Financial Summary
SPAR develops and manufactures custom platforms for recreational vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, and other specialty vehicles. For the six months ended 6/30/01, sales fell 17% to $117.2 million. Net income from continuing operations fell 42% to $2.8 million. Revenues reflect lower demand for motorhome chassis due to higher gasoline prices and a fluctuating stock market. Net income also reflects higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales and an increase in interest expense.
