As Skyline begins its third quarter, historically the slowest period in its fiscal year, it continues to maintain its traditionally strong balance sheet with no debt and a significant position of its working capital in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. This financial strength, along with experienced employees should assist the Corporation in meeting challenges as they occur.
