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”, “Skyline”) 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. Manufactured housing is built 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, and park models are built according to specifications established by the American National Standards Institute.

The Corporation sold 3,217 manufactured homes, 360 modular homes and 337 park models in fiscal 2016.

The Corporation’s housing products 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’, and triplewide widths from 36’ to 46’. The area of a singlewide ranges from approximately 400 to 1,200 square feet, a doublewide from approximately 700 to 2,400 square feet, and a triplewide from approximately 1,600 to 2,900 square feet.

As noted in “Discontinued Operations” in Item 7, the Corporation sold its recreational vehicle business during fiscal 2015 in order to focus on its core housing business. The Corporation’s park model business, which was formerly reported in the recreational vehicle segment, was not disposed as part of the sale and is now reported in the housing segment because net sales do not warrant separate segment reporting.

Financial Information about Segments

The Corporation operates in one business segment: housing. Prior to fiscal 2015, the Corporation reported net sales, operating results and total assets in two business segments; housing and recreational vehicles. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, however, the Corporation made a strategic decision to exit the recreational vehicle industry in order to focus on its core housing business. In this regard, in October 2014 the Corporation sold substantially all of its recreational vehicle-related assets to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC. Operating results of the former recreational vehicle business are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented herein, and the recreational vehicle segment is no longer included in segment reporting (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Narrative Description of Business

Principal Products and Markets

The Corporation’s homes are marketed under a number of trademarks, and are available in a variety of dimensions. Manufactured housing models 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. Each home typically includes two to four bedrooms, kitchen, dining area, living room, one or two bathrooms, kitchen appliances, central heating and cooling. Custom options may include but are not limited to: exterior dormers and windows; interior or exterior accent columns; fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Materials used to construct a manufactured or a modular home are similar to those used in site-built housing. The Corporation also sells homes that are “Energy-Star” compliant.

Park models are marketed under the “Shore Park” trademark. The Corporation’s park models are intended to provide temporary living accommodations for individuals seeking leisure travel and outdoor recreation.

The principal markets for manufactured and modular housing are the suburban and rural areas of the continental United States and Canada. 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.

 

2


Item 1. Business. — (Continued).

Principal Products and Markets  — (Continued)

 

The park model market is made up of primarily vacationing families and retired couples.

The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its homes and park models with a full fifteen-month warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship. The warranties are backed by service departments located at the Corporation’s manufacturing facilities and an extensive field service system.

The amount and percentage of net sales contributed by manufactured housing, modular housing and park model products is noted in Item 7.

Method of Distribution

The Corporation’s products are distributed by approximately 290 independent dealers at 580 locations throughout the United States and Canada. These are generally not exclusive dealerships and it is believed that most dealers also sell products of other manufacturers.

The Corporation’s 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 Corporation’s 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 financial institution in accordance with a declining repurchase price schedule agreed to by the financial institution and 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.

The Corporation had losses related to repurchases of $50,000 in fiscal year 2016, and losses of $177,000 in fiscal year 2015.

Additional information regarding these repurchase agreements is included in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8.

Raw Materials and Supplies

The Corporation is basically an assembler and installer of components purchased from outside sources. The major components used by the Corporation are electrical components, 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 its business.

Seasonal Fluctuations

While the Corporation maintains production of homes and park models throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of homes are affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporation’s northern plants. Park model sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter months.

Inventory

The Corporation does not maintain significant finished goods inventories. In addition, there are no inventories sold on consignment.

Item 1. Business. — (Continued).

 

Dependence Upon Individual Customers

During fiscal 2016, net sales of homes and park models to Sun Home Services, Inc. (“Sun Home”) totaled approximately $22,231,000 or 10 percent of total net sales. During fiscal 2015, net sales to this customer totaled $20,187,000 or 11 percent of total net sales. Based on the current volume of sales to Sun Home, if the Corporation experienced a loss of Sun Home as a customer or Sun Home significantly reduced its volume of purchases from the Corporation, this could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Corporation. No other individual customer in fiscal 2016 and 2015 had net sales greater than 10 percent of net total sales.

Backlog

The Corporation does not consider the existence and extent of backlog to be significant in its business. The Corporation’s production is based on a relatively short manufacturing cycle and customer orders, which continuously fluctuate.

As such, the existence of backlog is insignificant at any given date and does not typically provide a reliable indication of the status of the Corporation’s business.

Government Contracts

The Corporation has had no government contracts during the past three years.

Competitive Conditions

The Corporation’s primary competitors range from multi-billion dollar corporations to relatively small and specialized manufacturers. The principal methods of competition include but are not limited to price, features, service, warranty and product performance. Service and product performance are believed to be competitive advantages, while lack of vertical integration is considered a competitive disadvantage. The Corporation also competes with companies that provide other forms of housing, such as new and existing site-built homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses.

The following tables show the Corporation’s competitive position on a calendar and fiscal year basis in the product lines it sells.

The competitive position for modular housing on a fiscal year basis is omitted because industry data is only available on a calendar quarter basis.

The Corporation’s business is affected by the availability of wholesale and retail financing. Consequently, increases in interest rates and the availability of credit through governmental action or otherwise, have adversely affected the Corporation’s business in the past and may do so again in the future.

Item 1. Business. — (Continued).

 

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.

Government Regulations

The manufacture, distribution and sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models are subject to government regulations in the United States at federal, state and local levels. 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 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 HUD’s 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 and modular housing may also be subject to Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and recall requirements.

Regarding park models, the Corporation has voluntarily subjected itself to third party inspection in order to further assure the Corporation, its dealers, and customers of compliance with established standards.

Manufactured housing, modular housing and park model sales may be subject to the Magnuson – Moss Warranty – Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, which regulates warranties on consumer products.

The Corporation’s 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 and modular housing) of the Corporation’s 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.

Number of Employees

The Corporation employed approximately 1,350 people at May 31, 2016.

Executive Officers of the Corporation

Information regarding the Corporation’s executive officers is located in this document under Item 4.5.

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.

Incurrence of Net Losses

Due to negative economic conditions that impacted the manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicle industries, the Corporation incurred net losses from fiscal years 2008 to 2015. Losses in future years could negatively affect the Corporation’s liquidity.

Changing Consumer Preferences

Changes in consumer preferences for manufactured housing, modular housing and park models 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 net sales, operating results and cash flows.

Dependence on Independent Dealers

The Corporation sells its manufactured homes, modular homes and park models to independent dealers. These dealers are not obligated to exclusively sell the Corporation’s products, and may choose to sell competitor’s products. In addition, a dealer may become financially insolvent and be forced to close its business. Both scenarios could have an adverse effect on net sales, operating results and cash flows.

Cost and Availability of Raw Materials

Prices and availability of raw materials used to manufacture the Corporation’s products can change significantly due to fluctuations in supply and demand. In addition, the cost of raw materials is also influenced by 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 housing, modular housing and park models. 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 inability to raise the price of its products and to maintain a proper supply of materials could have a negative impact on net sales, operating results and cash flows.

Dealer Inventories

As wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, modular homes and park models exceed retail sales, dealer inventories reach 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 net sales, operating results and cash flows.

 

6


Item 1A. Risk Factors. — (Continued).

 

Competition

As noted in Item 1, the manufactured housing, modular housing and park model industries are highly competitive with particular emphasis on price and features offered. Some of the Corporation’s competitors are vertically integrated by owning retail, consumer finance and insurance operations. This integration may provide competitors with an advantage with dealers. In addition, the Corporation’s housing products 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 net sales, operating results and cash flows.

Retail Financing Availability

Customers who purchase the Corporation’s products 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 Corporation’s 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 past 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, net sales, operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Wholesale Financing Availability

Independent dealers of the Corporation’s products generally finance their inventory purchases with wholesale floor plan financing provided by lending institutions. A dealer’s ability to obtain financing is significantly affected by the number of lending institutions offering floor planning, and by an institution’s lending limits. In past years, the industries in which the Corporation operates experienced a reduction in both the number of lenders offering floor planning and the amount of money available for financing. Any further decline in wholesale financing could have a negative impact on a dealer’s ability to purchase manufactured housing, modular housing and park model products, resulting in lower net 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 Corporation’s 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 net sales, operating results and cash flows.

Contingent Repurchase Agreements

As referenced in Note 11 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.

Cyclical and Seasonal Nature of Business

The industries in which the Corporation operates are highly cyclical, and are impacted by but not limited to the following conditions:

 

   

Availability of wholesale and retail financing;

 

   

Consumer confidence;

 

   

Interest rates;

 

7


Item 1A. Risk Factors. — (Continued).

Cyclical and Seasonal Nature of Business — (Continued)

 

   

Demographic and employment trends;

 

   

Availability of used or repossessed homes or park model; and

 

   

Impact of inflation.

Sales associated with the manufactured housing, modular housing and park model industries are also seasonal in nature with sales being lowest in the winter months. Seasonal changes, in addition to weakness in demand in one or both of the Corporation’s market segments, could materially impact the Corporation’s net 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. An unexpected loss of the service of one or more of these individuals could have an adverse effect on net sales, operating results and cash flows of the Corporation.

Covenant Compliance

The Corporation’s secured revolving credit facility necessitates compliance with various financial covenants. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Corporation on two occasions did not meet a covenant requiring a monthly loss not exceeding $500,000. A waiver of the covenant defaults was obtained in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The inability to meet covenants in the future represents an event of default, which if not cured or waived could negatively affect the Corporation’s ability to obtain financing under the facility and thereby have an adverse effect on liquidity.

As referenced in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation, in the second fiscal quarter of 2015, sold an operating recreational vehicle facility located in Bristol, Indiana at approximately net book value. This facility

was one of the assets sold to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC as part of the Corporation’s exit from the recreational vehicle industry. In addition, two idle recreational vehicle facilities located in Elkhart, Indiana were sold for a gain of approximately $670,000 to Forest River Manufacturing, LLC. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, an idle housing facility located in Ocala, Florida was sold for a gain of $243,000.

The total unit productive capacity of the Corporation is not readily ascertainable due to 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 Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

Item 7. Management’s 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, developers, campgrounds and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States and Canada. To better serve the needs of its dealers, developers, campgrounds and communities, the Corporation has ten manufacturing facilities in nine states. Manufactured housing, modular housing and park models are sold to customers either through floor plan financing with various financial institutions, credit terms, 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, modular housing and park models are affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporation’s northern plants. 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 “Shore Park” trademark. 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.

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.

Recent trends regarding calendar year unit shipments of the Corporation’s products and their respective industries are as follows:

Discontinued Operations

During September 2014, the Corporation made a strategic decision to exit the recreational vehicle industry in order to focus on its core housing business. As a result, on October 7, 2014, the Corporation completed the sale of certain assets associated with its recreational vehicle segment to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Discontinued Operations — (Continued)

 

The assets of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction include, but are 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; and

 

   

Customer purchase orders and contracts, customer lists, and supplier lists.

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; and

 

   

Evergreen had the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the raw material inventory at 50 percent of the Corporation’s cost of approximately $1,631,000. Consequently, the Corporation incurred an approximate $910,000 charge in fiscal 2015 reflecting the reduction in value of the inventory plus inventory that will not be used by Evergreen. The Corporation received approximately $721,000 for inventory used by Evergreen.

In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement Evergreen will not assume or agree to pay, perform, or discharge any of the Corporation’s 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.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations:

For fiscal 2016, Operating loss of discontinued operations is primarily the result of a charge for future warranty claim payments.

For fiscal 2015, loss on disposal of discontinued operations consisted of a $910,000 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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Discontinued Operations — (Continued)

 

The Corporation’s 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.

Fiscal 2016 Results

The Corporation experienced the following results during fiscal 2016:

 

   

Net sales from continuing operations were $211,774,000, an approximate 13 percent increase from the $186,985,000 reported in the same period a year ago.

 

   

Income from continuing operations for fiscal 2016 was $1,873,000 as compared to a loss of $4,188,000 for the same period a year ago.

 

   

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $195,000 for fiscal 2016 as compared to $6,226,000 for the same period a year ago.

 

   

Net income for fiscal 2016 was $1,678,000 as compared to a net loss of $10,414,000 for fiscal 2015. On a basic per share basis, net income was $.20 as compared to a net loss of $1.24 for the comparable period a year ago.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On March 20, 2015, the Corporation (“Borrower(s)”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with First Business Capital Corp. (“First Business Capital”). Under the Loan Agreement, First Business Capital will provide a secured revolving credit facility to the Corporation for a term of three years, renewable on an annual basis thereafter with each renewal for a successive one-year term. The Corporation may obtain loan advances up to a maximum of $10,000,000 subject to certain collateral-obligation ratios. In addition, loan advances bear interest at 3.75% in excess of The Wall Street Journal’s published one year LIBOR rate, and are secured by substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, now owned or hereafter acquired. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears, and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable upon termination of the Loan Agreement. First Business Capital also agreed under the Loan Agreement to issue, or cause to be issued by a bank affiliate or other bank, letters of credit for the account of the Corporation. However, no advances have yet been made in connection with such letters of credit.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Corporation on two occasions did not meet a covenant requiring a monthly loss not exceeding $500,000. Consequently, the Corporation received in the second quarter a waiver of the defaults that occurred. In addition, the following modifications were made to the Loan Agreement.

A covenant specifying that a monthly loss not exceed $500,000 was modified to $1,500,000 for December 2015, $1,000,000 for January 2016, and $1,000,000 for February 2016. Following February 2016, the maximum monthly net loss as noted in the original Loan Agreement returns to $500,000 for March to May 2016, and $250,000 thereafter;

 

   

The limit for the lease, purchase or acquisition of any asset increased from $600,000 per year to $800,000 per year; and

 

   

The monthly bank assessment fee increased from .25% per annum to .35% per annum.

Subsequent to May 31, 2016, additional amendments were made to the Loan Agreement:

 

   

An increase in the capital expenditure limit for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 from $800,000 in the aggregate to $1,250,000 in the aggregate;

 

13


Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Secured Revolving Credit Facility — (Continued)

 

   

An increase in the capital expenditure limit for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2017 from $800,000 in the aggregate to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. In the absence of any subsequent amendment, the capital expenditure limit for subsequent fiscal years shall remain at $800,000 in the aggregate per fiscal year; and

 

   

A covenant specifying that a monthly net loss in fiscal 2017 not exceed $250,000 was increased to $500,000 for June 2016, $1,000,000 for July 2016, and $1,000,000 for December 2016. Such increases will be effective only for the months identified. In the absence of any subsequent amendment, the maximum monthly net loss for all other months of fiscal year 2017 and thereafter remain at $250,000.

Except as provided herein, the Loan Agreement and all other loan documentation related thereto shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Corporation was in compliance with Loan Agreement covenants as of May 31, 2016.

Net sales increased approximately 13.3 percent. The increase was comprised of a 17.4 percent increase in manufactured housing net sales, a 2.8 percent increase in modular housing net sales, and a 11.9 percent decrease in park model net sales.

For fiscal 2016, the percentage increase or decrease in unit shipments from the comparable period last year are as follows:

Management believes the lag in park model unit shipments relative to the park model industry is attributable to temporary softness in demand among the Corporation’s dealers, communities and campgrounds in the first half of the current year.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Net Sales and Unit Shipments — (Continued)

 

Compared to the prior year, the average net sales price for manufactured housing and modular housing decreased 1.8 and 1.7 percent, respectively, as a result of homes sold with less square footage and fewer amenities. The average net sales price for park models increased 2.2 percent as a result of a price increase and product sold with greater square footage and additional amenities.

Cost of sales, in dollars, increased as a result of increased net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased primarily due to more effectively controlling material costs during the procurement and manufacturing process.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased slightly as a result of increased sales-based compensation, performance-based compensation and increased marketing costs; which was more than offset by the absence of any expenses associated with the Special Committee of the Board of Directors in the current year as compared to approximately $248,000 in the same period last year and a $250,000 final payment received in the second quarter on a $536,000 account that had been fully reserved in the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses declined due to total costs remaining relatively constant amid rising sales.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, an idle housing facility located in Ocala, Florida was sold for a gain of $243,000.

Interest income of $50,000 for fiscal 2015 consisted of interest received from a note receivable that was repaid in December 2014.

Working capital

   $ 17,787       $ 16,464       $ 1,323   

As noted in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash increased due to cash flow from operating activities increasing $3,853,000 and cash flow from investing activities decreasing $1,189,000. Current assets, exclusive of cash, increased mainly due to a $385,000 decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by a $2,262,000 increase in inventories. Accounts receivable declined as a result of the timing of payments from dealers and communities at May 31, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015. Inventories increased as a result of increased production and homes awaiting shipment to dealers and communities at May 31, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015.

Current liabilities increased primarily as a result of an $888,000 increase in accounts payable, a $992,000 increase in accrued salaries and wages, and a $1,024,000 increase in customer deposits. Accounts payable increased due to increased production and the timing of paying vendors at May 31, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015. Accrued salaries and wages increased as a result of increased headcount and the timing of payments to employees at May 31, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015. Customer deposits increased primarily due to increased deposits received from customers at May 31, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015.

Capital expenditures totaled $1,132,000 for fiscal 2016 as compared to $473,000 for fiscal 2015. The increase is the result of building improvements, purchasing equipment for the newly-opened Indiana facility, and replacing equipment that had reached its full economic useful life.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Liquidity and Capital Resources — (Continued)

 

If necessary, the Corporation has the ability to borrow money under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and against the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies. In addition, the Corporation anticipates that cash needs associated with discontinued operations will be insignificant in future periods other than $150,000 for estimated future warranty claim payments.

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:

Deferred Tax Assets

Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates. The Corporation has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In addition, net deferred tax assets consist of federal net operating loss and tax credit carryfowards, state net operating loss carryfowards and temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Additional information regarding the decrease in the valuation allowance is referenced in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Corporation’s accounting for revenue recognition is referenced in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Product Warranties

As referenced in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, homes and park models are sold with a fifteen-month warranty. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale based upon sales, historical claims experience and management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims. Significant changes in these factors could have a material impact on future results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

   

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

 

   

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance.

Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — (Continued)

 

approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Public business entities should apply ASU No. 2015-11 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Corporation will evaluate how this pronouncement will affect financial condition and results of operations.

In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public this update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 66). The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In addition, FASB subsequently issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The Corporation is currently evaluating how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations.

Impact of Inflation

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 adjusted selling prices in reaction to changing costs due to inflation.

Forward Looking Information

The preceding Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are also made elsewhere in this report. The Corporation publishes other forward-looking statements from time to time.

Statements that are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution to be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Although

 

18


Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued).

Forward Looking Information — (Continued)

 

these statements reflect the Corporation’s good faith belief based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about (among other things) the industry and the markets in which the Corporation operates, they are not guarantees of future performance.

Whether actual results will conform to management’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the following:

 

   

Consumer confidence and economic uncertainty;

 

   

Availability of wholesale and retail financing;

 

   

The health of the U.S. housing market as a whole;

 

   

Regulations pertaining to the housing and park model industries;

 

   

The cyclical nature of the manufactured housing and park model industries;

 

   

General or seasonal weather conditions affecting sales;

 

   

Potential impact of natural disasters on sales and raw material costs;

 

   

Potential periodic inventory adjustments by independent retailers;

 

   

Interest rate levels;

 

   

Impact of inflation;

 

   

Impact of fuel and labor costs;

 

   

Competitive pressures on pricing and promotional costs;

 

   

Catastrophic events impacting insurance costs;

 

   

The availability of insurance coverage for various risks to the Corporation;

 

   

Market demographics; and

 

   

Management’s ability to attract and retain executive officers and key personnel.

Consequently, all of Skyline’s forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements. The Corporation may not realize the results anticipated by management or, even if the Corporation substantially realizes the results management anticipates, the results may not have the consequences to, or effects on, the Corporation or its business or operations that management expects. Such differences may be material. Except as required by applicable laws, the Corporation does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements management makes to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Skyline Corporation

Elkhart, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Skyline Corporation and subsidiary companies (the “Corporation) as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations, Accounting Policies of Consolidated Financial Statements

Nature of operations — Skyline Corporation’s core ongoing business activities consists of designing, producing and marketing manufactured housing, modular housing and park models to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities throughout the United States and Canada. Manufactured housing represents homes built according to a national code, modular housing represents homes built to a local code, and park models are built to specifications established by the American National Standards Institute. These dealers and communities often utilize floor plan financing arrangements with lending institutions. The Corporation’s net sales are predominately from its housing products. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement describes the recreational vehicle segment that was sold on October 7, 2014. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements (including footnote disclosures unless otherwise indicated) reflect these operations as discontinued operations apart from the Corporation’s continuing housing operations.

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 of Skyline Homes, Inc., Homette Corporation and Layton Homes Corp. (the “Corporation”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts related to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, customer deposits and long-term accrued warranty have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

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 Corporation’s 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 customer’s 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 Corporation’s 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. In fiscal 2015, a $536,000 allowance for doubtful accounts was established for an accounts receivable the Corporation had with one customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts was established due to uncertainty in the amount of money that will ultimately be collected. The allowance was reduced by a subsequent payment received of $250,000, and the remaining allowance and related accounts receivable were eliminated. Deposits from customers are classified as current liabilities.

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 — Workers’ compensation security deposit represents funds placed with the Corporation’s worker’s compensation insurance carrier to offset future medical net claims and benefits.

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

Property, Plant and Equipment — (Continued)

 

reporting and accelerated methods for income tax reporting 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. At May 31, 2016, undeveloped land in McMinnville, Oregon is 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 May 31, 2016.

Warranty — The Corporation provides the retail purchaser of its homes and park models with a full fifteen-month warranty against defects in design, materials and workmanship. The warranties are backed by service departments located at the Corporation’s 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 management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims. The adequacy of the recorded warranty liability is periodically assessed and the amount is adjusted as necessary.

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, losses in fiscal years 2008 to 2015 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.

Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Corporation’s Stock Incentive Plan and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options to purchase shares, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. The 225,000 stock options granted under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan had no dilutive effect on earnings per share for the year ended May 31, 2016.

Consolidated statements of cash flows — The Corporation’s cash flows were not affected by income taxes in fiscal 2016 and 2015. Cash flows were affected by interest paid of approximately $237,000 in fiscal 2016. Cash flows were affected by interest paid of approximately $339,000 in fiscal 2015.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

   

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance.

Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Public business entities should apply ASU No. 2015-11 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Corporation will evaluate how this pronouncement will affect financial condition and results of operations.

In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public this update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.

Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. The Corporation anticipates implementing this pronouncement without a material effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 66). The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In addition, FASB subsequently issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical ExpedientsThe Corporation is currently evaluating how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations.

NOTE 2 Discontinued Operations

During September 2014, the Corporation made a strategic decision to exit the recreational vehicle industry in order to focus on its core housing business. 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 assets of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction include, but are 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; and

 

   

Customer purchase orders and contracts, customer lists, and supplier lists.

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; and

 

   

Evergreen had the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the raw material inventory at 50 percent of the Corporation’s cost of approximately $1,631,000. Consequently, the Corporation incurred an approximate $910,000 charge in fiscal 2015 reflecting the reduction in value of the inventory plus inventory that will not be used by Evergreen. The Corporation received approximately $721,000 for inventory used by Evergreen.

In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement Evergreen will not assume or agree to pay, perform, or discharge any of the Corporation’s 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.

NOTE 2 Discontinued Operations — (Continued)

 

For fiscal 2016, Operating loss of discontinued operations is primarily the result of a charge for future warranty claim payments. For fiscal 2015, Loss on disposal of discontinued operations consisted of a $910,000 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 Corporation’s 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.

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 carried an interest rate of 6 percent per annum, required monthly payments following a 20 year amortization schedule, and provided for a final payment after 6 years. The two facilities were collateral for the note. The note was fully repaid in December 2014.

 

NOTE 5 Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, an idle housing facility located in Ocala, Florida was sold for a gain of $243,000.

 

NOTE 6 Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies which totaled $6,885,000 and $6,677,000 at May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

At May 31, 2016, the total current obligation for warranty and related expenses associated with discontinued operations is estimated to be $150,000 as compared $642,000 at May 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 8 Life Insurance Loans

Life insurance loans have no fixed repayment schedule, and have interest rates ranging from 4.2 percent to 7.4 percent. The weighted average interest rate is 5.2 percent. Prepaid interest associated with the life insurance loans totaled approximately $88,000 at May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, respectively; which is recorded in Other current assets.

 

NOTE 9 Customer Concentration

During fiscal 2016, net sales of homes and park models to Sun Home Services, Inc. totaled approximately $22,231,000 or 10 percent of total net sales. During fiscal 2015, net sales to this customer totaled $20,187,000 or 11 percent of total net sales. No other individual customer in fiscal 2016 and 2015 had net sales greater than 10 percent of net total sales.

 

NOTE 10 Income Taxes

The Corporation had no federal and state income tax benefit or expense for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015.

The difference between the Corporation’s statutory federal income tax rate of 34 percent in fiscal 2016 and 2015, and the effective income tax rate is due primarily to state income taxes and changes in deferred tax assets valuation allowance and are as follows:

At May 31, 2016, the Corporation had gross federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $95 million and gross state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $102 million. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards have a life expectancy of between twelve and twenty years. The state net operating loss carryforwards have a life expectancy, depending on the state where a loss was incurred, between one 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. For fiscal 2016, the Corporation reported the utilization of previously fully-reserved federal net operating loss carryforwards of $695,000 and state operating loss carryforwards of $191,000 and released corresponding amounts of the valuation allowance to offset federal and state income tax expense.

Income tax returns are filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several state jurisdictions. For the majority of taxing jurisdictions the Corporation is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2012. The Corporation did not incur any interest or penalties related to income tax matters in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

The Corporation has no unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements during fiscal years 2016 and 2015, and does not expect any significant changes related to unrecognized tax benefits in the twelve months following May 31, 2016.

NOTE 11 Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation was contingently liable at May 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 recreational vehicle 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 Corporation’s independent dealers.

The maximum potential repurchase liability for continuing and discontinued operations, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was approximately $25 million at May 31, 2016 and approximately $60 million at May 31, 2015. At May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, the maximum potential repurchase liability, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, associated with discontinued operations was approximately $0.2 million and $19 million, respectively. As a result of favorable experience regarding repurchased units, which is largely due to the strength of dealers selling the Corporation’s products, the Corporation maintained at May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, a $100,000 loss reserve that is a component of other accrued liabilities. 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 May 31, 2016 will not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

The amounts of obligations from repurchased units, all of which were from discontinued operations, and incurred net losses for the periods presented are as follows:

 

     Year ended May 31,  
     2016      2015  
     (Dollars in thousands)  

Number of units repurchased

     6         42   

Obligations from units repurchased

   $ 115       $ 689   

Net losses on repurchased units

   $ 50       $ 177   

The Corporation is a party to various pending legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management believes that any losses resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

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 12 Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On March 20, 2015, the Corporation (“Borrower(s)”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with First Business Capital Corp. (“First Business Capital”). Under the Loan Agreement, First Business Capital will provide a secured revolving credit facility to the Borrowers for a term of three years, renewable on an annual basis thereafter with each renewal for a successive one-year term. The Corporation may obtain loan advances up to a maximum of $10,000,000 subject to certain collateral-obligation ratios. In addition,

 

34


Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 

NOTE 12 Secured Revolving Credit Facility — (Continued)

 

loan advances bear interest at 3.75% in excess of The Wall Street Journal’s published one year LIBOR rate, and are secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets, now owned or hereafter acquired. Interest is payable monthly, in arrears, and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable upon termination of the Loan Agreement. First Business Capital also agreed under the Loan Agreement to issue, or cause to be issued by a bank affiliate or other bank, letters of credit for the account of the Corporation. However, no advances have yet been made in connection with such letters of credit.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Corporation on two occasions did not meet a covenant requiring a monthly loss not exceeding $500,000. Consequently, the Corporation received in the second quarter a waiver of the defaults that occurred. In addition, the following modifications were made to the Loan Agreement.

 

   

A covenant specifying that a monthly loss not exceed $500,000 was modified to $1,500,000 for December 2015, $1,000,000 for January 2016, and $1,000,000 for February, 2016. Following February 2016, the maximum monthly net loss as noted in the original Loan Agreement returns to $500,000 for March to May 2016, and $250,000 thereafter;

 

   

The limit for the lease, purchase or acquisition of any asset increased from $600,000 per year to $800,000 per year; and

 

   

The monthly bank assessment fee increased from .25% per annum to .35% per annum.

Subsequent to May 31, 2016, additional amendments were made to the Loan Agreement:

 

   

An increase in the capital expenditure limit for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 from $800,000 in the aggregate to $1,250,000 in the aggregate;

 

   

An increase in the capital expenditure limit for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2017 from $800,000 in the aggregate to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. In the absence of any subsequent amendment, the capital expenditure limit for subsequent fiscal years shall remain at $800,000 in the aggregate per fiscal year; and

 

   

A covenant specifying that a monthly net loss in fiscal 2017 not exceed $250,000 was increased to $500,000 for June 2016, $1,000,000 for July 2016, and $1,000,000 for December 2016. Such increases will be effective only for the months identified. In the absence of any subsequent amendment, the maximum monthly net loss for all other months of fiscal year 2017 and thereafter remain at $250,000.

Except as provided herein, the Loan Agreement and all other loan documentation related thereto shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Corporation was in compliance with Loan Agreement covenants as of May 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 13 Stock-Based Compensation

On June 25, 2015, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which allows the granting of stock options and other equity awards to directors, officers, employees, and eligible independent contractors of the Corporation and is intended to retain and reward key employees’ performance and efforts as they relate to the Corporation’s long-term objectives and strategic plan. The Plan was subsequently approved by shareholders at the Corporation’s annual shareholder meeting on September 21, 2015. A total of 700,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to, or greater than, the market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant and vest over a period of time as determined by the Corporation at the date of grant up to the contractual ten year life of the options, at which time the options expire.

During fiscal 2016, the Corporation granted 225,000 stock options at a weighted average exercise price per share of $3.28 and a weighted average grant-date fair value per share of $2.19 with a five year vesting period.

NOTE 13 Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options vested during fiscal 2016 was approximately $82,000. There were no stock options that were either forfeited or expired during fiscal 2016.

At May 31, 2016, the intrinsic value of all options outstanding approximated $1,584,000 and had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately nine years. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding at May 31, 2016 was $409,000 and is to be recorded over a weighted-average life of approximately four years.

The Corporation records all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

The Corporation currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by stock price as well as assumptions that include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected life of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.

The fair value of the options granted during fiscal 2016 were estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Volatility

     55.8

Risk-free interest rate

     2.22

Expected option life in years

     9.72   

Dividend yield

     0

Volatility is estimated based on historical volatility measured monthly for a time period equal to the expected life of the option ending on the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is determined based on observed U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for maturities equivalent to the expected life of the options. The expected option life (estimated average period of time the options will be outstanding) is estimated based on the expected exercise date of the options. The expected dividend yield of zero is estimated based on the dividend yield at the time of grant as adjusted for any expected changes during the life of the options.

 

NOTE 14 Treasury Stock

The Corporation’s Board of directors from time to time has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, in the open market or through negotiated transactions, at such times and at such prices as management may decide. In fiscal 2016 and 2015, the Corporation did not acquire any shares of its common stock.

 

NOTE 15 401(K) Plan

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 provide a matching contribution to the 401(k) Plan, but can make discretionary profit sharing contributions. No profit sharing contributions were made in fiscal 2016 and 2015.

 

NOTE 16 Retirement and Death Benefit Plans

The Corporation has entered into various arrangements with certain employees or former employees for benefits to be paid in the following manner:

 

   

to an employee’s estate in the event of death

 

   

an employee in the event of retirement or disability to be paid over 10 years beginning at the date of retirement or disability

 

   

in the event of death, the employee’s beneficiary will receive the balance due the employee

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of May 31, 2016, the Corporation conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the period ended May 31, 2016 to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.

Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. 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 in the United States.

The Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting includes 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 Corporation’s assets; (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 the Corporation’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management of the Corporation has assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (Original Framework).

Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting, and testing of the operational effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financing reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2016. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
