1. | The July 31, 2009 amounts are derived from the annual audited financial statements. The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and change in cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009. The results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. |
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys Form 10-Q on March 9, 2009 for the six month period ended January 31, 2009, the Companys management determined that the statements of condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2009 did not properly reflect certain proceeds from the disposition of trading investments that were purchased with the intent to be held as available-for-sale securities as cash flows from investing activities. Rather, such proceeds were reflected as cash flows from operating activities. This classification error resulted in an overstatement of cash flows provided by operating activities of $5,550 and an equal understatement of cash flows provided by investing activities. The statement of condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2009 has been restated to reflect the proper classification. |
Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS No. 167 amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)) by adding previously considered qualifying special purpose entities (the concept of these entities was eliminated by SFAS No. 166). In addition, companies must perform an analysis to determine whether the Companys variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Companies must also reassess on an ongoing basis whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 167 may have on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |

6. | Treasury Stock |
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased 3,980,000 shares at $29.00 per share and held them as treasury stock at a total cost of $115,420. |
The common stock shares were repurchased by the Company from the Estate of Wade F. B. Thompson (the Estate) in a private transaction. The late Wade F. B. Thompson was Thors former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The repurchase transaction was evaluated and approved by directors of Thors Board who are not affiliated with the Estate. At the time of the repurchase, the shares represented 7.2% of Thors common stock outstanding. Thor used available cash to purchase the shares. |
7. | Investments and Fair Value Measurements |
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: |
7
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||
The following table represents the Companys fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (cash, cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2010: |

$ | 67,563 | $ | | $ | 89,283 | $ | 156,846 | ||||||||
Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds traded in an active market with no restrictions. |
In addition to the above investments, the Company holds non-qualified retirement plan assets of $6,739 at January 31, 2010 ($6,016 at July 31, 2009). These assets, which are held for the benefit of certain employees of the Company, represent Level 1 investments primarily in mutual funds which are valued using observable market prices in active markets. They are included in Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Level 3 assets consist of municipal bonds with an auction reset feature (auction rate securities or ARS) whose underlying assets are primarily student loans which are substantially backed by the federal government. Auction rate securities are long-term floating rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates. After the initial issuance of the securities, the interest rate on the securities is reset periodically, at intervals established at the time of issuance based on market demand for a reset period. Auction rate securities are bought and sold in the marketplace through a competitive bidding process often referred to as a Dutch auction. If there is insufficient interest in the securities at the time of an auction, the auction may not be completed and the rates may be reset to pre-determined penalty or maximum rates based on mathematical formulas in accordance with each securitys prospectus. |

Auction Rate Securities |
At January 31, 2010, we held $14,150 (par value) of long-term investments and $76,300 (par value) of short-term investments comprised of taxable and tax-exempt ARS, which are variable-rate debt securities and have a long-term maturity with the interest being reset through Dutch auctions that are typically held every 7, 28 or 35 days. The securities have historically traded at par and are callable at par at the option of the issuer. Interest is typically paid at the end of each auction period or semi-annually. At January 31, 2010, the majority of the ARS we held were AAA-rated or equivalent, and none were below A-rated or equivalent, with most collateralized by student loans substantially backed by the U.S. federal government. |
Since February 12, 2008, most auctions for these securities have failed and there is no assurance that future auctions of the ARS in our investment portfolio will succeed and, as a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the par value of our investment in the near term may be limited or not exist. An auction failure means that the parties wishing to sell securities could not. |
In November 2008, the Company elected to participate in a rights offering by UBS AG (UBS), a Swiss bank which is one of the Companys investment providers, that provides the Company with the right (the Put Rights) to sell to UBS at par value ARS purchased from UBS (approximately $76,300 of our entire ARS portfolio of $90,450 at par) at any time during a two-year sale period beginning June 30, 2010. |
The Put Rights are not transferable or marginable. By electing to participate in the rights offering the Company granted UBS the right, exercisable at any time prior to June 30, 2010 or during the two-year sale period, to purchase or cause the sale of the Companys ARS held by UBS (the Call Right). UBS has stated that it will exercise the Call Right only for the purpose of restructurings, dispositions or other solutions that will provide their clients with par value for their ARS. UBS will pay their clients the par value of their ARS within one day of settlement of any Call Right transaction. Notwithstanding the Call Right, the Company would be permitted to sell ARS to parties other than UBS, in which case the Put Rights attached to the ARS that are sold would be extinguished. |
As consideration for this transaction, Thor has released UBS from all claims relating to the marketing or sale of ARS (except claims for consequential damages) and has agreed not to sue UBS for such claims. During 2008, UBS was sued by the Massachusetts Securities Division and by the New York Attorney General in separate civil lawsuits alleging improper sales practices relating to ARS. The rights offering |
9
reflects the terms of a settlement entered into by UBS and various regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the New York Attorney General, and the Massachusetts Securities Division, pursuant to which UBS agreed to pay a fine of $150 million. UBS has also been sued by investors in civil lawsuits and arbitrations seeking damages relating to sales of ARS. |
Through its acceptance of the UBS offer, the Company also became eligible to participate in a no net cost loan program pursuant to which it may borrow up to the par value of its ARS until June 30, 2010. The Company is still permitted to obtain ARS based financing from lenders other than UBS. |
At January 31, 2010, there was insufficient observable ARS market information available to determine the fair value of our ARS investments, including the Put Rights. Therefore, management, assisted by Houlihan, Smith & Company, Inc., an independent consultant, determined an estimated fair value. In determining the estimate, consideration was given to credit quality, final stated maturities, estimates on the probability of the issue being called prior to final maturity, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and broker quotes. Based on this analysis, we recorded a temporary impairment of $1,167 ($724 net of tax in other comprehensive income which is in the equity section of the balance sheet) related to our long-term ARS investments of $14,150 (par value) that were not part of the UBS settlement as of January 31, 2010. These same assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our UBS ARS portfolio described above, including the Put Rights. |
The enforceability of the Put Rights results in a put option which has been recognized as a separate freestanding instrument that is accounted for separately from the ARS investment. The Company has elected to account for this put option at fair value and elected to treat this portion of our ARS portfolio as trading securities. As such, for the six months ended January 31, 2010 we recorded a charge to operations of $3,187 related to the Put Rights provided by the settlement and an other-than-temporary impairment benefit to operations of $3,187 on the $76,300 (par value) portion of our ARS portfolio to properly record our investment at par as we may decide not to hold these ARS until final maturity with the opportunity provided by the Put Rights. |
We have no reason to believe that any of the underlying issuers of our ARS are presently at risk of default. Through January 31, 2010, we have continued to receive interest payments on the ARS in accordance with their terms. We believe we will be able to liquidate our investments without significant loss primarily due to the government guarantee of the underlying securities; however, it could take until the final maturity of the underlying notes (up to 30 years) to realize our investments par value. Based on the terms of the UBS Call Right, which is exercisable at any time after June 30, 2010, effective June 30, 2009, the ARS held by UBS were classified as short-term. |
The remaining ARS held by another institution remain classified as long-term at January 31, 2010. Although there is uncertainty with regard to the short-term liquidity of these securities, the Company continues to believe that the carrying amount represents the fair value of these marketable securities because of the overall quality of the underlying investments and the anticipated future market for such investments. |
In addition, the Company has the intent and ability to hold all of its ARS until the earlier of: the market for ARS stabilizes, the issuer refinances the underlying security, a buyer is found outside of the auction process at acceptable terms, the underlying securities have matured or the Company exercises its right to put the securities to UBS, one of the Companys investment providers. |

9. | Product Warranties |
Thor provides customers of our products with a warranty covering defects in material or workmanship for primarily one year with longer warranties of up to two years on certain structural components. We record a liability based on a consistent calculation reflecting our best estimate of the amounts necessary |
11
to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors we use in estimating the warranty liability include a history of units sold, existing dealer inventory, average cost incurred and a profile of the distribution of warranty expenditures over the warranty period. A significant increase in dealer shop rates, the cost of parts or the frequency of claims could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or periods in which such claims or additional costs materialize. Management believes that the warranty reserve is adequate. However, actual claims incurred could differ from estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserves. Warranty reserves are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a quarterly basis. |

The Company obtains certain vehicle chassis from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. These agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will supply chassis at the Companys various production facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The manufacturer does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company and, accordingly, the Company accounts for the chassis as consigned, unrecorded inventory. Chassis are typically converted and delivered to customers within 90 days of delivery to the Company. If the chassis is not converted within |
12
90 days of delivery to the Company, the Company generally purchases the chassis and records the inventory. At January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, chassis on hand accounted for as consigned, unrecorded inventory was approximately $17,760 and $31,201 respectively. |
The Company has been named in approximately 325 complaints, some of which were originally styled as putative class actions (with respect to which class certification was ultimately denied) and some of which were filed by individual plaintiffs, filed against manufacturers of travel trailers and manufactured homes supplied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for use as emergency living accommodations in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The complaints have been transferred to the Eastern District of Louisiana by the federal panel on multidistrict litigation for consideration in a matter captioned In re FEMA Trailer Formaldehyde Products Liability Litigation, Case Number MDL 07-1873, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The complaints generally assert claims for damages (for health related problems, medical expenses, emotional distress and lost earnings) and for medical monitoring costs due to the presence of formaldehyde in the units. Some of the lawsuits also seek punitive and/or exemplary damages. Thus far, however, none of the lawsuits allege a specific amount of damages sought and instead make general allegations about the nature of the plaintiffs claims without placing a dollar figure on them. The Company strongly disputes the allegations in these complaints, and intends to vigorously defend itself in all such matters. |
In addition, we are involved in certain litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of our business, most of which are based upon state lemon laws, warranty claims, other claims and accidents (for which we carry insurance above a specified deductible amount). In this regard, the Company is a party to two companion lawsuits pending in Jefferson County, Texas which were brought against it and its affiliates, each of which arises from a March 29, 2006 crash of a bus manufactured by a subsidiary of the Company. The cases were filed in the 172nd State District Court on January 30, 2008 and in the 60th State District Court on March 28, 2008. At the time of the crash, the bus was transporting a Beaumont, Texas high school girls soccer team to a playoff game. Two girls died in the crash, as many as nine others were seriously injured, and the remainder of the girls, their two coaches, and the bus driver sustained less serious physical injuries. The plaintiffs in these two cases generally allege negligence and product liability claims including that the bus was not crashworthy, that the bus was unreasonably dangerous, and that the design and manufacture of the bus and its component parts were defective. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for wrongful death, past and future physical pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, past and future physical disfigurement, past and future physical impairment, past and future medical and health care expenses, past and future loss of earning capacity, past and future loss of parental companionship and society, as well as exemplary damages, costs of court, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. Additionally, the Company has received requests for indemnification and tenders of defense from the bus chassis supplier and the distributor of the bus. Although written discovery has been exchanged in the matter and dozens of depositions have been taken of the plaintiffs and the bus driver, a significant amount of discovery remains. Mediation of the matter is scheduled to occur by mid-June 2010, and the matter is set for trial October 4, 2010. The Company strongly disputes the allegations in these complaints, and intends to vigorously defend itself in all such matters. |
While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to the litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, including the litigation described above, we believe that while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our consolidated results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation or liquidity. |

11. | Provision for Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Companys financial position or its results of operations. |
It is the Companys policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For the six month period ended January 31, 2010, the Company released approximately $500 of uncertain tax benefit reserve recorded at July 31, 2009 related to effective settlement of certain uncertain tax benefits and accrued $800 in interest and penalties related to the remaining uncertain tax benefits recorded at July 31, 2009. For the three month period ended January 31, 2010, no material change relative to unrecognized tax benefits was recorded and $400 in interest and penalties have been accrued. |
The Company and its corporate subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, multiple U.S. state income tax returns and multiple Canadian income tax returns. The Company has been audited for U.S. federal purposes through fiscal 2007. Periodically, various state and local jurisdictions conduct audits, therefore, a variety of other years are subject to state and local review. |
The Company anticipates a decrease of approximately $1,600 in unrecognized tax benefits and $400 of accrued interest related to these unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months from (1) expected settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions, and (2) lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations. Actual results may differ materially from this estimate. |

13. | Loan Transactions and Related Notes Receivable |
On January 15, 2009, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the First Credit Agreement) with Stephen Adams, in his individual capacity, and Stephen Adams and his successors, as trustee under the Stephen Adams Living Trust (the Trust and together with each of the foregoing persons, the Borrowers), pursuant to which the Company loaned $10,000 to the Borrowers (the First Loan). The Borrowers own, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in FreedomRoads Holding Company, LLC (FreedomRoads Holding), the parent company of the Companys largest dealer. Pursuant to the terms of the First Credit Agreement, the Borrowers agreed to use the proceeds of the First Loan solely to make an equity contribution to FreedomRoads Holding to enable FreedomRoads Holding or its subsidiaries to |
14
repay its principal obligations under floorplan financing arrangements with third parties in respect of products of the Company and its subsidiaries. |
The principal amount of the First Loan is payable in full on January 15, 2014 and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable in kind for the first year and is payable in cash on a monthly basis thereafter. |
On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Second Credit Agreement (the Second Credit Agreement) with the Borrowers pursuant to which the Company loaned an additional $10,000 to the Borrowers (the Second Loan). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Credit Agreement, the Borrowers agreed to use the proceeds of the Second Loan solely to make an equity contribution to FreedomRoads Holding to be used by FreedomRoads Holding or its subsidiaries to purchase the Companys products. |
The maturity date of the Second Loan was originally January 29, 2010 but was extended as discussed below. The principal amount of the Second Loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable in cash and the first four interest payments were due on April 30, 2009, July 31, 2009, October 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and have been paid in full. |
The First Credit Agreement and Second Credit Agreement each contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and acceleration provisions for loans of this type. |
On December 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the Third Credit Agreement) with Marcus Lemonis, Stephen Adams, in his individual capacity, and Stephen Adams and his successors, as trustee under the Trust (each of the foregoing persons, on a joint and several basis, the Third Loan Borrowers), pursuant to which the Company loaned $10,000 to the Third Loan Borrowers (the Third Loan). The Third Loan Borrowers own, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in FreedomRoads Holding, the indirect parent company of FreedomRoads, LLC (FreedomRoads). Pursuant to the terms of the Third Credit Agreement, the Third Loan Borrowers agreed to use the proceeds of the Third Loan solely to provide a loan to one of FreedomRoads Holdings subsidiaries which would ultimately be contributed as equity to FreedomRoads to be used for working capital purposes. |
The maturity date of the Third Loan is December 22, 2014 (the Maturity Date). The principal amount of the Third Loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable, at the option of the Third Loan Borrowers, either in cash or in kind at each calendar quarter end from March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011. Interest is payable in cash quarterly in arrears from December 31, 2011 through the Maturity Date. The principal amount of the Third Loan is payable on the following dates in the following amounts: December 31, 2011 $500; December 31, 2012 $1,000; December 31, 2013 $1,100; and December 22, 2014 $7,400. The Third Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and acceleration provisions for a loan of this type. |
In connection with the Third Loan, the First Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, provide for a cross default with the Second Credit Agreement and the Third Credit Agreement and to add certain additional events of default (the Amendment to the First Loan). |
Also in connection with the Third Loan, the Second Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Second Loan to June 30, 2012, provide for semi-annual payments of principal in equal principal installments of $1,000 each, commencing on June 30, 2010, with a final payment of $6,000 on June 30, 2012, provide for a |
15
cross default with the First Credit Agreement and the Third Credit Agreement and add certain additional events of default (the Amendment to the Second Loan). Interest at 12% per annum will continue to be payable in cash on a quarterly basis. |
Under the original terms of the First Credit Agreement and the Second Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Borrowers had been guaranteed by FreedomRoads Holding and had been secured by a first priority security interest in all of the direct and indirect legal, equitable and beneficial ownership interests of the Borrowers in FreedomRoads Holding and the direct, legal ownership interests of the Borrowers in any subsidiary of FreedomRoads Holding. In connection with the Amendment to the First Loan and the Amendment to the Second Loan, the guaranty of the initial loans made in connection therewith by FreedomRoads Holding and the pledge by Stephen Adams and the Trust of their respective equity interests of FreedomRoads Holding were each terminated. |
In connection with the First Loan, the Borrowers caused FreedomRoads Holding and its subsidiaries (collectively, the FR Dealers), to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the FR Dealers agreed to purchase additional recreation vehicles from the Company and its subsidiaries. The term of this agreement, as subsequently amended in connection with the Second Loan, was to continue until the repayment in full of the First Loan and the Second Loan (including any refinancing or replacement thereof). In connection with the Third Loan, the FR Dealers and the Company amended this agreement to provide that the term of this agreement now continues until December 22, 2029 unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. |
For fiscal year 2009, FreedomRoads 47 dealership locations accounted for 15% of the Companys consolidated recreation vehicle net sales and 11% of the Companys consolidated net sales in 26 U.S. states. For the six months ended January 31, 2010, FreedomRoads accounted for 21% of the Companys recreation vehicle net sales and 16% of its consolidated net sales. |
14. | Thor CC, Inc. |
In March 1994, the Company and a financial services company formed a joint venture, Thor Credit Corporation, to finance the sale of recreation vehicles to consumer buyers. This joint venture was dissolved in September 2008 after the joint venture partner informed us that it was no longer providing retail financing for recreation vehicles. We recovered our investment of $1,578 upon dissolution. | |
In November 2008, the Company announced that it would again be providing retail financing for recreation vehicle customers of Thor dealers through the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Thor CC, Inc. (Thor CC). The business, which is led by employees of the former joint venture, finances new Thor and used recreation vehicle products sold by our dealers. | |
The retail financing provided by Thor CC is being funded by Thors operating cash flow. We have allocated approximately $2,500 to fund retail loans. The retail loans are then sold to banks with which Thor CC has established relationships, and the proceeds of such sales are then available to make new loans. The retail loans are made to prime and super prime customers with high credit scores. The Company does not anticipate the aggregate capital to be allocated to Thor CC will exceed $10,000. | |
Thor CC offers retail financing through Thor recreation vehicle dealers in the following states: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, |
16
Texas, Virginia and Washington. We expect that Thor CC will expand its lending ability beyond these states in the future. |
15. | Liquidation of Insurance Subsidiary |
The Company does not intend to insure any future risks through its insurance subsidiary because of the uncertainty of the timing of the deductibility of the insurance premium. Further, the Company does not believe that the future benefits of the insurance subsidiary, including the risk shifting and risk distribution among the Companys operating subsidiaries, are in excess of the administrative cost of maintenance. The Company is in the process of liquidating the entity. The Company does not anticipate any significant losses related to the liquidation. |
16. | Concentration of Risk |
FreedomRoads, one of our dealers, accounted for 21% of the Companys recreation vehicle net sales and 16% of its consolidated net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2010. The loss of this dealer could have a significant effect on the Companys recreation vehicle business. |
17. | Subsequent Event Fire at Bus Production Facility |
On February 14, 2010, a fire occurred at the northern production facility (the Facility) at the Companys manufacturing site located near Imlay City, Michigan. The Facility is one of the Companys principal manufacturing locations for its Champion and General Coach America bus lines. The fire resulted in the destruction of a significant portion of the work in process, raw material and equipment contained in the Facility. There were no reported injuries and the origin of the fire is unknown at this time. |
The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the damage resulting from the fire and the amount of loss to the Company is unknown at this time. The southern production plant, paint facility and other buildings at the site were not affected by the fire and remain intact. During the third quarter, the Company expects to resume limited production activities for its Champion and General Coach America buses in the southern manufacturing facility that is located on the same site. In addition, the Company has taken steps to address equipment and staffing reallocation. Many employees will continue to work out of the southern manufacturing facility and an office building on this site on a temporary basis. |
The Company expects that a portion of the loss resulting from the fire will be covered by its property and business interruption insurance. However, up to the first $5,000 of the loss will be borne by the Company as a deductible per the policy. |
18. | Subsequent Event Acquisition |
On March 1, 2010, the Company acquired SJC Industries (SJC), a privately-held manufacturer of ambulances based in Elkhart, Indiana, for approximately $20,000 in cash. The Company believes that SJC is currently the second largest manufacturer of ambulances in the United States. Its brands include McCoy Miller, Marque and Premiere, each of which is sold through a nationwide network of dealers. The Company believes that the ambulance business is a natural fit with Thors bus business. Under Thors ownership, SJC will continue as an independent operation, in the same manner as Thors recreation vehicle and bus companies. |
