Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three-month period ended August 31, 1997

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
August 31, 1997, the consolidated results of operations for the
three-month periods ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated
cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1997 and 1996.

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 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.

The financial data included herein has been subjected to a limited review
by Price Waterhouse LLP, the registrant's independent accountants, whose
report is included on page 7 of this filing.

Inventories are stated at cost, determined under the first-in, first-out
method, which is not in excess of market. Physical inventory counts are
taken at the end of each reporting quarter.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries were contingently liable at August
31, 1997 under agreements to purchase repossessed units on floor plan
financing made by financial institutions to its customers. Losses, if
any, would be the difference between repossession cost and the resale
value of the units. There have been no material losses in past years
under these agreements, and none are anticipated in the future.

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.

In the first six months of calendar 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued three statements of financial accounting
standards pertaining to earnings per share, reporting comprehensive
income, and disclosures about segments of an enterprise. The
Corporation has determined that the effects on the financial statements
from the adoption of these accounting standards will not be material.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
Report of Independent Accountants

September 15, 1997

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Skyline Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
August 31, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of earnings and
retained earnings for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1997
and 1996 and of cash flows of Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary
Companies. This financial information is the responsibility of the
company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression
of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings and
of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in
our report dated June 16, 1997 we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of May 31, 1997, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

Skyline Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations for the Current Quarter Compared to the Same
Quarter Last Year

Sales in the quarter ended August 31, 1997 amounted to $161,632,000, a
5.8 percent decrease from $171,536,000 in the comparable quarter of the
prior year. Manufactured housing sales decreased 7.4 percent to
$133,150,000 in 1997 compared to $143,724,000 in 1996. Manufactured
housing unit sales decreased to 4,561 compared to 5,075 in 1996.
Reduced sales in this business segment is consistent with an overall
slowdown in the manufactured housing industry that began in late 1996.
Recreational vehicle sales increased 2.4 percent to $28,482,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $27,812,000 for the same
period last year. Recreational vehicle unit sales increased to 2,294
compared to 2,234 in 1996.

Cost of sales in the first quarter increased to 82.3 percent of sales
compared with 81.5 percent in 1996. The increase in costs is due to
the larger proportion of fixed and semi-fixed costs resulting from the
decreased sales volume.

Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter were 12.9
percent of sales compared with 13.1 percent in 1996. The decrease is
primarily due to a reduction in marketing expenses during the period.

Interest income amounted to $1,473,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to $1,626,000 one year earlier. Interest income is
directly related to the amount available for investment and the
prevailing yields of U.S. Government securities.

Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes approximates the statutory rate
and for state income taxes reflects current state rates effective for
the period based upon activities within the taxable entities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At August 31, 1997 cash and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury
Bills and Notes totaled $117,990,000, an increase of $7,493,000 from
$110,497,000 at May 31, 1997. Current assets exclusive of cash and
investments in U.S. Treasury Bills totaled $63,990,000 at August 31,
1997, a increase of $1,959,000 from the balance at May 31, 1997 of
$62,031,000. A rise in the amount of trade accounts receivable
($1,333,000) and inventories ($664,000) was the principal reason for
the increase. Current liabilities increased $4,959,000 from May 31,
1997 to $43,545,000 at August 31, 1997. This change is mainly due to
increases in accrued marketing programs ($5,139,000) and income taxes
($2,953,000); along with decreases in accrued profit sharing
($1,894,000), other accrued liabilities ($854,000), and accrued
salaries and wages ($636,000). Working capital at August 31, 1997
amounted to $138,435,000 compared to $133,942,000 at May 31, 1997.
Capital expenditures totaled $541,000 in the first three months of
fiscal 1998 compared to $589,000 in the first three months of the prior
year. Capital expenditures during the current fiscal year were made
primarily to replace or refurbish machinery and equipment and increase
manufacturing efficiencies. The cash provided by operating activities
in fiscal 1998 is expected to be adequate to fund any capital
expenditures and treasury stock purchases during the year.
Historically, the Corporation's financing needs have been met through
funds generated internally.

Other Matters

The consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect
transactions in the dollar values in which they were incurred and,
therefore, do not attempt to measure the impact of inflation. However,
the Corporation believes that inflation has not had a material effect
on its operations during the past three years. On a long-term basis
the Corporation has demonstrated an ability to adjust the selling
prices of its products in reaction to changing costs due to inflation.
