Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements
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 November 30, 2014, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2013. Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporations business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
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 audited consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2014 and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporations latest annual report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior year amounts related to discontinued operations have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The following is a summary of the accounting policies that have a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Estimates 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. Key estimates would include accruals for warranty, workers compensation, marketing programs and health insurance as well as valuations for long-lived assets and deferred tax assets.
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 financial 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.
Accounts Receivable Trade receivables are based on the amounts billed to dealers and communities. The Corporation does not accrue interest on any of its trade receivables, nor does it have an allowance for credit losses due to favorable collections experience. If a loss occurs, the Corporations policy is to recognize it in the period when collectability cannot be reasonably assured.

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
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.
Workers Compensation Security Deposit Deferred workers compensation deposit represents funds placed with the Corporations workers compensation insurance carrier to offset future medical claims and benefits.
Note Receivable The Corporations note receivable represents the amount owed for the sale of two idle recreational vehicle facilities in Hemet, California; less cash received on the date of closing and cash received from principal repayments through November 30, 2014. Interest is accrued on a monthly basis. No allowance for credit losses exists due to favorable collections experience. The Corporations management evaluates the credit quality of the note on a monthly basis. The Corporations policy is to recognize a loss in the period when collectability cannot be reasonably assured. Subsequent to November 30, 2014, the note was fully repaid.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are 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 reporting purposes. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of property, plant and equipment, including idle property, are as follows: Building and improvements 10 to 30 years; machinery and equipment 5 to 8 years. At November 30, 2014, idle property consisted of an idle manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida. At May 31, 2014, idle property consisted of the aforementioned facility, and two manufacturing facilities in Elkhart, Indiana. The Corporation has the Ocala facility, and undeveloped land in McMinnville, Oregon presently for sale.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from projected future cash flows. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company believes no impairment of long-lived assets exists at November 30, 2014.
Warranty The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its homes, park models and recreational vehicles with a full fifteen-month warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Income Taxes The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets based on differences between the carrying values of assets for financial and tax reporting purposes. The realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that an entity consider both negative and positive evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted. In comparing negative and positive evidence, continual losses in recent years is considered significant, negative, objective evidence that deferred tax assets may not be realized in the future, and generally is assigned more weight than subjective positive evidence of the realizability of deferred tax assets. As a result of its extensive evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, management maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Corporation reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Corporation recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08 Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU No. 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in that a discontinued operation may include a component of an entity, a group of components of an entity, or a business or non-profit activity. In addition, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results when certain conditions are met. For public business entities, ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Corporation did not utilize early adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 regarding the sale of its recreational vehicle segment as referenced in Note 2. It will, however, adopt this pronouncement for any disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that may occur after May 31, 2015.
Managements Plan The Corporations consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Due to recurring losses, the Corporation experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. The level of historical negative cash flows from operations and not having available funding from outside financing sources raise substantial doubt about the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, certain strategies need to be pursued to raise capital, increase sales and decrease costs. These strategies include but are not all inclusive:

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Managements Plan (continued)
| Divest Non-Core Assets: Management is focused on driving profitable growth in the Corporations core housing business. |
Progress:
In October 2014, the Corporation sold its recreational vehicle segment to focus solely on its core housing business and to raise cash. Additional information regarding the sale is in Note 2.
In addition to the sale of the RV business, the Corporation sold two idle housing facilities and one undeveloped parcel of land in fiscal 2014 and is currently seeking buyers for an idle housing facility and an undeveloped parcel of land to raise cash and eliminate carrying costs.
| Optimize Manufacturing Footprint: Through an ongoing assessment of the strategic positioning of Skylines manufacturing facilities, Management has successfully executed initiatives to optimize financial performance by reducing costs and gaining efficiencies at each facility. |
Progress:
Eight of the Corporations nine housing facilities had operating profits for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2015. The ninth is the Mansfield, Texas plant, our newest housing facility, which recently was converted from an RV plant and has experienced temporary inefficiencies inherent in such a conversion.
The Corporations performance in fiscal 2015 represents significant improvement over fiscal 2014. In the first half of fiscal 2014, five of its eight housing facilities had operating profits. By comparison, in the first half of fiscal 2015 eight of nine housing facilities had operating profits.
| Increase Sales: |
| Working to increase sales at the Mansfield, Texas housing facility by gaining a greater presence on the properties of manufactured housing dealers and manufactured housing communities. |
| Continuing to work with manufactured housing communities to identify opportunities for increasing sales. |
| Increasing sales of modular homes and park models by cultivating relationships with modular housing developers and campground owners that are outside the Corporations historical distribution channels. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Managements Plan (continued)
| Establishing additional distribution channels and forging new strategic relationships. |
Progress:
These efforts contributed to a sales increase at the Mansfield, Texas facility of approximately 28 percent in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2015, while the operating loss decreased by approximately 39 percent over the same time period.
For the first half of fiscal 2015, manufactured housing sales to the Corporations six largest communities increased approximately 35 percent compared with the first half of fiscal 2014. For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, sales to these communities increased approximately 2 percent compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, net sales for modular housing and park models increased approximately 23 percent and 124 percent, respectively, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first half of fiscal 2015, net sales for modular housing and park models increased approximately 14 percent and 122 percent, respectively, compared with the first half of fiscal 2014.
During the second quarter, the Corporation established a relationship with a manufactured housing retailer that specializes in internet-based marketing and provides factory tours to potential customers. This relationship is expected to help drive additional sales by more fully exploiting this increasingly important distribution channel for the Corporations products. The Corporation expects five or six locations to be operating by the end of fiscal 2015.
| Decrease Costs: Skyline continues to streamline costs with a focus on maximizing efficiencies and resources. |
Progress:
The Corporations Purchasing Department has obtained significant price concessions from certain suppliers and anticipates further savings from this initiative in the second half of the fiscal year.
In addition, Management has continued to analyze staffing needs and make reductions when considered appropriate. In connection with the sale of the RV business, the Corporation also identified and implemented reductions in corporate personnel that should result in annualized savings of approximately $400,000.

| Raise Additional Capital: Management is pursuing opportunities for additional capital and financing. |
Progress:
The Corporation has obtained a number of proposals for additional capital that are being evaluated by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors.
As with any business enterprise, the Corporations ability to operate as a going concern is contingent upon the successful execution of its strategies. Management is prepared to modify these strategies as appropriate to meet prevailing business and market conditions.
NOTE 2 Discontinued Operations
During September 2014, the Corporation decided to strategically focus on its core housing business and exit the recreational vehicle industry. As a result, on October 7, 2014 (Closing Date), the Corporation completed the sale of certain assets associated with its recreational vehicle segment (the Transaction) to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (ERV). The Transaction was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the Corporation and ERV on the Closing Date, as well as the terms of a Real Property Purchase Agreement entered into on that same date between the Corporation and an affiliate of ERV, Skyline RE Holding LLC (which, collectively with ERV, is referred to herein as Evergreen). The assets of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction include:
| A recreational vehicle manufacturing facility consisting of approximately 135,000 square feet situated on 18.2 acres located in Bristol, Indiana; |
| Intellectual properties such as trademarks, licenses, and product designs associated with the recreational vehicle segment; |
| Furniture, machinery, software, and equipment; |
| Raw material and work-in-process inventories; |
| Product designs, plans, and specifications; |
| Customer purchase orders and contracts, customer lists, and supplier lists; and |

NOTE 2 Discontinued Operations (Continued)
| All of the Corporations rights to the exhibit space at the 2014 RVIA Louisville Show and related show materials (although the Corporation will retain approximately 4,500 square feet of show space for its own use). |
The amount and nature of the consideration received by the Corporation for the assets sold include:
| A cash payment of $175,000; |
| A separate cash payment of approximately $806,000, less prorated property taxes of approximately $73,000 and selling expenses of approximately $2,000, for the Bristol, Indiana manufacturing facility; |
| Evergreen will pay the Corporation a cash payment for the 2014 RVIA Louisville Show space (less the retained 4,500 square feet) at the per square foot lease rate paid by the Corporation for the space; and |
| For six months following the Closing Date, Evergreen will pay the Corporation 50 percent of the Corporations cost for raw materials inventory purchased by the Corporation prior to the Closing Date within 10 days of Evergreens use of the raw material. After six months following the Closing Date, the Corporation will have the right to remove any remaining materials inventory from Evergreens possession. |
In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement Evergreen will not assume or agree to pay, perform, or discharge any of the Corporations liabilities or obligations, which will remain the liabilities and obligations of the Corporation.
The Bristol facility, and assets other than raw material and finished goods inventories, was sold at approximately net book value. Evergreen has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the raw material inventory at 50 percent of the Corporations cost of approximately $1,600,000. There can be no assurances as to how much of the raw material inventory Evergreen will purchase. Consequently, the Corporation incurred an approximate $901,000 charge in the second quarter reflecting the reduction in value of the raw material inventory plus raw material inventory that will not be used by Evergreen. Through November 30, 2014, Evergreen paid the Corporation approximately $69,000 for raw material inventory. In future periods, there may be additional charges that could be material related to the discontinued operations of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction.

Loss on disposal of discontinued operations consisted of a $901,000 charge associated with the reduction in value of raw material inventory, less a gain of approximately $670,000 resulting from the sale of two idle recreational vehicle manufacturing facilities in Elkhart, Indiana to Forest River Manufacturing, LLC.
The Corporations park model business, which was formerly reported in the recreational vehicle segment, was not disposed as part of the transaction with Evergreen and is now reported in the housing segment because net sales do not warrant separate segment reporting.

NOTE 4 Note Receivable
During fiscal 2013, the Corporation sold two idle recreational vehicle facilities in Hemet, California. The sale of the facilities included a promissory note of $1,700,000 to the Corporation. The note bears an interest rate of 6 percent per annum, requires monthly payments following a 20 year amortization schedule, and provides for a final payment after 6 years. In addition, the two facilities are collateral for the note. The current and non-current balance of $1,606,000 represents the original amount of the note less principal payments received through November 30, 2014. Subsequent to November 30, 2014, the note was fully repaid.
NOTE 5 Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies which totaled $6,485,000 and $6,452,000 at November 30 and May 31, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 8 Income Taxes
At November 30, 2014, the Corporations gross deferred tax assets of approximately $49 million consist of approximately $34 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, $8 million in state net operating loss carryforwards, and $7 million resulting from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. $5 million of the $49 million of total gross deferred tax assets pertain to discontinued operations. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards have a life expectancy of between sixteen and twenty years. The state net operating loss carryforwards have a life expectancy, depending on the state where a loss was incurred, between five and twenty years. The Corporation has recorded a full valuation allowance against this asset. If the Corporation, after considering future negative and positive evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, determines that a lesser valuation allowance is warranted, it would record a reduction to income tax expense and the valuation allowance in the period of determination.
NOTE 9 Commitments and Contingencies
The Corporation was contingently liable at November 30 and May 31, 2014 under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing for dealers of its products. Under these arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing and park models industries, the Corporation agrees to repurchase units in the event of default by the dealer at declining prices over the term of the agreement. The period to potentially repurchase units is between 12 to 24 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 for continuing and discontinued operations, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was approximately $65 million at November 30, 2014 and approximately $63 million at May 31, 2014. At November 30 and May 31, 2014, the maximum potential repurchase liability, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, associated with discontinued operations was approximately $29 million and $33 million, respectively. As a result of favorable experience regarding repurchased units, which is largely due to the strength of dealers selling the Corporations products, the Corporation maintained at November 30 and May 31, 2014, a $100,000 loss reserve that is a component of other accrued liabilities. $9,000 of the $100,000 loss reserve pertains to discontinued operations, and Management believes that the Corporations exit from the recreational vehicle business will not further impact the loss reserve.
The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over many dealers 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 estimates the fair value of this commitment considering both the contingent losses and the value of the guarantee. This amount has historically been insignificant. The Corporation believes that any potential loss under the agreements in effect at November 30, 2014 will not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 9 Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
In the first half of fiscal 2015, 11 recreational vehicles were repurchased for approximately $203,000; resulting in a loss of approximately $43,000. In the first half of fiscal 2014, there were no obligations or net losses from repurchased units.
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.
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 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.
NOTE 10 Gain on Sale of Idle Property, Plant and Equipment
In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Corporation sold its idle manufactured housing facility located in Fair Haven, Vermont. The gain on the sale of this facility was $162,000.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Overview
The Corporation designs, produces and markets manufactured housing, modular housing and park models to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States and Canada. To better serve the needs of its dealers and communities, the Corporation has nine manufacturing facilities in eight states. Manufactured housing and park models 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 housing, modular homes and park models throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured housing and modular housing are affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporations northern plants. Park model sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter months. Manufactured and modular housing are marketed under a number of trademarks, and are available in a variety of dimensions. Park models are marketed under the following trademarks: Kensington Shore Park Stone Harbor and Vacation Villa. Manufactured housing products are built according to standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Modular homes are built according to state, provincial or local building codes. Park models are built according to specifications established by the American National Standards Institute, and are intended to provide temporary living accommodations for individuals seeking leisure travel and outdoor recreation.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued). |
Manufactured Housing, Modular Housing and Park Model Industry Conditions
Sales of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models are affected by the strength of the U.S. economy, interest rate and employment levels, consumer confidence and the availability of wholesale and retail financing. The manufactured housing industry had been affected by declining unit shipments to historically low levels. Shipments totaled approximately 373,000 units in 1998; steadily declining to approximately 50,000 units by 2010. This decline was caused primarily by adverse economic conditions, tightening retail and wholesale credit markets and a depressed site-built housing market. Shipments, however, increased to approximately 52,000, 55,000 and 60,000 units in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. From 2010 to 2013, the Corporations shipments totaled approximately 1,900, 1,900, 1,800 and 2,200 units, respectively. From January 2014 to November 2014, shipments were approximately 60,000 units; an approximately 6 percent increase from the same period in 2013. During this same timeframe, the Corporations shipments were approximately 2,500 units; a 21 percent increase from the same period in 2013.
The domestic modular housing industry experienced challenges similar to the manufactured housing industry. From calendar 2006 to 2012, total industry shipments decreased from approximately 39,000 to 13,000 units, a decline of 67 percent. In 2013, industry shipments increased to approximately 14,000 units. In 2012 and 2013, the Corporations shipments were 301 and 263, respectively. From January 2014 to September 2014, shipments were approximately 10,000 units; an approximately 3 percent decrease from the same period a year ago. During this same timeframe, the Corporations shipments were 375 units; a 43 percent increase from the same period in 2013.
Sales of park models are influenced by changes and consumer confidence, employment levels, and the availability of retail and wholesale financing. From calendar 2006 to 2012, total industry shipments decreased from approximately 9,800 to 2,800 units, a decline of 71 percent. In 2013, industry shipments increased to approximately 3,600 units. In 2012 and 2013, the Corporations shipments were 138 and 171, respectively. From January 2014 to November 2014, shipments were approximately 3,500 units; an approximately 4 percent increase from the same period a year ago. During this same timeframe, the Corporations shipments were 296 units; a 78 percent increase from the same period in 2013.
Discontinued Operations
During September 2014, the Corporation decided to strategically focus on its core housing business and exit the recreational vehicle industry. As a result, on October 7, 2014 (Closing Date), the Corporation completed the sale of certain assets associated with its recreational vehicle segment (the Transaction) to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (ERV).
17
Table of Contents
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued). |
Discontinued Operations (Continued)
The Transaction was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the Corporation and ERV on the Closing Date, as well as the terms of a Real Property Purchase Agreement entered into on that same date between the Corporation and an affiliate of ERV, Skyline RE Holding LLC (which, collectively with ERV, is referred to herein as Evergreen). The assets of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction include, but not are limited to:
| A recreational vehicle manufacturing facility consisting of approximately 135,000 square feet situated on 18.2 acres located in Bristol, Indiana; |
| Intellectual properties such as trademarks, licenses, and product designs associated with the recreational vehicle segment; |
| Furniture, machinery, software, and equipment; |
| Raw material and work-in-process inventories; |
| Product designs, plans, and specifications; |
| Customer purchase orders and contracts, customer lists, and supplier lists; and |
| All of the Corporations rights to the exhibit space at the 2014 RVIA Louisville Show and related show materials (although the Corporation will retain approximately 4,500 square feet of show space for its own use). |
The amount and nature of the consideration received by the Corporation for the assets sold include:
| A cash payment of $175,000; |
| A separate cash payment of approximately $806,000, less prorated property taxes of approximately $73,000 and selling expenses of approximately $2,000, for the Bristol, Indiana manufacturing facility; |
| Evergreen will pay the Corporation a cash payment for the 2014 RVIA Louisville Show space (less the retained 4,500 square feet) at the per square foot lease rate paid by the Corporation for the space; and |
| For six months following the Closing Date, Evergreen will pay the Corporation 50 percent of the Corporations cost for raw materials inventory purchased by the Corporation prior to the Closing Date within 10 days of Evergreens use of the raw material. After six months following the Closing Date, the Corporation will have the right to remove any remaining materials inventory from Evergreens possession. |
In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement Evergreen will not assume or agree to pay, perform, or discharge any of the Corporations liabilities or obligations, which will remain the liabilities and obligations of the Corporation.
The Bristol facility, and assets other than raw material and finished goods inventories, was sold at approximately net book value. Evergreen has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the raw material inventory at 50 percent of the Corporations cost of approximately $1,600,000. There can be no assurances as to how much of the raw material inventory Evergreen will purchase.

Discontinued Operations (Continued)
Consequently, the Corporation incurred an approximate $901,000 charge in the second quarter reflecting the reduction in value of the raw material inventory plus raw material inventory that will not be used by Evergreen. Through November 30, 2014, Evergreen paid the Corporation approximately $69,000 for raw material inventory. In future periods, there may be additional charges that could be material related to the discontinued operations of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction.

Loss on disposal of discontinued operations consisted of a $901,000 charge associated with the reduction in value of raw material inventory, less a gain of approximately $670,000 resulting from the sale of two idle recreational vehicle manufacturing facilities in Elkhart, Indiana to Forest River Manufacturing, LLC.
The Corporations park model business, which was formerly reported in the recreational vehicle segment, was not disposed as part of the transaction with Evergreen and is now reported in the housing segment because net sales do not warrant separate segment reporting.

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement the Corporation is responsible for the payment of product warranty claims associated with recreational vehicles sold by the Corporation. Consequently, this obligation is not included in the liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at November 30 and May 31, 2014.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
The Corporation experienced the following results during the second quarter of fiscal 2015:
| The Corporation sold the recreational vehicle segment as previously noted |
| Net sales related to continuing operations were $49,667,000, an approximate 27 percent increase from the $39,208,000 reported in the same period a year ago |
| Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $81,000 as compared to a net loss of $739,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 |
| Loss from discontinued operations, net of incomes taxes, was $3,525,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to $1,474,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 |
| Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3,444,000 as compared to $2,213,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. On a per share basis, net loss was $.41 as compared to $.27 for the same period a year ago |
| The Corporation sold two idle recreational vehicle facilities located in Elkhart, Indiana as previously noted in Discontinued Operations |
The Corporation experienced increased net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and management cannot determine with certainty if this trend will continue. This uncertainty is based on potential adverse changes in economic growth, interest rate and employment levels, and consumer confidence.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued). |
Managements Plan
The Corporations consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Due to recurring losses, the Corporation experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. The level of historical negative cash flows from operations and not having available funding from outside financing sources raise substantial doubt about the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, certain strategies need to be pursued to raise capital, increase sales and decrease costs. These strategies include but are not all inclusive:
| Divest Non-Core Assets: Management is focused on driving profitable growth in the Corporations core housing business. |
Progress:
In October 2014, the Corporation sold its recreational vehicle segment to focus solely on its core housing business and to raise cash. Additional information regarding the sale is in Note 2.
In addition to the sale of the RV business, the Corporation sold two idle housing facilities and one undeveloped parcel of land in fiscal 2014 and is currently seeking buyers for an idle housing facility and an undeveloped parcel of land to raise cash and eliminate carrying costs.
| Optimize Manufacturing Footprint: Through an ongoing assessment of the strategic positioning of Skylines manufacturing facilities, Management has successfully executed initiatives to optimize financial performance by reducing costs and gaining efficiencies at each facility. |
Progress:
Eight of the Corporations nine housing facilities had operating profits for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2015. The ninth is the Mansfield, Texas plant, our newest housing facility, which recently was converted from an RV plant and has experienced temporary inefficiencies inherent in such a conversion.
The Corporations performance in fiscal 2015 represents significant improvement over fiscal 2014. In the first half of fiscal 2014, five of its eight housing facilities had operating profits. By comparison, in the first half of fiscal 2015 eight of nine housing facilities had operating profits.
| Increase Sales: |
| Working to increase sales at the Mansfield, Texas housing facility by gaining a greater presence on the properties of manufactured housing dealers and manufactured housing communities. |
21
Table of Contents
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued). |
Managements Plan (Continued)
| Continuing to work with manufactured housing communities to identify opportunities for increasing sales. |
| Increasing sales of modular homes and park models by cultivating relationships with modular housing developers and campground owners that are outside the Corporations historical distribution channels. |
| Establishing additional distribution channels and forging new strategic relationships. |
Progress:
These efforts contributed to a sales increase at the Mansfield, Texas facility of approximately 28 percent in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2015, while the operating loss decreased by approximately 39 percent over the same time period.
For the first half of fiscal 2015, manufactured housing sales to the Corporations six largest communities increased approximately 35 percent compared with the first half of fiscal 2014. For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, sales to these communities increased approximately 2 percent compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, net sales for modular housing and park models increased approximately 23 percent and 124 percent, respectively, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first half of fiscal 2015, net sales for modular housing and park models increased approximately 14 percent and 122 percent, respectively, compared with the first half of fiscal 2014.
During the second quarter, the Corporation established a relationship with a manufactured housing retailer that specializes in internet-based marketing and provides factory tours to potential customers. This relationship is expected to help drive additional sales by more fully exploiting this increasingly important distribution channel for the Corporations products. The Corporation expects five or six locations to be operating by the end of fiscal 2015.
| Decrease Costs: Skyline continues to streamline costs with a focus on maximizing efficiencies and resources. |
Progress:
The Corporations Purchasing Department has obtained significant price concessions from certain suppliers and anticipates further savings from this initiative in the second half of the fiscal year.
In addition, Management has continued to analyze staffing needs and make reductions when considered appropriate. In connection with the sale of the RV business, the Corporation also identified and implemented reductions in corporate personnel that should result in annualized savings of approximately $400,000.

Selling and Administrative Expenses (Continued)
Selling and administrative expenses, increased primarily as a result of the Mansfield, Texas facility incurring approximately $246,000 in expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to $143,000 for the same period a year ago. In addition, in prior year there was a $100,000 decrease that occurred in the expense related to the Corporations liability for retirement and death benefits offered to certain current and former employees. The decrease occurred as a result of a change in the interest rate used in valuing the liability. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses declined due to certain costs remaining fixed amid rising sales.

As noted in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash decreased primarily due to net cash usage of $3,556,000 from operating activities offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $2,349,000. Current assets, exclusive of cash, decreased mainly due to a $5,101,000 decrease in assets of discontinued operations and a $2,669,000 decrease in accounts receivable. Assets of discontinued operations declined as a result of the Corporations sale of its recreational vehicle segment. Accounts receivable decreased due to the timing of payments from dealers and communities at November 30, 2014 as compared to May 31, 2014.
Current liabilities decreased due to the following factors:
| Liabilities of discontinued operations decreased $2,685,000 resulting from the Corporations sale of its recreational vehicle segment |
| Other accrued liabilities decreased primarily as a result of a $718,000 fulfillment of certain obligations with the Corporations contract with National Community Renaissance of California |
| Accounts payable decreased $1,016,000 due to less production occurring at November 30, 2014 as compared to May 31, 2014 |
| Accrued marketing programs increased $1,625,000 due to accruals for an ongoing marketing program for manufactured housing dealers and communities. Accruals are made monthly, and the majority of the payments occur during the Corporations fourth quarter. |
Capital expenditures totaled $163,000 for the first half of fiscal 2015 as compared to $460,000 for the first half of fiscal 2014. Approximately $391,000 of prior year expenditures was attributable to the renovation of the Mansfield, Texas facility to accommodate housing production.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
With the sale of the recreational vehicle segment, the Corporation anticipates that cash needs associated with this discontinued operation will significantly decrease in future periods since it will not be funding significant operating losses. As previously referenced, the Corporation has current assets of discontinued operations of $2,372,000, current liabilities of discontinued operations of $339,000, and an estimated $1,300,000 of current and non-current warranty obligations associated with the recreational vehicle segment that is reported in continuing obligations.
As noted in the Managements Plan section, the Corporation is aggressively pursuing strategies in order to raise capital, increase sales and decrease costs. As with any business enterprise, the Corporations ability to operate as a going concern is contingent upon the successful execution of its strategies. Management, however, is prepared to modify these strategies to meet prevailing business conditions.
