Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the three-month period ended August 31, 2001 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 August 31, 2001, the consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2001 and 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 August 31, 2001, total inventories consisted of raw materials, $4,000,000, work in process, $5,283,000, and finished goods, $236,000. At May 31, 2001, total inventories consisted of raw materials, $3,891,000, work in process, $5,098,000 and finished goods, $37,000. The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at August 31, 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.

Report of Independent Accountants September 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 August 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings for each of the three-month periods ended August 31, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2001 and 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 inquires 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, 2001, 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, 2001 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, 2001, 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 August 31, 2001 were $122,225,000, a decrease of $9,927,000 from $132,152,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Manufactured housing sales totaled $90,947,000 compared to $102,119,000. Manufactured housing unit sales decreased from 3,105 to 2,677. First quarter recreational vehicle sales increased from $30,033,000 in fiscal 2001 to $31,278,000 in fiscal 2002. Recreational vehicle unit sales increased from 2,262 to 2,326. Sales continued to be affected by difficult market conditions in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries and by a slowdown in the U.S. economy. Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was 85.9 percent of sales compared to 87.2 percent in fiscal 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to a shift in product mix toward multi-section homes. Quarterly selling and administrative expenses increased from 10.3 percent in fiscal 2001 to 10.5 in fiscal 2002. The increase is primarily due to a larger proportion of fixed and semi-fixed costs resulting from lower sales volume. Operating earnings as a percentage of sales for manufactured housing were 5.7 percent in fiscal 2002 and 3.7 percent in fiscal 2001. Operating earnings as a percentage of sales for recreational vehicles decreased from 2.1 percent to 1.8 percent. Earnings for manufactured housing improved due to a product mix shift from single-section homes toward multi-section homes. Earnings for recreational vehicles declined as a result of continued difficult market conditions and increased material costs. Interest income amounted to $1,481,000 compared to $1,928,000. 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 August 31, 2001, cash and short-term investments in U. S. Treasury Bills totaled $144,182,000, an increase of $27,767,000 from $116,415,000 at May 31, 2001. Current assets exclusive of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $48,054,000 at August 31, 2001, a decrease of $25,037,000 from the May 31, 2001 balance of $73,091,000. The decrease was due to the maturity of investments in U. S. Treasury Notes. Current liabilities increased $1,074,000 from $39,915,000 at May 31, 2001 to $40,989,000 at August 31, 2001. Various factors contributed to the increase. Accrued marketing programs increased $3,375,000 due to the timing of payments for an ongoing marketing program. Accrued profit sharing decreased $1,695,000 primarily due to the timing of a yearly contribution to the Corporation's profit sharing plan. Accrued salaries and wages decreased $1,497,000 as a result of the timing of paying employees at August 31 versus May 31. 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 (continued) Working capital at August 31, 2001 amounted to $151,247,000 compared to $149,591,000 at May 31, 2001. Capital expenditures totaled $1,287,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $378,000 in the previous year. Capital expenditures during the first three months were made primarily to increase manufacturing capacity, replace or refurbish machinery and equipment, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. 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.
