    "The third quarter reflected certain benefits of centralization that have been realized," said Anthony J. Partipilo, Chief Financial Officer. "The third quarter was pretty much like the second quarter of this year, in that it reflected the consistency of management's continued efforts in carrying out the restructuring plan."

The Company has grown by offering a product line of excellent quality construction and design. Rexhall motorhomes are sold through 100 dealer locations across the country.
