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 March 4, 2018, in addition to the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 4, 2018 and February 28, 2017. Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation’s business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. Effective June 1, 2017, the Corporation adopted a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday which is nearest to the last day of May in each year. Consequently, there were 91 days and 90 days in the three-month periods ended March 4, 2018 and February 28, 2017, respectively. In addition, there were 276 and 273 days in the nine-month periods ended March 4, 2018 and February 28, 2017, respectively.

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, 2017, 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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). 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 several ASU’s that update or clarify the new rules. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted.

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. Using this principle, a comprehensive framework was established for determining how much revenue to recognize and when it should be recognized. To be consistent with this core principle, an entity is required to apply the following five-step approach:

•

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

•

Identify each performance obligation in the contract;

•

Determine the transaction price;

•

Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

•

Recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Corporation’s revenue comes substantially from the sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models, along with freight billed to customers, parts sold and aftermarket services.

NOTE 1

Basis of Presentation — (Continued)

Recently issued accounting pronouncements — (continued) The Corporation is currently evaluating how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations by applying the five-step approach to each revenue stream. At this time, material changes resulting from this adoption are not anticipated with the modified retrospective method being utilized.

The Corporation, however, does expect to greatly increase the amount of required disclosures, including but not limited to:

•

Disaggregation of revenue in to categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors;

•

The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers, if not otherwise separately presented or disclosed;

•

Revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period;

•

Information about performance obligations in contracts with customers; and

•

Judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, including the timing of satisfaction of performance obligation, and the transaction price and the amounts allocation to performance obligations.

NOTE 5

Life Insurance Loans

Life insurance loans have no fixed repayment schedule, and have interest rates ranging from 4.2 percent to 4.8 percent. The weighted average interest rate is 4.5 percent. In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2018, all loan balances totaling $4,312,000 were repaid.

NOTE 6

Income Taxes

At March 4, 2018, the Corporation’s deferred tax assets of approximately $32.0 million consist of approximately $20.1 million in federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, $7.2 million in state net operating loss carryforwards and $4.7 million resulting from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards have a useful life ranging from ten to twenty years. The state net operating loss carryforwards have a useful life, depending on the state where a loss was incurred, ranging from one to twenty years. The Corporation has revalued the deferred tax account balances in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted December 22, 2017. The revaluation resulted in a $14.6 million decrease in both the net deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance account balances. 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.

The Corporation had no federal and state income tax benefit or expense for the quarters ended March 4, 2018 and February 28, 2017. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation reported the utilization of previously fully-reserved federal net operating loss carryforwards of $1,775,000 and state operating loss carryforwards of $412,000 and released corresponding amounts of the valuation allowance to offset federal and state income tax expense.

NOTE 7

Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation was contingently liable at March 4, 2018 and May 31, 2017, under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing for dealers of its products. Under these arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing and park model 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, without reduction for the resale value of the repurchased units, was approximately $29 million at March 4, 2018 and $30 million at May 31, 2017. As a result of the Corporation’s favorable experience regarding repurchased units, which is largely due to the strength of dealers selling the Corporation’s products, the Corporation maintained at March 4, 2018 and May 31, 2017, 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 March 4, 2018 will not be material to its financial position or results of operations. There were no obligations or incurred net losses from repurchased units for the nine-month periods ended March 4, 2018 and February 28, 2017.

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.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Item 1.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)

NOTE 8

Secured Revolving Credit Facility — (Continued)

The Corporation was able to obtain loan advances up to a maximum of $10,000,000 subject to certain collateral-obligation ratios. On July 21, 2017, the Corporation terminated the Loan Agreement in connection with its entry into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) having terms more favorable to the Corporation. As of the date of termination, the Corporation did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Corporation did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement.

As previously referenced, the Corporation (the “Loan Parties,” and Skyline Corporation and Skyline Homes, Inc., the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chase and other ancillary agreements and documents, including a Security Agreement and Patent and Trademark Security Agreement (collectively referred to along with the Agreement as the “Loan Documents”). Under the Agreement, Chase will provide a three-year revolving credit facility with loan advances to the Borrowers of up to a maximum of $10,000,000, subject to a borrowing base set forth in the Agreement (the “New Facility”). Loan advances bear interest at either 50 basis points above Chase’s floating prime rate (“CBFR”) or 150 basis points in excess of the LIBOR rate for the applicable period (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”). Loans are secured by the Loan Parties’ assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except for real property and any life insurance policies owned by any Borrower on the effective date of the Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears on a monthly basis in the case of the CBFR or at the end of the applicable interest rate in the case of the Adjusted LIBO Rate, and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable at the maturity of the New Facility. Borrowers may at any time prepay in whole or in part any loan amounts, subject to minimum amounts and breakage costs.

Also, under the Agreement, Chase agreed to issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrowers not to exceed $500,000. No advances have yet been made in connection with such letters of credit.

As part of the closing of the financing, the Company paid Chase a closing fee of $25,000 plus legal and due diligence costs. The Loan Parties also agreed to pay the following fees to Chase during the term of the New Facility: (i) a commitment fee payable in arrears at a rate of .25% per annum on the average daily amount of the available revolving commitment under the New Facility during the prior calendar month; and (ii) monthly letter of credit fees payable in arrears at the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate on the outstanding amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding during the prior month.

The Loan Documents contain covenants that limit the ability of the Loan Parties to, among other things: (i) incur other indebtedness; (ii) create or incur liens on their assets; (iii) consummate asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers; (iv) pay dividends; (v) make certain investments; (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and (vii) amend a Loan Party’s articles of incorporation or bylaws.

The Agreement also requires compliance with a financial covenant involving a fixed charge coverage ratio as set forth in the Agreement, which becomes effective when borrowing on the revolving credit facility is outstanding.

NOTE 8

Secured Revolving Credit Facility— (Continued)

If the Borrowers default in their obligations under the Agreement, then the unpaid balances will bear interest at 2.0% per annum in excess of the rate that would apply in the absence of a default.

Other remedies available to Chase upon an event of default include the right to accelerate the maturity of all obligations, the right to foreclose on and otherwise repossess the collateral securing the obligations, and all other rights set forth in the Loan Documents.

The events of default under the Agreement include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency; (ii) failure to make required payments; (iii) misrepresentations to Chase; (iv) failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements; (v) changes in control; and (vi) a material adverse change occurs.

The Corporation was in compliance as of March 4, 2018 with covenants associated with the Agreement.

NOTE 9

Stock-Based Compensation

In fiscal 2016, the Corporation’s Board of Directors and shareholders 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. 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 at which time the options expire. Restricted stock awards are priced no less than 100 percent of market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant, and the awards made to date fully vest after five years. Stock options and restricted stock awards immediately vest upon the closing of change in control events (See Note 12).

Vested		(54,800	)		2.35

Non-vested options at March 4, 2018		231,200		$	3.51

Stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was approximately $53,000 and $39,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was approximately $158,000 and $101,000, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options outstanding at March 4, 2018 was approximately $698,000 and is to be recorded over a weighted-average life of 2.90 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.

NOTE 9

Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)

The fair value of the options granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017 were estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:


	2018			2017
Volatility		65.9	%		64.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.13	%		2.14	%
Expected option life in years		7.50			7.50
Dividend yield		0	%		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.

Restricted Stock – In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Corporation issued 36,000 shares and 15,000 shares of restricted stock valued at approximately $221,000 and $216,000, respectively. No restricted stock was vested at March 4, 2018, and the non-vested shares had a weighted average grant date fair value of $8.58 per share. The value was determined using the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant. The restricted stock’s value is to be expensed over a five-year vesting period using a straight-line method. Compensation expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2018 was approximately $22,000 and $62,000, respectively. Compensation expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $6,000. Unrecognized compensation expense at March 4, 2018 was approximately $358,000.

NOTE 10

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 common 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.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants — (Continued)

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Skyline is subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions which restrict its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to and engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to receiving approval of the Company Shareholder Approval Matters by Skyline’s shareholders, Skyline may, under certain circumstances, provide information to and participate in discussions with third parties with respect to certain unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals as provided in the Exchange Agreement.

The Exchange Agreement provides that, prior to the closing of the Exchange, Skyline may declare and pay a special cash dividend to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of Skyline’s “net cash” (generally defined in the Exchange Agreement as Skyline’s aggregate cash and cash equivalents, less the aggregate amount of Skyline’s indebtedness and debt-like items, and less Skyline’s aggregate transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Exchange, each as determined as of the close of business on the last business day immediately prior to the date Skyline gives notice of the special dividend to the NYSE American), if any. If declared, Skyline must pay the special dividend at least one business day prior to the closing date.

Closing Conditions

Consummation of the Exchange is subject to various conditions, including, without limitation, (i) approval by Skyline’s shareholders of the Company Shareholder Approval Matters; (ii) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals (without the imposition of any burdensome divestiture condition on the parties, as described in the Exchange Agreement); (iii) the absence of any law, order, or legal injunction which prohibits the consummation of the Exchange and the absence of certain other litigation matters; (iv) the NYSE American listing application for the Company’s shares to be issued in the Shares Issuance shall have been conditionally approved; (v) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties and the performance of their respective obligations; (vi) the absence of the occurrence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of Skyline and Champion Holdings, and their subsidiaries, each taken as a whole, between the date of the Exchange Agreement and closing; and (vii) certain other customary conditions.

Termination and Termination Fees — (Continued)

Any termination fee triggered under the Exchange Agreement will accrue upon Skyline entering into or closing another acquisition transaction within 12 months after termination, but the fee is not payable by Skyline to Champion Holdings until two business days after the date that the other acquisition closes or is terminated unless the board of directors of Skyline adversely changes its favorable recommendation of the Exchange to its shareholders and Champion Holdings terminates the Exchange Agreement as a result of such change in recommendation, in which case, a termination fee of $3 million in cash is immediately due and payable by Skyline to Champion Holdings upon such termination, and if Skyline subsequently enters into or closes another acquisition transaction within 12 months after termination, an additional $7 million cash termination fee would accrue and would become payable two business days after the date that the other acquisition closes or is terminated.

In addition to the termination fee, if the Exchange Agreement is terminated by either Skyline or Champion Holdings because of Skyline’s shareholders do not approve the Company Shareholder Approval Matters, then Skyline must pay Champion Holdings $2 million as reimbursement for fees and expenses incurred by Champion Holdings in connection with the Exchange Agreement. Any expense reimbursement paid by Skyline will be credited against, and thereby reduce, any termination fee that may become due and payable.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Established in 1951 and headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, the Corporation designs, produces and markets manufactured housing, modular housing and park models. The Company sells its products to independent dealers, developers, campgrounds and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States and Canada.

Manufactured housing products are built according to standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Modular homes are built according to state, provincial or local building codes. Park models are built according to specifications established by the American National Standards Institute, and are intended to provide temporary living accommodations for individuals seeking leisure travel and outdoor recreation.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations — (Continued).

Overview — (Continued)

To better serve the needs of its dealers, developers, campgrounds and communities, the Corporation has eight manufacturing facilities located in San Jacinto, California, Woodland, California, Ocala, Florida, Arkansas City, Kansas, Sugarcreek, Ohio, McMinnville, Oregon, Leola, Pennsylvania and Lancaster, Wisconsin. 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, 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.

Manufactured Housing, Modular Housing and Park Model Industry Conditions

New home sales and the overall housing market is subject to seasonal swings. Typically, the demand for our primary product, single family housing, is highest in the spring and summer months and like the general housing market is lower in the winter months. Likewise, the production and sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models can be affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporation’s northern plants. Demand for park models, used primarily for vacation and retirement living often offsets slower single-family homes sales during the winter months.

Although the overall demand for new homes is rising, our industry’s products still do not enjoy the favorable financing options afforded conventional site-built homes. Industry trade associations at the state and national level are working to improve legislation to make available more favorable financing options for affordable home buyers. Government Sponsored Enterprises’ Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation recently released their “Underserved Markets Plan” that describes specifically their three-year plan to meet the “Duty to Serve” obligations as outlined in the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as further amended by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The creation and expansion of a secondary chattel loan market could have a positive effect on the demand for affordable manufactured housing as more favorable finance options are made available.

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 (Manufactured Housing and Modular Housing Industry shipments provided by Manufactured Housing Institute and Hallahan Associates, Park Model Industry shipments provided by Recreational Vehicle Industry Association):

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 provided 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 was able to obtain loan advances up to a maximum of $10,000,000 subject to certain collateral-obligation ratios. On July 21, 2017, the Corporation terminated the Loan Agreement in connection with its entry into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) having terms more favorable to the Corporation. As of the date of termination, the Corporation did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Corporation did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement.

Loan advances bear interest at either 50 basis points above Chase’s floating prime rate (“CBFR”) or 150 basis points in excess of the LIBOR rate for the applicable period (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”). Loans are secured by the Loan Parties’ assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except for real property and any life insurance policies owned by any Borrower on the effective date of the Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears on a monthly basis in the case of the CBFR or at the end of the applicable interest rate in the case of the Adjusted LIBO Rate, and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable at the maturity of the New Facility. Borrowers may at any time prepay in whole or in part any loan amounts, subject to minimum amounts and breakage costs.

Also, under the Agreement, Chase agreed to issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrowers not to exceed $500,000. No advances have yet been made in connection with such letters of credit.

Item 2.

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

Secured Revolving Credit Facility— (Continued)

If the Borrowers default in their obligations under the Agreement, then the unpaid balances will bear interest at 2.0% per annum in excess of the rate that would apply in the absence of a default. Other remedies available to Chase upon an event of default include the right to accelerate the maturity of all obligations, the right to foreclose on and otherwise repossess the collateral securing the obligations, and all other rights set forth in the Loan Documents.

The Corporation was in compliance as of March 4, 2018 with covenants associated with the Agreement.

Share Contribution and Exchange Agreement

The Exchange

On January 5, 2018, the Corporation (“Skyline” or the “Company”) and Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”) entered into a Share Contribution & Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the two companies will combine their operations. Under the Exchange Agreement, (i) Champion Holdings will contribute to Skyline all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Champion Holdings’ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries through the contribution of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CHB”), and CHB International B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (“CIBV”) (the shares of stock of CHB and CIBV to be contributed to Skyline, the “Contributed Shares”), and (ii) in exchange for the Contributed Shares, Skyline will issue to Champion Holdings that number of shares of Skyline common stock, $0.0277 par value per share, such that at the closing, Champion Holdings (or its members) will hold 84.5%, and Skyline’s shareholders will hold 15.5%, of the common stock of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Shares Issuance”).

Total Unit Shipments		989		100.0		974		100.0		15

Net sales increased approximately 12.3 percent mainly due to increased customer demand and higher average selling prices of manufactured housing products at multiple facilities. In particular, the Arkansas City, Kansas and Lancaster, Wisconsin facilities sold 96 manufactured homes constructed to Federal Emergency Management Agency, “FEMA”, specifications for approximately $5,000,000. These homes were sold to an authorized FEMA contractor. This overall increase was partially offset by prior period net sales including $7,573,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities which closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

Modular housing net sales increased as a result of multiple facilities also experiencing increased customer demand for this product. Park model net sales rose as a result of Management’s initiative to increase this product’s exposure at substantially all of the Corporation’s facilities.

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

Results of Operations – Three-Month Period Ended March 4, 2018 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 — (Continued).

Net Sales and Unit Shipments — (Continued)

Compared to the prior year, the average net sales price for manufactured housing, modular housing and park models increased 11.5, 2.0 and 9.7 percent, respectively, primarily as a result of price increases and product sold with greater square footage and additional amenities.

Cost of Sales

	(Unaudited)
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Cost of Sales	$	49,832		85.9	$	48,421		93.8	$	1,411

Cost of sales, in dollars, increased primarily as a result of increased net sales. This increase was partially offset by prior year costs including $8,087,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities that closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased primarily due to improvements in material cost, labor and manufacturing expenses as the result of product mix, operational improvements and certain costs being fixed amid higher sales. In addition, the cost of sales percentage decreased due to the adverse effect in prior year of the Elkhart and Mansfield facilities.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

	(Dollars in thousands)
Selling and administrative expenses	$	6,913		11.9	$	5,581		10.8	$	1,332

The increase in selling and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in sales and profit based compensation, and approximately $1,013,000 in non-recurring costs associated with the pending merger with Champion Holdings. Sales and profit based compensation increased due to improved sales and financial results. Prior period expenses included $431,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities that closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses rose due primarily to the non-recurring merger costs.

Total Unit Shipments		2,983		100.0		3,353		100.0		(370	)

Total net sales decreased approximately 1.6 percent. The Corporation’s facilities experienced a year over year increase in manufactured housing net sales of $11,535,000, or 9.1 percent, resulting from increased customer demand and higher average selling prices. This increase was offset by prior period net manufactured housing sales including $20,866,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities which closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Included in the current year increase was the sale of 96 manufactured homes in the third quarter constructed to Federal Emergency Management Agency, “FEMA”, specifications for approximately $5,000,000.

Net Sales and Unit Shipments — (Continued)

These homes, built by the Arkansas City, Kansas and Lancaster, Wisconsin facilities, were sold to an authorized FEMA contractor.

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


	March 4, 2018 Skyline			January 31, 2018 Industry
Manufactured Housing		(15.9	%)		12.4	%
Modular Housing		14.0	%		Not Available
Park Models		13.4	%		8.1	%
Total		(11.0	%)		Not Available

Compared to the prior year, the average net sales price for manufactured housing, modular housing and park models increased 11.4, 4.2 and 12.3 percent, respectively, primarily as a result of price increases and product sold with greater square footage and additional amenities.

Cost of Sales


	March 4, 2018		Percent of Net Sales		February 28, 2017		Percent of Net Sales		Decrease
Cost of Sales	$	149,762		86.0	$	162,013		91.5	$	12,251

Cost of sales decreased $12,251,000 primarily as a result of including prior year costs of $22,934,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities that closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Current year costs increased as a result of higher net sales at existing facilities. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased primarily due to improvements in material cost, labor and manufacturing expenses as the result of product mix, operational improvements and certain costs being fixed amid higher sales. In addition, the cost of sales percentage decreased due to the adverse effect in prior year of the Elkhart and Mansfield facilities.

Results of Operations – Nine-Month Period Ended March 4, 2018 Compared to Nine-Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 — (Continued).

Selling and Administrative Expenses — (Continued)

The increase in selling and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in administrative salaries and wages, health insurance costs, profit based compensation, and approximately $1,203,000 in non-recurring costs associated with the pending merger with Champion Holdings. Administrative salaries and wages rose due to headcount additions and competitive market conditions. Health insurance costs increased as a result of adverse claim experience and fewer employees contributing to the Corporation’s health insurance plan. Profit based compensation increased due to improved financial results. Prior period expenses included $1,394,000 attributable to the Elkhart, Indiana and Mansfield, Texas facilities that closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses rose due to certain costs increasing amid declining sales.

Interest on life insurance policy loans and interest on secured revolving credit facility declined due to the repayment of life insurance loans, and the refinancing of a Credit Agreement with Chase. Amortization on debt financing costs primarily increased as the result of write-off of $69,000 in debt financing costs associated with the termination of the First Business Capital Loan Agreement in July 2017.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources — (Continued)

As noted in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine-month period ended March 4, 2018, cash increased due to cash provided from operating activities of $6,581,000, cash provided from investing activities of $437,000, and cash used in financing activities of $4,312,000. Current assets, exclusive of cash, increased primarily due to a $1,594,000 increase in accounts receivable and an $813,000 increase in inventories. Accounts receivable rose due to increased sales in February 2018 as compared to May 2017. Raw material inventories increased as a result of anticipated production scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter.

Current liabilities increased primarily as a result of a $1,379,000 increase in accounts payable and a $1,320,000 increase in accrued volume rebates; partially offset by a $946,000 decrease in accrued warranty. Accounts payable increased due to increased production at March 4, 2018 as comparted to May 31, 2017. Accrued volume rebates rose as a result of accruals for an ongoing marketing program for manufactured housing customers that approximately begins on March 1 and approximately ends near February 28 the following year. Accruals are made monthly, and the majority of payments are made during the Corporation’s fourth quarter. Accrued warranty declined as a result of fewer unit sales.

Capital expenditures totaled $1,170,000 for the first nine-months of fiscal 2018 as compared to $1,094,000 for the first nine-months of fiscal 2017. The expenditures are for building improvements, and replacing equipment that had reached its full economic useful life.

The Corporation was in compliance as of March 4, 2018 with credit agreement covenants associated with the Secured Revolving Credit Facility with Chase. Management believes sufficient liquidity exists to meet financial obligations that will occur for at least one year after the date of the filing of this periodic report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). 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 several ASU’s that update or clarify the new rules. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — (Continued)

•

Recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Corporation’s revenue comes substantially from the sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models, along with freight billed to customers, parts sold and aftermarket services. The Corporation is currently evaluating how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations by applying the five-step approach to each revenue stream. At this time, material changes resulting from this adoption are not anticipated with the modified retrospective method being utilized.

The Corporation, however, does expect to greatly increase the amount of required disclosures, including but not limited to:

•

Disaggregation of revenue in to categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors;

•

The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers, if not otherwise separately presented or disclosed;

•

Revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period;

•

Information about performance obligations in contracts with customers; and

•

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.

Item 2.

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

Forward Looking Information — (Continued)

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 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.

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 4, 2018, 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 were not effective for the period ended March 4, 2018 as a result of a material weakness identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the accuracy and valuation of raw materials and inventories.

The Corporation is committed to remediating the underlying cause of this material weakness by implementing improvements to our controls and procedures In addressing the material weakness, the Corporation, with the oversight of senior management and the Audit Committee, implemented the following steps to improve internal controls over the accuracy and valuation of raw material inventory:

•

Updated inventory procedure documentation;

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures — (Continued).

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — (Continued)

•

Increased training at all facilities;

•

Implemented planning meetings involving all managers in the weeks leading up to the inventory count;

•

Increased the number of personnel participating in the inventory count;

•

Added internal auditors at the plant level to oversee all aspects of the inventory count;

•

Implemented tag data entry verification process;

•

Implemented tag data reports to review and identify potential recount SKU’s.

•

Implemented a price testing analytic to measure the effectiveness of the inventory count; and

•

Added post-inventory review to assess inventory process and identify further improvement.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) occurred during the third fiscal quarter ended March 4, 2018 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting, except as noted above with respect to the accuracy and valuation of raw materials inventory.
