NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Drew” or the “Company”). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew’s wholly-owned active subsidiaries are Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”). Drew, through Lippert and Kinro, manufactures a broad array of components for recreational vehicles (“RVs”) and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufactures components for modular housing, truck caps and buses, as well as for trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo.

Because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and volatile economic conditions, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

2.     Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.

The RV Segment, which accounted for 87 percent and 84 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

● Steel chassis for towable RVs	● Aluminum windows and screens
●Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs	● Chassis components
● Slide-out mechanisms and solutions	● Furniture and mattresses
● Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products	● Entry, baggage, patio and ramp doors
● Entry steps	● Awnings
● Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems	●Other accessories

The Company also supplies certain of these products as replacement parts to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo. Approximately 85 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales are components to manufacturers of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The MH Segment, which accounted for 13 percent and 16 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:

● Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens	●Steel chassis
● Thermoformed bath and kitchen products	●Steel chassis parts
● Steel and fiberglass entry doors	●Axles
● Aluminum and vinyl patio doors

The Company also supplies windows, doors and thermoformed bath products as replacement parts to the manufactured housing aftermarket. Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, corporate expenses, goodwill impairment, accretion, other non-segment items and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3.           Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Acquisitions

RV Entry Door Operation

On February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the next three years. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s RV Segment and in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income since the acquisition date.

The acquisition of this business was recorded on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration	$	1,164
Present value of future payments		482
Total fair value of consideration given	$	1,646
Customer relationships	$	270
Other identifiable intangible assets		40
Net tangible assets		785
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	1,095
Goodwill (tax deductible)	$	551

The customer relationships are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 7 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates leveraging its existing manufacturing capacity and purchasing power to reduce costs in this product line.

Goodwill

Goodwill by reportable segment was as follows (in thousands):

	MH Segment			RV Segment			Total
Accumulated cost – December 31, 2011	$	10,025		$	61,001		$	71,026
Accumulated impairment – December 31, 2011		(9,251	)		(41,276	)		(50,527	)
Net balance – December 31, 2011		774			19,725			20,499
Acquisitions – 2012		-			678			678
Net balance – September 30, 2012	$	774		$	20,403		$	21,177

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The impairment tests are based on fair value, determined using discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates. No impairment tests were required or performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Gross Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Balance		Estimated Useful Life in Years
Customer relationships	$	50,105	$	16,782	$	33,323	3	to	16
Patents		45,934		13,994		31,940	2	to	19
Tradenames		7,959		4,243		3,716	5	to	15
Non-compete agreements		4,988		2,212		2,776	1	to	7
Other intangible assets	$	108,986	$	37,231	$	71,755

Other intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

	Gross Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Balance		Estimated Useful Life in Years
Customer relationships	$	50,645	$	14,483	$	36,162	3	to	16
Patents		46,139		10,651		35,488	2	to	19
Tradenames		8,069		3,408		4,661	5	to	15
Non-compete agreements		4,136		1,388		2,748	3	to	7
Other intangible assets	$	108,989	$	29,930	$	79,059

At September 30, 2012, other intangible assets included $2.0 million related to the Company’s marine and leisure operation, which sells trailers and related axles primarily for hauling small and medium-sized boats. Compared to historical averages, industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats have declined significantly over the past few years. From time to time, throughout this period, the Company conducted impairment analyses on these operations, and the estimated fair value of these operations continued to exceed the corresponding carrying values, thus no impairment has been recorded. A further downturn in industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats, or in the profitability of the Company’s operations, could result in a future non-cash impairment charge for the related other intangible assets.

8.            Long-Term Indebtedness

The Company had no debt outstanding at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. The Company had $8.1 million outstanding at September 30, 2011 under its line of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.5 percent.

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at September 30, 2012), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at September 30, 2012) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2016. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $3.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $47.0 million at September 30, 2012.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At September 30, 2012, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2014.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at September 30, 2012. The remaining availability under these facilities was $196.6 million at September 30, 2012. The Company believes this availability, together with the $32.6 million in cash at September 30, 2012, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility at September 30, 2012, the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

 Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share		22,724		22,427		22,800		22,447

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the effect of 797,038 and 1,467,393 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options and deferred stock units. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the effect of 592,038 and 1,519,726 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options and deferred stock units. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions those shares were subject to were not yet achieved.

In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2012 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. No shares have been purchased in 2012. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price, and other factors.

Litigation

See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. On June 7, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously affirmed the decision of the United States District Court, Central District of California, which had granted Kinro’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against Kinro asserted by Plaintiffs.  Consequently, the litigation was terminated.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

In connection with several acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at September 30, 2012, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital of 14.9 percent.

The following table summarizes the contingent consideration liability as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

				Fair Value
	Estimated			of Estimated
	Remaining			Remaining
Acquisition	Payments			Payments
Schwintek products	$	11,616	(a)	$	9,605
Level-UpTM six-point leveling system		3,135	(b)		2,359
Other acquired products		806	(c)		672
Total	$	15,557		$	12,636

(a) Contingent consideration for three of the four products expires in March 2014. Contingent consideration for the remaining product will cease five years after the product is first sold to customers. Two of the four products acquired have a combined remaining maximum contingent consideration of $9.7 million, of which the Company estimates $8.5 million will be paid. Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period, the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

(b) Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period in February 2016, these products have no maximum contingent consideration.

(c) Contingent consideration expires at various dates through October 2025. Certain of these products have a combined remaining maximum of $3.4 million, while the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

In the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, the net impact of the quarterly fair value adjustments and accretion of the liability was an expense recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, notes receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

11.           Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The amounts deferred under this Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using management’s projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. Over the next five years, the Company’s long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 40 percent per year. For further information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Derivative Instruments

At September 30, 2012, the Company had derivative instruments for 7.1 million pounds of aluminum, approximately 20 percent of the Company’s anticipated annual aluminum purchases, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with aluminum costs. These derivative instruments expire between October 2012 and September 2013, at an average mid-west aluminum price of $1.02 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net gain or loss was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2012 the corresponding asset was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at December 31, 2011 the corresponding liability was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, both as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first nine months of 2012, derivative instruments for 2.5 million pounds were settled at a loss of $0.3 million.

 Non-recurring

The following table presents the carrying value on the measurement date of any assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, on a non-recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the corresponding non-recurring losses recognized during the nine months ended (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012				September 30, 2011
	Carrying Value		Non-Recurring Losses		Carrying Value		Non-Recurring Losses
Assets
Vacant owned facilities	$	5,794	$	486	$	10,123	$	-

Total liabilities	$	-	$	10	$	583	$	203

Vacant Owned Facilities

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of eight vacant owned facilities. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate. During the first nine months of 2012, the carrying value of three of these vacant owned facilities exceeded their fair value, therefore an impairment charge of $0.5 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company sold at carrying value two of the facilities previously recorded as a vacant facility and reopened another. At September 30, 2012, the Company had five vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $5.8 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company has leased to third parties two of these owned facilities with a combined carrying value of $3.8 million, both for five year terms, for a combined rental income of $0.4 million annually. Both of these leases also contain an option for the lessee to purchase the facility at an amount in excess of carrying value.

During the first nine months of 2011, the fair value of vacant owned facilities exceeded their carrying value, therefore no impairment charges were recorded.

Other Intangible Assets

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets associated with an acquired patent. Based on the analyses, the $1.2 million carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. As a result, the Company was required to determine the fair value of these intangible assets. Fair value was determined based on the present value of internal cash flow estimates. The resulting fair value of these intangible assets was nominal, therefore the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million, of which $1.0 million was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Assets of Acquired Businesses

The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Vacant Leased Facilities

The Company recorded a charge of less than $0.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the first nine months of 2012 due to the early termination of leases of vacant facilities by the lessor. In the first nine months of 2011, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the exit from leased facilities.

12.           New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated standards related to additional requirements and guidance regarding disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance expanded required disclosures, including the reasons for and amounts of all transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, and for Level 3 fair value measurements added (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) a description of the valuation processes used, and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those inputs. This guidance was effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements other than additional disclosures.

In August 2011, the FASB issued updated standards intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test unless the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Report.

The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.

The Company’s operations are conducted through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Lippert”) and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kinro”). Each has operations in both the RV and MH Segments. At September 30, 2012, the Company operated 31 plants in the United States.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company’s RV Segment manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

●Steel chassis for towable RVs	● Aluminum windows and screens
●Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs	●Chassis components
●Slide-out mechanisms and solutions	● Furniture and mattresses
●Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products	● Entry, baggage, patio and ramp doors
● Entry steps	● Awnings
●Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizerand leveling systems	●Other accessories

The Company also supplies certain of these products as replacement parts to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo (“Adjacent Industries”). Approximately 85 percent of the Company’s RV Segment net sales are components to manufacturers of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs. Travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs accounted for 84 percent of all RVs shipped by the industry in 2011.

The Company’s MH Segment manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:

● Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens	● Steel chassis
● Thermoformed bath and kitchen products	● Steel chassis parts
● Steel and fiberglass entry doors	● Axles
●Aluminum and vinyl patio doors

The Company also supplies windows, doors and thermoformed bath products as replacement parts to the manufactured housing aftermarket. Certain of the Company’s MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Recreational Vehicle Industry

An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).

According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, the Company’s primary RV markets, increased 12 percent in the first nine months of 2012 to 188,200 units compared to the first nine months of 2011, as a result of:

· An estimated 8 percent increase in retail demand in the first nine months of 2012 to 180,900 units, as compared to the same period of 2011, despite continued concerns about high unemployment and slower economic growth in the U.S.

· RV dealers increasing inventory levels by an estimated 7,500 more units in the first nine months of 2012 than in the comparable period of 2011.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company estimates that dealer inventories of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs across the U.S and Canada increased by about 23,000 units during the twelve months ended September 2012, compared to a 14,100 unit increase in retail sales for the same period. Industry surveys indicate that RV dealers are cautious, but generally comfortable with their level of towable RV inventory in relation to the increases they anticipate in retail sales.

While the Company measures its RV sales against industry-wide wholesale shipment statistics, the underlying health of the RV industry is determined by retail demand. A comparison of the number of units and the year-over-year percentage change in industry-wide wholesale shipments and retail sales of travel trailers and fifth-wheel RVs, as reported by Statistical Surveys, Inc., as well as the resulting increase or (decrease) in dealer inventories, for both the United States and Canada,is as follows:

	Wholesale					Retail					Estimated Unit Impact on
	Units		Change			Units		Change			Dealer Inventories
Quarter ended September 30, 2012(1)		56,700		19	%		62,900		6	%		(6,200	)
Quarter ended June 30, 2012		71,100		8	%		79,300		6	%		(8,200	)

Quarter ended December 31, 2011		45,200		16	%		29,500		4	%		15,700
Twelve months ended September 30, 2012		233,400		13	%		210,400		7	%		23,000
Quarter ended September 30, 2011		47,500		-2	%		59,400		4	%		(11,900	)
Quarter ended June 30, 2011		66,000		6	%		75,100		8	%		(9,100	)
Quarter ended March 31, 2011		54,200		10	%		33,500		7	%		20,700
Quarter ended December 31, 2010		39,000		4	%		28,300		12	%		10,700
Twelve months ended September 30, 2011		206,700		5	%		196,300		7	%		10,400

(1)  Retail sales data for September 2012 has not been published, therefore retail and dealer inventory data include an estimate for retail units sold.

While production over the last twelve months was strong, unless retail demand matches these production levels, dealers could reduce the pace of their orders for additional units, and our customers, the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), would need to adjust their production levels in future months.

Ultimately, industry-wide retail sales, and therefore production levels of RVs will depend to a significant extent on the course of the economy. Further, retail sales of RVs have historically been closely tied to consumer confidence, which according to one measure reached a five-year high this October. The Company is encouraged that several key customers have expressed their long-term optimism by expanding production capacity. The Company also remains confident in its ability to exceed industry growth rates through new products, market share gains, acquisitions and ongoing investments in quality and in customer service.

The RVIA has a generic advertising campaign promoting the “RV lifestyle”. The current campaign is targeted at both parents aged 30-49 with children at home, as well as couples aged 50-64 with no children at home. The popularity of traveling in RVs to NASCAR and other sporting events, more family-oriented domestic vacations, and using RVs as second homes, also appear to motivate consumer demand for RVs. RVIA studies indicate that RV vacations cost significantly less than other forms of vacation. In the long-term, the Company expects RV industry sales to be aided by positive demographics, and the continued popularity of the “RV Lifestyle”.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Manufactured Housing Industry

Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory on permanent steel undercarriages or chassis to which axles and wheels are attached. The homes are then transported to a manufactured housing dealer which sells and transports the home to the buyer’s home site. The manufactured home is installed pursuant to a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, methods to site and secure the home at a home site, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally regulated national building code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured homes and must be built to local, state or regional building codes. A manufactured home may be sited on owned or leased land.

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (“IBTS”) reported that for the first nine months of 2012, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were 41,900 units, an increase of 13 percent compared to the first nine months of 2011. In the third quarter of 2012, there were 14,200 industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, a more moderate increase of 2 percent compared to the same period of 2011. Industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes in the month of September 2012 declined 13 percent, and the Company estimates that industry-wide shipments declined 5 percent to 10 percent in October 2012. These comparative declines resulted primarily from an increase in production last September and October in response to orders by FEMA, which did not recur in 2012.

Industry-wide wholesale shipments by the manufactured housing industry declined from 1999 to 2011 for a variety of reasons. Because of the current real estate and economic environment, including the availability of foreclosed site built homes at abnormally low prices, high interest rate spreads between conventional mortgages for site-built homes and loans for manufactured homes, and the current retail and wholesale credit markets, industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes may remain low until these conditions improve. In addition, certain provisions of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act which regulate financial transactions could make certain types of mortgages historically used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes more difficult to obtain. If this law remains unchanged, industry sales of manufactured homes could decline significantly, although legislation has recently been introduced to reduce regulatory burdens which impede access to affordable manufactured housing financing.

Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. A typical section may range in size from 800 to 1,200 square feet. During 2011, multi-section homes were 51 percent of the total manufactured homes produced, down from 59 percent and 63 percent in 2010 and 2009, respectively. However, in recent months, multi-section homes have increased as a percent of the total manufactured homes produced, but there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. Multi-section manufactured homes contain more of the Company’s products than single-section manufactured homes. The decline in multi-section homes prior to 2012 may have been partly due to the weak site-built housing market, as a result of which many retirees have not been able to sell their primary residence, or may have been unwilling to sell at currently depressed prices, and purchase a more affordable multi-section manufactured home as many had done historically.

The Company believes that long-term growth prospects for manufactured housing may be positive because of (i) the quality and affordability of the home, (ii) favorable demographic trends, including the increasing number of retirees who, in the past, had represented a significant market for manufactured homes, and (iii) pent-up demand by retirees who have been unable or unwilling to sell their primary residence and purchase a manufactured home.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Highlights

§ Net sales in the 2012 third quarter increased to $226 million, 36 percent higher than in the 2011 third quarter. This sales growth was primarily the result of a 43 percent sales increase by Drew’s RV Segment, which accounted for 86 percent of Drew’s consolidated net sales in the 2012 third quarter. RV Segment sales growth was primarily due to a 19 percent increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs, Drew’s primary RV market, as well as acquisitions, market share gains, and increased sales to adjacent markets. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, consolidated net sales increased 27 percent.

Sales for the twelve months ended September 2012 exceeded $860 million, a Company record for any twelve month period.

§ In October 2012, consolidated net sales reached approximately $85 million, an increase of 35 percent from October 2011 sales, as a result of strong growth in the Company’s RV Segment. Acquisitions did not have a significant impact on sales growth in October 2012, as most acquisitions were completed more than a year ago. It is estimated that industry-wide shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs increased 30 percent in October 2012. This increase in industry-wide RV production was apparently in response to very strong initial orders following the 2012 annual RV open house in Elkhart, Indiana in late September. On the other hand, it is estimated that industry-wide production of manufactured homes declined 5 percent to 10 percent in October. This comparative decline resulted from an increase in production last October in response to orders by FEMA, which did not recur in 2012.

§ For the third quarter of 2012, the Company reported net income of $9.8 million ($0.43 per diluted share), a 74 percent increase over net income of $5.6 million ($0.25 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2011.

Sales in the 2012 third quarter increased nearly $60 million compared to the year-earlier quarter, on which the Company achieved incremental operating profit of $5.7 million. This is an improvement from the year-over-year incremental margin the Company achieved in the second quarter of 2012, and in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company’s operating profits continue to be impacted by higher labor and related costs because of lower operating efficiencies resulting from greater than expected demand, as well as costs related to facility realignment, process changes and lean manufacturing initiatives. Further, the Company continues to incur greater than normal outsourcing costs on tempered glass due to capacity constraints.

Over the past several months, the Company has developed and implemented action plans to increase efficiencies and improve customer service. In certain product lines, the Company has begun to realize the benefits of these initiatives, including overtime declining significantly from the second quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2012. However, implementing these plans to improve production efficiencies has taken longer than expected because it is very difficult to re-organize production flow while still operating near capacity at several key facilities. The full impact of these plans will take time to realize, but the Company expects production efficiencies to further improve before the 2013 selling season.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Material cost as a percent of sales was lower than in the prior year third quarter. After rising briefly at the beginning of 2012, steel and aluminum costs have declined over the past two quarters, which benefitted operating results in the third quarter of 2012. However, steel and aluminum costs remain volatile.

The effective tax rate for the 2012 third quarter was lower than in the prior year as a result of declines in tax reserve requirements, primarily due to the expiration of certain federal and state tax statute of limitations, as well as higher federal and state tax credits.

§ After investing $53 million for seven acquisitions and $46 million in capital expenditures since the beginning of 2011, at September 30, 2012 the Company was debt-free and had $33 million in cash, along with significant borrowing capacity. The Company remains well-positioned to continue to take advantage of investment opportunities to further improve results.

RV Segment – Third Quarter

Net sales of the RV Segment in the third quarter of 2012 increased 43 percent compared to the third quarter of 2011. Net sales of components were to the following markets (in thousands):

	2012		2011		Change
RV OEMs:
Travel Trailers and Fifth-Wheels	$	162,719	$	117,946		38	%
Motorhomes		8,376		3,304		154	%
RV Aftermarket		5,355		4,108		30	%
Adjacent Industries		18,507		10,870		70	%
Total RV Segment net sales	$	194,957	$	136,228		43	%

According to the RVIA, industry-wide wholesale shipments for the three months ended September 30, were:

	2012		2011		Change
Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel RVs		56,700		47,500		19	%
Motorhomes		6,800		5,300		28	%

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the third quarter of 2012 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to market share gains of $13 million and net sales from acquisitions completed during the last twelve months which added $9 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2012.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for motorhomes exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes primarily due to market share gains of $3 million, and acquisitions which added $1 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2012. In the past year, the Company has been expanding its product line of components for motorhomes in order to increase its customer base and market penetration.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Net sales to adjacent industries, including components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, increased due to market share gains of $4 million and acquisitions which added $4 million in net sales during the third quarter of 2012. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in these adjacent industries. Customer relationships gained through an acquisition completed by the Company during the third quarter of 2011, along with increased focus provided by the Company’s specialty markets sales team which was added earlier in 2011, are expected to continue to aid the Company’s growth in these adjacent industries.

The trend in the Company’s average product content per RV produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new RVs. The Company’s average product content per type of RV, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to RV OEMs for the different types of RVs produced for the twelve months ended September 30, divided by the industry-wide wholesale shipments of the different types of RVs for the same period, was:

Content per:	2012		2011		Change
Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel RV	$	2,685	$	2,244		20	%
Motorhome	$	1,002	$	617		62	%

The Company’s average product content per type of RV excludes sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket and sales to adjacent industries. Content per RV is impacted by market share gains, acquisitions and new product introductions, as well as changes in selling prices for the Company’s products. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company refined the calculation of content per unit to better identify aftermarket sales, as well as sales to adjacent industries. There was no change in total reported net sales for the RV Segment, and all prior periods have also been refined for consistency.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $5.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2011. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was less than the Company’s expected 15 - 20 percent incremental margin.

The operating margin of the RV Segment in the third quarter of 2012 was negatively impacted by:

· Excess labor and related costs due to greater than expected demand, as well as start-up costs associated with the new aluminum extrusion operation and the RV awning product line. Further, due to capacity constraints, the Company outsourced a portion of its tempered glass requirements, which added $0.8 million to cost of goods sold.

Over the past several months, the Company has developed and implemented action plans to increase efficiencies and improve customer service. In particular, among other initiatives, the Company (i) has hired a Vice President of Customer Service and increased its customer service capabilities, (ii) has purchased additional glass tempering equipment, which should be operational by the second quarter of 2013, (iii) is expanding its RV chassis production capacity, (iv) is implementing lean manufacturing principles, and (v) is consolidating its furniture operation. In certain product lines, the Company has begun to realize the benefits of these initiatives, including overtime declining significantly from the second quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2012. However, implementing these plans to improve production efficiencies has taken longer than expected because it is very difficult to re-organize production flow while still operating near capacity at several key facilities. The full impact of these plans will take time to realize, but the Company expects production efficiencies to further improve before the 2013 selling season. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company also expects to incur costs related to facility re-alignment, and process improvement, as it did in the third quarter.

Further, in the seasonally slower months ahead, the Company plans to retain more production employees than typical in the slow winter season in order to level out production by building to stock certain high volume products. Retaining employees will also enable the Company to minimize hiring and training costs when demand ramps up in early 2013.

· Fixed costs were approximately $2 million higher than in the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to additional staff and facilities, as well as higher amortization, largely related to acquisitions and other investments.

· Higher warranty and workers compensation insurance costs, primarily due to higher claims experience, as well as higher supplies expense.

Partially offset by:

· Lower material costs. After rising briefly at the beginning of 2012, steel and aluminum costs have declined over the past two quarters, which benefitted operating results in the third quarter of 2012. However, steel and aluminum costs remain volatile. As a result of rising aluminum costs at the end of the 2012 third quarter, the Company recorded a positive adjustment from its aluminum hedge of $0.7 million. In addition, employee training and lean manufacturing initiatives enabled the Company to reduce scrap costs in the 2012 third quarter by $0.9 million as compared to the 2012 second quarter.

· The spreading of fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs over a $59 million larger sales base.

RV Segment – Year to Date

Net sales of the RV Segment in the first nine months of 2012 increased 39 percent compared to the first nine months of 2011. Net sales of components were to the following markets (in thousands):

Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel RVs		188,200		167,700		12	%
Motorhomes		21,300		20,000		7	%

The Company’s net sales growth in components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs during the first nine months of 2012 exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs primarily due to the acquisitions completed during the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, which added $39 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2012, market share gains of $31 million, as well as sales price increases of $8 million.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for motorhomes exceeded the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of motorhomes primarily due to market share gains of $6 million, as well as acquisitions which added $4 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2012. In the past year, the Company has been expanding its product line of components for motorhomes in order to increase its customer base and market penetration.

Net sales to adjacent industries, including components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo, increased due to market share gains of $16 million and acquisitions which added $13 million in net sales during the first nine months of 2012. The Company believes there are significant opportunities in these adjacent industries. Customer relationships gained through an acquisition completed by the Company during the third quarter of 2011, along with increased focus provided by the Company’s specialty markets sales team which was added earlier in 2011, are expected to aid the Company’s growth in these adjacent industries.

Operating profit of the RV Segment was $47.2 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $6.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2011. This increase in RV Segment operating profit was less than the Company’s expected 15 - 20 percent incremental margin.

The operating margin of the RV Segment in the first nine months of 2012 was negatively impacted by:

· Excess labor, overtime and related costs due to greater than expected demand, as well as start-up and integration costs associated with the acquisitions completed in 2011 and the new aluminum extrusion operation and the RV awning product line. Further, due to capacity constraints, the Company outsourced a portion of its tempered glass requirements, which added over $1.5 million to cost of goods sold.

Over the past several months, the Company has developed and implemented action plans to increase efficiencies and improve customer service. In particular, among other initiatives, the Company (i) has hired a new Vice President of Customer Service and increased customer service capabilities, (ii) has purchased additional glass tempering equipment, which should be operational by the second quarter of 2013, (iii) is expanding its RV chassis production capacity, (iv) is implementing lean manufacturing principles, and (v) is consolidating its furniture operation.

Total Homes Produced		14,200		13,900		2	%
Total Floors Produced		22,300		21,300		4	%

The change in the Company’s net sales of components for new manufactured homes was less than the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, primarily because the timing of shipments to the Company’s customers is often different from when those customers ship the finished manufactured home, and customer mix as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers.

Net sales to adjacent industries increased due to market share gains. The Company believes there are opportunities in these adjacent industries, as well as in the manufactured housing aftermarket, and expects growth to accelerate due to the increased focus provided by the Company’s new sales teams added in 2011.

The trend in the Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced is an indicator of the Company’s overall market share of components for new manufactured homes. Manufactured homes contain one or more “floors” or sections which can be joined to make larger homes. The larger homes typically contain more of the Company’s products. The Company’s average product content per manufactured home produced by the industry and total manufactured home floors produced by the industry, calculated based upon the Company’s net sales of components to manufactured housing OEMs for newly produced manufactured homes for the twelve months ended September 30, divided by the number of manufactured homes and manufactured home floors produced by the industry, respectively, for the same period, was:

	2012		2011		Change
Content per Home Produced	$	1,464	$	1,472		(1	%)
Content per Floor Produced	$	962	$	946		2	%

The Company’s average product content per manufactured home excludes sales of replacement parts to the aftermarket and sales to adjacent industries. Content per manufactured home and content per floor are impacted by market share gains, acquisitions and new product introductions, as well as changes in selling prices for the Company’s products. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company refined the calculation of content per unit to better identify aftermarket sales, as well as sales to adjacent industries. There was no change in total reported net sales for the MH Segment, and all prior periods have also been refined for consistency.

Based upon relatively consistent sales, operating profit of the MH Segment of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 was consistent with the third quarter of 2011.

The Company’s net sales growth in components for new manufactured homes was less than the increase in industry-wide wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, primarily because the timing of shipments to the Company’s customers is often different from when those customers ship the finished manufactured home, and customer mix as the Company’s content per unit varies between customers. Net sales to manufactured housing OEMs in the first nine months of 2012 included $2 million from acquisitions.

Net sales to adjacent industries increased due to market share gains and acquisitions. The Company believes there are opportunities in these adjacent industries, as well as in the manufactured housing aftermarket, and expects growth to accelerate due to the increased focus provided by the Company’s new sales teams added in 2011.

Operating profit of the MH Segment was $10.9 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to the $10 million increase in net sales. This increase in MH Segment operating profit was consistent with the Company’s target 15 to 20 percent incremental margin for its established products.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2012 increased $0.7 million compared to the first nine months of 2011, largely due to higher professional fees.

Depending upon the weighted average cost of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

Income Taxes

The income tax rate for the 2012 third quarter and for the first nine months of 2012 was lower than the income tax rate for the comparable periods of 2011 due to declines in tax reserve requirements, primarily due to the expiration of certain federal and state tax statute of limitations, as well as higher federal and state tax credits. The Company expects the effective income tax rate for the full year 2012 to be approximately 37 percent. Further, the Company estimates that the full year effective 2013 tax rate is expected to be approximately 38 percent.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

· A $14.8 million smaller increase in inventories in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. The smaller increase in inventories in 2012 was primarily due to the higher than expected sales during the first nine months of 2012, as well as through the concerted effort of management to improve inventory turns on a sustainable basis. In the first nine months of 2011 the Company experienced a more typical seasonal increase in inventory, as well as an increase in raw material costs. Inventory turnover for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 improved to 7.5 turns from 6.3 turns for the full year 2011, and 6.0 turns for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.

· A $9.6 million larger increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to the increase in sales, production and earnings.

· A $6.6 million increase in net income in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011.

Partially offset by:

· A $3.4 million higher seasonal increase in accounts receivable in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 due to higher sales. Accounts receivable balances remain current, with only 23 days sales outstanding at September 30, 2012.

In the seasonally slower months ahead, the Company plans to retain more production employees than typical in the slow winter season in order to level out production by building to stock certain high volume products. As a result, the Company expects to see a higher than normal increase in finished goods inventory levels over the next several months. Retaining employees will enable the Company to minimize hiring and training costs when demand ramps up in early 2013.

Over the long-term, based on the Company’s historical collection and payment patterns, as well as inventory turnover, the Company estimates that working capital should increase or decrease at approximately 10 percent to 12 percent of the corresponding change in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, especially in the short-term.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had derivative instruments for 7.1 million pounds of aluminum, approximately 20 percent of the Company’s anticipated annual aluminum purchases, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with aluminum costs. These derivative instruments expire between October 2012 and September 2013, at an average mid-west aluminum price of $1.02 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net gain or loss was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first nine months of 2012, derivative instruments for 2.5 million pounds were settled at a loss of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and amortization was $19.2 million in the first nine months of 2012, and is expected to aggregate $25 million to $26 million for the full year 2012. Further, the Company estimates that depreciation and amortization will be approximately $24 million in 2013.

Cash flows used for investing activities for the first nine months of 2012 included capital expenditures of $22.0 million. Since January 1, 2011, in order to better serve its customers, the Company has invested in both capacity expansion and cost reduction opportunities, adding approximately 800,000 square feet of production space. Estimates for the full year 2012 are that capital expenditures will be $27 million to $28 million, including the addition of a second glass tempering operation, expansion of one of its RV chassis facilities, the purchase of a larger facility to consolidate all of its furniture operations, and the completion of the aluminum extrusion operation, in addition to routine maintenance capital expenditures.

The Company estimates that capital expenditures will be $25 million to $30 million in 2013. However, certain capital projects included in the 2012 capital expenditure forecast may not be completed until next year. If delayed, this will not change the Company’s overall cash flow, but rather just the timing between years. Additional capital expenditures may also be required depending on the extent of the sales growth and other initiatives by the Company. The 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations.

The Company’s capital expenditures are for maintenance and growth. Over the long-term, based on the Company’s historical capital expenditures, the maintenance portion has averaged approximately 1.5 percent of net sales, while the growth portion has averaged approximately 10 percent of the annual increase in net sales. However, there are many factors that can impact this relationship, such as new initiatives by the Company, especially in the short-term.

On February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the next three years.

Cash flows used for investing activities of $61.3 million in the first nine months of 2011 included four acquisitions for $49.3 million and capital expenditures of $17.7 million. These were funded from available cash, including $5.0 million received from the maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills classified as short-term investments, plus borrowings pursuant to the Company’s $50 million line of credit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used for financing activities of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2012 included payment of $3.3 million of contingent consideration, partially offset by $2.8 million received from the exercise of stock options and deferred stock units. At September 30, 2012 the Company had no outstanding debt and $32.6 million of cash. However, due to the seasonal increase in working capital, the Company had to borrow from time to time during the first quarter of 2012 under its line of credit, with such borrowings reaching a high of $16.2 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2011 of $7.6 million were primarily due to a net increase in indebtedness of $8.1 million.  During the first nine months of 2011, the Company had invested $67.1 million in acquisitions and capital expenditures, utilizing its available cash and necessitating borrowing under its line of credit.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

In connection with several acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a $12.6 million liability for the aggregate fair value of these expected contingent consideration liabilities at September 30, 2012. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company paid $3.3 million related to these contingent consideration liabilities, and expects to pay $5.7 million over the next twelve months. For further information see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”). The maximum borrowings under the Company’s line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at September 30, 2012), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at September 30, 2012) depending on the Company’s performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2016. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $3.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company’s line of credit was $47.0 million at September 30, 2012.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million “shelf-loan” facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (“Prudential”). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At September 30, 2012, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2014.

Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the “shelf-loan” facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s borrowing availability at September 30, 2012. The remaining availability under these facilities was $196.6 million at September 30, 2012. The Company believes this availability, together with the $32.6 million in cash at September 30, 2012, is more than adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and “shelf-loan” facility at September 30, 2012, the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

Borrowings under both the line of credit and the “shelf-loan” facility are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2012 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. No shares have been purchased in 2012. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price and other factors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s governance documents and committee charters and key practices have been posted to the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com) and are updated periodically. The website also contains, or provides direct links to, all SEC filings, press releases and investor presentations. The Company has also established a Whistleblower Policy, which includes a toll-free hotline (877-373-9123), to report complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal controls, auditing matters or other concerns. The whistleblower policy and procedure for complaints can be found on the Company’s website (www.drewindustries.com).

CONTINGENCIES

Additional information required by this item is included under Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

INFLATION

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of steel and aluminum, and components used by the Company which are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of these commodities have historically been volatile, and over the past few months prices have continued to fluctuate. The Company has experienced increases in its labor costs in the first nine months of 2012 which may be partially related to inflation. Over the past several months, the Company has found it difficult to find qualified production employees for certain facilities and has incurred higher than normal labor costs.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated standards related to additional requirements and guidance regarding disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance expanded required disclosures, including the reasons for and amounts of all transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, and for Level 3 fair value measurements added (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) a description of the valuation processes used, and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those inputs. This guidance was effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements other than additional disclosures.

In August 2011, the FASB issued updated standards intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test unless the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, notes receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, acquisitions, plans and objectives of management, markets for the Company’s Common Stock and other matters. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

Forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, net sales, expenses and income (loss), cash flow, and financial condition, whenever they occur in this Form 10-Q are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this Form 10-Q, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

37

DREW INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, in addition to other matters described in this Form 10-Q, pricing pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel, steel-based components and aluminum) and other components, availability of credit for financing the retail and wholesale purchase of products for which we sell our components, availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retail dealers and manufacturers, levels of repossessed manufactured homes and RVs, changes in zoning regulations for manufactured homes, sales declines in the industries to which we sell our products, the financial condition of our customers, the financial condition of retail dealers of products for which we sell our components, retention and concentration of significant customers, the successful integration of acquisitions, realization of efficiency improvements, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, and the outcome of litigation. In addition, international, national and regional economic conditions and consumer confidence affect the retail sale of products for which we sell our components.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has historically been exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its financing activities. At September 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

The Company is also exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials, specifically steel and aluminum. The Company has entered into derivative instruments for the purpose of managing a portion of the exposures associated with fluctuations in aluminum costs. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in fair value of the underlying exposures. See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of derivative instruments.

The Company has historically been able to obtain sales price increases to offset the majority of raw material cost increases. However, there can be no assurance that future cost increases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such increases will match raw material cost increases.

Additional information required by this item is included under the caption “Inflation” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management included in its evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company continually evaluates its disclosure controls and procedures to determine if changes are appropriate based upon changes in the Company’s operations or the business environment in which it operates.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Over the last few quarters, the Company has converted the systems used by acquired businesses to its existing ERP software and business processes, except one which is planned to be converted in the fourth quarter. Further, the Company has selected a new ERP system, and is in preliminary stages of designing and implementing that system. The full implementation is expected to take several years. No significant changes to internal controls are expected during the balance of 2012.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for discussion of a case pending against Kinro, Inc. On June 7, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously affirmed the decision of the United States District Court, Central District of California, which had granted Kinro’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against Kinro asserted by Plaintiffs.  Consequently, the litigation was terminated.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management’s opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012, would not be material to the Company’s financial position or annual results of operations.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2012, except as noted below.

Key operating management.

In February and April 2012, we entered into employment and compensation agreements with four key executives for 2012 - 2014, which replaced recently expired arrangements.

Certain litigation.

On June 7, 2012, Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the decision of the District Court dismissing all claims against Kinro. Consequently, the litigation was terminated.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

2. Segment Reporting

     The Company has two reportable segments; the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment") and the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment"). Intersegment sales are insignificant.

     The RV Segment, which accounted for 87 percent and 84 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used primarily in the production of RVs, including:

Steel chassis for towable RVs	Aluminum windows and screens
Axles and suspension solutions for towable RVs	Chassis components
Slide-out mechanisms and solutions	Furniture and mattresses
Thermoformed bath, kitchen and other products	Entry, baggage, patio and ramp doors
Entry steps	Awnings
Manual, electric and hydraulic stabilizer and leveling systems	Other accessories

     The Company also supplies certain of these products as replacement parts to the RV aftermarket. In addition, the Company manufactures components for truck caps, buses, and trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo. Approximately 85 percent of the Company's RV Segment net sales are components to manufacturers of travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

     The MH Segment, which accounted for 13 percent and 16 percent of consolidated net sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, manufactures a variety of products used in the production of manufactured homes and to a lesser extent, modular housing and mobile office units, including:

Vinyl and aluminum windows and screens	Steel chassis
Thermoformed bath and kitchen products	Steel chassis parts
Steel and fiberglass entry doors	Axles
Aluminum and vinyl patio doors

     The Company also supplies windows, doors and thermoformed bath products as replacement parts to the manufactured housing aftermarket. Certain of the Company's MH Segment customers manufacture both manufactured homes and modular homes, and certain of the products manufactured by the Company are suitable for both types of homes. As a result, the Company is not always able to determine in which type of home its products are installed.

     Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company's resources are made by the Company's key executives, with oversight by the Board of Directors. This group evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, defined as income or loss before interest, corporate expenses, goodwill impairment, accretion, other non-segment items and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment's utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the RV and MH Segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis Of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

     The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Drew Industries Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Drew" or the "Company"). Drew has no unconsolidated subsidiaries. Drew's wholly-owned active subsidiaries are Lippert Components, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Lippert"), and Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Kinro"). Drew, through Lippert and Kinro, manufactures a broad array of components for recreational vehicles ("RVs") and manufactured homes, and to a lesser extent manufactures components for modular housing, truck caps and buses, as well as for trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment and other cargo.

     Because of fluctuations in dealer inventories, and volatile economic conditions, current and future seasonal industry trends may be different than in prior years.

     The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

     In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include some information necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

Commitments And Contingencies

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

     See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. On June 7, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously affirmed the decision of the United States District Court, Central District of California, which had granted Kinro's motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against Kinro asserted by Plaintiffs. Consequently, the litigation was terminated.

     In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. All such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. While these matters could materially affect operating results when resolved in future periods, it is management's opinion that after final disposition, including anticipated insurance recoveries in certain cases, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012, would not be material to the Company's financial position or annual results of operations.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

     In connection with several acquisitions, if certain sales targets for the acquired products are achieved, the Company would pay additional cash consideration. The Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of this contingent consideration at September 30, 2012, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows using a market participant's weighted average cost of capital of 14.9 percent.

     The following table summarizes the contingent consideration liability as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

					Fair Value
		Estimated			of Estimated
		Remaining			Remaining
Acquisition		Payments			Payments
Schwintek products	$	11,616	(a)	$	9,605
Level-UpTM six-point leveling system		3,135	(b)		2,359
Other acquired products		806	(c)		672
Total	$	15,557		$	12,636

(a) Contingent consideration for three of the four products expires in March 2014. Contingent consideration for the remaining product will cease five years after the product is first sold to customers. Two of the four products acquired have a combined remaining maximum contingent consideration of $9.7 million, of which the Company estimates $8.5 million will be paid. Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period, the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

(b) Other than expiration of the contingent consideration period in February 2016, these products have no maximum contingent consideration.

(c) Contingent consideration expires at various dates through October 2025. Certain of these products have a combined remaining maximum of $3.4 million, while the remaining products have no maximum contingent consideration.

     As required, the liability for this contingent consideration is measured quarterly, considering actual sales of the acquired products, updated sales projections, and the updated market participant weighted average cost of capital. Depending upon the weighted average costs of capital and future sales of the products which are subject to contingent consideration, the Company could record adjustments in future periods.

     In the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, the net impact of the quarterly fair value adjustments and accretion of the liability was an expense recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

     The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company's contingent consideration liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2011	$	14,561
Acquisitions		67
Payments		(3,253	)
Accretion		1,324
Fair value adjustments		(63	)
Balance at September 30, 2012		12,636
Less current portion in accrued expenses and other current liabilities		5,667
Total long-term portion in other long-term liabilities	$	6,969

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, notes receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, self-insurance obligations, lease terminations, asset retirement obligations, long-lived assets, post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, segment allocations, contingent consideration, environmental liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, other available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results and events could differ significantly from management estimates.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

11. Fair Value Measurements

     The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recurring

     The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012								December 31, 2011
		Total		Level 1	Level 2			Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Deferred Compensation

     The Company has an Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The amounts deferred under this Plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of the notional investments elected by the Plan participants. Deferred compensation assets and liabilities were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.

Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions

     Liabilities for contingent consideration related to acquisitions were valued using management's projections for long-term sales forecasts, including assumptions regarding market share gains and future industry-specific economic and market conditions, and a market participant's weighted average cost of capital. Over the next five years, the Company's long-term sales growth forecasts for products subject to contingent consideration arrangements average approximately 40 percent per year. For further information on the inputs used in determining the fair value, and a roll-forward of the contingent consideration liability, see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Changes in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value measurement. A change in the assumptions used for sales forecasts would result in a directionally similar change in the fair value liability, while a change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value liability. If there is an increase in the fair value liability, the Company would record a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses, and if there is a decrease in the fair value liability, the Company would record a benefit in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Derivative Instruments

     At September 30, 2012, the Company had derivative instruments for 7.1 million pounds of aluminum, approximately 20 percent of the Company's anticipated annual aluminum purchases, in order to manage a portion of the exposure to movements associated with aluminum costs. These derivative instruments expire between October 2012 and September 2013, at an average mid-west aluminum price of $1.02 per pound. While these derivative instruments are considered to be economic hedges of the underlying movement in the price of aluminum, they are not designated or accounted for as a hedge. These derivative instruments were valued at fair value using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of similar instruments at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting net gain or loss was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2012 the corresponding asset was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at December 31, 2011 the corresponding liability was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, both as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first nine months of 2012, derivative instruments for 2.5 million pounds were settled at a loss of $0.3 million.

Non-recurring

     The following table presents the carrying value on the measurement date of any assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, on a non-recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the corresponding non-recurring losses recognized during the nine months ended (in thousands):

		September 30, 2012				September 30, 2011
		Carrying		Non-Recurring		Carrying	Non-Recurring
		Value		Losses		Value	Losses
Assets
Vacant owned facilities	$	5,794	$	486	$	10,123	$	-

Liabilities
Vacant leased facilities	$	-	$	10	$	583	$	203
Total liabilities	$	-	$	10	$	583	$	203

Vacant Owned Facilities

     During the first nine months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of eight vacant owned facilities. The determination of fair value was based on the best information available, including internal cash flow estimates, market prices for similar assets, broker quotes and independent appraisals, as appropriate. During the first nine months of 2012, the carrying value of three of these vacant owned facilities exceeded their fair value, therefore an impairment charge of $0.5 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company sold at carrying value two of the facilities previously recorded as a vacant facility and reopened another. At September 30, 2012, the Company had five vacant owned facilities, with an estimated combined fair value of $5.8 million, classified in fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has leased to third parties two of these owned facilities with a combined carrying value of $3.8 million, both for five year terms, for a combined rental income of $0.4 million annually. Both of these leases also contain an option for the lessee to purchase the facility at an amount in excess of carrying value.

     During the first nine months of 2011, the fair value of vacant owned facilities exceeded their carrying value, therefore no impairment charges were recorded.

Other Intangible Assets

     During the first nine months of 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets associated with an acquired patent. Based on the analyses, the $1.2 million carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. As a result, the Company was required to determine the fair value of these intangible assets. Fair value was determined based on the present value of internal cash flow estimates. The resulting fair value of these intangible assets was nominal, therefore the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million, of which $1.0 million was recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Assets of Acquired Businesses

     The Company valued the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of businesses on the respective acquisition dates. Depending upon the type of asset or liability acquired, the Company used different valuation techniques in determining the fair value. Those techniques included comparable market prices, long-term sales, profitability and cash flow forecasts, assumptions regarding future industry-specific economic and market conditions, a market participant's weighted average cost of capital, as well as other techniques as circumstances required. For further information on acquired assets and liabilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Vacant Leased Facilities

     The Company recorded a charge of less than $0.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the first nine months of 2012 due to the early termination of leases of vacant facilities by the lessor. In the first nine months of 2011, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the exit from leased facilities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

12. New Accounting Pronouncements

     In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated standards related to additional requirements and guidance regarding disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance expanded required disclosures, including the reasons for and amounts of all transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, and for Level 3 fair value measurements added (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) a description of the valuation processes used, and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those inputs. This guidance was effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's financial statements other than additional disclosures.

     In August 2011, the FASB issued updated standards intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test unless the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Long-Term Indebtedness

8. Long-Term Indebtedness

     The Company had no debt outstanding at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. The Company had $8.1 million outstanding at September 30, 2011 under its line of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.5 percent.

     On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Credit Agreement") for a $50.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the "Lenders"). The maximum borrowings under the Company's line of credit can be increased by $20.0 million upon approval of the Lenders. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit is designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Prime Rate, but not less than 2.5 percent, plus additional interest up to 0.8 percent (0 percent at September 30, 2012), or (ii) LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent (2.0 percent at September 30, 2012) depending on the Company's performance and financial condition. The Credit Agreement expires on January 1, 2016. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $3.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the line of credit. Availability under the Company's line of credit was $47.0 million at September 30, 2012.

     Simultaneously, the Company entered into a $150.0 million "shelf-loan" facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates ("Prudential"). The facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company's request, in one or a series of transactions, Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, to mature no more than twelve years after the date of original issue of each Senior Promissory Note. Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential. At September 30, 2012, there were no Senior Promissory Notes outstanding. This facility expires on February 24, 2014.

     Both the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the "shelf-loan" facility are subject to a maximum leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness to 2.5 times the trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company's borrowing availability at September 30, 2012. The remaining availability under these facilities was $196.6 million at September 30, 2012. The Company believes this availability, together with the $32.6 million in cash at September 30, 2012, is more than adequate to finance the Company's anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

     Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and "shelf-loan" facility at September 30, 2012, the Company was required to maintain minimum interest and fixed charge coverages, and to meet certain other financial requirements. At September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.

     Borrowings under both the line of credit and the "shelf-loan" facility are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries.

     The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the effect of 797,038 and 1,467,393 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options and deferred stock units. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the effect of 592,038 and 1,519,726 shares of common stock, respectively, subject to stock options and deferred stock units. Such shares were excluded from total diluted shares because they were anti-dilutive or the specified performance conditions those shares were subject to were not yet achieved.

     In 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in block trades. Of this authorization, 535,135 shares were repurchased prior to 2012 at an average price of $18.64 per share, or $10.0 million. No shares have been purchased in 2012. The number of shares ultimately repurchased, and the timing of the purchases, will depend upon market conditions, share price, and other factors.

3. Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Acquisitions

Acquisitions

RV Entry Door Operation

     On February 21, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the United States RV entry door operation of Euramax International, Inc. The acquired business had annualized sales of approximately $6 million. The purchase price was $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million was paid at closing, with the balance to be paid over the next three years. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's RV Segment and in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income since the acquisition date.

The acquisition of this business was recorded on the acquisition date as follows(in thousands):

Cash consideration	$	1,164
Present value of future payments		482
Total fair value of consideration given	$	1,646
Customer relationships	$	270
Other identifiable intangible assets		40
Net tangible assets		785
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	1,095
Goodwill (tax deductible)	$	551

     The customer relationships are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 7 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates leveraging its existing manufacturing capacity and purchasing power to reduce costs in this product line.

Goodwill

Goodwill by reportable segment was as follows (in thousands):

		MH Segment			RV Segment			Total
Accumulated cost – December 31, 2011	$	10,025		$	61,001		$	71,026
Accumulated impairment – December 31, 2011		(9,251	)		(41,276	)		(50,527	)
Net balance – December 31, 2011		774			19,725			20,499
Acquisitions – 2012		-			678			678
Net balance – September 30, 2012	$	774		$	20,403		$	21,177

     Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The impairment tests are based on fair value, determined using discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates. No impairment tests were required or performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

		Gross		Accumulated		Net	Estimated Useful
		Cost		Amortization		Balance	Life in Years
Customer relationships	$	50,105	$	16,782	$	33,323	3 to 16

Non-compete agreements		4,988		2,212		2,776	1 to 7
Other intangible assets	$	108,986	$	37,231	$	71,755

Other intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

		Gross		Accumulated		Net	Estimated Useful
		Cost		Amortization		Balance	Life in Years
Customer relationships	$	50,645	$	14,483	$	36,162	3 to 16

Tradenames		8,069		3,408		4,661	5 to 15
Non-compete agreements		4,136		1,388		2,748	3 to 7
Other intangible assets	$	108,989	$	29,930	$	79,059

     At September 30, 2012, other intangible assets included $2.0 million related to the Company's marine and leisure operation, which sells trailers and related axles primarily for hauling small and medium-sized boats. Compared to historical averages, industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats have declined significantly over the past few years. From time to time, throughout this period, the Company conducted impairment analyses on these operations, and the estimated fair value of these operations continued to exceed the corresponding carrying values, thus no impairment has been recorded. A further downturn in industry shipments of small and medium-sized boats, or in the profitability of the Company's operations, could result in a future non-cash impairment charge for the related other intangible assets.
