Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements For
The Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 1994 and 1993
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of
February 28, 1994 and the consolidated changes in cash for the nine month
periods ended February 28, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 1994
and 1993.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have
been omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Corporation's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The financial data included herein has been subjected to a limited review
by Price Waterhouse, the registrant's independent accountants, whose
report is included in this filing.
Inventories are stated at cost, determined under the first-in, first-out
method, which is not in excess of market. Physical inventory counts are
taken at the end of each reporting quarter. Inventories at February 28,
1994 and May 31, 1993 are as follows:
Finished Work In
Goods Process Materials Total
May 31, 1993 $ 1,192,000 $ 3,885,000 $ 5,647,000 $10,724,000
February 28, 1994 $ 9,430,000 $ 4,656,000 $ 8,752,000 $22,838,000

The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at February
28, 1994 under agreements to purchase repossessed units, on floor plan
financing made by financial institutions to its customers. Losses, if
any, would be the difference between repossession cost and the resale
value of the units. There have been no material losses in past years
under these agreements, and none are anticipated in the future.
The Corporation is a party to various pending legal proceedings in the
normal course of business. It is impossible to evaluate the potential
liability, if any, at this time. However, management believes that it is
probable that the Corporation's insurance would offset any material
losses and that any uninsured losses resulting from such proceedings
would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's result of
operations or financial position.
The Corporation's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to
1.2 million shares of common stock, or approximately ten percent of the
shares outstanding, effective December 16, 1993. The purchases would be
made in the open market, or in negotiated transactions, at such times and
at such prices as management may decide.

Report of Independent Accountants
March 15, 1994
To The Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Skyline Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of February 28, 1994 and the related consolidated statements of earnings
and retained earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
February 28, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 1994 and 1993 of Skyline
Corporation and Subsidiary Companies. This financial information is the
responsibility of the company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquires of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings and of
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our
report dated June 15, 1993, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May
31, 1993, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 1994 cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled
$12,614,000, a decrease of $1,058,000 from $13,672,000 at May 31, 1993.
Working capital at February 28, 1994 amounted to $47,978,000 compared to
$43,412,000 at May 31, 1993. The decrease in cash and investments in
U.S. Treasury Bills was due primarily to an increase in inventories and
capital additions. Capital expenditures amounted to $ 4,337,000 in 1994
compared to $2,679,000 in the first nine months of the prior year.
Capital expenditures were made primarily to increase manufacturing
capacity, adopt new manufacturing processes and increase manufacturing
efficiencies. The cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1994
is expected to be adequate to fund any capital expenditures which may
become necessary during the year.
Results of Operations for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended
February 28, 1994.
Sales in the quarter ended February 28, 1994 amounted to $130,732,000,
an increase of $20,361,000 from $110,371,000 for the same quarter of the
prior year. Manufactured housing sales increased 22.4 percent to
$99,870,000 in 1994 compared to $81,580,000 in 1993. Manufactured
housing unit sales increased to 4,364 compared to 4,127 in 1993. Sales
of recreational vehicles increased 7.2 percent to $30,862,000 during the
third quarter of fiscal 1994 compared to the $28,791,000 reported for the
third quarter of fiscal 1993. Recreational vehicle unit sales decreased
to 2,535 compared to 2,568 in 1993.
Sales during the first nine months of fiscal 1994 amounted to
$412,210,000, an increase of 58,519,000 from $353,691,000 for the same
time period of the prior year. Manufactured housing sales increased 21.4
percent to $321,143,000 in 1994 compared to $264,524,000 in 1993.
Manufactured housing unit sales increased to 14,369 compared to 13,418 in
1993. Sales of recreational vehicles increased 2.1 percent to
$91,067,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared to
$89,167,000 reported for fiscal 1993. Recreational vehicle unit sales
decreased to 7,839 compared to 8,139 in 1993.
Skyline's performance for the third quarter and the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 reflects the continuation of a positive sales trend that
first became evident during the third quarter of fiscal 1993.
Fueling the trend is an increased demand for manufactured housing that
seems to indicate an easing of recessionary conditions in most parts of
the country.
Cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 decreased slightly to
85.2 percent of sales compared to 85.9 percent in 1993. Cost of sales
for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 decreased to 84.7 percent
compared to 85.6 percent in fiscal 1993. These decreases are due to
increased sales volume and continued cost containment efforts.
Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1994
decreased as a percent of sales to 12.8 percent compared to 13.1 percent
in 1993. Selling and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of fiscal 1994 and 1993 were 12.5 percent of sales.
Interest income amounted to $1,438,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1994 compared to $1,329,000 in 1993. The increase in interest income was
due to higher interest rates.
Income Taxes
The provision for federal income tax approximates the statutory rate and
for state income taxes reflects current state rates effective for the
period based upon activities within the taxing entities. The Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
For Income Taxes," effective June 1, 1992. The cumulative effect of this
change in accounting for income taxes on prior years was $370,000 or $.03
per share.

Subject to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation,
the consideration for the issuance of shares of the capital stock
of the corporation may be paid, in whole or in part, in money,
in other property, tangible or intangible, or in labor actually
performed for, or services actually rendered to, the corporation;
provided, however, that the part of the surplus of a corporation

transferred to capital upon the issuance of a share dividend, such
share shall be declared and taken to be fully paid and not liable

whether such shares have been fully paid up, the certificate shall
be legibly stamped to indicate the per centum which has been
paid up, and as further payments are made thereon the
certificate shall be stamped accordingly.
If the corporation issues more than one class, every
certificate issued shall state the kind and class of shares
represented thereby, and the relative rights, interests,
preferences and restrictions of such class, or a summary thereof.
