Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of November 30, 2010, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009. Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation’s business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
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 audited consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2010 and the unaudited 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.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide new financial statement disclosures regarding financing receivables, including credit risk exposures and the allowance for credit losses. For public entities, this ASU is effective for reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010 for disclosures of financing receivables as of the end of a reporting period. Financing receivables disclosures relating to activity occurring during a reporting period are required to be adopted for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-20 to have a material effect on its future financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 2 Investments
The Corporation invests in United States Government securities, which are typically held until 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):

NOTE 2 Investments—(Continued)
The fair value is determined by a secondary market for U.S. Government Securities. At November 30 and May 31, 2010, the U.S. Treasury Bills matured within three and four months, respectively.
NOTE 3 Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are based on the amounts billed to dealers and communities. The Corporation does not accrue interest on any of its trade receivables.
NOTE 4 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out method. Physical inventory counts are taken at the end of each reporting quarter.
Total inventories consist of the following:
| November 30, 2010 | May 31, 2010 | |||||||
| (Dollars in thousands) | ||||||||

| Work in process | 2,481 | 2,941 | ||||||
| Finished goods | 223 | 41 | ||||||
| $ | 6,922 | $ | 6,756 | |||||
NOTE 5 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial statement reporting and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of property, plant and equipment, including idle property, are as follows: Building and improvements 10 to 30 years; machinery and equipment 5 to 8 years. Idle property, net of depreciation represents the net book value of idle manufacturing facilities in the following locations: Hemet, California; Ocala, Florida; Halstead, Kansas; Mocksville, North Carolina and Ephrata, Pennsylvania.
NOTE 6 Warranty
The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its manufactured homes with a full fifteen-month warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship. Recreational vehicles are covered by a one-year warranty. The warranties are backed by service departments located at the Corporation’s manufacturing facilities and an extensive field service system.

| Accrued warranty and related expenses | $ | 3,344 | $ | 3,851 | ||||
NOTE 7 Income Taxes
The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets based on differences between the carrying values of assets for financial and tax reporting purposes. The realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income. Generally accepted accounting principles require that an entity consider both negative and positive evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted. In comparing negative and positive evidence, continual losses in recent years is considered significant, negative, objective evidence that deferred tax assets may not be realized in the future, and generally is assigned more weight than subjective positive evidence of the realizability of deferred tax assets. As a result of its extensive evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, management recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
The Corporation’s gross deferred tax assets of approximately $23 million consist of approximately $12 million in federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, $5 million in state net operating loss carryforwards, and $6 million resulting from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards have a life expectancy of twenty years.

Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
NOTE 7 Income Taxes—(Continued)
The state net operating loss carryforwards have a life expectancy, depending on the state where a loss was incurred, between five and twenty years. If the Corporation, after considering future negative and positive evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, determines that a lesser valuation allowance is warranted, it would record a reduction to income tax expense and the valuation allowance in the period of determination.
NOTE 8 Commitments and Contingencies
The Corporation was contingently liable at November 30, 2010 under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing for dealers of its products. Under these arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries, the Corporation agrees to repurchase units in the event of default by the dealer at declining prices over the term of the agreement. The period to potentially repurchase units is between 12 to 24 months.
The maximum repurchase liability is the total amount that would be paid upon the default of the Corporation’s independent dealers. The maximum potential repurchase liability, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was approximately $46 million at November 30, 2010 and approximately $49 million at May 31, 2010.
The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over many dealers 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 Corporation estimates the fair value of this commitment considering both the contingent losses and the value of the guarantee. This amount has historically been insignificant. The Corporation believes that any potential loss under the agreements in effect at November 30, 2010 will not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Overview
The Corporation designs, produces and distributes manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models) to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States and Canada. Manufactured housing represents homes built according to a national building code; modular housing represents homes built to a local building code. To better serve the needs of its dealers and communities, the Corporation has thirteen active manufacturing facilities in ten states. Manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicles are sold to dealers and communities either through floor plan financing with various financial institutions or on a cash basis. While the Corporation maintains production of manufactured housing, modular homes and recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured housing and modular housing 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.
Industry Conditions
Sales of manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicles 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 industry has until recently been affected by a continuing decline in sales. This decline, caused primarily by adverse economic conditions, tightening retail and wholesale credit markets and a depressed site-built housing market, is resulting in historically low industry shipments. From January to November of 2010, however, total shipments were approximately 47,000 units, a 2 percent increase from the same period a year ago.
Tight credit markets for retail and wholesale financing have become a significant challenge for the manufactured housing industry. According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, a lack of retail financing options and restrictive credit standards has negatively affected manufactured home buyers. In addition, a significant decline has occurred in wholesale financing, especially as national floor plan lenders have decreased lending to industry dealers.
Sales of recreational vehicles are influenced by changes in consumer confidence, the availability of retail and wholesale financing and gasoline prices. Industry unit sales of travel trailers and fifth wheels have varied in recent years. From calendar 2007 to the first half of 2009 unit sales decreased as a result of recessionary conditions, decreased household wealth, tightening credit markets for retail and wholesale financing, and excess inventory of new recreational vehicles. Unit sales, however, started increasing in the last half of calendar 2009 and continues to date. The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), notes that economic uncertainty, continuing credit constraints, depressed home values, higher unemployment and lackluster income growth could slow the pace of the recovery.

Outlook
The Corporation’s manufacturing and modular housing segment encountered increased sales in the first half of fiscal 2011, and management cannot determine with certainty if the increase is sustainable. This uncertainty is based on continuing negative economic conditions previously referenced.
The recreational vehicle segment experienced increased sales in the first half of fiscal 2011. Regarding the business environment for the last half of fiscal 2011, the RVIA forecasts calendar 2011 travel trailer and fifth wheel sales of approximately 203,000 units; a 4 percent increase from calendar 2010’s estimated total of approximately 195,000 units. Despite this favorable trend, business conditions for calendar 2011 could be negatively impacted by adverse factors previously referenced by the RVIA.
With a healthy position in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills, no bank debt, and experienced employees, the Corporation is prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

The benefit from federal income taxes 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 benefit for federal and state income tax is the result of pretax losses that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The Corporation recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at May 31, 2010 and, as a result, reflects no income tax benefit during the current period, as any benefit is directly offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

The benefit from federal income taxes 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 benefit for federal and state income tax is the result of pretax losses that occurred in the first half of fiscal 2010. The Corporation recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at May 31, 2010 and, as a result, reflects no income tax benefit during the current period, as any benefit is directly offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

The Corporation’s policy is to invest its excess cash, which exceeds its operating needs, in U.S. Government Securities. Cash and U.S. Treasury Bills decreased due primarily to a net loss of $13,821,000 and dividends paid of $3,021,000. Current assets, exclusive of cash and U.S. Treasury Bills, decreased primarily due to a $3,648,000 decrease in accounts receivable, and a $1,346,000 decrease in other current assets. Accounts receivable decreased due to lower sales at November 30, 2010 as compared to May 31, 2010. Other current assets decreased as a result of a $1,200,000 partial refund of a workers’ compensation liability deposit.
Current liabilities changed as a result of a $1,183,000 decreased in accounts payable, and a $1,126,000 increase in accrued marketing programs. Accounts payable decreased due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation’s production. Accrued marketing programs increased due to accruals for an ongoing marketing program for the Corporation’s manufactured housing dealers. Accruals are made monthly, and the majority of payments due to dealers are paid during the Corporation’s fourth fiscal quarter.
Capital expenditures totaled $306,000 for the first half of fiscal 2011 as compared to $395,000 for the first half of fiscal 2010. Capital expenditures were made primarily to replace or refurbish machinery and equipment in addition to improving manufacturing efficiencies. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Corporation began a project to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The project is expected to last until the end of fiscal 2012, and the cost is to be paid out of the Corporation’s normal budget for capital expenditures. The amount of capital expended for this project through November 30, 2010 is approximately $881,000. The amount of capital expended in the first half of fiscal 2011 was approximately $20,000, while the amount expended in the first half of fiscal 2010 was approximately $275,000. The goal of the ERP system is to obtain better decision-making information, to react quicker to changes in market conditions, and lower the Corporation’s technology costs.
The Corporation’s current cash and other short-term investments are 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 with a combination of cash on hand and funds generated internally.

The effect on newly issued account standards is addressed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of Inflation
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. On a long-term basis, the Corporation has demonstrated an ability to adjust selling prices in reaction to changing costs due to inflation.

| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
