Part I

Item 1. Business.

Background.

Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fountain Powerboats, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), designs, manufactures, and sells offshore sport boats, sport fishing boats and sport cruisers intended for that segment of the recreational power boat market where speed, performance, and quality are the main criteria for purchase. The Company also produces military support craft for domestic and international government agencies, including the United States Customs Service, the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard. The Company’s strategy in concentrating on these segments of the market is to maximize its use of the reputation of its Chairman and President, Reginald M. Fountain, Jr., as an internationally recognized designer and builder of high speed power boats.

The Company’s products are sold through a network of authorized dealers worldwide. The Company has targeted that segment of the market in which purchase decisions are generally predicated to a relatively greater degree on the product’s image, style, speed, performance, quality, and safety.

Products.

The majority of the company’s recreational products are based upon a deep V-shaped fiberglass hull with a V-shaped pad, a notched transom, and a positive lift step hull. This design enables the boat to achieve performance with standard reliable power which the Company believes are greater than those offered by any of its competitors worldwide. As a result, the Company maintains that its boats are among the fastest, smoothest, safest, and best-handling boats of their kind.

The Company’s sport boats, ranging from 27’ to 47’, are of inboard/outboard design. These boats are propelled by single, twin, or triple gasoline or diesel engines ranging from 300 HP to more than 1075 HP each. The Company builds outboard powered center consoles, and outboard or stern drive cabin model offshore sport fishing boats ranging from 23’ through 38’. In addition the company also has a line of express cruisers with 38’ and 48’ offerings. These boats are offered with gas or diesel options. The 48’ utilizes surface drives which are very efficient, durable, and resist corrosion better than traditional stern drives. The 48’ was named Boating Magazine’s Boat of the Year award for 2002 in its December 2002 issue, which is the boating industries highest accolade. In addition, the Robb Report named the 48’ the Best of the Best for 2003 in their June 2003 issue. This boat also set the record from Key West, Florida to Cancun, Mexico in just 8 hours and 35 minutes in August 2003. The Company also builds custom racing boats for the APBA and SBI racing circuits.

In addition to Sportboats, Fishing boats, and the new Cruiser Lines, the Company also produces a line of military/governmental boats of various configurations. These boats are commercial versions of the large sportboats and fishing boats, and along with the rigid inflatable boats (RIB), form a separate military/commercial product line.

The Company’s 47’ Lightning Sport Boat operates at speeds of 75 to 100 mph and is very stable and suited for long range cruising in offshore waters. Its sleek styling makes it particularly attractive. Depending primarily upon the type of engines and options selected, this boat retails at prices ranging from $400,000 to $625,000. This boat’s standard features include a custom windshield, integrated swim platform, flush deck hatches, and an attractively appointed cockpit and cabin.

The Company’s redesigned 42’ Lightning, comes with a newly designed positive lift hull, a full wrap around windshield, as well as an impressive range of speed, stability and ride comfort. This top selling model equipped with special engines currently holds the world speed record for V-bottom boats at 171.883 mph recorded by APBA/UIM & SBI on August 7, 2004. The retail price of the 42 ranges from $293,000 to $592,000.

The 42’ Executioner was introduced in Fiscal 2004 with retro styling and competitive pricing for the 40+ foot sport boat market.

The 38’ Lightning operates at speeds of between 70 and 100 mph. The retail price ranges from $269,000 to $344,000, depending primarily upon the type of engines selected. This model was cited by Powerboat Magazine in 2002 as “Offshore Performance Boat of the Year”. In Fiscal 2002, the 38’ Lightning incorporated a new superventilated hull that is the most advanced superventilated hull produced by Fountain to date and it is based on their successful design, enhancing performance and interior space.

The 35’ Lightning Sport Boat was totally redesigned and introduced in Fiscal 2000 to go with a higher freeboard, new twin-step design, and new deck and interior. It operates at speeds between 70 and 100 mph. This boat won the 2001 Offshore Boat of the Year by Powerboat Magazine and has proven itself as the fastest boat in Factory II history, setting the kilo record at 94.187 mph. This boat’s retail price ranges from $230,000 to $303,000, depending primarily upon the type of engines selected.

For Fiscal 2003 we reintroduced the 35’ Executioner. Its retro styling and a competitive offshore entry level price has made it our number one seller.

The 32’ Fever was also reintroduced in Fiscal 2003. Retail price ranges from $154,000 to $168,000.

The 29’ Fever is still one of the most popular boats. It operates at speeds of 65 to 85 mph and retail price ranges from $112,000 to $153,000 depending on engine size. It has great balance and speed for a single engine and operates in offshore sea conditions with superior safety and handling. This boat is also offered with twin small block engines. This model has been awarded the 2001 Outstanding Sport Boat Performance Award by Powerboat Magazine and has set the 2000 APBA F-1 record at 89.873 mph.

The 27’ Fever is a single engine model that incorporates the same features, components and designs as our larger offshore performance boats. Its retail price ranges from $101,000 and $131,000.

The Company also builds and markets a sport fishing line. Our new generation of fishing boat is once again setting the standard for offshore fishing. The 34’ and 38’ are heavily campaigned on the Southern Kingfish Association (SKA) tournament trail.

The 38’ sport fish model is a wide beam center console with T-Top and cuddy cabin that was introduced in fiscal 2001. It features triple outboards and retail price ranges from $218,000 to $245,000.

The 34’ sport fish wide beam center console model was introduced in fiscal 2002 and is offered with twin or triple outboard engines. Its retail prices range from $194,000 to $224,000, depending upon engine selection. The addition of this model has added greatly to our fish boat volume and profitability.

The 31’ sport fish model features a center console with T-Top design and incorporates the same high performance, styling, and structural integrity as the sport boat models. It has a deck configuration engineered for the knowledgeable, experienced sport fisherman. Retail price for this model ranges from $125,000 to $137,000.

The additional models include the 29’ twin engine center console model and 23’ single engine center console model. The design, construction, and performance of these models, together with the proven features of the 31’ center console model, makes a line that appeals to many experienced sport fishermen, in addition to the weekend warrior.

To further enhance its sport fishing line, the Company has a 31’ walk around cabin model based upon the proven 31’ center console hull design. This model features a deck design that incorporates a cabin with standup headroom, an enclosed head with shower, and a full galley. With twin outboard engine power, this model is produced either as a fishing machine or as a recreational cruiser.

The Company also produces a 29’ walk around cabin fishing boat with outboard engine power and a single stern drive 29’ and a 32’ walk around cabin fishing model with twin stern drive power.

The 38’ sport fish cruiser was introduced at the Miami Boat Show in February of 2003 and is offered with twin gas or diesel engines. The 38’ sport fish cruiser offers the customer the luxury and amenities of an express fisher while maintaining the performance and handling of a Fountain sport boat. Retail price for this boat ranges from $338,000 to $371,000.

Our newest boat, the 38LX is the perfect combination for fishing, performance, entertaining and over -nighting. Powered by triple Mercury outboards, the 38 is extremely efficient and runs in excess of 60 MPH. The price ranges from $285,000 to $300,000.

During the past three years the Company has made great strides in the express cruiser market by developing the 38’ and 48’ express cruiser models. These boats offer customers the speed and performance that you would typically find in a sport boat with the amenities of a traditional cruiser. We do it by integrating our positive lift bottom, notched transom and pad keel design, which greatly enhances the performance.

The 38’ express cruiser was introduced at the Miami Boat Show in February of 2001. The 38’ express cruiser offers the customer the luxury and space of a full cruiser while maintaining the performance and handling of a Fountain sport boat. This boat been extremely well received by the market and retail price ranges from $323,000 to $367,000.

In Fiscal 2002, the Company introduced the latest in their express cruiser and wide-beam lines. The 48’ wide-beam express cruiser debuted offering a whole new level of comfort and luxury. With speeds of up to 65 mph, the 48’ Express Cruiser launched the Company into a new expanding market segment with an edge in performance and class. This 48’ retail price ranges from $697,000 to $864,000, depending upon engine choice and option configurations.

In Fiscal 2005, the Company will introduce new and redesigned fish boat and sport boat models, to include:

23’ Fish Boat – Built to succeed our 23’ fish boat, features a wide, deep hull for smooth ride no matter what the condition of the seas. Plus, the hull’s double stepped, and available with twin Mercury engines, for added performance and safety. There is also plenty of fishing room, so the fisherman can easily maneuver about.

33’ Sport Fish Cruiser – So versatile it appeals to serious fishermen as well as fun-loving families, this new boat is sure to make a big splash next year. Powered by twin 275 HP Mercury Verado outboards, it races to the fish and features every amenity anglers demand. With large areas for entertaining, fishing and overnight capabilities for six, families will be just as impressed.

42’ Poker Run – Speed rules in the world of sport boats, which is why we expect next year’s 42’ Poker Run Edition to be a superstar. It’s a highly customized specialty boat aimed at the ever-growing poker-run market. Participants in these wildly popular events love to flaunt the speed of their boats, and nothing will leave a more lasting impression than our new Poker Run Edition.

Following is a table showing the number of boats completed and shipped in each of the last three fiscal years by product line:


	Fiscal 2004	Fiscal 2003	Fiscal 2002
Sport boats	244	198	115
Wide beam fish boats	70	69	44
Wide beam cruisers	31	29	21
Sport fishing boats	66	89	48
Other	0	3	3

Total	411	388	231

As of June 30, 2004 the Company had a backlog of firm orders for 206 boats, totaling sales of $39,087,752, all of which will be completed during Fiscal 2005. At June 30, 2003 the sales backlog was 54 boats, totaling $7,585,761.

The Company conducts research and development projects for the design of its plugs and molds for hull, deck, and small parts production. The design, engineering, and tooling departments currently employ approximately 32 full-time employees. Amounts spent on design, research, and development to build new plugs and molds in recent years were:


	Design Research & Development		Construction of New Plugs and Molds
Fiscal 2004	$	871,386	$	1,060,533
Fiscal 2003	$	552,072	$	1,056,852
Fiscal 2002	$	952,332	$	1,370,526

For Fiscal 2005, design, research and development planned expenses are estimated to be $958,000 and plug and mold construction expenditures are estimated to be $1,507,000. These expenditures will be used primarily to enhance and upgrade our line of fish boats to give us a more predominant presence in the very active fish boat market.

Manufacturing capacity is sufficient to accommodate approximately 30 to 40 boats in various stages of construction at any one time. Construction of a current model boat, depending on size, takes approximately three to ten weeks. The Company, with additional personnel, currently has the capacity to manufacture approximately 500 sport and fishing boats, and 75 cruisers per year.

The manufacturing process for the hulls and decks consists primarily of the hand “lay-up” of vinylester resins and high quality stitched, bi-directional and quad-directional fiberglass over a foam core in the molds designed and constructed by the Company’s engineering and tooling department. This creates a composite structure with strong outer and inner skins with a thicker, light core in between. The “lay-up” of fiberglass by

hand rather than using chopped fiberglass and mechanical blowers, results in superior strength and appearance. The resin used to bind the composite structure together is vinylester, which is stronger, better bonding, and more flexible than the polyester resins used by most other fiberglass boat manufacturers. Decks are bonded to the hulls using bonding agents, rivets, screws and fiberglass to achieve a strong, unitized construction.

As one of the most highly integrated manufacturers in the marine industry, the Company manufactures many metal, plexiglass, plastic, and small parts (such as fuel tanks, seat frames, instrument panels, bow rails, brackets, T-tops, and windscreens) to assure that its quality standards are met. In addition, the Company also manufactures all of its upholstery to its own custom specifications and benefits from receiving these parts just in time for assembly. All other component parts and materials used in the manufacture of the Company’s boats are readily available from a variety of suppliers at comparable prices exclusive of discounts. However, the Company purchases certain supplies and materials from a limited number of suppliers in order to obtain the benefit of volume discounts.

Certain materials used in boat manufacturing, including the resins used to make the decks and hulls, are toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive and are classified by the federal and state governments as “hazardous materials.” Control of these substances is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and state pollution control agencies which require reports and inspect facilities to monitor compliance with their regulations. The Company’s cost of compliance with environmental regulations has not been material. The Company’s manufacturing facilities are regularly inspected by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and by state and local inspection agencies and departments. The Company believes that its facilities comply with substantially all regulations. The Company, however, has been informed that it may incur or may have incurred liability for re-mediation of ground water contamination at a hazardous waste disposal site resulting from the disposal of a hazardous substance at those sites by a third-party contractor of the Subsidiary. (See Legal Proceedings.)

Recreational powerboats must be certified by the manufacturer to meet U.S. Coast Guard specifications. Their safety is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety Act of 1971, as amended, pursuant to which boat manufacturers may be required to recall products for replacement of parts or components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. The Company has never had to conduct a product recall. In addition, boats manufactured for sale in the European Community must meet CE Certification Standards.

Sales and Marketing.

Sales are made through approximately 55 dealer shipping locations throughout the United States. Most of these dealers are not exclusive to the Company and carry the boats of other companies, including some boats that may be competitive with the Company’s products. The territories served by any dealer are not exclusive to the dealer. However, the Company uses discretion in locating new dealers in an effort to protect the interests of the existing dealers.

Following is a table of sales by geographic area for the last three fiscal years:


	Fiscal 2004		Fiscal 2003		Fiscal 2002
United States	$	57,580,728	$	50,796,277	$	35,450,436
Canada, Mexico, Central and South America	$	1,441,308	$	929,481	$	1,500,145
Europe and the Middle East	$	819,724	$	595,777	$	—
Asia	$	—	$	235,549	$	—

Total	$	59,841,760	$	52,557,084	$	36,950,581

The Company targets a portion of its advertising program into foreign countries through various advertising media. It continues to seek new dealers throughout Europe, South America, the Far East and the Middle East. In general, the Company requires payment in full or an irrevocable letter of credit from a domestic bank before it will ship a boat overseas. Consequently, there is no credit risk associated with its foreign sales or risk related to foreign currency fluctuation.

For Fiscal 2004, one dealer accounted for 10.5% of sales, one accounted for 10.2% of sales and two each accounted for 5% of sales. For Fiscal 2003, one dealer accounted for 10.3% of sales, one for 8.0% of sales and one accounted for 6.7% of sales. For Fiscal 2002 one dealer accounted for 11.8% of sales, one for 11.7% of sales and two each for 8% of sales. The Company believes that the loss of any particular dealer could have an adverse affect on sales, yet the Company believes they could find other dealers within the same geographical area to replace any that are lost. The Company is actively pursuing the addition of new, quality dealers. As sales continue to grow through dealer additions, it is reasonable to assume the Company will grow less dependent on any one dealer.

Field sales representatives call upon existing dealers and develop new dealers. The field sales force is headed by the Vice President of Sales who is responsible for developing a full dealer organization for sport boats, sport fishing boats and express cruisers. The Company is seeking to establish separate sport boat, fishing boat, and cruiser dealers in most marketing areas due to the specialization of each type of boat and the different sales programs required.

Although a sales order can be cancelled at any time, most boats are pre-sold to a dealer before entering the production line. To date, cancellations have not had a material effect on the Company. The Company normally does not manufacture boats for its own inventory.

The Company ships boats to some dealers on a cash-on-delivery basis. However, the majority of the Company’s shipments are made pursuant to commercial dealer “floor plan financing” programs in which the Company participates on behalf of its dealers. Under these arrangements, a dealer establishes lines of credit with one or more third-party lenders for the purchase of showroom inventory. When a dealer purchases a boat pursuant to a floor plan arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice cost of the boat directly to the Company. Generally, payment is made to the Company within five business days. When the dealer sells the boat to a retail customer, the dealer repays the lender, thereby restoring its available credit line. The dealers make curtailment payments (principal payments) on the boats when required by their particular commercial lenders. As part of this sales promotion program the Company agrees to pay interest on the floor plan for a certain period of time. Similar sales promotion programs were in effect during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Each dealer’s floor plan credit facilities are secured by the dealer’s inventory, letters of credit, and perhaps other personal and real property. In connection with the dealer’s floor plan arrangements, the Company (together with substantially all other major manufacturers) has agreed to repurchase any of its boats which a lender repossesses from a dealer and returns to the Company in a new or like new condition. In the event that a dealer defaults under a credit line, the lender may then invoke the manufacturers’ repurchase agreements with respect to that dealer. In that event, all repurchase agreements of all manufacturers supplying a defaulting dealer are generally invoked regardless of the boat or boats with respect to which the dealer has defaulted (See also Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations). The Company participates in floor plan arrangements with several major third-party lenders on behalf of its dealers, most of whom have financing arrangements with more than one lender. Except as described above, or where it has a direct repurchase agreement with a dealer, the Company is under no material obligation to repurchase boats from its dealers. From time to time the Company will voluntarily repurchase a boat for the convenience of the dealer or for another dealer who needs a particular model not readily available from the factory. The marketing of boats to retail customers is primarily the responsibility of the dealer, whose efforts are supplemented by the Company through advertising in boating magazines, and by participation in boat shows.

Additionally, in order to further promote its products over the years, the Company has developed racing programs to participate in the major classes of offshore powerboat races, many of which are regularly televised on networks such as Outdoor Channel. Additionally, Fountain single, twin and triple engine racing boats continue to hold their respective world speed records. The result of these racing programs and world speed records has established the Company’s products as the highest performing and safest designed offshore boats. The Company believes that the favorable publicity generated by these performance programs contributes to its sales volume and brand recognition. The Company Founder and C.E.O., Reggie Fountain, has won numerous races in both factory and customer owned boats; he has also set numerous world speed records in both factory and customer owned boats.

As part of the marketing program for its line of sport fishing boats, the Company sponsors several outstanding sport fishermen. Fountain fishermen have won the coveted SKA ‘Angler of the Year’ title in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995 and 1997, which is more than any other boat manufacturer. Currently, Fountain has an eleven (11) member team comprised of world class anglers who own Fountain boats. These fishermen can afford any boat but they choose to run a Fountain. Fountain is also a dominant force in the newly formed American Striper Association (ASA). ASA tournaments are held throughout the northeast in areas ranging from Virginia to Maine. The Fountain fishing teams winning records have given the sport fishing boats favorable exposure to serious sport fishermen, in particular with respect to the superior performance of Fountain’s fishing boat line.

Domestic retail demand for pleasure boats is seasonal with sales generally highest in the fourth quarter. A number of factors can influence demand for the Company’s products, including, but not limited to:

•

Economic conditions and consumer confidence in the United States and certain international regions;

•

Adverse weather in key geographic areas, including excessive rain, prolonged below average temperatures and severe heat or drought, particularly during the key selling season;

•

The level of inventories maintained by the dealers;

•

The Company’s ability to provide competitive products;

•

Availability of effective distribution;

•

Fuel costs;

•

Prevailing interest rates and the availability of retail financing;

•

Consumer interest in recreational boating.

Product Warranty.

The Company warrants its boat hull and deck structure against defects in material and workmanship for a period of six years. Other boat components are covered in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty through the Company. The engine manufacturer warrants engines installed in the boats. Warranty expenses of $547,507 or .9% of sales were incurred in Fiscal 2004, and $645,344 of expense or 1.2% of sales were incurred in Fiscal 2003 and charged against net income. These amounts exclude expenses for new models that are attributable to research and development and model revision costs. A $710,000 reserve for warranty expenses net of the research and development costs estimated to be incurred in future years had been established at June 30, 2004.

Competition.

Competition within the powerboat manufacturing industry is intense. While the high performance sports boat market comprises only a small segment of all boats manufactured, the higher prices commanded by these boats make it a significant market in terms of total dollars spent. The manufacturers that compete directly with the Company in its market segment include:

Formula, a Division of Thunderbird Products Corporation

Baja Boats, a Division of Brunswick Corporation

Cigarette Racing Team, Inc.

Donzi, American Marine Holdings

Contender Boats

Wellcraft

Hydra Sports

Grady White

The Company believes that in its market segment, speed, performance, quality, image, and safety are the main competitive factors, with style and price also being a consideration.

Market demographics and industry experience indicate that the fishing boat market is the best potential growth market. We are expanding our fishing boat offerings to met the rising demand in this market.

In addition, the Company believes the current product owners, many of whom have purchased multiple and increasingly larger boats from the Company, provide a market ready for expansion into the cruiser segment.

Employees.

As of September 2004 the Company had 413 employees, of whom nine were executive and management personnel. Fifteen were engaged primarily in administrative positions including accounting, personnel, marketing and sales activities. None of the Company’s employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its employee relations to be excellent. The Company is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company’s executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located on 66 acres along the Pamlico River in Beaufort County, North Carolina. All of the land, buildings and improvements are owned by the Company and were held as collateral on notes and mortgages payable having a balance of $17,310,558 at June 30, 2004. (See Note 5). The operating facility contains buildings totaling 235,040 square feet located on fifteen acres. The buildings consist of the following:


	Approximate Square Footage	Principal Use
Building 1	13,200	Executive offices, shipping, receiving, and paint shop.
Building 2	7,200	Final prep.
Building 3	75,800	Lamination, upholstery, assembly, inventory, cafeteria.
Building 4	14,250	Woodworking.
Building 5	26,800	Mating, small parts lamination.
Building 6	23,800	Metal fabrication.

Building 10	26,960	Fabrication, sportswear sales.
Building 11	12,000	Cruiser manufacturing.
Building 12	5,760	Maintenance and storage.

Total	235,040

Over the last several years there have been significant expenditures for property, plant and equipment, which include plant additions, a travel lift bay, a boat ramp, and docking facilities along a 600-foot canal leading to the Pamlico River. In addition, the Company has approximately 200,000 square feet of concrete paving surrounding the buildings and providing guest or employee parking. The present plant site can accommodate an addition of up to 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s chief operating subsidiary was a defendant in 8 alleged breach of warranty suits. In the Company’s opinion these lawsuits are without merit and, therefore, the Company intends to vigorously defend its interest in such suits. The Company carries sufficient liability and product liability insurance to cover attorney’s fees and any losses that may occur from a product liability or breach of contract suit, over and above applicable insurance deductibles. The management of the Company believes that none of such current proceedings will have a material adverse effect.

The Company’s subsidiary was notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it had been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in the remediation of contamination at a clean up site. The Group administrator estimated the Company’s share of future remediation cost to be in the $40,000 to $60,000 range. The Company is likely to be eligible for a de Minimus Settlement Agreement, which is expected to be finalized in the spring of 2005.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends since its inception

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company has developed criteria for determining whether a shipment should be recorded as a sale or as a deferred sale (a balance sheet liability). The criteria for recording a C.O.D. sale, or payments prior to shipment sale or sale financed through third-party floor plan arrangements, are that the boat has been completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title has passed to the dealer or to the Government, and that there is no direct commitment to repurchase the boat or to pay floor plan interest beyond the sales program terms. As described more fully below at “Business Environment”, most of the Company’s shipments to dealers were financed through floor plan arrangements with third-party lenders pursuant to which the Company is subject to repurchase boats repossessed by the third-party lenders if the dealer defaults under his credit arrangement. The Company has no repurchase liability for the balance of shipments. This is the method of sales recognition believed to be in use by most boat manufacturers.

At June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, there were no commitments to dealers to pay the interest on floor plan financed boats in excess of the time period specified in the Company’s written sales program and there were no direct repurchase agreements. There were no deferred sales or cost of sales estimated at June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002.

The Company has a contingent liability to repurchase boats where it participates in the floor plan financing made available to its dealers by third-party finance companies. This liability amounted to approximately $18,177,586, $16,378,985 and $16,066,953 at June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Sales to participating dealers are approved by the respective finance companies. If a participating dealer does not satisfy its obligation to the lender and the boat is subsequently repossessed by the lender, then the Company may be required to repurchase the boat.

Business Environment.

Fiscal 2004 was a year of continued growth in sales and profits, with the highest net sales in the history of the Company. Firm order backlog was at an all time high at June 30, 2004. With the exception of the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company achieved positive net earnings from the remaining quarters during Fiscal 2004 at or near quarterly records for the Company.

Net Sales for Fiscal 2004 of $59,841,760 were up 13.9% from Fiscal 2003 sales of $52,557,084. Sales for Fiscal 2002 were $36,950,581. The Company attributes the sales increase to an improving economy, strong sales at retail, introduction of new boat models and strengthening of the dealer network. The Company experienced increased sales in its wide-body fish boat and sport boat product segments.

Net Sales by product segment for the Fiscal years of 2004, 2003 and 2002 are:


Product Segment	Fiscal 2004 Net Sales		% of Sales		Fiscal 2003 Net Sales		% of Sales		Fiscal 2002 Net Sales		% of Sales
Sport Boats	$	33,054,460	55	%	$	26,612,517	51	%	$	21,191,672	57	%

Fish Boats		4,770,596	8	%		5,302,763	10	%		3,181,585	8	%
Wide Beam Fish		11,034,642	18	%		9,291,260	17	%		5,404,056	15	%
Service, Parts, Sportswear, Trucking		1,473,517	3	%		1,426,997	3	%		1,785,819	5	%

Net Sales Total	$	59,841,760			$	52,557,084			$	36,950,581

Gross margin on sales for Fiscal 2004 was $10,674,190, 17.8% of net sales, as compared to $8,519,127, 16.2% of net sales, for Fiscal 2003. Gross margin for Fiscal 2002 was $959,748, 2.6% of net sales.

Two boats were repurchased on floor plan arrangements during Fiscal 2004 and are being re-sold to other dealers; no discounts have been given at June 30, 2004. No boats were repurchased in Fiscal 2003 and 2002 in

connection with floor plan arrangements. At June 30, 2004, the Company had recorded a $75,000 reserve for losses which may be reasonably expected to be incurred on boat repurchases in future years. At June 30, 2003 and 2002 the reserve was $200,000.

On July 17, 2003 the Company obtained an $18,000,000 long-term loan from Bank of America that was guaranteed by Brunswick, a division of which supplies marine engines used in the Company’s products. Proceeds from the loan were used to refinance existing long-term debt, pay current liabilities, and provide additional working capital funds.

The Company is developing new wide beam fish boat models to be introduced in Fiscal 2005 to provide a full range of models in that product segment that has experienced significant growth in sales.

The Company has begun a project to enhance the process flow and efficiency of the factory. A new state of the art ventilation and dust collection system is being installed that meets the “best engineering controls” criteria of the Air Quality MACT standard and OSHA work place environment regulations. This project will be completed and operational in Fiscal 2005 and will facilitate cost reduction and increased production.

Results of Operations.

Operating profit was $2,455,049 for Fiscal 2004, as compared to $2,089,110 in 2003 and an operating loss of ($6,420,458) in Fiscal 2002, which included a $1,182,320 charge for the impairment of certain long-lived assets in 2002. Fiscal 2004 improvement is a result of increased sales volume, improved manufacturing efficiencies and reduced reserves. In Fiscal 2004 reserves were reduced by a net of $448,935 due to improvements in product warranty costs as a percentage of sales and an improving dealer network (see Note 1).

Fiscal 2004 net profit for the Company was $1,301,142 or $.27 per share. This compares to a net profit of $879,996 or $.19 per share for Fiscal 2003, and net loss of ($7,031,593) or ($1.49) per share for Fiscal 2002.

Depreciation expense was $2,052,314 for Fiscal 2004, $2,112,051 for Fiscal 2003, and $2,294,254 for Fiscal 2002. The decrease in depreciation for the year 2003, is attributable to the $1,182,320 impairment charge of certain long-lived assets in Fiscal 2002 and the sale of certain transportation equipment during 2003. Depreciation expense by asset category was as follows:

Overall selling and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2004 was $8,219,141 a $1,789,124 increase from $6,430,017 in Fiscal 2003.

Selling expenses were $5,558,709 for Fiscal 2004, $4,609,253 for Fiscal 2003 and $4,162,273 for Fiscal 2002. The Company increased its product promotions in Fiscal 2004, with an increased focus on fish boats and the new 38’ Sport Fish LX triple engine fish boat, and increased its presence in the tournament fishing programs during 2004.

Major selling expenses for the past three fiscal years were as follows:


Fiscal Year:	2004		2003		2002
Fishing & racing	$	1,053,134	$	828,741	$	1,011,007
Advertising	$	1,508,773	$	1,031,661	$	775,524

Other selling expenses	$	1,288,383	$	1,263,512	$	1,053,438

Total	$	5,558,709	$	4,609,253	$	4,162,273

General and administrative expenses include the executive, finance, human resources, information technology, legal and administrative operating expenses of the Company. These expenses were $2,660,432 for Fiscal 2004, $1,820,764 for Fiscal 2003, and $2,035,613 for Fiscal 2002.

For Fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an impairment loss and wrote down certain long-lived assets to realizable values for $1,182,320.

Interest expense net of amounts capitalized was $1,142,685 for Fiscal 2004, $1,037,002 for Fiscal 2003, and $809,571 for Fiscal 2002. Interest expense increased in Fiscal 2004 as a result of the Company expensing $210,354 of capitalized loan costs from the previous General Electric financing when it was refinanced by the new $18,000,000 loan from Bank of America.

Current tax expense is $706 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and a benefit of $(717,983) for the year ended June 30, 2002. Deferred tax expense is $0 for the year ended June 30, 2004 and $169,301, and $541,059 at June 30, 2003 and 2002. Current tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2004 results

from the net operating loss carryover from the year ended June 30, 2002. There remains approximately $5,755,533 for Federal and $8,855,263 for State tax purposes of net operating loss carryovers available till the years 2022 and 2023, respectively, to offset current tax expenses. The deferred tax charge for the year ended June 30, 2002 resulted from changes to the various temporary timing differences between book and tax as outlined in Note 7 to the financial statements.

The ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s future earnings, the future tax laws in effect, and other unknown factors; all of which are uncertain. For these reasons and because the Company has generated operating tax losses in recent years, the Company has elected to provide for a tax asset valuation allowance of $1,788,441 at June 30, 2004 and $2,342,912 at June 30, 2003.

Management is of the opinion the tax asset valuation allowance will not be required in its entirety in the coming years. Management estimates, based on the Company’s increased backlog of orders, that sales volumes will continue to improve in the near future thus resulting in improved earnings and partial absorption of the net operating tax loss carryovers. However, at this time the Company has chosen not to reduce the tax asset valuation allowance for the following reasons: 1.) with the exception of order backlog, it is very difficult to predict future sales volumes in an uncertain economy that exists at the present time; and 2.) the Company’s inconsistent earnings history in recent years, which includes significant losses in fiscal 2001 and 2002. Currently, the tax asset valuation allowance is adjusted to the extent that total deferred tax assets exceed total deferred tax liabilities. As operating results and the economy stabilize and future sales volumes increase, consideration will be given to reducing or eliminating the valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Financial Resources.

On July 17, 2003, the Company obtained an $18,000,000 long-term loan from Bank of America. The proceeds were used to refinance the two loans with General Electric Capital Corporation at origination totaling $10,000,000 with a total remaining balance of $8,648,341 and a variable interest rate of prime plus 2% or 6.25% as of June 30, 2003. Proceeds from the Bank of America loan were also used to pay trade payables to current status and provide additional operating funds. The new agreement with Bank of America has a $9,000,000 variable interest note accruing at one month LIBOR plus 2.25% or 3.77% at July 17, 2003, and a $9,000,000 note under an interest rate swap to provide a fixed rate of 6.02%. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and is deemed effective pursuant to SFAS 133. The Bank of America loan has a fifteen year amortization with a five year balloon payment and is secured by certain assets of the Company and President, Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder, Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. Obligations are guaranteed by the Company and Mr. Fountain and by Brunswick Corporation, a division of which supplies marine engines used in the Company’s products. Combined monthly payments to Bank of America are approximately $126,000.

At the year ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had negative working capital of $3,997,437 and $3,890,906, respectively. Subsequent to applying the proceeds of the loan on July 17, 2003, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $6,500,000 and at June 30, 2004 the Company had positive working capital of $6,323,146.

Net cash used by operations in Fiscal 2004 amounted to $3,975,058 was primarily the result of using a portion of the proceeds of the Bank of America loan to reduce accounts payable by $4,676,896 partially offset by net income plus other adjustments to reconcile net income to cash used by operations.

Net cash provided by operations in Fiscal 2003 amounted to $3,345,801 resulting from net income plus adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities including depreciation expense of $2,112,051, changes in deferred taxes of $169,301 and loss on sales of assets of $8,378 before changes in asset and liability accounts. $369,834 was used to fund an increase in inventories. The ending cash balance was $1,224,935.

Net cash used by operations in Fiscal 2002 amounted to $1,734,962. Net loss plus adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used by operating activities including depreciation expense of $2,294,254 and an

impairment on the long-lived assets of $1,182,320 and other non-cash transactions provided $2,635,695 before other changes in assets and liability accounts. $1,395,518 was provided by decrease in inventories. The ending cash balance was $329,640.

Investing activities in Fiscal 2004 required cash of $2,300,586 and primarily consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $776,787 and for additional plugs and molds of $1,060,533 and increasing the cash surrender value of an officer’s life insurance by $202,690.

Investing activities for Fiscal 2003 required $1,561,651, including $268,410 for property, plant and equipment, $1,056,852 for additional plugs and molds, $199,403 for payments increasing the cash surrender value of certain key man life insurance policies, $190,796 for payments increasing other assets and proceeds of $153,810 on sales of property.

Investing activities for Fiscal 2002 required $1,820,959, of which $1,370,526 was used to complete construction of new molds and plugs, $231,080 was used to purchase property, plant and equipment, and $219,536 was used for payments increasing the cash surrender value of certain key man life insurance policies.

Net cash provided by financing activities in Fiscal 2004 of $8,509,301 primarily resulted from the Bank of America loan of $18,000,000 partially offset by repayments of the existing indebtedness due to GE Capital of $8,648,341 and repayments of loan principal of $755,511.

Financing activities for Fiscal 2003 used $888,855. Included in this amount are proceeds from issuance of notes payable from Northwestern Mutual Life on key man life insurance policies for $343,074 and debt repayment to General Electric Capital Corporation and others in the amount of $1,014,001. Payments of deferred loan costs for the Bank of America loan were $251,528 at June 30, 2003

Financing activities for Fiscal 2002 provided $3,088,955. During November 2001, the Company refinanced the 7.02% fixed $10,000,000 General Electric Capital Corporation credit agreement with a remaining balance of $6,655,656. The agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation involved $3,000,000 and $7,000,000 notes with a variable interest rate of prime plus 2% or 6.75% as of June 30, 2002. Combined monthly payments on these notes were approximately $128,005. The proceeds from the notes payable and long term debt contributed $3,955,644. Payments on long-term debt used $560,181, and payments of deferred loan costs were $306,508.

The net increase in cash in Fiscal 2004 of $2,233,657 was primarily the result the Bank of America loan. The net increase in cash for Fiscal 2003 was $895,295, primarily from operating profits and issuance of notes payable from Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance. The net decrease in cash for Fiscal 2002 was $466,966, primarily attributed to cash paid for the development of the new wide-beam 34’ fish boat and 48’ express cruiser and losses from operations due to decreased sales volume.

Management is of the opinion that cash flows will be sufficient to satisfy its current and future liquidity demands because of the increase in sales volumes and sales backlogs at the date of this filing. Additionally the Company has maintained a historical sales backlog through the date of this report.

Effects of Inflation.

The Company has not been materially affected by the moderate inflation of recent years. Since most of the Company’s plant and its equipment are relatively new, expenditures for replacements are not expected to be a factor in the near-term future.

When raw material costs increase because of inflation, the Company attempts to minimize the effect of these increases by using alternative, less costly materials, or by finding less costly sources for the materials it uses. When the foregoing measures are not possible, selling prices are increased to recover the cost increases.

The Company’s products are targeted at the segment of the powerboat market where retail purchasers are generally less significantly affected by price or other economic conditions. Consequently, management believes that the impact of inflation on sales and the results of operations will not be material.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of “Safe Harbor” Under the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.

The Company may from time to time make forward-looking statements, including statements projecting, forecasting, or estimating the Company’s performance and industry trends. The achievement of the projections, forecasts, or estimates contained in these statements is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results and events may differ materially from those projected, forecast, or estimated.

The applicable risks and uncertainties include general economic and industry conditions that affect all businesses, as well as matters that are specific to the Company and the markets it serves. For example, the achievement of projections, forecasts, or estimates contained in the Company’s forward-looking statements may be impacted by national and international economic conditions; compliance with governmental laws and regulations; accidents and acts of God; and all of the general risks associated with doing business.

Risks that are specific to the Company and its markets include but are not limited to compliance with increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations; the cyclical nature of the industry; competition in pricing and new product development from larger companies with substantial resources; the concentration of a substantial percentage of the Company’s sales with a few major customers, the loss of, or change in demand from dealers, any of which could have a material impact upon the Company; labor relations at the Company and at its customers and suppliers; and the Company’s single-source supply and just-in-time inventory strategies for some critical boat components, including high performance engines, which could adversely affect production if a single-source supplier is unable for any reason to meet the Company’s requirements on a timely basis.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk - At June 30, 2004, the Company owed $17,310,558 on a $18,000,000 credit agreement with Bank of America. The credit agreement has $9,000,000 at one month LIBOR plus 2.50% or 3.87% as of June 30, 2004, and $9,000,000 under an interest rate swap to provide a fixed rate of 6.02%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an approximately $90,000 increase in interest expense, resulting in a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations.

FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies.

Nature of the Business: Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) manufacture high-performance sport boats, sport wide beam cruisers, wide beam fishing boats, sport fishing boats, and custom offshore racing boats. These boats are sold worldwide to a network of approximately 55 dealers. The Company’s offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Washington, North Carolina and the Company has been in business since 1979. The Company employs approximately 400 people and is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Powerboats, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year-end is June 30th, which is its natural business year-end.

Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had $3,358,592 and $1,124,935, respectively, in excess of federally insured amounts held in cash.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method (See Note 2).

Property, Plant, and Equipment and Depreciation: Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation on property, plant, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method and is based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (See Note 3).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Management estimates the carrying value of financial instruments on the consolidated financial statements approximates their fair values.

Dealer Incentive Accruals: The Company has in the current and prior periods established sales programs to pay service and/or other awards to dealers for boat deliveries into their market territory for which they will perform service or based upon sales of boats from their locations. These programs are based in part on the model of the boat sold, a factor for the dealer’s service performance rating, the dollar value of the sale and other factors. The Company has accrued dealer incentives of $1,203,522 and $190,010 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These amounts also include an accrual for dealer interest as discussed in Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies”.

Allowance for Boat Repurchases: The Company provides an allowance for boats, financed by dealers under floor plan finance arrangements, that may be repurchased from finance companies under certain circumstances where the Company has a repurchase agreement with the lender. The amount of the allowance is based upon the highest number of repurchase events it has experienced in the last five years at an assumed discount of $15,000 per event.

FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies. [Continued]

Internal Use Software: The Company accounts for internal use software and development cost in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, “Accounting for Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for Internal Use”. The SOP requires the capitalization of certain cost incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use.

Revenue Recognition: The Company generally sells boats only to authorized dealers and to the U.S. Government. A sale is recorded when a boat is shipped to a dealer or to the Government, legal title and all other incidents of ownership have passed from the Company to the dealer or to the Government, and an account receivable is recorded or payment is received from the dealer, from the Government, or from the dealer’s third-party commercial lender. This is the method of sales recognition in use by most boat manufacturers.

The Company has developed criteria for determining whether a shipment should be recorded as a sale or as a deferred sale (a balance sheet liability). The criteria for recording a sale are that the boat has been completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title and all other incidents of ownership have passed to the dealer or to the Government (title passes at the point of shipment), and that there is no direct or indirect commitment to the dealer or to the Government to repurchase the boat or to pay floor plan interest for the dealer beyond the normal, published sales program terms.

The sales incentive floor plan interest expense for each individual boat sale is accrued for the six months (180 days) interest payment period in the same fiscal accounting period that the related boat sale is recorded. The entire six months’ interest expense is accrued at the time of the sale because the Company considers it a selling expense (See Note 8). The amount of interest accrued is subsequently adjusted to reflect the actual number of days of remaining liability for floor plan interest for each individual boat remaining in the dealer’s inventory and on floor plan.

During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company entered into arrangements that license other foreign companies to manufacture boats utilizing the Company’s concepts and designs in exchange for royalties received for each boat manufactured. The Company accounts for these royalties as sales revenue in the period when earned. Royalties for the year ended June 30, 2004 were less than 10% of total revenues.

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (See Note 7).

Advertising Cost: Cost incurred in connection with advertising and promotion of the Company’s products is expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to $1,508,773, $1,031,661 and $775,524 for the years ended 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Earnings Per Share: The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share. The computation of basic earning per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per shares is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year plus, when their effect is dilutive, additional shares assuming the exercise of certain vested and non-vested stock options and warrants, reduced by the number of shares which could be purchased from the proceeds (See Note 12).

Warranties: The Company warrants the entire deck and hull, including its supporting bulkhead and stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of six years. The Company has accrued a reserve for these anticipated future warranty costs.

Reclassifications: The financial statements and notes for years prior to June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform with headings and classifications used in the June 30, 2004 financial statements.

FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies. [Continued]

Cash Surrender Value of life insurance policies: - At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company owns six life insurance policies on Reginald M. Fountain, Jr., the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for a total of $6,083,363 and $6,161,287 in coverage and $1,581,316 and $1,378,626 cash value. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 the Company has borrowed $1,295,449 and $1,265,438 against the policies (See Note 5).

Research and Development: The Company expenses the costs of research and development for new products and components as the costs are incurred. Research and development costs are included in the cost of sales and amounted to $871,386 for Fiscal 2004, $552,072 for Fiscal 2003, and $952,332 for Fiscal 2002.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. While these hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company accounts for these derivative financial instruments as an effective cash flow hedge under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and it has the effect of converting the interest rate paid on the notional amount of $9,000,000 of the Company’s variable debt to a fixed rate of 6.02%. The difference between the Company’s actual variable interest rate and 6.02% on the notional amount for the next twelve months is reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognized as interest expense. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives and does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, were recently issued. SFAS No. 146 and 150 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant. SFAS No. 149 has become applicable (as well as SFAS No. 133 as discussed above) and has been adopted by the Company as discussed above as a result of its use of a cash flow hedge related to its loan from Bank of America (See Note 5).

Stock-based compensation — In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 148”). This Statement amends SFAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.

The Company has stock incentive plans that provides for stock-based employee compensation, including the granting of stock options, to certain key employees and other individuals. The plans are more fully described in Note 6. The Company accounts for stock options issued to employee, officer and directors under the stock incentive plan in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Under the Company’s stock incentive plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices that equal or exceed the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, no compensation expense related to stock options is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements the Company has granted options under the 1995 and 1999 Stock Options Plans and executive and other employment agreements (See Note 6). The Corporation has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Accordingly, compensation cost under SFAS No. 123 has been recognized for certain stock options issued under other agreements to non-employee and recorded in the accompanying statement of operations, but no compensation cost under SFAS No. 123 has been recognized for stock options issued under plan and other agreement to employees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies. [Continued]

Had compensation cost for stock options issued to employees under the Company’s stock option plans and agreements been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2004, 2003 and 2002 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net earnings net of taxes and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Note 5. Long-term Debt and Pledged Assets. [Continued]

The Company had a $10,000,000 credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation. The credit agreement involved two notes, both with an interest rate of prime plus 2%. Combined monthly payments are $128,005. The $7,000,000 note had monthly payments of approximately $85,000 and a ten year amortization with a five-year balloon payment and is secured by a first lien on the Company’s plant and property. The second note of $3,000,000 had monthly payments of approximately $45,000, a seven year amortization with a five-year balloon payment, and is secured by a second lien on the Company’s plant and property. This second note was guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. These notes were further secured by an assignment of a $1,000,000 key man life insurance policy to the lender and the personal guarantee of the Company’s President with real estate valued at approximately $1,000,000.

On July 17, 2003, the Company obtained an $18,000,000 long-term loan from Bank of America which matures in five years. The proceeds were used to refinance the two loans with General Electric Capital Corporation totaling $10,000,000 with total remaining balance of $8,648,341 and a variable interest rate of prime plus 2% or 6.25% as of June 30, 2003. Proceeds from the Bank of America loan were also used to pay trade payables to current status and provide additional operating funds. The new agreement with Bank of America has a $9,000,000 note with a rate that is variable with the Wall Street LIBOR one month floating rate as the index plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on funded debt to earnings before income taxes and depreciation adjustment (EBITDA). The applicable margin is as follows:


Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio		Applicable Margin
Less than or equal to 1.74 to 1.00		1.90%
1.75 to 1.00, but less than 2.50 to 1.00		2.10%
2.50 to 1.00, but less than 3.76 to 1.00		2.25%
Greater than or equal to 3.76 to 1.00		2.50%

The applicable margin for the first year is deemed to be 2.25% (2.50% for seven months as amended on February 10, 2004).

The agreement with Bank of America further has a $9,000,000 note under an interest rate swap to provide a fixed rate of 6.02%. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and is deemed effective pursuant to SFAS 133. These Bank of America loans have a fifteen year amortization with a five year balloon payment and are secured by certain assets of the Company and real estate of the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder, Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. Obligations are guaranteed by the Company, an unlimited unconditional guarantee of Mr. Fountain and by Brunswick Corporation, pursuant to a master funding agreement with the Company. Combined monthly payments to Bank of America will be approximately $126,000.

The Company has agreed to observe certain covenants under the terms of its note agreements, the most restrictive of which relates to prepayment of excess earnings, the sale of assets securing the notes and key financial ratios. Chief among the covenants are:

Maintenance of a tangible net worth floor which the Company’s tangible net worth may not fall below.

A current maturity coverage ratio defined as the ratio of the current portion of long-term liabilities plus interest to “cash flow” which is defined as net income plus depreciation, amortization, interest and other non-cash expenditures which the Company’s ratio may not fall below.

A funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio which is defined as the ratio of all outstanding debt both current and long-term to EBITDA which the Company’s ratio may not exceed.

Maintenance of a gross margin (gross profit) percentage floor which the Company’s gross margin percentage may not fall below.

Gross Margin Floor %	14.50%	14.50%	14.50%	14.50%	14.50%

As of June 30, 2004 the Company was in compliance with its mandated covenants.

In addition to the covenants listed above, the Company may not exceed its budgeted annual listing of fixed asset purchases approved by the loan’s guarantor, Brunswick Corporation and any non-listed fixed asset purchases greater than $50,000 per instance must have Brunswick Corporation’s express approval prior to acquisition. The Company expects this restriction to have no material effect upon its ability to maintain and improve its facilities and compete with other companies in the boating industry.

The estimated aggregate maturities required on long-term debt for each of the individual years at June 30, 2004 are as follows:

The Company has an unused federal operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $5,755,553 and $6,637,357, respectively, which expires in various years through 2023. The Company has unused state operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $8,855,263 and $9,737,087, respectively, which expires in various years through 2023.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies.

Employment Agreement: The Company entered into a one-year employment agreement in 1989 with its Chairman, Mr. Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. The agreement provides for automatic one-year renewals at the end of each year subject to Mr. Fountain’s continued employment.

Dealer Interest: The Company regularly pays a portion of dealers’ interest charges for floor plan financing. These interest charges amounted to $756,336 for Fiscal 2004, $816,152 for Fiscal 2003 and $596,111 for Fiscal 2002. They are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as part of net sales. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 the estimated unpaid dealer incentive interest included in accrued dealer incentives amounted to $62,894 and $92,262, respectively.

Product Liability and Other Litigation: There were various warranty lawsuits brought against the Company at June 30, 2004. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in these matters. The Company carries sufficient product liability insurance to cover attorney’s fees and any losses, which may occur from these lawsuits over and above the insurance deductibles. The Company is also involved from time to time in other litigation through the normal course of its business. Management believes there are no such undisclosed claims which would have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Manufacturer Repurchase Agreements: The Company makes available through third-party finance companies floor plan financing for many of its dealers. Sales to participating dealers are approved by the respective finance companies. If a participating dealer does not satisfy its obligations under the floor plan financing agreement in effect with its commercial lender(s) and boats are subsequently repossessed by the lender(s), then under certain circumstances the Company may be required to repurchase the repossessed boats if it has executed a repurchase agreement with the lender(s). At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had a contingent liability to repurchase boats in the event of dealer defaults and if repossessed by the commercial lenders amounting to approximately $18,177,586 and $16,378,985, respectively. The Company has reserved for the future losses it might incur upon the repossession and repurchase of boats from commercial lenders. The amount of the reserve is based upon probable future events, which can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the allowance for boat repurchases was $75,000 and $200,000, respectively.

401 (k) Payroll Savings Plan: During Fiscal 1991, the Company initiated a 401(k) Payroll Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for all employees. Eligible employees may elect to defer up to twenty-five percent of their salaries. The amounts deferred by the employees are fully vested at all times. The Company currently matches fifty percent of the employee’s deferred salary amounts limited to a maximum of six percent of their salaried amounts, or effectively a maximum of three percent of their salaries. Amounts contributed by the Company vest at a rate of twenty percent per year of service. Mr. Fountain, by his own election, does not participate in the 401(k) Plan. There are no post-retirement benefit plans in effect. The Company’s employer contribution to the 401(k) Plan was $86,825 for Fiscal year 2004, $93,650 for Fiscal 2003 and $86,958 for Fiscal 2002.

Environmental: The Company was notified in 1994 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a potential responsible party (“PRP”) and may incur, or may have incurred, liability for the remediation of contamination at the Seaboard waste disposal site, located in High Point, North Carolina (also referred to as the Jamestown, North Carolina site) resulting from the disposal of hazardous substances at that site by a third party contractor of the Company. The Company’s share of the approximately 14.3 million gallons of waste is 19,245 gallons, a volumetric share of .1387%. The Company’s potential liability at this site is estimated by the Group administrator to be in the range of $40,000 to $60,000. The Company is likely to be eligible for a de Minimus Settlement Agreement, which is expected to be finalized in 2005.
