Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Plan Administrator
Spartan Motors Retirement Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Spartan Motors Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits p rovide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Spartan Motors Retirement Plan Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Spartan Motors Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions, which is available from the human resources department of Spartan Motors, Inc. (the Company).
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all employees of the Company who have at least 90 days of service and are 21 years or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The Plan's trustee and recordkeeper is currently Fidelity Management Trust Company.
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 60% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, subject to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified retirement plans. The Company may make employer matching contributions based on a percentage of participant contributions to be determined annually by the Company. Each participating employer can establish different rates of employer profit-sharing contributions. Prior to January 1, 2004, the Company was permitted to make discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the Plan.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, are based on years of continuous service. A participant is fully vested after five years of credited service. As of January 1, 2004, participants are 100% vested in any profit-sharing contributions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions, (b) plan earnings, and (c) forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested profit-sharing contributions, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Forfeitures of nonvested employer matching contributions are used to reduce employer matching contributions and to pay administrative expenses.
Investment Options
Participants may direct the investment of funds in their accounts to any investment option available under the Plan.
Participant Loans
A participant in the Plan may request a loan from their vested account balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum amount is 50% of the vested account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. A participant may have only one loan outstanding at any time. Loans bear interest at the prime rate as of the first day of the month the loan became effective. Repayments are made by payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount or may elect to receive an annuity.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts. Upon complete or partial termination, all remaining assets in the accounts of the participants or their beneficiaries are to be distributed to them in the same proportion as their related interests.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Plan's financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments and Investment Income
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end. Common stock is valued at its quoted market price on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Participant loans are stated at cost and their outstanding balances, respectively, which approximate fair value. The fair value of the participation units owned by the Plan in the common trust fund is based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the plan year.
The change in the difference between the fair value and the cost of investments held is combined with realized gains and losses on sales of investments and reported in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits as net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments represent the difference between the proceeds received and the original cost of investments sold.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated May 16, 2005, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
5. Transactions with Parties in Interest
Fees incurred for administrative, legal and accounting services rendered by parties in interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services. All expenses pertaining to the administration of the Plan were paid through forfeitures or ratably allocated against participant accounts.
6. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
