Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 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 November 30, 1996, the consolidated results of
operations for the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 1996
and 1995, and the consolidated cash flows for the six month periods
ended November 30, 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 7 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 
November 30, 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>

                   
                                                                        
                   Report of Independent Accountants


December 16, 1996

To The Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Skyline Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
November 30, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of earnings 
and retained earnings for the three-month and six-month periods ended 
November 30, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 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.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1996, 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 18, 1996 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, 1996, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations
                                                                       
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 1996 cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled
$93,310,000, an increase of $38,217,000 from $55,093,000 at May 31,
1996. The majority of this increase was due to the reinvestment of the
proceeds from the maturity of $30,000,000 in U.S. Treasury Notes into
U.S. Treasury Bills.  Current assets exclusive of cash and investments
in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $57,875,000 at November 30, 1996, a
decrease of $10,899,000 from the balance at May 31, 1996 of $68,774,000.
A reduction in trade accounts receivable ($10,869,000) contributed to
this decrease.   Current liabilities increased $1,354,000 from May 31,
1996 to $44,460,000 at November 30, 1996.  This increase can mainly be
attributed to a seasonal increase in marketing program accruals
($6,853,000) and decreased income taxes ($2,814,000).  Working capital
at November 30, 1996 amounted to $106,725,000 compared to $80,761,000 at
May 31, 1996.  Capital expenditures totaled $1,748,000 in the first half
of fiscal 1997 compared to $1,517,000 in the first half of the prior
year.  Capital expenditures during the current fiscal year were made
primarily to adopt new manufacturing processes and increase
manufacturing efficiencies.  An unused production facility was sold in
the second quarter, resulting in a net gain of $577,000.  Cash was also
used to purchase $14,243,000 of Company stock in fiscal 1997, compared
to $8,207,000 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 Quarter and Six-months Ended November 30,
1996

Sales in the quarter ended November 30, 1996 amounted to $164,378,000, a 
4.7 percent decrease from $172,469,000 in the comparable quarter of the
prior year.  Manufactured housing sales decreased 8.9 percent to 
$136,657,000 in 1996 compared to $150,079,000 in 1995.<PAGE>
  



Manufactured housing unit sales decreased to 4,796 compared to 5,657 in
1995.  Recreational vehicle sales increased 23.8 percent to $27,721,000
in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $22,390,000 in fiscal
1996.  Recreational vehicle unit sales increased to 2,055 compared to
1,776 in fiscal 1996.  

Sales during the first half of fiscal 1997 amounted to $335,914,000 a
0.1 percent decrease from $336,324,000 in the comparable period of the
prior year.  Manufactured housing sales decreased 3.8 percent to
$280,381,000 in 1996 compared to $291,377,000 in 1995.  Manufactured
housing unit sales decreased to 9,871 compared to 11,027 in 1995.
Recreational vehicle sales increased 23.6 percent to $55,533,000 in the
first half of fiscal 1997 compared to $44,947,000 in fiscal 1996. 
Recreational vehicle unit sales increased to 4,289 compared to 3,637 in
1995.  Sales for the first half of fiscal 1997 reflect a softening in
demand for manufactured housing and a reversal of last year's overall
industry slowdown in the RV marketplace.  In addition, second quarter
results were negatively affected by the unusually early November onset
of winter weather conditions, particularly in the Midwest. 

Cost of sales in the second quarter remained unchanged at 82.2 percent
of sales, while the cost of sales for the first half of the year
decreased slightly (81.9 percent in fiscal 1997 vs 82.3 percent in
fiscal 1996).  The decrease in costs is due to continued cost
containment efforts.

Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
1997 decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.3 percent from 13.1
percent last year.  Selling and administrative expenses for the first
half of the fiscal year also decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.7
percent from 13.5 percent.  Both decreases were due primarily to the
reduction in the cost of marketing programs.

Interest income amounted to $1,560,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to $1,576,000 one year earlier.  Interest income is
directly related to the amount available for investment and the
prevailing yields of U.S. Government securities.<PAGE>
  



Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes in each year approximates the
statutory rate and for state income taxes reflects current state rates
effective for the period based upon activities within the taxable
entities.
