Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
Skyline Corporation was originally incorporated in Indiana in
1959, as successor to a business founded in 1951. Skyline
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company")
design, produce and distribute manufactured housing (mobile homes
and multi-sectional homes) and recreational vehicles (travel
trailers, including park models and fifth wheels, and truck
campers).
The Company, which is one of the largest manufacturers of
manufactured homes in the United States, produced 20,301
manufactured homes in fiscal year 1996.
The Company's manufactured homes are marketed under a number of
trademarks. They are available in lengths ranging from 36' to
80' and in single wide widths from 12' to 18' and double wide
widths of 20', 24', 26' and 28'.
The Company's recreational vehicles are sold under the "Nomad",
"Layton", "Aljo" and "Mountain View" trademarks for travel
trailers and fifth wheels and the "WeekEnder" trademark for truck
campers.
In fiscal year 1996 manufactured homes represented 84% of total
sales, while recreational vehicles accounted for the remaining
16%. In the prior year the sales dollars were 79% manufactured
homes and 21% recreational vehicles. Additional financial data
relating to these industry segments is included in Note 3,
Industry Segment Information, in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this document under Item 8.
Narrative Description of Business
Principal Markets
The principal markets for manufactured homes are the suburban and
rural areas of the continental United States. The principal
buyers continue to be young marrieds and senior citizens, but the
market tends to broaden when conventional housing becomes more
difficult to purchase and finance.
The recreational vehicle market is made up of vacationing middle
income families, retired couples traveling around the country and
sportsmen pursuing four-season hobbies.
Method of Distribution
The Company's manufactured homes are distributed by approximately
990 dealers at 1,450 locations throughout the United States
and recreational vehicles are distributed by approximately 420
dealers at 530 locations throughout the United States. These
are generally not exclusive dealerships and it is believed that
most dealers also sell products of other manufacturers.
The Company provides the retail purchaser of its products with a
full one-year warranty against defects in materials and
workmanship. The warranties are backed by a corporate service
department and an extensive field service system.
The Company's products are sold to dealers on a cash on delivery
basis. Payments to the Company are made either directly by the
dealer or by financial institutions which have agreed to finance
dealer purchases of the Company's products. In accordance with
industry practice, certain financial institutions which finance
dealer purchases require the Company to execute repurchase
agreements which provide that in the event a dealer defaults on
its repayment of the financing, the Company will repurchase its
products from the financing institution in accordance with a
declining repurchase price schedule established by the Company.
Any loss under these agreements is the difference between the
repurchase cost and the resale value of the units repurchased.
Further, the risk of loss is spread over numerous dealers. There
have been no material losses related to repurchases in past
years.
Raw Materials and Supplies
The Company is basically an assembler of components purchased
from outside sources. The major components used by the Company
are lumber, plywood, shingles, vinyl and wood siding, steel,
aluminum, insulation, home appliances, furnaces, plumbing
fixtures, hardware, floor coverings and furniture. The suppliers
are many and range in size from large national companies to very
small local companies. At the present time, the Company is
obtaining sufficient materials to fulfill its needs.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
The Company does not rely upon any terminable or nonrenewable
rights such as patents or licenses or franchises under the
trademarks or patents of others, in the conduct of any segment of
its business.
Seasonal Fluctuations
While the Company maintains production of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations
in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured homes
are affected by winter weather conditions at the Company's
northern plants. Recreational vehicle sales are generally higher
in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter
months.
Inventory
The Company does not build significant inventories of either
finished goods or raw materials at any time. It does not deliver
on consignment.
Dependence Upon Individual Customers
The Company does not rely upon any single dealer for a
significant percentage of its business in any industry segment.
Backlog
The Company does not consider as significant in its business the
existence and extent of backlog at any given date. Because the
Company's production is based on dealers' orders, which
continuously fluctuate, and a relatively short manufacturing
cycle, the existence of a backlog does not provide a reliable
indication of the status of the Company's business.
Government Contracts
Two divisions of the Company had government contracts that
provided a small subsidy for making its electrically heated homes
more energy efficient. These contracts expired July 26, 1995.
Competitive Conditions
The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries are
highly competitive, with particular emphasis on price and
features offered. The Company's competitors are numerous,
ranging from multi-billion dollar corporations to relatively
small and specialized manufacturers.
The Manufactured Housing Institute reported that the industry
produced approximately 339,600 homes in calendar year 1995. In
the same period, the Company produced 20,709 units for a 6.1%
market share. In calendar year 1994, approximately 303,900 homes
were manufactured by the industry. In that period the Company
produced 19,917 homes for a 6.6% market share.
The recreational vehicle industry produced 475,200 units in
calendar year 1995 compared to 518,800 units in calendar year
1994. The following table shows the Company's competitive
position in the recreational vehicle product lines it sells.
Units Produced Units Produced
Calendar Year 1995 Calendar Year 1994
Industry Skyline Industry Skyline
Travel Trailers 76,700 5,778 79,400 6,903
Fifth Wheels 47,000 2,498 48,900 3,736
Park Models 6,900 692 6,400 791
Truck Campers 12,100 426 11,400 586
Both the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle segments
of the Company's business are dependent upon the availability of
financing to dealers and retail financing. Consequently,
increases in interest rates and/or tightening of credit through
governmental action or otherwise have adversely affected the
Company's business in the past and may do so in the future.
The Company considers it impossible to predict the future
occurrence, duration or severity of cost or availability
problems in financing either manufactured homes or recreational
vehicles. To the extent that they recur, such public concerns
will affect sales of the Company's products.
Regulation
The manufacture, distribution and sale of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles are subject to government regulations in
both the United States and Canada, at federal, state or
provincial and local levels.
Environmental Quality
The Company believes that compliance with federal, state and
local requirements respecting environmental quality will not
require any material capital expenditures for plant or equipment
modifications which would adversely affect earnings.
Other Regulations
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has
set national manufactured home construction and safety standards
and implemented recall and other regulations since 1976. The
National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of
1974, as amended, under which such standards and regulations are
promulgated, prohibits states from establishing or continuing in
effect any manufactured home standard that is not identical to
the federal standards as to any covered aspect of performance.
Implementation of these standards and regulations involves
inspection agency approval of manufactured home designs, plant
and home inspection by states or other HUD-approved third
parties, manufacturer certification that the standards are met,
and possible recalls if they are not or if homes contain safety
hazards.
Some components of manufactured homes may also be subject to
Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and recall
requirements. In addition, the Company has voluntarily subjected
itself to third party inspection of all of its products
nationwide in order to further assure the Company, its dealers,
and customers of compliance with established standards.
The Company's travel trailers continue to be subject to safety
standards and recall and other regulations promulgated by the
U.S. Department of Transportation under the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as well as state laws and
regulations.
The Company's operations are subject to the Federal Occupational
Safety and Health Act, and are routinely inspected thereunder.
The transportation and placement (in the case of manufactured
homes) of the Company's products are subject to state highway use
regulations and local ordinances which control the size of units
that may be transported, the roads to be used, speed limits,
hours of travel, and allowable locations for manufactured homes
and parks. The Company is also subject to many state
manufacturer licensing and bonding requirements, and to dealer
day in court requirements in some states.
Manufactured homes and recreational vehicles may be subject to
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement
Act, which regulates warranties on consumer products. The
Company believes that its existing warranties meet all
requirements of the Act.
HUD has promulgated rules requiring manufacturers of manufactured
homes to utilize wood products certified by their suppliers to
meet HUD's established limits on formaldehyde emissions, and to
place in each home written notice to prospective purchasers of
possible adverse reaction from airborne formaldehyde in the
homes. These rules are designated as preemptive of state
regulation.
Number of Employees
The Company employs approximately 3,600 people at the present
time.
Item 2. Properties

It is extremely difficult to determine the unit productive
capacity of the Company because of the ever-changing
product mix.
The Company believes that its plant facilities and
machinery and equipment are well maintained and are in
good operating condition.

to any pending legal proceeding which would have a
material effect on operations.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations - 1996 Compared to 1995
Sales in fiscal 1996 were $645,956,000, an increase of
$3,838,000 from $642,118,000 in fiscal 1995. Manufactured
housing sales totaled $542,519,000 for fiscal 1996 compared to
$505,668,000 in 1995. Manufactured housing unit sales
increased to 20,301 units compared to 20,248 units in 1995.
The sales increase in fiscal 1996 reflects favorable overall
economic conditions during much of the year which contributed
to an increase in industry-wide demand for manufactured
housing. These favorable conditions were partially offset by
severe weather conditions which negatively impacted housing
sales in certain markets during the third and fourth quarters.
Recreational vehicle sales decreased to $103,437,000 in 1996
compared to $136,450,000 in 1995. Recreational vehicle unit
sales decreased to 8,341 in fiscal 1996 compared to 11,315 in
1995. Sales of recreational vehicles were negatively affected
by a continued industry slowdown in the RV marketplace due
largely to consumer uncertainty regarding interest rates and
the general state of the economy.
Cost of sales in fiscal 1996 was 82.6% of sales compared to
84.1% in 1995. The decrease in costs as a percent of sales was
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 fiscal 1996 increased as
a percentage of sales to 13.1% from 12.8% in 1995. The
increase was due primarily to the costs of increased marketing
efforts.
Manufactured housing operating earnings as a percentage of
sales were 6.0% in 1996 and 4.7% in 1995, the net result of
increased margins and selling and administrative expenses
discussed above. Recreational vehicle operating earnings as a
percentage of sales decreased to a small loss of less than 0.1%
of sales in 1996 from an earnings of 0.1% of sales in 1995.
Operating earnings in 1996 for recreational vehicles were
depressed largely due to the sales decrease discussed above.
Interest income amounted to $6,192,000 in 1996 compared to
$5,827,000 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 higher investment levels during the period which
were partially offset by slightly lower yields.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued
Results of Operations - 1995 Compared to 1994
Sales in fiscal 1995 were $642,118,000, an increase of
$61,974,000 from $580,144,000 in fiscal 1994. Manufactured
housing sales totaled $505,668,000 for fiscal 1995 compared to
$441,422,000 in 1994. Manufactured housing unit sales
increased to 20,248 units compared to 19,467 units in 1994.
Recreational vehicle sales decreased to $136,450,000 in 1995
compared to $138,722,000 in 1994. Recreational vehicle unit
sales decreased to 11,315 in fiscal 1995 compared to 11,997 in
1994. Sales in fiscal 1995 reflect favorable overall economic
conditions during much of the year which contributed to an
increase in industry-wide demand for manufactured housing and
recreational vehicles. Sales of recreational vehicles were
negatively affected by a fourth quarter softening in demand due
largely to consumer uncertainty regarding interest rates.
Cost of sales in fiscal 1995 was 84.1% of sales compared to
84.5% in 1994. The decrease in costs as a percent of sales was
caused by increased manufacturing efficiencies which were
partially offset by additional costs associated with increasing
production at recently expanded facilities and a few plants not
achieving the results expected.
Selling and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 increased as
a percentage of sales to 12.8% from 12.2% in 1994. The increase
in 1995 was due primarily to the costs of increased marketing
efforts.
Manufactured housing operating earnings as a percentage of
sales were 4.7% in 1995 and 4.1% in 1994, the net result of
increased margins and selling expenses discussed above.
Recreational vehicle operating earnings as a percentage of
sales decreased to 0.1% in 1995 from 3.3% in 1994. During the
third quarter of 1995 the Corporation closed a high-end
recreational vehicle plant. Recreational vehicle operating
earnings as a percentage of sales excluding the closed plant's
operations were 1.9% and 3.9% in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Operating earnings in 1995 for recreational vehicles were also
negatively impacted by increased marketing costs and a fourth
quarter softening in demand.
Interest income amounted to $5,827,000 in 1995 compared to
$5,741,000 in 1994. The increase in interest income was due to
slightly higher yields during the period which were partially
offset by lower investment levels.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 31, 1996 cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills
totaled $55,093,000, an increase of $15,182,000 from
$39,911,000 at May 31, 1995. Current assets exclusive of cash
and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $68,774,000 at
the end of fiscal 1996, an increase of $1,349,000 from the
balance at May 31, 1995 of $67,425,000. Increases in trade
accounts receivable ($3,353,000) and deferred income tax
benefits ($2,368,000) were partially offset by reductions in
finished goods inventories ($3,586,000). Current liabilities
increased $9,860,000 from May 31, 1995 to $43,106,000 at May
31, 1996. This increase in current liabilities can mainly be
attributed to increased warranty expense reserves ($4,141,000),
increased income taxes payable ($2,148,000) and the changes in
other accrued liabilities ($2,551,000). Working capital at May
31, 1996 amounted to $80,761,000 compared to $74,090,000 at May
31, 1995.
Capital expenditures totaled $2,971,000 in 1996 compared to
$16,385,000 in 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. Capital expenditures
during fiscal 1995 included major renovations at four
manufactured housing facilities which totalled $9,993,000. Cash
was also used to purchase $9,671,000 of the Corporation's stock
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.
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Skyline
Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Skyline Corporation and its
subsidiaries at May 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended May 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of Skyline Corporation management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies
Nature of operations -- Skyline Corporation designs, manufactures
and sells at wholesale both a broad line of single and
multi-sectional manufactured homes and a large selection of
non-motorized recreational vehicle models. Both product lines are
sold through numerous independent dealers throughout the United
States who often utilize floorplan financing arrangements with
lending institutions.
The following is a summary of the accounting policies which have a
significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Skyline Corporation and all of its
subsidiaries (Corporation), each of which is wholly-owned. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Revenue recognition -- Substantially all of the Corporation's
products are made to order and are recorded as revenue upon
shipment.
Consolidated statements of cash flows -- For purposes of the
statements of cash flows, investments in treasury bills are
included as investing activities. The Corporation's cash flows
from operating activities were reduced by income taxes paid of
$13.0 million, $12.1 million and $9.9 million in 1996,1995 and
1994, respectively.
Inventory valuation -- Inventories are stated at cost, which
includes the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead, determined
under the first-in, first-out method, which is not in excess of
market.
Long-lived assets -- In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121
requires the review of long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. The effects on the financial statements of
adopting SFAS No. 121 were not material.
The Corporation has determined that the effects on the financial
statements from any other recently issued Accounting Standards
will not be material.
Depreciation -- Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful
lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial
statement reporting and accelerated methods are used for income
tax purposes.
Investments -- The Corporation invests in United States Government
securities. These securities are typically held until maturity or
reasonable proximity to maturity and are therefore classified as
held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. The following is
a summary of the securities (dollars in thousands):

U.S. Treasury Notes 59,917 238 (626) 59,529
Total 89,074 255 (626) 88,703
At May 31, 1996, the U.S. Treasury Bills mature within one year
and the U.S. Treasury Notes mature at various times from one to
two years. The Corporation does not have any other financial
instruments which have market values differing from recorded
values.
Warranty -- The Corporation provides a warranty on its products.
Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale.
Income taxes -- The difference between the Corporation's statutory
federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate is due
primarily to state income taxes.
The Corporation's deferred tax assets consist primarily of
temporary differences in the basis of certain liabilities for
financial statement and tax return purposes and its deferred tax
liabilities are due to the use of accelerated depreciation methods
for tax purposes. The amounts of such deferred tax items are not
significant individually or in the aggregate.
Reclassification -- Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 Contingencies
The Corporation was contingently liable at May 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.

NOTE 4 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.
The purchases would be made in the open market, or in negotiated
transactions, at such times and at such prices as management may
decide. During 1996, 1995 and 1994 the Corporation repurchased
548,100, 36,600 and 59,900 shares respectively, at an aggregate
average cost of approximately $17.60 per share.
NOTE 5 Employee Benefits
A) PROFIT SHARING PLANS
The Corporation has two deferred profit sharing Plans which
together cover substantially all of its employees. The Plans are
defined contribution plans to which the Corporation has the right
to modify, suspend or discontinue contributions. For the years
ended May 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, contributions to the Plans were
$2,594,000, $2,425,000 and $2,159,000, respectively.
B) RETIREMENT AND DEATH BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has entered into arrangements with certain
employees which provide for benefits to be paid to the employees'
estates in the event of death during active employment or
retirement benefits to be paid over 10 years beginning at the date
of retirement. To fund all such arrangements, the Corporation
purchased life insurance contracts on the covered employees. The
present value of the principal cost of such arrangements is being
accrued over the period from the date of such arrangements to full
eligibility using a discount rate of 7.5% in 1996 and 1995, and
7.25% in 1994. The change in the discount rate did not have a
significant impact on the financial statements. The amount charged
to operations under these arrangements was $285,000 in fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994.

SKYLINE HOMES, INC.
The undersigned officers of SKYLINE HOMES, INC.
(hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation"), existing pursuant to the
provisions of the Indiana General Corporation Act, as amended
(hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), desiring to give notice of
corporate action effectuating amendment of certain individual Articles
of its Articles of Incorporation, certify the following facts:
SUBDIVISION A
THE AMENDMENTS
The exact texts of Articles V, VI, VII, IX and XII of the Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (hereinafter referred
to as "The Amendments"), now are as follows:
ARTICLE V
Amount of Capital Stock
The total number of shares into which the authorized capital
stock of the Corporation is divided is hereby changed from 10,000
shares, consisting of 10,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value
of $10.00 per share, to 615,000 shares, consisting of 500,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock and 115,000 shares of Class B Common Stock,
each such class having a par value of $1.00 per share.
At the time and date that these Amendments shall become
effective each one of the 10,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of
$10.00 per share, of the Corporation issued and outstanding
immediately prior to such effectiveness shall become and be, without
further action by the Corporation or its shareholders, ten shares of
Class B Common Stock of the Corporation, authorized by these
Amendments. After the said effective date, the holders of shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock, par value of $10.00 per share, shall have
the right to surrender the certificates representing such shares to the
Corporation or to any Transfer Agent for the Class B Common Stock
and receive duly executed certificates representing the equivalent
number of shares of said Class B Common Stock.
Upon the occurrence of either of the events described in
Subsections (1) and (2) of Section E of the following Article VI, each
one of the then authorized shares of Class A and Class B Common
Stock, whether unissued, issued and outstanding or held in the treasury
of the Corporation, shall ipso facto become and be, without further
action by the Corporation or its shareholders, one share of Common
Stock with the par value of $1.00 per share, and the holders of shares
of the Class A or Class B Common Stock, shall have the right to
surrender the certificates representing such shares to the Corporation
or to any Transfer Agent for the Common Stock, par value of $1.00 per
share, and receive duly executed certificates representing an equal
number of shares of said Common Stock, par value of $1.00 per share.
ARTICLE VI
Terms of Capital Stock
The preferences, qualifications, restrictions, limitations and
special or relative rights and powers of the shares of Class A and Class
B Common Stock are as follows:
A. Such dividends as may be determined by the Board of
Directors may be paid on the Class A and Class B Common Stock, at
any time and from time to time, out of the assets of the Corporation
available for dividends under the laws of the State of Indiana, subject
to the following limitations and not otherwise, to-wit: (i) no dividend
payable in shares of Class A Common Stock shall be declared on the
Class B Common Stock and no dividend payable in shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be declared on the Class A Common Stock; (ii)
dividends payable in shares of the same class may, from time to time,
be declared on either the Class A or Class B Common Stock, provided
that a dividend payable in shares of the other class, at the same time
and at the same rate per share, is simultaneously declared on such other
class; (iii) dividends payable otherwise than in shares of Class B
Common Stock may in any calendar year be declared on the Class B
Common Stock, provided that the amount of such dividend, together
with any dividends, theretofore, in the same calendar year, declared on
such stock, does not exceed, on a per share basis, one-half of the
amount of any dividend on the Class A Common Stock which is
declared simultaneously with, and payable at the same time as, the
dividend declared on the Class B Common Stock, plus the amount of
all dividends theretofore, in the same calendar year, declared on the
Class A Common Stock.
B. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, any assets of the
Corporation in excess of its liabilities shall be distributed in the
following order:
(1). Assets of a value equal to an amount found by
multiplying $15.00 times the number of shares of the Class A
Common Stock then outstanding (provided that, if the number of such
outstanding shares has been changed by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, consolidations or other reclassifications occurring at any
time subsequent to the effective date of these Amendments, then,
assets of a value equal to an amount found by multiplying
$15.00 times the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock
that would be outstanding by for such stock dividends, split-ups,
consolidations or other reclassifications) shall be distributed to
the holders of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the
number of such shares held by each; and then
(2). Assets of a value equal to an amount found by
multiplying $15.00 times the number of shares of Class B Common
Stock then outstanding (subject to the same proviso applicable
to the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock) shall be
distributed to the holders thereof in accordance with the number of
shares held by each; and then
(3). The assets remaining shall be distributed among
the holders of both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, on a
share for share basis, without preference or distinction as to class.
If in making any distribution under subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, the
net or remaining assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to
permit a distribution of the full amount provided for in either of such
subparagraphs, all of the assets shall be distributed to the holders of the
class of stock specified in such subparagraph on a share for share basis.
C. On January 1, 1963, and again on January 1, 1964,
38,333 shares (on a cumulative basis) of Class B Common Stock, (or,
in case of changes in the number of outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock because of stock dividends, split-ups, consolidations or
other re-classifications occurring at any time subsequent to the effective
date of these Amendments, such number as would equal 38,333 shares
of Class B Common Stock but for such stock dividends, split-ups,
consolidations or other reclassifications), to be chosen as hereinafter
provided (and on January 1, 1965, the balance of all shares of Class B
Common Stock outstanding on, or issued after, that date), shall become
convertible, at the option of the holders thereof and upon surrender to
the Corporation or to any Transfer Agent of the Class A Common
Stock of the certificate for the shares so to be converted, into fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the rate of one
share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common
Stock tendered for conversion. Upon such conversion of any shares of
Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock no
allowance or adjustment shall be made for dividends on either class of
stock.
The particular shares of Class B Common Stock at the time
outstanding which are to become eligible for conversion into Class A
Common Stock on January 1, 1963, and 1964 shall be fixed and
identified from time to time by resolution or resolutions of the Board
of Directors on a substantially pro-rata basis between the holders at
such times of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, and a certified
copy of each such resolution or resolutions shall be forthwith delivered
by the Corporation to the Transfer Agent for the Class A Common
Stock.
The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock the full
number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the
conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock, from time to time
outstanding.
Shares of Class B Common Stock which have been converted
into shares of Class A Common Stock, as herein provided, shall not be
re-issued but shall be cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the
laws of the State of Indiana.
D. The Corporation shall not declare a split-up,
consolidation or other re-classification of either the Class A or Class B
Common Stock into a different number of shares of such class, unless
it simultaneously declares a split-up, consolidation or other re-
classification, as the case may be, of the other class into a different
number of shares at the same rate per share.
E. In the event that:
(1). Mr. Arthur J. Decio shall cease to act on a full
time basis as the principal executive officer of the Corporation
(except for such reasonable and ordinary interruptions of a temporary
nature as may occur by reason of illness or like causes) whether
such cessation is due to the termination of his employment by
the Corporation, by his own act, because of his death or
permanent disability, or for any other reason whatsoever; or
(2). The amount of outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be reduced in number to less than 50,000
shares, or, in case of changes in the number of outstanding shares
of Class B Common Stock because of stock dividends, split- ups,
consolidations or other re-classifications occurring at any time
subsequent to the effective date of this Amendment, then to less
than such number as would equal 50,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock, but for such stock dividends, split-ups,
consolidations or other re-classifications;
then, upon the occurrence of either of such events, each one of the then
authorized shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock, whether
unissued, issued and outstanding, or held in the treasury of the
Corporation, shall ipso facto become and be, without further action of
the Corporation or its stockholders, one share of Common Stock, with
a par value of $1.00 per share, and all such shares shall be of one and
the same class, with equal and identical rights, privileges, powers,
obligations, restrictions and voting rights, and all distinctions in regard
to preference, qualifications, restrictions, limitations and special or
relative rights or powers theretofore applicable to the Class A and Class
B Common Stock, described in this Article VI and the following Article
VII, shall cease to exist.
F. No stockholder of the Corporation of any class, shall
have a preemptive right to purchase, subscribe for, or take any part of
any stock or any part of any notes, debentures, bonds or other
securities, whether or not convertible into, or carrying options or
warrants to purchase, stock of this corporation hereafter issued,
optioned or sold by it.
ARTICLE VII
Voting Rights of Capital Stock
A. All holders of record of any class or classes of stock of
the Corporation shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such
class or classes so held, upon any question presented at a regular or
special meeting of shareholders.
At any election of directors held prior to the occurrence of either
of the events described in Subsection (1) and (2) of Section E of the
preceding Article VI, the record holders of the Class B Common Stock
shall have the right to elect such number of the directors as will
constitute two-thirds in number of the full Board of Directors of the
Corporation, and if the number of places on the full Board of Directors
is not divisible by three, then the holders of the Class B Common Stock
shall have the right to elect the smallest number of directors sufficient
to constitute more than two-thirds in number of such full Board of
Directors (the directors so elected to be known as Class B Directors),
and the record holders of the Class A Common Stock shall have the
right to elect the remaining number of directors to be elected at such
meeting (the directors so elected to be known as Class A Directors).
All such Directors shall be elected by a majority vote of the record
holders of the Class A or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be,
each such holder having one vote for each share of stock of such class
so held. If the office of any Class A or Class B Director becomes
vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification,
removal from office or otherwise, a majority of the remaining Class A
or Class B Directors, as the case may be, shall choose a successor who
shall hold office for the unexpired term to which such vacancy
occurred, or until the next election of directors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing if prior to the issuance of any shares of Class A Common
Stock, any vacancies shall occur on the Board of Directors because of
an increase in the number of Directors of the Corporation, then each
such vacancy shall be filled by a majority vote of the record holders of
the Class B Common Stock, each such holder having one vote for each
share of such stock so held, and after such election, each Director so
elected shall be designated as either a Class A or Class B Director by
a majority vote of the such holders of Class B Common Stock.
At any election of Directors held subsequent to the occurrence
of either of the aforesaid events, each Director shall be elected by a
majority vote of the record holders of all class or classes of stock of this
Corporation, without distinction as to class, each such holder having
one vote for each share of stock of such class or classes so held.
The shareholders shall at no time have the right to accumulate
their votes and distribute them among the candidates for election to the
Board of Directors.
B. Until the occurrence of either of the events described in
Subsections (1) and (2) of Section E of the preceding Article VI, the
Corporation shall not amend, alter, change, add to, or repeal any of the
provisions of the preceding Articles V or VI or of this Article VII or
enter into any agreements of merger or consolidation, or take any action
with respect to the Class A Common Stock, other than the declaration
or payment of any cash dividend or dividends thereon, which action, in
the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, would
materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of the Class B
Common Stock as set forth in Section C of the preceding Article VI,
without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-
thirds of the Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding, voting as
a class, and at least one-half of the Class B Common Stock at the time
outstanding, voting as a class, given in person or by proxy, either in
writing or, by resolution adopted at a duly called meeting of
shareholders; and after the occurrence of either of such events
described in Subsections (1) and (2) of Section E of the preceding
Article VI, the Corporation shall not amend, alter, change, add to, or
repeal any of the provisions of the preceding Article V or VI of this
Article VII or enter into an agreement of merger or consolidation,
without the affirmative vote or consent os the holders of at least two-
thirds of the Common Stock, par value of $1.00 per share, at the time
outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing, or by
resolution adopted at a duly called meeting of shareholders.

C. On January 1, 1963, and again on January 1, 1964,

in case of changes in the number of outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock because of stock dividends, split-ups, consolidations or
other reclassifications occurring at any time subsequent to the effective
date of these Amendments, such number as would equal 73,333 shares
of Class B Common Stock but for such stock dividends, split-ups,
consolidations or other reclassifications), to be chosen as hereinafter
provided (and on January 1, 1965, the balance of all shares of Class B
Common Stock outstanding on, or issued after, that date), shall become
convertible, at the option of the holders thereof and upon surrender to
the Corporation or to any Transfer Agent of the Class A Common
Stock of the certificate for the shares so to be converted, into fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the rate of one
share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common
Stock tendered for conversion. Upon such conversion of any shares of
Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock no
allowance or adjustment shall be made for dividends on either class of
stock.
The particular shares of Class B Common Stock at the time
outstanding which are to become eligible for conversion into Class A
Common Stock on January 1, 1963, and 1964 shall be fixed and
identified from time to time by resolution or resolutions of the Board
of Directors on a substantially pro-rata basis between the holders at
such times of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, and a certified
copy of each such resolution or resolutions shall be forthwith delivered
by the Corporation to the Transfer Agent for the Class A Common
Stock.
The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out
if its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock the full
number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the
conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock, from time to time
outstanding.
Shares of Class B Common Stock which have been converted
into shares of Class A Common Stock, as herein provided, shall not be
re-issued but shall be cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the
laws of the State of Indiana.
D. The Corporation shall not declare a split-up,
consolidation or other re-classification of either the Class A or Class B
Common Stock into a different number of shares of such class, unless
it simultaneously declares a split-up, consolidation or other re-
classification, as the case may be, of the other class into a different
number of shares at the same rate per share.
E. In the event that:
(1). Mr. Arthur J. Decio shall cease to act on a full
time basis as the principal executive officer of the Corporation
(except for such reasonable and ordinary interruptions of a temporary
nature as may occur by reason of illness or like causes) whether
such cessation is due to the termination of his employment by
the Corporation, by his own act, because of his death or
permanent disability, or for any other reason whatsoever; or
(2). The amount of outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be reduced in number to less than 100,000
shares, or, in case of changes in the number of outstanding shares
of Class B Common Stock because of stock dividends, split- ups,
consolidations or other re-classifications occurring at any time
subsequent to the effective date of this Amendment, then to less
than such number as would equal 100,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock, but for such stock dividends, split-ups,
consolidations or other re-classifications;
then, upon the occurrence of either of such events, each one of the then
authorized shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock, whether
unissued, issued and outstanding, or held in the treasury of the
Corporation, shall ipso facto become and be, without further action of
the Corporation or its stockholders, one share of Common Stock with
a par value of 50 cents per share, and all such shares shall be of one
and the same class, with equal and identical rights, privileges, powers,
obligations, restrictions and voting rights, and all distinctions in regard
to preference, qualifications, restrictions, limitations and special or
relative rights or powers theretofore applicable to the Class A and Class
B Common Stock, described in this Article VI and the following Article
VII, shall cease to exist.
F. No stockholder of the Corporation of any class, shall
have a preemptive right to purchase, subscribe for, or take any part of
any stock or any part of any notes, debentures, bonds or other
securities, whether or not convertible into, or carrying options or
warrants to purchase, stock of this Corporation hereafter issued,
optioned or sold by it.
ARTICLE VII
Voting Rights of Capital Stock
A. All holders of record of any class or classes of stock of
the Corporation shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such
class or classes so held, upon any question presented at a regular or
special meeting of shareholders.
At any election of directors held prior to the occurrence of either
of the events described in Subsection (1) and (2) of Section E of the
preceding Article VI, the record holders of the Class B Common Stock
shall have the right to elect such number of the directors as will
constitute two-thirds in number of the full Board of Directors of the
Corporation, and if the number of places on the full Board of Directors
is not divisible by three, then the holders of the Class B Common Stock

Directors (the directors so elected to be known as Class B Directors),
and the record holders of the Class A Common Stock shall have the
right to elect the remaining number of directors to be elected at such
meeting (the directors so elected to be known as Class A Directors).

so held. If the office of any Class A or Class B Directors becomes
vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification,
removal from office or otherwise, a majority of the remaining Class A
or Class B Directors, as the case may be, shall choose a successor who
shall hold office for the unexpired term to which such vacancy
occurred, or until the next election of directors.
At any election of Directors held subsequent to the occurrence
of either of the aforesaid events, each Director shall be elected by a
majority vote of the record holders of all class or classes of stock of this
Corporation, without distinction as to class, each such holder having
one vote for each share of stock of such class or classes so held.
The shareholders shall at no time have the right to accumulate
their votes and distribute them among the candidates for election to the
Board of Directors.
B. Until the occurrence of either of the events described in
Subsections (1) and (2) of Section E of the preceding Article VI, the
Corporation shall not amend, alter, change, add to, or repeal any of the
provisions of the preceding Articles V or VI or of this Article VII or
enter into any agreements of merger or consolidation, or take any action
with respect to the Class A Common Stock, other than the declaration
or payment of any cash dividend or dividends thereon, which action, in
the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, would
materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of the Class B
Common Stock as set forth in Section C of the preceding Article VI,
without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-
thirds of the Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding, voting as
a class, and at least one-half of the Class B Common Stock at the time
outstanding, voting as a class, given in person or by proxy, either in
writing or, by resolution adopted at a duly called meeting of
shareholders; and after the occurrence of either of such events
described in Subsections (1) and (2) of Section E of the preceding
Article VI, the Corporation shall not amend, alter, change, add to, or
repeal any of the provisions of the preceding Article V or VI of this
Article VII or enter into an agreement of merger or consolidation,
without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-
thirds of the Common Stock, par value of 50 cents per share, at the time
outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing, or by
resolution adopted at a duly called meeting of shareholders.
