Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-K regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the Company or its subsidiaries or Company management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, or intended. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS References herein to the "Company" or "Rush Enterprises" mean Rush Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation, its subsidiaries and Associated Acceptance, Inc., the insurance agency affiliated with the Company, unless the context requires otherwise. The Company was incorporated in Texas 1965 and currently consists of two reportable segments: the Heavy Duty Truck segment, and the Construction Equipment segment. GENERAL The Heavy Duty Truck segment operates a regional network of truck centers that provide an integrated one-stop source for the trucking needs of its customers, including retail sales of new Peterbilt and used heavy-duty trucks; after-market parts, service and body shop facilities; and a wide array of financial services, including the financing of new and used truck purchases, insurance products and truck leasing and rentals. The Company's truck centers are strategically 3 4 located in high truck traffic areas on or near major highways in Texas, California, Oklahoma, Colorado and Louisiana. The Company is the largest Peterbilt truck dealer in the United States, representing approximately 19.5% of all new Peterbilt truck sales in 1998, and is the sole authorized vendor for new Peterbilt trucks and replacement parts in its market areas. The Company was named Peterbilt Dealer of the Year for North America for the 1993-1994 year. The criteria used to determine the recipients of this award include, among others, image, customer satisfaction, sales activity and profitability. The Company believes that large, multi-location, full-service dealerships, which offer a large selection of new and used trucks, parts and sophisticated service and body shop facilities, are able to realize economies of scale and have a competitive advantage in the truck sales and services industry. The Company's growth strategy is to continue the expansion of its existing facilities, to open new facilities in its existing territories and to acquire additional Peterbilt dealerships in new territories. The Construction Equipment segment, formed during 1997, operates full-service John Deere dealerships in Texas and Michigan. Dealership operations include the retail sale of new and used equipment, after-market parts and service facilities, equipment rentals, and the financing of new and used equipment. The Company believes the construction equipment industry is highly-fragmented and offers opportunities for consolidation. As a result, the Company's growth strategy is to realize economies of scale, favorable purchasing power, and cost savings by continuing to develop a network of John Deere dealerships through acquisitions and growth inside existing territories. During 1998, the Company developed the Rush Retail Centers division and acquired the stock of D & D Farm and Ranch Supermarket, Inc. (D&D). D&D operates a retail farm and ranch superstore in the greater San Antonio area. D&D is a virtual one-stop shopping center for farm and ranch supplies with wide array of products including horse tack, saddles, western-wear, veterinarian supplies, fencing, gates, and cattle shoots, guards and trailers. The Company believes that D&D is the only store of its kind and offers opportunities for expansion. As a result, the Company's growth strategy is to open new D&D stores in existing farm and ranch territories. During 1998, D&D's operations were immaterial to the Company's results of operations representing less than 2.5% of total sales and less than 1.0% of operating income. The Company's executive offices are located at the San Antonio, Texas truck center at 8810 I.H. 10 East, San Antonio, Texas 78219, and its mailing address is P. O. Box 34630, San Antonio, Texas 78265-4630. The Company's phone number is (210) 661-4511. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Heavy-duty trucks are primarily used for over-the-road and off-highway hauling of general freight and a number of vocational applications, including the hauling of petroleum, wood products, refuse, construction materials and other specialty uses. Trucks are purchased for commercial purposes and are outfitted to perform according to the specifications of the user. 4 5 Customers include owner-operators, regional and national fleets, corporations and government organizations. Trucks marketed by the Company are typically classified in the Class 8 heavy-duty truck category. Class 8 trucks are constructed on a heavy-duty chassis, which includes the engine, drive train and operations components and have a minimum gross vehicle weight ("gvw") rating above 33,000 pounds, with the typical heavy-duty truck having a gross combined weight ("gcw") of approximately 80,000 pounds.
