Terry Trexler, President, stated, “The demand for affordable manufacturedhousing in Florida continues to be good. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2019 through January 2020 were down approximately 12% from the same period last year. Constrainedconsumer credit and the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. However, legislation mayhelp improve this situation in the future.

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 exploringopportunities 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 thecountry”.

On June 5, 2019 the Company celebrated its 52nd anniversary in business specializing in the design andproduction of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.
