Skyline Corp. (SKY, Financial) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2012-05-31.

Skyline Corporation has a market cap of $41 million; its shares were traded at around $5.49 with and P/S ratio of 0.3.

Highlight of Business Operations:

The Corporation designs, produces and markets manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models) to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities located throughout the United States and Canada. To better serve the needs of its dealers and communities, the Corporation has eleven manufacturing facilities in nine states. Manufactured housing, modular housing and recreational vehicles are sold to dealers and communities either through floor plan financing with various financial institutions or on a cash basis. While the Corporation maintains production of manufactured housing, modular homes and recreational vehicles throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations in sales do occur. Sales and production of manufactured housing and modular housing are affected by winter weather conditions at the Corporations northern plants. Recreational vehicle sales are generally higher in the spring and summer months than in the fall and winter months.

The Corporations housing segment experienced increased net sales in fiscal 2012 as compared to prior year, and management cannot determine with certainty if the increase is sustainable. This uncertainty is based on continuing negative economic conditions previously referenced.

The average net sales price per unit for recreational vehicle products in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 increased approximately 8 percent. The increase is due to sales price adjustments with respect to increased material costs. In addition, the average net sales price increased as result of a shift in consumer preference toward recreational vehicles with higher price points; either through more square footage or greater amenities.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Corporation sold idle housing facilities in Ocala, Florida and Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The sales resulted in gains of $1,114,000 and $1,386,000, respectively. In addition, the Corporation sold its aircraft in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 for a gain of $684,000.

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