Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three-month period ended August 31, 2002

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies

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, 2002, the
consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended August 31,
2002 and 2001, and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods
ended August 31, 2002 and 2001.

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.

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. At August 31, 2002, total inventories
consisted of raw materials, $4,571,000 work in process, $5,295,000, and
finished goods, $332,000. At May 31, 2002, total inventories consisted of raw
materials, $4,280,000, work in process, $5,183,000 and finished goods,
$169,000.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at August 31,
2002 under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions. Losses,
if any, are the difference between the repurchase cost and the resale value of
the units. For the three-month period ended August 31, 2001, the Corporation
repurchased units in the amount of $833,000 and incurred net losses of
$170,000. There were no repurchases in the three-month period ended August 31,
2002.

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.

Report of Independent Accountants

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Skyline Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Skyline
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of August 31, 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings for each of the
three-month periods ending August 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ending August 31, 2002 and
2001. These financial statements are 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 inquiries of persons responsible for financial and a
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 consolidated interim financial information for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31,
2002, 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 17, 2002 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 August 31,
2002, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

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


Results of Operations for the Current Quarter Compared to the Same
Quarter Last Year

Sales in the quarter ended August 31, 2002 were $116,492,000, a decrease of
$5,733,000 from $122,225,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Manufactured housing sales for the first quarter totaled $81,107,000 compared
to $90,947,000 at August 31, 2001. Manufactured housing unit sales decreased
from 2,667 to 2,261. First quarter recreational vehicle sales increased from
$31,278,000 in fiscal 2002 to $35,385,000 in fiscal 2003. Recreational vehicle
unit sales for the quarter increased from 2,326 to 2,530. Manufacturing
housing sales continue to be affected by more competitive pricing caused by
difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing, and the softness in
the U. S. economy. The increase in recreational vehicle sales is a reflection
of an industry-wide improvement in market conditions for towable recreational
vehicles which began in early calendar year 2002.

Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was 87.2 percent of sales
compared to 85.9 percent in fiscal 2002. The increase is primarily
attributable to a product mix shift toward recreational vehicles. This
business segment represented 30 percent of total sales in fiscal 2003 versus
26 percent in fiscal 2002. Manufactured housing gross margins exceed those
for recreational vehicles.

Quarterly selling and administrative expenses increased slightly from 10.5
percent of sales in fiscal 2002 to 10.7 percent in fiscal 2003.

First quarter operating earnings as a percentage of sales for manufactured
housing were 4.1 percent in fiscal 2003 versus 5.7 percent in the prior year.
Recreational vehicle quarterly operating earnings as a percentage of sales were
0.4 percent for fiscal year 2003 and 1.8 percent in fiscal year 2002. First
quarter earnings for manufactured housing declined due to the continuation of
difficult market conditions noted above. Earnings for recreational vehicles
decreased primarily as a result of increased costs associated with new
model-year product introductions.

Interest income amounted to $592,000 for the first quarter compared to prior
year's $1,481,000. Interest income is directly related to the amount available
for investment and the prevailing yields of U.S. Government securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At August 31, 2002, cash and short-term investments in U. S. Treasury Bills
totaled $146,294,000, a decrease of $732,000 from $147,026,000 at May 31, 2002.
Current assets exclusive of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled
$47,894,000 at August 31, 2002, an increase of $2,097,000 from the May 31, 2002
balance of $45,797,000. The increase was due to seasonal increases in accounts
receivable ($1,388,000), and inventories ($566,000).



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


Results of Operations for the Current Quarter Compared to the Same Quarter
Last Year (continued)

Current liabilities increased $653,000 from $36,463,000 at May 31, 2002 to
$37,116,000 at August 31, 2002. Various factors contributed to the increase.
Accrued marketing programs increased $3,242,000 due to the timing of payments
for an ongoing marketing program. Accrued profit sharing decreased $1,762,000
due to the timing of a yearly contribution to the Corporation's profit sharing
program. Accrued salaries and wages decreased $1,009,000 as a result of the
timing of payroll payments at August 31 versus May 31.

Working capital at August 31, 2002 amounted to $157,072,000 compared to
$156,360,000 at May 31, 2002. Capital expenditures totaled $519,000 during
the first three months of fiscal 2003 compared to $1,287,000 in the previous
year. Capital expenditures during the first three months were made primarily
to replace or refurbish machinery and equipment and improve manufacturing
efficiencies.

The cash provided by operating activities, along with current cash and other
short-term investments, 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.

On September 16, 2002, Deutsche Financial Services (Deutsche), a national
provider of floor plan funding for manufactured housing dealer inventories,
announced that effective November 1, 2002, it would stop approving requests to
fund purchases of additional inventory for industry dealers. For the
three-month period ended August 31, 2002, less than seven percent of the
Corporation's manufactured housing sales were from manufactured housing dealers
who exclusively rely on Deutsche for floor plan financing. The remaining
manufactured housing sales were purchased with cash, or obtained through
financing from other wholesale lenders or local banks. The Corporation
believes Deutsche's decision will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Current Quarter Compared to the Same
Quarter Last Year (continued)

Other Matters

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.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect
transactions in the dollar values in which they were incurred and, therefore,
do not attempt to measure the impact of inflation. However, the Corporation
believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations during
the past three years. On a long-term basis, the Corporation has demonstrated
an ability to adjust the selling prices of its products in reaction to changing
costs due to inflation.

Forward Looking Information

Certain statements in this report are considered forward looking as indicated
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements
involve uncertainties that may cause actual results to materially differ from
expectations as of the report date. These uncertainties include but are not
limited to:

* Cyclical nature of the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle
industries
* Availability of wholesale and retail financing
* Interest rate levels
* Impact of inflation
* Competitive pressures on pricing and promotional costs
* Consumer confidence
* Market demographics
* Market disruption resulting from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,
and any subsequent armed conflict by the United States.
