SKYLINE REPORTS FISCAL 2011 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Skyline’s sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 were $45,827,000 as compared to $35,874,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Sales for Skyline’s manufactured housing segment were $30,629,000 as compared to $25,782,000 for the first quarter a year ago. Sales for Skyline’s recreational vehicle segment were $15,198,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2011 as compared to prior year’s total of $10,092,000.

Fiscal 2011’s first quarter loss before income taxes was $6,065,000 as compared to fiscal 2010’s first quarter loss before income taxes of $6,113,000. Included in prior year’s pretax loss is $412,000 of income from life insurance proceeds.

Skyline established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, and continued to maintain a full valuation allowance during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result, Skyline did not recognize any benefit for income taxes. Skyline, however, did recognize in prior year a benefit for income taxes of $2,206,000. 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.

Net loss for fiscal 2011’s first quarter was $6,065,000 as compared to prior year’s net loss of $3,907,000. On a per share basis, net loss for the first quarter was $.72 versus a net loss of $.47 for a year ago.
