(9) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 " Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of." This standard requires
that long-lived assets held by and used by an entity may be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also
requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower
of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company has
adopted this standard during the first quarter of 1996. Adoption of this
statement did not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which was effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded
disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and
encourages (but does not require) compensation cost to be measured

based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded. Companies are
permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which
recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25
to its stock based compensation awards to employees and will disclose the
required pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share in the
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the major elements impacting Spartan Motors,
Inc. financial and operating results for the period ended March 31, 1996
compared to the period ended March 31, 1995. The comments that follow should
be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
related notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the components of
the Company's consolidated statements of net earnings, on an actual basis, as a
percentage of revenues:
Three Months
Ended March 31
--------------
1996 1995

Revenues 100% 100%
Costs and expenses:
Cost of products sold .................. 86.3% 83.3%
Research and development ............... 2.1% 1.8%

----- -----
Net earnings ............................ 2.5% 4.0%
===== =====
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1996, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were $47.4 million
compared to $44.2 million in 1995, an increase of 7%. Net income was $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 ($0.10 per share), compared
to $1.8 million in 1995 ($0.14 per share), a decrease of 33%. The increase in
revenues is primarily due to increased production of the transit and school bus
chassis and to a lesser extent fire truck chassis. Total chassis production
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 consisted of 860 units as compared to
776 chassis for the same period in 1995. Sales of fire truck chassis units
increased by 4%, while overall sales of motorhome chassis decreased by 8%. Bus
and specialty chassis unit sales improved to 140 units compared with 6 units
during the same period in 1995 as the Company continues to penetrate the
transit/shuttle and school bus markets.

12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 96.1%
for the 1996 period as compared to 93.4% in 1995. Cost of products sold
increased to 86.3% for the 1996 period as compared to 83.3% of revenues for the
same period in 1995. This increase is attributed to the mix of chassis models
produced, which included a large percentage of transit bus and school bus
chassis. Extreme weather conditions also slowed production in January, adding
abnormal overtime costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 7.4% as compared to 8.0% for the same period in 1995, reflecting
the Company's emphasis on cost control and efficiency improvements. Research
and development costs for the 1996 period increased to 2.1% as compared to 1.8%
for the same period in 1995. The increase is the result of the Company's
ongoing developments in transit/shuttle bus, school bus and specialty chassis,
and its continued efforts to expand the market for rear engine diesel
technology.
Total chassis orders received increased 24.9% during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, to 954 units from 764 units for the same period of 1995.
The increase in orders is primarily attributed to the Company's transit and
school bus product lines. Based on average order lead time, the Company
estimates that approximately one-half of the motorhome, one-third of the
bus/specialty and none of the fire truck orders received during the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 were produced and delivered by March 31, 1996.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $52.9 million in backlog
chassis orders compared with a backlog of approximately $56.3 million for the
same period in 1995. While orders in backlog are subject to modification,
cancellation or rescheduling by customers, the Company has not experienced
significant modification, cancellation or rescheduling of orders in the past.
Although the backlog of unfilled orders is one of many indicators of market
demand, several factors, such as changes in production rates, available
capacity, new product introductions and competitive pricing actions, may affect
actual sales. Accordingly, a comparison of backlog from period to period is
not necessarily indicative of eventual actual shipments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Over the years, the Company has financed its growth through a combination
of funds provided from equity offerings, operations and long- and short-term
debt financing. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, cash used in
operating activities was approximately $0.9 million. On March 31, 1996, the
Company had working capital of $50.7 million compared to $50.9 million at
December 31, 1995. The current ratio on March 31, 1996 decreased to 4.2
compared with 6.3 on December 31, 1995. The change in
10
13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
working capital was the result of increases in accounts receivable, inventories
and accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased approximately $5.8 million
primarily due to the sales growth during the quarter. Inventories increased
approximately $2.5 million primarily to support the increase in production of
fire truck, transit bus and school bus chassis. The increase in accounts
payable of approximately $5.0 million is the direct result of the increase in
inventories needed to support the 1996 production requirements and the timing
on vendor payments.
The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, the liquidity
of short-term investment securities, and its existing credit line will be
sufficient to satisfy working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
the foreseeable future. This will provide the Company with
financial flexibility to respond quickly to business opportunities as they
arise, including opportunities for growth either through internal development
or through strategic joint ventures or acquisitions.
Due to the effects of the peso devaluation, the ongoing financial crisis
in Mexico and the lack of order activity, the Company did not produce chassis
at its Mexican facility during the first quarter of 1996. The current staff
continues to perform service and warranty repairs on products sold, maintain
customer contacts, and promote the Company's custom chassis products. Spartan
de Mexico recorded revenues of $2,000 and incurred losses of $157,000 ($.01 per
share) during the period. This compares to revenues of $9,600 and losses of
approximately $247,000 ($.02 per share) for the same period in 1995. The
effect on earnings related to the devaluation of the peso was immaterial to the
consolidated financial statements of the Company. Spartan remains committed to
supporting the operations of Spartan de Mexico.
Stockholders' equity decreased to approximately $59.7 million as of March
31, 1996. This change is the result of net earnings of $1.2 million, dividends
declared of approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million used to acquire 100,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The Company's debt to equity ratio
decreased to 10.2% on March 31, 1996, compared with 10.4% at December 31, 1995.
The Company's unsecured line of credit with a bank provides for maximum
borrowings of $15 million at 2% above the 30-day London Inter Bank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"), which was 5.45% at March 31, 1996. As of March 31, 1996, there were
no borrowings against this line. In addition, under the terms of its credit
agreement with its bank, the Company has the ability to issue letters of credit
totaling $400,000. At March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding letters of
credit totaling $200,000.
