Item 1. BUSINESS
Introduction
Drew Industries Incorporated ("Drew" or the "Company"), through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinro, Inc., ("Kinro"), manufactures and markets
aluminum and vinyl windows for manufactured homes, and aluminum windows and
doors for recreational vehicles; and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals
Supply, Inc. ("Shoals"), manufactures and distributes new axles and chassis
parts, and distributes refurbished axles and new and refurbished tires, for the
manufactured housing industry.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 20, 1984,
and is the successor to Drew National Corporation, which was incorporated under
the laws of Delaware in 1962. 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., and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Leslie-Locke, Inc. ("Leslie-Locke"), 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, 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 expires on December 31, 1997 but may be extended.
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, and to a lesser extent, manufactures windows for mini buses. 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.
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 also tempers
glass for use in its own windows and for sale to other window manufacturers.
Kinro's line of products is sold by eleven sales personnel, working exclusively
for Kinro and Shoals, to major builders of manufactured housing, such as Clayton
Homes, Inc., Oakwood Homes Corporation and Redman
Page -2-
Industries, Inc., and to major manufacturers of recreational vehicles such as
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., Thor Industries, Inc., and Skyline Corporation.
Kinro's operations are conducted at ten manufacturing and warehouse
facilities located in Mansfield, Texas; Double Springs, Alabama; Liberty, North
Carolina; Thomasville, Georgia; Morraine, Ohio; Goshen (two facilities) and
Elkhart, Indiana; Fontana, California; and Dayton, Tennessee; as well as a
Maquilodora operation in Juarez, Mexico. In addition, Kinro is currently
constructing a third facility in Goshen, Indiana.
Shoals, acquired by the Company in February 1996, manufactures and
distributes new axles and chassis parts, and distributes refurbished axles and
new and refurbished tires, for the manufactured housing industry.
Manufactured homes are transported by producers to dealers via roadway on
steel chassis which are fitted with axles and tires sufficient in number to
support the weight of the home. When the home is installed at the site, the
axles and tires are removed by the dealer. Regulations promulgated by the United
States Housing and Urban Development Authority ("HUD") require the axles to be
inspected after each use and refurbished or, if necessary, replaced. Shoals
purchases from dealers, and repairs and refurbishes, used axles and tires, and
markets the reconditioned axles and tires to producers of manufactured homes. In
addition, Shoals manufactures and distributes new axles and chassis parts, and
distributes new tires, to producers of manufactured homes.
Shoals competes with a number of regional suppliers of refurbished axles
and tires, as well as several manufacturers of new axles, certain of which are
larger than Shoals. Although definitive information is not readily available,
the Company believes that Shoals is among the three largest suppliers of
refurbished axles within the United States. Shoals competes on the basis of
price, customer service, product quality, and reliability.
Raw materials used by Shoals, consisting primarily of fabricated steel
parts for new axles and chassis parts, are either fabricated by Shoals or
purchased from suppliers. Fabricated parts and new tires are readily available
from a number of sources. Used axles and tires, which are refurbished by Shoals,
are purchased from dealers of manufactured homes, and their availability is
subject to competitive pricing.
Shoals products are sold by one sales person, working exclusively for
Shoals, and five of Kinro's sales personnel, to major producers of manufactured
homes in the southeastern and southcentral United States, such as Fleetwood
Enterprises, Inc., Oakwood Homes Corporation and Clayton Homes, Inc. Shoals
operations are conducted at five facilities located in Bear Creek and Phil
Campbell, Alabama; Rockwell, North Carolina; Elm Mott, Texas; and Maynardsville,
Tennessee.
In accordance with regulations promulgated by HUD, refurbished axle
assemblies distributed by Shoals are reconditioned in accordance with a detailed
Quality Control Program formulated by an independent inspection agency. Shoals'
compliance with the Quality Control Program is monitored by the inspection
agency on a monthly basis. All expenses of formulating the program, inspection,
and monitoring are paid for by Shoals. In addition, new and refurbished tires
distributed by Shoals are subject to regulations promulgated by the United
States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration and by HUD
relating to weight tolerance, maximum speed, size, and components. Kinro's and
Shoals' operations are also 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.
The Company believes that Kinro and Shoals are currently operating in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and does not believe that the
expense of compliance with these laws and regulations, as currently in effect,
will have a material effect on Kinro's or Shoals' capital expenditures, earnings
or competitive position.

Recent Events
On February 13, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split by means of 100% stock dividend on its Common Stock. The
stock split was effective on March 21, 1997, for stockholders of record on March
4, 1997. Assuming the exercise of all options, prior to the stock split and the
purchase of shares from Edward W. Rose, III discussed below, the Company had
approximately 5,676,000 shares outstanding, and following the stock split and
purchase of shares, the Company has approximately 9,752,000 shares outstanding.
On February 13, 1997, the Company announced that it would purchase from
Edward W. Rose, III, Chairman of the Board of the Company, 800,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, representing approximately 15% of the Company's
outstanding stock and 50% of the Company's shares owned by Mr. Rose, at a price
of $26 per share. The purchase price was paid by a short-term promissory note of
the Company in the amount of $20.8 million bearing interest at 7% per annum (the
"Purchase Note").
Before giving effect to the purchase, Mr. Rose owned beneficially and of
record 1,641,740 pre-split shares of the Company's Common Stock, and owned
beneficially a partial interest in an additional 86,200 pre-split shares held in
retirement accounts, representing an aggregate of 32.2% of the Company's
outstanding shares. After giving effect to the purchase and the stock split, Mr.
Rose continues to own beneficially and of record 1,683,480 shares, and continues
to beneficially own a partial interest in the additional 172,400 shares,
representing an aggregate of 20.3% of the Company's outstanding shares. Members
of Mr. Rose's immediate family continue to beneficially own an additional
258,000 shares, in which Mr. Rose disclaims any beneficial interest.
Mr. Rose intends to remain active in management of the Company and to
continue as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Rose's decision to sell a portion of his
shares was motivated by his interest to diversify his investments. The long-term
increase in the price of the Company's stock resulted in Mr. Rose's investment
in the Company constituting a disproportionate share of his net assets. Purchase
of Mr. Rose's shares was advantageous to the Company because the purchase price
was below the market price, and the repurchase was accretive to earnings per
share.
The Company has received a commitment letter from Chase Manhattan bank to
increase Drew's line of credit to $40 million, of which approximately $21
million will be utilized to repurchase Mr. Rose's shares and the balance will be
used for potential acquisitions and working capital.
Employees
The approximate number of persons employed full-time by the Company at
December 31, 1996 was as follows:
Drew....................... 6
Kinro...................... 1,031
Shoals..................... 275
-----
Total.................. 1,312
=====
None of the Company's or its subsidiaries' employees are represented by a
union. The Company and its subsidiaries 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.
Kinro owns four and leases six manufacturing and warehouse facilities
consisting of an aggregate of approximately 725,000 square feet, in Mansfield,
Texas; Double Springs, Alabama; Liberty, North Carolina; Thomasville, Georgia;
Morraine, Ohio; Goshen (two facilities) and Elkhart, Indiana; Fontana,
California; and Dayton, Tennessee; and leases its corporate offices in
Arlington, Texas consisting of approximately 8,500 square feet of office space.
Kinro is currently constructing a third manufacturing and warehouse facility,
consisting of 104,000 square feet, on land owned by Kinro in Goshen, Indiana.
Shoals owns one and leases four manufacturing and warehouse facilities
consisting of an aggregate of approximately 200,000 square feet in Bear Creek
and Phil Campbell, Alabama; Rockwell, North Carolina; Elm Mott, Texas; and
Maynardsville, Tennessee.
See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to
the Company's lease obligations as of December 31, 1996.
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 6 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 was named as a defendant in certain actions
commenced in connection with these claims, the Company has not been held
responsible, and the Company disclaims any liability for the obligations of
White Metal.
See Note 6 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. On May 7, 1996, the Company and its subsidiary, Kinro, Inc.,
and Leslie Building Products, Inc. and its subsidiary, Leslie-Locke, were served
with a summons and complaint in an adversary proceeding commenced by the chapter
7 trustee of White Metal. The complaint, which appears to allege several
duplicate claims, seeks damages in the aggregate amount of $10.6 million plus
attorneys fees, of which up to approximately $8.4 million is sought, jointly and
severally, from the Company, Kinro, Leslie Building Products and Leslie-Locke.
The proceeding is based principally upon the trustee's allegations, previously
disclosed by the Company, that the Company and its affiliated companies obtained
tax benefits attributable to the use of White Metal's net operating losses. The
trustee seeks to recover the purported value of the tax savings achieved, which
appears to be approximately $7.5 million. Management believes that the trustee's
allegations are without merit and have no basis in fact. In addition, the
trustee alleges that White Metal made certain payments to the Company which were
preferential and are recoverable by White Metal, in the approximate amount of
$900,000. The Company denies liability for any such amount and is vigorously
defending against the allegations. However, an estimate of potential loss, if
any, cannot be made at this time. The Company believes that it has sufficient
accruals for the defense of this proceeding and that such defense will not have
a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten
percent of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
American Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, the Company
believes that during 1996 all such filing requirements applicable to its
officers and directors (the Company not being aware of any ten percent holder
during 1995 other than Edward W. Rose, III a Director) were complied with,
except that Gene H. Bishop, a director of the Company, inadvertently filed late
with respect to an aggregate of 800 shares of the Common Stock of the Company
purchased for his children.
