this amount would increase income from continuing operations, and thus impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if ultimately recognized into income.

It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in their respective federal or state income taxes accounts.  The total amount of interest and penalties recorded in the  statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $26,887 and the amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2007 was $56,296.

No significant increases or decreases in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits are expected in the next 12 months.The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and a Florida state income tax return.  The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2004.

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company established a profit sharing plan with 401(k) provisions (the “Plan”). The Plan covers substantially all employees. The Plan allows employee contributions to be made on a salary reduction basis under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) provision, the Company makes discretionary matching contributions equal to 50% of the employees’ contribution not to exceed 4% of employee pre-tax deferrals. Expense under the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $ 551,000, $537,000, and $523,000 respectively.
 
NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company purchases and sells new vehicles under various consignment arrangements, including one with a related party. During the term of this arrangement, which commenced on December 29, 2001, the Company has purchased virtually all inventory that has been held under consignment. The total consigned inventory, which is not included in the Company’s balance sheets, approximated $11.0 million and $14.3 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total inventory purchased by the Company under this consignment arrangement totaled approximately $119 million, $107 million and $143 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This consignment arrangement, as amended October 12, 2006, required the Company to begin paying consideration for the consignment of such units.  Required payments began in October 2007 and were based on U.S. Treasury rates times the average value of units on hand, as defined.  These payments aggregated $72,724 in 2007.  Subsequent to year end, the Company purchased all units under the consignment arrangement in conjunction with the exercise of the option to increase the aggregate commitment on the amended floor plan credit facility (see Note 8).
 
An employment agreement exists between the Company and the Chief Executive Officer which expires five years from the date of the agreement, or May 14, 2009. The agreement may continue on terms mutually agreeable to the parties. The agreement details various matters including but not limited to base compensation and bonus compensation.
 
In addition, the Company entered into a non-competition agreement with its past Chairman of the Board and a shareholder of LD Holdings, whereby the past Chairman agreed not to engage in any business competing with the businesses of the Company for a period of five years following the acquisition on May 14, 2004, or if later, three years following termination of employment with the Company. In consideration thereof, the past Chairman will be paid $2 million per year so long as he continues to remain employed by the Company or serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, LD Holdings or RV Acquisition, as defined.  The past Chairman retired effective August 2007.
 
The Company is a party to numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company has certain insurance coverage and rights of indemnification. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

            The Series A Preferred stock of RV Acquisition accrues dividends at a rate of 14% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not required to be paid in cash and accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds legally available for payment of the dividend. Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock aggregated $ 39,358,660, at December 31, 2007 and $26,547,610 at December 31, 2006. Upon a sale of RV Acquisition, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to request RV Acquisition to redeem their shares at a price equal to the initial purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Similarly, BRS (as holder of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock) has the right, upon certain change of control transactions, to have such transactions treated as a liquidation event, as a result of which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed at a price equal to the initial purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
 
Effective August 20, 2004, RV Acquisition established a nonqualified stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) for certain of its Directors, officers, consultants and employees. The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board. The Board of Directors may grant options and establish the option term, vesting period and exercise price. The maximum number of shares to which options may be granted shall not exceed 768,301 and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. In August 2004, the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 363,636 stock options to three key employees at an exercise price of $1 per share, and an additional 20,000 stock options were granted to a key employee at an exercise price of $1 per share in November 2004. In December 2006, the Board of Directors granted an additional 243,360 stock options to a key employee at an exercise price of $1 per share. As of December 31, 2007 only 384,572 stock options remain outstanding and 383,729 are available for future grants.  One-third of the option grant is subject to time vesting and becomes exercisable in five equal installments on the anniversary of the grant. One-third of the option grant vests upon BRS reaching an internal rate of return (“IRR”), as defined, of 25% and one-third vests upon BRS reaching an IRR of 30%.
 
-45-
Effective January 1, 2006, RV Acquisition adopted SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.  SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant.  Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was insignificant.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock options under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations.  Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net earnings prior to January 1, 2006 as all options to purchase common stock of the Company had an exercise price equal to, or greater than, the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  Pro forma net income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, computed under the minimum value method of SFAS No. 123, would not have differed significantly from its reported net income.

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 As of December 31, 2007, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2007.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management of the Company has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and testing of the operational effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financing reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.

Code of Conduct
    We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  The purpose of our code is to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; to promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in periodic reports required to be filed by us; and to promote compliance with all applicable rules and regulations that apply to us and our officers and directors.
 
Board of Directors Committees
 
    The audit committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of Messrs. Michael Salvati, Thomas Millner, Charles Macaluso, and Nick Sheppard.  Michael Salvati qualifies as "audit committee financial expert", as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, based on their education, experience and background.  Mr. Salvati serves as the committee chair and is an independent member of the Board of Directors.  The audit committee will, among other things, recommend the annual appointment of auditors with whom the audit committee will review the scope of audit and non-audit assignments and related fees, accounting principles we will use in financial reporting, internal auditing procedures and the adequacy of our internal control procedures.
 
    The compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") is comprised of Messrs. Thomas Baldwin, Thomas Millner and Thomas Donnelly.  The Compensation Committee will, among other things, review and approve the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, authorize and ratify stock option grants and other incentive arrangements, and authorize employment and related agreements.
 
 
The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding future company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution readers of these statements not to apply these statements to other contexts.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
In this section, we provide certain aspects of our compensation program as it pertains to John Horton (Chief Executive Officer), Randy Lay (Chief Financial Officer), Don Wallace (past Chairman), and our three other most highly compensated executive officers in 2007. We refer to these six people as the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEO”. Our discussion focuses on compensation and practices related to our most recently completed fiscal year.

We believe that the performance of each of the Named Executive Officers has the potential to impact both our short-term and long-term profitability. Therefore, we place considerable importance on the design and administration of our executive compensation program.
 
Compensation Committee (“Committee”) Structure

The Compensation Committee is comprised of non-management Directors. No member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of LD Holdings or any of its subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. No member was formerly an officer of LD Holdings or of its subsidiaries. In addition, no executive officer of the Company serves on the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of another entity where a Committee member is employed. Mr. Baldwin, Director and Chairman of the Compensation Committee, is a Managing Director of BRS, which owns approximately 84% of the common stock of RV Acquisition.

The Committee has responsibility for oversight and review of our total compensation strategy taking into consideration existing company-wide benefit plans. The Board of Directors has responsibility for the approval of any stock option grants.

The compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and past Chairman was established through employment agreements that were negotiated as part of the acquisition by RV Acquisition.   The compensation for the Chief Financial Officer was established through a compensation agreement negotiated at date of hire.  As needed, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves any modifications to these agreements.

Pat Overby (General Manager of Sales), Dominic Calabro (CrownClub President), and Steve Ratcliff (Finance and Insurance Manager) do not have employment agreements. The majority of their compensation is cash compensation, 100% of which is commission based on achieving sales targets, profit targets and other performance related targets. These targets are established by the Chief Executive Officer during the annual budgeting process and approved through the budget review by the Board of Directors. This approach has been taken because the majority of the effort of these individuals is short-term in nature (i.e. sales focus) rather than long-term (strategic focus). This approach allows us to be competitive with the compensation structure of the marketplace.

The Committee did not engage an outside compensation and benefits consultant during fiscal year end 2007.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The objectives of our executive compensation program are to provide our executives with a compensation package that supports our goals, is competitive and provides executives with rewards equal to their contribution to the Company’s success. In some cases, compensation was established as part of the negotiated acquisition of the Company by RV Acquisition. In all other situations, executive compensation decisions are driven by a pay for performance philosophy. The goal is to provide a compensation package that is comparable to the marketplace and provide compensation that is commensurate with the executive’s contribution to the Company’s financial performance. Compensation structure is designed to provide a significant portion of total compensation through variable compensation.

 
-51-
 

Objectives of Executive Compensation - The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

1.  
Attract and retain quality executive leadership,
2.  
Increase shareholder value,
3.   Improve our overall performance,
4.   Enhance the individual executive's performance, and
5.   Align incentives with the business unit and company areas most directly impacted by the executive's leadership and performance.
 
    The Committee strives to meet these objectives while maintaining market competitive compensation. The Committee attempts to make compensation decisions consistent with the foregoing objectives and considerations including, in particular, market levels of compensation it believes are necessary to attract, retain, and motivate our executive officers. Therefore, the Committee does not take into account an individual’s net worth or the aggregate wealth accumulated or realizable by the individual from past compensation grants.
 
Determining Executive Compensation

 The Committee oversees the administration of executive compensation plans, including the design, performance measures, and award opportunities for the executive incentive programs, and certain employee benefits. The Committee has the authority to determine, and recommend for Board of Directors approval, all compensation and awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Elements of Compensation 

We provide a competitive mix of pay elements that align executive incentives with shareholder value. The primary components of the executive compensation program are:

 
Base salary,
 
Annual cash incentives,
   
Long-term incentives,
 
Benefits, and
 
Severance benefits.
 
A brief description of these components and related programs follows.

Base Salary - Base salary is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation to executives based upon their experience, duties and scope of responsibility. We pay base salaries to provide a basic level of compensation in order to recruit and retain executives.

The base annual salary for John Horton and Randy Lay is $600,000 and $300,000, respectively. John Horton's base salary is increased each May by a percentage increase in the consumer price index.  For a discussion of the Named Executive Officers’ employment arrangements, please see the narrative accompanying the Summary Compensation Table.
 
 Annual Cash Incentives (“Bonus”) - We use our annual cash incentives as a short-term incentive to drive achievement of our annual performance goals. The goal is to focus on the achievement of annual financial goals and provide cash awards relative to performance. Annual Cash Incentives are designed to:
 
 
Support our strategic business objectives,
 
Promote the attainment of specific financial goals,
 
Reward achievement of specific performance objectives.
 
The annual cash incentive is paid based on the actual EBITDA performance relative to the budgeted EBITDA. EBITDA is net income from operations increased by the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items, as defined.

The Board of Directors sets the targeted EBITDA level through its review and approval of the annual budget. In determining final awards and in evaluating personal performance, the Board considers adjusting EBITDA and other corporate performance measures for unplanned, unusual or non-recurring income or expense. In 2007, the Board exercised its discretion by adding to reported EBITDA the amount of non-compete payments made to Mr. Wallace and management fees paid to BRS and Mr. Wallace.

-52-
As discussed above, 100% of the cash compensation for the General Manager of Sales, CrownClub President, and Finance and Insurance Manager is commission based. Annual cash incentives for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are based on their employment agreements. Based on his employment agreement, the past Chairman is not eligible for an annual cash incentive.

The Chief Executive Officer is eligible to receive a bonus of $200,000 upon achieving 85% of the targeted EBITDA each year. The bonus increases to up to $400,000 upon achieving 115% of the targeted EBITDA. If the EBITDA falls between 85% and 115% of the targeted EBITDA, a pro-rata payment is made. If performance falls below 85% of the targeted EBITDA level, no bonus is paid. The EBITDA as measured for the annual cash incentive was less than 85% of budget for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007. Since performance was below 85%, no annual cash incentive was paid to Mr. Horton.

The Chief Financial Officer is eligible to receive a bonus of $150,000.  The bonus amount is split 75% upon achieving 100% of the targeted EBITDA and 25% upon meeting personal objectives as defined by the Chief Executive Officer.  If the EBITDA falls between 85% and 115% of the targeted EBITDA, a pro-rata payment is made.  If performance falls below 85% of the targeted EBITDA levels, no bonus is paid for the EBITDA portion of the bonus.  The Chief Financial Officer earned a one-time bonus in 2007 in the amount of $75,000 as defined in his compensation agreement.

Long-term Incentive Plans - Our compensation structure also includes a long-term variable compensation at the senior executive levels because of our desire to reward effective long-term management decision making. Long-term incentives are designed to focus attention on long-range objectives and future returns to shareholders. Long-term Incentive Plans utilized by the Company include:

Stock Option Awards: In connection with the purchase of LD Holdings by RV Acquisition, RV Acquisition stock option grants were issued by RV Acquisition to our Chief Executive Officer and past Chairman. Stock option grants are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors pursuant to the 2004 Stock Plan as amended, which is administered by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

We grant only nonqualified stock options. These awards are used to: (1) create a fundamental, long-term linkage between the interests of executives and shareholders, and (2) recruit and retain executive talent.
 
Stock options represent 100% of long-term incentive compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and past Chairman. On August 20, 2004 initial grants of 121,212 shares were made to Mr. Horton and Mr. Wallace. The options are subject to time vesting in five equal installments on the anniversary date of the grant. The options expire after 10 years. The options have an exercise price of $1.00.

On December 28, 2006, an additional grant of 243,360 shares was made to Mr. Horton as a result of his additional responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer. This grant expires after 10 years. One-third of the option grant is subject to time vesting and becomes exercisable in five equal installments on the anniversary of the grant. One-third of the option grant vests upon BRS reaching an IRR of 25% and one-third vests upon BRS reaching an IRR of 30%. All options have an exercise price equal to $1.00. Accordingly, the actual value an executive will realize is tied to future stock price appreciation and is therefore aligned with corporate performance and shareholder stock price returns.

Long-term Incentive Plan: Our General Manager of Sales, CrownClub President, and Finance and Insurance Manager participate in the Long-term Incentive Plan of RV Acquisition. Under the terms of the plan, participants would share pro-rata (based on salary) in a pool equal to approximately 7.5% of the total common equity value of RV Acquisition upon occurrence of a Trigger Event as defined in the plan. A Trigger Event means the sale of RV Acquisition (whether by sale of a majority of its stock or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, including the sale of Lazy Days RV Center, Inc.) or a public offering of RV Acquisition’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds to RV Acquisition and selling stockholders of $60 million (unless the Board determines that no “change of control” has occurred within the meaning of the tax law). If the payment date occurs due to a public offering described above, the payments due under the plan may be made in shares of RV Acquisition’s common stock.

-53-
Benefits - The Company provides the following benefits:

401(k) Plan - We offer a qualified 401(k) Plan. We make matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan to encourage employees to save money for their retirement. The 401(k) Plan, and our contributions to it, enhance the range of benefits we offer to executives and enhance our ability to attract and retain employees. Under the terms of the qualified 401(k) Plan, employees may defer from 1% to a maximum of $15,500 or $20,500 of their eligible pay, if over 50. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions equal to 50% of the employee contribution not to exceed 4% of employee pre-tax deferrals. In 2007, Company matching contributions were approximately $16,000 for the NEOs.
 
Perquisites and Other Benefits - Perquisites and other benefits represent a small part of our overall compensation package. Perquisites for Mr. Horton, Mr. Lay and Mr. Wallace were established by their employment contracts. The primary perquisites for Mr. Horton and Mr. Wallace are payment of health insurance, company paid life and disability insurance payments, and cash payments to cover the tax liability to the executives for the imputed value of such benefits. Certain tax, accounting, and other regulations often subject our executives to taxation on the receipt of certain benefits irrespective of the value such benefit conferred to the executive. In these situations, we typically provide a tax gross-up payment to the executive to reimburse the executive for approximate amounts of additional tax liability the executive will need to pay as a result of receiving such benefits. In addition to these perquisites, Mr. Horton may be reimbursed for tuition to attend up to one short-term management program per year. He may also be reimbursed up to $150,000 for relocation expenses.  Mr. Lay was paid approximately $23,000 for relocation expenses in 2007.
 
Severence Benefits Mr. Horton is entitled to receive severance benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment based on a provision in his employment agreement. This severance arrangement is intended to provide continuity of management in connection with a threatened or actual change in control transaction.  Mr. Horton is entitled to base salary for 24 months and bonus payments based on the bonus that would have been payable to the executive for the fiscal year in which the employment is terminated. He is also entitled to all benefits provided for in their employment agreements for 24 months.

Other Guidelines and Procedures Affecting Executive Compensation 
 
Stock-Based Compensation - Policies related to Stock-Based Compensation include the following:
 
 
Procedures Regarding Committee Approval and Delegation of Authority - The Committee and Board of Directors approve all grants of stock-based compensation.
 
Procedures Regarding Timing and Pricing of Awards - Our policy is to not grant “in-the-money” options or options with exercise prices below market value on the date of grant.
  
    Compensation for Mr. Overby, Mr. Calabro and Mr. Ratcliff is established by Mr. Horton and approved by the Board of Directors through approval of the annual budget.

Summary 
 
    In summary, we believe this mix of salary, potentially significant variable cash incentives and the potential for equity ownership in RV Acquisition motivates our management team to produce strong returns for shareholders. We further believe this program strikes an appropriate balance between the interests and needs of Lazydays in operating our business and appropriate employee rewards based on shareholder value creation.
 
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation and Other Payments to the Named Executive Officers 
 
Overview - The following sections provide a summary of cash and certain other amounts we paid for the year ended December 31, 2007 to the named executive officers.  The compensation we disclose below is presented in accordance with SEC regulations. According to those regulations we are required in some cases to include:
 
 
Amounts paid in previous years,
 
Amounts that may be paid in future years, including amounts that will be paid only upon the occurrence of certain events, such as an involuntary termination,
 
Amounts we paid to the named executive officers which might not be considered “compensation” (for example, non-compete payments), and
 
An assumed value for share-based compensation equal to the fair value of the grant as presumed under accounting regulations, even though such value presumes the option will not be forfeited or exercised before the end of its 10-year life, and even though the actual realization of cash from the award depends on whether our stock price appreciates above its price on the date of grant, whether the executive will continue his employment with us, and when the executive chooses to exercise the option.
 
 Therefore, we encourage you to read the following tables closely. The narratives preceding the tables and the footnotes accompanying each table are important parts of each table. Also, we encourage you to read this section in conjunction with the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, above.

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of the Named Executive Officers for our most recently completed fiscal year.
 
In the column “Salary”, we disclose the amount of base salary paid to the Named Executive Officer during the fiscal year. In the column “Bonus”, we disclose the annual cash incentive that is paid to Named Executive Officers. The column “Option Awards” reflects the dollar amount of stock-based compensation recognized by RV Acquisition for 2007 financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". The amounts relate to stock option awards granted to the named executive under the Amended RV Acquisition, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan as amended. For stock options, the SFAS 123(R) fair value per share is based on certain assumptions which we explain in Note 13 to our financial statements which is included in our annual report on Form 10-K. The amounts shown in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table also include a ratable portion of each grant we made in prior years to the extent the vesting period fell in 2007.
 
In the column “All Other Compensation,” we disclose the sum of the dollar value of:

 
perquisites and other personal benefits, unless the aggregate amount of such compensation is less than $10,000;

Employment Agreements and Other Compensation Plans

Two of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements, John Horton and Don Wallace. Randy Lay, Pat Overby, Dominic Calabro, and Steve Ratcliff have compensation plans that define the financial targets for the year as well as their compensation for achieving each target.

Other Compensation Plans
 
One hundred percent (100%) of the cash compensation for Messrs. Overby, Calabro, and Ratcliff is based on commissions. As is customary for these positions, the vast majority of compensation is based on cash incentives rather than long-term equity incentives. This approach has been taken because of the majority of the effort of these individuals is short-term in nature (i.e. sales focus) rather than long-term (strategic focus). This approach allows us to be competitive with the compensation structure of the marketplace.

        The plan for Mr. Overby and Mr. Calabro provides compensation based on the level of sales and profitability that is attained by the sales group. A portion of his compensation is also based on achieving defined delivery goals and inventory turnover goals.  The plan for Mr. Ratcliff is based on the profitability of the Finance and Insurance Group.

Employment Agreements

On May 14, 2004, our parent, LD Holdings was acquired by RV Acquisition.  Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company and RV Acquisition entered into employment agreements with Don Wallace (President and Chief Executive Officer at the time of the acquisition) and John Horton (Chief Operating Officer at the time of the acquisition). On August 5, 2005, John Horton was named Chief Executive Officer and Don Wallace was named Chairman. On December 28, 2006, the Company amended Mr. Horton’s employment contract to increase his salary and stock options to reflect his new responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer. On August 2, 2007, Don Wallace retired as Chairman of the Company.

Severance Plans

He is also entitled to all benefits provided for in their employment agreements for 24 months.

Stock Purchase Agreement
 
Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, RV Acquisition agreed to acquire all of LD Holdings’ outstanding common and preferred stock for a purchase price of $206.0 million (including repayments of certain indebtedness and subject to pre-closing working capital, tax benefit and cash adjustments). In connection with the acquisition, we repaid all of our existing indebtedness, which was equal to $59.0 million as of May 14, 2004, and paid approximately $11.1 million for certain transaction related fees and expenses. In connection with the acquisition, each holder of shares of our capital stock was entitled to receive a portion of the stock purchase consideration. The ESOP was terminated in connection with the acquisition. Immediately following the acquisition, RV Acquisition’s outstanding Common Stock was equal to approximately 89% owned by BRS LP, its affiliates and co-investors and the remainder was owned by existing members of management and existing stockholders. The stock purchase agreement contained customary provisions for such agreements, including representations and warranties with respect to the condition and operations of the business, covenants with respect to conduct of the business prior to and following the closing date of the stock purchase, and various closing conditions, including the execution of a non-compete agreement with Don Wallace, execution of an escrow agreement, the amendment to our existing floor plan credit facility, the closing of our new senior secured revolving credit facility, an amendment to our facility lease with I-4 (described below), the obtaining of financing and the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties. A portion of the consideration was deposited into escrow accounts, including $20.0 million of cash and $20.0 million of new Series A Preferred Stock of RV Acquisition (to be issued to certain existing stockholders of LD Holdings) to support indemnity obligations of the selling stockholders.
 
Stock Purchase Consideration
 
In connection with the transactions, Don Wallace received $22.9 million in Series A Preferred Stock, $0.5 million in Common Stock, $7.0 million of Restricted Old Notes and $3.4 million in cash with respect to the equity in LD Holdings owned by him. ESOP holders received a total of $24.6 million. Other existing shareholders of LD Holdings received $102.9 million.
 
Stockholders Agreement
 
In connection with the transactions, the stockholders of RV Acquisition, including BRS LP, entered into a stockholders agreement, which establishes the composition of the Board of Directors and provides for certain restrictions and rights with respect to sales and issuances of RV Acquisition’s securities. In particular, the stockholders agreement provides that no employee holder may transfer his or her capital stock of RV Acquisition, except to immediate family members, family trusts and charitable organizations. Employees have the right to sell a pro rata portion of their stock in RV Acquisition if BRS LP elects to sell all or portion of its Holdings stock. BRS LP also has the right to cause a sale of RV Acquisition to occur and to require the other holders of RV Acquisition stock to participate in such a sale. Finally, if RV Acquisition proposes to issue new equity securities to BRS LP, each holder of RV Acquisition stock has the right to purchase its pro rata share of such new securities.
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the transactions, RV Acquisition entered into a registration rights agreement with BRS LP and certain other equity holders of RV Acquisition. Under the registration rights agreement, BRS LP and such other equity holders have the ability to cause RV Acquisition to register securities of RV Acquisition held by the parties to the registration rights agreement and to participate in registrations by RV Acquisition of its equity securities.
 
Employment Agreements; Stock Option Plan
 
Upon closing of the transactions, we entered into new employment agreements with certain key employees. On August 20, 2004, we put in place a new stock option plan which will provide for issuances of common stock of RV Acquisition to certain key management employees, including the named executive officers. See “Item 11—Executive Compensation—Long-term incentive plans".

Management Services Agreement
 
In connection with the transactions, we entered into a management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) with Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., LLC (“BRS LLC”), an affiliate of BRS. Under the terms of this agreement, BRS LLC provides:
 
▪  
general management services;

▪  
assistance with the negotiation and analysis of financial alternatives; and

▪  
other services agreed upon by BRS LLC.
 
In exchange for these services, BRS LLC and Don Wallace will earn an annual fee equal to the greater of:
 
(1)  
1.75% of our annual EBITDA (as defined in the indenture related to the notes); or

(2)  
$500,000.
 
   10.6% of such fee will be payable to Don Wallace and 89.4% will be payable to BRS LLC. In addition to certain restrictions on the payment of the management fee contained in the senior secured revolving credit facility and the amended floor plan credit facility, the Management Services Agreement contains certain restrictions on the payment of that fee. The Management Services Agreement also provides that the payment of all fees and other obligations under the Management Services Agreement will be subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all interest, principal and other obligations on our notes and the new senior secured revolving credit facility in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of Lazydays.
 
BRS LLC provided various advisory services to us related to the transactions. These services included arranging and negotiating the refinancing of the senior secured revolving credit facility and amended floor plan credit facility, arranging and structuring the acquisition, including forming RV Acquisition and planning its capital structure, planning Lazydays’ structure and related services. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, for these services, BRS LLC and Don Wallace received a transaction fee of $3.5 million plus reasonable expenses upon completion of the transactions. 10.6% of such fee was payable to Mr. Wallace and 89.4% was payable to BRS LLC. In addition, BRS LLC will be entitled to receive a transaction fee equal to 1.5% of the transaction value upon any future material acquisition, divestiture, financing or refinancing by RV Acquisition, Holdings or us.
 
Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock to BRS LP and Certain Existing Stockholders of Holdings
 
In connection with the transactions, RV Acquisition issued 62,000 shares of new Series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $62.0 million. The Series A Preferred Stock was purchased through a contribution of $20.0 million of existing Holdings equity to RV Acquisition in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock and an additional $42.0 million, of which $37.5 million was purchased with cash contributed by BRS LP, and $4.5 million was issued to Don Wallace in exchange for Holdings equity contributed to RV Acquisition by him in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue at a rate of 14% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not required to be paid in cash and will accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds legally available for payment of the dividend.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid dividends. If an “organic change” (i.e., a merger or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets) occurs, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may require redemption of all or any portion of their shares at the amount of the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividends, rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to RV Acquisition’s Common Stock. RV Acquisition will be unable to authorize any dividend or distribution, or pay any dividend or make any distribution with respect to any junior securities, unless all accrued and unpaid preferred dividends have been paid in cash. In addition, RV Acquisition will be unable to effect any redemption or repurchase of any junior securities (other than upon the exercise by RV Acquisition’s repurchase rights with respect to any Common Stock issued to employees or others providing services upon a termination of their employment or other service relationship) unless the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote.
 
-63-
The holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right, upon certain change of control transactions, to have such transaction treated as a liquidation event, as a result of which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed at a price equal to the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will also be offered the right to purchase a pro rata share of any other preferred equity securities (or rights to acquire preferred equity securities, such as warrants, convertibles, etc.) to be offered by RV Acquisition to BRS LP or its affiliates on the same terms they are offered to such parties. BRS LP will also grant to the other holders of Series A Preferred Stock the right to participate (on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions) in any sale of Series A Preferred Stock held by BRS LP to a third-party. The $20.0 million of new Series A Preferred Stock of RV Acquisition issued to the existing stockholders of Holdings will be held in escrow to support indemnity obligations of the selling stockholders. During the period that starts on the closing of the stock purchase agreement and ends two years following the filing of certain governmental filings relating to the ESOP with the Department of Labor, the sellers may not transfer certain of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by them other than pursuant to a one-year call arrangement between Don Wallace and one other seller or certain permitted transferees.
 
Issuance of Common Stock to BRS LP and Certain Existing Stockholders of Holdings
 
In connection with the Acquisition, RV Acquisition issued 5,000,000 shares of new Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. Of the $5.0 million of Common Stock, $4.5 million of Common Stock was purchased by BRS LP for cash. The balance of $0.5 million was issued to Don Wallace in exchange for certain equity in Holdings contributed by him to RV Acquisition.
 
Private Placement of RV Acquisition Stock
 
On September 28, 2004, RV Acquisition and BRS LP consummated an offering of RV Acquisition Stock previously held by BRS LP and its affiliates to certain employees of Lazydays. As a result, 186,787 shares of RV Acquisition Common Stock and 1,489,228 shares of RV Acquisition Series A Preferred Stock were sold to such employees that participated in the private placement.
 
The ESOP
 
In July 1999 the ESOP borrowed funds from Lazydays to purchase, through a holding company, shares of Lazydays Class A common stock representing beneficial ownership of 75% of the common stock of Lazydays from Don Wallace which, together with the existing 9% interest the ESOP already owned, made the ESOP an 84% beneficial owner of Lazydays. As part of the 2002 restructuring described below, these shares were converted via merger into the Class A common stock and Class C common stock of Holdings and have been held by the ESOP in the ESOP trust’s suspense account and allocated to individual participants in the ESOP as the loan has been repaid. Subsequently, also as a result of the 2002 restructuring described below, additional equity securities were issued to the Company’s debt holders, which effectively diluted the ESOP’s equity ownership interest in the Company. The loan obligation of the ESOP of $95,523,365 at December 31, 2003 was considered unearned employee ESOP shares and, as such, was recorded as a reduction to Holdings’ stockholders’ equity. Holdings’ contributions to the ESOP, plus any dividends paid on unallocated shares held by the ESOP, have been used to repay the loan principal and interest. Both the loan obligation and the unearned ESOP shares have been reduced by the amount of the loan principal repayments made by the ESOP. The ESOP compensation expense totaled $534,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The compensation expense was computed based upon the fair value of the ESOP shares committed to be released to participants for the relevant year.
 
As ESOP participants became entitled to receive a stock distribution from the ESOP (i.e., in the event of retirement, death, total disability or termination of employment), certain participants put their shares to Holdings. If Holdings’ required payment for those shares exceeded a certain amount, Holdings issued notes to such participants. These notes were payable to various participants in annual installments over a period of five years, bearing interest at 8%. Approximately $1.2 million in principal of these distribution notes was outstanding at December 31, 2003, all of which were repaid in full and cancelled at closing in connection with the Transactions.
 
Certain allocated ESOP shares had premium floor price put rights. Holdings’ aggregate obligation to repurchase the ESOP’s shares under these put obligations at December 31, 2003 was approximately $18.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, all of the allocated shares with premium floor price put rights were paid an amount at closing equal to the applicable put price with respect to such shares. We used the proceeds from the transactions to satisfy any outstanding ESOP obligations discussed above, including Holdings’ outstanding distribution notes and put obligations.
 
In connection with the transactions, the ESOP was terminated and three categories of Holdings’ stock were purchased from the ESOP. Those categories were (1) Class A common stock allocated to ESOP participants and subject to a premium floor price, (2) Class C common stock allocated to ESOP participants and subject to a premium floor price and (3) Class A common stock, whether allocated or unallocated, not subject to a premium floor price. Proceeds received by the ESOP from the sale of the unallocated suspense account shares were used to pay principal and interest on the loan. After such payment, Lazydays forgave any remaining loan balance owed to it by the ESOP.
 
-64-
The ESOP was subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and regulations thereunder, designed to protect the ESOP's participants and beneficiaries. The ESOP was a party to certain corporate and restructuring transactions entered into by Holdings and its affiliates in 1999, 2002 and 2004. In 2005 the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter regarding the termination of the ESOP and in 2006 the Department of Labor finalized their review and determined no outstanding issues exist.
 
Facility Lease Agreement
 
The Company leases land and certain of its facilities from I-4 Land Holding Limited Company (“I-4”), a related entity controlled by Don Wallace under an operating lease arrangement which expires in December, 2022. The lease contains four (4) five-year renewal options upon expiration of the original lease term. The lease requires minimum monthly rental payments of $399,490 before abatements (subject to adjustments in 2008, 2013 and 2018 for increases in the CPI) and provides that the lessee pays all property taxes and insurance. Rent is recognized straight-line over the life of the lease resulting in deferred rent during the earlier years of the lease. The Company is responsible for maintenance costs and betterments on the facilities.
 
On October 12, 2006, the Company amended this lease agreement with I-4.  The lease was amended to modify the purchase option from $42 million (subject to CPI increases) through May 14, 2011 to a fair market value purchase option, as defined, through January 15, 2023 and to permit I-4 to purchase certain of the Company's buildings located on land leased by the Company from I-4 as part of an asset purchase agreement, as well as reduce rents owed by the Company to I-4 by an aggregate of $2.7 million during 2006, 2007 and 2008. The amended lease agreement also gives the Company a right to purchase certain adjacent land currently rented by a third party.  Finally, the amended lease agreement and asset purchase agreement provided the Company with $11.6 million of cash, preserved its business use of all the leased real property and significantly reduced the Company's future lease obligation without increasing the existing lease term. 
 
Consignment Sales Agreement
 
We hold new vehicles under a consignment arrangement with I-4 for up to 180 days. During the term of the agreement, we have purchased all inventories that have been held under consignment. The total consigned inventory, which is not included in our balance sheets, approximated $11.0 million and $14.3 million at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Total consigned inventory purchased by us has totaled approximately $119 million and $107 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. This consignment arrangement, as amended October 12, 2006, requires the Company to pay consideration for the consignment of such units.  Required payments began October 2007 and are based on U.S. Treasury rates times the average value of units on hand, as defined.  These payments aggregated $72,724 in 2007.  Subsequent to year end, the Company purchased all units under the consignment arrangement in conjunction with the exercise of the option to increase the aggregate commitment on the amended floor plan credit facility.
 
Purchase of Restricted Notes; Exchange Offer
 
Don Wallace purchased $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of restricted notes in connection with the offering of our senior notes due 2012, of which $7.0 million in consideration was comprised of equity in Holdings and the remainder was purchased for cash. Because Mr. Wallace is an affiliate, the restricted notes held by him were not eligible to be exchanged in connection with our exchange offer. In connection with our exchange offer consummated in December 2004, $137 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding privately placed senior notes were exchanged for public notes.
