Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the three-month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995
                                                                      
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
August 31, 1996 and the consolidated results of operations and changes in
cash for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995.

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 LLP, the registrant's independent accountants, whose
report is included on page 8 of 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.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at August
31, 1996 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.  Management believes that any losses resulting
from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's results of operations or financial position.<PAGE>

To The Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Skyline Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of August
31, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained
earnings for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods
ended August 31, 1996 and 1995 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations
                                                                       
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At August 31, 1996 cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled 
$52,196,000 a decrease of $2,897,000 from $55,093,000 at May 31, 1996. 
Current assets exclusive of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills
totaled $105,245,000 at August 31, 1996, an increase of $36,471,000 from
the balance at May 31, 1996 of $68,774,000.  This increase is due to the
classification of U.S. Treasury Notes due within one year as current
assets ($30,007,000) and the seasonal increase in accounts receivable
($6,560,000).  Current liabilities increased $5,652,000 from May 31, 1996
to $48,758,000 at August 31, 1996.  This increase in current liabilities
can be attributed to increased trade account payable due to increased
production ($1,863,000), increased marketing program accruals
($5,530,000), and increased income taxes payable ($1,480,000).  Working
capital at August 31, 1996 amounted to $108,683,000 compared to
$80,761,000 at May 31, 1996.  Capital expenditures amounted to $589,000 in
1996 compared to $879,000 in the first quarter of the prior year.  Capital
expenditures during the current fiscal year were made primarily to
increase manufacturing capacity, adopt new manufacturing processes and
increase manufacturing efficiencies.  Cash was also used to purchase
$7,335,000 of company stock in fiscal 1997, compared to $7,835,000 in
fiscal 1996.  The cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1997 is
expected to be adequate to fund any capital expenditures and treasury
stock purchases during the year.  Historically, the Corporation's
financing needs have been met through funds generated internally.  


Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended August 31, 1996

Sales in the quarter ended August 31, 1996 amounted to $171,536,000 a 4.7 
percent increase from $163,855,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior
year.  Manufactured housing sales increased 1.7 percent to $143,724,000 in
1996 compared to $141,299,000 in 1995.  Recreational vehicle sales      
increased 23.3 percent to $27,812,000 in the first quarter of 1996
compared to $22,556,000 in 1995.  Sales for the quarter reflect continuing
demand for manufactured housing in most sections of the country and a
reversal of an overall industry slowdown in the RV marketplace.<PAGE>
  



Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
                                                                           
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended August 31, 1996,
continued

Cost of sales decreased in 1996 to 81.5 percent of sales compared with
82.3 percent in 1995.  This decrease is due to efficiencies gained by
increased sales volume, higher product selling prices in the manufactured
housing segment, and continued cost containment efforts.  

Selling and administrative expenses in 1996 decreased as a percentage of
sales to 13.1 percent from 13.9 percent in 1995 due primarily to cost 
containment efforts.

Interest income amounted to $1,626,000 in 1996 compared to $1,550,000 in
1995.  Interest income is directly related to the amount available for
investment and the prevailing yields of U.S. Government securities.  The
increase in interest income was due to slightly higher investment levels
during the period.

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 taxable entities.  

Purchase of Treasury Stock

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.  Approximately 250,000
shares remain to be purchased under this authorization.  On September 16,
1996, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.0 million
shares of common stock.  The purchases will be made in the open market, or
in negotiated transactions, at such times and at such prices management
may decide.<PAGE>
