Other Events ELKHART, INDIANA --- MARCH 20, 2003 SKYLINE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS RESULTS 	Sales for the third quarter of Skyline Corporation's 2003 fiscal year were $87,709,000 compared to $96,080,000 last year. Net loss for the three month period was $827,000, equal to $0.10 per share compared to net income of $869,000, equal to $0.l0 per share for the same period a year ago. 	Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were $316,668,000 compared to $336,359,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 net earnings were $2,946,000, or $0.35 per share compared to $8,l80,000, or $0.97 per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. 	Sales of Skyline's manufactured housing group for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were $62,355,000, down from the $74,3l7,000 of a year ago. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, sales by the manufactured housing group were $222,061,000, a decrease from the $261,424,000 recorded for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. Manufactured housing sales continued to be affected by difficult market conditions, restrictive retail financing, and the U.S. economy. 	For the recreational vehicle (RV) group, sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were $25,354,000, up from the $21,763,000 of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 sales by the RV group were $94,607,000, an increase from the $74,935,000 of the same period a year ago. The increase in RV sales for the nine months is a reflection of an industry-wide improvement in market conditions for towable recreational vehicles that began in early calendar year 2002. 	As we begin the fourth quarter, the difficult market conditions, along with economic uncertainty and increased global tension, continue to have an impact. Skyline has maintained 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 management team seasoned by prior experiences with industry downturns, should help the company meet the challenges ahead. 			************** SKYLINE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS (Dollars in thousands except per share) 	 Three Months Ended	 Nine Months Ended 	 February 28, February 28, 	 (Unaudited) 	 (Unaudited) 			 2003	 2002		 2003 2002 Sales			 $ 87,709 $ 96,080		$ 316,668 $ 336,359 (Loss) earnings before income taxes	 (1,347) 1,461	 4,928 13,506 (Benefit) provision for income taxes	 (520) 592	 1,982 5,326 Net (loss) earnings	 $ (827) $ 869		$ 2,946 $ 8,180 Basic (loss) earnings per share	 $ ( .10) $ .10	 $ .35 $ .97 Weighted average common shares outstanding 8,391,244 8,391,244	 8,391,244 8,391,244 SKYLINE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (Dollars in thousands)		 	 February 28, (Unaudited) ASSETS					 2003 	 2002 Cash and temporary cash investments	 $ 152,504 $ 152,402 Accounts receivable			 23,237 25,622 Inventories				 9,514 9,519 Other current assets			 8,635 8,226 Total Current Assets		 193,890 195,769 Property, Plant and Equipment, net	 39,883	 42,059 Other Assets				 4,653 4,303 					 $ 238,426 $ 242,131 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Accounts payable, trade			 $ 4,736 $ 5,472 Accrued liabilities			 32,916 36,901 Income taxes payable			 - 203 Total Current Liabilities		 37,652 42,576 Other Deferred Liabilities		 4,126 3,886 Common stock				 312 312 Additional paid-in capital		 4,928 4,928 Retained earnings			 257,152 256,173 Treasury stock, at cost, 2,825,900 shares in 2003 and 2002	 (65,744) (65,744) Total Shareholders' Equity		 196,648 195,669 					 $ 238,426 $ 242,131
