Item 1. BUSINESS
Introduction
Drew Industries Incorporated ("Drew" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kinro, Inc., manufactures and markets aluminum and vinyl windows for manufactured homes, and aluminum and vinyl windows and doors for recreational vehicles.
See "Recent Events" for a discussion of the Company's February 1996 acquisition of Shoals Supply, Inc. which manufactures and distributes new and refurbished axles and tires, and new chassis parts, for the manufactured housing industry.
The Company's principal executive and administrative offices are located at 200 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, New York, 10601; telephone number (914) 428-9098.
In connection with the spin-off of Leslie Building Products, Inc. by the Company, which was effective on July 29, 1994, the Company and Leslie Building Products entered into a Shared Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, for a period of two years following the spin-off, the Company and Leslie Building Products agreed to share certain administrative functions and employee services, such as management overview and planning, tax preparation, financial reporting, coordination of independent audit, stockholder relations, and regulatory matters. The Company is reimbursed by Leslie Building Products for the fair market value of such services. The Shared Services Agreement may be extended under certain circumstances.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Kinro, acquired by the Company in October 1980, initially manufactured only aluminum primary and storm windows for the manufactured housing industry. Since 1982, Kinro acquired additional manufacturers of aluminum windows for manufactured housing and manufacturers of doors and windows for recreational vehicles, and developed its own capacity to manufacture screens for its window products. In 1993, Kinro commenced production of vinyl windows in addition to aluminum windows.
Each of the businesses acquired by Kinro expanded Kinro's geographic market and product line, and, in certain instances, added manufacturing facilities. All manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions of the acquired businesses were integrated with those of Kinro. Although definitive information is not readily available, the Company believes that the two leading manufacturers of windows for manufactured housing within the United States are Kinro and Philips Industries, Inc., and that there are approximately 10 significant suppliers of windows and doors for the recreational vehicle industry, several of which are substantially larger than Kinro.
In November 1995, Kinro acquired the assets and business of Star Window (Elkhart, Indiana), a privately-owned manufacturer of windows for mini buses with pre-acquisition annual revenues of less than $1 million. The acquisition of Star Window represents a new product line for Kinro. Kinro intends to expand the operations of Star Window in a new facility currently being built in Goshen, Indiana, which will also be utilized to expand Kinro's existing operations.
Raw materials used by Kinro, consisting of extruded aluminum, glass, vinyl and various adhesive and insulating components, are readily available from a number of sources. Kinro, through the Company, maintains an aluminum hedging program under which it purchases futures contracts on the London Metals Exchange to hedge the prices of a portion of its anticipated aluminum requirements.
Kinro's operations consist primarily of fabricating and assembling the components into the finished windows, doors and screens. Kinro's line of products is sold by eight sales personnel, working exclusively for Kinro, to major builders of manufactured housing, such as Clayton Homes, Inc., Oakwood Homes Corporation and Redman Industries, Inc., and to major manufacturers of recreational vehicles such as Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., Thor Industries, Inc., and Skyline Corporation.
Kinro's operations are subject to certain federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes. Kinro believes that it is currently operating in compliance with applicable regulations and does not believe that costs of compliance with these laws and regulations will have a material effect upon its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Recent Events
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated February 15, 1996 (the "Agreement"), the Company acquired substantially all the assets and the business, and assumed certain liabilities, of Shoals Supply, Inc., a privately-owned Alabama corporation, which manufactures and distributes new and refurbished axles and fires, and new chasis parts, for the manufactured housing industry. Simultaneously, the Company assigned all its rights and obligations pursuant to the Agreement to Shoals Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the name of which was changed to Shoals Supply, Inc. ("Shoals"). The transaction was consummated on February 15, 1996 (the "Closing Date"). For 1995, the acquired operations had revenues of approximately $57,000,000.
The consideration for the acquired assets and business consisted of 544,959 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, valued at $7,500,000, which are subject to certain registration rights, cash in the amount of $1,225,000, and a five-year note in the principal amount of $760,000. In addition, the Company assumed $7,449,459 of the existing bank debt of the acquired operations, which the Company discharged on the Closing Date, and certain other operating liabilities. The consideration was based upon the fair value of the net assets and business acquired.
The Company issued to certain key employees of Shoals options to purchase an aggregate of 72,070 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a purchase price of $13.875 per share, exercisable 20% each year during the five-year period commencing on the Closing Date, unless terminated or accelerated upon termination of employment.
Simultaneously with the acquisition, the Company, Shoals and Kinro, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, with Chemical Bank (the "Bank"), pursuant to which Shoals borrowed the principal amount of $5,981,672, which, together with $3,225,000 of the Company's own funds, was utilized to consummate the acquisition and discharge the existing bank debt of the acquired operations. The loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, Shoals and Kinro, and is guaranteed by the Company and Kinro. The loan matures on May 15, 1996. The Company anticipates that the loan will be refinanced at that time.
Interest on the loan is payable to the Bank, at maturity, at the rate of, at Shoals' option, (a) the Bank's Prime Rate plus 1/4 of 1%, or (b) a fixed rate offered from time to time by the Bank, or (c) an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%. Shoals also paid certain additional fees and charges relating to the loan.
On March 8, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Purchases were made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. The Company had no commitment or obligation to purchase any minimum number of shares. The Company purchased 29,850 shares, and the repurchase program terminated on March 7, 1995.
Employees
The approximate number of persons employed full-time by the Company at December 31, 1995 was as follows:
Drew........................ 6 Kinro....................... 1,034 ----- Total........... 1,040 =====
None of the Company's or Kinro's employees are represented by a union. The Company and Kinro believe that relations with its employees are good.

Item 2. PROPERTIES
Drew leases its principal executive offices in White Plains, New York, consisting of approximately 2,800 square feet of office space.

Item 3.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings which, in the opinion of Management, could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its consolidated financial position.
See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to certain product liability claims pending against White Metal Rolling and Stamping Corp. ("White Metal"), a subsidiary of Leslie-Locke, arising in connection with the ladder manufacturing business formerly conducted by White Metal. Although the Company and Leslie-Locke were named as defendants in certain actions commenced in connection with these claims, neither the Company nor Leslie-Locke has been held responsible, and the Company and Leslie-Locke disclaim any liability for the obligations of White Metal.
See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial statements with respect to the filing by White Metal, on September 30, 1994, of a voluntary petition seeking liquidation under the provisions of chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The chapter 7 Trustee of White Metal has alleged that the Company and its affiliated entities obtained tax benefits in excess of $4.5 million solely attributable to the use of White Metal's net operating losses. The Trustee has demanded payment on behalf of White Metal in an amount equal to the value of the tax savings achieved. The Company denies any liability for the amount claimed by the Trustee and intends to vigorously defend this claim. Management believes it has substantial and meritorious defenses, however, an estimate of potential loss, if any, cannot be made at this time.
