Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 Basis of Presentation

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 February 29, 2016, the consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, and consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation’s 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, 2015 and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain prior period amounts related to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 2 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 will examine ASU 2016-02 to determine its 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.

NOTE 2 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — (Continued)

 

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 will examine this pronouncement to determine its effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will impact its footnote disclosures.

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. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations.

NOTE 3 Management’s Plan

The Corporation’s 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 during certain periods, the Corporation has historically experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. The level of historical negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, management determined that certain strategies need to be pursued.

NOTE 3 Management’s Plan — (Continued)

 

These strategies include but are not limited to:

Increasing Sales

Management is investigating strategies to expand our current market position relative to Real Estate Investment Trusts and other customers who are in the Manufactured Housing Community and Recreational Resort business. We continue to explore other market niches where we believe our products provide a valuable housing alternative to apartments or conventional site built homes.

Management is engaged in reviewing our current Marketing Strategies used to reach the end consumer of our products. We expect to launch an improved Web site and social media portfolio designed to reach more consumers and highlight the value of Skyline products and service. In addition, our internet marketing strategy has been calibrated to benefit retail customers who are currently underrepresented by our traditional distribution channels with no downside to our existing dealers and communities.

Management has empowered each of the company’s Operating Divisions to develop products which meet consumer expectations for design and features within their respective market regions. We believe that this new approach to product development will further enhance our ability to reach more consumers and capture additional market share.

Management has expanded the number of Operating Divisions which produce our popular Shore Park brand of recreational park models from three to eight. Management believes that we can improve top line revenue appreciably for each of our divisions with the addition of these popular products.

Decreasing Costs

Management has been, and continues to be, actively engaged in driving material costs lower by more effectively controlling material costs during the procurement and manufacturing process.

Management is undergoing a detailed review of all current pricing strategies and market programs and plans to introduce new initiatives designed to increase, recognize, and reward Dealer commitment and sales growth.

NOTE 4 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.

At February 29, 2016, the total current warranty obligation associated with the discontinued recreational vehicle segment is approximately $62,000.

NOTE 8 Income Taxes

At February 29, 2016, the Corporation’s gross deferred tax assets of approximately $49.8 million consist of approximately $34.5 million in federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, $8.0 million in state net operating loss carryforwards and $7.3 million resulting from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. 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 the nine months ended February 29, 2016, the Corporation reported the utilization of previously fully-reserved federal net operating loss carryforwards of $17,000 and state operating loss carryforwards of $97,000 and released corresponding amounts of the valuation allowance to offset federal and state income tax expense.

NOTE 9 Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation was contingently liable at February 29, 2016 and May 31, 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.

NOTE 9 Commitments and Contingencies — (Continued)

 

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 $48 million at February 29, 2016 and approximately $60 million at May 31, 2015. At February 29, 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 $8 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 February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015, a $100,000 loss reserve that is a component of other accrued liabilities. Management believes that the Corporation’s exit from the recreational vehicle business will not materially 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 February 29, 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 reported are as follows:

 

     Nine-Months Ended  
     February 29,

     February 28,

Obligations from units repurchased

   $ —         $ 203   

Net losses on repurchased units

   $ —         $ 43   

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 10 Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On March 20, 2015, the Corporation 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.

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.

The Corporation was in compliance with Loan Agreement covenants as of February 29, 2016.

NOTE 11 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 the nine months ended February 29, 2016, the Corporation granted 200,000 and 25,000 stock options at a weighted average exercise price per share of $3.28 with a five year vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options vested during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2016 was approximately $22,000 and $57,000, respectively.

NOTE 11 Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)

 

At February 29, 2016, the intrinsic value of all options outstanding approximated $169,000 and had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately nine years. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding at February 29, 2016 was $434,000 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 the nine months ended February 29, 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.

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 nine manufacturing facilities in eight 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.

Manufactured Housing, Modular Housing and Park Model Industry Conditions

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.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On March 20, 2015, the Corporation 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

    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.

The Corporation was in compliance with Loan Agreement covenants as of February 29, 2016.

Management’s Plan

The Corporation’s 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 during certain periods, the Corporation has historically experienced negative cash flows from operating activities.

The level of historical negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, management determined that certain strategies need to be pursued. These strategies include but are not limited to:

Increasing Sales

Management is investigating strategies to expand our current market position relative to Real Estate Investment Trusts and other customers who are in the Manufactured Housing Community and Recreational Resort business. We continue to explore other market niches where we believe our products provide a valuable housing alternative to apartments or conventional site built homes.

Management is engaged in reviewing our current Marketing Strategies used to reach the end consumer of our products. We expect to launch an improved Web site and social media portfolio designed to reach more consumers and highlight the value of Skyline products and service. In addition, our internet marketing strategy has been calibrated to benefit retail customers who are currently underrepresented by our traditional distribution channels with no downside to our existing dealers and communities.

Management has empowered each of the company’s Operating Divisions to develop products which meet consumer expectations for design and features within their respective market regions. We believe that this new approach to product development will further enhance our ability to reach more consumers and capture additional market share.

Management has expanded the number of Operating Divisions which produce our popular Shore Park brand of recreational park models from three to eight. Management believes that we can improve top line revenue appreciably for each of our divisions with the addition of these popular products.

Decreasing Costs

Management has been, and continues to be, actively engaged in driving material costs lower by more effectively controlling material costs during the procurement process.

Management is undergoing a detailed review of all current pricing strategies and market programs and plans to introduce new initiatives designed to increase, recognize, and reward Dealer commitment and sales growth.

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 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 will examine ASU 2016-02 to determine its 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 will examine this pronouncement to determine its effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will impact its footnote disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — (Continued)

 

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. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations.

Compared to the prior year, the average net sales price for manufactured and modular housing decreased 6.1 percent and 7.8 percent, respectively. The decrease primarily results from the sale of homes with smaller square footage and fewer amenities. The average net sales price for park models is relatively unchanged.

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in sales-based compensation and performance-based compensation; which was partially 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 $176,000 in the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses declined due to certain costs remaining fixed amid rising sales.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $55,000 and $92,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to interest on life insurance policy loans. Interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 included $19,000 of amortization of debt financing costs and $4,000 of interest expense associated with the secured revolving credit facility.

Net sales increased 12.9 percent. The increase was comprised of a 16.4 percent increase in manufactured housing net sales, a 2.0 percent increase in modular housing net sales, and a 6.5 percent decrease in park model net sales.

For the nine-month periods ending on the following dates, the percentage increase or decrease in unit shipments from the comparable period last year are as follows:

 

     February 29, 2016     January 31, 2016  
     Skyline     Industry  

Manufactured Housing

     15.7     9.9

Modular Housing

     3.2     Not available   

Park Models

     (6.9 %)      (6.4 %) 

Total

     12.2     Not applicable   

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.

Compared to the prior year, the average net sales price for manufactured housing and park models is relatively unchanged. The average net sales price for modular housing decreased 1.2 percent as a result of homes sold with small square footage and fewer amenities.

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

Selling and administrative expenses

   $ 16,105         10.4       $ 15,347         11.2       $ 758   

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of increased salaries, wages, sales-based compensation, performance-based compensation and increased marketing costs; which was partially 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 $237,000 in the same period last year. In addition, the Corporation benefited from a $250,000 final payment received in the second quarter on an account that had previously been fully reserved. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses declined due to certain costs remaining fixed amid rising sales.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $167,000 and $279,000 for the for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to interest on life insurance policy loans. Interest expense in the for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 included $58,000 of amortization of debt financing costs and $11,000 of interest expense associated with the secured revolving credit facility.

     Increase  
     (Unaudited)         
     (Dollars in thousands)  

Cash

   $ 6,260       $ 4,995       $ 1,265   

Current assets, exclusive of cash

   $ 25,834       $ 26,586       $ (752

Current liabilities

   $ 14,956       $ 15,117       $ (161

Working capital

   $ 17,138       $ 16,464       $ 674   

As noted in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash increased due to cash flow from operating activities increasing $1,626,000 and cash flow from investing activities decreasing $361,000. Current assets, exclusive of cash, decreased mainly due to a $2,550,000 decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by a $1,804,000 increase in inventories. Accounts receivable declined as a result of the timing of payments from dealers and communities at February 29, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015. Inventories increased as a result of increased production and homes awaiting shipment to dealers and communities at February 29, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015.

Current liabilities decreased primarily as a result of a $652,000 decrease in accounts payable, a $401,000 decrease in accrued salaries and wages, a $575,000 increase in accrued marketing programs, and a $244,000 increase in accrued warranty. Accounts payable and accrued salaries and wages decreased due to the timing of payments to vendors and employees at February 29, 2016 as compared to May 31, 2015. Accrued marketing programs increased as a result of accruals for an ongoing marketing program for manufactured housing dealers. Accruals are made monthly, and the majority of payments are made during the Corporation’s fourth fiscal quarter. Accrued warranty increased primarily due to increased unit sales in fiscal 2016.

Capital expenditures totaled $312,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 as compared to $178,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2015.

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 since it will not be funding significant operating losses.

As noted in “Management’s Plan”, the Corporation is aggressively pursuing strategies in order to increase sales and decrease costs. Management believes that it will be able to execute its strategies as noted above. Management is prepared to modify these strategies as appropriate to meet prevailing business and market conditions.

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 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 the Corporation’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.
