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.
