SKYLINE REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF

          For the first half of fiscal 2007, net earnings were $2,521,000 compared to $6,849,000 for a year ago. Net earnings per share for the first half of fiscal 2007 were $.30 versus $0.82 for the first half of fiscal 2006. Net earnings per share for the first half of fiscal 2006 included a gain on the sale of vacant land of $0.03.

          Sales for Skyline’s fiscal 2007 second quarter were $94,786,000 compared to $136,487,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, sales were $210,592,000 versus $254,833,000 for fiscal 2006.

          For Skyline’s manufactured housing group, sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $72,618,000 compared to $103,371,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, sales by the manufactured housing group were $157,101,000 versus the $195,807,000 recorded for the first six months of fiscal 2006.

          For the recreational vehicle (RV) group, sales amounted to $22,168,000 for fiscal 2007’s second quarter compared to $33,116,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, sales by the RV group were $53,491,000 versus $59,026,000 for the same period a year ago.

          As Skyline begins its third quarter, historically the slowest period in its fiscal year, the corporation continues to maintain its traditionally strong balance sheet with no long-term debt and a healthy position in cash and temporary cash investments. This financial strength, along with a seasoned management team, should help the corporation meet the challenges ahead.
