NOTE 5 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Intangible assets (all acquired in connection with the acquisition described in Note 2) and the related accumulated amortization are summarized as follows:

Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over forty years for manufacturer relationships, five years for the non-compete agreement and one year for the customer database. Trade names and trademarks are considered to have indefinite useful lives and are not being amortized.
Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $1,516,874. Estimated amortization expense for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2005 and for each of the subsequent four years ending December 31 is: 2005 (nine months)$2,300,626, 2006$2,467,500, 2007$2,467,500, 2008$2,467,500, 2009$1,342,500 and 2010$667,500.

NOTE 6 FLOOR PLAN NOTES PAYABLE
Effective with the acquisition, the Company amended its existing floor plan financing agreement with two financial institutions, collateralized by new and pre-owned recreational vehicles aggregating up to $85,000,000. The entire facility may be used to finance new vehicle inventory but only up to $26,000,000 may be used to finance pre-owned vehicle inventory. On October 28, 2004, the agreement was amended further to permit the Company to use floor plan credit to finance new vehicle inventory to be leased by the Company (rental vehicle inventory). Borrowings are not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate for rental vehicle inventory or $35,000 per unit. The financial institutions collateralize all vehicles purchased under these agreements and all receivables generated from the sale of these vehicles. The interest rate charged (5.69% at March 31, 2005) is based on the prime rate or LIBOR. Principal is due upon the sale of the respective vehicle.
The Companys floor plan notes payable are subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants including debt service coverage ratio; current ratio; and limitations on lease rentals, certain executive compensation, capital expenditures, accounts payable, additional debt, liens, dividends, distributions, certain restricted investments, and certain other corporate activities, all as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2005.
NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT
Effective with the acquisition, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured revolving line of credit facility (the Revolver). The facility provides for borrowings up to $15 million, as defined, which includes a $10 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no outstanding advances under the Revolver at March 31, 2005. The Company had outstanding letters of credit amounting to $2,500,000 at March 31, 2005. Interest on outstanding advances is payable monthly and is based on the prime rate or LIBOR (6.75% at March 31, 2005). Borrowings under the Revolver are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets.
Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company issued $152 million of unsecured, senior notes (the Senior Notes) through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Subsequently, on December 6, 2004, the Company successfully completed the exchange (Exchange Offer) of $137 million of its Senior Notes. The remaining Senior Notes totaling $15 million were ineligible for exchange. The Senior Notes mature May 15, 2012 and bear interest at an annual rate of 11.75% payable each November 15 and May 15, to the registered holders at the close of business on November 1 and May 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date. The outstanding balance of unsecured senior notes at March 31, 2005 was $150,287,506, net of unearned discount of $1,712,494.
The Senior Notes rank pari passu with the Companys existing and future senior debt. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the Revolver and amended floor plan credit facility to the extent of the assets securing such debt.
The Company has the option to redeem the Senior Notes on or after May 15, 2008, at a defined premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In accordance with the Senior Notes indenture, the Company made an offer to repurchase Senior Notes from all holders, on a pro rata basis, to the extent of 58% (or 50% in the case of any six-month period ending after December 31, 2004) of the Companys free cash flow, as defined, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The Companys free cash flow offer approximated $1,458,000 and has been accepted by certain holders of the Senior Notes in May 2005.

Certain Defined Terms
In this report, Lazydays, the Company, we, us or our refer to Lazy Days R.V. Center, Inc. In this report, Holdings refers to LD Holdings, Inc., our parent company, and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are the worlds largest single-site dealer of recreational vehicles (RVs) with the industrys broadest selection of new and previously-owned RVs. We are a primary point of distribution for nine of the leading manufacturers in the recreational vehicle retail industry. Located on a 126-acre facility outside of Tampa, Florida, we are widely recognized in the RV community as the premier destination for RV enthusiasts, attracting over 250,000 visitors each year to our RV dealership, and approximately 1.3 million visitors per year to our facility (including visitors to additional attractions that appeal to RV owners located adjacent to our site, namely Camping World, Cracker Barrel and Flying J Travel Plaza). Our facilities feature a number of unique attractions including a 1,200-site outdoor showspace of new and pre-owned RVs, a 230-bay RV servicing facility with a 6,600 sq. ft. Customer Service Pavilion that includes a professional full-time concierge station, complimentary Starbucks coffee concession, luxurious seating areas, flat screen televisions and wireless internet connections. At our 299-site RallyPark, we hold over 100 rallies each year and provide our visitors the opportunity to meet and spend time with other RV enthusiasts. In addition, visitors to our site can enjoy complimentary meals at our Italian style Café or visit our Learning Center for complimentary seminars.
We derive our revenues from sales and rental of new units, sales of pre-owned units, commissions earned on sales of third-party financing and insurance products, service and repairs and visitors fees at RallyPark. In 2004, we derived our revenues from these categories in the following percentages, 59.7%, 32.5%, 2.8%, 4.8% and 0.2%, respectively. New and pre-owned unit sales accounted for more than 90% of total revenues.
The vast majority of our costs of revenues are related to inventory purchases. New and pre-owned vehicles have accounted for 97% or more of cost of revenues in each of the previous three years. We believe we are the nations largest single point of distribution for RVs and a primary retail outlet for nine of the leading manufacturers in the industry. Additionally, increased unit costs are immediately passed through to end customers. As a result, our gross profit margin has been 14.5%, 14.4% and 14.5% for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Our gross profit margins on pre-owned vehicles are typically higher on a percentage basis while our gross profit margins on an absolute dollar basis are typically higher on new vehicles. In 2004, gross profit margins on new vehicles averaged 8.7% compared to 10.7% for pre-owned vehicles, and our gross profit from sales of new vehicles was $41.4 million and $27.9 million for pre-owned vehicles.
Salaries, commissions and benefits represent the largest component of our total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense and comprised more than 50% of total SG&A expense. In 2004, approximately 13% of our SG&A expense consisted of commissions for our sales force which are directly correlated to RV vehicle sales levels. SG&A expense has typically tracked revenue on a percentage basis.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
Revenues. Revenues decreased $19.1 million to $245.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $264.2 million in the comparable period in 2004. In 2005, we experienced lower volume in motorized units, as compared to the prior year, while towable sales increased. Vehicle sales decreases represented $17.8 million of the $19.1 million decline experienced.
New Unit Sales. The $12.3 million decrease of new vehicle sales was due to a decrease in new unit sales from 1,265 in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 1,107 in the comparable period in 2005. Representing nearly 53% of the decline, Class A gas units drove the overall decrease from 2004. Travel trailer sales are up 15% over last year, continuing their strong performance. Rental income of $2.7 million somewhat offset the decline from the prior year.
Pre-Owned Unit Sales. Sales of pre-owned vehicles decreased from $88.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $83.3 million in the comparable period in 2005, or 6.2%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in motorized units, specifically Class A gas units. Unit sales of pre-owned vehicles, excluding wholesale units, decreased 31 units from 1,378 in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 1,347 in the comparable period in 2005, or 2.2%. We acquire most of our pre-owned vehicle inventory through trade-ins and most recently through the return of travel trailer rental units (returns from our rental program for temporary housing). Used towable products increased 121 units from the comparable period in 2004, which was strictly driven by the sale of the rental return units.
Finance and Insurance Related Revenues. Finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues decreased from $8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $6.9 million in the comparable period in 2005, or 16.9%. The decrease in finance, insurance and extended warranty related revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in unit sales coupled with a decrease in the percentage of units for which we arranged financing. Less finance opportunites exist for towable product sales as these customers do not finance as often as motorized customers.
Parts, Service and Other Revenues. Parts and service revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2005 were consistent with revenues in the comparable period of 2004.
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit decreased from $41.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $37.8 million in the comparable period in 2005. Gross profit margin decreased slightly from 15.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 15.4% in the comparable period in 2005. The lower volume in unit sales experienced from prior year, decreases in motorized unit sales and an increase in used units impacted overall gross profit year-over-year. The variance was somewhat mitigated by a $1.0 million increase in rental margin.
11
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased from $22.4 million, or 8.5% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $24.5 million, or 10.0% of revenues, in the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in amortization and depreciation related to our senior note issuance and acquisition. Historically, salary, commissions and benefits have comprised the majority of our total selling, general and administrative expenses, and were equal to 48.7% of selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to 58.6% in the comparable period in 2004.
Operating Profit. Operating profit represents our gross profit, less selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Operating profit decreased from $19.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $13.2 million in the comparable period in 2005. This decrease was due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, particularly amortization and depreciation expenses and the overall decrease in gross profit.
Interest ExpenseFloor Plan Credit Facility. Interest expense on our floor plan credit facility increased from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $0.9 million in the comparable period in 2005. This was attributable to an increase in average outstanding borrowings under our floor plan credit facility.
Other Interest Expense. Interest expense in 2005 was related to interest payments under our Senior Notes and in 2004 on our senior credit facility. Other interest expense increased from $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $4.5 million in the comparable period in 2005. This increase was attributable to the interest paid on our senior notes.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $2.8 million in the comparable period in 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the $10.1 million decrease in pre-tax income we experienced during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Historically, we have satisfied our liquidity needs through cash from operations and various borrowing arrangements. Our cash requirements consist principally of scheduled payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness (including indebtedness under our amended floor plan credit facility), capital expenditures, salary and sales commissions, lease expenses and the acquisition of inventory. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the new senior secured revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the next several years.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was equal to $18.6 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $24.1 million during the comparable period in 2004. This decline in net cash provided by operating activities for 2005 was primarily the result of a decrease in net income (driven by decreases in unit sales) and an increase in accounts receivable offset in part by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $0.4 million during the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 versus 2004 was primarily attributable to $1.3 million in capital expenditures, with the vast majority going toward the acquisition of a new computer system.
12
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $14.4 million, compared to $23.9 million used in financing activities during the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in cash used in financing activities primarily resulted from $10.5 million of repayments of our then existing credit facilities during the first quarter of 2004.
Working Capital. Working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, totaled approximately $29.6 million at March 31, 2005. We maintain sizable inventories in order to meet the expectations of our customers, and believe that we will continue to require working capital consistent with past experience. Historically, we have funded our operations with internally generated cash flow and borrowings. Changes in our working capital are driven primarily by our profit levels.
Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under our new senior secured revolving credit facility and amended floor plan credit facility. As of March 31, 2005, we had $85.0 million of borrowing capacity and $29.9 million of availability under our amended floor plan credit facility and $15.0 million of borrowing capacity and $12.5 million of availability under our new senior secured revolving credit facility. We have nothing drawn under our senior secured revolving credit facility, while $2.5 million of availability has been used to support letter of credit obligations under our letter of credit subfacility.
Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe we have adequate cash flow coupled with borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility and amended floor plan credit facility to fund our current operations and capital expenditures budgeted for 2005.
Borrowings under our floor plan credit facility to finance our new vehicle inventory may not exceed (i) 100% of the factory invoices for the related vehicles, (ii) 85% of the wholesale value of all pre-owned inventory (as determined in accordance with National Automobile Dealers Association RV Industry Appraisal Guide, or appraised NADA value) for vehicles in the current through 7th prior model years and (iii) 65% of the appraised NADA value with respect to pre-owned vehicles in the 8th, 9th and 10th prior model years. At times, we have made repayments on our then existing floor plan credit facility using excess cash flow from operations.
Borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility generally bear interest based on a margin over, at our option, the base rate or the reserve-adjusted LIBOR. The new senior secured revolving credit facility is secured by first priority interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and first priority pledges of all the equity interests owned by us in any future domestic subsidiaries, other than a second priority lien on those assets which are pledged under our amended floor plan credit facility.
We anticipate that we will spend approximately $4.7 million on capital expenditures in 2005, of which approximately $3.2 million will be used to upgrade our existing software and approximately $1.5 million will be used to maintain our facilities, and we expect to spend similar amounts on maintenance expenditures in subsequent periods. As of March 31, 2005, our capital expenditures approximated $1.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. Our senior secured revolving credit facility limits our ability to make capital expenditures in excess of $5.0 million per annum. Our amended floor plan credit facility limits our ability to make capital expenditures in excess of $5.0 million on a 12 month rolling basis. In April, 2005 we exceeded the threshold under our amended floor plan credit facility, but we remained in compliance with $5.0 million capital expenditure limitation calculated on a per annum basis under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
13
Subsquent Event. On April 28, 2005, the agent for our floor plan lenders granted us a waiver with respect to capital expense limitation provisions under our loan agreement for the period through April 30, 2005. We have recently completed negotiations with our floor plan lenders to amend our amended floor plan credit facility to calculate our capital expense limitation on a per annum basis in a manner consistent with the capital expense limitations under our new senior secured credit facility. We are confident that we will be able to obtain this amendment before the end of May 2005. However, if for any reason, we are not successful in obtaining this amendment, additional defaults may result under our amended floor plan facility or we may be required to reduce our capital expenditures below levels that management believes are warranted.
Except as set forth above, based on current estimates, management believes that the amount of capital expenditures permitted to be made under our senior secured revolving credit facility and amended floor plan credit facility will be adequate to grow our business according to our business strategy and to maintain the properties and business of our continuing operations.

All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
14
There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. There may be other factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this report, that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risk factors specified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, some of which are summarized below.
| changes from anticipated levels of sales, whether due to future national or regional economic and competitive conditions, including new into the industry, customer acceptance of existing and new products, consumer confidence or otherwise; |
| significant indebtedness that may limit our financial and operational flexibility; |
| increased interest rates which increase the cost of financing new vehicle purchases; |
| higher fuel costs which may deter purchases of recreational vehicles; |
| actions of current or new competitors that increase competition with respect to prices and services; |
| increased advertising costs associated with promotional efforts; |
| pending or new litigation or governmental regulations; |
| severe weather events and other natural disasters which could impact our single-site location near Tampa, Florida; |
| other uncertainties which are difficult to predict or beyond our control; and |
| the risk that we incorrectly analyze these risks and forces, or that the strategies we develop to address them could be unsuccessful. |
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness. Outstanding balances under our senior secured revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate on prime or LIBOR as adjusted each interest period. There were no borrowings at March 31, 2005 under this revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate based on prime or LIBOR as adjusted each interest period. As of March 31, 2005, based on the aggregate amount of $55.1 million outstanding under our amended floor plan financing facility as of such date, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would have changed our annual floor plan interest expense by approximately $0.6 million.
We continually evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt, including the notes, but with respect to such fixed rate instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
15
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. We currently have very limited exposure to exchange rate risk as we have very limited foreign operations. Nearly all of our new and pre-owned vehicle inventories are sourced domestically.
Inflation. Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.
Cyclicality. Unit sales of RV vehicles historically have been cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the RV retailing industry tends to experience similar periods of decline and recession as the general economy. We believe that the industry is influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit availability.
Seasonality and Effects of Weather. Our operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and fourth quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and our hospitable warm climate during the winter months. The service and parts business experiences relatively modest seasonal fluctuations.
We have a single location near Tampa, Florida, which is in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. As a single-site operator, a severe weather event such as a hurricane could cause severe damage to our property and inventory. Although we believe we have adequate insurance coverage, if we were to experience a catastrophic loss, we may exceed our policy limits and/or we may have difficulty obtaining similar insurance coverage in the future. There was minimal impact to our facility as a result of hurricane activity throughout the state of Florida in the summer of 2004.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2005. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to our Company, is made known to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports that we file or submit, or would have filed or submitted, under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

OTHER INFORMATION
We are party to numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Capital Expenditure Limitation Waiver - Subsequent Event. Our amended floor plan facility limits our ability to make capital expenditures in excess of $5.0 million on a 12 month rolling basis. In April 2005 we exceeded the threshold under our amended floor plan credit facility, but we remained in compliance with the $5.0 million capital expenditure limitation calculated on a per annum basis under our new senior secured revolving credit facility.
On April 28, 2005, the agent for our floor plan lenders granted us a waiver with respect to capital expense limitation provisions under our loan agreement for the period through April 30, 2005. We have recently completed negotiations with our floor plan lenders to amend our amended floor plan credit facility to calculate our capital expense limitation on a per annum basis in a manner consistent with the capital expense limitations under our new senior secured credit facility. We are confident that we will be able to obtain this amendment before the end of May 2005. However, if for any reason, we are not successful in obtaining this amendment, additional defaults may result under our amended floor plan facility or we may be required to reduce our capital expenditures below levels that management believes are warranted.
