Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000 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, 2001, the consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000, and the consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000. 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. 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. At February 28, 2001 total inventories consisted of raw materials, $4,146,000, work in process, $4,742,000, and finished goods, $111,000. At May 31, 2000 total inventories consisted of raw materials, $4,772,000, work in process, $4,771,000 and finished goods, $264,000. The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at February 28, 2001 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. In December 1999, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." It states the SEC's position in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues. SAB 101 is effective no later than the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. The Corporation believes that adoption of this bulletin will not result in any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. During the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2001, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force (FASB EITF) 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. " As required by this new EITF, freight billed to customers is considered sales revenue and the related freight costs as a cost of sales. Net freight costs have historically been classified as a selling expense. During this same period, the Corporation adopted the new FASB EITF 00-22, "Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers...". Volume based rebates are now required to be classified as a reduction in sales revenue. The Corporation previously classified these expenditures as a selling expense. Both accounting standards had no impact on net income or earnings per share. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

Report of Independent Accountants March 14, 2001 To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Skyline Corporation We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies as of February 28, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated June 15, 2000 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2000, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP Chicago, Illinois Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations for the Current Quarter Compared to the Same Quarter Last Year Sales in the quarter ended February 28, 2001 were $90,838,000, a decrease of $26,482,000 from $117,320,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Fiscal 2001 sales through February 28 were $343,897,000, a $94,640,000 decrease from prior year's sales of $438,537,000. Manufactured housing sales for the third quarter totaled $66,894,000 compared to $89,515,000 at February 29, 2000. Manufactured housing unit sales decreased from 2,717 to 2,006. This business segment's fiscal year sales through February 28 were $267,474,000 versus $343,496,000 while unit sales declined from 10,504 to 8,089. Sales were negatively affected by difficult market conditions, high inventories at the retail level and a restrictive retail financing environment. These conditions emerged in early fiscal 2000. Third quarter recreational vehicle sales decreased from $27,805,000 in fiscal 2000 to $23,944,000 in fiscal 2001. Recreational vehicle unit sales decreased from 2,073 to 1,756. Fiscal year sales for this business segment through February 28 were $76,423,000 versus $95,041,000 in the prior year. Unit sales decreased from 7,085 to 5,691. The decrease in this segment's sales is primarily due to declining demand for fifth wheels and travel trailers as a result of difficult market conditions. Cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were 89.4 percent of sales compared to 88.7 percent in fiscal 2000. Cost of sales for fiscal 2001 and 2000 were both 87.5 percent. Quarterly selling and administrative expenses increased from 11.3 percent in fiscal 2000 to 13.1 percent in fiscal 2001. Fiscal selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 9.5 percent to 11.3 percent. The increase is primarily due to a larger proportion of fixed and semi-fixed costs resulting from lower sales volume. Third quarter operating loss as a percentage of sales for manufactured housing was .7 percent in fiscal 2001 versus operating earnings of 1.0 percent in the prior year. Year to date operating earnings were 3.0 percent in fiscal 2001 versus prior year's 3.9 percent. Recreational vehicle quarterly operating earnings as a percentage of sales decreased from .6 percent in fiscal year 2000 to a loss of 3.8 percent. Fiscal year operating earnings through February 28 decreased from 2.9 percent to a loss of .9 percent. Both segments were affected by decreased sales volume. Interest income amounted to $2,020,000 for the third quarter compared to prior year's $1,667,000. Interest income is directly related to the amount available for investment and the prevailing yields of U.S. Government securities. Liquidity and Capital Resources At February 28, 2001 cash and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $117,205,000 an increase of $8,267,000 from $108,938,000 at May 31, 2000. Current assets exclusive of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $69,506,000 at February 28 2001, an increase of $16,008,000 from May 31, 2000 balance of $53,498,000. The increase was primarily due to the current classification of investment in U.S. Treasury Notes ($25,022,000), coupled with seasonal decreases in Accounts Receivable ($7,278,000) and Inventories ($808,000). Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Current liabilities increased $1,470,000 from $39,035,000 at May 31, 2000 to $40,505,000 at February 28, 2001. The net decrease is due to various factors. Decreases occurred in trade accounts payable ($476,000) and accrued salaries and wages ($381,000) due to the seasonality of the Corporation's business and declining sales volume. Accrued profit sharing decreased $614,000 because the February 28, 2001 balance reflects nine months of estimated liability versus a twelve month estimate at May 31, 2000. Likewise, other accrued liabilities declined $776,000 primarily due to accrued holiday pay having nine months of estimated liability at February 28 versus a twelve month estimate at May 31. Income taxes decreased from $1,559,000 to $264,000 at February 28. The May 31 balance represents a liability for state and federal income taxes for fiscal year 2000 that is in excess of estimated payments. The February 28 balance is the estimated liability for fiscal year 2001 in excess of estimated payments. Accrued marketing programs increased $4,548,000 due to an ongoing marketing program for manufactured housing dealers which has historically been paid in the fourth quarter. Working capital at February 28, 2001 amounted to $146,206,000 compared to $123,401,000 at May 31, 2000. Capital expenditures totaled $1,822,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to $3,725,000 in the previous year. Capital expenditures during the first nine months were made primarily to replace or refurbish machinery and equipment, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. Cash was also used to purchase $5,974,000 of the Corporation's stock. 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. 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. Forward Looking Information Certain statements in this report are considered forward looking as indicated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve uncertainties that may cause actual results to materially differ from expectations as of the report date. These uncertainties include but are not limited to general economic conditions, interest rate levels, consumer confidence, market demographics, competitive pressures, and the success of implementing administrative strategies.
