Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine-month period ended February 28, 2003

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 February 28, 2003, the
consolidated results of operations for three-month and nine-month periods ended
February 28, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended February 28, 2003 and 2002.

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. Total inventories for the periods
presented consisted of (dollars in thousands):

February 28, 2003 May 31, 2002

Raw Materials $ 4,314 $ 4,280

Work In Process 5,134 5,183

Finished Goods 66 169

$ 9,514 $ 9,632


On November 25, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". This
Interpretation elaborates on the evaluation of guarantees and the disclosures
to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about
its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. The Corporation
currently has obligations regarding its guarantees for warranty and repurchase
agreements. Interpretation No. 45 was adopted in the third quarter of fiscal
2003 with no material impact.

The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its manufactured homes with a
one-year warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship.
Recreational vehicles are covered by a two-year warranty.


Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the nine-month period ended February 28, 2003

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies

The warranties are backed by a corporate service department and an extensive
field service system. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale
based upon current sales, historical experience and management's judgment
regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims. The adequacy of the recorded
warranty liability is periodically assessed and the amount is adjusted as
necessary. A reconciliation of accrued warranty and related expenses is as
follows (dollars in thousands):

Nine-Months Ended Year Ended
February 28, 2003 May 31, 2002

Balance at the beginning
of the period $ 10,100 $ 10,084

Accruals for warranties 8,678 12,853

Settlements made during the period (8,270) (12,837)

Balance at the end of the period $ 10,508 $ 10,100

The Corporation was contingently liable at February 28, 2003 under repurchase
agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing
for retailers of its products. Under these arrangements, which are customary
in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries, the
Corporation agrees to repurchase homes in the event of default by the retailer
at declining prices over the term of the agreement, generally 12 months. The
maximum repurchase liability is the total amount that would be paid upon the
default of all the Corporation's independent dealers. The maximum potential
repurchase liability, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased
units, was approximately $104 million at February 28, 2003 and $120 million at
May 31, 2002. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over many
retailers and financial institutions. The loss, if any, under these agreements
is the difference between the repurchase cost and the resale value of the
units. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes a reserve for potential
net losses on repurchased units. The amounts of obligations from repurchased
units and incurred net losses for the periods presented are as follows (dollars
in thousands):

Three-Months Ended Nine-Months Ended
February 28, February 28,
2003 2002 2003 2002

Obligations from units repurchased $ 316 $ 35 $ 630 $ 922

Net losses on repurchased units 1 6 51 179


Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the nine-month period ended February 28, 2003

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity." SFAS 146 addresses significant issues
relating to the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated
with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS
146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
The Corporation does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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 February 28, 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings for each of the
three-month and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month period ended
February 28, 2003 and 2002. 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
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 it
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 information as of
February 28, 2003, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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 February 28, 2003 were $ 87,709,000, a decrease of
$8,371,000 from $96,080,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Fiscal 2003 sales through February 28 were $316,668,000, a decrease of
$19,691,000 from prior year's sales of $336,359,000. Manufactured housing
sales for the third quarter totaled $62,355,000 compared to $74,317,000 at
February 28, 2002. Manufactured housing unit sales decreased from 2,178 to
1,684. This segment's fiscal year sales were $222,061,000 versus $261,424,000,
while unit sales declined from 7,637 to 6,078. Third quarter recreational
vehicle sales increased from $21,763,000 in fiscal 2002 to $25,354,000 in
fiscal 2003. Recreational vehicle unit sales for the quarter increased from
1,525 to 1,730. Fiscal year sales through February 28 were $94,607,000 versus
$74,935,000. Unit sales increased from 5,406 to 6,579. Manufacturing housing
sales continue to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive
retail financing, and 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. This trend began in early calendar year 2002.

Cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was 89.9 percent of sales
compared to 87.5 percent in fiscal 2002. Cost of sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 2003 was 87.7 percent versus 86.1 percent in the prior year.
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 22 percent in fiscal 2002. Manufactured housing
gross margins exceed those for recreational vehicles.

Quarterly selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
increased from 11.8 percent in fiscal 2002 to 12.2 percent in fiscal 2003,
although the level of expenditures decreased $653,000 from the prior year.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2003
totaled 11.2 percent versus fiscal 2002's 10.9 percent, while expenditures
decreased $1,343,000.

As a percentage of sales, third quarter operating loss for manufactured housing
was 0.2 percent in fiscal 2003 versus operating earnings of 3.2 percent in the
prior year. Year to date operating earnings for manufactured housing were 3.1
percent in fiscal 2003 versus prior year's 5.5 percent. Earnings for
manufactured housing declined due to the continuation of difficult market
conditions noted above. Recreational vehicle quarterly losses were 5.0 percent
for fiscal year 2003 and 3.8 percent in fiscal year 2002. The quarterly loss
for recreational vehicles increased because of pricing pressures on gross
margins. Recreational vehicle operating losses for the nine months ended
February 28 were 1.1 percent for fiscal years 2003 and 1.3 percent for fiscal
year 2002.


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)

Interest income amounted to $465,000 for the third quarter compared to prior
year's $831,000. 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 February 28, 2003, cash and short-term investments in U. S. Treasury Bills
totaled $152,504,000, an increase of $5,478,000 from $147,026,000 at May 31,
2002. Current assets exclusive of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills
totaled $41,386,000 at February 28, 2003, a decrease of $4,411,000 from the
May 31, 2002 balance of $45,797,000. The decrease was due to a seasonal
decline in accounts receivable ($4,791,000).

Current liabilities increased $1,189,000 from $36,463,000 at May 31, 2002 to
$37,652,000 at February 28, 2003. Various factors contributed to the increase.
Accrued marketing programs increased $4,692,000 due to the timing of payments
for an ongoing marketing program. Trade accounts payable decreased $1,123,000
due to the seasonality of the Corporation's business. Accrued salaries and
wages decreased $1,653,000 due to the timing of paying employees at
February 28, 2003 versus May 31, 2002. Income taxes decreased $1,156,000 due
to the timing of federal income tax payments during the year.

Working capital at February 28, 2003 amounted to $156,238,000 compared to
$156,360,000 at May 31, 2002. Capital expenditures totaled $ 1,293,000 during
the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to $2,890,000 in the previous
year. Capital expenditures during this period 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.

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)

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
* Management's ability to attract and retain executive officers and key
personnel
* Market disruption resulting from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,
increased global tensions and armed conflict in Iraq.
