PART I
Item 1. | Business. |
General
Development of Business
Skyline Corporation was originally incorporated in Indiana in
1959, as successor to a business founded in 1951. Skyline
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
Corporation) design, produce and distribute
manufactured housing (single section homes, multi-section homes
and modular homes) and towable recreational vehicles (travel
trailers, fifth wheels and park models).
The Corporation, which is one of the largest producers of
manufactured homes in the United States, sold 4,608 manufactured
homes in fiscal year 2008.
The Corporations manufactured homes are marketed under a
number of trademarks. They are available in lengths ranging from
30 to 76 and in singlewide widths from 12 to
18, doublewide widths from 18 to 32,
triplewide widths from 30 to 46, and quadruple
widths from 56 to 60. The area of a singlewide
ranges from approximately 400 to 1,200 square feet, a
doublewide from approximately 700 to 2,400 square feet, a
triplewide from approximately 1,600 to 2,900 square feet,
and a quadruple at approximately 1,600 square feet.
The Corporation also sold 5,797 recreational vehicles in fiscal
2008, which are sold under a number of trademarks for travel
trailers, fifth wheels and park models.
Financial
Information about Segments
Sales, operating results and total assets for the manufactured
housing and recreational vehicle segments are included in
Note 5, Industry Segment Information, in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document
under Item 8.
Narrative
Description of Business
Principal
Products and Markets
The Corporation designs, produces and distributes manufactured
housing and towable recreational vehicles. Popular floor plans,
virtual product tours and virtual factory tours are available at
the Corporations internet website,
http://www.skylinecorp.com.
The principal markets for manufactured homes are the suburban
and rural areas of the continental United States. The
principal buyers continue to be individuals over the age of
fifty, but the market tends to broaden when conventional housing
becomes more difficult to purchase and finance.
The recreational vehicle market is made up of primarily
vacationing families, retired couples traveling around the
country and sports enthusiasts pursuing four-season hobbies.
The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its
manufactured homes with a full fifteen-month warranty against
defects in design, materials and workmanship. Recreational
vehicles are covered by a one-year warranty. The warranties are
backed by service departments located at the Corporations
manufacturing facilities and an extensive field service system.
The amount and percentage of sales contributed by the
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle segments is noted
in Item 7.
Method
of Distribution
The Corporations manufactured homes are distributed by
approximately 290 independent dealers at 600 locations
throughout the United States, and recreational vehicles are
distributed by approximately 190 independent dealers at 270
locations throughout the United States. These are generally not
exclusive dealerships and it is believed that most dealers also
sell products of other manufacturers.

Table of Contents
Item 1. | Business (Continued). |
The Corporations products are sold to dealers either
through floor plan financing with various financial institutions
or on a cash basis. Payments to the Corporation are made either
directly by the dealer or by financial institutions, which have
agreed to finance dealer purchases of the Corporations
products. In accordance with industry practice, certain
financial institutions which finance dealer purchases require
the Corporation to execute repurchase agreements in which the
Corporation agrees, that in the event a dealer defaults on its
repayment of the financing, the Corporation will repurchase its
products from the financing institution in accordance with a
declining repurchase price schedule established by the
Corporation. Any loss under these agreements is the difference
between the repurchase cost and the resale value of the units
repurchased. Further, the risk of loss is spread over numerous
dealers. There have been no material losses related to
repurchases in past years. Additional information regarding
these repurchase agreements is included in Note 2,
Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this document under Item 8.
Raw
Materials and Supplies
The Corporation is basically an assembler of components
purchased from outside sources. The major components used by the
Corporation are lumber, plywood, shingles, vinyl and wood
siding, steel, aluminum, insulation, home appliances, furnaces,
plumbing fixtures, hardware, floor coverings and furniture. The
suppliers are many and range in size from large national
companies to very small local companies. At the present time the
Corporation is obtaining sufficient materials to fulfill its
needs.
Patents,
Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
The Corporation does not rely upon any terminable or
nonrenewable rights such as patents, licenses or franchises
under the trademarks or patents of others, in the conduct of any
segment of its business.
Seasonal
Fluctuations
While the Corporation maintains production of manufactured homes
and recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal
fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of
manufactured homes are affected by winter weather conditions at
the Corporations northern plants. Recreational vehicle
sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than
in the fall and winter months.
Inventory
The Corporation does not maintain significant inventories of
either raw materials or finished goods. In addition, there are
no inventories sold on consignment.
Dependence
Upon Individual Customers
The Corporation does not rely upon any single dealer for a
significant percentage of its business in any industry segment.
Backlog
The Corporation does not consider the existence and extent of
backlog to be significant in its business. The
Corporations production is based on a relatively short
manufacturing cycle and dealers orders, which continuously
fluctuate. As such, the existence of backlog is not significant
at any given date and does not typically provide a reliable
indication of the status of the Corporations business.
Government
Contracts
The Corporation has had no government contracts during the past
three years.
Competitive
Conditions
The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries are
highly competitive, with particular emphasis on price and
features offered. The Corporations competitors within its
respective industries are numerous, ranging
3
Table of Contents
Item 1. | Business (Continued). |
from multi-billion dollar corporations to relatively small and
specialized manufacturers. In addition, the manufactured housing
segment also competes with companies that provide other forms of
housing, such as new and existing site-built homes, apartments,
condominiums and townhouses.
The manufactured housing industry shipped approximately 96,000
homes in calendar year 2007. In the same period, the Corporation
shipped 5,140 homes for a 5.4 percent market share. In
calendar year 2006, approximately 118,000 homes were shipped by
the industry. In that period, the Corporation shipped 6,938
homes for a 5.9 percent market share.
Regarding the recreational vehicle industry, the following
tables show the Corporations competitive position in the
recreational vehicle product lines it sells.

The competitive position for Park Models is not listed because
industry data based on the Corporations fiscal 2008 is not
available.
Both the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle segments
of the Corporations business are dependent upon the
availability of financing to dealers and retail financing.
Consequently, increases in interest rates
and/or
tightening of credit through governmental action or otherwise
have adversely affected the Corporations business in the
past and may do so in the future.
The Corporation considers it impossible to predict the future
occurrence, duration or severity of cost or availability
problems in financing either manufactured homes or recreational
vehicles. To the extent that they occur, such public concerns
will affect sales of the Corporations products.
Regulation
The manufacture, distribution and sale of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles are subject to government regulations in
both the United States and Canada, at federal, state or
provincial and local levels.
Environmental
Quality
The Corporation believes that compliance with federal, state and
local requirements with respect to environmental quality will
not require any material capital expenditures for plant or
equipment modifications which would adversely affect earnings.
Other
Regulations
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has set national manufactured home construction and safety
standards and implemented recall and other regulations since
1976. The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety
Standards Act of 1974, as amended, under which such standards
and regulations are promulgated, prohibits states from
establishing or continuing in effect any manufactured home
standard that is not identical to the federal standards as to
any covered aspect of performance. Implementation of
4
Table of Contents
Item 1. | Business (Continued). |
these standards and regulations involves inspection agency
approval of manufactured home designs, plant and home inspection
by states or other HUD-approved third parties, manufacturer
certification that the standards are met, and possible recalls
if they are not or if homes contain safety hazards.
HUD has promulgated rules requiring producers of manufactured
homes to utilize wood products certified by their suppliers to
meet HUDs established limits on formaldehyde emissions,
and to place in each home written notice to prospective
purchasers of possible adverse reaction from airborne
formaldehyde in the homes. These rules are designated as
preemptive of state regulation.
Some components of manufactured homes may also be subject to
Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and recall
requirements. In addition, the Corporation has voluntarily
subjected itself to third party inspection of all of its
recreational vehicle products nationwide in order to further
assure the Corporation, its dealers, and customers of compliance
with established standards.
Manufactured homes and recreational vehicles may be subject to
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission
Improvement Act, which regulates warranties on consumer products.
The Corporations travel trailers continue to be subject to
safety standards and recall and other regulations promulgated by
the U.S. Department of Transportation under the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the
Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and
Documentation (TREAD) Act, as well as state laws and regulations.
The Corporations operations are subject to the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act, and are routinely inspected
thereunder.
The transportation and placement (in the case of manufactured
homes) of the Corporations products are subject to state
highway use regulations and local ordinances which control the
size of units that may be transported, the roads to be used,
speed limits, hours of travel, and allowable locations for
manufactured homes and communities.
The Corporation is also subject to many state manufacturer
licensing and bonding requirements, and to dealer day in court
requirements in some states.
The Corporation believes that it is currently in compliance with
the above regulations.

Table of Contents
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
Investors or potential investors should carefully consider the
risks described below. Additional risks of which the Corporation
is presently unaware or that the Corporation considers
immaterial may also impair business operations and hinder
financial performance.
Retail
Financing Availability
Customers who purchase the Corporations manufactured homes
generally obtain retail financing from third party lenders. The
availability, terms and cost of retail financing depend on the
lending practices of financial institutions, governmental
policies and economic and other conditions, all of which are
beyond the Corporations control. A customer seeking to
purchase a manufactured home without land will generally pay a
higher interest rate and have a shorter loan maturity versus a
customer financing the purchase of land and a home. This
difference is due to most states classifying home-only
manufactured housing loans as personal property rather than real
property for purposes of taxation and lien perfection.
In recent years many lenders of home-only financing have
tightened credit underwriting standards, with some deciding to
exit the industry. These actions resulted in decreased
availability of retail financing, causing a negative effect on
sales and operating results. If retail financing were to be
further curtailed, sales, operating results and cash flows could
be adversely affected.
Wholesale
Financing Availability
Independent dealers of the Corporations products generally
finance their inventory purchases with wholesale floor plan
financing provided by lending institutions. A dealers
ability to obtain financing is significantly affected by the
number of lending institutions offering floor planning, and by
an institutions lending limits. In recent years the
manufactured housing industry experienced a reduction in both
the number of lenders offering floor planning, and the amount of
money available for financing. These events could have a
negative impact on a dealers ability to purchase
manufactured housing products, resulting in lower sales,
operating results and cash flows.
Dependence
on Independent Dealers
The Corporation sells its manufactured homes and recreational
vehicles to independent dealers. These dealers are not obligated
to exclusively sell the Corporations products, and may
choose to sell competitors products. In addition, a dealer
may become financially insolvent and be forced to close its
business. Both scenarios could have an adverse effect on sales,
operating results and cash flows.
Dealer
Inventories
As wholesale shipments of manufactured homes and recreational
vehicles within each respective industry exceed retail sales,
dealer inventories increase to a level where dealers decrease
orders from manufacturers. As manufacturers respond to reduced
demand, many either offer discounts to maintain production
volumes or curtail production levels. Both outcomes could have a
negative impact on sales, operating results and cash flows.
Contingent
Repurchase Agreements
As referenced in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8, the Corporation is
contingently liable under repurchase agreements with certain
financial institutions providing inventory financing for
retailers of its products. The Corporation could be required to
fulfill some or all of the repurchase agreements, resulting in
increased expense and reduced cash flows.
Cost and
Availability of Raw Materials
Prices and availability of raw materials used to manufacture the
Corporations products can change significantly due to
fluctuations in supply and demand. In addition, the cost of raw
materials is also influenced by increased transportation costs.
The Corporation has historically been able to have an adequate
supply of raw materials by maintaining good relations with its
vendors. Increased prices have historically been passed on to
dealers by raising the price of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles. There is no certainty that the
Corporation will be able to pass on future price increases and
maintain an adequate supply of raw materials. The
6
Table of Contents
Item 1A. | Risk Factors (Continued). |
inability to raise the price of its products and to maintain a
proper supply of materials could have a negative impact on
sales, operating results and cash flows.
Competition
As noted in Item 1, the manufactured housing and
recreational vehicle industries are highly competitive with
particular emphasis on price and features offered. Some of the
Corporations competitors are vertically integrated by
owning retail, consumer finance and insurance operations. This
integration may provide competitors with an advantage. In
addition, the Corporations manufactured homes compete with
other forms of housing, such as new and existing site-built
homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses. The inability to
effectively compete in this environment could result in lower
sales, operating results and cash flows.
Cyclical
and Seasonal Nature of Business
The industries in which the Corporation operates are highly
cyclical, and are impacted by the following conditions:
| Consumer confidence | |
| Interest rates | |
| Demographic and employment trends | |
| Availability of used or repossessed homes or recreational vehicles | |
| Impact of inflation | |
| Increased global tensions. |
The recreational vehicle industry is currently experiencing
declining sales primarily as the result of increasing fuel
prices and decreasing consumer confidence. The manufactured
housing industry is experiencing a protracted period of
weakening sales influenced primarily by restrictive retail
financing and a recession in the site-built housing market.
Ongoing weakness in both industries could have an adverse effect
in demand for the Corporations products.
Sales in both industries are also seasonal in nature with sales
being weakest in the winter months. Seasonal changes, in
addition to continued weakness in demand in one or both of the
Corporations market segments, could materially impact the
Corporations sales, operating results and cash flows.
Changing
Consumer Preferences
Changes in consumer preferences for manufactured housing and
recreational vehicles occur over time, and consequently the
Corporation responds to changing demand by evaluating the market
acceptability of its products. Delays in responding to changing
consumer preferences could have an adverse effect on sales,
operating results and cash flows.
Increased
Fuel Prices
The Corporations recreational vehicle products depend on
the use of vehicles that operate on gasoline or diesel fuel. In
the Corporations history there have been periods where the
price of gasoline and diesel fuel dramatically increased. These
increases resulted in greater cost associated with recreational
vehicle travel. This trend is presently occurring, and could
result in decreased sales, operating results and cash flows.
Governmental
Regulations
As noted in Item 1, the Corporation is subject to various
governmental regulations. Implementation of new regulations or
amendments to existing regulations could significantly increase
the cost of the Corporations products. In addition,
failure to comply with present or future regulations could
result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both
scenarios could negatively impact sales, operating results and
cash flows.
Dependence
on Executive Officers and Other Key Personnel
The Corporation depends on the efforts of its executive officers
and certain key employees. The loss of the service of one or
more of these individuals could have an adverse effect on the
sales, operating results and cash flows of the Corporation.

The above facilities range in size from approximately
50,000 square feet to approximately 160,000 square
feet. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Corporation sold
an idle manufactured housing facility located in Goshen,
Indiana. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $670,000. In
light of the declining market, a manufactured housing facility
in Ocala, Florida was consolidated into two existing
manufactured housing facilities located in the same city. The
consolidation also occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Corporation announced
the closure of a manufactured housing facility in Bossier City,
Louisiana, and a recreational vehicle facility in McMinnville,
Oregon. The closures were in response to the declining market.
Operations ceased for both facilities in June 2008. Bossier
Citys market is now being serviced by the
Corporations Kansas facilities. Likewise,
McMinnvilles market is now being serviced by the
Corporations California recreational vehicle facilities.
It is extremely difficult to determine the unit productive
capacity of the Corporation because of the ever-changing product
mix.
The Corporation believes that its plant facilities, machinery
and equipment are well maintained and are in good operating
condition.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings. |
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 Corporations results of operations
or financial position.
Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.

Overview
The Corporation designs, produces and distributes manufactured
housing (single-section, multi-section and modular homes) and
towable recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth wheels and
park models) to independent dealers and manufactured housing
communities located throughout the United States (U.S.). To
better serve the needs of its dealers and communities, the
Corporation has eighteen manufacturing facilities in ten states.
Manufactured housing and recreational vehicles are sold to
dealers and communities either through floor plan financing with
various financial institutions or on a cash basis. While the
Corporation maintains production of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations
in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured homes
are affected by winter weather conditions at the
Corporations northern plants. Recreational vehicle sales
are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the
fall and winter months.
Sales in both business segments are affected by the strength of
the U.S. economy, interest rate levels, consumer confidence
and the availability of wholesale and retail financing. The
manufactured housing segment is currently affected by a
protracted downturn. This downturn, caused primarily by
restrictive retail financing and economic uncertainty, resulted
in calendar 2007 industry sales of approximately
96,000 units, the lowest since 1961. Manufactured housing
sales are also negatively impacted by a recession in the
site-built housing industry. For example, a potential buyer of a
manufactured home may be prevented from purchasing due to an
inability to sell his or her existing home. Likewise, a
potential buyer of a manufactured home may be attracted to
declining prices of both new and existing site-built homes.
Throughout 2007, the site-built industry experienced declines in
existing home sales, housing starts and home prices, and was
negatively impacted by dislocations in the subprime mortgage
market. In addition, the number of homes in foreclosure
increased.

Overview
(Continued)
In fiscal 2008, the Corporations manufactured housing
sales declined consistent with the experience of the industry as
a whole. Within this segments sales, demand remains
stronger for multi-section versus single-section homes.
Multi-section homes are often sold as part of a land-home
package and are financed with a conventional mortgage. These
homes have an appearance similar to site-built homes and are
usually less expensive. The Corporation has eleven manufactured
housing facilities that have obtained approval from applicable
state and local governmental entities to produce modular homes,
which will help meet the demand for multi-section homes.
In the recreational vehicle segment, the Corporation sells
travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models. Sales of
recreational vehicles are influenced by changes in consumer
confidence and gasoline prices. Industry sales of travel
trailers, fifth wheels and park models declined from
approximately 291,000 units in calendar 2006 to
approximately 268,000 units in calendar 2007. During this
same period, the price of gasoline rose and consumer confidence
fell. For the Corporations first two quarters of fiscal
2008, the recreational vehicle segment also experienced
declining sales. In the last two quarters, however, sales
increased as well as market share for travel trailers and fifth
wheels.
In light of the declining market, a manufactured housing
facility in Ocala, Florida was consolidated into two existing
manufactured housing facilities located in the same city. The
consolidation occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
The Corporation announced in the fourth quarter the closure of a
recreational vehicle facility in McMinnville, Oregon, and a
manufacturing housing facility in Bossier City, Louisiana. Both
facilities ceased operations in June 2008. Bossier Citys
market is now being serviced by the Corporations Kansas
facilities. Likewise, McMinnvilles market is now being
serviced by the Corporations California recreational
vehicle facilities.
In the recreational vehicle segment, an existing facility in
Hemet, California was renovated to solely produce recreational
vehicles with fiberglass bonded wall construction. The exclusive
production of this product occurred in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008.
The Corporation is working to reduce expenses, communicating
with dealers and communities to take advantage of sales
opportunities, and positioning its products to be competitive in
the marketplace. With a healthy position in cash and
U.S. Treasury Bills, no debt and experienced employees, the
Corporation is prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

Results
of Operations Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal
2007 (Continued)
Recreational vehicle sales were negatively impacted in the first
half of fiscal 2008 by an increase in demand for product with
fiberglass bonded wall construction, and by metal-sided models
being priced higher relative to products of other recreational
vehicle manufacturers. As a result, sales for this period were
$42,881,000 as compared to $53,491,000 for the first half of
fiscal 2007.
The Corporation worked throughout fiscal 2008 to address these
issues. An existing recreational vehicle facility in Hemet,
California was renovated to exclusively produce models with
fiberglass bonded wall construction. Production of these units
occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. This facility is
in addition to the Elkhart, Indiana facility that opened in the
third quarter of fiscal 2007 to solely produce fiberglass bonded
models. Regarding metal-sided product, changes were made to make
it more competitively priced, and to better meet consumer
tastes. These combined actions resulted in sales of $44,090,000
in the last half of fiscal 2008 as compared to $39,599,000 in
the last half of fiscal 2007. In addition, the market share for
travel trailers and fifth wheels increased from 2 percent
in the last half of fiscal 2007 to 2.3 percent in last half
of fiscal 2008.

Manufactured housing cost of sales decreased due to less sales
volume and the variable nature of many of the direct
manufacturing costs. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales
increased as a result of certain manufacturing overhead costs
remaining relatively constant despite lower sales. In addition,
this segment incurred a one-time cost of approximately $400,000
associated with the consolidation of the Ocala, Florida facility
and the closure of the Bossier City, Louisiana facility.
Recreational vehicle cost of sales decreased due to less sales
volume and the variable nature of many of direct manufacturing
costs. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased due to
the introduction of various option packages. These packages,
designed to meet competition in the marketplace, are
aggressively priced relative to option packages sold in the
previous year. Certain manufacturing overhead costs also
remained relatively constant despite lower sales. This segment
includes a one-time cost of approximately $400,000 associated
with the closure of the McMinnville, Oregon facility. In
addition, non-recurring costs of approximately $170,000 were
incurred in the conversion of the Hemet, California facility. In
fiscal year 2007, the Corporation incurred approximately
$300,000 in one-time costs associated with the opening of the
Elkhart, Indiana facility dedicated to producing fiberglass
bonded product.

The operating loss for manufactured housing was primarily due to
the impact of decreased sales on the components of earnings as
noted above. This segment was also negatively affected by the
cost of consolidating and closing two facilities, and
single-section unit sales increasing from 23 percent in
fiscal 2007 to 26 percent in fiscal 2008. Single-section
homes have lower margins as compared to multi-section homes.
The operating loss for recreational vehicles increased primarily
due to the impact of decreased sales on the components of
earnings as noted above. In addition, the operating loss was
negatively impacted by this segment receiving a larger
proportion of certain operating expenses allocated to industry
segments based on a percentage of sales. Recreational vehicle
sales were approximately 29 percent in fiscal 2008 as
compared to 25 percent in fiscal 2007. The cost of closing
one facility and the renovation of another also had a negative
effect on operating results. Although the operating loss
increased from fiscal 2007 to 2008, the operating loss for the
last half of the current year was $3,641,000, which included
non-recurring costs of approximately $570,000, as compared to
$4,109,000 in the first half.
The decrease in general corporate expenses occurred primarily
due to a change in valuation of the Corporations liability
for retirement and death benefits offered to certain employees
as noted above.

Manufactured housing cost of sales decreased due to declining
sales volumes and the variable nature of many of the direct
manufacturing costs. As a percentage of sales, however, cost of
sales increased due to warranty costs and workers
compensation expenses declining at a slower rate than the
reduction in sales. In addition, certain manufacturing overhead
costs remained relatively constant despite lower sales.
Recreational vehicle cost of sales decreased due to declining
sales volumes and the variable nature of many of the direct

increased due to the positive impact of hurricane relief related
sales on gross margins in the prior year, as well as warranty
costs declining at a slower rate than the reduction in the
current years sales. In addition, certain manufacturing
overhead costs remained relatively constant despite lower sales.
As noted above, this business segment also experienced the
commencement of operations in the third fiscal quarter of a

The Corporations policy is to invest its excess cash,
which exceeds its operating needs, in U.S. Government
Securities. Cash and U.S. Treasury Bills decreased due to a
net loss of $5,556,000, and payment of approximately $6,041,000
in dividends. Current assets, exclusive of cash and
U.S. Treasury Bills, declined primarily due to a decrease
in accounts receivable of $4,516,000. This decrease is
attributed to lower sales in May 2008 as compared to May 2007.
Other current assets increased $2,853,000 primarily due to an
increase in the amount receivable for federal income taxes.
Current liabilities decreased primarily due to a decline in
accrued salaries and wages of $1,743,000, accounts payable of
$1,195,000 and accrued profit sharing of $1,684,000. Accrued
salaries and wages decreased due to the timing of payroll
payments at May 31, 2008 as compared to May 31, 2007.
In addition, the Corporations employee headcount was lower
at May 31, 2008 as compared to May 31, 2007. Accounts
payable, trade declined due to decreased sales activity. Accrued
profit sharing declined as a result of no contribution being
made to the Corporations two profit sharing plans based on
the financial results of fiscal 2008.
Capital expenditures totaled $2,092,000 for fiscal 2008 as
compared to $4,968,000 for fiscal 2007. Capital expenditures
were made primarily to replace or refurbish machinery and
equipment in addition to improving manufacturing efficiencies.
In addition, total proceeds from the sale of idle property,
plant and equipment totaled $2,676,000 for fiscal 2008.
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 Corporations
financing needs have been met through funds generated internally.

Additional information regarding the nature of the repurchase

of repurchased units. No losses on the sales of repurchased
units were incurred in fiscal 2007 or 2006.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the
Corporation to make certain estimates that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related
disclosures. Estimates are periodically evaluated using
historical experience and various other factors believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following accounting policies are considered to require a
significant estimate:
Product
Warranties
As referenced in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, manufactured homes are sold with a
fifteen-month warranty and recreational vehicles are sold with a
one-year warranty. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the
time of sale based upon sales, historical claims experience and
managements judgment regarding anticipated rates of
warranty claims. Significant changes in these factors could have
a material impact on future results of operations.
Workers
Compensation Insurance
The Corporation is partially insured for expenses associated
with workers compensation. Costs are accrued based on
managements estimates of future medical claims developed
by consulting actuaries at the carrier that insures the
Corporation. Accruals are made up to a specified limit per
individual injured and for an aggregate limit.
Health
Insurance
The Corporation utilizes a combination of insurance companies
and self-insurance in offering health insurance coverage to its
employees. Costs of claims incurred but not paid are accrued
based on past claims experience and relevant trend factors
provided by the insurance companies.
Newly
Issued Accounting Standards
The effect of newly issued accounting standards on the
Corporation is addressed in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other
Matters
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. On a long-term basis, the Corporation has
demonstrated an ability to adjust selling prices in reaction to
changing costs due to inflation. The Corporation believes that
inflation has not had a material effect on its operations during
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006.
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:
| Cyclical nature of the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries | |
| General or seasonal weather conditions affecting sales | |
| Potential impact of hurricanes and other natural disasters on sales and raw material costs | |
| Potential periodic inventory adjustments by independent retailers | |
| Availability of wholesale and retail financing | |
| Interest rate levels | |
| Impact of inflation | |
| Impact of rising fuel costs | |
| Cost of labor and raw materials | |
| Competitive pressures on pricing and promotional costs | |
| Catastrophic events impacting insurance costs | |
| The availability of insurance coverage for various risks to the Corporation | |
| Consumer confidence and economic uncertainty | |
| The health of the U.S. housing market as a whole | |
| Market demographics | |
| Managements ability to attract and retain executive officers and key personnel | |
| Increased global tensions, market disruption resulting from a terrorist or other attack and any armed conflict involving the United States. |
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
The Corporation invests in United States Government Securities.
These securities are typically held until maturity and are
therefore classified as held-to-maturity and carried at
amortized cost. Changes in interest rates do not have a
significant effect on the fair value of these investments.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Skyline
Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Skyline Corporation and subsidiary companies (the
Corporation) as of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained
earnings, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended May 31, 2008. We also have audited the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting as
of May 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Corporations management is responsible for these
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in this
Form 10-K
Item 9A as Managements Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of financial statements included examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Corporation as of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended May 31, 2008 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also in our opinion, the Corporation
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO).

NOTE 1 | Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements |
Nature of operations Skyline Corporation
designs, manufactures and distributes manufactured housing
(single section homes, multi-section homes and modular homes)
and towable recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth wheels
and park models) to independent dealers and manufactured housing
communities throughout the United States. These dealers and
communities often utilize floor plan financing arrangements with
lending institutions.
The following is a summary of the accounting policies that have
a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Skyline Corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Corporation).
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition Substantially all of the
Corporations products are made to order. Revenue is
recognized upon completion of the following: an order for a unit
is received from a dealer or community (customer); written or
verbal approval for payment is received from a customers
financing institution or payment is received; a common carrier
signs documentation accepting responsibility for the unit as
agent for the customer; and the unit is removed from the
Corporations premises for delivery to a customer.
Freight billed to customers is considered sales revenue, and the
related freight costs are cost of sales. Volume based rebates
paid to dealers are classified as a reduction of sales revenue.
Sales of parts are classified as revenue.
Consolidated statements of cash flows For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows,
investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes are included
as investing activities. The Corporations cash flows from
operating activities were increased by income taxes received of
$1,443,000 in fiscal 2008, and reduced by income taxes paid of
$3,466,000 and $8,973,000 in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Investments The Corporation invests in
United States Government Securities. These securities are
typically held until maturity and are therefore classified as
held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost.
The cost and accrued interest of U.S. Treasury Bills, which
approximates fair market value, totaled $101,022,000 and
$115,864,000 at May 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
fair market value is determined by a secondary market for
U.S. Treasury Securities. The Corporation does not have any
other financial instruments which have market values differing
from recorded values.
Accounts receivable Trade receivables are
based on the amounts billed to customers. The Corporation does
not accrue interest on any of its trade receivables.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the
first-in,
first-out method. Physical inventory counts are taken at the end
of each reporting quarter.

At May 31, 2008, Finished Goods inventory consisted of a
display home, in addition to manufactured homes and recreational
vehicles awaiting shipment at the end of the fiscal year.
Property, plant and equipment Property, plant
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over
the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line
method for financial statement reporting and accelerated methods
for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for significant
classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Building and improvements 10 to 30 years; machinery and
equipment 5 to 8 years.
Warranty The Corporation provides the retail
purchaser of its manufactured homes with a full fifteen-month
warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship.
Recreational vehicles are covered by a one-year warranty. The
warranties are backed by service departments located at the
Corporations manufacturing facilities and an extensive
field service system.
Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale based
upon current sales, historical experience and managements
judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims. The
adequacy of the recorded warranty liability is periodically
assessed and the amount is adjusted as necessary.
A reconciliation of accrued warranty and related expenses is as

The difference between the Corporations statutory federal
income tax rate (35 percent in 2008 and 2006, and
34 percent in 2007) and the effective income tax rate
is due primarily to state income taxes as follows:

State income tax benefits are primarily the result of the
exclusion, either in whole or in part, of interest income on
U.S. Government Securities from taxable income in certain
states. In addition, in fiscal 2007 the Corporation received
favorable rulings on certain state tax positions which resulted
in state refunds net of federal taxes of $144,000.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The valuation allowance relates to certain state tax
assets that the Corporation considers more likely than not to
not be realized due to a lack of projected taxable income in
certain states. There have been no changes in the judgments
regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets during the
periods presented. In fiscal 2008, the valuation allowance
increased approximately $256,000 due mainly to uncertainty of
realizing net operating loss carryforwards.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Corporation adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, (FIN No. 48). This Interpretation
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
The Corporation adopted FIN No. 48 with no material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at May 31, 2008 and
June 1, 2007 each totaled approximately $100,000. This
amount would increase operating income thus impacting the
Corporations effective tax rate, if ultimately recognized
in income.
For the majority of taxing jurisdictions the Corporation is no
longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years
before 2004. State income tax expense reflects minimum amounts
required by certain taxing jurisdictions in which the
Corporation operates.
The Corporation does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.
Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are
recognized in income tax expense. Accruals for interest and
penalties at May 31, 2008 were insignificant.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting
28
Table of Contents
Skyline
Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years.
On February 12, 2008, FASB issued Staff Position
No. 157-2,
which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The revised
effective date is for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of these
pronouncements on its results of operations or financial
position.
NOTE 2 | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Corporation was contingently liable at May 31, 2008,
under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions
providing inventory financing for retailers of its products.
Under these arrangements, which are customary in the
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries, the
Corporation agrees to repurchase units in the event of default
by the retailer at declining prices over the term of the
agreement, generally 12 months.
The maximum repurchase liability is the total amount that would
be paid upon the default of the Corporations independent
dealers. The maximum potential repurchase liability, without
reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was
approximately $70 million at May 31, 2008 and
$89 million at May 31, 2007.
The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over many
retailers and financial institutions. The loss, if any, under
these agreements is the difference between the repurchase cost
and the resale value of the units.
The Corporation believes that any potential loss under the
agreements in effect at May 31, 2008 will not be material
to its financial position or results of operations.
The amounts of obligations from repurchased units and incurred
net losses for the periods presented are as follows:

The Corporation leases office and manufacturing equipment under
operating lease agreements. Leases generally provide that the
Corporation pays the cost of insurance, taxes and maintenance.
Lease expense for fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 was
approximately $1,000,000 fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 was
approximately $1,100,000 while lease expense for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2006 was approximately $1,200,000. Future

The Corporation utilizes a combination of insurance coverage and
self-insurance for certain items, including workers
compensation and group health benefits. Liabilities for
workers compensation are recognized for
29

Statements (Continued)
estimated future medical costs and indemnity costs. Liabilities
for group health benefits are recognized for claims incurred but
not paid. Insurance reserves are estimated based upon a
combination of historical data and actuarial information. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
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 Corporations results of operations
or financial position.
NOTE 3 | Purchase of Treasury Stock |
The Corporations board of directors from time to time has
authorized the repurchase of shares of the Corporations
common stock, in the open market or through negotiated
transactions, at such times and at such prices as management may
decide. In fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation did not
acquire any shares of its common stock. At May 31, 2008,
the Corporation had authorization to repurchase an additional
391,300 shares of its common stock.
NOTE 4 | Employee Benefits |
A) | PROFIT SHARING PLANS AND 401 (K) PLANS |
The Corporation has two deferred profit sharing plans
(Plans), which together cover substantially all of
its employees. The Plans are defined contribution plans to which
the Corporation has the right to modify, suspend or discontinue
contributions. Assets of the Plans are invested in United States
Government Securities. For the years ended May 31, 2007 and
2006, contributions to the Plans were $1,717,000 and $2,653,000,
respectively. No contributions were made for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2008.
The Corporation has an employee savings plan (the 401(k)
Plan) that is intended to provide participating employees
with an additional method of saving for retirement. The 401(k)
Plan covers all employees who meet certain minimum participation
requirements. The Corporation does not currently provide a
matching contribution to the 401(k) Plan.
B) | RETIREMENT AND DEATH BENEFIT PLANS |
The Corporation has entered into arrangements with certain
employees which provide for benefits to be paid to the
employees estates in the event of death during active
employment or retirement benefits to be paid over 10 years
beginning at the date of retirement. To fund all such
arrangements, the Corporation purchased life insurance contracts
on the covered employees. The present value of the principal
cost of such arrangements is being accrued over the period from
the date of such arrangements to full eligibility using a
discount rate of 6.5 percent in fiscal 2008,
6.0 percent in fiscal 2007 and 6.5 percent in fiscal
2006. The amount accrued for such arrangements totaled
$6,079,000, $6,522,000 and $6,299,000 at May 31, 2008, 2007
and 2006, respectively. The amount (credited) charged to
operations under these arrangements was $(215,000), $406,000 and
$64,000 for the years ended May 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
respectively. The amount credited or charged to operations is
directly related to changes in the discount rate, and the number
of participants with arrangements with the Corporation.
NOTE 5 | Industry Segment Information |
The Corporation designs, produces and distributes manufactured
housing (single section homes, multi-section homes and modular
homes) and towable recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth

Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108)
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current
31
Table of Contents
Skyline

Notes to

Statements (Continued)
Year Financial Statements. This bulletin provides guidance
on quantifying the impact of the carryover or reversal of prior
year misstatements on the current year financial statements. Two
widely recognized approaches are used for quantifying the
effects of financial statement misstatements: the
rollover approach and the iron curtain
approach. The rollover approach quantifies a misstatement based
on the amount of the error originating in the current year
income statement. The iron curtain approach quantifies a
misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement
existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year,
irrespective of the misstatements year of origination.
The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors
using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach,
and evaluate whether either method results in a misstatement
that, when considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative
factors, is material. In initially applying SAB No. 108,
registrants are permitted to report the cumulative effect of
misstatements in the opening balance of retained earnings for
the current year.
The Corporation has historically used the rollover approach when
quantifying and evaluating uncorrected misstatements. In
accordance with SAB No. 108, the Corporation recorded an
increase in deferred tax assets and an increase in retained
earnings in the amount of $292,000, net of tax, as of
June 1, 2006. This adjustment resulted from the Corporation
not recording certain deferred tax assets, which was deemed
immaterial to the financial statements in each respective
period. This misstatement decreased net income in the years
reported, and originated prior to the fiscal year ended in 2005.

Managements
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
As of May 31, 2008, the Corporation conducted an
evaluation, under the supervision and participation of
management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
Corporations disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in
Rule 13a-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of
May 31, 2008.
Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over
financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The Corporations internal control over financial reporting
includes policies and procedures that: pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
Corporations assets; provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that the Corporations receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors; provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Corporations assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management of the Corporation has assessed the effectiveness of
the Corporations internal control over financial reporting
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Managements assessment included an evaluation of the
design of the Corporations internal control over financial
reporting, and testing of the operational effectiveness of the
Corporations internal control over financing reporting.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of May 31, 2008.
Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, the independent registered public
accounting firm that audited the Corporations fiscal 2008
financial statements included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K,
has also audited managements assessment of the
effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over
financial reporting and the effectiveness of the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting as
of May 31, 2008, and their report thereon is included in
Item 8.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in the Corporations internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f))
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008 that
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Corporations internal control over financial
reporting.
