Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 |
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 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 and nine months ended July 31, 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 21st
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 21st
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 21st
Mortgage Corporation. This arrangement assists 21st
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 21st
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 21st
Mortgage. Any shortfall from the proceeds to cover these amounts is paid by 21st
Mortgage to the Company. As the Company has no risk of loss on the sale, there is no valuation allowance necessary for this inventory. 7
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 $382,279 and $1,277,681 as of July 31, 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: | July 31, 2021 |

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 liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 - Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted 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 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.

| 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.

The Company reported net income of $1,050,746 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net income of $1,160,138 during the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the first nine months of 2021 was $3,841,449 compared to a net income of $4,110,283 for the first nine months of 2020. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2020 through July 2021 were up approximately 11% from the same period last year. The lack of lenders in our industry, still adversely affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. During third quarter of 2021, our production of homes was impacted due to the challenges in hiring additional factory workers and the unpredictable absenteeism of the
COVID-19
quarantine. These factors have continued in the fourth quarter of 2021. Also, production has incurred shortages in certain building products delaying the completion of the homes and has continued to experience inflation in most building products resulting in significant increases to our material costs and a corresponding decrease in gross profits. We have continued to focus on increasing production of homes due to the above challenges. 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, 2021 the Company celebrated its 54th 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 third quarter of 2021 were $68,294 compared to $72,898 in the third quarter of 2020. Total insurance agent commission revenues for the first nine months of 2021 were $216,908 compared to $212,418 for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in insurance agent commissions in the first nine months of 2021 were due to more new policies and renewals generated 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 July 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 21% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 28% for the third quarter of 2020 and was 24% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 30% for the first nine months of 2020. The gross profit in the third quarter of 2021 was $2,512,744 compared to $2,438,910 in the third quarter of 2020 and was $8,622,876 for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $8,466,254 for the first nine months of 2020. The gross profit is dependent on the sales mix of wholesale and retail homes and number of
pre-owned
homes sold. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the continued inflation in most building products which increased the material cost of each home manufactured in all three quarters of 2021. We are continuing to monitoring this situation and will continue to adjust our selling prices to help offset some of the higher costs on each home. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 11% in third quarter of 2021 compared to 13% in the third quarter of 2020 and was 12% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 13% for the first nine months of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses in third quarter of 2021 was $1,320,456 compared to $1,107,850 in the third quarter of 2020 and was $4,144,350 for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $3,586,622 for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in expenses in 2021 were due to the increase in variable expenses which were a direct result of employee benefits compensation due to the increase in sales.
We earned interest income of $62,491 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $53,209 for the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, interest income was $145,621 compared to $239,365 in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease during 2021 is primarily due to the decline in the investment rates and the decrease in the monies invested.
Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the third quarter of 2021 were $20,202 compared to $20,855, for the third quarter of 2020. Earnings from Majestic 21 for the first nine months of 2021 were $45,959 compared to $61,125 for the first nine months 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. The earnings from the Majestic 21 loan portfolio will continue to decrease due to the amortization, maturity and payoff of the loans.
We received distributions in the third quarter of 2021 of $75,156 compared to $64,053 in the third quarter of 2020 and $121,024 for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $336,447 for the first nine months of 2020. The distributions are from an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement (FRSA) between 21
st
Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow arrangement, which relates to certain loans financed by 21st
Mortgage Corporation, are recorded as income by the Company when received. The earnings from the FRSA loan portfolio will continue to decrease due to the amortization and payoff of the loans. The Company realized
pre-tax
income in the third quarter of 2021 of $1,397,857 as compared to $1,535,603 in the third quarter of 2020. The pre-tax

The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $347,111 in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $375,465 in third quarter 2020. Income tax expense for the nine months of 2021 was $1,226,425 compared to $1,311,780 for the nine months of 2020.
We reported net income of $1,050,746 for the third quarter of 2021 or $0.29 per share, compared to $1,160,138 or $0.32 per share, for the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021 net income was $3,841,449 or $1.06 per share, compared to $4,110,283 or $1.13 per share, in the first nine months of 2020.

The Company paid a
one-time
cash dividend of $1.00 per common share in March 2021 for $3,632,100. 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 a material commitment for a significant capital expenditure. Depending upon when the Company receives the building permit, we plan to build an 11,900 square foot frame shop to manufacture our frames on our current manufacturing plant property on our Ocala Florida property. 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 $3.9 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 July 31, 2021, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $64 million which was funded primarily by stockholders’ equity of approximately $48 million.
