Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended January 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended January 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.

Note 2 Inventories

New home inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of finished home inventories determined on the specific identification method is removed from inventories and recorded as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. In addition, an allocation of depreciation and amortization is included in cost of goods sold. Under the specific identification method, if finished home inventory can be sold for a profit there is no basis to write down the inventory below the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company acquired certain repossessed pre-owned inventory (Buy Back Inventory) in 2011 as part of an Amendment of the Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement with 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation. This inventory is valued at the Company’s cost to acquire determined on the specific identification method, plus refurbishment costs (any item on the home that needs to be repaired or replaced) incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state. The Buy Back Inventory amount is reduced where necessary on a unit specific basis by a valuation reserve which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

Other pre-owned homes are acquired (Repossessions Inventory) as a convenience to the Company’s joint venture partner, 21st Mortgage Corporation. This inventory has been repossessed by 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation or through mortgage foreclosure. The Company acquired this inventory at the amount of the uncollected balance of the financing at the time of the foreclosure/repossessions by 21st Mortgage Corporation. The Company records this inventory at cost determined on the specific identification method. All of the refurbishment costs are paid by 21^st^Mortgage Corporation. This arrangement assists 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation with liquidation of their repossessed inventory. The timing of these repurchases by the Company is unpredictable as it is based on the repossessions 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation incurs in the portfolio. When the home is sold, the Company retains the cost of the home, an interest factor on the cost of the home and a sales commission, from the sales proceeds. Any additional proceeds are paid to 21^st^ Mortgage. Any shortfall from the proceeds to cover these amounts is paid by 21^st^ Mortgage to the Company. As the Company has no risk of loss on the sale, there is no valuation allowance necessary for this inventory.

Inventory held at consignment locations by affiliated entities is included in the Company’s inventory on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Consigned inventory was $1,385,470 and $1,277,681 as of January 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively.

Pre-owned homes are also taken as trade-ins on new home sales (Trade-in Inventory). This inventory is recorded at estimated actual wholesale value, which is generally lower than market value, determined on the specific identification method, plus refurbishment costs incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state. The Trade-in Inventory amount is reduced where necessary on a unit specific basis by a valuation reserve, which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. A breakdown of the elements of inventory is as follows:

	January 30,			October 31,
	2021			2020

The following is a summary of short-term investments (available for sale):

Equity securities in a public company	$	167,930	$	191,030	$	—	$	358,960

The fair values were estimated based on quoted market prices in active markets at each respective period end.

Note 4 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial investments in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820).

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e. inputs) used in the valuation. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

•	Level 1—Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or<br>liabilities.
•	Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted<br>prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
---	---
•	Level 3—Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both<br>unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
---	---

The following tables represent the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value.

	January 30, 2021
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Note 5 Net Income per Share

These financial statements include “basic” and “diluted” net income per share information for all periods presented. The basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. The diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive common shares.

Note 6 Revenues by Products and Service

The Company operates in one business segment, which is manufactured housing and ancillary services. The Company considers there to be revenue concentration risks for distribution of its products where net product revenues exceed 10% of consolidated net product revenues. The concentration of the Company’s distribution net product revenues below may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and results of operations if sales in the respective distribution channels experience difficulties.

Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, pre-owned homes and insurance agent commissions are as follows:

	Three Months Ended

Note 7 Operating Leases

The Company leases the property for several Prestige retail sales centers from various unrelated entities under operating lease agreements expiring through December 2021. The Company also leases certain equipment under unrelated operating leases. These leases have varying renewal options.

Right of use assets are included as a non-current asset in the amount of $705,037, net of amortization in the consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 30, 2021.

Based on the terms of the lease agreements, all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate of the operating leases is 8.91 years and 3.0%, respectively.

Minimum rental payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Individual components of the total lease cost incurred by the Company in the amount of $48,406 for the three months ended January 30, 2021.

The amount of future minimum lease payments under operating leases are as follows:

The Company repurchased 346 shares of its common stock in February 2021 at a price per share of $30.50.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionand Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Total revenues in the first quarter of 2021 were $9,071,511 compared to $9,443,852 in first quarter 2020. The Company reported net income of $1,065,765 in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a net income of $1,400,141 during the first quarter of 2020. The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida has been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and actions taken in response thereto. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2020 through January 2021 were flat from the same period last year. In addition, the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still adversely affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. Since May of 2020 the Company has experienced unprecedented inflation in forest products, with no immediate relief in sight resulting in significant increases to our material costs. The Company is monitoring these costs and have adjusted our selling prices accordingly to help offset the higher costs.

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit.

Maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of very challenging business conditions during economic recessions in our market area, management will continue to evaluate all expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position, while exploring opportunities to expand our distribution and manufacturing operations.

Our many years of experience in the Florida market, combined with home buyers’ increased need for more affordable housing, should serve the Company well in the coming years. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country.

On June 5, 2020 the Company celebrated its 53rd anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 30 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commission revenues in the first quarter of 2021 were $65,971 compared to $66,748 in the first quarter of 2020. Revenues are generated by new and renewal policies being written which affects agent commission earned. The Company establishes appropriate reserves for policy cancellations based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers, historical experience and other information, which is periodically evaluated and adjusted as deemed necessary. In the opinion of management, no reserve was deemed necessary for policy cancellations at January 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 28% in first quarter of 2021 compared to 31% for the first quarter of 2020. The gross profit in the first quarter of 2021 was $2,497,447 compared to $2,889,849 in the first quarter of 2020. The gross profit is dependent on the sales mix of wholesale and retail homes and number of pre-owned homes sold. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is due to the decrease in sales and primarily due to the significant increases in material costs, primarily as a result of forest based products, which were not offset by additional increases in the sales price of each home manufactured in first quarter 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 14% in first quarter of 2021 compared to 13% in the first quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses in first quarter of 2021 was $1,273,381 compared to $1,256,144 in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in expenses in 2021 were due to the increase in variable expenses which were direct results of employee benefits compensation.

We earned interest income of $30,656 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $101,883 for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the balance and applicable interest rate in the money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the first quarter of 2021 were $13,708 compared to $19,872 for the first quarter of 2020. The earnings from Majestic 21 represent the allocation of profit and losses which are owned 50% by 21st Mortgage Corporation and 50% by the Company.

We received distributions of $45,868 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $83,109 in the first quarter of 2020. The distributions are from an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement between 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow arrangement, relates to certain loans financed by 21^st^ Mortgage Corporation, are recorded as income by the Company when received.

The Company realized pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2021 of $1,401,574 as compared to $1,845,721 in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $335,809 in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to $445,580 in first quarter 2020.

We reported net income of $1,065,765 for the first quarter of 2021 or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, compared to $1,400,141 or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020.

The Company purchased the land for the Tavares retail sales center in January 2021 for $245,000. On February 1, 2021, the Company purchased land in Ocala for a future retail sales center for $1,040,000. We own the entire inventory for our Prestige retail sales centers which includes new, pre-owned, repossessed or foreclosed homes and do not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Company currently has no line of credit facility and no debt and does not believe that such a facility is currently necessary to its operations. The Company also has approximately $3.8 million of cash surrender value of life insurance which it may be able to access as an additional source of liquidity though the Company has not currently viewed this to be necessary. As of January 30, 2021, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $63 million which was funded primarily by stockholders’ equity of approximately $52 million.
