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, 2005, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004.

The Corporation has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2004 as more fully described in Note 3.

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/A.

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):

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

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies (continued)

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):

The Corporation was contingently liable at February 28, 2005 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, 2005 and $100 million at May 31, 2004. 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. There were no repurchases in the nine-month periods ending February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004.

In November 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4” (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, and requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of production be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. This pronouncement is effective for the Corporation beginning June 1, 2006. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its future financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 Industry Segment Information

(Dollars in thousands)

Operating earnings (loss) represent earnings before interest income and provision for income taxes with non-traceable operating expenses being allocated to industry segments based on percentages of sales.

NOTE 3 Restatements

The Corporation has historically recorded all proceeds received from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Management has determined that the proceeds received upon sale or maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills represents an investing cash inflow for the amount of the original investment and an operating cash inflow for the interest received. Accordingly, the Corporation has restated its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2004 to properly classify the proceeds from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills as either operating or investing activities. The restatement had no impact on total cash flows.

NOTE 3 Restatements (continued)

The Corporation has also determined in its review of its Consolidated Financial Statements that historically certain of its accounts have been misclassified. These misclassifications, which the Corporation believes are immaterial and would not themselves require restatement, include the recording of sales of parts as a reduction in cost of sales rather than an increase in revenue, the reporting of certain employee benefits as relating entirely to administrative expenses instead of allocating the amounts related to manufacturing to cost of sales, and the reporting of certain assets and liabilities as current when a portion should properly be classified as non-current. Accordingly, the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements have also been restated for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2004, and as of May 31, 2004, to reflect these changes in classification. The restatements had no effect on the total or per-share amount of net earnings (loss) or shareholders’ equity for any periods. The restatements of the Consolidated Financial Statements had the following effects (dollars in thousands):

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

Overview

The Corporation sells manufactured housing and towable recreational vehicle products to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States. To better serve the needs of its dealers, the Corporation has twenty-two manufacturing facilities in eleven states. Manufactured housing and recreational vehicles are sold to dealers either through floor plan financing with various financial institutions or on a cash basis. While the Corporation 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 Corporation’s northern plants. Recreational vehicle sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter months.

Sales in both business segments are affected by the strength of the U.S. economy, interest rate levels, consumer confidence and the availability of wholesale and retail financing. The manufactured housing segment is currently affected by an industry recession. This recession, caused primarily by restrictive retail financing, economic uncertainty and global tensions, has resulted in industry sales to be the lowest in decades. In the recreational vehicle segment, the Corporation sells travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models. Industry sales of travel trailers and fifth wheels have seen steady growth in recent years.

Despite the recession in the manufactured housing industry, demand for multi-section homes is increasing. This product is often sold as part of a land-home package and is financed with a conventional mortgage. Multi-section homes have an appearance similar to site-built homes and are notably less expensive. The Corporation is capitalizing on the increased demand for multi-section homes by expanding manufacturing capabilities. Eight manufactured housing facilities obtained approval from applicable state and local governmental entities to produce modular homes, which will extend existing product offerings.

The recreational vehicle segment is witnessing a shift in consumer demand for both metal-sided products and products with bonded fiberglass exteriors. The Corporation is positioning itself to take advantage of the expanding towable recreational vehicle segment in which it competes.

Restatements

The Corporation has historically recorded all proceeds received from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Management has determined that the proceeds received upon sale or maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills represents an investing cash inflow for the amount of the original investment and an operating cash inflow for the interest received. The Corporation has also determined in its review of its Consolidated Financial Statements that historically certain of its accounts have been misclassified. These misclassifications, which the Corporation believes are immaterial and would not themselves require restatement, include the recording of sales of parts as a reduction in cost of sales rather than an increase in revenue, the reporting of certain employee benefits as relating entirely to administrative expenses instead of allocating the amounts related to manufacturing to cost of sales, and the reporting of certain assets and liabilities as current when a portion should more properly be classified as non-current.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Restatements (continued)

The accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects the restatement of the interest received in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the immaterial misclassifications in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2004 as described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations – Three-Month Period Ended February 28, 2005 Compared to the
Three-Month Period Ended February 29, 2004

Sales and Unit Shipments
(Dollars in thousands)

Manufactured housing unit sales continue to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing, economic uncertainty and increased global tensions. Average sales per unit rose due to increased selling prices and a product mix shift toward multi-section homes. Selling prices increased as a result of unprecedented increases in the cost of lumber, lumber-related materials and steel. Multi-section homes represent 81.5 percent of total unit sales for the three-month period ended February 28, 2005 versus 80.6 percent for the three-month period ended February 29, 2004.

Recreational vehicle dollar sales rose due to increased selling prices meant to offset increased material costs in lumber, lumber-related products and steel.

Recreational vehicle unit sales decreased as a result of a continued shift in consumer demand toward products with bonded fiberglass exteriors. The Corporation currently offers a limited number of models with this exterior.

Cost of Sales
(Dollars in thousands)

Manufactured housing cost of sales as a percentage of sales declined due to increased selling prices offsetting material cost increases.

Recreational vehicle cost of sales rose primarily due to increased warranty costs, and costs associated with an idled recreational vehicle facility.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
(Dollars in thousands)

Expenses rose due to increases in the following forms of compensation: salaries and wages; sales volume based commissions; bonuses based on operating profit; and a change in valuation of the Corporation’s liability for certain post-retirement benefits.

Operating Earnings (Loss)
(Dollars in thousands)

Operating earnings for manufactured housing improved due to increased selling prices offsetting increased material costs. In addition, multi-section homes represented a greater percentage of total unit sales.

Operating loss for recreational vehicles increased due to $112,000 in costs associated with a facility that was idled in the third fiscal quarter.

Interest Income
(Dollars in thousands)

Interest income is directly related to the amount available for investment and the prevailing yields of U.S. Government Securities.

Results of Operations – Nine-Month Period Ended February 28, 2005 Compared to the Nine-Month Period Ended February 29, 2004

Sales and Unit Shipments
(Dollars in thousands)

Manufactured housing unit sales continue to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing, economic uncertainty and increased global tensions. Average sales per unit rose due to increased selling prices and a product mix shift toward multi-section homes. Selling prices increased as a result of unprecedented increases in the cost of lumber, lumber-related materials and steel. Multi-section homes represent 81.7 percent of total unit sales for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2005 versus 80.2 percent for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2004.

Recreational vehicle dollar sales rose due to increased selling prices meant to offset increased material costs in lumber, lumber-related products and steel.

Recreational vehicle unit sales decreased as a result of a continued shift in consumer demand toward products with bonded fiberglass exteriors. The Corporation currently offers a limited number of models with this exterior.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations – Nine-Month Period Ended February 28, 2005 Compared to the
Nine-Month Period Ended February 29, 2004 (continued)

Cost of sales for both business segments rose primarily due to increased cost of lumber,
lumber-related materials and steel. In addition, the Corporation experienced rising costs associated with workers compensation and warranty. The recreational vehicles segment was also impacted by costs associated with a facility idled in the third fiscal quarter.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
(Dollars in thousands)

Expenses rose due to increases in the following forms of compensation: salaries and wages; sales volume based commissions; bonuses based on operating profit; and a change in valuation of the Corporation’s liability for certain post-retirement benefits.

Operating Earnings (Loss)
(Dollars in thousands)

As noted above, increased costs of material, workers compensation and warranty negatively affected operating earnings for both segments. The manufactured housing segment had increased sales volume discounts resulting from existing marketing programs. The recreational vehicle segment was further impacted by $817,000 in costs for a facility that was idled in the Corporation’s third fiscal quarter.

Interest Income
(Dollars in thousands)

Interest income is directly related to the amount available for investment and the prevailing yields of U.S. Government Securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
(Dollars in thousands)

The Corporation’s policy is to invest in U.S. Government Securities when cash exceeds operating requirements. Currents assets exclusive of cash and U. S. Treasury Bills and Notes decreased due to a $1,519,000 seasonal decline in accounts receivable, and a $2,787,000 decrease in other current assets. Other current assets declined due to a reduction in a prepayment for the Corporation’s future estimated cost of workers’ compensation benefits.

Current liabilities increased primarily due to a $5,150,000 rise in accrued marketing programs. The increase is due to higher sales and the timing of an ongoing marketing program.

Capital expenditures totaled $2,236,000 for the nine-months ended February 28, 2005 compared to $1,468,000 in the previous year. Capital expenditures during this period were made primarily to replace or refurbish machinery, equipment and facilities in addition to improving manufacturing efficiencies.

A special dividend of $8,391,000 ($1.00 per share) was paid on November 1, 2004 to shareholders of the Corporation’s common stock at the close of business October 14, 2004.

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.

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

The provisions 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. The Corporation however, recently experienced significant increases in the cost of lumber, lumber-related materials and steel. Although the Corporation was unable to recover all of the increases in the first half of fiscal 2005, on a long-term basis it has demonstrated an ability to adjust selling prices in reaction to changing costs due to inflation. The Corporation believes that except as noted above, inflation has not had a material effect on its operations during the nine-month period ended February 28, 2005.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has introduced many new requirements applicable to the company regarding corporate governance and reporting. Section 404 of the Act requires management to report on the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting. If necessary the Corporation will devote substantial time and cost during fiscal year 2005 to ensure compliance. Management is making every effort to comply with Section 404 in a timely fashion.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Corporation has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this report and have determined such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting: Subsequent to the filing of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended May 31, 2004, the Corporation identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to classification of items in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As set forth in Note 3 to the financial statements herein, the Corporation restated its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine-months ended February 29, 2004. The restatement resulted from a material weakness in the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting regarding the classification of proceeds received from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills.

The Corporation implemented the following changes to its internal controls over financial reporting to address the material weakness noted above, and the misclassifications further discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements:

	•	An extensive review of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) pertaining to proper classifications of accounts in the financial statements of the Corporation.
	•	A quarterly review of newly issued GAAP pronouncements for possible classification impacts on the financial statements of the Corporation.
	•	A quarterly review of the Corporation’s accounts for changes in the nature of the business that may have an impact on classifications within the financial statements and related disclosures.
